I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

"What should we do?" Li Xun looked worried, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

"Please, Your Highness, take us in for a while. Once peace is restored, please send us out of Chang'an! We, the nobles, will surely reward you handsomely in the future!"

Cui Lin spoke sincerely, and several nobles behind him nodded, constantly agreeing that they would be rewarded handsomely in the future.

One of the nobles was terrified, his lips trembling as he said, "Your Highness, you must save us! Those Jinyiwei are like butchers, and many of our clansmen..."

As he spoke, his eyes welled up, almost tears forming. The other nobleman also showed a look of fear.

But he still pretended to be calm and said, "Your Majesty, we will definitely remember your great kindness! You are also aware of the power of our noble family."

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, trying to regain some of the dignity of a noble family.

Li Xun was delighted when he heard this. It was a great thing to be able to accept the favors of so many noble families at once.

He immediately patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, no matter how powerful the Jinyiwei are, they dare not come to search my Prince's Mansion!"

He had a confident smile on his face and a smug gleam in his eyes.

"I am the late emperor's cousin! I don't think His Majesty will make things difficult for me!"

As Li Xun spoke, he stroked his beard proudly, his chest puffed out high, and he looked very confident.

After hearing Li Xun's words, the heavy stones in their hearts were relieved a little, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.

But that joy was still mixed with uneasiness, and their eyes kept glancing towards the palace gate, as if the Jinyiwei would break in at the next second.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone said in unison, their voices filled with relief at having survived the disaster.

Zhang Xianhuai led his men all the way to the gate of Hengshan County Prince's Mansion. He pulled the reins and stared at the tightly closed gate of the palace like an eagle, with coldness and determination in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth drooped slightly, revealing his seriousness. Watching the nobles go in and never come out again, his brows knitted together, forming a deep "chuan" character. After a moment's thought, he immediately sent someone to report to His Majesty.

This place is not like any other place. The Prince of Hengshan is a member of the Li clan and the third son of Li Yuan's elder brother Li Cheng. His original name was Li Shixun. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he changed his name to Li Xun to avoid the word "Shi".

According to ethics, Prince Hengshan Li Xun is your Majesty's cousin and should not be touched lightly. Any mistake will cause an uproar.

Zhang Xianhuai waited quietly at the gate of the palace for a while, and the news soon came.

The Jinyiwei who had just rushed in from the Liangyi Palace dismounted, walked quickly to Zhang Xianhuai, and handed him a piece of paper. Zhang Xianhuai unfolded it and saw only one word on it - Kill!

Zhang Xianhuai had a blank expression on his face as he silently clenched the note in his hand tightly, causing it to become slightly deformed.

He looked sharply at the Jinyiwei who had just delivered the letter to him, his eyes as cold as substance.

"Today, I did not ask you to consult His Majesty, and His Majesty did not give me any instructions. Do you understand?"

His voice was low, but carried unquestionable authority.

"Yes, my lord!"

The Jinyiwei responded with a bow, his tone firm, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Zhang Xianhuai nodded slightly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Now, follow my command! Confiscate the Hengshan County Prince's Mansion!"

"As ordered!"

The Jinyiweis all accepted the order and quickly took action. They rushed towards the Hengshan County Prince's Mansion like a gust of wind.

At first, they knocked on the vermilion gate of the Prince's Mansion, and the dull knocks echoed in the quiet street.

However, there was no response from inside the door, as if it were an empty house. The servants inside the house trembled as they looked through the crack in the door at the aggressive Jinyiwei outside, their eyes filled with fear.

No one dared to reach out and open the door. They all knew that once the door was opened, it would not be a good thing.
