Chapter 1131 For the Safety of the Mother

"Queen mother, are you feeling well these days?" Li Tai and Empress Changsun asked in the Li Zheng Palace.

Li Tai was not sure whether Queen Changsun had heard of the rumors outside.

Now Chang'an City is basically in the hands of Li Tai.

Only the Beiya Forbidden Army cannot be controlled by Li Tai now.

Even at the Beiya Forbidden Army's camp, Li Tai couldn't send anyone in.

He had no choice but to send six Nanya guards to surround him.

As for Empress Changsun in the Li Zheng Palace, Li Tai didn't know how to deal with her for a while.

"The body is not bad." Queen Changsun glanced at Li Tai and nodded.

Empress Changsun was always smiling when she saw Li Tai on weekdays, but today there was no smile on her face.

Li Tai's heart sank.

"What's wrong with Queen Mother? Are you unhappy?" Li Tai asked tentatively.

Queen Changsun looked at Li Tai with a trace of disappointment in her eyes.

"Qingque, I heard that you killed two officials in the Taiji Palace and said that they had conspired with Goguryeo."

"Is there any evidence for this?" Queen Changsun looked at Li Tai and asked slowly.

Li Tai's heart skipped a beat.

Since Queen Changsun knew about this, she must also know about other things.

He even instigated people in Chang'an to assassinate Zhao Chen.

And they surrounded the medical school in Wannian County and prevented Sun Simiao from going to Cangzhou.

"Mother, there is evidence. If there is no evidence, how dare I kill people in the Tai Chi Palace."

"They really went too far. If they hadn't colluded with Goguryeo, the army would not have been retreating."

"Father..." Li Tai looked angry and clenched his fists tightly.

Queen Changsun looked at Li Tai.

She really didn't want to believe that the Li Tai from back then would become what he is now just for the sake of becoming a prince.

"Qingque, my mother has heard a lot of rumors these days. They said you..."

"Mother, you yourself said it was a rumor. How could I do such a thing?"

"If my father were here, I would definitely not let those who slander my sons go unpunished.

. "Li Tai grabbed the words and argued with Queen Changsun.

Queen Changsun didn't know what to say.

Of course she didn't want to believe that Li Taizhen was as rumored.

But these days, she has discovered that all the guards outside the Li Zheng Palace have been replaced.

And basically I rarely see other people.

If it weren't for Li Tai's instruction, how could such a thing happen?

"Qingque, since you already know that Zhao Chen is your brother, and now that he is dead, you can let your mother stay in his house."

"Every time my mother thinks about him these days, she feels bad in her heart."

"I regret not letting you recognize each other in the first place." Queen Changsun continued.

She had had enough of not having anyone to talk to in the palace.

Even Wu Xu and Zhao Chen's daughter, it's hard for her to see them these days.

Queen Changsun thought about taking Zhao Chen's daughter, Wu Xu, and Xiao Li Zhi out of the palace.

There, at least there is no depression in this palace.

However, this requires Li Tai's consent.

Li Tai looked at Queen Changsun.

Of course he didn't want Queen Changsun to leave the palace.

If you leave the palace, you will have more worries.

There must be someone in Chang'an plotting to kill him. If Zhao Chen's daughter was missing...

But after all, she was his mother, so Li Tai still couldn't bear it.

Besides, Zhao Chen is now dead, and the city of Chang'an is firmly in Li Tai's hands.

Now we just have to wait for the news of the emperor's death to come.

"Mother, if you want to live in the imperial brother's house, I will naturally agree."

"But for the safety of the queen mother and the emperor's brother and daughter, I have asked the left guard of the East Palace to protect you."

"In this way, I can feel more at ease!" Li Tai said with a smile.

Li Tai made it very clear.

Queen Changsun also listened

I understand what Li Tai means.

If she didn't agree to Li Tai sending people to protect them, Li Tai would not agree to let them leave the palace.

The so-called protection is just to prevent someone from taking them away.

After all, the only person most likely to deal with him, Li Tai, is Li Jing.

Li Tai looked at Queen Changsun, and he understood that as long as he held Zhao Chen's daughter, Li Jing would not dare to move rashly.

When the news of the emperor's death returned to Chang'an, he would naturally become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty. .??.

Empress Changsun just wanted to leave the extremely depressing place of the palace, so she naturally nodded at this moment: "In this case, the empress will take people to live in Zhao Mansion today."

…

Li Tai returned to the East Palace, and Kong Yingda happened to come to report to him the current situation in the court.

Kong Yingda has been very proud of himself these past few days and is overjoyed.

Since he took the position of Minister Zuopushe, the courtiers have been trying to please him.

Many people even rushed to call Kong Yingda their husband.

It is said that the Kong family is the holy place for scholars in the world. As the current head of the family, Kong Yingda is naturally the teacher of scholars in the world.

And after Li Tai brutally killed two officials who dared to speak out in Tai Chi Palace.

All officials in the court were even more afraid of being hated by Li Tai.

They all made friends with Li Tai's henchman Kong Yingda.

Those who give gifts and those who come to visit will never stop for a moment from morning to night.

Even Fang Xuanling is very respectful to him in court now and always asks Kong Yingda about everything.

Today, Kong Yingda seems to be the most powerful person in the court.

"Your Highness, no one in the court dares to talk about His Highness behind his back. This is good news!" Kong Yingda and Li Tai reported the good news.

But Li Tai was not happy at all at this moment.

Queen Changsun moved to Zhao Chen's house, which made Li Tai very irritated.

Zhao Chen is already dead, yet Queen Changsun still cares so much about a dead man.

And she, the prince, who was once her favorite prince, actually let her do that

Avoid it.

"Is there any news coming from the front line? How is my father's situation now?" Li Tai had no intention of talking to Kong Yingda about anything else.

At this moment, he was somewhat eager to hear news from the front line.

The best news would be that the emperor had been poisoned and died.

In this way, Li Tai can ascend the throne as the prince.

Instead of being like this now, always feeling anxious and uneasy.

When the news of the emperor's death did not come for a day, Li Tai felt uneasy in his heart.

Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment.

Ever since the news of Li Tai's assassination of Zhao Chen came out, there has been no news from the front line.

The latest news was brought by Cheng Yaojin.

Of course, that had no effect on Li Tai.

As for what is happening to the emperor now, no one knows.

They didn't dare send anyone to inquire.

"Your Highness, there is no news from the front line, but according to previous news from Hou Junji, it will take up to a month for the poison to take effect."

"It's a month away now, but there are only two or three days left. Thinking about it, it should be soon." Kong Yingda said softly.

They didn't know anything about the situation at the front.

Kong Yingda can only rely on guessing now.

"Don't tell me anything about Hou Junji. If he hadn't made the conspiracy between me and him public, why would I be in such difficulty?"

"When I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely crush Goguryeo and kill his Hou Junji alive." Li Tai looked a little ugly.

Thinking that he was pretty good to Hou Junji originally, and when he and he dealt with Zhao Chen together, he didn't treat him badly.

Even after Hou Junji escaped, he even took him in.

But what Li Tai didn't expect was that Hou Junji would repay kindness with hatred.

He told the emperor everything about himself and his plans, and even sent people to spread the news in Chang'an.

Although Li Tai sent people to arrest those who spread rumors on a large scale, the things these three people turned into tigers must be a stain on Li Tai's life.
