Fairy stop smoking

Chapter 165 Confrontation
"Hehe, it's not a coincidence, but the speed of the eldest sister's carriage is really not bad."

Li Xun didn't intend to give her any good looks towards his eldest sister who was comparable to an enemy.

The distance between the eldest princess's mansion and the imperial palace is much farther than that of the second prince's residence. The eldest princess can come here in such a short time, presumably her heart is definitely not as calm as before.

Facing Li Xun's secret ridicule, Li Qinrui didn't seem to understand, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"That's natural. The means of travel should be properly prepared. If the second brother likes it, there happens to be an idle carriage in my house that I can give you as a gift."

It's a joke to give away an idle carriage. I only use second-hand goods, right?
The dissatisfaction in Li Xun's heart was even worse, he couldn't help snorting coldly because he didn't get any advantage in words:

"There's no need for the carriage. Eldest sister, you'd better keep it. You can exchange for some money if something happens in the future."

After some sarcasm, Li Xun didn't wait for Li Qinrui to make any moves, he waved his sleeves and walked towards the inner palace first, without even looking at her.

For Li Xun's behavior, Li Qinrui still didn't feel the slightest annoyance, just smiled and shook his head and followed quickly.

Under the leadership of the maid and eunuch, the two Highnesses entered the inner palace one after the other.

The door of the Yangxin Pavilion was open, but as soon as the two stepped into the courtyard, they saw the prince kneeling in front of the door, beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead. trembling.

That's the prince, the apparent heir of the empire, no matter how incompetent he is, he shouldn't lose his composure outside the Yangxin Pavilion.

Seeing such an absurd scene, the second prince felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.But with Li Qinrui by his side, it's hard for Li Xun to show the tension in his heart.

This girl still has a calm attitude up to now, it seems that the summoning this time is probably not good for the two of them.

Li Xun was thinking in his heart, walked quickly to the side of the prince, gently tugged at his sleeve, and wanted to take the opportunity to ask what happened.But before he winked, an old voice with endless majesty suddenly came from the Yangxin Pavilion,
"Since everyone is here, come in. Prince, don't kneel outside, come in together!"

Obviously, the old emperor had already learned of the arrival of the crowd through the eunuch's report.

Li Xun lifted the prince with weak legs, and looked at him, and instantly saw the deep fear in his eyes.

The prince grabbed Li Xun's hand, with a crying voice:

"Second Brother, His Majesty has found out about us."

It happened!
The prince's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which stunned Li Xun all of a sudden.What's up?The cooperation between the two of them can alarm the old emperor, it must be the private embezzlement of treasury resources!

A few days ago, the prince was patting his chest to ensure that the problem was all right, but today the matter came to the emperor's place.Recalling the playful smile that the eldest princess saw just now, Li Xun's heart was even colder.

"Li Qinrui, you villain!"

With a lot of thoughts and resentment, Li Xun finally entered the house with a heart full of apprehension.

Perhaps it was because of the decay of the old emperor, the air in Yangxin Pavilion always had a turbid smell.Coupled with the thin figure sitting upright on the bed, it gives people a great sense of oppression.

"Son, see Father!"

The three stood up in order and bowed respectfully to the old emperor on the dragon couch.Except for the crown prince, the faces of the eldest princess and Li Xun showed a little worry just right.

"Ahem~ You don't need to be too polite, let's talk about what you have done these days. Prince, you are the eldest brother, so you go first."

For the performance of the three children, Minji Lee just glanced at them lightly, without showing any emotion on the surface, and casually pointed out the prince.

"Ah, son, son..."

Hearing the old emperor calling him, more beads of sweat appeared on Li Jue's forehead, he opened his mouth tremblingly, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Seeing the elder son's useless appearance, the old emperor couldn't help frowning slightly, waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Okay, you step aside and let Rui'er talk."

Hearing the words, the prince immediately took two steps back as if he had received an amnesty, and stood aside to wait for the verdict.This move made Li Xun, who is also an ally, couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Father Huangcai's attitude just now clearly wanted to hear their opinions on what he had done. After all, if something happened for a reason, it would be okay to mobilize resources.In the end, the prince didn't say a word, so he was ready to plead guilty?
You don't intend to struggle, but I don't want to die yet!
The best sophistry opportunity is wasted like this, stupid teammates are harmful.

Regardless of Li Xun's thoughts, after getting the old emperor's permission, Li Qinrui slowly stepped out.The words flatly talked about the big and small things that happened in the imperial capital in the past few days.

Regarding the struggle for the throne among the three, Li Qinrui also did not hide anything, and told the details in the tone of an outsider.

Although he did not bluntly say that Li Xun and the prince embezzled the national treasury privately, they emphasized that they did not know how to obtain a huge amount of cultivation resources to buy people's hearts.

The short 5-minute narration sent chills down Li Xun's spine.Li Qinrui spoke so transparently that he couldn't even think of any rebuttal words for a while.

After Li Qinrui finished speaking, Li Minji on the dragon bed did not express his opinion, but turned his attention to Li Xun, and asked lightly:
"What about you, brother, what else do you need to add?"

That's all there is to it, it's just a gamble.

Facing Lee Min-ki's majestic eyes, Li Xun took two steps forward, gritted his teeth and said:
"Father, this matter is motivated by the interests of the son and minister. He embezzled the resources in the national treasury and temporarily lent them to some sects that are in urgent need of cultivation resources, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to earn some benefits."

"Is it just for borrowing?"

Listening to the second prince's answer, Lee Min-ki's eyes became sharper, and he asked again coldly.

"It's just a borrowing. The subjects selected by my son are all small sects with little ability to resist. And this matter has also been reported to the old prime minister. The old prime minister and several generals have known about it."

Although he knew that this statement had a lot of loopholes, Li Xun had no choice but to bite the bullet and make it up.Since the prince said that the old prime minister was involved in this matter, he can only hope that the head of civil servants can give some help at this moment.

"So that's the case, then it seems that the emperor still misunderstood you."

Hearing Li Xun's defense, the old emperor nodded slightly in disappointment, and suddenly changed the subject;

"Then announce Liu Weiguang's audience!"

Sensing the slight change in the old emperor's expression, Li Xun's pupils shrank involuntarily, and a terrifying thought suddenly popped up in his heart,

I seem to have forgotten that my judgment is based on the promise given by the prince, but is the old prime minister really on the prince's side?
Li Xun turned his head to look at the prince and wanted to ask him for confirmation again, but Li Jue was also very confused at the moment.Although he arrived two quarters of an hour earlier than Li Xun, apart from being scolded and kneeling at the door, he had nothing but fear in his heart, so he couldn't see the situation clearly.

As the old emperor's words fell to the ground, a familiar figure walked in at the door of the Yangxin Pavilion without haste.

It was Liu Weiguang who came, and the old prime minister must have been waiting outside for a long time.

"The minister Liu Weiguang has seen His Majesty."

The old prime minister bowed respectfully to the dragon couch, with a serious expression but no panic.

The old emperor didn't hesitate, and asked directly:
"Aiqing, you must have heard what the second prince said just now, is it true?"

Hearing the words, the old prime minister didn't look at the hopeful gaze the prince cast on him, but shook his head firmly, and at the same time knelt heavily and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, what the Second Highness said is indeed true. But the Crown Prince's move is said to be an excuse, but in fact it is secretly sent. The old minister was blinded by him for a while, and the minister is guilty."

The old prime minister's backstab completely strangled the last hope in Li Jue's heart.The whole person seemed to have been drawn out of energy, and he collapsed directly on the ground, and couldn't help but wailed loudly:
"Why, why did Prime Minister Liu harm the Crown Prince so much? I don't accept it..."
