Chapter 285: Each with His Own Motives (3)

"General, the princess sent someone to deliver a message." A guard reported to Li Anyan who was on patrol.

Li Anyan stopped, looked back at the guard, and then turned his gaze to the rockery beside him.

"What did the princess say?"

"It was Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu and others who were plotting something big." The guard finished speaking, stepped forward and told Li Anyan the details.

"I know!" Li Anyan said, turned around and left, as if nothing had happened, and continued his patrol.

Li Anyan was really not afraid that Fang Yiai and others would incite the generals of the guards to rebel, because there were people from the Crown Prince in each guard.

Even if Fang Yaoai and others really instigated the rebellion of the remaining generals, Li Anyan would be able to control the remaining guard forces through the people of the Crown Prince.

Fang Yaoai thought he could succeed! By then, he would find that everything was in vain, and there was only a dead end waiting for them. He

wanted to take advantage of the Crown Prince's absence to do some small moves, and then support Prince Jin Li Zhi to ascend the throne, which was simply wishful thinking.

As for Zhangsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, Li Anyan didn't have to worry about them!

Zhangsun Wuji was the uncle of the Crown Prince and Prince Jin, and he had both the palm and the back of his hand. There was no reason for him to betray the Crown Prince and support Prince Jin as the emperor.

As for Chu Suiliang, there was nothing to worry about. He and Changsun Wuji were in the same boat, and he was not so easily bribed.

After Li Anyan finished his inspection, he returned to his residence and sent people to contact the prince's people in each guard, asking them to pay close attention to the people around them to see if they had been instigated to rebel.

In order to avoid affecting the prince's becoming the emperor, they must not let Fang Yiai and others take advantage of the loophole.

Fang Yiai and others have already contacted those wavering people, not only giving them a lot of treasures, but also promising them that once the King of Jin ascended the throne, they would be promoted to higher positions.

These people were naturally overjoyed, and they immediately agreed to Fang Yiai and others' request, becoming their insiders, and when necessary, they would do their best to help the King of Jin ascend to the throne.

In Hanfeng Palace, King of Jin Li Zhi was serving Li Er a soup.

Looking at Li Zhi, whose hair was a little gray, Li Er was very moved. His condition had worsened during this period.

It was because of his most beloved son, who stayed by his side day and night and had not eaten for several days, that he had some gray hair mixed in with his black hair.

Li Er was moved by Li Zhi's filial piety, but also felt a little heartbroken.

"Child!" Li Er called softly.

"Father! Are you feeling unwell?" Hearing Li Er calling him, Li Zhi turned around and said.

He thought Li Er was feeling unwell and was a little worried.

Li Er reached out and held Li Zhi. Looking at the gray-haired Li Zhi, tears could not stop flowing.

Li Er cried, "Since you are so filial, I would have no regrets even if I died. I am sorry for your hard work."

"Father, please don't say that. These are what I should do. There is no hard work. I don't feel wronged." Li Zhi wiped his tears and said.

"I don't have much time left! Let me take a good look at you and touch you. After I die, I will never be able to touch you again!" Li Er said, and reached out to touch Li Zhi's face.

Li Zhi hurriedly grabbed Li Er's hand, leaned his face forward, and let Li Er touch him.

"Father will definitely get better. I pray to God every day, praying that Father will recover soon. As long as Father can recover, I am willing to shorten my life by ten years." Li Zhi cried.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense! I am already very touched by your filial piety. How can I let you shorten your life in exchange for my safety? From now on, don't do this again, understand?" Li Er said anxiously, revealing a trace of fatherly love in his tone. "

Yes! I will remember Father's teachings! But I really can't bear to see Father suffer like this. Every time I see Father in such pain, I feel uncomfortable. I wish I was the one being tortured by the disease." Li Zhi said with tears streaming down his face.

"Child, aging, illness and death are normal. My time is coming to an end! How can human power or medicine change it? I hope that after my death, you will not be sad and be happy every day." Li Er said.

"Don't worry, father! I believe that you will get better. The master from Tianzhu will soon finish refining the elixir. As long as you take it, you will be able to prolong your life and keep your body healthy." Li Zhi said hurriedly.

This was just to comfort Li Er. Although Li Zhi knew that the refined elixir was actually useless, at this moment, he could only believe it once and hope that a miracle would happen.

"Really?" Li Er said with a smile.

"I dare not deceive you, father!" Li Zhi nodded.

He and Li Er had always had a deep relationship. Seeing Li Er dying day by day, Li Zhi felt very uncomfortable.

The person he loved most in the world was also going to leave him. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. As they cried, the father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After a long time, perhaps because they were tired of crying, the two separated, and Li Zhi helped Li Er lie down.

"If only the prince was by my side! I could see him again before I die." Li Er sighed.

The prince was going to stay in Chang'an. Changsun Wuji suggested that he should not summon the prince to Cuiwei Palace, as this would easily distract the prince. Li Er agreed!

"Since father misses his brother, why not summon him to Cuiwei Palace?" Li Zhi asked.

"Your uncle is worried that the prince will be attacked by some people with ulterior motives when he comes to Cuiwei Palace, which will cause unrest, so he persuaded me to let the prince stay in Chang'an." Li Er said.

Li Er felt that what Changsun Wuji said made sense. After all, Changsun Wuji was loyal to him and would not lie to him.

"Uncle is so confused!" Li Zhi cried.

If Li Chengqian didn't come, how could he have the opportunity to take action? Although he was filial to Li Er, it didn't mean that he had no idea about the throne.

If Li Chengqian stayed in Chang'an, he would not have even a glimmer of hope! Only if Li Chengqian appeared in Cuiwei Palace, he would have a glimmer of chance.

Likewise, Li Zhi will be in greater danger. Success and failure are not proportional at all, but he has to give it a try. He doesn't want to leave regrets in his life.

Li Er was stunned! How could he say that?

"Zhi Nu, what do you mean by that?"

"Father is not in good health now! My brother is the crown prince, but he is not by my father's side. This is very unfilial. My uncle is harming my brother!"

"It will only make my brother bear the stigma of being unfilial. How can he gain the trust of the world when he ascends the throne in the future?" Li Zhi said.

"You are right. I will send someone back to Chang'an to summon the prince to Cuiwei Palace. Maybe I can see him again." Li Er nodded.

Li Er immediately ordered Wang Yuan to send someone to Chang'an to summon the prince Li Chengqian to Cuiwei Palace to see him.
