Chapter 931 Cui Yingying enters the palace

After hearing what Empress Changsun said, the young general who led the Beiya Forbidden Army immediately replied:

"Replying to your Majesty the Emperor, we have come to take over the defense of the palace in accordance with His Majesty's orders."

When she heard that she was here to take over the defense, Queen Changsun's face turned extremely ugly.

For such a big move, the emperor decided like this without even informing himself?And it came so suddenly.

In an instant, she thought of what happened yesterday and in the morning court just now, and immediately understood that Li Shimin was preparing to purge the harem.

Taking a deep breath, she ignored the Beiya Forbidden Army, but looked at the squad leader and said:

"Have you ever put the things I asked you to find on you?"

The team leader was also a human spirit, so he immediately took out Changsun Wuji's money bag from his arms and handed it over.

After Empress Changsun took the money bag, she waved her hand and said to the team leader:

"It has nothing to do with you here, please leave quickly."

After saying that, he quickly returned to the palace.

The young general from the Bei Ya Forbidden Army saw all this, but didn't say much.

Instead, she waited for Empress Changsun to walk away, and then she quietly signaled to her two subordinates to follow the team leader and ask them to take the person down for questioning.

As for the team leader, when Empress Changsun asked for Changsun Wuji's money bag in front of the Beiya Imperial Guards, he knew something was wrong and he would definitely be targeted.

However, he couldn't figure out what the queen's intention was in doing this.Why do you have to deal with yourself, a little person who carries a message?

So, after hearing the other party's words asking him to leave, he immediately resigned and ran out of the palace.

Now, his only idea is to leave the palace as soon as possible and find a place to hide.

It is very possible that he was involved in some kind of conspiracy without knowing it.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the reason why Queen Changsun did this was just to divert the attention of all parties, let him help her temporarily and attract the attention of all parties.

And she will have more time to plan and resolve the upcoming crisis.

Soon, Queen Changsun returned to the palace, and after shooing away all the attendants, she took out Changsun Wuji's money bag.

Take out the white cloth inside and unfold it.

I saw the white cloth clearly written with twelve big characters: The Cui family is forcing the palace, the prince is in danger, make other plans.

When she saw these twelve words, Queen Changsun felt a pain in her heart. She couldn't help but cover her chest with her hands.

After a while, she began to calm down.

Then, she lit the white cloth in her hand and shouted loudly to the attendants outside:

"Stop, I'm going to the Prince's Mansion."

Immediately, a palace maid hurried in and said with a troubled face:

"I would like to report to you, Your Majesty, your Majesty has ordered that the Prince's Mansion is sealed and no one is allowed to visit."

After hearing that Li Chengqian had been placed under house arrest, Queen Changsun knew the seriousness of the matter.

After thinking for a while, she said again:

"In that case, I will go directly to the emperor."

Even though I know it doesn't make much sense, the superficial work still needs to be done.

After all, Li Chengqian is his and Li Shimin's legitimate son.

If something happened to his eldest son, and he, as a mother, didn't even ask a question, wouldn't it make Li Shimin, the civil and military officials of the court, and everyone in the world feel cold?

After hearing Queen Changsun's words, the palace maid immediately stepped back and prepared to go.

At the same time, Cui Yingying, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, received Li Shimin's order to enter the palace directly to meet the saint.

Soon, she was taken to the imperial study room.

I originally thought that after such a big thing happened, Li Shimin should join the civil and military ministers in the court to attack him and try to protect Li Chengqian.

But unexpectedly, when she stepped into the imperial study, she only saw the two ministers Wei Zheng and Wang Gui, and Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair.

This made Cui Yingying feel a little confused.

Are you, Li Shimin, going to discuss such a big matter with these two stubborn old men?Are you too confused to see yourself, the head of the Cui family?

Or do you, Li Shimin, think you are so great?Don't you take yourself seriously at all?

"I've met His Majesty, I've met these two adults."

Although I am dissatisfied, I still have to have the proper etiquette. Otherwise, if the other party randomly finds an excuse to insert it for me, wouldn't it be a shame?

Seeing Cui Yingying salute, Li Shimin's eyes were full of murderous intent, but he had to endure it.

"Master Cui doesn't need to be polite. If you come, please give me a seat."

Soon, a chamberlain brought a low stool and placed it directly opposite Li Shimin.

Looking at Li Shimin, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, and then at her short and small stool, a flash of anger flashed in Cui Yingying's eyes.

Does the other person really think that he has no temper when he humiliates him like this?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I haven't been feeling well these days. The doctor said you shouldn't sit for long periods of time, so if anything happens, I'll just stand and listen."

Li Shimin was not surprised at all by Cui Yingying's refusal. Instead, he waved his hand and had the stool removed.

"Since it's inconvenient for Patriarch Cui, I won't force it."

After speaking, he looked directly at the other person and said directly:

"I heard that your Cui family has been very unhappy with the prince these days. I wonder if the Cui family can explain it?"

Looking at Wei Zheng and Wang Gui sitting on both sides, and then looking at Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair, looking directly at her, Cui Yingying always felt that the other party looked like this, with this posture, how could he look like he was interrogating a prisoner?

Suddenly, the unhappiness in my heart increased a bit.

Upon hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Cui Yingying did not answer his question directly, but asked instead:

"I wonder in what capacity your Majesty asked me this question?"

"If Your Majesty asks me this question as the lord of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of a country, then I will also answer your Majesty's question as the head of the Cui family and the leader of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes."

"But if His Majesty asks this question as a private person, as a father, then I will also discuss the matter with His Majesty as the head of an ordinary family, a family member of the victim."

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Shimin frowned, but also the expressions on the faces of Wei Zheng and Wang Gui became solemn.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin, waiting for the other party's answer.

At this time, Li Shimin felt as sick as if he had eaten 500 flies.

How should I answer myself?

As the king of a country, discuss with the other party the mistakes committed by the prince?

Or as a father, discussing the mistakes made by his son?
