"Duan Ye, what happened?
Why is the whole country showing mourning in the city?
Tell me who died?"
Li Rushan walked up to Duan Ye in two steps and asked anxiously.
Duan Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered that Li Rushan and the others had just returned from a mission.
Naturally, they did not know the situation in the country, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor passed away suddenly more than a month ago.
As usual, we need to wear mourning Three months.”
Hearing Duan Ye's answer, Li Rushan had a look of disbelief on his face.
Even Ye Li next to him was full of shock and didn't understand how Li Tianyuan died.
"What are you talking about?
My father passed away.
Why did he die?
Tell me how he died."
Li Tianyuan asked Duan Ye.
Duan Ye seemed to be hesitant and was stunned for a moment before replying: "Your Highness, we don't know how your Majesty died.
According to the news from the palace, he died of a sudden serious illness, but no one can say this."
I dare to believe it.
After all, Your Majesty has cultivated so much, how could he possibly get sick?"
Li Tianyuan nodded when he heard this and said: "Yes, judging from my father's cultivation, it is absolutely impossible for him to contract the disease.
There must be something hidden in this matter.
I want to go back to the palace to see what happened." what happened By the way, according to custom, one month after the death of the emperor, the new emperor must ascend the throne.
Is it my eldest brother who will inherit the throne now?"
Li Tianyuan asked.
Duan Ye shook his head and said: "The situation this time is said to be a bit special.
After His Majesty's death, the ministers split into two parts.
One part of the people supported His Highness the eldest prince's succession, while the other part wanted to I insist on waiting for Your Highness to come back, thinking that you also have the right to inherit the throne.
Because a large part of the people, including the Prime Minister, insisted on waiting for your return, the palace made a temporary decision this time and changed the time of succession from one month to one and a half months.
If, Your Highness, you hurry back to the palace now, you should be able to catch up. " Hearing Duan Ye's words, Li Rushan's face relaxed a little.
After all, if Li Ruhai succeeded to the throne, he would have to think twice about whether to return to the palace.
After all, with Li Ruhai's temper, it is very likely that he will kill Li Rushan after he succeeds to the throne.
If Li Rushan returns to the palace, he will be trapped in a trap.
"We have to go back to the palace and leave as soon as possible.
The envoys are moving too slowly.
Let's just ask them to slow down a step while we ride the fast horses back to the palace first."
After Li Rushan made his decision, he said something to the brothers Ye Li and Liu Zhanqing.
Ye Li naturally had no objection to this.
He followed Li Rushan, found four fast horses, and prepared to rush to Tang Jingcheng.
After Li Rushan entrusted the delegation to the master of Talisman God, he led the two brothers Ye Li and Liu Zhanqing together and galloped towards Tang Jingcheng on a fast horse.
Tang Jingcheng, the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.
Li Ruhai was sitting opposite an old man with a beard, his face full of impatience.
"Chen Qian, do I really have to wait for a month and a half?
Li Rushan should be returning to the palace soon."
Li Ruhai looked a little ugly.
After he killed Li Tianyuan according to the plan, he originally thought that everything was peaceful and he could take the throne directly.
However, a group of veterans in the court actually united to ask him to postpone his accession to the throne and had to wait for Li Rushan's return.

Only later can the ownership of the throne be decided.
Li Ruhai never thought that Li Rushan would have so many supporters in the court, who helped Li Rushan block his plan to ascend the throne.
"Your Highness, we have just received news that Li Rushan has entered the border a day ago and learned about the situation here in Xifeng City.
He should be rushing to the palace now.
If he is allowed to rush back to the palace, your succession to the throne will become complicated.
The cause of the late emperor's death has made many people suspect you.
Now if we wait for Li Rushan to come back, more people will support his ascension to the throne. " As the internal affairs manager of the harem, Chen Qian has always been Li Ruhai's confidant, which even Li Tianyuan did not expect.
Li Ruhai also relied on Chen Qian's relationship to arrange for someone to poison Li Tianyuan to death.
Although because of the special poison, no one in the palace could be sure that Li Tianyuan died of poisoning, they would at least suspect poisoning.
After all, Li Tianyuan's death was too sudden and strange.
When Li Ruhai heard Chen Qian's report, his expression changed and he said: "We can't let Li Rushan come back, we must kill him Chen Qian, please contact me the hidden killing team in the palace immediately.
My father’s seal of controlling the hidden killing team has been secretly taken away by me.
With my current power, it should not be a problem to mobilize the killers below Fu Zun. .
You quickly find out Li Rushan's whereabouts, and then send the hidden killing team to intercept him on the way and never allow him to return to the palace. " After hearing what Li Ruhai said, Chen Qian quickly took the order and left.
Li Rushan, Ye Li and others had already walked half the distance.
They were riding fast and almost never rested at all.
Every time they arrived at a city, they would buy a good horse and change horses before riding on.
That night, Li Rushan originally planned to continue on his way, but a sudden heavy rain forced them to stop temporarily to take shelter.
After all, it’s too dark outside on a rainy night, and the supermarket floor is muddy.
It’s almost impossible to tell the direction, and it’s easy to get lost.
Once they go the wrong way, they won't waste more than one night, so the four of them might as well rest for a night before rushing on.
Just after Li Rushan gave the order to repair, Ye Li found a cave halfway up the mountain, and then everyone climbed up the mountain on horseback and hid in the cave.
Ye Li took out some firewood that he had packed in advance from his bracelet and lit a bonfire in the cave.
Everyone sat around the bonfire to rest.
"Your Highness, I think there must be something fishy about your Majesty's death.
It is absolutely impossible that he died of illness."
Liu Zhanqing said to Li Rushan.
Li Rushan was stunned and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I don't know the situation.
It's useless to say anything now.
I can only go back to the palace first to find out the situation.
However, according to my theory, it is indeed impossible for my father to die of illness.
If this was really caused by poisoning, then the murderer could only be someone from my eldest brother. " Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li was stunned for a moment and said: "He can't really attack his father.
This is too shocking.
Someone can actually attack his biological father."
Li Rushan was silent for a while after hearing this, and said: "I'm not sure if he did it, but I know that with his character, he would definitely dare to do it.
For him, the throne is definitely more important than family ties, and he and his father are actually the most similar people
