The Imperial Palace was a very complicated place.
Normally, no one would notice the death of a few eunuchs or palace maids.
However, if it involved the emperor, princes, or concubines, no matter how small it was, it would spread throughout the entire palace.
Very few people knew that Li Ke wanted to sever his father-son relationship with the Emperor and voluntarily leave the Imperial Palace.
However, in a short afternoon after it happened, the entire palace already knew about it and was spreading it.
"Do you think the King of Shu, Li Ke, is stupid?”
"What King of Shu? He should be the poor Li Ke now.”
"Hahaha, that's true. Once you sever your father-son relationship with His Majesty, you're no longer a prince.”
"Li Ke is absolutely stupid. He actually took the initiative to sever his father-son relationship with His Majesty. He will regret it in the future.”
"Do you think Consort Yang Shu will also be hated by His Majesty and eventually fall out of favor?”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so the position of Consort Yang Shu of the four concubines will soon change hands?”
Xianling Palace.
Li Ke's mother, Concubine Yang Shufei.
Consort Yang Shu fainted the moment she heard the news.
When she woke up, her face was pale and her tears were rolling down her cheeks.
"Send all the money in the palace to Ke 'er. Tell him that even if his mother dies, she will seek justice for him.”
Consort Yang Shu wept silently, her eyes filled with endless hatred.
She endured her grief and struggled to get up. She personally packed up the clothes that Li Ke had left with her and asked the palace maid to bring them out for Li Ke.
Concubines in the palace were not allowed to enter and leave the palace without the emperor's permission.
At this moment, Consort Yang Shu did not want to beg Li Er. She only had hatred for him in her heart.
Outside the palace.
The news of Li Ke and Li Er severing their father-son relationship also spread.
All the higher-ups in Chang 'an thought they had misheard, and only after confirming it again and again did they dare to believe it.
The news was too shocking.
Cutting ties with the emperor was even crueler than being sentenced to death.
Without the status of a prince, he would fall from the high heavens to the mortal world.
From then on, no one respected him or gave him face.
"The King of Shu, Li Ke, is clearly not a stupid person. How could he do such a stupid thing?”
"What exactly happened in the Imperial Palace that His Majesty would allow his own prince to stoop so low?”
"Be quiet. This is His Majesty's family matter. As officials, we shouldn't discuss it too much.”
Zhangsun Manor.
At the home of the Minister of Personnel, Zhangsun Wuji.
The family had a meeting because of Li Ke.
"The Crown Prince has sent a letter, asking you juniors to 'take care' of Li Ke when you are free.”
Zhangsun Wuji said calmly.
As an old fox, he knew at the first moment that Li Chengqian did not leave the palace to avoid suspicion.
Moreover, Li Ke's voluntary departure from the Imperial Palace and severing ties with the Emperor was definitely related to Li Chengqian.
However, these were the matters of the younger generation. As the Minister of Personnel, an important official of the court, he disdained to participate in these matters.
"Father, don't worry. We will make it difficult for Li Ke to move in Chang 'an.”
"I'll give the order later so that he won't be able to buy a house in Chang 'an. No one will even sell him food.”
"It's just that this child doesn't understand. Why does Crown Prince cousin hate Li Ke so much?”
The eldest son, Zhangsun Chong, asked in confusion.
As the eldest son, Zhangsun Chong interacted the most with Li Chengqian.
Ever since he was young, Zhangsun Chong knew that Li Chengqian hated Li Ke.。
However, every time he asked Li Chengqian, the other party would be as angry as if he had lost his mind and could not get an answer.
"It's better for you not to know about this.”
"Go down. Remember, when you target Li Ke, you can't let him be seriously injured, and you can't let him die.”
Zhangsun Wuji did not answer Zhangsun Chong's question.
He waved his hand and let Zhangsun Chong and his children leave the study.
The study room was very hot, and he did not want to hold a childish meeting for so long.
In the eyes of an old fox like Zhangsun Wuji, Li Ke was just an unremarkable splash.
"Alright, I'll leave now."
Zhangsun Chong and the others left, and the meeting ended.
The nobles in Chang 'an City had a lot of discussions about Li Ke's departure from the palace.
The commoners at the bottom did not know about this for the time being. No one dared to take the initiative to expose the news to the commoners at the bottom.
It was a matter of the royal family's face. Without the approval of His Majesty, the consequences of speaking nonsense would be very serious.
However, all the influential people in Chang 'an City knew about it, which caused a great uproar.
Without exception, everyone thought that Li Ke was stupid.
Many people were waiting to see Li Ke become a joke in Chang 'an.
No one had made a move against Li Ke yet, but many people were ready to watch the show.
......
On the other side.
After Li Ke left the palace, he entered a luxurious mansion in Chang 'an.
This mansion was very large and luxurious. Li Ke had spent a lot of money to buy it a month ago.
That's right, a month ago, Li Ke had been planning his residence and life after leaving the palace.
Li Ke placed a large bundle in his hand on the ground. It was given to him by a maid of the Xianling Palace after leaving the palace.
He had wanted to refuse, but when he heard Consort Yang Shu's words, he sighed in his heart and took it back.
After settling down, he entered the backyard. Receive the Newbie Gift Pack!
Weng!
Clouds and mist appeared out of thin air in the backyard that was more than 20 square meters.
In the clouds, figures appeared one after another, accompanied by flashes of lightning.
In a trance, Li Ke saw seven figures take shape, each of them emitting a terrifying aura.
After a long while, the clouds slowly dissipated, revealing seven people. The terrifying aura on their bodies also dissipated.
The seven of them had long swords on their waists. Each of them wore a mask, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
One of them was a woman with a hot and seductive figure!
"Greetings, Master!"
The seven of them knelt down on one knee, their voices as cold as machines.
"Stand up!"
"Do you have a name?"
Li Ke's gaze swept across the seven people kneeling on the ground.
He had a strange feeling that these seven people were rewarded by the system. They didn't look like humans, but they weren't machines either. They had no emotions.
"No, please name it, Master!"
The seven people's mechanical voices sounded.
"From the left, you will be called Dragon One, Dragon Two, Dragon Three, and Dragon Seven.”
Li Ke was silent for a moment and gave them a satisfactory name.
"Thank you for the name, Master!"
The seven of them thanked him respectfully. There was a hint of emotion in their voices, and they no longer responded mechanically like before.
"Yes, you can all disperse first."
Li Ke nodded and waved his hand to let them leave.
"Master, there are people outside the residence who want to spy on this place. Should we chase them away?”
Dragon One said respectfully.
"Someone's there?"
"If they don't enter the mansion, then ignore them. If they dare to enter, throw them out.”
Li Ke was stunned at first, but he quickly recovered.
As expected of a top-notch expert. He could actually sense that someone was spying on him from dozens of meters away without even looking.
With them around, his safety was guaranteed.
Next, he had to consider the issue of the Great Monopoly System's mission.
The rewards were very good. He also wanted to make money, so why not take the path of monopoly?
However, where should he start?
Li Ke began to ponder.
Not long after, the corners of Li Ke's mouth curled up, revealing a charming smile.
He thought of a monopoly industry that would definitely be popular in Chang 'an.
At that time, all the nobles in Chang 'an, even the crown prince and emperor of the palace, would come to him to sell it!
