Chapter 793 Questioning
Li Chengqian said in a panic, "Then what should we do now?"
"We still don't know if the murderer has left any clues. We can only wait and see what happens." Du He said.
Li Chengqian nodded, and there was no smile on his face before.
There was a trace of inexplicable color in Du He's eyes. He said this to Li Chengqian because he saw that Li Chengqian was a little too happy.
It is indeed a happy thing that Li Tai was assassinated and his life was in danger.
Once Li Tai died, none of the remaining princes could threaten Li Chengqian's status.
But now that the murderer has not been caught, Li Chengqian is so happy, and Donggong must have other people's eyeliner. Once it gets out, what will others think?
……
Hibiscus Garden, side hall
"Your Majesty, the younger one failed to protect His Highness well, the younger one deserves to die."
Kou Cheng knelt down on the ground, his face ashen.
Li Shimin said coldly: "I've heard about the situation at that time, and I can't completely blame you. I want to know if the murderer has been investigated?"
Kou Cheng said: "Return to Your Majesty, the murderer who assassinated His Highness has committed suicide, leaving only a bow and a few arrows at the scene. The bow and arrows are the standard attack arrows used in the army. In addition, a eunuch in Furong Garden committed suicide. It should be He leaked His Highness's whereabouts."
They were originally the Forbidden Army in the palace, and they were selected to protect Li Tai. They didn't know how to investigate the case at all, so they could only find out this.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu, Li Mu understood, and quietly backed out.
"Okay, you go down first." Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
……
Early the next morning, Sun Simiao came to take Li Tai's pulse.
"Miraculous Doctor Sun, how is Qingque?"
Empress Changsun didn't sleep all night, her expression was very haggard, seeing Sun Simiao's pulse, she hurriedly asked.
Sun Simiao said: "Go back to Empress, His Royal Highness Wei Wang's pulse condition is slightly stronger than yesterday, as long as he can wake up today, there will be no serious problem."
As for what would happen if he didn't wake up, Sun Simiao didn't say anything, and Empress Changsun naturally understood.
"Thank you, Miracle Doctor Sun." Empress Changsun thanked her and ordered someone to send Sun Simiao out.
Sun Simiao sighed, and said, "The empress is not in good health, you should pay attention to rest."
Empress Changsun forced a smile, and said, "I know, thank you Divine Doctor Sun."
Sun Simiao knew that Empress Changsun didn't listen, but he didn't say anything more.
……
Royal Palace
Everyone knew that Li Shimin was in a bad mood, he was a little depressed in the morning, but it ended very quickly.
Li Shimin came to the palace to change the dragon robe under the service of the maid, and was going to visit Li Tai.
"Your Majesty, there are results."
After getting clues from Kou Cheng yesterday, Li Mu went to arrange for someone to investigate. After one night, he finally found something. Li Mu didn't dare to delay, so he came to report.
Li Shimin waved back the maid and eunuch who was serving him, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, he said, "Tell me, what did you find out?"
"Although the supervision of bows and crossbows in the army is relatively strict, there have been a lot of leaks over the years, so it is not easy to investigate. The old slave asked people to investigate the eunuch who committed suicide. Finally, it was found out that the eunuch seemed to be from His Royal Highness. Eyeliner." Li Mu said.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Li Shimin's body shook. Although he had doubted Li Chengqian before, he still didn't want to believe that Li Chengqian did it.
However, if the eunuch who committed suicide was really installed by Li Chengqian, then Li Chengqian would be very suspicious.
Although Li Shimin was asking Li Mu, he knew that Li Mu would not report such a thing without conclusive evidence.
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed true. The eunuch had contacted an eunuch in the East Palace many times, but yesterday, he did not communicate with anyone, so we can only confirm that he had passed information to His Royal Highness, and there is no evidence to prove that he I sent information to His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday." Li Mu said.
"What did the prince do yesterday? Who did he meet?" Li Shimin asked.
"The prince attended the morning court early yesterday morning. After the morning court, His Highness returned to the East Palace. After breakfast, he studied homework with the masters of the East Palace. He studied until the end of the hour, and then His Highness met Du He." Li Mu said.
Li Shimin sensed something was wrong, and asked, "When did Qingque leave the city yesterday?"
"Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei left yesterday at Mao Shichu." Li Mu said.
"I remember that the early court ended at Maozheng, right?" Although Li Shimin was asking, his tone was very certain.
"Exactly."
There was a chill in Li Shimin's eyes. Li Tai set off half an hour before the end of the morning court. Even if Li Chengqian got the news and immediately arranged assassins, it would take time.
And Li Tai was assassinated not long after entering the mountain.
It was obvious that the assassins had ambushed in advance.
But Li Chengqian obviously didn't have the time.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Chengqian to do this assassination.
However, the eunuch Li Chengqian placed in Li Taina committed suicide. Obviously, someone wanted to blame Li Chengqian for this incident.
Assassinated his own son, wanted to blame another son, and wanted to play with him, how could this make Li Shimin angry?
As the saying goes, when the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.
"Go, call the prince here." Li Shimin said coldly.
"Yes." Li Mu bowed.
When Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he had just finished his meal and was about to go to study, when the eunuch informed him that Li Mu had arrived.
Thinking of Du He's words yesterday, Li Chengqian had an ominous premonition.
But Li Mu's coming here must have been ordered by Li Shimin, so he couldn't refuse to see him, so he quickly asked Li Mu to come in.
"This old servant has seen His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty summoned His Highness, please go with this old servant." Li Mu said after saluting.
"Just after the morning court ended, my father summoned Gu. I don't know why? Gu should prepare in advance." Li Chengqian laughed.
"Going back to His Royal Highness, His Majesty didn't say anything, and this old slave doesn't know either." Li Mu said.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Li Chengqian's face. Li Munai was Li Shimin's close servant, so it was impossible that he didn't know anything about it, so he obviously didn't want to tell him.
Although he was angry, he had nothing to do with Li Mu.
Li Mu naturally sensed that Li Chengqian was angry, but he was not afraid.
He was much older than Li Shimin, and he knew too many secrets. Even if Li Shimin was still alive when Li Shimin died, it was impossible for Li Shimin to keep him.
"Then let's go, we can't keep father waiting for too long." Li Chengqian said coldly.
……
"My son and minister see father and emperor." Li Chengqian bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin said blankly: "You should know about the assassination of Qingque, right?"
Li Chengqian said in a heavy tone: "I know that, after hearing the news yesterday, I was very anxious and wanted to go to visit, but the Furong Garden was controlled by the forbidden army, and I was not allowed to enter."
"Visit?" Li Shimin sneered and said, "I see you want to see if Qingque is dead?"
"Why did your father say that?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin in astonishment.
"Did you install an insider in Furong Garden? After Qingque was assassinated yesterday, the insider you installed committed suicide. Don't you want to say something?" Li Shimin asked.
