Chapter 783: Filial Son Li Dan Prays His Mother to Heaven

"Mother!"

"You probably can't imagine it, but the counterattack of our Li clan descendants has truly begun at this moment!"

"Your son, Li Dan, is in Fangzhou, begging your mother to return to heaven!"

"Even if I don't piss you off to death this time, you won't have many years left to live!"

Blood slowly flowed from the corner of Li Dan's mouth.

But he still had a smile on his face.

The son of Emperor Gaozong, who had been a puppet emperor for several years, at this moment, like his brother Crown Prince Li Xian, demonstrated the majesty that an emperor should have.

Throughout history, there are absolutely few people who can become emperors who are useless.

The same goes for him, he is definitely not a waste.

He watched Li Longji fall down from the poison, his body twitching for a while, and then he died in front of him.

"Royal brother, I only have my eldest son Li Xian left."

"We hope you won't disappoint us!"

August 27th, the first year of Long Live Tongtian!

The crown prince Li Dan, Prince of Xiang, was brutally poisoned by the people sent by Emperor Wu Yizong, Prince of Henei. Among the 532 people in the palace, only Li Dan's eldest son, Li Xian, Prince of Shouchun, survived because he was not at home!

The governor of Fangzhou led the yamen runners and the messenger to the scene, only to see 532 bodies lying in the Prince of Xiang's mansion.

From then on, the lineage of Prince Xiang was almost extinct!

This news could not be concealed no matter what, so the Fangzhou governor Ding Tong resolutely sent someone to deliver the news to the capital.

In the capital city of Luoyang, the emperor had to stay up late at night. He sat in his study, ate some cakes and drank some calming medicine before he prepared to rest.

But before she could stand up, Shangguan Wan'er came in with Li Cunxi, Wu Chengsi, Wu Yanhao and Huang Shengyan.

"It seems that this case has already made some progress."

Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt that the combination of Li Cunxi and the Wu father and son was simply invincible.

"Your Majesty," Li Cunxi said, bowing. "Your Majesty, we have now determined that the invaders' purpose was to rescue Wu Sansi, Prince of Liang. They deliberately started the fire to conceal their true purpose of rescuing Wu Sansi, Prince of Liang."

"Then were these people responsible for the breach of Changchun Gate?"

"That's probably the case. Changchun Gate is closest to the Inner Guard House. After rescuing Liang Wang Wu Sansi, these people headed straight for Changchun Gate and then left without a care in the world. Finding them now would be quite difficult."

Wu Zetian slammed her palm, furious. "Sansi's actions suggest he's the one colluding with the five Turkic tribes and attempting to ally with the Khitan. You've stumbled upon the right path, arresting him, and he's actually jumping out to seek death on his own initiative."

"Your Majesty, the only solution now is to issue a warrant for his capture and search everywhere."

"This traitor will surely die a miserable death. If I catch him, I will skin him alive and tear out his tendons!"

Wu Zetian thought she treated Wu Sansi well, but she never imagined that her nephew was collaborating with the enemy.

You know, Wu Sansi was just an average person, but he was ranked as the right prime minister of Wenchang, and his actual power was second only to Wu Chengsi. The power he possessed was beyond the reach of Li Cunxi, but he actually rebelled!

"Wan'er, pass on my order to issue a warrant for his arrest. Also, have the Right Guards and Left Guards blockade the Luozhou area. If they see Wu Sansi, kill him."

Wu Zetian became anxious.

Therefore, she did not think that it was too late to send the army to blockade the Luozhou area now.

Logically speaking, it had been nearly half an hour since those people broke into the gate. If they were riding horses, they would have run even faster.

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to pass on the order."

As the chief of Lintai, Shangguan Wan'er certainly couldn't ride out on horseback in the middle of the night. She went out and instructed the Qianniu Guards on duty, and her work was done.

"Furthermore, Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are still accomplices of His Royal Highness Prince Liang in the city."

"It's just that it's hard for us to guess which prince it is."

Li Cunxi secretly added fuel to the fire.

As expected, Wu Zetian became even angrier and shouted, "Since you don't know who it is, then arrest all the suspects!"

This was what the four of them had been waiting for. Wu Chengsi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an order to arrest Wu Youji, Wu Youning, Wu Yizong, and Wu Sizong. Do not release them until this case is concluded."

Wu Zetian seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water. She raised her eyelids and asked, "What did you say?"

"These people all have problems. They all hold military power and may cause chaos." Wu Chengsi explained patiently.

Faced with this answer, Wu Zetian felt that there was no problem, but she still did not plan to do so.

If the military power of these nephews was taken away, it would be easy for other people in Luoyang City to usurp her position.

If the descendants of the Li family took advantage of this critical opportunity to push her off the throne, her reign as emperor would have been in vain.

She absolutely could not allow the balance under her command to be broken so completely.

"That's unacceptable. Three great generals and a third-rank official. If they were all captured together, the government would definitely be in turmoil!"

"Let me put it this way. If you really find evidence of their rebellion, I will send people to arrest them all."

It's reasonable to think that the ending would be like this.

The four of them took their leave and left Taichu Palace, where they were about to part ways. The Inner Guard Palace was burned to ruins, and Huang Shengyan had to go back to take charge of the situation.

Li Cunxi, Wu Chengsi and Wu Yanhao had to go back home to have a good rest.

After sending Wu Chengsi and Wu Yanhao back to Wei Mansion, it was already late, so Li Cunxi asked Ma Rong to hurry back to Qin Palace.

It was already midnight when they arrived at the Prince of Qin's Mansion. They asked the servants to prepare some food and bring it over. Li Cunxi and Ma Rong ate a little and then went back to rest.

The small courtyard where Li Cunxi lives is in the third courtyard, next to which is the small courtyard of Li Wenzhong and his wife. At this moment, lights are still on in both courtyards. At this time, Li Wenzhong and Li Hui have not rested yet, so there is no need to imagine what they can do.

Therefore, Li Cunxi turned back to his own small courtyard and pushed open the door of the house.

In the house, Xiao Mei was sitting at the table. The teapot in front of her was almost empty. She held her cheek with her hands and closed her eyes, sleepiness lingering in her mind.

"Ma'am, are you waiting for me?"

Li Cunxi chuckled, moved over and hugged Xiao Mei who had opened her eyes.

"You're back, Cunxi." Xiao Mei rubbed her eyes. "I saw you weren't back, and a lot of things happened outside, so I didn't dare to sleep."

"What happened outside?"

"I heard from the servants that Changchun Gate was breached and the Inner Guard House was burned down."

"The news is quite accurate. Was it that old man Xuguzi who said it?"

"Well, he climbed onto the roof and looked around, and that's when he confirmed that the incident happened in these two places."

"Take your time, madam. My husband is full of energy today. Let's talk in bed."

Li Cunxi picked up Xiao Mei and threw her on the bed. After undressing, he blew out the light. Soon, a weak sound was heard.
