"Cousin, it's only been a few months since we last met. How did your temper become so big?”
At this moment, along with the creaking sound of the door being pushed open, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan in astonishment. He was delighted.
"Brother Divine Power, Brother Divine Talisman, Xiaogong, Degui, when did you come to Chang 'an?”
Li Shentong smiled and said,"I came early in the morning last night."”
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji stood up and looked at Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan, who were standing behind them. They could not hide the disappointment on their faces.
If Hejian Prince Li Xiaogong had arrived earlier, Prince Qin's plan would have been a complete success. After today, he would be the one sitting on the throne.
The opposite was also true. The Prince of Lujiang County had arrived early, and the one sitting on the throne after today was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng.
His father's trusted aides, Li Shentong and Li Shenfu, rushed over immediately and brought Li Yuan back to the palace. Then, everything would go back to normal.
The three of them were disappointed but also rejoiced. At least this result was not too bad.
Li Yuan nodded slightly and glanced at Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan. He could guess the reason why they had followed them. However, with Li Shentong and Li Shenfu around, they could not cause any trouble.
Li Shenfu looked at Li Yuan, Li Chengjian, Li Er, and Li Yuanji and said,""Cousin, I haven't seen you for a few months. You've changed a lot.”
"Do you even need to say that?" Li Yuan said angrily. You'll be like this if you starve yourself for a day."
“？？？”
Li Shenfu was stunned for a moment. Why are you so listless? Are you hungry?
Li Chengdao locked you up in King Qin's Mansion and didn't even give you food? He didn't look so wicked. How did he starve for an entire day?
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Li Yuan looked at them with a deep gaze and asked,""Did something happen in court today?”
Li Shentong thought of his experience in the morning court and nodded.
"What nonsense." Li Yuan said hatefully," I knew that once I left the court, there would be a huge mess. Follow me back to the palace first."”
"..." Li Shenfu was silent for a few seconds before he said faintly,""Cousin, why are you going back to the palace?"
Li Yuan was stunned." Why do you want to go back to the palace? Why am I here? Don't you know why I am here?"”
Li Shenfu pondered for a while and said,"Cousin thinks that it's actually quite good for you to live in King Qin's Mansion. What do you think, Big Brother?"”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Shentong.
Li Shentong forced himself to laugh dryly." Cousin, Divine Talisman's words make sense. How can the Imperial Palace be as free as King Qin's Mansion?"”
"..." Li Yuan sized up the two of them and figured out something from their words."Didn't you come to King Qin's Mansion to bring me back to the palace?”
"His Majesty said so." "The four of us haven't seen you for a few months, so you asked us to come over and catch up with you."”
"Wait! Speak clearly!" Li Yuan glared at him." What Your Majesty? Where did the other Emperor come from? Zhen is the Emperor of the Great Tang!"
" It's like this..." Li Shentong opened his mouth and finally told him everything that had happened in the past two days.
Li Yuan listened to him in a daze and gasped.""You mean that you were all taken care of by that kid Chengdao when you entered the palace today?”
Li Shentong nodded with a bitter smile.
Not only was he beaten up, he even knelt down to him. Otherwise, how could he have survived to come to Prince Qin's residence to reminisce about the past?
Li Shenfu laughed bitterly." Cousin, you don't know. Chengdao is really powerful. He knows better than us how many people we have brought. He even invited our elite family to Chang 'an City first.”
"Cousin, tell me, how can we still serve the king?”
"At that time, if we really wanted to take down the imperial grandson by force, cousin, do you believe that the elites we brought would change sides and stand on the side of the imperial grandson?”
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji had ugly expressions. From their words, the three of them understood that not only did the Eastern Palace and King Qin's Mansion think tanks fail, but even the old officials of the Imperial Court, Pei Ji, and the others had failed!
In other words, the four of them would continue to be locked up in King Qin's residence.
Li Yuan was furious when he heard that." Where's my good grandson? He locked me up in Prince Qin's mansion for two days and the throne is already secured. Why isn't he coming to see me?”
"I knew Cousin would say this.”Li Shentong's gaze was strange." Cousin, the eldest grandson asked me to bring you a message. He said that he also misses you very much, but there is a saying that the two dragons don't meet each other. He wants to avoid suspicion."”
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
"The two dragons won't meet? Do you mean that in the future, he will live in his Taiji Palace and I will live in King Qin's Mansion? Was he avoiding suspicion? He was clearly afraid that I would scold him, so he didn't dare to come and see me!!”
Creak--
At this moment, Yu Huatian suddenly opened the door and looked at the few people in the courtyard."Your Majesty, Your Highnesses and Commandery Princes, what would you like to have for lunch?”
Li Yuan was already filled with anger. He turned around and said angrily,"Do you think I can eat now?!”
Bang! Yu Huatian did not hesitate to retreat out of the manor and shut the door. He then wrapped the chains around the door a few times before turning around and leaving.
“……”
Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan looked at him in shock. So you're starving like this?
You f * cking deserve it.
Li Yuan's voice trembled." Who is this person? How did he become a guard? I was just speaking out of anger. Can't he tell?”
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji were in despair. Would it kill you to say the word 'eaten'?
Li Shentong did not know whether to laugh or cry as he cupped his hands and said,"Cousin, we won't stay any longer. I'll come to see you again the next time I come to Chang 'an.”
Li Shenfu, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan bowed to him, Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji at the same time. Then, they followed behind Li Shentong and left quickly after the door opened.
Li Yuan watched them leave and turned back to look at the disappointed Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji. He said in disappointment,"
"It's good now, right? There's no need to fight anymore. That kid Chengdao is firmly sitting on the throne, and Zhen no longer has to worry about the three of you disappointing things!”
"Imperial Father, are you so willing to be the Retired Emperor?" Li Yuanji said indignantly.”
Li Er said in a deep voice," That's right, Imperial Father. You're in the prime of your life now. The Great Tang was established from your hands. The imperial court can't do without you!"”
Li Jiancheng said solemnly," Father, Second Brother is right. Chengdao is only eight years old. How can he govern the world well? Only in your hands can the world be peaceful!”
"What do you have in mind?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.”
Li Er glanced in the direction of the door and whispered,""The first thing we should do now is to think about how to leave this place. As long as we get outside, as long as Father appears, won't all the civil and military officials listen to Father obediently?”
"Therefore, escaping from King Qin's Mansion is of utmost importance!”
