After four or five days, Li Shimin came to the Eastern Palace to visit Li Chengqian again.
Seeing that Li Chengqian was already full of vigor, he finally felt relieved.
Out of Li Chengqian's expectations,
Second Imperial Father Li had given in!
He said to Li Chengqian earnestly," I don't care who you want to marry, but you must put this matter after you marry Sumen!”
Li Chengqian was surprised. Second Imperial Father Li actually allowed him to marry a merchant's daughter!
Naturally, he did not object.
However, he did not agree!
The specifics could only be decided after seeing Concubine Su.
He would never marry an ugly woman!
Li Shi Min then left.
Li Chengqian sneaked back to the Crown Prince's residence that night and told Qiu Wansu that she could walk around freely outside.
At the same time, he also tried a few new positions, causing Qiu Wansu to blush.
"You must enjoy life to the fullest. Don't let the golden cup face the moon empty!”He said proudly.
In the days that followed, Li Chengqian was grounded in the Eastern Palace.
Didn't Li Ke want to help him? Of course, his good brother had to come in handy!
He wanted Li Ke to find roses, aloes, orchids, and other flowers and plants. He also found pearls, fine salt, white milk, and so on from the palace.
"Brother, are you going to study flower arrangement?!”
Li Ke secretly sent over two carts of plants and asked Li Chengqian in confusion.
Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously.”
Half a month had passed, and Chang 'an Fortress was peaceful.
This was only the surface.
The Crown Prince who was grounded had too many things to do!
This bloody storm would never stop until they dug up the bones!
It was late at night, and the lights in the Eastern Palace were dim.
A black-robed figure appeared from the darkness between the curtains, without a sound.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, Young Lady Qiu's father has been found!”
The man in black knelt down towards Li Chengqian and cupped his fists in a low voice.
Li Chengqian was wearing soft silk pajamas. With his back facing the secret guard, he said softly,
"It took so long to investigate. It doesn't seem that simple…"
"Not bad!"
There was no change in the secret guard's expression." We originally thought that this matter was simple. Miss Qiu's father did not find anything suspicious! However, we unexpectedly found a Black Armored Army token among the trash in the kitchen! Today, he finally found out the origin of the token!”
"Loser? Could this token be related to Father Qiu?”
Although he asked this question, Li Chengqian most likely already had an answer in his heart.
The secret guard couldn't help but be moved, and said slightly excitedly,
"It's related to him! He…hid it so well!"
“……”
After hearing the secret guard's report, Li Chengqian's expression changed!
The report was truly shocking!
He really just happened to bump into her on the street. Who knew that Qiu Wansu had such a bizarre background!
He could really pick up gold just by walking!
Was he really the chosen one blessed by the heavens?!
It was simply godly!
"Does anyone else know about this?!”
Li Chengqian's black pupils constricted as he asked.
"Our discovery of this matter was purely coincidental, and we took the token at the first moment. I believe no one else knows!”
The secret guard was not sure, but he was quite sure.
Li Chengqian nodded and asked again," Is there anyone keeping an eye on Wansu these few days?”
The secret guard said," There was only one old woman who was acting suspiciously. After investigation, it was determined that she belonged to the Supreme Court.”
"Very good, you guys have done well!”
The Crown Prince's secret guards were impenetrable! Li Chengqian was not stingy with his praise!
He suspected that even the Emperor's secret guards weren't as outstanding as the Crown Prince's secret guards!
"Supreme Court…"
Li Chengqian frowned slightly, his calm expression swaying in the dim candlelight.
The curtain of the bedchamber was raised, and Li Chengqian was the only one left in the hall once again.
Two peaceful days passed. Once again, the court session began, and huge waves rose in the calm once again!
Li Chengqian was grounded in the Eastern Palace and did not go to court. At this moment, a eunuch rushed over and passed the Saint's order.
He ordered the Crown Prince to report to Taiji Palace immediately!
" What happened?!"
On the way, Li Chengqian asked the young eunuch.
The young eunuch shook his head. He was just a messenger and did not know the exact situation.
"Crown Prince, you have to be careful. It seems that His Majesty is furious!”he reminded carefully.
Li Chengqian nodded.
Soon, they arrived at the palace hall. The civil and military officials stood in rows, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
Every step Li Chengqian took, he had to endure this extremely heavy air.
He walked steadily to the front and crossed his fists.
"Greetings, Imperial Father. May I know what urgent matter you have for your son?”
"See for yourself! I don't have the face to say it!"
Li Shi Min threw down a memorial with a black face. He was obviously extremely angry.
Li Chengqian picked up the memorial. The surrounding officials did not dare to speak and stood there with their heads lowered.
The memorial wrote: Li Chengqian has the crime of deceiving the emperor, the crime of being immoral, and the crime of disobeying!
Each and every one of them was a shocking crime!
"The Qiu clan is no longer a virgin, how did the Supreme Court know?”
After Li Chengqian finished reading, his expression did not change as he asked.
Dali Zheng stood up and said," There's a woman in our department who has sharp eyes. A woman's chastity is obvious at a glance! If the Crown Prince thinks that she is mistaken, he can request a reexamination!”
Haha, so that's the case, there's naturally no need to recheck, Qiu Wansu is indeed not a virgin anymore.
Li Chengqian understood.
No wonder they had such a big lineup!
He had said in the court that he didn't touch Qiu Wansu, so the officials didn't pursue the crime of him snatching his daughter.
Now, wasn't this a slap in the face!
Moreover, it was an additional crime!
He had been so calm before, but in the end, it was a blatant lie!
Playing with everyone like they were fools!
No wonder Li Shiming was so furious…
"Do you have any objections to the contents of the memorial?”
Li Shi Min almost suppressed his voice. He actually didn't believe that Li Cheng Qian was lying.
Li Chengqian indeed did not lie previously. The crimes in the memorial could not be pinned on his head.
However, he couldn't confess that he had disobeyed the imperial edict and secretly ran out for a private meeting!
If Li Shiming knew about it now, he would only be angrier, adding fuel to the fire.
Li Chengqian could only remain silent.
This was a dead pit. It was useless even if he jumped in that direction.
In fact, the memorial of the Grand Secretary of State did not tell the whole truth.
This fellow's thoughts were sinister!
The woman's original words after reading it were that the flowers would bloom in less than half a month.
In other words, it only blossomed after Li Chengqian was grounded. The Crown Prince was indeed not lying in court at that time!
He didn't say a word about it.
Li Chengqian really wanted to thank him for not mentioning anything!
What would Li Shi Min think if he said it?
My son is in confinement for your Qiu clan, and you actually stole a man during this period?! How preposterous!
He would definitely think so!
If things really developed to that extent, the situation would only be even more difficult to deal with than now!
When he returned to the court, he saw that the Crown Prince was silent, and so were all the officials.
Da Lizheng laughed secretly." What an infatuated Crown Prince. He still wants to protect that slut. He's really possessed by the devil!"”
Li Shi Min was completely disappointed. His face was as dark as a big iron pot.
"Men, lock the Crown Prince in the imperial prison! Hand it over to the Supreme Court for interrogation. You'd better tell me everything clearly!”
Li Shi Min angrily slammed the table and shouted, veins popping out on his forehead.
All the officials were shocked and did not dare to plead for mercy.
As the saying goes, walking by the river often makes one's shoes wet!
Li Chengqian didn't regret it at all.
He suddenly thought it through." Forget it. It's good to just remove the position of Crown Prince like this. It's not to the extent of being demoted.”
He had originally wanted to peacefully remove the Crown Prince's position, but now it seemed that it was still too difficult.
He wouldn't be locked up for more than a few days.
His good brother was in a hurry. He would help him out soon!
When he came out, he probably wouldn't be the Crown Prince anymore.
……
At this moment, his good uncle Zhangsun Wuji stood up again!
However, he could not deny the iron crime of deceiving the emperor. He could only say,
"Your Majesty, leave the Crown Prince to me!”
Li Shiming narrowed his eyes." Will the auxiliary machinery be biased?”
"Of course not."
"Alright, then let the auxiliary engine handle it!”
Li Shi Min didn't delay and immediately agreed.
Soon, Li Chengqian was brought away.
No one in the court was in the mood to discuss political affairs anymore, and they quickly dispersed.
The Crown Prince was imprisoned!
This was no different from the sky collapsing!
The wind in the Imperial City was still blowing, so the officials quickly returned home!
Zhangsun Wuji walked straight to the imperial prison.
"Father!"
At this moment, his son Zhangsun Chong caught up from behind, panting heavily. His face was filled with slight anger.
"Father, why do you still care about that immoral Crown Prince?!”
Unexpectedly, Zhangsun Wuji snorted coldly!
"Ignorant child! If you knew who the father of the woman the Crown Prince brought back was, you wouldn't have said that!”
"Ah?"
Zhangsun Chong was stunned." Father…Father knows the inside story?”
"Then why didn't you say it directly in the imperial court?!”
He could not understand.
"Naturally, it's not the right time! The crown prince probably understood this point…If you have time, go to the crown prince's residence more often!”
After saying that, Zhangsun Wuji left.
Zhangsun Chong stood rooted to the ground, scratching his ears and cheeks.
Forget it! There were indeed too many things that he did not know. There was no room for him to get involved in this matter!
