Chapter 229 Shock
The next morning, Li Yuanji woke up from his drunkenness. He was fine at first, but suddenly his expression changed drastically, and then his face gradually turned pale and his eyes began to redden.

Aunt Chen... Aunt Chen is dead...

Li Yuanji seemed to understand what had just happened, but he soon calmed down. They were just a few family generals and servants. Was it worth his life or death?

Li Yuanji touched the woman beside him and couldn't remember who she was. Looking at the surrounding layout, it didn't seem to be his palace, but Li Yuanji was not at all panicked.

He simply woke up the woman and asked her to dress him. When he stepped out of the bedroom, he saw the servants waiting outside, and the owner of the place was also standing by and smiling.

If the news of the King of Qi staying overnight got out, he would be ridiculed, but what could he do? The King of Qi came with a sword in his hand and blood on his body. If he dared to say no, he would probably have died last night.

Li Yuanji didn't say anything. Although he kept comforting himself, Chen's figure kept appearing in his mind.

After returning home, he saw a funeral going on inside. Li Yuanji blushed and quickly ordered his attendants to remove the funeral ceremonies, then strode into the mansion.

"There are no rules. Who told you to do this? Call the princess here!"

Soon, Yang came out in plain clothes and saluted in the same cold and polite manner.

Li Yuanji stared at her and said, "Are you cursing me, or are you cursing my father, the emperor, and my mother?"

"I dare not, but Chen died of illness and there was no one to take care of her funeral. She has done a great job in raising Your Highness, and as Your Highness's wife, I am grateful. Chen's parents are both dead and she has never been married..."

Li Yuanji interrupted her: "She is just a slave, it's ok to arrange for her to stay outside, but how can she stay in the palace..."

In fact, on the way, Li Yuanji was thinking about arranging a grand funeral for Chen, but he didn't expect that it was arranged by Yang.

This made him feel very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he began to want to kill and see blood.

At this time, Wang An, Shao Yin of Bingzhou, led the officials to pay a visit. Li Yuanji was surprised: "Why are they here, Princess, you..."

For the first time since she got married, Yang interrupted her husband and said, "It's not me, but it's not surprising that they know. In Jinyang City, what can be hidden from the Taiyuan Wang family?"

They know it, but generally speaking, they will just pretend they don't know and stay away from it.

Li Yuanji suddenly felt something was wrong: "This matter ends here, you can leave."

Then Li Yuanji ordered his confidants to clean up the matter, and then he went to the main hall to meet the guests.

But when he stopped, he just hurried back home without washing or changing clothes. It would be inappropriate to meet his officials in such a dishevel, especially when the other party might have bad intentions.

So he ordered his confidant to go and socialize first to find out. After Li Yuanji washed up, he changed into the majestic court dress. He waited for no one to send him any news, so he could no longer hold back and went to the main hall.

Seeing Li Yuanji arrive, everyone stood up to greet him. There were only three princes in this dynasty, so they were naturally very precious.

Li Yuanji smiled at Wang An and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to come and greet you, Your Excellency."

Wang An replied elegantly, "Your Highness, you are too polite. I am sorry to bother you by coming here."

"Haha, I really wish I could get closer to the prince, but I am a rough man and I really don't understand the elegance of the prince's poetry and prose."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang An said bluntly, "I came here so suddenly because I have an urgent matter to report to Your Highness. Someone in the court has impeached me. Your Majesty has sent Wei Zheng to investigate thoroughly and summoned Your Highness back to Chang'an."

Li Yuanji's heart skipped a beat. He felt that a disaster was about to happen. How come all these things happened at once?

"Who impeached me?" "The Minister of the Left."

"what?"

Li Yuanji stood up immediately. He thought it was an impeachment by a censor like Wei Zheng, but he never expected it to be Pei Ji.

Someone in this position would not act rashly, but why?

Pei Ji himself is nothing, and the Pei family is not as prominent as him, but if this is Guan Long's intention, then it would be dangerous.

Li Yuanji, who himself came from a noble family in Guanlong, was well aware of the power they had mobilized.

Li Yuanji sat down slowly: "Then what did Zuo Pushe impeach me for?"

Wang An told the truth, but added at the end: "The Prime Minister also impeached Your Highness, secretly colluding with Jie Li Khan, waiting for the opportunity to imitate Your Majesty in the past, and directly enter Chang'an from Jinyang and replace him!"

"Bullshit! Bullshit, I'm going to kill that old thief! I'm going to kill all of the Pei family! How dare you frame the prince of the court and alienate the brotherhood between me and Your Majesty..."

Seeing that Li Yuanji had lost his composure, Wang An said with a worried look on his face: "Wei Zheng is already on his way, and the Prince of Chu is also with him. Even if we can prove that this matter is false, I am afraid that I will not be able to get the position of Bingzhou General Officer back for the time being."

Li Yuanji was frightened and suffered a hangover headache. He did not care about the presence of Wang An and others and hurriedly asked his confidants for advice, but they were also panicked at this time and had no idea.

The Prince of Qi is your Majesty's brother, and the Emperor Retired is still around, so he would not lose his life. But it is different for your close confidants. If they are really investigated, they will surely lose their lives, just like the Prince of Qi Yang Liang of the previous dynasty.

Finally, someone calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to deal with some things before Wei Zheng arrives, and let them impeach me for some personal moral issues.

You and His Majesty are close relatives, and no one can do anything to you without real evidence!"

Li Yuanji knocked his head hard. He regretted his indulgence over the past year. Since no news could be spread, he relaxed his vigilance.

It would be very difficult to completely clear up the mess at this time, and Wang An led everyone to stand up and say goodbye: "Your Highness has been informed of the matter, so I won't bother you anymore."

Only then did Li Yuanji realize that the people before him were the heads of all the important government offices in Bingzhou.

Li Yuanji stretched out his hand to stop Wang An: "Your Excellency brought these people here on purpose, it's not that you want to make fun of me."

Wang An smiled but said nothing: "How dare I laugh at your Highness the Prince of Qi's joke? I came here to remind you on purpose."

Li Yuanji bowed to Wang An solemnly and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Your Excellency. I also ask you to lend a hand and help Yuanji overcome the crisis. I will repay you in the future."

Wang An looked at the lowered head in front of him with contempt, and the officials behind him did the same. There was smile in their eyes and brows. The King of Qi was arrogant and did whatever he wanted, and he never showed any respect to them.

I didn't expect that this day would come. I finally lowered my ugly head. I feel relieved.

Of course, it would be even better if we could see this head rolling on the ground, but unfortunately it is difficult, unless the emperor passes away.

When Li Yuanji looked up, everyone said sincerely, "We will do our best to help the King of Qi."
