It is very likely that Li Chengqian wants to kill Li Tai.

Li Shimin's heirs could only be selected from the legitimate sons, with only three legitimate sons, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi. Even if the other princes are excellent, they will never have the possibility of inheriting the throne.

For example, King Li Ke of Wu, who has literary and military strategies, is definitely the best among the princes, but so what? He is not a legitimate son, and he is also covered with the blood of the Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty, so it is absolutely impossible for him to inherit the throne.

Among the three legitimate sons, Li Chengqian's inferiority complex became increasingly stronger, just like a wolf dog protecting food, he would never allow others to take away his position as the crown prince. Li Zhi was young and would not make Li Chengqian too afraid, but Li Tai's ability and reputation made Li Chengqian feel pressure.

So it is a good idea to get rid of this younger brother.

But Lin Xiu felt that although Li Chengqian became impatient, he was not stupid. If something happened to King Wei, who is the most suspicious? It must be him. If a little evidence is exposed to prove that he is suspected, then Li Shimin will never let him go.

Li Shimin took the throne by killing his brother and killing his brother, and he was very afraid and disgusted with his children taking this path. Since Li Chengqian failed to rebellion in his previous life, Li Shimin did not pass the throne to Li Tai, but to Li Zhi, which shows that Li Shimin does not want his children to fight each other and break off family affection.

Li Chengqian also has a confidant adviser around him, so it is impossible not to remind him of this.

So Lin Xiu doubted Wang Xuefei's confession, and the confession was too direct. This woman is a cunning vixen and must be vigilant.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiu asked, "Since you obeyed Li Chengqian's instructions, how did you contact him?"

"Your Excellency, I only know that Cihang Jianzhai and Li Chengqian cooperate, and wait for Li Chengqian to take the throne to make Cihang Jianzhai a name. But I don't know how to contact him!" After Wang Xuefei said that, she was afraid that Lin Xiu would not believe it, so she continued to explain: "Your Excellency, I am just an ordinary disciple of Cihang Jianzhai. I hide in the Duke of E's Mansion in disguise. I don't know many secrets. If you don't believe it, I can tell you the other Cihang Jianzhai members hiding in Chang'an City. You can catch them and verify my words!"

Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is the member of Cihang Jianzhai hidden in the city?"

Wang Xuefei said: "This person is one of the elders of Cihang Jianzhai, named Duan Xiaoyan, and Duan Xuefu's elder sister! If you can capture her, wouldn't the effect be better?"

When Lin Xiu nodded when she heard Wang Xuefei telling Duan Xiaoyan's identity, she secretly believed that she did not lie. This was equivalent to temptation. If Wang Xuefei concealed Duan Xiaoyan's identity, it would prove that this woman had ulterior motives.

"Your Excellency, now I have been hit by the poison of the Heartbreak Pill. In order to survive, I dare not disobey your orders. Please save my life. Although I am just a woman, it is still useful." Wang Xuefei looked pitiful and pleaded quickly.

Lin Xiu had no intention of taking her life, and it was indeed useful to keep it.

"Okay! I will verify what you said! If it is the truth, I will give you some antidotes to avoid the attack of Heartbreak Pill, but as long as there is a place to lie, then you can taste the pain of heartbreak." Lin Xiu warned.

Wang Xuefei quickly saluted.

Lin Xiu looked at her figure and couldn't help but remind him: "It's cold at night, put on your clothes."

After saying that, Lin Xiu turned around and left.

Only Wang Xuefei was left in the house.

Instead of calling for help, she continued to sit in the bathtub and continued to take a bath. It seemed that Lin Xiu's sudden appearance did not affect his elegant pleasure.

...

Lin Xiu returned to Fang Mansion to rest, and said nothing all night.

The next day, Lin Xiu and Fang Xuanling went to the Imperial College for class. During class, a group of personal guards suddenly broke in.

"Who is Lin Xiu?" a personal guard shouted sternly.

The doctor instructor said angrily: "Who are you? You dare to trespass the Imperial College! Get out!"

The personal guard reveals his identity.

When the doctor instructor saw that it was the Eastern Palace guard, he calmed down a little anger, but he still asked, "Why are you here to find Lin Xiu?"

Lin Xiu had already stood up and looked at Li Dejian beside him, and Li Dejian shook his head.

There must be a reason why the Eastern Palace’s personal guards trespassed into the Imperial College, otherwise Li Chengqian would not have let his personal guards be so arrogant. Obviously, it is definitely not a friendly matter for Li Chengqian to send people to find Lin Xiu now.

Li Dejian shook his head and said he didn't know. It seemed that Li Chengqian had hidden it from him.

"I am Lin Xiu, why are you looking for me?" Lin Xiu asked.

The guard said coldly: "Mr. Zhang Xuansu, the young master of Zhan Shifu, was found to die suddenly at home. After being tested by the pharmacist, it was caused by taking the Taoist golden elixir you provided. Lord Zhang is the teacher of His Highness the Prince. His Highness respects Lord Zhang very much. Now he is killed. The prince is heartbroken, so he ordered us to come and investigate the case. Please rest assured that the prince is just trying to find out the truth and not let Lord Zhang die tragically, nor will he accuse the good man, nor will he let the criminals go to justice!"

Lin Xiu raised her eyebrows and looked surprised. Zhang Xuansu was actually dead? This was beyond his expectations.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiu immediately understood that this was a game, and the Taoist golden elixir he provided was absolutely fine, so why did Zhang Xuansu die? Obviously, this was a trick of killing two birds with one stone.

Lin Xiu immediately thought that this was Li Chengqian's conspiracy, because Li Chengqian in his previous life sent someone to assassinate his teacher!

"The court will investigate the cause of Zhang Xuansu's death, and it's not the turn of the East Palace to come forward. The prince is concerned that Lord Zhang can understand, and I forgive me for not leaving you!" Lin Xiu immediately refused.

Fang Yiai shouted: "That's right! Dali Temple or Jinwu Guard will investigate, where is your turn to come here to get people? Get out!"

The personal guard said coldly: "Lin County Man, we are for your own good!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for me! Since I am suspicious, I can't leave you. What will others think if it is spread out?" Lin Xiu flatly refused.

The guard nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then we will go back and report!"

Immediately, a group of personal guards left the Imperial College.

Lin Xiu watched them leave and looked back at the doctoral and other students in the teaching class. Everyone had a look of suspicion on their faces.

Li Chengqian clearly knew that Lin Xiu could not leave the East Palace guards, so why did he do this forever?

Performance and frame-up.

Through this performance, he showed his concern for Zhang Xuansu and his attitude of respecting his teachers and respecting the Tao. As for the frame-up, he involved Zhang Xuansu's death on Lin Xiu, so that when Dali Temple or Jinwu Guard investigated, he would never let Lin Xiu go.

In fact, Lin Xiu is indeed suspicious, but it is just a suspicion. Although the Taoist golden elixir was provided by Lin Xiu, whoever can be sure that the Taoist golden elixir is poisonous?

If you know it is poisonous in advance, you will definitely not eat it.

If you don’t know it’s poisonous in advance, how can you be sure that the cause of death is the Taoist golden elixir?

There is no advanced laboratory test method in this era, so it is impossible to confirm that Lin Xiu was poisoned.

But after the prince's quarrel, the investigation's government office would have preconceived ideas and think that Lin Xiu was suspected.

Then, Lin Xiu took a leave of absence to the doctoral teaching class and returned home.

At the same time, the sudden death of Zhang Xuansu was also reported to Li Shimin, who ordered Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly.

As the chief of Dali Temple, after receiving the order, Sun Fujia immediately arranged for the bad guy to start an investigation. The coroner checked the cause of Zhang Xuansu's death, which was caused by poisoning. Then he asked Zhang Xuansu's newly married wife. After learning that everything was normal after Zhang Xuansu finished supper, he was still ready to take Taoist golden elixir when he was about to rest, and then he was poisoned.

The newly married wife insisted that it was a problem with Taoist golden elixir, and the bad people naturally attached it to it, so they immediately began to investigate where Zhang Xuansu's Taoist golden elixir came from.

At this moment, Sun Fujia heard about the news that the Eastern Palace’s personal guards broke into the Imperial College. The reason was that the Taoist golden elixir that Zhang Xuansu took was given by Lin Xiu.

In this way, Lin Xiu became the first suspect.

But Sun Fujia did not sloppyly take people directly, or even disturb Lin Xiu.

The commander in charge of the bad people was named Lu Fei, who was the middle-aged master Lin Xiu encountered when he visited Dali Temple at night.

I heard Lu Fei ask, "Sir, Lin Xiu is the first suspect. Why don't you ask him to return to the yamen with a humble position?"

"Never do not!" Sun Fujia refused flatly.

Lu Feize said: "But the prince has sent an official from the Eastern Palace to urge him!"

"The saint handed over the investigation to Dali Temple, so I must be very cautious. Let me ask you, can you prove that Zhang Xuansu was poisoned to death because of Taoist golden elixir? What if Zhang Xuansu took other poisons before taking Taoist golden elixir?" asked Sun Fujia.

Lu Fei nodded and said, "Indeed, the existing evidence cannot prove that Lin Xiu is the murderer, but he is indeed suspicious. Bei Zhi just wants to invite him to come and ask. Are you worried about Fang Xiang?"

Sun Fujia smiled and said, "No! Although Fang Xiang and I are not close friends, we have a mutual understanding and Fang Xiang is open-minded. If my son really commits crimes, he will never shelter you. I don't want you to invite Lin Xiu because I don't want Dali Temple to talk. I have my own ideas about this and tell everyone not to act rashly."

"I understand!" Although Lu Fei didn't know what Sun Fujia was worried about, he respected and admired him very much. After all, he was a poor family and could not believe that he could become a minister of the Dali Temple by entering the imperial examination.

After Lu Fei retreated, Sun Fujia directly claimed to have a disease and refused to see guests.

In the evening, the news of Zhang Xuansu's murder was intentionally spread, and Lin Xiu's suspicion became increasingly serious.

Fang Xuanling heard about it during the day, but he did not rush to find Lin Xiu and handled official duties as usual, without any concern.

Because Fang Xuanling understood that someone was designing to frame Lin Xiu, and there was no evidence to identify Lin Xiu, so what should Fang Xuanling worry about?

Fang Xuanling, who was due to pay, returned to the mansion and only saw Lin Xiu during dinner. The two moved to an uninhabited place.

Fang Xuanling asked, "What's going on with Zhang Xuansu?"
