Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Li Wangfu.

"So, does Princess An really disregard King An's position at all, and continues to put pressure on that little Mrs. Lieutenant at this juncture?" Li Wang looked at the subordinate who tipped off the news with great interest.

The subordinate half-kneeled on the ground and nodded seriously: "Yes."

Li Wang touched his chin, then looked at him seriously.

"Then Taiwei Sun smuggled weapons before, and Wang An investigated this matter, have you found any clues?"

"After searching for so long, there is already news." The subordinate took out a note from his pocket, "King An was indeed investigating Sun Taiwei's smuggling of weapons, but...he didn't use his own people , but a group of people from the Waterway Casino."

"Gambling shop?" Li Wang took the note and looked at some details inside.

"Yes, it is a big boat gambling house that has always existed on the waterway of the capital city. And the subordinates have investigated many times, and found that there is a name that keeps appearing, but no one knows its origin, and it is still investigating." The subordinate responded. .

Seeing that there was nothing useful on the note, Li Wang hurriedly threw it away and asked lazily.

"what name?"

"Xiao Bihan."

After the subordinate's voice fell, Li Wang suddenly stood up from his seat, walked up to him, grabbed his collar and lifted him up: "Are you sure you did not make a mistake in your investigation!"

"This subordinate dare not lie to the prince!" The subordinate was trembling.

Li Wang's face changed again and again, from surprise to calm gradually, and finally a faint smile appeared, he threw away his subordinates, went straight to the side and tore off his coat: "Ready to enter the palace!"

The subordinates scrambled and crawled out to report.

And the smile in Li Wang's eyes was even stronger: "This king is worried that he will be the target of public criticism and cannot concentrate his troops. Li Chen, Li Chen, you have really found a good way out for this king."

After finishing speaking, King Li hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the palace to have an audience.

The emperor didn't want to see King Li.

However, King Li had already sat down fiercely: "Does your majesty know that Xia Bai'an, whom you are protecting, was disturbed by someone again today, and ruined the situation?"

The emperor used Xia Bai'an's matter to suppress all parties, and naturally wanted to react to it, so he showed an impatient look, but his eyes were calm: "Who did it?"

"It's Princess An." The eunuch responded tremblingly.

The emperor slammed his pen on the table with a snap: "Bold!"

Everyone knelt down one after another.

King Li also knelt down, straightened his back and said, "Not only that, but does the Emperor know how King An investigated Sun Taiwei's smuggling of weapons?"

The emperor swept away with a cold look.

King Li coldly glanced at the surrounding palace people, and he didn't make a sound until the emperor ordered the extra people to leave.

"It turns out that there is a man named Xiao Pihan in the water gambling house in the capital who is working for King An in private."

Hearing this, only shock remained in the emperor's eyes.

Li Wang looked at the look in the emperor's eyes with satisfaction, and continued.

"At the beginning, many people thought that Xiao Pihan was the child of the late emperor, but only later did they realize that this son was actually the child of Queen Mother An who was living away. In order to hide such a secret, the late emperor had already Killing Xiao Pihan is the way to go... Unexpectedly, now it seems that Li Chen has concealed the existence of this half-brother, and put him in the capital to monitor every move of your right-hand man."

Every word Li Wang uttered was like a stab in the emperor's heart.

The emperor should have grown up under the empress dowager's lap.

But the Empress Dowager is the same sister as the mother of Wang An and Li Chen. Because of the existence of Xiao Pihan, the mother and concubine of An Wang were given poisoned wine and died. , gave up raising her own son, and chose to raise Li Chen in a remote palace, which is why the current mother and son are separated.

For this matter, the emperor had a rift with the empress dowager for decades, and it has only slightly eased these days.

did not expect……

Xiao Pihan didn't die!

That's the culprit for pretty much everything!

The emperor's chest heaved violently, and he glanced coldly at Li Wang beside him.

"roll!"

"Yes."

Li Wang closed his eyes, not only did not feel angry, but even found the emperor's crazy appearance very interesting.

Such a person really does not deserve to continue to sit in this position.

……

Li Wang left.

The emperor immediately ordered an investigation.

In just two days, the emperor did not greet the queen mother, and even avoided the early court, just when everyone was wondering.

The emperor suddenly ordered Qi Weiguo to lead the forbidden army to go to the port to find people, and suddenly removed Sun Taiwei and the Sun family from their positions. Sun Yuzhou of Chengtian Mansion was also demoted, and the yamen was in chaos. Jie was also grounded and reprimanded for hooking up with Sun Taiwei.

Concubine Xu and fifth prince Li Cong were even reprimanded for colluding with Prince An Li Chen, and a group of forbidden troops directly broke into Prince An's mansion.

They took the emperor's oral order and rushed into Prince An's mansion.

"The emperor ordered that Li Chen, Wang An, hide criminals privately! Immediately put him in the prison!"

"Criminal?" Li Chen was at a loss when he heard this, "Why did this king hide the criminal? Where did the criminal come from?"

"The guilty minister, Xiao Pihan, survived under the protection of the prince! The emperor has already learned about this, and sent another group of people to the cruise ship gambling house to arrest the criminal!"

What the imperial guards said was convincing, and they were about to escort Li Chen and his confidants away.

Li Chen felt something was wrong.

Xu Yingjun rushed out at this time, and stopped in front of Li Chen: "There must be something wrong with this matter! Since she is a criminal minister, why has this princess never heard of this name, let alone the existence of this person! How can the prince know how to deal with it?" Cover up this person!"

Li Chen clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and wanted to hold Xu Yingjun's hand for a while.

What is this woman doing in such a hurry!

The imperial army did not do anything to her: "Princess An is a member of the Xu family. The Xu family has now received the emperor's order to manage soil improvement. The subordinates dare not detain the concubine, so please let the concubine go."

"No!"

Xu Yingjun was stubborn.

At the same time, Li Chen gently grabbed Xu Yingjun: "Don't stop me, after this king is imprisoned, go to Mo Che and tell him that Xia Bai'an has treated Xiao Pihan's injuries. If the emperor finds out about this, they will never recover If you want them to take Xiao Pihan away, you stay in the mansion and don't act rashly."

After finishing speaking, Li Chen pulled Xu Yingjun away and stepped forward, "Let me investigate."

As long as Xiao Pihan is not caught, his charges will not come true!

Xu Yingjun still wanted to stop her, but it was Xiaocui who took her away in a hurry and told her: "My lord's words are not wrong!"

It was only then that Xu Yingjun suddenly realized, and when Mo Che came back to rest, she stepped forward and told him about the matter, and said: "If you don't want Xia Bai'an to be buried with the prince! Then settle this matter quickly!"

Mo Che swept away Xu Yingjun, turned around and went to the casino.

When did Xia Bai'an get involved with Xiao Pihan?

Since Xu Yingjun knew about this, maybe Xiao Pihan would also make an issue out of Xia Bai'an!

At that time, he won't be able to protect Xia Bai'an anymore!
