A remote house in the outer city.

As night falls, the lights here are very dark.

After King Li sat down, he looked at the man wearing a straw hat with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"What are you doing when you hide your head and reveal your tail, and you are secretly looking for me?" he asked.

"Of course there is something important to me when I look for the prince." The man said in his throat: "You know a little, so that I came here, right?"

King Li avoided this question and continued: "If you have anything, just say it! I don't have that much time to guess riddles with you."

"Your Majesty, you should be anxious." The man smiled lowly, "As soon as next month, one of the imperial concubines will have a baby? If this time he gave birth to Long Zi... Tsk, poor Your Highness Ning!"

King Li was not furious, but looked at him quietly without saying a word.

"Okay, let's open the skylight and speak out!" The man changed his tone without seeing him refuting, "We are now lonely ghosts and have no extravagance. We just want to make more money and give us the capital to fly far away. You should understand this, right?"

King Li still didn't speak.

He came here today, of course he was not wandering around.

It is a prince of the empire and the number one prince. There is certainly a reason to come to such a dark place to meet someone who is unwilling to show his appearance.

The cause was that one night fifteen days ago, after a party with literary friends in a restaurant, King Li came home and found that a piece of paper was stuffed into his pocket.

It reads "Do you want King Ning to be the emperor? Can we help you!"

At first, he just thought it was just a joke and tore the note directly.

As a result, ten days ago, there was another gathering of literary friends in the teahouse. This time he did not drink, and when he returned home, he saw notes written in another font.

"In three days, you can go to the palace and we will paste a red cloth on the rockery near the xx building."

Seeing this note, King Li's heart moved.

He didn't want to fall into the trap of these people, but by the way, he entered the palace in the name of visiting the Queen Mother.

Then he also saw the conspicuous red.

After recruiting the palace guards, the eunuch asked who arranged it and what it meant, but they didn't know it.

But the guard said that there was no such thing yesterday.

So, there was some turmoil in King Li's heart.

Five days ago, according to the instructions of the note, he saw the same piece of red cloth hanging on the branches in the imperial garden not far from the door of the emperor's imperial study.

He asked the eunuch Zhao Shou next to him, but Zhao Shou didn't know either.

So, when two days ago, a request for a meeting appeared in his pocket again, he hesitated for a long time and came.

The request for this meeting was not just the address and time. They made it clear in the note that they belonged to the "former prince's remnant".

OK.

Now King Li understood that these people must be from King Ren Liu Mingyu.

As for the other former prince, who has been dead for thirteen years, how could he have any confidants?

The death of King Ren Liu Mingyu is still a bit strange. Anyway, there are many legends in the capital, but the only thing that is certain is that Liu Mingyu must not have died naturally.

As for why it was suppressed and not caused any trouble, King Li felt that there was a big inside story. Once exposed, it would have a huge impact on the whole world.

On weekdays, King Li was not interested in these gossips, but now his son, King Ning, Liu Mingguan, has the hope of gaining the position of crown prince and inheriting the throne, so he has to pay attention.

It is obvious that King Ren's subordinates still have considerable strength. At least judging from their performance, they have some influence in the palace.

This is the reason why King Li is willing to meet them.

He felt that he could get more information from the palace through them, so that he could make more decisions that would be beneficial to Mingguan.

But King Li didn't expect that not only did he not see this person during the meeting today, but he also sarcastically started, as if he came here just to see his anger.

This is not right.

It's also very unreasonable.

So King Li quickly calmed down.

He wants to see what these people really want.

Just money?

King Li doesn't believe it very much.

Such a requirement is too low, and it is far from enough to make them take such a risky move to secretly contact the prince. This alone is enough to make them behead and search their homes.

The man was a little surprised to see that the King of Li was so stable.

According to their information, this King of Li is gentle, but he is definitely not a person who can hide his thoughts.

Now he is taciturn and makes him talk more. How could this be the superficial king of rites?

Or, is this King of Li hidden too well before?

After letting go of this thought, the man said again: "Prince, have you thought about it? Do you want our help?"

King Li shook his head: "Just relying on your all-out costumes and their mysterious words is not enough to cooperate with us... Whether my son can get the position of prince depends on God's arrangement. What can you just some servants do?"

"We can do more." The man smiled, "For example, we can send you some news... You also know that newborn children are very likely to die. This is something that is common in the folk and in the palace, right?"

King Li didn't react at first.

After a moment, he took a breath and slapped the table and said, "You guys are so brave!! How dare you do such a crazy thing!?"

The man was unmoved. After King Li's breath was smooth, he said, "This is just something that may happen. I didn't say anything that a traitor wants to harm the prince. Prince, you are so excited."

King Li looked at him and sneered: "Did I interpret it too much? You know it yourself."

"Prince, as the saying goes, it is definitely better to make plans early than to cram the Buddha's feet on the spot." The man said, "No matter what I say to you now, you are still lucky, right? I hope that the three imperial concubines gave birth to this time, just like the last time, are all princesses?"

The King of Li doesn't speak.

The man said leisurely: "But according to Liu Bianque's pulse, at least two are princes."

"ah!?"

The King of Li couldn't help but exclaimed, frowned: "Really?"

"It's true, but the emperor issued an order and no leakage is allowed." The man said: "It happened that one of us was by the emperor, so we heard the news."

The King of Li looked a little ugly.

Today, his face looked ugly not once or twice, but this time he was sincere and in a bad mood.

If a prince is really born, then what the emperor will do is worth discussing.

It is certain that Prince is enthroned.

Directly conferring the prince...

The emperor must not be so reckless or so ruthless, right? How low is this person who has a person with such a low moral character can do it?

After thinking for a while, his heart was in chaos.

The man unexpectedly did not speak.

He was waiting for King Li to brew his panic.

I don’t know how long I waited, but King Li came back to his god and found that his clothes were soaked.

But in the end, he still retained a little bit of consciousness and stood up slowly: "You and I say different things, don't do anything for your plan. Goodbye!"

His tone was weak, but he still insisted on walking out.

The man did not stop him, but said, "Prince, if you want to contact me, next time you will be next to the outside door of this house, engraved with three words "earth". I will wait for you here the next night."

This time, Li Wang didn't even say anything, and opened the door and closed the door and left.

He had just walked for a while when the small door next to him opened and a man with a white face and no beard came in.

"Father-in-law."

The man who had taken off his hat and showed his face, but he was Xing Yushu, one of the eight chief constables in the capital.

"Are you a little disappointed when you see this King of Li?" the eunuch asked him later.

"There is one thing that he is too timid." Xing Yushu shook his head and said, "This kind of person likes to look back and forth, and has no decision yet. He doesn't look like a person who does big things."

"This is not necessarily the case. The reason why he dared not make a decision was because he was not forced into a desperate situation." The eunuch said lightly, "Parents usually can bear grievances, but they cannot let their children suffer grievances... I think he will stand up for his son."

"What if he doesn't?"

"Then we have no loss," said the eunuch, "You should make money without delay!"

While speaking, the eunuch handed over another silver note of 10,000 taels, "This is just a small sum. When King Li takes the bait, you will have something to earn."

"I know this."

Xing Yushu held the silver notes and said with a smile: "Last year they had almost one million taels of silver, but they were very rich!"

As he said that, he sighed again: "It's a pity that Liu Mingqi has no interest in the throne... Otherwise, if we put our target on him, we will be able to be rich and rival a country."

"No hurry, no hurry."
