Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Since the death of Concubine Liu Gui, Li Yan seemed to have changed.

He no longer had the arrogance and arrogance of the past, and became cold and silent.

In order to find out the main messenger behind Zijuan, Li Yan tried all the methods he could think of, but still found nothing.

That person was hidden too deeply, Li Yan couldn't find out at all.

At the end of the road, Li Yan overheard someone talking about the second and fourth princes, and suddenly remembered what his mother and concubine said before she died.

She said that the people behind Zicuckoo were nothing more than those two——

Either the second prince or the fourth prince.

As for the motive, it is naturally to compete for the crown prince.

Li Yan looked down on the fourth prince very much.

It was precisely because of this contempt that he felt that the fourth prince could not do anything to murder him and Concubine Liu Gui.

After all, the fourth prince is so useless, as silent as a gourd with its mouth sawn off, even if he is bullied, he will not resist, he will just curl up into a ball with his head in his arms.

How could such a useless guy do such a thing as framing others?

Taking a step back, even if the fourth prince dared to attack others, how could he be sure that the crown prince would fall to him?

One must know that there is still a second prince standing in front of him!

Li Yan subconsciously felt that the second prince Li Hao was more suspicious.

Although Li Hao has a reckless personality, he has a strong physique, is good at riding and shooting, and has a concubine Xian who takes care of him carefully, so he is a strong opponent for the crown prince.

After the crown prince passed away, Li Hao and Li Yan were the ones who had the most voices, and privately the ministers in the court also believed that the next crown prince would be chosen from them.

In this way, the competition between the two of them is inevitable.

The more Li Yan thought about it, the more he felt that the second prince was suspicious, so he immediately pulled out a dagger and hid it in his sleeve.

He left the palace and went straight to the second prince's mansion.

He was going to ask Li Hao to find out.

If Li Hao really designed all of this, he will make Li Hao pay for it with blood!

Li Hao doesn't like reading, but loves martial arts.

Since he opened the mansion outside the palace, he has held martial arts competitions every now and then, inviting heroes from all walks of life to participate.

He will select some masters from the contestants, and let these masters stay in the mansion as guests and use them for him.

When Li Yan arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, he happened to meet with a martial arts tournament.

He pushed aside the onlookers who were in the way, and saw Li Hao sitting in the stands at a glance.

At this time Li Hao was watching the contestants on the stage compete, and when he saw the exciting part, he couldn't help standing up and applauding vigorously.

Li Yan limped towards the stands.

"Second brother!"

Li Hao was excited to see it, when he suddenly saw the Fifth Prince appearing, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Fifth brother, why are you here?"

Li Hao is a nervous person, and he didn't notice the fifth prince's abnormality.

After a brief moment of surprise, he smiled again and greeted warmly.

"You came just in time, come and sit down, today's game is very exciting!"

Li Yan looked at the other party's smile.

That smile was bright and clean, without a trace of haze.

You could tell he was in a good mood right now.

Li Yan said gloomyly.

"My mother and concubine just passed away, and you are holding the event here, and you are still smiling so much."

The smile on Li Hao's face froze, then he frowned and asked displeasedly.

"What do you mean by that? I'm sorry that your concubine mother is dead, but I can't live without your concubine mother, right?"

Li Yan stared into his eyes and asked: "Isn't it because you feel very happy to see my concubine mother die, that's why you smile so heartily?"

Li Hao couldn't help cursing.

"Are you sick? What does your concubine's death have to do with me? Don't rely on me for everything!"

Li Yan took a step forward, quickly took out his dagger, pointed the tip of the knife at Li Hao, and asked fiercely.

"Tell me honestly, did you frame me and my concubine mother? Was it you?"

Li Hao suddenly got up.

Due to too much movement, even the table in front of him was brought over.

The tea cup fruit plate was scattered all over the floor.

Everyone around looked over in unison.

When they saw the dagger in Li Yan's hand clearly, everyone's expressions changed drastically in fright.

Someone screamed in horror: "Killed! Killed!"

The guards of the second prince's mansion pulled out their sabers and gathered towards the second prince, trying to protect the safety of the second prince.

The competition on the stage was also forced to suspend.

Li Hao looked at the tip of the knife that was close at hand, and the anger in his heart rose up.

"You are really sick!"

After finishing speaking, he made a sudden move, grabbed Li Yan's wrist, and pressed down hard.

Li Yan felt the pain and subconsciously let go of his fingers.

The dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

Li Hao grabbed his shoulder with the other hand, raised his knee, and slammed into Li Yan's abdomen hard.

Li Yan bent down in pain and curled up into a ball.

The guard next to him immediately rushed forward and picked up the dagger on the ground, so as not to be picked up by the Fifth Prince again.

Even though the pain was excruciating, Li Yan still gritted his teeth and stood up, rushing towards Li Hao viciously.

Naturally, Li Hao wouldn't just stand around and be beaten.

The two sides scuffled into a ball.

Li Hao is not only physically strong, but also good in skill, Li Yan is no match for him at all.

He was the one who beat Li Yan the whole time.

Wait until the two are forcibly pulled apart.

Li Hao's clothes were ripped off, and there were a few scratches on his face, but everything else was fine.

Li Yan was even more miserable. Not only did he lose two teeth, but his left hand was also broken.

Soon the matter reached the ears of the emperor.

The emperor asked the imperial physician to treat the two wounded, and at the same time ordered the two to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors at home, and copied the disciple's rules a hundred times.

This is the case for the time being.

There are ministers in the court, suggesting that you canonize the princes as county kings.

People often mentioned this matter before, after all, the second prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are not young anymore.

At that time, the emperor felt that the princes had no merits and should not be crowned kings, and had to hone their skills.

Now, however, the emperor wavered a little.

He felt that instead of confining the princes to fight in the capital, it is better to let them out and let them go outside for a while.

Especially the fifth prince Li Yan.

This child is no longer qualified to compete for the Crown Prince, staying in Beijing will only cause trouble, why not give him a title, send him to a fief, and let him live out his life in peace.

But that's just a thought.

The emperor still has doubts in his heart, so he has to think again.

Li Hao was punished to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and he was extremely depressed.

From his point of view, it was entirely because Li Yan was just looking for trouble, and if he wanted to be punished, Li Yan should be punished.

He was completely implicated by Li Yan.

In order to make the second prince happy, the people around him searched for interesting and interesting things and brought them back for Li Hao to play with.

Li Hao was coaxed to be happy, and the benefits of the people around him were naturally indispensable.

More and more people came and went to give treasures to the second prince.

Many of them want to fish in troubled waters.
