Liu Fengting quickly came to the outer hall, and Li Xun was pacing back and forth anxiously in the outer hall. He got his brother Li Cui died last night, but this morning he realized that Li Feng was also dead, which made Li Xun particularly nervous. He didn't even go to the court in the morning, but he kept squatting in Xingqing Palace and making various emergency deployments.

Although Li Xun was trusted by his father, he was not a legitimate son after all. After all, he lived abroad for a long time and was reused for too short. He had no power in Xingqing Palace. His only reliance was Liu Fengting, but he could not command the army of Xingqing Palace. In this case, his father Li Chengqi was his only support. Now his father is in poor health. Of course, he dare not tell his father about Baoningfang, for fear of irritating his father.

Li Xun could only temporarily block the news and once his father's health improved, he would tell him the truth. Now the most urgent task is to seize power and get the seal and military talisman. At least he can exercise the power of the regent in the court.

At this time, Liu Fengting hurriedly walked out, and Li Xun hurriedly came forward, "Mr. Liu, what did she say?"

Liu Fengting smiled wryly and said, "The princess promised to help conceal the news, but she was determined not to hand over the seal to His Highness. She said that unless the Regent's personal arrangement was made to her!"

Li Xun immediately said angrily: "Why is she so confused and doesn't know the overall situation at all? Now, who can protect the interests of the Regent except me?"

Liu Fengting snorted coldly, "She is not confused, she is smart! Li Feng is dead, and Li Lin is still there. Doesn't your highness understand her thoughts?"

"Li Lin only knows how to practice Taoism and alchemy. She has no ability. Forget it, I can't be too anxious. I'll go to the court first and listen to the news. You must find a way to get the sealing talisman as soon as possible!"

Li Xun left in a hurry, and Liu Fengting was in a dilemma. How could he get the seal talisman? After thinking about it, he could only steal it.

Liu Fengting was secretly upset. He had known that he wouldn't have asked the princess to seal the talisman. Now he reminded her that it would not be easy to steal.

In the imperial study of Xingqing Palace, the eldest son of Sun Nanhao bowed to salute, "I am here to see Your Majesty!"

Li Longji smiled and said, "I haven't seen the general for several years. How are the general in good health?"

"For your Majesty, I am in good health."

Li Longji nodded and asked, "The General has heard about Baoningfang yesterday!"

Of course, Changsun Nanhao knew about Baoningfang, but he didn't expect the emperor to ask him so quickly. He was a little nervous. After all, Yang Rong, the murderer who shot Li Feng, was his man. Once it was found out, the Changsun family would be unable to take it. Now that he got on Li Xiu's pirate ship, he could only deal with it with it.

"I heard about it!"

Li Longji sighed, "This time, the Prince of Hanzhong, Li Mao, caused a big disaster. I am very sad and regretful. If I had known that I would continue to let Thirty-Balang do things, this would not have happened. I wonder if Thirty-Balang has any contact with the Changsun family these days?"

Changsun Nanhao knew that he was on the sidelines. The emperor really wanted to understand the role played by Li Xiu in this matter through himself. Changsun Nanhao shook his head, "Since Eunuch Gao and Li Mao came to Changsun Mansion, Weichen has never seen Li Xiu again. He no longer cared about this matter. Yesterday, my eldest son also participated in his wedding. If there is any connection, it would be that Thirty-Balang sent a wedding card here."

"So, Li Mao has been in contact with Changsun Mansion?"

"Yes, he wants news about Li Feng's illegitimate son. To be honest, we really don't know and cannot provide it to him, but Wei Chen's eldest son advised him the day before yesterday."

"What are you trying to persuade him?"

"I advise him not to focus on things like illegitimate children. After all, it will not be on the surface. The Regent will not allow such a scandal to exist. He will crack it as long as he says something, and it will be meaningless to investigate it. But Li Mao refused to listen, and scolded the eldest son severely and left."

Changsun Nanhao completely covered up for Li Xiu, and also implied that Li Longji, Li Mao's arrogance and ignorance were the main causes of yesterday's tragedy.

"I understand. In addition, I want to ask, what do you think of Li Lin?"

"Li Lin is indifferent to fame and fortune by nature and likes Huang-Lao's skills, but he is very smart and generous."

"I am considering that since Li Feng has passed away, should Li Lin take over and take over as the regent prince? This is my idea. Changsun Aiqing would be better off talking to Princess Changsun and listen to her opinions."

Changsun Nanhao understood that the emperor did not want Li Xun to take office and supported Li Lin as the regent prince, allowing him to convey this message to the princess.

"I will communicate with the princess immediately!"

............

In the afternoon, a large group of officials appeared in Baoningfang. The martial law was completely strict in Baoningfang. One thousand Jinwu Guard soldiers took three steps and one post and five steps. It is strictly forbidden for ordinary people to go out to the streets.

Although the county magistrate Cui Chang has written a preliminary report, the nature of this matter is too serious and cannot be calmed down by a county magistrate report. Li Longji not only needs to give the regent an explanation, but also needs to give the court an explanation.

As one of the two saints of the Tang Dynasty, the regent was assassinated. In any case, it was a major event that shakes the Tang Dynasty. It cannot be passed by just an understatement of a report.

This joint investigation is also called the Trial of the Grand Third Department, which consists of the Censor Zhongcheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Minister of Justice. However, Xue Hong, the Minister of Justice, went to Luoyang on a business trip, and the Ministry of Justice was represented by the Ministry of Justice.

The lead censor Central Chief Li Sheng, together with his old friend Li Ji, and Feng Qian, the young minister who is known as the Hawkeye of Dali Temple, can be regarded as a strong alliance.

They walked into the large courtyard of another house, and the blood on the ground was clearly visible. County magistrate Zhang Shutong pointed to the blood on the ground and said to everyone: "Dear envoys, this is the place where the prince was killed. His guards were hit by twenty-one arrows and blocked the prince. The prince only got seven arrows, six of which were not fatal injuries. The fatal injury was a poisonous arrow in his throat. We interrogated last night and this poisonous arrow should have been shot by their leader Yang Rong."

"Have you caught this Yang Rong?" Li Sheng asked.

"No, she ran away. She realized that she had caused a big disaster and escaped while the person was unprepared."

"Is she a woman?"

"That's right, it is said that she is the female leader of the Maitreya Ghost Mother Warrior. Not long ago, Li Mao recruited warriors. She came to apply for the recruitment and was entrusted with respect. She looked very charming and was attracted by Li Mao."

Li Sheng looked back at Li Ji, "Have you heard of her in Yangzhou?"

Li Ji nodded, "I heard of it, but I have never dealt with it. It is said that she has thirty female warriors under her, who are very good at water and like to commit crimes naked. She is called the Huaihe Ghost Mother. Li Mao probably likes this tune too!"

Li Sheng immediately ordered: "Send the order and try your best to arrest this Yang Rong!"

"Li Zhongcheng thinks she has a problem?"

"After all, she is the direct murderer of assassinating the prince. Since she is not dead, she should be wanted."

"That's right!"

At this time, Feng Qian, the young minister of Dali Temple, walked out of the room and frowned and said, "It's a little strange!"

"What's going on?"

"I don't understand why I have to kill them since I have come to arrest them as evidence of hostage?"

"Maybe Li Feng is here to kill them and directly eliminate the evidence!"

Feng Qian shook his head, "It's impossible. The interrogation record says that only Li Feng and his guards were shot and killed when they entered the yard. They didn't see the woman and the child. Besides, how could Li Feng come to kill his woman and the child in person?"

Li Ji pondered for a moment and said, "It is also possible that he will kill Hongyan in the end. These warriors are all robbers and murderers. After killing Hongyan, they will not care about their mission."

An official said: "There is another possibility that when Li Feng dies, the mother and son lose their meaning, and if it is useless, they simply kill them."

Li Sheng nodded, "Don't rush to draw conclusions now, and look for details after the comprehensive investigation is over."

...........

An eunuch hurried into the harem, and Liu Fengting suddenly appeared in front of him and asked coldly: "What are you going to do outside the palace?"

"The villain wants to buy something!"

"What do you want to buy? Don't you have it in the palace?"

"The villain wants to buy a pair of shoes, but the shoes that the palace match really don't fit!"

Liu Fengting did not listen to his long-winded words and ordered: "Search it carefully!"

Several eunuchs came up to press the man down and searched carefully from head to toe, without even letting go of their hair. They stood up and shook their heads at Liu Fengting.

Liu Fengting glared at him fiercely, "I warn you that this is an extraordinary time. If I see you leaving the palace at will, you will not want to live."

"The villain understands, the villain will never dare again next time!"

"Get out!"

The eunuch rolled and crawled.

The eunuch was named Sun Xiaowei, who was the eunuch who served the princess, so as soon as he left the palace, someone immediately reported it to Liu Fengting.

"See the princess!"

Seeing that he was not dressed in a well-dressed manner, his hair was disheveled, and he was surprised and said, "How could you do this?"

"I was caught by Liu Fengting just now and I searched!"

"Are any letters being searched?"

"Don't worry, the general told me the oral message."

"Tell me, what did my brother say?"

"The general said that Li Feng was gone, and the emperor supported Li Lin's succession. In addition, the general said that the talisman should be collected well in any way, and must not be obtained by Liu Fengting and Li Xun."
