In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was losing his temper again. He had just overturned a case. He was weak and was still breathing. "Who would believe Hou Ruoyi was seriously ill? It must be Li Ke's hands and feet. He just didn't want to let alone touch his woman."

"Your Highness, please be careful. Before Hou Ruoyi was infected with a serious illness, we have no evidence to frame anyone before the cause was found." The young tutor Zhang Xuansu advised, "Wu Ruoyi and the King of Han used to have some connection, but since the emperor issued an order to betroth her to the prince, the two have never met again. Your Highness cannot make any mistakes and speculations to others."

"What are you talking about? Gu doesn't believe that Hou Ruoyi will not get sick early or late, and he will be seriously ill when he goes to Binzhou. Don't she know that half a month will be the day of Gu and her wedding?" Li Chengqian said with a gloomy face, "Trial tutor, do you think Gu will write a letter to his father to explain the whole story of this matter and treat the crime of a King of Han's plot against a brother and sister-in-law?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince--" Zhang Xuansu wanted to say something, but saw Kong Yingda, the right concubine, shook his head and retreated.

Li Chengqian was already very disdainful of Grand Tutor Li Gang and Grand Tutor Zhang Xuansu. Now he saw that he stepped down and ignored him and continued to ask Wang Renbiao and Cui Zhiji around him, "How do you think Gu should treat this? Do you really want Gu to marry Su Juan, the daughter of Su Dan?"

"Your Highness, the imperial edict has been issued. Hou Ruoyi just can't become the princess. Sooner or later, she will marry the prince and you will be the concubine. Why should the prince be worried about this?" Wang Renbiao said, "The one who is troubled now should be the King of Han. How would he feel if his woman wants to marry her brother?"

"Yes...yes, you're right. Gu was just angry and was a little confused. After you said this, Gu felt that Li Ke should be the one who was troubled now." Li Chengqian smiled proudly, "He was favored in front of his father and stepped on me, the prince, and suffered humiliation. But he didn't expect that one day I would press his woman under him. Haha..." Li Chengqian laughed wildly after saying that. Cui Zhiji and Wang Renbiao were also the same around him.

With his flattering face in line with his expression, Zhang Xuansu looked at Cui Zhiji and Wang Renbiao in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he had no choice. Although he was the prince's tutor, he was responsible for teaching and supervising the prince's studies and life. However, there were two more villains around the prince who pleased him and were favored by him, so how could he teach him? Everyone on duty in the East Palace in the side hall of the main hall shook his head silently.

Li Tai from the Wei Palace finished painting a flower and bird painting in the study, and then took the brocade handkerchief handed to him by Sima Suxu, "Be careful, do you think my painting skills have improved?"

"Your Highness, the gentle minister is stupid and does not know much about painting. I just found that the crucian cuckoo painted on the paper was like a living person. I was envious." Su Xu said with a smile.

"Is there any news from the palace today?" Li Tai wiped his hand and handed the brocade parison to Su Xu and asked.

"No news has been heard yet, but your highness is relieved. If there is any movement in the palace, your teacher, Dr. Wang and Minister Wen, will definitely come to the mansion to tell you as soon as possible." Su Xu said.

"Yeah." Li Tai sighed, "I understand that the teacher and Minister Wen will inform me as soon as possible, but this person will think of a lot of things when he is free, and will become more and more concerned about what he wants."

Li Tai and Su Xu were chatting in the study, and they heard the guards outside the door report, "Your Highness, the counselor Wang Gui and the minister Wen Yanbo were asking for a meeting outside the door."

"Be careful, please invite them to the study." Li Tai said to Su Xu.

Soon, two more people were added to Li Tai's study, namely Li Tai's teacher counselor Wang Gui and Li Tai's confidant Secretary Wen Yanbo. The two bowed to Li Tai, but Li Tai stopped them. The two did not refuse and bowed and sat on the chair in front of them.

"Teacher, there is new news in the palace today?" Li Tai asked impatiently after Wang Gui and Wen Yanbo sat down.

Wang Gui and Wen Yanbo looked at each other, and Wang Gui took the lead in telling Li Tai the problems discussed and solutions discussed by Liangyi Palace to Li Tai. Li Tai listened very carefully, and kept nodding when he heard Li Shimin's order to solve the problem. Wang Gui spoke very carefully, Li Tai listened very seriously. It took a while before Wang Gui told Li Tai the results of the discussion of Liangyi Palace.

"Have the teacher and Dalin heard about Changsun Huan's murder case?" Li Tai asked suddenly.

"There is a lot of controversy in Chang'an City, and I have heard of it." Wang Gui said.

"Well, I have also heard of this case. The Chang'an County Government completed the case in just one day, which is so fast." Wen Yanbo sighed.

"Changsun Huan's exile in Lingnan is a little bit of a problem. The unbearable things he did at Juhua Building have a great impact on my uncle." Li Tai smiled, "He didn't expect that his reputation would be ruined by his son. It's really ridiculous."

"What does Your Highness mean?" Wang Gui asked. He understood Li Tai. He would not mention this matter as a pastime.

Li Tai glanced at Wen Yanbo and said, "Just as Dalin said just now, Changsun Huan's murder case can be solved in one day, and I don't even have time to overturn the case, don't you think it's strange?"

After Li Tai finished speaking, Wang Gui showed a clear expression on his face, "Your Highness's meaning is understood. No wonder Changsun Wuji did not mention the case about Changsun Huan when he was in the Ministry of Justice today. It turned out that he was helpless and had no chance to overturn the case."

"The Ministry of Justice has no objection to the case, and Changsun Wuji has no ability to overturn the case. It can be seen that Deng Tongda, the Chang'an County Department, is not simple." Wen Yanbo sighed, "It's a pity that such a talent fell into the hands of the King of Han."

"Da Lin is right. Deng Tongda was able to handle the case so neatly because he was the King of Han. My uncle was helpless about this case because Chang'an County Yai is the strength of Han Wang. Changsun Huan had all the evidence and evidence of murder. This is an iron case. If it is placed in the hands of others, it will not be a problem to overturn the case with my uncle's ability. But the key is that Changsun Huan fell into the hands of the King of Han." Li Tai said, "So, today I am thinking that although the Chang'an County Yai is small in power, he is in charge of the criminal prison theft in the capital. We still ignore the importance of this place."

"What does it mean to Your Highness?" Wen Yanbo asked.

"Di Zhixun made contributions to the mission to Mobei. After returning to Beijing, he would not stay in the position of Chang'an County Magistrate. I think we can win this position at that time." Li Tai thought that Li Ke had used the strength of Chang'an County Yamen to curse Changsun Wuji, so through Changsun Huan, he attached great importance to Chang'an County Yamen. However, he could not have thought that Li Ke could not make Changsun Wuji unable to fight back because the power of Chang'an County Yamen was in his hands, but another reason.

"What Your Highness said is that at that time, the Wei ministers and the people who support His Highness in the Grand Representative Conference will definitely find a way to take this position." Through Li Tai's analysis, Wang Gui also felt that the position of Chang'an County Government is very important for Li Tai's struggle for the throne, so he would have such a positive guarantee, meaning that he would not let go easily at all costs.

Li Tai was very satisfied with Wang Gui's answer, and the four of them discussed the prince's wedding and the Western Turkic proposal in the study. These things have nothing to do with him. He was not so stupid that he talked about the prince's wedding. So, Wang Gui and Wen Yanbo hurriedly left the Wei Wang Mansion after chatting for a while.

In the Qi Palace, Li You lived a bad life. The prince married Hou Junji's daughter. How could he not know who Hou Junji was? Therefore, he was also very jealous of Li Chengqian. Li Tai was a legitimate son, good at literary talent, and was deeply loved by his father. He felt inferior to himself. Not to mention Li Ke, he was simply the most proud son in the eyes of his father. The rest was himself. He was not as good as Li Ke, and his literary talent was not as good as Li Tai, and he did not have a powerful uncle like Li Chengqian. Therefore, when he heard the news from the palace, he did not show curiosity, but just said a faint "oh" and did not speak. No one knew why the prince suddenly remained silent.

In the Han Palace, Li Ke first heard about Suzhou. The people of Suzhou were able to return to Tang safely, so he felt a lot of comfort. When he knew that Suzhou was robbed and did not report it, his guilt was reduced a lot. At the same time, when he received the news that the Western Turks gave the Tang Dynasty was robbed by the Turk Jie Li Khan and the East and West Turks were tense, he carefully analyzed and understood a question that had always puzzled him.

At the beginning, when he and Di Zhixun went on an envoy to negotiate with the Turks, the negotiations in Jie Li's tent went smoothly, which surprised him. He was very confused at the time and did not understand why Jie Li reached the terms of peace talks with him so easily. Now, through the news from Mobei, Li Ke finally understood what he was confused about, that is, when he negotiated with Jie Li, he had already received news of the Western Turks' proposal to marry the Tang Dynasty. He considered that if the Tang Dynasty refused to negotiate with the Turks, if the Western Turks joined the ranks of attacking him because of the proposal to marry the Queen, he would definitely ignore it. Jie Li might have agreed to Li Ke's request so painfully because of such concerns.

When Li Ke thought of this, he suddenly thought of another question, that is, the personal guards of Jie Li Khan who met in Su Dingfang in the north of the desert were not here to intercept him. Their purpose might be to hijack the dowry gifts given to the Tang Dynasty by the Western Turks, and to prevent the marriage between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty. In this way, it can be explained why Jie Li Khan did not get entangled after meeting Su Dingfang, because they had other purposes.

Thinking through his doubts, Li Ke showed a slight smile, but after his smile flashed like lightning, his face was still very sad.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was losing his temper again. He had just overturned a case. He was weak and was still breathing. "Who would believe Hou Ruoyi was seriously ill? It must be Li Ke's hands and feet. He just didn't want to let alone touch his woman."
