Li Yun looked at the "tiger" blocking his path and instinctively shot a look at Liu Ye.
'I've been framed!' Liu Ye screamed internally. Even if he were a hundred times bolder, he would never dare leak the Emperor's whereabouts. Besides, Taiji Palace was always heavily guarded. It was impossible for any outsider to spy on its goings-on.
'But recently, with the Emperor bedridden, hasn't the Crown Prince been visiting every day to attend to him? Given that, how could the Eastern Palace remain completely oblivious to the goings-on in Taiji Palace?'
'If anyone was to blame, it could only be that the Crown Prince was far too clever.'
At that moment, Li Yan spoke in a clear, crisp voice. "Father, you must take care of your health. Leaving the palace today will surely be inconvenient, so why not bring me with you? If you have any business to handle outside the palace, you can entrust it to me. Or, you could take me along, and whatever you need done, Father, you can have me see to it."
