In the manor of Weishui River, Li Chen was still fishing without moving, as if nothing had happened.
However, Li Qingquan, who was beside him, had a worried look on his face.
She couldn't help but say,
"You're in the suburbs, so you don't know how dangerous the situation in the Imperial City is!”
"A few days ago, my father went to the Crown Prince's place to drink. When he came back, he vomited a large basin of black blood and became much weaker.”
"Also, Fourth Uncle King Qi sent assassins to assassinate Yuchi Gong, and Imperial Grandfather transferred Fang Xuanling and the others away…Step by step, they are forcing Imperial Father into a dead end!”
"Mother Consort Zhangsun said…this time, the probability of our entire family being destroyed is more than 90%! That's why I came to the manor to look for you. You... Why don't you understand the painstaking effort involved?”
There was a hint of resentment in her words.
Not to mention her, even from the perspective of a bystander, she would feel that Li Chen did not know how to appreciate favors!
"Is that so…"
"Isn't it? Brother…you're really too stubborn…"
Li Qingquan frowned and whispered,
"Alright, stop talking." Li Chen interrupted her.
he said softly.
"I'm his enemy, but you're all my family! Can I just watch you die?”
Li Qingquan was slightly taken aback.
That's right.
Now that the Li family was in danger of being destroyed, how could he really act on impulse?
But why…
Li Chen looked at his only sister and said seriously,
"You just have to believe that with me around, you'll all be fine. Alright?"
"Do you believe Big Brother?"
"Big brother has always been very reliable.”
"Eldest Young Master, someone from the Imperial Palace has arrived. It's the fourth-rank chamberlain, Eunuch Zhang.”
Rank-4?
This was the Emperor's chamberlain, Li Yuan's close minister!
Interesting…
Li Qingquan stood up and went to the side room in the backyard.
"Invite Eunuch Zhang in."
"Eunuch, long time no see."
Li Chen stood up with a faint smile and greeted,
"How has Imperial Grandfather been recently?"
"Recently, His Majesty has been troubled, so he would like to invite Your Highness to Taiji Palace for a few rounds of private discussion to resolve the worries in his heart.”
"I wonder if Your Highness is free?"
Li Chen's heart skipped a beat.
From his memories, he knew that although he was the son of a concubine, he was very loved by Li Yuan, even more so than the Crown Prince's Di son, Li Chengdao, and the others.
Therefore, he often went to the palace to meet the emperor. Sometimes, Li Yuan would even deliberately nurture him to participate in politics.
And now, the situation in the Imperial City was tense and the Inheritance War was about to break out!
Li Yuan must have been annoyed by this matter.
However, as the son of the King of Qin, he should have kept a low profile and avoided suspicion. Why did Li Yuan summon him?
"Your Highness?"
"Oh……En, I'm sorry, Eunuch Zhang, I was a little distracted just now.”
Li Chen reacted and said,
"Alright, since Imperial Grandfather summoned me, I naturally have to enter the palace to share his worries.”
"Please wait a moment while I change into my robe.”
……
As the Prince of Luling, Li Chen naturally had the Prince's Crown.
He was handsome to begin with, and when he wore this tiara, he looked even more valiant and noble!
At the entrance of Taiji Palace.
"Hmm?"
Li Chen frowned slightly and said coldly,
"His Majesty has summoned him. Go and report it!"
A mere Imperial Army soldier dared to shout?
"Ah! It's the Prince of Luling."
The imperial guard trotted over and laughed.
"His Majesty said just now that if you come, you don't have to announce it and just enter the hall directly.”
"These two newcomers are insensible. Don't take it to heart.”
He turned to look at the two Imperial Army soldiers and shouted,
"Are you blind? Even His Royal Highness doesn't recognize him! I'll punish you with a month's salary!"
The two Imperial Army soldiers trembled, not daring to make another sound.
"This is my duty. There's no need to punish me.”
The two new Imperial Army soldiers hurriedly bowed to Li Chen's back and expressed their gratitude. They had a good impression of the Prince of Luling.
……
"Playing chess with a bad chess player, the more you play, the worse it gets!”
Before he even entered the hall, he heard Li Yuan's furious roar.
A eunuch who was originally sitting in front of him was now kneeling on the ground with his butt up in fear.
"Your chess skills are really terrible!”
Li Yuan was a middle-aged man with a rather dignified expression. He was wearing the bright yellow emperor's uniform. His every move had the aura of an emperor.
When he reprimanded people, it was also very enlightening.
Clack clack.
Li Chen walked into the hall and picked up the black and white chess pieces on the ground. He chuckled and said,"
"Imperial Grandfather, why do you have to be angry with the Imperial Attendants? Their greatest ability in this life is to serve you well. Do you want them to be chess pieces and wait for the imperial edict?”
He naturally walked up to Li Yuan and sat down on his knees in place of the servant who was being blamed.
"Chen 'er, you're here?"
When Li Yuan saw that it was him, he immediately beamed and said,
He turned to look at the servants and scolded impatiently,
"Are you blind? Hurry up and serve the King of Luling!"
