Chapter 1007 Entering the Palace

"Let those who are behind the scenes die. I will demolish your aristocratic families step by step, so that you will never have the possibility of turning back!" Li Xiu leaned in Cui Gan's ear and whispered his warning, then turned around and left. From today on, he will completely oppose the aristocratic families and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Cui Gan couldn't help but change his face. When he saw Li Xiu turning around, he seemed to want to keep him, but he stretched out his hand but still couldn't speak. In the end, all the words could only turn into a long sigh, and then turned around and returned home step by step. From behind, his back was already hunched, and his snow-white hair was flying in the morning breeze. Maybe he was indeed at the age of returning home to retire.

"Mr. Concubine, are we going to chase the princess now?" As soon as Li Xiu got on the horse, he saw a short and strong young man next to him asking Li Xiu. The young man was named Xiang Chongyang, and he was Xiang Shanzhi's youngest son. He looked 80% similar to Xiang Shanzhi. Because he was born on the Double Ninth Festival, he was named Chongyang. This time, Xiang Shanzhi asked him to lead a team to escort Li Xiu.

Li Xiu also pondered for a moment when he heard this. Before, he saw Princess Pingyang leading his troops into Chang'an with murderous intent, and he lost his calmness. However, after saying a few words to Cui Gan, he suddenly calmed down. At this time, he also analyzed the current situation and quickly shook his head and said, "If you don't look for it, we can't catch up with the princess at all. You can enter the palace with me. I want to see Your Majesty first!"

When they heard that Li Xiu was about to enter the palace, Xiang Chongyang and other young people in Wuzhizhuang were also excited. After all, they had never entered the palace as old as they were. In fact, let alone the palace, even the imperial city was not close to ordinary people. When Xiang Chongyang became sensible, his father resigned from his post and went home, so he had never entered the palace either.

At the same time, Li Shimin sat upright in Liangyi Hall with a gloomy face. Changsun Wuji next to him was also sitting upright, but neither of them spoke, which made the atmosphere in the hall a little dull.

Today, when Li Shimin was sleeping well, he was suddenly awakened by the noise in the palace. Someone immediately reported to him that the fire broke out of the bookmarks was on fire, which made Li Shimin completely sleepless. He was about to send someone to invite Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji to the palace to discuss matters. Although the reason for the fire broke out of the bookmarks has not been found, Li Shimin's intuition told him that the fire broke out was definitely not that simple.

Changsun Wuji's mansion was right next to the imperial city, so he arrived soon, but Li Xiu lived outside the city. Li Shimin knew about this, so at first he discussed things with Changsun Wuji while waiting, but it was dawn, but Li Xiu still didn't come. Not only did Li Xiu not come, but even the guards who went to summon Li Xiu to the palace did not come back, which made them gradually become a little anxious. Of course, Li Shimin would never dream of the guards he sent to invite Li Xiu to die at the hands of a group of men in black outside the city, and even Li Xiu almost suffered an accident.

"Wuji, why haven't Li Xiu come yet?" At this time, Li Shimin finally got impatient and asked Changsun Wuji that they had something to say just now, but now they have finished talking, and they want to discuss things but lack Li Xiu, so Li Shimin was also very annoyed.

"This... maybe something was delayed on the road, right?" Changsun Wuji said hesitantly at this time. He kept counting the time. In fact, even if Li Xiu lived outside the city, it should be here, so why is there still no news?

"Report~" But at this moment, an eunuch suddenly rushed over and reported loudly, "Report to Your Majesty, the guard of Mingde Gate sent someone to report. One hour ago, Princess Pingyang led her troops to rush into the city gate and stormed into the city. Now she is unknown!"

Although General Song, who was guarding the city, followed Li Xiu's advice and still opened the city gate as usual, the incident of Princess Pingyang leading his troops to break through the gate was too serious, so he did not dare to hide it. So after Li Xiu left, he immediately sent someone to report to Li Shimin.

"What?" Hearing this news, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji stood up almost in shock. Even though they were used to the big storms, they were still frightened by the news.

"How is this possible? The princess has not brought troops for a long time, and there are only about two thousand guards left by her. How can she lead troops to attack the city gate?" But soon Changsun Wuji reacted and asked the eunuch who reported the news with a serious look on his face.

"I have also asked the people sent by General Song. The other party swears that he has seen Princess Pingyang lead his troops into the city with his own eyes. Then the prince-in-law also rushed to the city gate and told General Song to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside to strengthen his vigilance, and then he went to chase the princess. The situation is still unclear now!" The eunuch who reported the news reported again. When he first heard the news, he doubted the authenticity of the news. It was not until the person who reported the news promised that he believed it a little.

"No wonder Li Xiu never came. He actually went to chase his third sister, but why did the third sister lead his troops into the city?" Li Shimin couldn't help but mutter to himself when he heard the eunuch's words, and his brows frowned even deeper.

"Report~" At this moment, another eunuch suddenly rushed over panting and entered the hall and immediately reported the report, "Report to Your Majesty, the Jinwu Guard sent someone to report, saying yes... said yes..."

When the eunuch who reported the news said this, he didn't know whether it was because he ran too fast and couldn't breathe, or because the things that followed were too shocked and he didn't dare to say it. As a result, he stuttered for a long time and couldn't say it anyway.

"What did you say?" Li Shimin was anxious at this time. Seeing the eunuch hesitant, he couldn't help but slapped the desk.

Seeing Li Shimin getting angry, the second eunuch who reported the news was so scared that his whole body shivered. Then he reported loudly: "It was Princess Pingyang who led his troops into the mansion of Cui Gan, the Minister of the Huangmen, and rushed for a while before immediately withdrew. Then he rushed into the mansion of Zheng Zhong, the Minister of Personnel. The Jinwu Guard did not dare to intercept him at all. He came to report and asked His Majesty to decide!"

"Did the third sister break into Cui Gan and Zheng Zhong's mansion?" Li Shimin couldn't help but show an even more incredible expression when he heard this. No matter what, he didn't expect that Princess Pingyang led his troops into the city to make it difficult for him to get along with Cui Gan and others?

"Cui Gan, Zheng Zhong, a family!" Changsun Wuji whispered a few times at this time, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found the connection. Especially today, the Bookmark Office suddenly caught fire, and the Bookmark Office was built to deal with the family. In this way, the whole situation seemed to be clear.

"Your Majesty, Duke Yan is asking for a visit!" At this moment, another eunuch came to report.
