Chapter 1157 Maybe He Was Killed by Zhao Chen

East Palace.

Changsun Wuji and Kong Yingda both stood in front of Li Tai.

"His Royal Highness, on the orders of His Highness, I used extraordinary means to deal with that old guy Fang Xuanling."

"Fang Xuanling will not be able to get up from the bed for at least half a year." Changsun Wuji and Li Tai said with their hands crossed.

Hearing Changsun Wuji say that Fang Xuanling could not get up from the bed for half a year, Li Tai's eyelids trembled slightly.

He looked at Kong Yingda and saw Kong Yingda nodding with him.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Tai's face and he said: "My uncle's attack was a bit harsh. After all, the prime minister is the hero of our Tang Dynasty. How could he be so cruel?"

"Your Highness, Fang Xuanling is ignorant of current affairs and thought it was the time when he was idle. If he is not allowed to have a long memory now, there may be many people who will jump out to accuse His Highness the Crown Prince in the future."

"Today I just cleaned up Fang Xuanling and his second son Fang Yiai. It's a pity that Fang Yizhi is missing, otherwise the three of them, father and son, would all be lying on the ground today." Changsun Wuji said to Li Tai with a stern look on his face.

"Your Highness, the eldest grandson not only beat Fang Xiang until he vomited blood, but also kicked his second eldest son's beloved, the eldest son, and broke his arm." Kong Yingda and Li Tai were talking about what had just happened in Fang Mansion.

Even when he thought about it at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Kong Yingda found it hard to believe that Changsun Wuji would be so cruel this time. Was he determined to cut off all retreats?

"Uncle, you have worked hard today. Let's go back and rest first. I will also invite uncle to attend the meeting tomorrow." Li Tai smiled and said to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji bowed his hands and exited the hall without any expression on his face.

"Mr. Yingda, how credible do you think Changsun Wuji's behavior today is?" Not long after Changsun Wuji left, Li Tai asked Kong Yingda what he thought about Changsun Wuji.

Kong Yingda was also in a dilemma at this moment.

He really didn't want Changsun Wuji to gain Li Tai's trust.

In any case, Changsun Wuji is Li Tai's uncle, born

It is easier to gain Li Tai's trust than himself.

But Kong Yingda can't say that he still doubts Changsun Wuji.

Li Tai asked his attitude towards Changsun Wuji's behavior. Doesn't it mean that he already believed Changsun Wuji's behavior in his heart?

"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Changsun should be willing to take refuge with His Highness, otherwise he would not be so cruel to Fang Xuanling."

"If I hadn't stopped him in time, Lord Changsun would have beaten Fang Xuanling to death." Kong Yingda and Li Tai said truthfully.

He was only responsible for telling Li Tai everything he knew.

As for what Li Tai would think, Kong Yingda couldn't give him any advice.

"Almost beat Fang Xuanling to death?"

"As far as I know, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling do not have much enmity. Fang Xuanling even rescued Changsun Wuji in the past."

"Mr. Yingda, don't you think that Changsun Wuji's performance today was a little too much and not enough?" Li Tai tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly.

Of course Kong Yingda would not accept such remarks.

Just stood aside in silence.

"Let's observe again and see what Changsun Wuji will do at the court meeting tomorrow."

"By the way, has there been any news from Youwuwei? They should have encountered Zhao Chen at this time." Li Tai also talked about the news that Youwuwei went to intercept and kill Zhao Chen.

Li Tai was still very confident about the nearly 1,000 Youwu Guards intercepting and killing Zhao Chen.

The Youwuwei were the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty, and the thousand-man team sent out this time was even more carefully selected.

When Zhao Chen returned from Cangzhou, there were only dozens of people at most.

These people are just like ants in front of an army of thousands of people.

Li Tai now wants to know what the situation is like outside.

.

"Your Highness, the news is still the same as yesterday. General Youwuwei only said that they found traces of Zhao Chen in Xingzhou, only dozens of people."

"But the news of whether Zhao Chen was killed or not has not been returned yet."

"But there is no need to be too anxious, Your Highness. It seems that General Youwuwei is planning to strangle Zhao Chen, so the time to send the news was delayed." After Kong Yingda explained, he comforted Li Tai.

Li Tai would not tell Kong Yingda what he said or think so beautifully.

He knows Zhao Chen very well.

Zhao Chen is definitely not that easy to kill, especially when Zhao Chen knows that he has sent people to kill him.

At the last banquet, Zhao Chen was not dead after being hit by Duangchang Powder.

Li Tai will not have absolute confidence in anything now.

"We are planning to strangle Zhao Chen. Maybe he has been killed by Zhao Chen?" Li Tai looked at Kong Yingda with sharp eyes.

Kong Yingda felt uneasy.

He didn't know why Li Tai suddenly said such a sentence.

"Probably not. Youwuwei has nearly a thousand people, and Zhao Chen and the others only have a few people."

"How could he be killed by Zhao Chen?" Kong Yingda didn't believe it.

Li Tai waved his hand irritably, signaling Kong Yingda to leave.

Kong Yingda cupped his hands and was about to leave when he heard Li Tai say from behind: "Have all the generals guarding the city gates been replaced by our people?"

"It's all our own people." Kong Yingda turned around and was about to ask Li Tai why he asked this, when he saw Li Tai waving to him again.

With doubts in his heart, Kong Yingda turned around and left the hall.

Li Tai stood there in silence for a moment, then left the East Palace.

…

Zhao Mansion.

It was the first time that Li Tai came here to see Queen Changsun since she came out of the palace to live here.

Li Tai didn't want to make the relationship with Empress Changsun too tense.

So the best thing to do is not to see her.

But Li Tai had no choice today.

Zhao Chen's daughter is his last amulet, and he must hold this amulet firmly in his hands.

"My son, Li Tai, pays homage to the Queen Mother." Li Tai walked into the Zhao Mansion alone, saw Queen Changsun sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, and bowed his hands in greeting.

Queen Changsun heard the voice and looked over. When she saw that the person coming was Li Tai, her eyes were a little complicated.

Even now, she still can't figure out why the good boy turned into what he is now.

"Sit down." Empress Changsun was dressed in coarse cloth, but she could not hide her nobility in her movements.

Li Tai sat down, looked at Xiao Ping'an in Wu Xu's arms, and said with a smile: "The little guy's name is Zhao Ping'an, or Li Ping'an?"

Li Tai reached out to hug him, but Wu Xu took two steps back and looked at Li Tai warily.

"Are you here for something?" Queen Changsun said.

The implication is very obvious.

She did not welcome Li Tai here.

Being bullied by Queen Changsun's words, Li Tai felt a little uncomfortable.

He felt that he still respected his mother, otherwise he would not have agreed to her moving to Zhao Mansion.

"What are you talking about, Queen Mother? I came here today to announce the good news to Queen Mother." Li Tai said with a smile.

He was going to tell Queen Changsun that Zhao Chen was still alive, and test whether they knew.

Does Chang'an City still have Zhao Chen's internal support?

"Announcement?"

"How can there be any happy events in this world today?" Queen Changsun's eyes fell on Li Tai's face and she said calmly.

She already understood Li Tai's thoughts at this moment, waved her hands to Wu Xu, and said: "Xiao Wu, take Xiao Ping'an back to rest."
