Chapter 15 The Prince's Opinion

In the Guangtian Hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian, who had just returned from Li Er, was entertaining Du He and Zhao Jie for a midnight snack.

At this time, the area around the Guangtian Hall was filled with Li Chengqian's confidants, making the guards of the Guangtian Hall impenetrable. Without the order of the prince, no one was allowed to approach the Guangtian Hall.

"Du He, how did you let the assassin enter Wei Ting's mansion, and how did you know that there was such a secret passage in Wei Ting's mansion?" Li Chengqian asked.

The assassin who was chased down by the Jinwu Guards and escaped into Wei Ting's mansion by climbing over the wall was actually arranged by Du He, and his purpose was to cut off Wei Ting, one of Li Tai's left and right arms.

Li Chengqian, Du He, and Zhao Jie had long known that the assassin they met in Huayin County was sent by Wei Ting.

Li Chengqian and his men were worried that Wei Ting would destroy the body and all evidence against them, so that the case of Li Chengqian's assassination would be left unsolved without any conclusive evidence.

So they had to send out the assassins to stage another case of the prince's assassination.

In the capital under the emperor's feet, the other party dared to be so bold as to assassinate the prince in the street. Isn't this a slap in the face of the royal family?

In this way, Li Ercai would pay more attention to the case of the prince's assassination, and Li Chengqian would be able to get rid of Wei Ting next to Li Tai through this case. Li Chengqian

handed all the actions this time to Du He.

However, Li Chengqian did not expect that there was a secret passage in Wei Ting's mansion, which led to a courtyard not far from Wei Ting's mansion.

"Prince, the reason why I know everything about Wei Ting's mansion and help the assassins escape is because one of Wei Ting's confidants was a spy I planted next to Wei Ting in the early years."

"This time Wei Ting is speechless, and no one will suspect you, Prince. Everyone's eyes will be fixed on Wei Ting and the King of Wei." Du He said.

Du He had already planted his spies next to Wei Ting,

so that the assassins of the East Palace could successfully escape from the heavy encirclement of the Jinwu Guards through the secret passage of Wei Ting's mansion. Wei Ting could not get rid of the suspicion, and all the evidence proved that all this was done by Wei Ting.

As for whether Wei Ting was the mastermind or someone was behind it, it was none of Li Chengqian's business.

"Du He, have you taken care of the ending of the matter? Don't leave any clues behind, it will be bad if someone finds out." Zhao Jie put down the wine glass in his hand and said.

If their plan fails because of Du He's negligence, then they will have worked in vain.

More importantly, if the time comes, they will not be able to overthrow Wei Ting, but also drag them into it, the prince's situation will be even more dangerous.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jie's mind began to think about letting Li Chengqian rebel again.

"Your Highness! Just in case, Your Highness might as well invite General Hou Junji and General Li Anyan to come to the East Palace to discuss major events together."

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes after hearing this. He had finally calmed down the rebellious mood of Hou Junji, Li Anyan and others.

Let life return to a peaceful state, Zhao Jie is still thinking about making trouble.

How can this be possible!

Li Chengqian looked at Du He, who knew that Du He's eyes revealed a supportive look.

OK! Another restless guy who wants to make trouble.

"Du He, are you sure there won't be any problems?" Li Chengqian did not answer Zhao Jie directly, but asked Du He instead.

"Your Highness can rest assured! I have arranged everything, and there will definitely not be any clues that will fall into the hands of court officials. Wei Ting is dead this time." Du He patted his chest and promised.

Li Chengqian was relieved now! With Du He's ability, since Du He has made a promise, then the matter is basically resolved.

As long as there is no accident! Wei Ting is definitely finished.

"Come! Raise your glasses! Let's drink the wine together!" Li Chengqian raised his glasses to Du He and Zhao Jie.

Du He and Zhao Jie also raised their glasses in a hurry, and then the three of them drank it all.

The next morning, Li Chengqian was woken up.

After Li Chengqian got up and washed up, he asked Wang Quan: "Wang Quan, is there any progress in the case at the Dali Temple?"

"My lord! Just now, I saw the Dali Temple Minister Sun Fujia, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites Sun Wuji and others hurried to the palace to meet His Majesty early in the morning!"

"Just now, His Majesty sent someone to invite the King of Wei to the palace. I think Wei Ting must have confessed and also betrayed the King of Wei, so His Majesty called the King of Wei into the palace."

"I would like to congratulate Your Highness in advance! Congratulations, Your Highness!" Wang Quan looked flattering.

The dispute between Li Chengqian and Li Tai for the throne has long been known to everyone. This time, they were able to overthrow Prince Wei Li Tai.

For everyone in the Eastern Palace, it would be a great event. As long as Prince Wei was overthrown, no one would compete with the prince for the throne. In

the future, the prince would be able to firmly seize the power of the empire from His Majesty, and those who followed the prince would be able to rise with the tide.

"Alright! Don't be happy too soon! It's not the last moment yet, and we can't let our guard down. Keep a close eye on the situation in the palace, and report to me immediately if there is any disturbance." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian was not as optimistic as Wang Quan. He really thought that he could bring down Li Tai, the son who held a great weight in Li Er's heart, just based on the assassination of the crown prince. It was basically a dream.

Wei Ting might refuse to admit his guilt and Li Er would let Li Tai go.

At most, Wei Ting would be killed, and then Fatty Xiao Si would be scolded without any pain, and the matter would be over.

"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

Just as Li Chengqian guessed, in the Dali Temple prison, no matter what method they used to interrogate Wei Ting,

Wei Ting was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He refused to admit his guilt and kept shouting that he was innocent and that he was not the one who assassinated the crown prince.

After a night of interrogation, Sun Fuga and others had no choice but to report their work to the emperor.

Li Er also sent someone to call Li Tai into the palace and questioned him. Li Tai naturally denied that this matter had anything to do with him.

As for Wei Ting, Fatty Xiao Si knew nothing.

Although there was not enough evidence to prove that the whole thing was done by Wei Ting, he could not get rid of the connection.

Who said that the assassin escaped through the secret passage of Wei Ting's mansion, and one of Wei Ting's confidants even committed suicide by taking poison.

If this is not suicide out of fear of crime, what is it?

Now, it is still hard to say whether the King of Wei was involved in it.

"In this assassination case, the prince is the victim, so we should listen to his opinion! Wang Yuan, go and call the prince to me. The prince is the victim in this matter, and he should be the one to deal with Wei Ting." After thinking for a long time, Li Er decided to call Li Chengqian first to see what his attitude was.

At worst, he could go to the pawn to protect the chariot, deal with Wei Ting, and save his fat little four, who made fat little four his darling baby.

"Yes!" Wang Yuan took the order and withdrew! Go to the East Palace to summon Li Chengqian to see Li Er.
