Chapter 709 Xixia's Hope!
"Father's death, is there something else strange?"

Li Ningling looked at Li Ba with a look of astonishment and confusion, and then Li Ba said: "That's right! Prince, can you imagine how brave the emperor was when he was alive? The queen and Mrs. Wuyi said that it was a golden sore, which was too painful. Then I went crazy, but with the emperor's perseverance, it is impossible to bear the pain of the golden sore... So I suspect that the death of the emperor is not so simple, it must be murdered by someone!"

"Then the emperor..." Li Ningling quickly put on a sad and angry look, and asked, "What should the child and the emperor do now?"

Li Ba had no doubts about Li Ningling at all, because when they heard that Li Yuan fell to his death, the eunuchs and court ladies all saw that Li Ningling had rushed to the scene after the incident, so Li Ba said to Li Ningling: "At present, our first priority The point is to stabilize the situation in the Xingqing Mansion, so that the court cannot be in chaos, and...among the ministers in the court, there are likely to be unruly people lurking, and they must be watched closely, so that the emperor cannot die The news has spread! In addition...the empress and the Wuyi family should also pay attention to observe, the prince should pay close attention to this matter, go now!"

When Li Ningling saw that Li Ba asked him to check on Yelurong and Wuyi, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. Of course... Li Ningling still looked angry on the surface. Before leaving, Li Ningling turned to Li Ba and asked : "Uncle Huang, where are you going now?"

"I'm going to see the emperor's body..." Li Ba thought for a while, and felt that Li Ningling was Li Yuan's son, and Li Ningling was almost the ruler of Xixia now, so Li Ningling had to ask Li Ningling for this matter. Agreed, so Li Ba said: "Prince, uncle is going to check the emperor's body now, hoping to find some clues, so you can only go to the empress and Wuyi's affairs by yourself!"

Li Ningling nodded and said, "Uncle, just go, it's natural to save yourself!"

Li Ningling left Li Ba, then rushed to the palace in a hurry, and immediately informed Yelurong that Li Ba was going to check Li Yuan's body.

Hearing that Li Ba became suspicious, Wu Yi said bitterly: "Well, I still can't hide it from Li Ba!"

Ye Lurong looked gloomy, she snorted coldly, and said to Wu Yi: "Sister, you are wrong, didn't you see that Li Ba has already been cheated by Brother Ning? Otherwise, why would he refuse again and again?" Can you take the position of king, and tell Brother Ning all the doubts in your heart?"

Didn't think so, so he stopped talking.

Then Li Ningling asked, "What should we do now?"

Ye Lurong sneered and said, "Hmph, what Li Ba can think of, can't I think of it?"

Then she lowered her voice, and Yelurong said to Wuyi and Li Ningling: "The emperor's corpse, I have had someone tamper with it a long time ago. That person is a confidant I brought from the Liao Kingdom. Now he is Li Ba. Go check it out, keep him and find nothing!"

Only then did Li Ningling and Mrs. Wuyi feel at ease, and then Li Ningling deliberately came to Li Ba's place at night, and asked him: "Uncle, the evidence has been found, was my father framed to death?"

It's because Li Ba has a lot of experience in the world, and he was deceived by Li Ningling's outstanding acting skills. He sighed quietly and said, "There are bruises everywhere on the emperor's body. Where can I find any clues?"

In fact, it was because of Li Yuan's body that Li Ba didn't dare to move rashly. Otherwise, if Li Ba could dissect Li Yuan's body, he should be able to find the hit on the back of Li Yuan's head by Li Ningling, and then continue. It was found out that Yelurong and Meiyishi were lying.

But even so, Li Ba was still very skeptical. He said to Li Ningling: "Although no evidence was found this time, at least the emperor's body was tampered with after death! Alas... I also blame my uncle for being negligent for a while. , Let the traitor take advantage of the loophole, now the crown prince will go back to the palace immediately, and must send someone to monitor the residence of the queen and Mrs. No Yi, and arrest him immediately if there is any change!"

Li Ningling nodded and went obediently.

After returning to the palace, when Li Ningling told Li Ba's words, Ye Lurong said bitterly: "If Li Ba is not eliminated, our sisters still have the crown prince, and this country will not be stable!"

Li Ningling was also quite scrupulous about Li Ba, so he asked: "Li Ba has the military power, how can we get rid of him?"

Ye Lurong thought for a while, and then a poisonous plan came to her mind, and she told Li Ningling immediately.

Li Ningling nodded repeatedly, then took a small porcelain bottle from Yelurong's hand, and left Yelurong's bedroom.

The next day, Xiao Mo's army broke through Xiliang Mansion, and the news of Wei Mingshouquan's beheading spread to Xingqing Mansion, which made people in Xingqing Mansion panic.

Now in Li Ba's mansion, there is more and more information about Xiao Mo's army's military situation, Li Ba has no choice but to promote the mansion to invite ministers to discuss matters with Li Ningling.

On the map, the arrows of Xiao Mo's army pointed directly at Huizhou, Li Ba said to everyone: "Once General Wei Ming Shouquan dies, only General Xue can take charge of the court, but the defense of Jingzhou must not be lost, and Xingqing Mansion I We can't leave, now that Xiao Mo's army is pointing at Huizhou, what should we do?"

"This……"

A group of civil servants were speechless!

In the end, Li Ningling was helpless, and said to Li Ba with a mournful face: "Uncle, Huizhou is the gateway of Xingqing Mansion. If there is a mistake, Xingqing Mansion will be in a situation where all sides are surrounded. Now there are no generals available in the court. I still hope Uncle Turn the tide!"

Li Ningling meant to let Li Ba go to Huizhou to defend. In this way, if Li Ba was dismissed, Li Ningling and Yelurong could rest easy in Xingqing Mansion.

I have to say that Li Ningling's wishful thinking was very good, but Li Ba shook his head and said, "No, if I leave Xingqing Mansion, if Jingzhou loses, who can support me?"

After thinking about it, Li Ba had no good solution, and finally he could only let out a long sigh, and said: "For the present plan, I can only let my first-rank soldiers go to Huizhou, hoping to hold back Xiao Mo's army, and wait until Wu My lord is back from Liao Kingdom!"

The current situation in Xixia can be said to be fragmented. Except for Jingzhou and Xingqing Mansion, the thirteen states of Xixia are almost all under the control of the Anchao army and other tribes.

Among them, Xiping Mansion and Xiachuan area, as well as Xiliang Mansion, Xuanhua Mansion and Suzhou, have all been taken back by Xiao Mo's army.

But because there was still a glimmer of hope, Li Ba and Li Ningling never thought about surrendering to An Chao!
And this glimmer of hope comes from Wu Hao and the reinforcements from the Liao army!
