Li Chengqi's face turned slightly red, and his eyes were secretly surprised that Gao Yanfu's eyes were as sharp as a rifle. He could see through his intentions at first glance. Gao Yanfu looked at him, as if he knew his surprise. He smiled and said, "You don't have to feel strange. Wu Sansi impeached Lai Junchen caused an uproar in the court and the country. Everyone was talking about this, so I can guess your intentions."

"That's true, my father was very surprised. I wonder why Wu Sansi wanted to impeach Lai Junchen. Is there a conflict between them?"

"There must be one thing that has happened. Junchen has always enjoyed the interests of the whole country. Wu Sansi did not get any benefits in the Xingtang Association. Of course, he would take his anger on Lai Junchen. It can be said that they had conflicts because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. Does your father think so too?" Gao Yanfu said to Li Chengqi with a smile.

Li Chengqi nodded silently, "I want to hide it from the lord of the family. My father also thinks so. He said that Wu Sansi will never change his mind and do good. They are just dogs biting dogs. But his father wants to know, will Wu Sansi's impeachment be effective?"

Gao Yanfu shook his head, "The Master has rejected Wu Sansi's impeachment. Frankly speaking, no one can impeach Lai Junchen now."

"Is it because of Xingtang Association?" Li Chengqi asked worriedly.

Gao Yanfu nodded slowly, "It is indeed because of the Xingtang Association that the emperor ordered Lai Junchen to dig deeper into this matter. It was the time when she relied on Lai Junchen, how could she move Lai Junchen? So Wu Sansi hit the wall and was scolded by the emperor."

Li Chengqi hesitated and said, "Last night we received a message from Feige that Yang Pei was assassinated in Chengdu."

"Who did it?" Gao Yanfu asked in surprise.

Li Chengqi shook his head, "I don't know who it is. He was shot and killed at night. It is said that the archery technique is very clever."

Both of them were silent. After a long time, Li Chengqi asked in a low voice: "Mr., is there any news about Li Zhen?"

"Do you suspect that Li Zhen shot him?" Gao Yanfu understood what he meant.

Li Chengqi smiled bitterly and said, "We thought Li Zhen would follow his uncle to Beijing, but when he heard that he suddenly left when he was approaching the capital, I believe he must have received news from Yang Pei."

"He should have received the order from Shangguan Sheren, but there is no evidence that he shot Yang Pei, right?"

Gao Yanfu's expression was very serious. He knew the consequences of shooting Yang Pei. If the emperor knew that it was Li Zhen who shot Yang Pei, Li Zhen would undoubtedly die. Therefore, Gao Yanfu was never vague on this issue.

Of course, Li Chengqi also understood. He quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, my father said there was no evidence, so I was not allowed to make random guesses, and no one saw Li Zhen appear in Chengdu. Maybe it was Wu Furong who said that night was also intercepting Yang Pei."

Gao Yanfu just smiled and didn't say much. Wu Furong was carrying out Princess Taiping's orders, and Li Dan and Princess Taiping were very close. If Wu Furong intercepted Yang Pei, then this represented Li Dan's attitude. Gao Yanfu suspected that Li Dan had taken action.

At this time, Li Chengqi asked in a low voice again: "Mr. I wonder what the emperor's attitude towards my uncle?"

Li Chengqi's uncle was naturally Li Xian, the King of Luling. Gao Yanfu suddenly realized that this was the real purpose of Li Dan asking his eldest son to come to find him.

Gao Yanfu looked at Li Chengqi silently, and Li Chengqi's ears turned red. He began to feel a little uneasy, as if he said something he shouldn't have said, revealing his father's secret.

But this was the explanation given to him by his father. No matter how difficult it is to speak, he had to ask. He hesitated and said, "If the Duke is not easy to answer, there is no need to say more, we can understand."

Gao Yanfu sighed slightly and said, "This is not a question I can answer. I really don't know. I guess even the emperor himself doesn't know. Now the Tang Dynasty is in a critical period. On the one hand, the emperor relaxed the suppression of the Li royal family, but also pursued the Xingtang Association. On the other hand, she exiled Wu Chengsi, but wanted to reuse Wu Sansi. At this sensitive moment, I suggest that your father should stay in simplicity and keep a low profile."

"I understand, I will tell my father the good words of the Duke."

Li Chengqi bowed deeply and said goodbye first, but Gao Yanfu did not move. He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and stared at the distance for a long time. In fact, he also guessed that it must be Li Zhen who shot Yang Pei, which must be Li Xian's intention. Did Li Zhen start to rely on Li Xian? A trace of inexplicable worry arose in Gao Yanfu's heart.

Li Chengqi hurried back to the mansion. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he found a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the gate. Dozens of guards were waiting around the carriage. Li Chengqi recognized the carriage. This was the carriage of his aunt Princess Taiping. He hesitated for a moment. Although his father asked him to go to the study immediately after he came back, since his aunt was here, should he wait for her to leave before seeing her father?

As soon as he walked into the mansion, the butler came out and whispered to him: "Your Highness, it's Princess Taiping here."

"I know, where is my father?"

"The prince is in the guest hall. After the prince asks His Highness to come back, he will go to see him immediately."

"Now?"

"yes"

Li Chengqi thought about it and decided to meet his father and aunt first. He would not mention the matter of seeing Gao Yanfu. He quickly walked towards the guest hall.

In the guest hall, Li Dan was whispering something with her sister Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping had several brothers on it, including Li Xian, the King of Luling. However, relatively speaking, she had the closest relationship with her younger brother Li Dan since she was a child.

Princess Taiping has always supported Li Dan ascending the throne as emperor, but after Li Dan was abolished the imperial heir, she also alienated her brother a little. However, during this period, her mother relaxed her restrictions on her brother and she got closer to her brother again.

Today, Princess Taiping also came to find her brother for Wu Sansi's impeachment of Lai Junchen. This incident shocked the court and the public, and Princess Taiping was no exception.

Princess Taiping took a sip of tea and said, "I know Wu Sansi very well. When Lai Junchen investigates the Xingtang Association, he will never really impeach Lai Junchen. He just made a gesture and told the world that he did not form an alliance with Lai Junchen. The matter of the Xingtang Association has nothing to do with him, Wu Sansi. In this way, even if something happens to the Xingtang Association, he will not be hated by Li Tang's supporters."

"Why did Wu Sansi become smart?" Li Dan sneered disdainfully.

"He didn't have such political wisdom. He had a master around him. It should be Mr. Ming's attention. That person is a little smart and good at weighing the pros and cons."

"Maybe so, but do you think Lai Junchen can really dig out the secret of the Xingtang Association?" Li Dan asked with some concern.

"I told Lai Junchen about the Xingtang Association, why are you worried now?" Princess Taiping asked with a smile.

Princess Taiping said this very frankly, which made Li Dan feel a little embarrassed. He was also surprised. The fact that he sent someone to Fangzhou was very secretive. Only he and his eldest son Li Chengqi knew about it. How could she know?

But Princess Taiping is not like she is tempted, but is confident. It seems that she has certain evidence, and Li Dan can no longer deny it. He smiled awkwardly, "I hope he will check the Xingtang Association at one time, but I don't want him to really find out the secret of the Xingtang Association. There is a fundamental difference between the two."

"I can understand"

Princess Taiping smiled lightly and said, "After all, there is only one throne, brother--"

Li Dan coughed heavily, interrupting her increasingly explicit words, and turning the topic apart: "My sister should know that Yang Pei has been assassinated."

"I heard that, in fact, I came to find my brother for this matter, it should be my brother's actions."

"No" Li Dan shook his head, "I don't deny that I also sent someone to rob Yang Pei, but the person who killed Yang Pei in the end was not my own, but someone else."

"Who does that brother think it will be?"

Li Dan pondered for a moment, and before he could speak, his eldest son Li Chengqi had already appeared in the hall and bowed to salute, "Father, the child is back."

"It's just right, your aunt is here too."

Li Chengqi walked quickly to the lobby and bowed to his aunt Princess Taiping, "My nephew Chengqi meets his aunt."

"Dalang, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Princess Taiping smiled slightly and asked Li Dan again, "Where is Sanlang, why didn't you see him?"

"He seemed to go out to practice polo, and he became a new polo master, Li Bu, the grandson of the King of Wu."

"It turned out to be him. His polo is really good. It seems that Saburo wants to play in the polo game."

The two of them jokingly said a few times, and Li Dan asked Li Chengqi again, "What news does Gao Fujun tell you?"

Li Chengqi hesitated for a moment and secretly glanced at his aunt. Princess Taiping's eyes were so sharp. She immediately saw through his thoughts and smiled and said, "Dalang just said bluntly that your father would not hide anything from me."

Li Dan also smiled faintly and said, "Tell me."

Li Chengqi had no choice but to bow and said, "The child first asked Wu Sansi about impeaching Lai Junchen."

"What do you say about Gao Fujun?" Princess Taiping asked with great interest.

"He said that the Supreme General Wu Sansi was scolding her and scolded her, and asked Wu Sansi to take back the impeachment. The Supreme Master said that it was time to use people, so that Wu Sansi would not cause trouble for her.

Li Dan and his sister looked at each other, and both of them showed a look of worry. They both understood their mother's deep meaning. It seemed that she really wanted to investigate the matter of Xingtang Association and value Lai Junchen so much.

Li Chengqi continued: "The Lord of Gao Fu also said that Wu Sansi was not sincere in impeaching Lai Junchen, but for the sake of gaining fame and bribing the clan members."

This reason was expected by Princess Taiping. She sneered and said, "Besides this, there is probably another reason, that is, the two of them had an internal conflict. It is very likely that Lai Junchen did not keep the alliance and violated Wu Sansi's interests. Otherwise, Wu Sansi would not have lost his composure."

"What else did Gao Fujun say?"

Li Dan paused and asked again: "I mean who is the real murderer of Yang Pei being stabbed? Do you know about Gao Fujun?"

Li Chengqi immediately felt relieved. It seemed that his father was not stupid, so he still allowed himself to keep it. His father was hinting at himself, only saying what he asked, but not what he didn't ask, such as about Li Xian.

Li Chengqi smiled and said, "Reporting to his father and aunt, the child also asked about this. Gao Fujun said he knew nothing. He tried whether it was Li Zhen. Gao Fujun warned him to not talk nonsense about things without evidence. It can be seen that he was a little unhappy."

Li Dan smiled, "It's understandable that he still protects Li Zhen very much and knows that the consequences of shooting Yang Pei are very serious."

Li Dan stopped asking more questions, waved his hand and smiled, "You go back first, I will ask you if there is anything."

"yes"

Li Chengqi slowly stepped back with his hands down. Princess Taiping felt a little uncomfortable. Li Chengqi obviously had some words that had not been finished, but her brother didn't want to say more, but she could understand. If she hadn't received the news secretly, how could she know that her brother had sent someone to Fangzhou? At least her brother would never tell her.

Thinking of this, Princess Taiping didn't want to ask any more questions, so she smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about using Li Zhen to shoot Yang Pei to attack Shangguan Wan'er?"

Li Dan shook his head, "Li Zhen has been kind to me, I don't want to make a fuss about this."

He looked at Princess Taiping again with vigilance, "Can you plan to-"

Princess Taiping also laughed, "Actually, I knew that Li Zhen would never be willing to be the woman's lackey. From this incident, I can see that he is already laying another way for his future.

This is a good thing. This means that one day he will use it for me, so I will not use this to make things difficult for him. On the contrary, I will also help him."
