Chapter 1356 Father and Son Game

Gu Lianyue walked in and was startled by Yun Li’s cold face.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Gu Lianyue looked at Yun Li with a worried look on her face, "Has something bad happened in the court again?"

Yun Li raised his head and looked at Gu Lianyue coldly.

Bad things?

It's more than just a bad thing!

Gu Lianyue was startled by Yun Li's eyes.

She tried hard to recall what she had just said.

That was all I said!

She racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. How could just this one sentence anger Yun Li?

Just when Gu Lianyue was about to kneel down and beg for mercy out of fear, Yun Li suddenly spoke up: "After I fell unconscious, have there been any changes in the officials of the court?"

Changes in officials?

Gu Lianyue thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "There haven't been any changes in the officials of the various departments, but the generals under the command of the Duke of Yu have undergone a large-scale replacement..."

"Switch?"

Yun Li frowned, "How do you switch?"

Gu Lianyue: "For example, the generals of the Left and Right Cavalry Guards were transferred to the Left and Right Garrison Guards, and some generals of the Yulin Army and the Shenwu Army were exchanged. He directly commanded the Left and Right Cavalry Guards and the Yulin Guards, Xue Che commanded the Left and Right Garrison Guards, and Xu Yungong temporarily commanded the Shenwu Army..."

As Gu Lianyue spoke, she felt secretly confused.

There shouldn't be any problem with Xiao Wanchou's arrangement, right?

The prince had been seriously ill before, and in order to prevent chaos in the court, Xiao Wanchou would definitely replace some generals in the army.

In this way, once a general has any unrealistic ideas, he may not be able to mobilize his troops.

This is also for the safety of the Imperial City and the Prince's Mansion!

Listening to Gu Lianyue's words, Yun Li also lowered his head and began to think.

There is indeed nothing wrong with Xiao Wanchou doing this.

Moreover, Xiao Wanchou also let Xu Yungong lead the Shenwu Army.

As Xu Shifu's son, Xu Yungong was naturally his confidant.

All of Xiao Wanchou's arrangements, even including asking Gu Lianyue to order him to protect the princes and concubines, were for his own benefit.

Logically speaking, he had no reason to doubt Xiao Wanchou.

Could it be that I am just overthinking it?

Ok……

and many more!

As he was thinking about it, Yun Li's heart suddenly shuddered.

Shenwu Army!

Why did Xiao Wanchou let Xu Yungong lead the Shenwu Army?

Instead of letting Xu Yungong lead the Yulin Guard or other departments?

As he thought about it, a hint of enlightenment flashed in Yun Li's eyes.

The Shenwu Army was led by Qin Qihu in the early years!

Later, it was Xiao Dingwu who took charge!

After Xiao Dingwu was transferred to Yunzhou, he was led by the former deputy general of the Shenwu Army!

The Shenwu Army can even be said to be Xiao Wanchou's direct troops!

Even if Xu Yungong was allowed to lead the Shenwu Army, as long as Xiao Wanchou did not agree, Xu Yungong would absolutely not be able to mobilize a single soldier of the Shenwu Army!

Letting Xu Yungong lead the Shenwu Army is just for show!

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Yun Li looked uneasy, Gu Lianyue suddenly became uneasy again.

She didn't understand what was wrong with Yun Li.

She felt that Yun Li had become a different person since he woke up.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."

Yun Li waved his hand gently and asked again: "Any news about uncle? Didn't he say he was ill before? Is his health getting better?"

He had already received news that Xu Shifu fell ill on the day of Emperor Wen's Fengshan ceremony.

It’s been almost a month.

I don’t know how Xu Shifu’s health is.

Gu Lianyue shook her head gently: "I'm not sure about this. Father and mother sent someone to send a letter back, they were all concerned about your highness's condition, but they didn't mention my uncle's condition."

Is that so?

Yun Li lowered his brows and began to think again.

After a while, Yun Li ordered Gu Lianyue again: "Send someone to the imperial city to spread the news, saying that I was poisoned by Lao Liu's people and almost lost my life! The chaos in the court a few days ago was all caused by this!"

Gu Lianyue was slightly stunned, and then her face was full of admiration: "Your Highness is really resourceful! This way, not only can Yun Zheng's reputation be damaged, but the matter of protecting the princes and concubines can also be rounded up to avoid giving people a reason to criticize."

I have to say that Yun Li’s move was indeed very clever.

Even if Yun Li was not her husband, she would still praise him.

Yun Li had no intention of listening to Gu Lianyue's flattery, and said, "Tell your father later and ask him to come to your house tonight!"

"Yes!"

……

Because Yun Li was critically ill, Emperor Wen and his men returned much faster.

It was originally going to take them half a month to get back to the imperial city, but they ended up returning in just eight days.

After a few days of rest, Yun Li's physical condition did not seem to have improved much, and he still looked sickly.

However, Yun Li is very filial.

Knowing that Emperor Wen and his men would return to the Imperial City today, Yun Li, despite his poor health, still led his ministers to the outside of the Imperial City to welcome Emperor Wen's return.

Considering Yun Li's health, the ministers suggested that Yun Li sit in the carriage to avoid being exposed to the cold wind.

After Yun Li refused for a while, he couldn't resist the ministers and got on the carriage.

Near noon, Yun Li received news that Emperor Wen and his group were less than five miles away.

It was only at this time that Yun Li walked out of the carriage with the help of Gu Lianyue.

"Your Highness, why don't you stay in the carriage for a while longer?"

Tang Shu looked at the sickly Yun Li and suggested, "It won't be too late for Your Highness to get off the carriage until His Majesty and the others are closer."

After listening to Tang Shu's words, all the ministers echoed him.

"it's okay no problem……"

Yun Li smiled weakly: "I have been recuperating for a few days, and my health has improved greatly. You gentlemen don't have to worry, ahem..."

As he spoke, Yun Li began to cough softly again.

Looking at Yun Li's appearance, the ministers couldn't help but secretly sigh that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still very filial.

Even though he was so ill, he still insisted on coming in person to welcome the emperor.

This kind of filial piety is truly rare!

Gu Lianyue patted Yun Li's back gently, her face full of heartache.

Soon, a flag appeared in the distance.

Seeing the flags fluttering in the wind, everyone knew that Emperor Wen and his entourage who had gone to Jishan to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth had returned.

Everyone lined up quickly, waiting to greet Emperor Wen.

Soon, Emperor Wen's carriage came over here escorted by the imperial guards.

Finally, it stopped about ten feet away from them.

"Your Majesty and the Queen are welcome!"

"Your son respectfully welcomes Father, the Emperor, and Mother, the Empress..."

Everyone saluted in unison.

Emperor Wen came down with the support of Empress Xu, motioned for everyone to excuse themselves, and came to Yun Li who was supported by Gu Lianyue.

"You're already so sick, why did you come to greet me in person?"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li with a hint of reproach, but his face was full of heartache.

"Don't worry, father. I am fine..."

Yun Li smiled casually, "Father and Mother have been gone for three months. I miss them so much, so... ahem..."

As he spoke, Yun Li started coughing again.
