Li An specially sent someone out to find Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu.

Gu Jingyun's status is special, Qin Xinfang saved the life of the prince and his family, both he and father are thinking of this love.

Originally, it was difficult to repay what was owed, but Gu Jingyun would really be unable to repay it because of his death. For the royal family, this is not a good thing.

So when Gu Jingyun's body was not found and Li Baolu was also missing, Li An was sure that Gu Jingyun was not dead.

He followed the advice of his subordinates and rushed to the capital quickly.

Not long after Li Baolu and the others left, Li An was also escorted onto the official road, but the speed couldn't compare to Li Baolu's.

Because there were too many people who wanted to kill him along the way, they encountered a wave of ambushes or assassinations almost after walking a short distance. Fortunately, reinforcements for them also continued to arrive.

After the bloody storm, Li An finally made it to the gate of the capital city. At this time, everyone's hearts were half relieved.

Because the emperor is still alive, although everyone is fighting to the death in secret, they still have to pretend to be friendly on the surface.

No one would assassinate at the feet of the emperor, otherwise the emperor would not have enough sons to kill.

So when they came under the city gate, everyone felt that most of the danger was eliminated, and the rest was to find a doctor for treatment.

Didn't you see those assassins who had been biting them tightly and then quietly retreated and disappeared after approaching the city gate?

But Li An and the others obviously overestimated the IQ and EQ of some people, and underestimated the determination of some people to want Li An to die.

As soon as Li An was surrounded by people and entered the city gate, an arrow was shot from a building. The guards around him had no time to stop it, but Peng Yu, who was closely following him because of his low force value, reacted quickly. Coming out to stand in front of the prince, the arrow was twice as big as the normal one, and the powerful crossbow arrow pierced through Peng Yu's shoulder and hit Li An's chest behind him...

The two fell down at the same time.

This turn of events frightened the people who entered and left the city, as well as the guards. Without even thinking about it, they formed a human shield, picked up Peng Yu and Li An, and ran away.

The commander of the imperial forest army who came to hear the news stopped them on the way, and while dispatching men to catch the assassin, he escorted them to the palace.

Because it happened under the watchful eyes of everyone, another guard shouted "protect the grandson" out of desperation. In less than half a day, all the people in the capital knew that the grandson was attacked at the gate of the city.

There are all kinds of speculations. Some people say that the grandson investigated the corrupt officials. This is the corrupt officials’ retaliation. Some even speculate that the Hu people want to attack Dachu and send people to kill the grandson first to disarm them...

In short, the price of food in the capital has generally increased by 20% in half a day, and the price of salt has also skyrocketed. Everyone began to stockpile supplies to prevent possible wars.

In the palace, the face of the emperor who heard the report from Shuntian Fuyin was completely dark. The common people didn't know it, but whoever had a little brain in the court didn't know that it was his sons who did it?

Cannibalism has reached the doorstep, it is really embarrassing!

As long as the emperor thinks that they are all his sons and grandsons, he will have no face to go to court again.

It's one thing to know that your sons are fighting for power, but it's another thing to tear it up and hang it out in the sun for people to laugh at.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with competing before. There was only one position of Supreme Being under heaven, and that was his son. Why couldn't he compete?

Even he, didn't he also fight for the throne?

What's more, he wanted to pass on the throne to his favorite, most like him, and inherited his favorite fourth child, but now, the emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He hasn't died yet, and they dared to assassinate openly in order to fight for this position, so when he died, would they kill until there was only one person left?

If he didn't die, would he also be killed?

It is simply unreasonable!

He didn't like the prince, he wanted to abolish the prince, and even tried to kill the prince, but he really didn't want to kill all his sons. He gave birth to a son to inherit the blood, not to kill him.

The emperor felt that he had been too kind to his sons all these years, especially the fourth son. The emperor loved this son so much before, and now he is more guarded against him.

He had already expressed his intention to pass on the throne to him in the future, and he favored Concubine Lan in every possible way in the palace, and even put the queen aside to let Concubine Lan take charge of palace affairs.

In order to make him change his name, he also helped him to suppress the prince's family, and helped him support the forces in the court, so that he could have more ministers' support when he succeeded to the throne.

Give him what should be given to him, what should not be given to him, the emperor thinks that this father has done a good job, but he is not dead yet, so he can't wait to kill his nephew, then is he going to kill the prince next? After that, if he didn't die for a long time, would he also be killed together?

The emperor was already suspicious, let alone an emperor who had lived a long life to fight wits and courage with his ministers but rarely gained the upper hand?

Therefore, in order to teach the fourth prince a lesson, the emperor, who had never waited to see the people in the Prince's Mansion, directly asked the commander of the Yulin Army to bring the injured Li An and Peng Yu into the palace for treatment, and also tidied up the abandoned East Palace for Li An to live in.

The fourth prince was furious when he heard about it, and was about to go into the palace to find his mother and cry, but was held back by his staff to beg him, "His Royal Highness, it is better to be quiet now than to move. You are the most suspected person when your grandson is attacked."

"So what, father won't believe it." What's more, he was the one who did this in the first place.

Of course, the staff also knew that the fourth prince did this, but they couldn’t admit it even if they were beaten to death. He persuaded in a low voice: “Of course the emperor believes in you, but this matter is important. One or two sentences, even if the emperor trusts you, it’s not good to be too biased, so we’d better be careful.”

In a word, the ministers around the emperor are not vegetarians, everyone knows that you did it, even if the emperor will not admit that you did it, but if you try to kill yourself and expose a little bit of it, then even the emperor can't close your eyes and protect yourself you.

Although the princes were suppressed, they have been sitting firmly in the prince's position. Why?

Because although the country belongs to the Li family, it is not the emperor who has the final say.

The abolition of the crown prince requires the consent of the courtiers!

For fourteen years, the emperor can't even abolish the empress, let alone the prince?

They have been working hard to find out the deadly point of the prince and abolish the prince. At that time, the fourth prince will be able to be the prince and ascend the throne as the emperor.

It doesn't matter if the prince can't be abolished, let the emperor leave a will to pass on the throne to the fourth prince, and then control the military power and half of the courtiers in the court, so he won't worry about not being able to ascend the throne.

But now they only have power in the court, and the emperor hasn't given them the military power yet, so it's only bad for them to annoy His Majesty at this time.

Therefore, the aides desperately pulled the fourth prince, and after persuading him, they sent a letter to Concubine Lan Gui, telling her to appease the emperor and not make him suspicious of his master.

No matter who was blamed, the emperor couldn't let the emperor feel that his master did it anyway.

But others are not vegetarians.

His own son was assassinated all the way, and the crown prince was already suffocated. As soon as the city gate incident happened, he started to move, and he must let Dali Temple and Shuntian Fu Yin give him an explanation.

He also sent people out to investigate and find out.

The other princes gritted their teeth with hatred for the fourth prince. Originally, they chased and killed Li An on the dark side, but the arrow at the gate of the fourth prince's city turned everything into a bright one. Not only did the prince and the court's investigation become stronger Times, even the emperor began to investigate and eliminate the forces in Beijing.

This directly led to the exposure and killing of the pawns they had laid before, and the removal of their forces.

The eunuchs and maids in Qianqing Palace have been changed twice, and even the guards have been changed several times, and there is a sudden panic in the court.

However, it was Gu Jingyun who was the most angry.

Li An was taken into the palace. They didn't know his life or death and couldn't contact him. My aunt was still waiting for the imperial doctor and medicinal materials to save her life.

Gu Jingyun's face was as black as charcoal, and he was breathing cold air. While looking for a house, Li Baolu comforted him and said, "We can find Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu first, and let them pass the message. If it doesn't work, I'll try to see if I can enter the palace... "

"No." Gu Jingyun glanced at her unhappily and said, "You think the palace is a vegetable market, you just stay there and don't do things beyond your control."

Gu Jingyun snorted coldly with a dark face: "Look for Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu first, and wait for them for two days. If there is no reply, we will go directly to the prince and let him fulfill his promise."

Gu Jingyun was very unhappy.

Li An owed him, and the deal was also done with Li An. It was in his best interest to have a dialogue with Li An, and he could also strive for the greatest benefit.

But the prince is different, the status of the prince is more valuable, and what the prince owes is his uncle, this kind of love should be asked by his uncle.

Going to look for the prince now means that the uncle will have less to rely on in the future. Moreover, he has never met the prince and does not know him well.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Li Baolu let him take him with her, ran out to rent an independent yard by herself, and bought daily necessities before she hugged him and moved into her new home.

The next day, she carried Gu Jingyun to Tongxin Hall and walked towards the inner city.

Both Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu came from honorable families, so they live in the inner city. It is not difficult to find their homes. The hard part is how to find them.
