Chapter 17 Let you get out
"Report to Your Highness!"
On the way back to the East Palace, three embroidered censors appeared in front of Li Yunxing without being summoned for the first time.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Your Highness, we have just received news from a spy that there may be something unusual happening in the northwest camp."
"What's the strange movement?" Li Yunxing's face suddenly became solemn.
"After General Wu Shumiao came out of the palace, he sent three flying pigeon letters to the northwest camp. One of them was intercepted by us and asked the prince to see it."
The Censor of Xiuyi handed over the mailbox. Although they were Li Yunxing's minions, they did not have the right to inspect such confidential letters, so they could only deliver them to Li Yunxing quickly.
Opening the bamboo tube, there was indeed a note inside.
"Emperor Wu is in danger."
This note was written very briefly, with only four words but a huge amount of information.
Telling the northwest camp that Emperor Wu was critically ill may have been to increase their vigilance in case his death would cause chaos in the world.
But Wu Shumiao was a reckless man and would not have such foresight.
What if Liu Zhongqing directed him to send the letter? Could it be that he wanted to directly launch an army to rebel?
The northwest camp was Wu Shumiao's home base, and more than 20,000 elite troops were stationed there.
This is no joke.
"Where is Wu Shumiao?"
"Report to the Crown Prince, he is on his way out of the capital, perhaps about to leave the city gate now."
Li Yunxing felt that he had guessed very well. He must have left so eagerly to prepare for the rebellion!
"Quickly send an order to Zheng Hetai, the commander of the imperial guards, to immediately seal off the entire capital and strictly prohibit anyone from leaving the city!"
"You go and bring Wu Shumiao to me. I will interrogate him personally."
"in addition……"
Li Yunxing suddenly paused and glanced at everyone present: "Anyone who dares to leak any information will be killed without mercy!"
"I obey my orders!"
After returning to the East Palace, I haven't changed my clothes yet.
Then an unexpected uninvited guest came to the door, even holding a sword and trying to break in angrily.
"Quick transmission! I want to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just arrived at the East Palace and is now going to wash up. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Eunuch Jinxi went into the inner room to pass the news on his behalf. Li Yunxing happened to be undressing, so he quickly went up to help tidy up.
"Who?" Li Yunxing frowned.
I didn't get a good rest last night, and I kept running around today. No one in the palace is at peace.
"It's King Zhaoyang."
It turned out to be Liu Ruxu's beloved adopted son.
"Let him wait. I didn't get a good rest last night. Don't disturb me to catch up on my sleep."
Jin Xi snorted and exited the bedroom.
Outside the East Palace, King Zhaoyang was still waiting. Dozens of imperial guards sealed the gate tightly, making it impossible for him to break through.
Jin Xi walked closer, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please come back. Your Highness has already rested."
"I must see His Highness today!"
King Zhaoyang spoke firmly.
"Then just wait."
"Wait until the right time?"
"That servant doesn't know. Of course, when the prince wakes up, he can be summoned." Jin Xi said with a smile.
"You!" King Zhaoyang gritted his teeth and stared at him, as if fire was splashing in his eyes.
"If the prince is tired, you can rest in the corner first. When His Highness wakes up later, he will naturally summon you. As long as you wait patiently, you can see His Highness."
Although Su Zhaoyang was young, he had never suffered such humiliation. Even a eunuch dared to be so arrogant towards him!
The setting sun was shining brightly, and Li Yunxing finally woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, there was a maid beside him to wash and dress him. Usually Jin Xi came to take care of him, but today he was not seen.
"Where's Jinxi?"
"Outside the East Palace, King Zhaoyang has been clamoring to see you. Eunuch Jinxi was afraid of disturbing your rest, so he stopped him outside."
Li Yunxing snorted coldly, this King Zhaoyang is quite patient.
"Go and call Jin Xi."
"Here."
Following the announcement from the maid, he took three steps forward and then two steps, jogged all the way to the outside of the dormitory, and saluted respectfully: "See the prince."
Li Yunxing glanced at him and asked, "Did Wu Shumiao catch him?"
"Replying to the prince, he has been caught. But King Zhaoyang has been clamoring to see you, so he has been temporarily placed in prison."
The ghost of Su Zhaoyang is really lingering. Do you think that with the protection of Queen Liu, you dare to walk around in this palace?
Li Yunxing's eyes suddenly darkened a bit.
"Let him get in."
"yes!"
Jin Xi hurriedly ran outside the East Palace and said, "It is said that King Zhaoyang has an audience!"
The guards then released their handles, allowing Su Zhaoyang to enter.
But who would have expected that as soon as he walked outside the door, Jin Xi followed behind and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince said, please get in."
"What do you mean?"
King Zhaoyang's eyes widened and his facial muscles were twisted with anger.
How could he, a majestic prince, be so humiliated by a eunuch?
Jin Xi felt aggrieved and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told you to get out."
"How dare you speak rudely to me! You know what the consequences will be!" Su Zhaoyang shouted sternly.
At this time, Li Yunxing was leaning on the soft couch, his eyes falling on them calmly, as if he was not involved.
At this moment, King Zhaoyang suddenly had a feeling - as if he was facing a high and mighty king who looked down upon all things!
Su Zhaoyang stopped involuntarily and clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh without even realizing it.
At this moment, I suddenly felt someone kick me behind me.
King Zhaoyang fell to the side like a rubber ball and fell heavily on the floor paved with bluestone tiles. He couldn't get up for a long time.
Jin Xi stood at the door with his head slightly lowered, as if nothing had happened.
"You, how dare you humiliate me like this! I will never spare you!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant is only following orders. Your Highness the Crown Prince tells you to get out, so you are going to get out. If Your Majesty doesn't get out, then only this servant will help you get out."
"You!" King Zhaoyang took the opportunity to draw his sword.
At this time, Li Yunxing sneered, and then slowly stood up from the slump.
Looking down at Su Zhaoyang kneeling at his feet like this, he felt an indescribable sense of joy in his heart.
After admiring King Zhaoyang's embarrassing appearance, he asked Jinxi to hold him accountable.
"How dare you Jinxi to treat King Zhaoyang so harshly!"
"I don't dare. I'm just following the arrangements of His Highness the Crown Prince." Jin Xi explained quickly.
"Nonsense! When did I order you to kick the prince to the ground? You are becoming more and more lawless!"
"The slave deserves to die, the slave is smart, the slave is guilty..."
"That's all. If it's your first offense, I'll fine you twenty pieces of gold. You can go and collect the punishment on your own!"
Li Yunxing waved his hand and asked Jinxi to retreat.
Su Zhaoyang was so angry that his teeth itched.
