The drizzle sound made the Ganqingmen look particularly quiet, and even the air sucked into the nasal cavity was dull and depressing.

Several imperial guards guarding outside the Ganqing Palace stood there as motionless as a rock, forming a sharp contrast with the royal court officials who were like ants on a hot pan around them, one still and one moving.

After a moment, Prince Li broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "You continue to ask for the emperor here, and I will leave the palace to see Ajue."

“…”

“…”

“…”

The others looked at each other in different expressions. Shun Wang cleared his throat and spoke first: "But Prince Chen's mansion has been surrounded by the imperial guards..."

"It's okay." Prince Li didn't care and waved his hand, "Unless the imperial guards were about to rebel, they would not dare to attack me."

After Prince Li left this sentence, he left in a hurry.

In the misty drizzle, Prince Li walked faster and faster, following him with an umbrella for him.

In the past two days, Prince Li has been concerned about this matter from day to night. He has thought about various possibilities and has also measured his interests.

In the past year, the emperor and Gu Jue had several conflicts, but they were not out of control. But this time it was obviously different, and the emperor had the intention to kill.

The emperor must have something to rely on and is determined to win.

A deep word "chuan" frowned in Prince Li's eyebrows.

If the emperor only attacked Gu Jue today, then Prince Li didn't know how to deal with it, and he wouldn't wave to see Gu Jue here.

But the situation is very obvious now. The emperor not only wants to deal with Gu Jue, but also wants to deal with the prince!

In this situation, Prince Li has made a decision in his heart and is in a heavy mood.

As he thought, Prince Li hurried to the Meridian Gate and got on the carriage from the royal palace. The carriage carried him to Zhuque Street, and the coachman's whip continued.

According to the law, if there are no exceptions on the streets of the capital, there is no galloping horse, but now it is an extraordinary moment, and Prince Li doesn't care about so much, so he asked the coachman to rush to Prince Chen's mansion as fast as possible.

Fortunately, there were not many people on the streets on rainy days, and the carriages were unblocked and they ran across several streets. When Prince Li came to his senses from his chaotic thoughts, Prince Chen's mansion had arrived.

Outside the Chen Prince's Mansion, he was still surrounded by a group of imperial guards wearing bronze helmets and iron armor. Apart from these imperial guards, there was no one on the wide Vermillion Bird Avenue, which made Prince Li's carriage look particularly eye-catching.

As soon as the carriage arrived, it was expelled by two tall and mighty imperial guards: "Go and go, the idle people will leave immediately!"

"If I must go in!" Prince Li said, while picking open the curtains of the carriage, his tone was cold and arrogant.

When the other party heard that the person in the carriage called himself "I" and his heart skipped a beat.

At this time, Captain Cheng heard the sound and recognized Prince Li in the carriage. He politely clasped his fists and said, "Prince Li, the last general is also on order. Please do not make things difficult for us."

While speaking, Captain Cheng led Prince Li's gaze to the southeast.

Prince Li followed his gaze and noticed Kang Hongda not far away. He narrowed his eyes that were drooping because of his old age, and a straight line of displeasure appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Prince Li has never had any good feelings for Kang Hongda, and now it is even worse. Kang Hongda is the governor of the Beijing camp, and this time the imperial guards were dispatched to obey his instructions.

Prince Li had to wonder if Kang Hongda instigated something in front of the emperor.

Otherwise, the emperor had been sick for more than two months. During this period, the emperor was unable to manage state affairs and had never seen several court officials. How could the emperor suddenly order the imperial guards to surround the Chen Prince's Mansion?!

There is a high possibility that Kang Hongda is the culprit.

Prince Li no longer talked to Captain Cheng, because the other party could not make any decision anyway. He put down the curtains and simply got off the carriage.

Since the emperor was ill, Prince Li had also visited the emperor and found that the emperor was not only weak, but also his temperament had changed. In the past, the emperor had no choice but to listen to his good words that were not in line with his wishes, and now he has become more extreme than before.

Although Prince Li and the emperor had just talked about family matters, he could already hear the deep fear in his words from the emperor's few words, which was a fear of his old age and death.

Prince Li held Changsui's hand and got off the ground. He wore a five-clawed and nine-python robe to show his noble identity.

Before, Prince Li was hiding in the carriage, Kang Hongda could still pretend that he hadn't seen Prince Li, but now he can't avoid it.

Kang Hongda walked over to Prince Li leisurely, smiling at the corner of his lips, calm and composed.

Prince Li looked straight at Kang Hongda. With the emperor's current state, it would be easier for Kang Hongda to coax the emperor to attack Gu Jue and the prince. After all, Gu Jue and the prince have royal blood, and their youth and strength are the things the emperor longs for the most but unattainable at this moment.

"Prince." Kang Hongda smiled and bowed to Prince Li.

"Master Kang, why are you here?" Prince Li asked straight to the point, smiling seriously at this moment on his usual friendly face.

Facing Prince Li’s questioning, Kang Hongda still smiled and calmly explained: “King Chen privately dispatched troops to Beijing and ordered the Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Army to take action. Both the evidence and physical evidence are there. King Chen clearly wants to rebel!”

"However, King Chen has always been famous, and Kang also wants to give King Chen a chance to argue. He came here early in the morning to see King Chen, but King Chen's mansion refused to open!"

"King Chen is such a big show!"

Kang Hongda sighed and shook his head, with no anger on his face, as romantic as usual.

Prince Li was too lazy to argue with Kang Hongda, but just pointed at the door of the palace and said, "I want to go in!"

Kang Hongda smiled and reached out to Prince Li to make an invitation. His smile was as gentle as the spring breeze, and he said rationally: "Since the prince wants to go in, Kang will naturally not stop the prince. Just look at whether King Chen will give it."

Prince Li was too lazy to say anything to him, so he walked away and walked to the door of one corner.

His Changsu raised his hand and knocked on the corner door, indicating his identity.

Soon, the corner door was opened from the inside. Behind the door was a middle-aged man with a delicate body and a restrained eyes, and respectfully invited the prince to come in.

After saying that, the middle-aged man's sharp eyes passed through Prince Li and landed on Kang Hongda two meters away from behind. His voice rose three points: "If Lord Kang wants to come in, please."

The middle-aged man has an ordinary appearance and dark skin. If he was placed in the crowd, no one would pay attention to it. But he was such an ordinary person, but he had a temperament that was neither humble nor arrogant. He looked at Kang Hongda with no respect for the superiors, nor any timidity.

Kang Hongda paused for a moment, and saw a provocative meaning in the other party's eyes.

His eyes turned, he took steps calmly and said, "Then Kang, please follow the prince."

He followed Prince Li and passed through the corner gate. Two personal guards followed Kang Hongda like shadows, but one person was stopped.

"Master Kang!" The square-faced guard behind who was stopped outside the palace couldn't help but shout.

Seeing this, Kang Hongda didn't care and smiled openly: "When the two countries are fighting, they will not kill the envoys. I can trust His Highness Chen's character."

Kang Hongda's words were not only for the middle-aged people who blocked the door, but also for everyone present to listen on purpose.

Gu Jue has always been extremely conceited and has a good reputation, so he will not kill himself.

So the square-faced guard stepped down, Kang Hongda and Prince Li continued to walk into the palace.

The one who came to the outer ritual gate to welcome the two was Cheng Linhua, the chief of the royal palace.

"Prince, please, Lord Kang."

Cheng Linhua guided them with great etiquette and led them to the main hall of Shaohua Hall of the Outer Courtyard.

Gu Jue was still wearing a loose Taoist robe with moon-white color. He was trimming a pot of holly bonsai that was tall by one person under the eaves. The sharp scissors easily cut off the excess branches and leaves, rubbing, rubbing... The branches and leaves of holly trees were scattered on the ground.

Shen Qianchen smiled and helped him.

In fact, she had nothing to do, that is, she just occasionally handed Bupa to Gu Jue and asked him to wipe the blade of the scissors.

Looking at the couple who were leisurely looking under the eaves, Prince Li was shocked, and unexpectedly, his niece was also here.

Shen Qianchen also saw Prince Li, stepped forward gracefully, and said to him with a blessing: "Uncle."

She asked Prince Li obediently, and only treated Kang Hongda as air, neither looking at him nor talking to him.

Kang Hongda didn't care about Shen Qianchen's ignorance at all, but his scrutiny eyes turned on her.

Since she appeared here, she has proved her status in the Chenwang Mansion and in the heart of Chenwang!

Thinking of this, Kang Hongda's fingertips rubbed the handle of the fan twice, and soon walked to Gu Jue and greeted him: "Your Highness Chen is so elegant!"

His expression and tone were friendly and familiar. If someone didn't know about it, he would probably think they were close friends.

Gu Jue cut off a piece of branches and leaves with scissors, and then he looked at Kang Hongda with a faint voice: "It's not as good as Lord Kang."

The two of them met in the air and looked at each other.

Kang Hongda smiled with a smile on his lips, but his smile was not as good as the bottom of his eyes, and the lightning was shining in his eyes.

Gu Jue's eyes were cold and deep, like the vast night sky, unattainable.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Suddenly, Kang Hongda moved, handed the folding fan from his right hand to his left hand, and showed a moving look on his face, as if he had recalled something, and sighed with emotion: "The prince was not such a humble person before..."

Before he finished speaking, Kang Hongda's right hand quickly pulled out the soft sword from his belt. The soft sword as soft as a snake shook gently and shook open. The soft sword with a cold light stabbed towards Gu Jue like lightning...

He took action too quickly, so quickly that Prince Li was caught off guard and widened his eyes.

Gu Jue didn't even move his eyebrows, and he blocked the opponent's sword with a scissor, easily blocking the opponent's sword. The soft sword collided with the scissor, making a "clang" sound. At the same time, Gu Jue's left hand drew a long sword from the scalpel in Jingfeng's hand, skillfully swept a sword flower with his left hand, and a cold star was drawn from the tip of the sword, sweeping towards Kang Hongda's chest.

Kang Hongda could only take two steps back, avoid Gu Jue's attack, and smiled and said, "Speaking of this, Kang hasn't had a conversation with the prince for many years."

He was chatting and laughing, as if he was not a sneak attack, but was really a competition. While talking, he circled the soft sword in his hand and slashed it across the waist towards Gu Jue, opening and closing, fierce and ruthless.

His sword technique exudes the domineeringness of sword technique.

Gu Jue still held the sword in his left hand and blocked it with his backhand, with ease.

His sword skills were both strong and soft, fast and agile, and his moves were like flowing clouds and water, which made Kang Hongda very shocked: Before today, he had no idea that King Chen could even use the left-handed sword.

Kang Hongda's personal bodyguard watched the two of them nervously, and did not dare to step forward.

He didn't take action, it was a "split" game, not to mention that the rest of the royal palace did not take action.

In the sword shadows with cold light flashing, Kang Hongda's smile gradually became cold, and he sneered: "The emperor has always believed that His Highness King Chen was seriously injured and his life was about to be lost. It seems that His Highness King Chen has been misleading the emperor."

"With His Highness King Chen's skills, it's not like his life is coming soon! Kang even doubts whether you have colluded with Xuan Jing, just to reduce the emperor's vigilance against you!"

"You even planned this marriage, right?"

A cold light flashed through Kang Hongda's eyes. The sword in his hand did not stop. In just a few words, he had been against Gu Jue for several rounds.

It was not until this moment that he figured it out.

So that's what Gu Jue and Shen Qianchen were all about Gu Jue's marriage. He colluded with Xuan Jing and asked the emperor to give him the princess to him. The order for the marriage was a trap made by Gu Jue for the emperor, and the emperor took the bait.

That's why Gu Jue accepted this marriage so easily and even went to Yongding Marquis's Mansion to welcome the bride in person.

Thinking of this, even the unreasonable aspects of Princess Chen can be explained.
