Will succeed

Today, it was rare to see Li Jue with other expressions, how could the queen not be surprised?

"Do you like that girl?" The Queen asked bluntly, Li Jue's surprise turned into discomfort in an instant, and his face flushed.The queen looked at Li Jue with interest, and became even more curious about Fu Li.

For some reason, Li Jue stuttered suddenly: "Son... Erchen..."

Seeing this, the queen couldn't bear it anymore, covered her stomach and laughed.At this time, the queen didn't have the slightest dignified appearance, just like a little girl who heard some great joke.

But Li Jue is not surprised by this, when the queen of a country is so disregarding her image, if an outsider sees it, her eyeballs will fall out of shock.

"Jue'er, this is the first time I've seen you like this!"

"Queen, don't joke with Erchen. She is very important to Erchen. Erchen wants to keep her here for a while. After everything is clear, Erchen will take her back."

The queen was dumbfounded, Li Jue's concern for Fu Li really exceeded her expectations.This time, she didn't care about smiling, but changed a serious face.

"are you serious?"

Hearing the queen's words, Li Jue was inexplicably angry. He found that he didn't like others questioning his sincerity towards Fu Li.Therefore, his uncomfortable look just now disappeared, and he looked at the queen seriously, his eyes full of sincerity: "Mother, I never joke with you, and this time, I hope that the mother can support me."

Hearing this, the queen was not happy, although this was the first time Li Jue said in front of her that he liked someone, but in his situation, it was not allowed to have an affair with a child.

"Jue'er, you have to know that some things are very extravagant for you."

When she said this, there was an indescribably desolate feeling in the queen's tone.Born in the royal family, there are too many people who cannot help themselves, but as a prince, there are even more people who are bound.

Others only saw Li Jue's glamor on the surface, status, power, women... but no one knew that Li Jue, as the prince, was actually more difficult than them.

What Li Jue had to face was not only his political opponents, not only the need to guard against other people's tricks behind his back at all times, but also the emperor's suspicion from time to time.

The emperor is destined to be suspicious, no matter who is sitting on the prince's seat, he cannot be completely trusted by the emperor.This is the emperor's house.

Li Jue was silent, he knew what the queen said was right, but how could he control his heart?

From the moment he met Fu Li, Li Jue knew that this woman was destined to be different in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be so important.All these feelings have gradually accumulated over time, until now they can no longer be expelled from the heart.

"But the queen mother, the son... can't control it."

The queen sighed and looked at Li Jue, wondering what she was thinking.After a while, as if she had figured something out, she smiled and patted Li Jue's head, and said, "Since that's the case, the queen mother can't force you to do anything. If you really like it, then cherish it. Maybe in this lifetime, you can only I can move my heart this time. But, Jue'er, you have to understand that the more you like her, the more you have to bury your thoughts in your heart, otherwise, it will be a disaster in the end."

Feeling the warmth from the queen's palm, Li Jue's hard heart suddenly softened, and the royal family also had some genuine affection.

"My son knows that the queen mother just needs to rest assured, and my son has a sense of propriety."

The queen nodded. She felt at ease when Li Jue was doing things. Besides, she was watching, so nothing major would happen, so she followed Li Jue.

After entrusting Fu Li to the queen, Li Jue came out of Fengqi Palace and met Imperial Physician Wang and Guozi outside the door, and politely said to Imperial Physician Wang: "The wounded inside will be handed over to the imperial physician, and I have to deal with them." It is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, I hope the imperial physician will do more to ensure that she is safe and sound."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Wang nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Li Jue called Guo Zi and left Fengqi Palace.Originally wanted to go to the emperor's bedroom to see the situation, but was told that the emperor was frightened and saw no one, so Li Jue had no choice but to go back to the prince's mansion.

Back in the mansion, Zhongli and the others were already waiting in the study room, and when they saw Li Jue coming back, they hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness."

Lightly waving his hand, Li Jue signaled them to get up, pointed at Zhongli, and Zhongli understood and said, "Since His Highness sent someone back to ask the subordinates to investigate this matter, the subordinates immediately went to investigate. Speaking of which The people did not hide anything, and the subordinates easily found out their origins. According to the investigation, the subordinates found that it was a non-governmental organization that claimed to be the White Lotus Sect. The specific matters are still under investigation and are currently unknown. "

Li Jue nodded. He had heard about Bailianjiao before, and he had heard that their mission was to avenge Empress Tang.It's been a few years now, but I haven't seen them make any moves. This time, I'm afraid there is some purpose!

"Have you found out how they got into the palace?"

Zhang Xinyue stepped forward, handed a piece of information to Li Jue, and said: "This is what my subordinates have found about the White Lotus Sect, and the people who entered Daming Palace are all because of the daughter of a seventh-rank official. The woman's identity is true, but it is said that she disappeared once when she was 13 years old, and it was two years after she came back. After that, the woman seemed to be a different person and took control of everything in the family. Those men in black were also arranged by the woman to enter the palace, and there are internal responses in the palace."

"Do you know who it is?"

"It's the eldest maid of the concubine Qi in the harem. Because of her status as concubine Qi, the subordinates didn't go to get her without the emperor's order."

Hearing Concubine Qi's name, a taciturn and inarticulate woman appeared in Li Jue's mind.It was no different seeing her before, perhaps, her silence was just what she showed on purpose.

To be able to achieve the position of concubine Qi, in the harem where wolves and tigers can be seen everywhere, how can it be as simple as it seems on the surface?However, this does not mean that Concubine Qi is the mastermind behind the scenes, maybe she doesn't know it, and everything comes from that maid.

No one can jump to conclusions until the matter is ascertained.

"Zhongli, send someone to watch over Concubine Qi and that grand maid, and don't startle the snake until you get the imperial father's order."

"This subordinate understands." After finishing speaking, Zhong Li immediately went out to make arrangements. For some things, the sooner the better.

After Zhongli left, Li Jue looked at Zhang Xinyue, put aside the documents in his hands, thought for a while, and finally asked, "How about the Taifu...?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xinyue's expression was solemn, and there was an inexplicable heavy smell in the study: "Mu Qi, the son of the Taifu, died in the chaos. Mrs. Mu was hit and is now in a coma at home, and Ms. An seems to be in a bad mood. That's right, he hasn't spoken since he returned from the palace. As for the Taifu... for some reason, the Taifu didn't have any big mood swings, and he still looks the same."

Even so, Li Jue did not relax, Mu Xi's composure was beyond common sense.His own son died, and his daughter was injured and unconscious, no matter how calm Rao was, there would always be something strange.

Therefore, the more Mu Xi was like this, the more worried Li Jue was.

"Zhang Xinyue, you ask someone to look at the Taifu's family, and tell the Taifu that Fu Li is fine. If there is anything wrong with the Taifu, remember to report it to me. Remember, this is very important!"

When talking about this, Li Jue's expression was more dignified than when talking about it.Zhang Xinyue was awe-inspiring and understood the importance of this matter, and said firmly: "This subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Jue signaled Zhang Xinyue to step back, and sat alone in the study, frowning, thinking about something.

It was dawn soon, but Li Jue didn't sleep all night.Without hesitation, when it was time to enter the palace, Li Jue went to the palace alone.

Ordinarily, it should be the early court time at this time, but the emperor was frightened by the Daming Palace incident and felt unwell, so he postponed today's morning court.

In the final analysis, it was just to prevent court officials from launching a war of words against him.When the imperial army was fighting with the man in black yesterday, the imperial army did not protect them properly, and several family members were killed by the man in black.

This news was not deliberately concealed, so all the ministers should know about it.Therefore, the emperor planned to stop the court first, and after the matter was found out, he would give an explanation to the ministers.

Sure enough, after Li Jue entered the palace, he was taken to the study by Eunuch Sheng.

On the way, Li Jue asked, "Eunuch, what about my father?"

Eunuch Sheng smiled respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, the emperor seems to be in a bad mood." With just this sentence, Li Jue already understood the general situation of the emperor.

Since he is not in a good mood, it means he has recovered from what happened yesterday.With a smirk, Li Jue felt ridiculous for his own thoughts. As an emperor, how could his psychological endurance be poor?

But Eunuch Sheng is willing to say this to him, which means that Eunuch Sheng is already getting closer to him.

No more talking, some things need to be done step by step.

After entering the study, as Eunuch Sheng said, the emperor was sitting on a chair with an angry expression on his face.Seeing Li Jue coming in, the emperor restrained his anger slightly, and said to Li Jue, "How is the investigation going?"

"It's the White Lotus Sect."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, suddenly slapped the table and stood up, roaring: "White Lotus Sect? Is it the White Lotus Sect that popped up a few years ago?"

Li Jue nodded, confirming what the emperor said.Seeing this, the emperor was so angry that he brushed all the things on the table on the ground: "The White Lotus Sect is nothing more than a dishonorable thing, and it has even sneaked into the palace. What are the people in the palace doing for food!"

Seeing the emperor's angry look, Li Jue didn't panic at all, he was still so calm.And this calm made the emperor transfer his anger to him: "And you, as the prince, actually let those people into the palace, do you take my safety at heart?"

Hearing this, Li Jue couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.But the emperor just scolded, not really angry with Li Jue.

After a while, the emperor's anger subsided, and he said to Li Jue, "I want to know the ins and outs of this matter."
