The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 732 Henglian comes to visit

When Wang Xuance said this, he gritted his teeth and looked at Ashina Yun who was huddled in the corner, saying, "You barbarian woman, you are really despicable. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was kind enough to invite you to have a chat, but you actually came up with such an idea and took advantage of his Highness."

Maybe the drinking before was premeditated, otherwise why would he try so hard to get His Highness to have fun? He is really scheming!

After saying this, Wang Xuance knocked his head to the ground, as if he was ready to be cut and chopped.

When Ashina Yun heard this, she felt angry and aggrieved. How could a Turkic princess like me defile His Highness? How could this be justified?

But it is not easy to argue about such things, so the mood that had just calmed down became sad again, and there was an indescribable feeling of sadness and confusion.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The princess is pure and innocent, and has noble character. How could she be like what you say?"

"Alas! Things have come to this. What's the point of killing you? Your rotten life is not worth the princess's innocence."

Seeing this, Li Yan walked around the room twice, as if he had a nameless anger that he had nowhere to vent: "Humph, I will terminate your job as the East Palace Schoolmaster right now. Get out of here and kneel outside. I will see how I will deal with you when I return."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wang Xuance walked out of the room with a dejected look on his face, as if he had lost his parents. Before leaving, he glanced at Ashina Yun with resentment and closed the door.

As soon as the door closed and they were the only ones left, Li Yan suddenly said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Princess, it was all caused by drinking. No matter what, it was all my fault for what happened. I apologize to you here!"

After saying that, Li Yan bowed his head deeply, then looked up and suddenly saw the bed sheet exposed because the quilt was wrapped around Ashina Yun. There was a string of bright blood-red plum blossoms on it, which was particularly dazzling. He felt happy and a little uneasy at once.

"In fact, although I am the crown prince and have countless maids in the East Palace, I have always been cautious and have never indulged myself."

Li Yan blushed and said shyly, "Last night was my first time, and I was drunk and unconscious. I don't remember what I did. But since it happened, I won't run away and I am willing to take responsibility."

"Princess."

Although Ashina Yun had a strong character and was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, she was only a girl in her teens after all. She had never encountered such a thing before. Moreover, she was not with her father Khan in the desert, but in Chang'an City, thousands of miles away.

After Wang Xuance explained everything, Ashina Yun raised his misty eyes and looked at Li Yan, whose face was immature and frightened, and his heart was sad again.

The other party was obviously also a young man who had just started out. What Lord Wang said was not unreasonable. He was the crown prince of a huge empire. He could get any woman he wanted. There was no reason for him to defile a Hu woman like himself.
Even though she was the princess of the second Turkic Khan.
Although she was called a princess, she was actually just flattering herself. In the eyes of the people in the Central Plains who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and followed etiquette and literature, the Hu tribes in the grasslands of the desert and the north were just savages who ate raw meat and drank blood, and they looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

If those Tang Dynasty officials who always talk about benevolence and righteousness knew about this, they might actually accuse him of having bad intentions and defiling the pure Crown Prince.
But who can be blamed for what happened yesterday?
Could it be that Lord Wang would think so, that I was too proactive yesterday?
The other party invited her to a banquet, but she knew that the other party could not drink much, but she kept on provoking him with words, trying to get him drunk, find out some secrets of the Tang Dynasty, and vent her anger on behalf of her lover, so that he would be humiliated in public.

Later, stimulated by Li Ke's choice, he pulled him over to drink to vent his emotions.

The two men were extremely drunk and dragged someone into the room. It seemed like they had planned this for a long time.

Although I couldn't remember what happened after I got drunk, what Mr. Wang said about me insisting on talking to the prince was possible. I sometimes get drunk and crazy when I drink too much, and my father Khan has blamed me many times.

Thinking of this, Ashina Yun felt wronged and miserable again. Perhaps he had been subconsciously remembering the military situation of the Tang Dynasty.
But I didn't expect that I would make such a big mistake this time.

Ashina Yun now really wanted to throw himself into his father Khan's arms, cry loudly, and let his father Khan make the decision for him. This is what Ashina Yun would do every time he got into trouble since he was a child. Every time, his father Khan's body as strong as a mountain would shield him from the wind and rain and bring him peace.

But this time, my father couldn't help me, the piglet was gone.
Ashana Yun was overwhelmed with grief, and had no place to vent the grievances in her heart. She had lost her chastity as a girl. She looked up at the young man who was constantly explaining to her, but she could not hear a word he said.

"You go out."

Well.
Li Yan was stunned. He had been talking for a long time but the other party didn't listen to a word. When he was about to explain again, Ashina Yun suddenly exploded. She was as angry as a little female beast and roared with infinite grievance: "Get out, get out quickly, I don't want to see you!"

At this time, Wang Xuance said anxiously outside: "Your Highness, someone has come from the palace. The emperor is urgently summoning you and has lost his temper. Lord Heng has arrived outside the courtyard and has even brought the robes for the emperor. Come into the palace quickly!"

"Ugh!"

Li Yan sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Then I will leave first. The guards will stay to protect the princess. If the princess needs anything, just tell them. I will come to visit Her Royal Highness after the court session." After saying that, Li Yan reluctantly left the room.

As soon as he went out, he saw Heng Lian and a group of guards and eunuchs waiting in the yard, holding the formal dress that Li Yan usually wore to attend court.

Without saying anything, he pulled Li Yan to find a room nearby and started to change clothes with the help of everyone.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After years of pampering, Li Yan has become a person who does not touch the water. At first, he wanted to try to wash, change clothes and fold the quilt by himself, but when he did it for the first time, all the servants and maids in the bedroom, including Heng Lian, knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing this situation, Li Yan had no choice but to adapt to the local customs and let Heng Lian and the female official make arrangements. After a long time, he got used to it.

Li Yan stretched out his arms and tilted his head back, letting the eunuchs busy themselves. He asked casually, "Henglian, why did the emperor summon me?"

"Your Highness, you don't know?" Heng Lian was very surprised.

"What do you know? I got drunk yesterday afternoon and slept until I woke up just now. Xuan Ce and the others didn't have time to say a few words."

Heng Lian nodded in realization and reported, "Your Highness, at noon yesterday, the King of Shu was attacked by assassins on his way to the palace. One of the guards was killed and one was injured, and the King of Shu was also shot in the shoulder."

"The Emperor visited the Prince of Shu's mansion this afternoon, and the Empress also sent someone to the East Palace to invite Your Highness to visit. The entire Chang'an City was under martial law yesterday afternoon. It was not very convenient for me to move around, and when I found Your Highness, it was already very late, and Your Highness was drunk and unconscious."

"I have reported your highness's situation to the Empress. The Empress had no choice but to let me keep an eye on him and make preparations in advance. When your highness wakes up in the morning, he will go to Qiyun Palace immediately to visit the King of Shu with the Empress."

Li Yan was stunned. Why didn't Wang Xuance report such an important matter to him?

But then he remembered that he drank a lot yesterday, and then flew all night. This morning, Wang Xuance had to take the blame, and he was scolded by him like a grandson, so he really didn't have a chance to say anything.

"Who assassinated the King of Shu? Has the murderer been caught?" Li Yan was stunned, a thoughtful look on his face.

Heng Lian said, "They must be Turkic Hu people. When the incident happened yesterday, Duke Lu happened to be passing by with a group of soldiers. They followed the direction the assassins fled and finally blocked the thieves in a residential building."

"Those people fought stubbornly and refused to surrender. Not only did they fight back desperately, but they also set fire to the palace in an attempt to perish together with the Duke of Lu."

"By the time the Royal Guards organized by Duke Lu put out the fire, more than a dozen assassins had been burned beyond recognition, leaving only the scimitars they used to commit the crime and the crossbows that had been burned to wreckage. However, when they assassinated the King of Shu, many people saw them. They were a group of Hu people hiding in Yongxingfang, and they usually opened a wine shop in the East Market."

Li Yan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and murmured to himself: "So, the third brother should thank Hou Junji for helping him get revenge."

Sure enough, Hou Junji would not sit still and wait for death. Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.

Once Cheng Yunliang enters the palace, Hou Junji will be finished. His daughter will never be able to marry into the royal family again, and he will lose his title and military position. How could he embezzle one million strings of cash?

For ordinary officials, confiscating their property and exterminating their clans would not be a problem. No matter how great Hou Junji's merits were, how useful he was to the court, or how close his friendship with the emperor was, he would at least be stripped of his military post, his title removed, and exiled.

It is a world of difference from the current situation. No wonder Hou Junji is so crazy and doesn't care about anything.

Li Ke was really bold. He wanted to uproot Hou Junji, a fierce tiger in the army, but he went out with only a few guards. He really didn't know his place. Hou Junji didn't kill him too, which was already a mercy for him.

"Who says it's not?"

"Duke Lu is really generous. You know, the Prince of Shu led people to search the mansion some time ago. I didn't expect that Duke Lu would let bygones be bygones and work so hard to help the Prince of Shu track down the murderer."

Heng Lian agreed and continued, "According to the people at the scene, the assassins once shouted that it was because the King of Shu deceived Jie Li when he was in Suizhou, so they wanted to kill the King of Shu to eliminate a threat to their Turks and avenge their Khan's shame."

"People from Wannian County and Jingzhao Yin participated in the investigation and initially determined that it was a revenge of the Turks against the Tang Dynasty. The emperor, Lord Fang, Lord Zhangsun, and Lord Cen also basically believed that this was the case. The emperor visited the Prince of Shu's mansion yesterday afternoon and comforted the Prince of Shu."

"Because Your Highness did not show up, the Empress did not go either, and the other princes' palaces, including the Prince of Wei, the Prince of Qi, the Prince of Zhao, the Prince of Lu, and the Prince of Feng, did not send anyone. Because the princes did not move, many important officials in the court did not dare to show up easily, so that the Emperor got very angry and urged Your Highness to hurry to the palace."
