Shen Zhenzhen knew that there was not much time, and was afraid that the difference between life and death would make Li Chu sad. He still has a long life to spend, and he needs a partner who loves and knows each other, so he found a chance to sneak out. Gong, came to Tu’an Village to persuade Dugu Jingyao, hoping that she could return to the palace without Shen Zhenzhu again and spend the rest of her life with Li Chu. Hearing about Shen Zhenzhu’s physical condition, Dugu Jingyao was also very sad.
She knew that the chaos would make her overdraft her life, and she would not be forced to run away in any case. This is the end of the matter, and nothing can change the result. The current situation is the most critical time. If Li Chu knows the truth, he will definitely ignore the court and stay with him until the end. Thinking of this, Pearl still rejected Dugu Jingyao’s suggestion and decided to treat Li Chu. Chu concealed to the end.
Just when Shen Zhenzhu went to Daxingguo Temple under the pretext of secretly going to the Tu’an Village to meet Dugu Jingyao, a major event happened in the palace, and Emperor Xuanzong finally came to the end of his life. Hearing that the emperor died, Su Zong dragged his sickly body from the bed to the Temple of Ganlu, crying bitterly and unable to help himself. His already weak body and excessive grief caused a relapse of serious illness and fainted in the spirit of Xuanzong. Unconscious in front of the bed.
There is news from the Taiyuan Hospital that Su Zong’s illness is difficult to support, I’m afraid it will be done soon. Today, the power of the court and the affairs of the Taishang emperor fall on the shoulders of the prince alone. Although his heart is sad, Li Chu is still awake at all times. Now that the power of the court is in his own hands, the queen will definitely not give up, but I am afraid that she will move quickly, so she ordered Fengshengyi to be vigilant and respond at any time, and she had to rush to Daxingguo Temple and escort Shen Zhenzhu. Go back to the palace. After taking charge of internal and external affairs one by one, he calmly took care of Xuanzong’s funeral.
Li Chu’s guess was very accurate. Looking at the bedridden and unconscious Suzong, Empress Zhang couldn’t help but feel complacent. Now all the troops inside and outside Changan are in her own hands. As long as Li Chu is eliminated, Datang’s landscape will change. . Early in the morning, the eyes and ears reported that the crown prince was out of the city, and the queen immediately asked Li Fuguo to chase people. As long as Shen Zhenzhen got her hands and used her as a threat to force Li Chu to give up the throne, everything was much simpler.
Li Fuguo’s actions were indeed swift. Not long after the news was sent from here, they rushed into the Tu’an cottage and robbed the princess. Dugu Jingyao was outnumbered and was beaten to the ground by the assassin. When Murong Linzhi and Bisque arrived, they only saw the mess on the ground. Dugu Jingyao vomited blood and rolled sadly on the ground.
Back in the palace, Li Chu asked Murong Linzhi to look after Jing Yao carefully, and then discussed with Feng Shengyi urgently about countermeasures. Although the queen was going to use pearls to intimidate her, he would do his best to prevent her from succeeding. Feng Shengyi felt that the prince was a little irritated and wanted to enter the Penglai Pavilion at night. He was trying his best to persuade him, but saw the figure floating by the window. In a blink of an eye, one person covered his face with a cloak and stood in front of the two.
After preparing for so long, it is finally coming to the last moment. Empress Zhang saw Li Fuguo tie Shen Zhenzhu, not only exasperated, but also ignoring Li Fuguo’s greet and beating on horses. She only told him to quickly send Li Chu to the Palace of Longevity in the name of Su Zong’s critical illness, ready to take him in one fell swoop according to the planned plan , If you dare not come, she will threaten Shen Zhenzhu and the fetus in her womb. He also ordered Cheng Yuanzhen to ambush all the inner flying dragon envoys in the Hall of Longevity, waiting to move.
All things were carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan, but the Zhao, Wang and Li family did not show up. Empress Zhang looked down on this cowardly and incompetent prince. If it weren’t for others to support, she would not With such a waste, it’s okay, this kind of person is easier to manipulate, and after he takes the throne, he can save a lot of effort to manipulate him. So instead of waiting for King Zhao, they only asked people to tie Shen Zhenzhu and go straight to the Hall of Longevity.
Seeing the queen’s arrival, the imperial physician hurried forward to ask for an order, saying that Suzong was in danger, and asked the queen to make an order to tell the prince and the officials to visit the Palace of Longevity. What the Queen Mother wanted was this time. If Suzong hadn’t parted with the world at this time, she would help him. So left and right pushed the imperial physician out to deal with it, suppressed the news that Su Zong was critically ill, and only waited for the prince to come and die alone.
The Li family finally appeared in the Hall of Longevity. Seeing his timid appearance, Zhang felt funny in his heart. Anyway, everything will depend on himself. This prince is just a personal puppet. Thinking of this, he didn’t even get angry anymore, so he comforted him with a mellow look, and quietly waited for Li Chu’s arrival together. Su Zong, who was unconscious, looked extremely peaceful. He had no way of knowing that he was murderous at the moment in front of his bed.
