Chapter 1104 Queen Mother, Something Big Happened
Of course Kong Yingda understood the meaning of Li Tai's words.
But at this moment, Kong Yingda was thinking that Li Tai could let himself kill those who helped him kill Zhao Chen just to be sure.
Then in the future, can he let others kill him in order to protect him, Li Tai?
Kong Yingda felt a little nervous.
"What's wrong with Mr. Yingda? But what's the difficulty?" Li Tai looked at Kong Yingda closely.
Kong Yingda was shocked and shook his head quickly.
Now Kong Yingda, with the help of Li Tai, has successfully taken the position of Minister Zuopushe.
Regarding Zhao Chen's matter, as long as those who knew about it were excluded, no matter how powerful the emperor was, he would not be able to find out anything.
So, what else does Kong Yingda have to worry about? .??.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will send someone to handle it immediately!" Kong Yingda said with cupped hands.
Li Tai glanced at Kong Yingda with satisfaction and waved for Kong Yingda to leave.
Then he also stepped out of the hall.
He still had to go and talk to Empress Changsun and the ministers about this "sad" news.
…
Inside the Li Zheng Hall.
Empress Changsun was leaning on a chair made of small-leaf red sandalwood, closing her eyes and taking a nap.
Queen Changsun also feels a little tired these days.
Especially since Zhao Chen didn't come back with Li Ruoshuang, she always felt that something would happen.
This feeling was not very strong before, but two days ago the palace people told her that the prince had given an order not to allow any troops to leave Chang'an.
And said that a Goguryeo spy was discovered.
Blocked Li Ruoshuang's move to lead the Xuanjia Army away.
This inevitably made Empress Changsun even more worried.
"Huh——" Queen Changsun suddenly woke up with a start, beads of sweat on her forehead.
"What's wrong with you, my empress?" The palace attendant hurried over and asked with a worried look on his face. He took a brocade handkerchief to wipe the sweat of Empress Changsun.
"It's okay, I had a nightmare." Empress Changsun waved her hand, looking a little pale.
"
Madam, please go inside and rest, it's easy to catch a cold here. "The palace man and Queen Changsun advised.
Queen Changsun shook her head.
Her husband and son were working outside for the country, how could she sleep peacefully?
Seeing that Queen Changsun was unwilling to leave, the palace officials had no choice but to wait on the side.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here." An attendant ran in from outside.
"Qingque is here, let him in." A hint of joy appeared on Queen Changsun's face.
Last time, Li Tai's attitude of letting the transport team go regardless of everything made Empress Changsun very satisfied.
Secretly, Li Tai is still a filial child who dares to take risks.
At this moment, Queen Changsun was very happy to hear that Li Tai was coming.
Li Tai walked into the Li Zheng Hall with a deep look of sadness on his face.
"Mother, something big has happened!" Li Tai knelt down in front of Queen Changsun with a plop.
Empress Changsun was shocked by Li Tai's sudden arrival.
"Qingque, what's wrong with you? What's going on? You get up first." Queen Changsun came down and wanted to help Li Tai up.
But Li Tai shook his head, his face full of sadness.
"Queen Mother, Mr. Zhao, something happened to him!" Li Tai and Queen Changsun shouted, tears falling down at the same time.
"Zhao...Zhao Chen, he...something happened to him?" Empress Changsun trembled all over, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Empress!"
"Mother!"
Queen Changsun only heard the shouts in front of her, and then she didn't remember anything.
When she woke up, candlelight was flickering outside.
"Mother, how do you feel?" Li Tai sat aside and asked softly.
"Mother is fine, how is Zhao Chen?" Queen Changsun stood up slowly and asked Li Tai.
"Mother
, Erchen received news this afternoon that Mr. Zhao followed the transport team to the front line and was bitten by a poisonous snake on the way. He disappeared after that. His men found traces of someone falling on the edge of a cliff. "
"I suspect it is Mr. Zhao."
"So..." Li Tai looked at Queen Changsun hesitantly, and at this point, tears had already fallen.
Empress Changsun said nothing and held Li Tai's hand tightly.
"Mother and ministers couldn't believe it when they heard the news about Mr. Zhao's accident. They have already sent people to look for him. Maybe Mr. Zhao is fine." Li Tai comforted Empress Changsun.
Although there were tears on his face, Li Tai was also happy in his heart.
Zhao Chen drank the Broken Heart Powder, how could he still have a chance to survive?
To find?
He, Li Tai, just sent people to deal with all the people who knew about it.
Queen Changsun's eyes were red and she looked at Li Tai. At this moment, she only had a relative like Li Tai beside her.
"Qingque, ask them all to step back." Queen Changsun and Li Tai said.
Li Tai hesitated slightly and waved to the palace attendant waiting behind him.
The palace attendants retreated, and Li Tai brought a cup of hot tea to Queen Changsun.
"Mother, please take a sip of tea first." Li Tai said to Queen Changsun.
Queen Changsun shook her head and looked at Li Tai's face.
"Qingque, in fact, the queen mother and your father have always kept a secret from all of you." Empress Changsun said slowly.
After hearing the news that Zhao Chen was in trouble and was very likely to die, Queen Changsun felt extremely crushed.
She is now eager to find someone to talk to, preferably about Zhao Chen.
Li Tai did not answer the question.
He had already begun to guess in his heart that his mother was probably going to tell him about Zhao Chen's identity.
"When I first met Zhao Chen, my mother was extremely surprised."
"Because he and your father had a relationship when they were young.
They look very similar. "
"The key is that Zhao Chen's mother had a very good relationship with the queen, and there was only a wall between the places where Zhao Chen and Cheng Qian were born."
"While wiping the child, a group of people mixed the two together again."
"This didn't make the Queen feel anything."
"But later, the miraculous doctor Sun Simiao told the queen and your father that the queen's qi disease will be passed on to his children."
"Like you, like Azhi, and like Zhao Chen."
"You and Cheng Qian have been together since childhood. He is in very good health..." Queen Changsun continued.
Li Tai didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart.
Regarding Zhao Chen's identity, the courtiers have long made speculations, and rumors are spreading everywhere.
Li Tai himself can basically conclude that Zhao Chen is his brother.
But so what?
He is the prince now. If Zhao Chen's identity is revealed, is he, Li Tai, still qualified to be the prince?
"Mother, why didn't you tell me earlier if you knew that Zhao Chen was my brother?"
"Why would my son be in trouble with him?"
"Now that something happened to my brother, I thought about the disrespect I had towards my brother before. I, I, in my heart..." Li Tai knelt beside the bed, tears falling down.
When Queen Changsun saw Li Tai being so sad, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Holding Li Tai's head and crying non-stop.
…
It was already late at night when Li Tai walked out of the Li Zheng Hall.
At this moment, Li Tai felt refreshed and his face was full of joy.
There is no such sad look as before.
Although he learned Zhao Chen's identity from Empress Changsun, it made him very uncomfortable.
But now Zhao Chen is dead.
It doesn't matter to him anymore.
As long as no one robs him of his position as prince, what is Zhao Chen's identity and what's the point.
