Chapter 302 Li Xian's determination to die, a person whom he can trust absolutely

East Palace.

Ying Fei, the leader of the Internal Guard, came to the East Palace with a concealed identity and handed the letter from Li Dan to Crown Prince Li Xian.

After reading the letter, Li Xian looked at Yingfei deeply again.

"The head of the Inner Guard? He dares to employ my brother. He is really brave."

Yingfei raised her head neither humbly nor arrogantly and looked directly at Crown Prince Li Xian.

"I will work for whoever makes my life easier. The Prince of Xiang has treated me well, and I am not blind."

"That is nice."

Li Xian put down the letter and took a sip of herbal tea. Summer had arrived quietly, and there was already a hint of heat in the air.

Living deep in the East Palace, Li Xian no longer needs to worry about too many things and can just live his life to his heart's content.

He lifted up his robe and, regardless of his status as a crown prince, stepped into the pond in the gazes of everyone, using the water in the pond to extinguish the nameless fire in his body.

"Your Highness, I have one more thing to say." Ying Fei stood outside the pond and said softly.

"Tell me... I am no longer a prince of the Great Zhou who can influence the court. No one will plant anyone in my house... By the way, the person that Your Majesty planted in my East Palace has been drowned by me, right in this pond."

Li Xian's voice was sometimes light and sometimes heavy. His feet stepped deep and shallow in the pond. The lotus flowers and leaves were not far from him. He was about to walk over and get closer to appreciate the flowers.

"Your Highness is a very open-minded person." Ying Fei said with her teeth bared, "Prince Xiang asked me to tell Your Highness that the preparation is not needed for the time being, and please be prepared to help Li Cunxi and Li Shaoyin."

"The news I brought back to the capital this time is enough to anger His Majesty, and he will promote Li Shaoyin again. By then, Li Shaoyin will be in a high position at such a young age that it will be hard for him not to be envied by some court officials..."

“Therefore, please ask your Highness the Crown Prince to ask a few adults to escort Li Cunxi at all times.”

Li Xian had already been prepared for all this, and he had thought about more.

Coming to the lotus flowers and lotus leaves, Li Xian's feet were in the mud, but he still had a strong smile on his face.

"Li Dan does not live in the court, so he does not know what kind of person Your Majesty is."

"Your Majesty will never allow Cunxi to rise any further. Even if Your Majesty promotes them this time, Li Cunxi will at most be rewarded."

"The one who can really get promoted is most likely the kid from the Wu family. Cun Xi said he was touring the south, but he was actually going to Jiangzhou. I'm afraid Cun Xi's real promotion will only come after the Jiangzhou incident is over."

"By then, I'm afraid Cunxi will be a fourth-rank official in the current dynasty."

Li Xian had an expression that showed he saw through everyone, but the smile on his face never faded.

This matter has been put before Wu Zetian, and the mother-son relationship between her and the current emperor has been completely severed.

From the rest of their lives, they only had an apparent relationship, and there was no longer any mother-son affection.

He and Li Dan did achieve their goals, and forced Wu Zetian to concentrate all her grudges on one person, but what followed was a life-and-death struggle.

Turn back?

nonexistent.

There’s no looking back.

Li Xian began to count down in his mind, calculating how much time he had left to live.

"His Royal Highness..."

At a distance of more than twenty steps, Yingfei also felt the loneliness and self-willedness of the prince. This intriguing feeling suddenly burst out from the other person, as if he no longer wanted to live.

But don’t people all want to live?

Yingfei didn’t understand, Yingfei couldn’t figure it out, Yingfei decided not to think about it anymore.

Li Xian looked at his son Li Chongrun and daughter-in-law Wu Yuanmo who were still running and playing in the distance, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

When he was emperor, he was a weak emperor, and when he was a prince, he was a weak prince. But now he is a father, having been emperor and the father of a prince twice.

The feud between the descendants of the Li family and the descendants of the Wu family is already difficult to resolve. Wu Chengsi and Wu Yizong may still have room for maneuver, but as for the others, let's forget about it.

If these two people can win, they still have a chance of survival. If Wu Sansi and Wu Youji survive, I am afraid that his whole family will not be able to escape death.

It is possible that after his death, his wife, concubines and daughters might all be taken away by Wu Sansi, and it is even more likely that none of his sons would survive.

He is no longer the same person he used to be. He should really be grateful for the letter that someone handed him privately on the day Li Chongrun married Wu Yuanmo.

If it weren't for that letter, he might have really thought that after Wu Sansi came to power, he would be able to rely on the relationship between his children and in-laws to spare their family.

"Go back and tell Li Dan to take a good rest in Fangzhou. If I need his help one day, I will write to tell him."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Yingfei kowtowed and was finally allowed to leave.

After leaving the East Palace, she looked back at the building complex built next to the imperial palace, licked her lips, and carefully recalled what she had done. After making sure that she had not missed anything, she mounted her horse and left Luoyang for Fangzhou the next day.

The huge Luoyang is not worth remembering, just like the chaotic Wu Zhou Dynasty is not worth remembering.

Ying Fei was galloping on her horse in the outskirts of Luoyang, unaware that a group of people who had been following her secretly for a long time returned to Luoyang after confirming that she had left.

"Your Majesty, Li Ge led the army out of Luoyang and headed for Fangzhou."

"She walked so fast... She can't be trusted, right?"

"Although her surname is Li, she is loyal to Your Majesty and can be trusted among you and me."

"Qingfang, why do you believe her?"

"Based on the information she has reported to Your Majesty over the past few years, there is nothing wrong with it. Your Majesty, if such a minister cannot be trusted, who else can be trusted?"

"The reason why I can trust you 100% is because you are the only one among all the civil and military officials in my court who is loyal to me, and you have also fought for me and made great contributions."

"Huai Ying still has the heart of Li compared to you, Cheng Si is more lazy than you, San Si is narrow-minded and has no talent, Cun Xi is wise and capable but is the descendant of Li Ai, Jian Zhi's heart is with the crown prince, Yi Zong's ability is not worth mentioning, You Ji is not on the same page with me."

"The reason why I let you appear in any major case is to let you make up for the shortcomings of these people."

"It is precisely because I am gradually getting old that I dare not use them to solve the case."

"Let me start with the case of the bleeding eagle that almost cost me my life."

"If Huaiying intervenes in the case of the Bleeding Eagle, he will definitely find ways to separate Lingyue. If Chengsi takes over the case, he will definitely find ways to push it to someone else. If Sansi, Yizong, Youji, and Jianzhi take over, I will definitely die under the magic weapon."

Wu Zetian suddenly let out a long sigh.

Why did she always rely on Li Cunxi to investigate cases? Why was Xiao Qingfang always involved when Li Cunxi investigated a case?

Isn’t that the reason?
