Changsun Wujia saw that his brother was so serious and knew that the situation was urgent and could not allow him to think too much, so he said no more, nodded, turned and left.

However, Changsun Wuji had just helped Changsun Wujia pack his luggage. Before the two of them went out, Commander Chen of the Yulin Army surrounded Changsun Mansion with two thousand Yulin Army generals.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help being shocked when he saw this scene, but then he thought about it. Although Li Jiancheng probably guessed that he already knew the truth about the death of His Highness King Qin, that's why he sent people to kill him to silence him.

But he had no evidence. If he argued hard, he might have a chance to convince Commander Chen and escape with his sister.

So Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, and surrounded by the dead soldiers of Changsun Mansion, he came down to the courtyard and shouted to the commander of the Yulin Army:"Commander Chen, I wonder what is the purpose of leading people to surround my Changsun Mansion?"

Then Commander Chen has always supported Li Jiancheng, and last night he led troops to force Li Yuan to abdicate. This has deepened his position in Li Jiancheng's heart, and now he is even more arrogant.

He heard Changsun Wuji's question and snorted coldly:"Changsun Wuji, don't pretend to be crazy here. After your Majesty's personal investigation, it has been found that the person who killed His Highness King Qin last night was brought by you!

Your Majesty There is an order, if you refuse to be captured, we will take you back for interrogation and leave you a way to survive. If you insist on resisting to the end, then don’t blame our ruthless men. The entire Changsun family will definitely leave no one alive!"

Changsun Wuji heard this. When he said this, his eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he yelled angrily:"Fart! Who doesn't know that my eldest son, Wuji, has always been a die-hard loyalist to His Highness the King of Qin?

Even my sister has already been engaged to His Highness the King of Qin, how could I kill His Highness the King of Qin? ?"

However, Commander Chen already had a way to deal with Changsun Wuji's words. He said coldly:"Stop talking nonsense, according to our investigation and analysis, it was you who secretly colluded with the people of the Dragon Kingdom to kill His Highness King Qin. You know the reason in your heart!"

Changsun Wuji saw that the other party's words were ambiguous, but he seemed to have made up his mind to kill himself, so he said no more and let the dead soldiers in the mansion escort him and his sister out of the siege.

Just when the cries of killing broke out in the Changsun Mansion, Princess Pingyang Zhao Li Xiuning was rushing to the Changsun Mansion. When she heard a cry of killing, her face immediately changed and she rushed over.

The reason why Li Xiuning came to find Changsun Wuji was because she could not find her second brother Li Shimin.

It turned out that although Li Xiuning did not attend the morning court because she was a daughter, after the morning court, she heard that almost everyone in the court was talking about the news that her father had abdicated due to physical illness and let his eldest brother inherit the throne.

Although Li Xiuning is not involved in the fight for the crown prince between the eldest and second brother, based on her relationship with the two, she is obviously closer to the second brother who is lively, cheerful, capable and has a world-wide mind.

As for the eldest brother Li Jiancheng, because he is relatively stable and has a gloomy personality, in Li Xiuning's view, he is more like his elder, and he has dared to talk to his eldest brother since he was a child.

So after learning that her father had allowed her eldest brother to inherit the throne, she was obviously a little unhappy and planned to go to her father to"question the crime" and to check on him to see if he was feeling well.

The palace where Li Yuan lived was located in the deepest part of the palace, which was equivalent to the cold palace in the harem. It was usually inaccessible, and Li Jiancheng only sent a dozen people to take turns guarding it again.

Li Xiuning didn't think much about this. After all, the news she received was that her father was ill, so she thought that her father lived in a remote place to stay away from the mundane world and rest in peace, so she naturally had no doubts.

It happened that the orders received by these dozen guards only prohibited the late emperor and the queen mother from leaving the palace, but did not say that others were not allowed to enter. In addition, Princess Pingyang had a special status, so they did not dare to stop her.

So Li Xiuning met Li Yuan easily. She originally thought that her father was unwell and must be bedridden at this time, but she didn't expect that when she came in, she found her father sitting at the table drinking tea. He seemed to be in good spirits, but a little uncomfortable. Happy.

Li Yuan was a little surprised when he saw his daughter come in. After all, he was under house arrest here by Li Jiancheng, and there were people guarding the door. He thought that he would not be able to see anyone else.

So after a brief surprise, Li Yuan was overjoyed and asked quickly:"Xiuning, why are you here? Didn't Li Jiancheng stop you?" Li Yuan

's words stunned Li Xiuning, and then she explained her purpose of coming, and what exactly did Li Yuan say? thing.

After hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh and said:"My father spent his whole life in the army, how could his body be as weak as he said? The reason why he abdicated the throne was not all because of his forced concubine!"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Xiuning was immediately shocked. Shocked, he quickly asked:"Father, are you saying that your abdication was forced by your eldest brother and not of your own free will?"

Li Yuan sighed softly, and then told Li Xiuning everything about yesterday night, and Li Xiuning was told to leave quickly before Li Jiancheng knew she had been here.

Afterwards, Li Yuan was still a little worried and said:"You must be careful. Li Jiancheng has been confused by power at this time. After you leave, tell Shimin about this as soon as possible and let him prepare in advance to prevent Li Jiancheng from attacking him."."

At this time, Li Yuan and Li Xiuning did not know that Li Shimin was dead. After all, the biggest news today was that Li Jiancheng suddenly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Li Shimin's death was rarely mentioned. In addition, the two of them had always stayed in the palace and had no knowledge of what happened outside the palace.

When Li Xiuning learned that her father was being forced by her eldest brother, she was furious. She immediately went to Prince Qin's Mansion to explain the matter to her second brother and plan how to find out her father.

However, after he came to Prince Qin's Mansion, he did not find Li Shimin. When he thought that Changsun Wuji was the confidant of the second brother, he would definitely know the whereabouts of the second brother. Even if he didn't know, he would definitely be able to think of a solution if he told him about it.

However, she did not expect that the Changsun Mansion was already in chaos at this time, and all kinds of shouts of killing came and went.

So she hurriedly ran to the gate of the mansion, and happened to see Commander Chen of the Yulin Army leading the soldiers of the Yulin Army to surround and kill the dead soldiers of Changsun Mansion, while Changsun Wuji and his sister were hiding at the back.

Li Xiuning didn't care about Changsun Wuji's raising of dead soldiers. After all, in this war, any powerful family would raise some dead soldiers to protect themselves and their families.

Seeing this, Li Xiuning did not dare to rush in without knowing it, so she had to observe from the outside. At this moment, she suddenly heard Changsun Wuji shouting:"Li Jiancheng, if you kill your brother and force your father, you will definitely..." You will be punished!"
