Chapter 563 Surveillance

"Send someone to keep a close eye on every move in the East Palace. What does the prince do on weekdays? Who does he meet with? What do these people do?"

"Also, pay close attention to Prince Cao and Prince Jiang. Report any situation immediately, but don't make a fuss." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian also wanted to send someone to capture Li Jue immediately and put him under house arrest in another room.

Hearing about the prince's rebellion, Li Chengqian was really angry.

But on second thought, Zhao Daosheng was just the prince's male favorite, and what he said might not be credible. What if he deliberately framed the prince in order to save his life?

But what if everything Zhao Daosheng said was true? Before everything was clear, Li Chengqian didn't plan to touch Li Jue.

But he would send someone to monitor his every move.

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

Wang Quan came back after arranging everything.

"Do you think I was wrong?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty is wise and brave, and extremely intelligent, how could he be wrong!" Wang Quan smiled.

The leader is always right, and Wang Quan knows this very well.

"I want to hear you tell the truth, speak from your heart, and tell me what you think in your heart, instead of listening to you flatter me here." Li Chengqian said.

"Every word I said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood!" Wang Quan said hurriedly.

"Then why? Why did the prince rebel against me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"That's the prince's fault! The prince should never, ever be disobedient and unfilial!" Wang Quan said.

"Yes, the prince is wrong! It's my fault. I didn't teach him well, so he became what he is now. One wrong step, all wrong steps!" Li Chengqian blamed himself. "

Your Majesty, you are too kind! The reason why the prince is what he is now is because the people around him led him astray! That's why the prince dared to do things that are disobedient and unfilial." Wang Quan said.

"Alright! No matter what, I am also responsible for not teaching the prince well." Li Chengqian said.

Wang Quan stood aside with his head down and said nothing.

Three hours later, the first report on the East Palace was sent to the Daming Palace.

"What did it say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The Crown Prince met with the Minister of the Central Secretariat Li Jingxuan in Guangtian Hall half an hour ago. The other party was very alert, so they didn't hear what they said. Li Jingxuan has left the East Palace, and they are following up." Wang Quan said.

"Li Jingxuan is a man who has read poetry and is well-versed in classics. Now he is the prime minister of the dynasty. How can he be involved with the Crown Prince?" Li Chengqian said.

"Li Jingxuan is also the Crown Prince's teacher. There is nothing wrong with him being close to the Crown Prince." Wang Quan said.

"There is nothing wrong with the teacher-student meeting, but Li Jingxuan often goes to the East Palace. I found that the prince began to change since Li Jingxuan often went to the East Palace."

"Li Jingxuan cannot escape the responsibility for the current situation. He should take full responsibility." Li Chengqian said, and he became more and more angry.

Li Chengqian felt that it was Li Jingxuan who led Li Jue astray.

"Otherwise, I will order someone to arrest Li Jingxuan and torture him severely! Is the prince plotting a rebellion?" Wang Quan asked.

"No need! Just keep watching!" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty's latest intelligence!" An eunuch trotted in.

Wang Quan immediately stepped forward to take it and waved his hand to let the eunuch leave.

"What's the matter? After Li Jingxuan left the East Palace, where did he go? Who did he meet?" Li Chengqian asked.

"After Li Jingxuan left the East Palace, he returned to the mansion and never left again. No suspicious people or ministers met him." Wang Quan said.

"What about the people in Li Jingxuan's family? What are they doing? Has anyone left the mansion?" Li Chengqian asked.

Wang Quan looked carefully and said, "Two servants left the mansion, but one went to buy rouge and powder, which should be used by the women in Li Jingxuan's mansion."

"Another went to the silk shop and hired a tailor. It's about to change seasons, so he should buy some new clothes for them."

"That's all?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes! That's all!" Wang Quan replied.

"Doesn't Li Jingxuan's mansion need to buy food and cook? Why didn't I hear about buying food?" Li Chengqian said suspiciously.

"Li Jingxuan's mansion has someone who delivers vegetables to his mansion, so there is no need to buy them separately." Wang Quan said.

"Then do you keep an eye on this vegetable seller?" Li Chengqian said.

"Really not, he is just a vegetable seller, there is no need to follow him." Wang Quan said.

"How do you do it? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on everyone? The vegetable seller should also be kept an eye on. How do you know whether Li Jingxuan will pass on the message through the vegetable seller?" Li Chengqian questioned.

"I deserve to die. It was my negligence." Wang Quan knelt down hurriedly and said.

He didn't think much about it. He thought that if a vegetable seller caused any trouble, Li Jingxuan would not tell a vegetable seller even if he wanted to plot something.

He didn't think that the vegetable seller could help pass on the message.

"I understand! Let's arrange someone to keep an eye on him. Do you want to send someone to arrest the vegetable seller and interrogate him?" Wang Quan asked.

"No need! You just need to keep a close eye on him! See who he delivers vegetables to and who among them might be Li Jingxuan's accomplices."

"How much can a vegetable seller know? Li Jingxuan won't tell him." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Wang Quan accepted the order.

An hour later, Wang Quan hurried back.

"Your Majesty! I have figured it out! The vegetable seller delivers vegetables to nine people a day, and three of them are delivered by Li Jingxuan." Wang Quan said.

"So, the three people that Li Jingxuan designated to deliver the food should be his accomplices. Li Jingxuan stuffed the information into the prepared food and sent it to the homes of these three people."

"Who are these three people?" Li Chengqian said.

"They are Xu Shixue, the General of the Left Tunwei, Jiang Zheng, the General of the Left Guard, and Jiang Hun, the Minister of the Ministry of War." Wang Quan said.

"It seems that these people are all Li Jingxuan's accomplices. Keep a close eye on their every move. I want to catch them all in one fell swoop." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Wang Quan replied.

"Are there any movements from Prince Cao Li Ming and Prince Heir Jiang Li Wei?" Li Chengqian asked. "

The Crown Prince has sent people to contact Prince Cao and Prince Heir Jiang, but they have been keeping their troops in place and have not made any movement." Wang Quan said.

"Why are they so quiet? What do they want to do?" Li Chengqian said.

"Maybe they don't want to rebel with the Crown Prince, so they don't make any moves." Wang Quan guessed.

"Then why don't they report to the court? I know what they are thinking. It's not possible to play both sides and not offend anyone." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty is right!" Wang Quan said.
