Could it be possible that something so many of us witnessed was false?
Or do you think, Third Brother, that the Thunder Beast is the most important, and our father's life is not important?"
Looking at the smug expression on the eldest prince's face, Li Junyan instantly understood that this was the plan set up by the eldest prince, and he must have considered every aspect carefully.
Seeing Li Junyan's silent face, the eldest prince raised the corner of his mouth, "Third brother, you've returned just in time. Thunder Beast has been sentenced to beheading at noon tomorrow. If you want to see him off, you can go and see him tomorrow. Although you were deceived, you have always treated him as a brother for so many years. It is reasonable for you to see him off before his death.
I believe that whether it is me, my father, or the civil and military officials and the people of Chang'an City, they can all understand you."
Looking at the eldest prince's smug look, Li Junyan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "Where's the emperor? I want to see the emperor."
The eldest prince sighed deeply. "It's not that I won't let you see him, but the Emperor is furious and furious, and now he's even more furious about you because of the Thunder Beast. If you appear before him now, and if you anger him to death, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."
Being a son makes me so angry. Even if you, my third brother, are favored by the goddess, you can't ignore human ethics!
If the news gets out, how will the people of the world view you? Are you going to ask the goddess to help you and kill everyone who dislikes you?
You look so dusty and exhausted, I guess you've suffered a lot on the way. Go back quickly, wash up, and take a rest."
At the end of his speech, the eldest prince waved his hand.
The movements and posture made him act as if he was the emperor.
He hasn't even ascended the throne yet, and it's already become like this.
If he really becomes the emperor, who knows what will happen.
Sang Jueqian endured it again and again, and finally did not slap him down from the stairs.
This is a turbulent time and we cannot afford to let any unexpected events happen.
If something unexpected happened to the eldest prince at this time and Li Junyan happened to be there, then the blame would definitely be put on him.
She is a goddess, but not completely.
If Li Junyan's reputation was ruined because of this, she would have no way to repair it. Right now, she was not able to stop the gossips.
Li Junyan clenched and unclenched his fists, "In that case, I will leave the palace first."
"Wait!" The eldest prince called out to Li Junyan, "Lei Shou's home has been sealed off. If you, third brother, don't want to stay at the inn, you'll have to move back to your mansion. Do you want me to send some people to clean it up for you?"
"Need not."
"I knew that Third Brother would have his own way, so I won't bother with it.
By the way, Madam Defei, the palace caught fire on the day you left, and I'm afraid it must have been burned to ashes."
After the eldest prince finished speaking, he stared at Li Junyan with his eyes wide open, not even daring to blink.
He had a hunch that Concubine De's disappearance was definitely related to Li Junyan.
He didn't care whether Concubine De was alive or dead. He was just curious about how Li Junyan managed to quietly transport Concubine De, Aunt Jin, and all the gold, silver, and jade in the palace away without alerting the guards.
This matter definitely requires the help of the goddess.
But besides the help of the goddess, is there something else?
The eldest prince was guessing in his heart, but his eyes did not move away from Li Junyan's face.
Li Junyan had a blank expression on his face, allowing the eldest prince to stare at him. "Got it. I'll go to Consort De's palace first. If you're worried, you can send someone to follow me."
After saying this, without waiting for the eldest prince to answer, Li Junyan turned around and walked out with big strides.
That anxious look didn't seem fake at all.
Looking at Li Junyan's hurriedly leaving back, the eldest prince frowned subconsciously.
Could it be that he really didn't know? Was Concubine De really dead? But what about those vanishing things?
Questions popped up in his mind one after another, making the eldest prince a little irritated.
After taking a deep breath, the eldest prince gave a solemn order, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and follow him. Follow him closely. Who did he meet, what did he say, what expression did he have? Tell him everything when you come back."
After hearing this, the four young eunuchs did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly caught up with Li Junyan.
Li Junyan galloped all the way and soon arrived at Concubine De's palace.
Ten days have passed, but the place is still in ashes and looks dilapidated, as if no one has cleaned it up.
