Chapter 442 Confirmation
Li Lijun left after leaving behind a shocking news. Li Jianrang, who chased after her to find out the truth, dealt with it without much effort, but she did not forget how to deal with the aftermath.
She really didn't know what the person who accepted Yang Guozhong's order planned to do to Li Dai. When she saw Yang Guozhong last night, he looked sick. She didn't know if he still remembered that he had given this order. However, Li Lijun had
This kind of person has no trust at all. Seeing that Li Dai is obsessed with being stupid, he can only use Yang Guozhong's name to pour cold water on his stupid father.
Soon it will be the twelfth year of Tianbao. Once Li Linfu dies, the government will only become more corrupt. Isn't it just asking for death to show up as a high-ranking official at this time? Li Dai has neither the ability nor the saintly family, and some of them are just those who don't know where they came from.
Blind confidence and stupidity really allowed him to rise to power, which would only harm others and himself.
Li Lijun didn't wait until dark, so he sent two small paper figures to the front yard, found the horse that his father Li Dai usually rode, and quietly did some tricks.
Not long after her little paper figurine left, Princess Pei sent her confidants to the front yard to question the servants who usually went out with Li Dai. They asked about all the details of Li Dai's daily outings, and also checked the car that Li Dai often used.
Then, as expected, he found that the saddle had been tampered with. Maybe one day when Li Dai was riding out, he would be unlucky enough to be thrown to the ground by the horse and break his leg.
Princess Pei's confidants looked at what they found, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly asked the groom. The groom couldn't remember when such a thing was added to the saddle, but he knew very well that it was definitely not there when Li Dai went out yesterday.
Li Dai went out on horseback yesterday, and there was nothing unusual at that time. However, because he was drunk, he was brought back by another family's car in the evening. The horse was brought back by his entourage, and no one rode it. The entourage took the saddle away and brought it back.
The horse was handed over to the groom. Because it was getting late, no one checked the saddle carefully at that time.
Looking back now, the time when the saddle was taken was probably during the banquet between Li Dai and others. At that time, people came and went, and Li Dai's entourage were also entertained and enjoyed the food and wine. Although they stayed for most of the time
There were people standing by the horses and cars, but no one dared to guarantee that those who stayed behind really never left.
The eyes of those who stayed behind all flickered, and they did not dare to look directly at the person who asked.
After receiving the confession, Princess Pei took a deep breath and then felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
Her confidants quickly helped her sit down to rest, and called the doctor stationed in the palace to diagnose her pulse. After taking the anti-fetal pills, her complexion softened.
Zheng Yuchai looked pale as she watched. It was not until her mother's condition improved that she breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to her: "Mom, don't worry. Didn't King Sui escape the disaster? Just let people check things carefully in the future.
If the servants hadn't neglected their duties, others wouldn't have been able to take advantage of it."
Princess Pei smiled bitterly: "Silly girl, if outsiders really want to plot against the heir, it's useless no matter how careful we are." She thought for a while, "We can't hide this from the heir. No matter how much we give him, it's not as good as the more he does on his own.
It is useful to be careful. Otherwise, we will block the hand that others are extending, what if he is easily coaxed into leaving his entourage and becomes alone?"
Zheng Yuchai lowered her head and said softly: "Auntie, why did you marry this person? Although King Sui and Princess Dou are very kind to you, much better than your grandfather and grandmother, this person... is far worse than Aye
Oh! He doesn’t care about your life or death at all!"
Princess Pei smiled faintly. Men can't compare like this. Before she got married, she knew what her husband was like. As long as he was willing to give her the dignity of a royal concubine, not stop her from doing what she wanted to do, and not bully her.
child, then everything he did was not excessive. It was the price she should pay for seeking this marriage. It was a little embarrassing, so she could bear it and get over it.
And Zheng Qilang... no matter how gentle, knowledgeable, and considerate he was... he could not compete with the harm done to her by years of deception. It took her more than ten years to realize that she had fallen in love with the wrong person, and the pain in her heart was unbearable.
To put it bluntly, I would really rather marry a fool from the beginning!
Princess Pei coaxed her daughter for a few words, and when she saw her eldest son Zheng Wen and Li Jianrang coming hand in hand, she hurriedly told them the situation she had just grasped.
Li Jianrang turned pale when he heard this, and immediately ran to tell his grandfather, King Sui. King Sui did not dare to be careless, so he quickly called his eldest son Li Dai and his eldest daughter-in-law, Princess Pei, to question him, and ordered his confidants to interrogate his son's followers.
There was a problem in this trial. Someone reported that one of Li Dai's followers had owed a huge amount of gambling money. Last month, he suddenly had the money to pay off the foreign debt and buy jewelry for his good friend. He must have been bribed by someone.
!
By the time the guards brought the entourage to King Sui, he was shaking like a quail and confessed honestly: Someone indeed wanted to bribe him with money to interfere with the successor king Li Dai, but he refused.
Track the other party, find out the other party's identity, and in turn threaten them.
In the end, he got the deposit but did nothing, and the other party had no further information. Because participating in gambling violated the regulations of the Sui Palace, he did not dare to mention it to the owner. He did not expect that someone would report it now. But today Li Dai's saddle
Whatever happened, it had absolutely nothing to do with him!
He cried and knelt down desperately to beg for mercy, but Li Dai angrily ordered his men to drag him down. Although he did not admit that he had tampered with the saddle, he confirmed that someone under Yang Guozhong did want to do harm to Li Dai. That person did something to Li Dai.
I have always been very affectionate, and I also attended the banquet yesterday. I didn't expect that there would be hidden evil intentions.
Li Dai originally had great trust in the people who usually had banquets with him. Now that he knew the truth, he didn't think it had anything to do with Yang Guozhong. Instead, he felt that the man had some conspiracy to harm him.
He still feels that he is the favorite among the phase candidates, and it is very reasonable for others to plot against him in order to compete for the phase.
He was very angry about this: "I want to tell Yang Zhongcheng about this, so that he will never trust that vicious villain again! He has no ability to win me openly, and he even used such insidious means that are unworthy of the table!"
For a moment, the Sui Prince and his wife, Princess Pei and Li Jianrang were all shocked and dumbfounded by Li Dai's brazen confidence.
Li Dai was unaware of this, and said to his wife: "Come with me to the palace tomorrow and tell the saint and the imperial concubine about this matter. I am the saint's nephew, and someone dares to secretly kill me.
, the saints will not tolerate such lawless people!"
Princess Pei subconsciously covered her abdomen, and said with a pale face, "King Si, it's better not to go out for the time being. The person who plotted against you is hiding in the dark, and I don't know if he will attack you again. In order to
For your safety..."
"Is it possible that I have to hide at home and not go out to meet people?!" Li Dai interrupted her, "Stop talking nonsense! I want to be the prime minister of a country, how can I be intimidated by a few insidious villains?!"
Princess Pei pursed her lips and did not continue speaking. Li Jianrang couldn't stand it and interrupted: "Aye, because my stepmother heard the news that you were almost assassinated today, she had a fetal infection, so it's better to rest. Anyway,
We can’t let our stepmother run around while pregnant, what if she gets sick from exhaustion?”
Li Dai was a little disapproving after hearing this. King Sui made the decision first: "Ah Jian said well, your wife is pregnant with a child, so let her have a baby in the palace, and why are you going to the palace if you have nothing to do?! You
Don’t just go out and drink and have sex with people all day long.
Le, what are you talking about asking someone to recommend you as prime minister? You have only served as governor for two years, and you are not ready yet. How can you have the nerve to say that you want to be prime minister?! If you continue to act nonsense, my father will go to the palace to see the saint and let the saint make arrangements for you.
It’s a sinecure to save you from daydreaming all day long!”
Li Dai's eyes were filled with shock, anger and resentment, and he reluctantly closed his mouth.
