Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 769 Depressed Li Cunxi

For a moment, Fenghuang felt that her middle clothes were soaked with sweat.

The rumored good-for-nothing Crown Prince Li Xian actually frightened her so much that she could hardly kneel.

At this moment, the smile on Li Xian's face was as gentle as a spring breeze, but it made her feel a chilling feeling as if she was falling into an abyss.

Seven or eight meters away, Fenghuang was shaking like a sieve, but she didn't dare to look at Li Xian even once.

If Fenghuang were really asked to evaluate her true thoughts at the moment, it would probably be that she was severely suppressed by Li Xian, and Li Xian brought a sense of oppression from the emperor.

"Your Highness..."

Phoenix swallowed hard, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down her chin and hitting the floor tiles in the hall.

Li Xian looked at Fenghuang calmly, with an unknown emotion in his smile.

"Relay my words to His Majesty and tell him I understand. As for how to seize this opportunity, I will naturally consider it carefully."

"Your Highness, I understand. I will take my leave."

Fenghuang stood up tremblingly as if she had been pardoned, lowered her head and walked out of the East Palace Hall, then left without looking back.

Only after leaving the gate of the East Palace did Fenghuang breathe a sigh of relief.

She had followed the emperor since she was a child, and she recalled what had just happened. Even though she was unwilling to admit it, she still had to say that Li Xian just now showed the appearance of a dragon.

Whether it is the momentum or the temperament of looking down on the world, it is enough to prove that Li Xian has been reborn and is no longer the same as before.

But Li Xian, who still had an extraordinary attitude at this moment, still chose to pave the way for Li Cunxi. It can be imagined that even though it was extraordinary, Li Xian and the emperor were still two people who were incompatible with each other.

As for why the emperor may have known about Li Xian's transformation, but still wanted Li Xian to pave the way for Li Cunxi, the reason is very simple. Li Xian was deposed by Wu Zetian herself.

If Li Xian had returned to the throne and performed very well, wouldn't Wu Zetian's act of deposing Li Xian have made the empress appear even more foolish?

"None of these bigwigs are simple people."

"Damn it, why did I believe the prince was incompetent before?"

Fenghuang secretly cursed her own ignorance and her belief in other people's opinions, and rushed all the way to Taichu Palace.

After an incense stick of time, Wu Zetian, who was in the imperial study, also finished listening to Fenghuang's description and learned Li Xian's reply.

There was a long silence, and the empress half raised her head.

"You said that the prince's aura alone was so overwhelming that you didn't even dare to raise your head?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am incompetent." Phoenix lowered his head.

"You are not the incompetent one, Fenghuang. The prince is no longer the prince he used to be." Wu Zetian looked towards the East Palace, feeling full of emotion.

In Taichu Palace, she also heard about the transformation that took place in the prince after the case of the bleeding eagle.

From being incompetent and ignorant at the beginning, to becoming shrewd and smart later, and then to conspiring with Li Dan to drag the Prince of the Wu family into the internal strife.

Especially after the Ruzhou case, Prince Wu was forced to step down and the battle for the throne began. People's brains were beaten into dog brains. This was all a good show directed by Crown Prince Li Xian.

What followed was the wisest moment in the prince's life. He rebuked Wu Sansi in a cheerful and cheerful manner and drowned the palace maid she sent to show her determination. After that, she never sent anyone to the Eastern Palace again, as if she had completely forgotten her good son.

"If you had shown the demeanor of a ruler like you do today a dozen years ago, I wouldn't have dared to depose you."

"It's a pity, my son, you grew up too late. You have forgotten that this is my world. So what if you have grown up?"

"In future history books, it will only be recorded that you were deposed by me because of your incompetence and ignorance, and replaced by Li Dan. What I usurped was only Li Dan's kingdom."

"And you, my dear child, you have no chance of becoming emperor."

……

Qin Wangfu.

After Li Cunxi returned home, he and Xiao Mei stayed up until midnight, giving all the energy he had accumulated over the past month to Xiao Mei.

Finally, he lay down comfortably on the bed, with a feeling of satisfaction spreading throughout his body.

Xiao Mei, resting her head on his arm, looked at him with her eyes open, her features looking even more beautiful in the candlelight.

"Why do you seem to be in a bad mood?" Xiao Mei hugged Li Cunxi's neck and asked in a low voice.

"Can you tell that I'm in a bad mood just by looking at my time?" Li Cunxi asked suspiciously.

"what?"

"Nothing much," Li Cunxi said. "I'm just afraid a lot of things are going to happen in the court soon, and I'm wondering if I should make preparations early. But the chess piece I planted in Wu Sansi's house suddenly disappeared, and I don't know what Wu Sansi is doing lately."

After he came back, Ma Rong told him that Yu Zhou could not be contacted.

The last time Yu Zhou was in contact was three months ago. Yu Zhou, who had finally obtained the right to go out, met Ma Rong and conveyed the news from Prince Liang's Mansion.

The news was that Li Xiaoyi was indeed still alive. This news was extremely important, as it was related to whether or not Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian could be found.

But after this news was spread, Yu Zhou, who had said that he could go out more often in the future, suddenly became uncontactable.

Until now, Li Cunxi still didn't know whether Yu Zhou was under house arrest or if something else had happened.

You know, before the Chongzhou case ended, Li Wenzhong, who was the good brother of Shining Snake Wenzhong, took Xiao Feng to kill the Snake Spirit killers in the Helan Mountain Post Station, leaving only Yuzhou.

Finally, Yuzhou was captured alive and brought before Li Cunxi, who personally persuaded him to surrender. After that, he entered the Prince of Liang's mansion as a lobbyist and became a traitor for Li Cunxi.

Several years passed and there was no news from Yu Zhou. When there was finally news, he disappeared again.

"Is it placed there with Wu Sansi? Is it Yuzhou?" Xiao Mei asked.

"It's amazing that you still remember Yu Zhou."

"Of course I remember. He's a famous debater. My eldest sister valued Yu Zhou very much back then. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to take charge of the Turkic affairs on her behalf when she was busy."

A famous debater, also known as a troll.

Yu Zhou is a qualified troll. Such a person has quick wit at critical moments, otherwise he cannot be a troll.

But such people often cannot take charge of the overall situation, because their quick wit is most effective when used, and they do not look much different from ordinary people at ordinary times.

During the Chongzhou case, Yu Zhou also proved this point. He was an average person at ordinary times, but when Mochu raised his army to attack the royal court, Yu Zhou was able to think of a way to defeat the enemy in just a few moments based on some insignificant information.

Even a barbarian like Prince Helu was amazed by him.

This is also the reason why Li Cunxi values him. In Prince Liang's Mansion, Yuzhou's quick wit can bring a lot of convenience.

"That's him. He's the most powerful mole I've ever planted, but he's gone missing."

Li Cunxi was very depressed and pressed Xiao Mei under him again.

"Madam, the night is short, let's continue."

"They're all staring at your belly."
