When Li Yan saw this scene, he thought Wu Minzhi was no longer at home.

Just as he was secretly wondering why Empress Wu didn't explain it to him and let him run in vain, he saw a group of guards running out in front of him and blocking him.

He saw many acquaintances, such as Zhang Huan and Xu Hong, the imperial guards from the incident of the haunted palace, but they were not squinting at this time and did not make eye contact at all.

Soon, a tall man stood out from the crowd. Before he came in front of him, he shouted forcefully: "Dou Jing, the prince here is washing horses. What is Li Wuwei doing here?"

Li Yan bowed and said, "I have seen Dou Xima."

Prince Xima is the prince's attendant officer. There are two people from the fifth rank. He is the guide when the prince travels. He is also in charge of the collection of classics and histories of the East Palace and the storage of journals and books in the Siku.

Obviously this Dou Jing was not good at the latter. Kong Wu stood forward with his powerful body and said in a very unkind tone: "We are here to protect the witnesses involved in the case on the orders of His Royal Highness. Li Wuwei, please stay away if nothing happens."

This was because the prince had killed all the servants of the Duke of Zhou to prevent Empress Wu. Li Yan agreed with this in his heart.

Eunuch Gao immediately stepped forward and said: "Li Wuwei was ordered by the Queen to investigate the case of the haunting of Duke Zhou's mansion. How come nothing happened?"

Dou Jing's eyes widened: "Eunuch, you have no right to speak here, get out of here!"

Eunuch Gao's face turned red: "You! You!"

Li Yan looked at Dou Jing and was keenly aware of the expectation flickering in his eyes.

He had seen a lot of Empress Wu's methods, and when he saw this kind of trick, he was completely aware of it.

The other party did not refuse to give in. Dou Jing did not dare to disrespect the queen's order, but she hoped to cause a conflict with her group so that she could speak ill of him in front of the prince when he returned.

This is normal. The prince is no better than the emperor. There are only so many positions around him, one carrot and one pit.

In just a few days, Li Yan came to be valued by the prince. The other princelings were polite to him on the surface, but secretly they didn't know how to be wary of him.

Now that we are standing on the opposite side of the prince, why don't we quickly make a stumbling block?

Since the other party had evil intentions, Li Yan didn't waste any time, took out a book from his bag and started reading it on the spot.

"Don't say anything you don't want to say to avoid danger; don't do anything you don't want to do to avoid danger..."

"If you don't say what you shouldn't say, you can avoid disaster. If you don't do what you shouldn't do, you can avoid danger. It makes sense."

"This is "Chen Gui" given by the Queen of Heaven. Do you want to watch it with Dou Xima?"

Dou Jing: "..."

Is this okay?

His expression changed several times, and he plucked up the courage several times, but thinking about the ruthless woman who was about to become the Queen of Heaven, his momentum suddenly receded like a tide.

Finally, Dou Jing's people stepped aside and whispered:
