"Brother Crown Prince, can you bring me along for the next barbecue?”
"This is the best roast meat I've ever eaten!”
Just as they were about to leave, Li Zhi looked at Li Chengqian and begged.
She did not know if he could not bear to part with the roasted meat or Wu Meiniang…
Li Chengqian didn't refuse and waved his hand generously.
"Alright, I'll definitely call you when I have an event next time!”
After saying that, Li Chengqian left with Wu Meiniang and the palace servants.
Li Zhi reluctantly returned to his bedroom.
Wei Zheng escorted the relief grain to various places in the pass and quickly stabilized the situation before returning to the capital.
When Li Ergang heard the news of Wei Zheng returning to the capital, he immediately summoned him into the palace after reporting his work.
In the royal study.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Er in front of him with a dumbfounded expression. That impatient look made Wei Zheng feel uneasy and somewhat uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, why did you call me here in such a hurry?”
Wei Zheng thought to himself that he did not even go home. After running to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, he immediately entered the palace.
Looking at Wei Zheng, Li Er had been waiting for a long time.
Li Er had been brooding over what Li Xiaogong, the Hejian King, had said when he returned from the Eastern Palace.
Li Er wanted to go to the Eastern Palace to ask Li Chengqian many times, but he couldn't wipe away his face.
Finally, Wei Zheng, the scapegoat, came back. Li Er did not want to wait any longer.
"Minister Wei has worked hard this time. It's actually not a big deal to summon you into the palace…"
"I want you to go to the Eastern Palace to ask about the situation in Hedong Road…"
"Are there locust plagues and plagues?”
Wei Zheng, who was originally calm, was instantly stunned when he heard the words locust plague and plague!
Like a bolt from the blue, he was completely dumbfounded!
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Wei Zheng's mind was racing. He wondered what had happened during the time he left the capital.
A snowstorm had already caused the entire court to be in a terrible state, and now there was a plague of locusts?
If this was true, Wei Zheng began to feel afraid.
Seeing Wei Zheng's performance, Li Er felt a little comforted.
After all, when Li Er heard these words from Li Xiaogong, he was also shocked.
Li Er didn't hide anything. He briefly told Li Xiaogong about how he went to the Eastern Palace to 'consult' Li Chengqian before he set off for Hedong Road.
After hearing that, Wei Zheng looked at Li Er with a strange gaze.
He thought to himself, why did this old fellow develop the habit of looking for the Crown Prince for no reason?
Can't you have some opinions?
However, what surprised Wei Zheng even more was that Li Chengqian actually " predicted " that there would be a locust plague and plague in Hedong Road?
These words were not only shocking, but they were also somewhat heresy.
If it were anyone else who said this, Wei Zheng would definitely not believe it.
But the person who said this was Crown Prince Li Chengqian, so Wei Zheng was already 70 - 80% sure in his heart.
At this moment, Wei Zheng seemed to understand why Li Er was so anxious to summon him into the palace.
Clearly, he was sent to the Eastern Palace to find out what was going on!
Wei Zheng agreed without hesitation.
After learning of this matter, even if Li Er did not let him go, Wei Zheng could not help but go to Li Chengqian to ask about it!
"Your Majesty, I understand!"
"I will make a trip to the Eastern Palace and ask the Crown Prince about it…"
Wei Zheng bowed and left.
Li Er, on the other hand, was looking forward to it in the royal study. He was even a little excited!
This matter had been in his heart for a long time, and he could finally see the truth.
Wei Zheng came out of the royal study and went straight to the Eastern Palace.
Li Chengqian had just finished his lunch and was pacing in the courtyard. He was about to return to his bedroom and hug Wu Meiniang for an afternoon nap.
Hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard. A familiar figure soon appeared at the entrance of the palace.
"I, Wei Zheng, pay my respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
Li Chengqian was surprised to see Wei Zheng.
The two of them had not seen each other for many days. Li Chengqian also knew that Wei Zheng had left the capital for disaster relief.
He just didn't expect Wei Zheng to come back so soon and even specially come to look for him.
He thought to himself,'Isn't this old fellow going home?'
"Come in and talk!"
Li Chengqian called Wei Zheng to walk into the hall.
As soon as Li Chengqian sat down, Wei Zheng asked impatiently.
"Your Highness, how did you know about the locust plague and plague in the east of the river?”
"Could it be your guess, Your Highness?"
When he heard Wei Zheng mention this matter, Li Chengqian was a little surprised. How did the other party know?
But soon, Li Chengqian remembered that when Li Xiaogong came to him to 'consult' him, he said that Wei Zheng introduced him.
From the looks of it, it was not impossible for Li Xiaogong to tell Wei Zheng the contents of the conversation after he left.
Li Chengqian no longer asked Wei Zheng how he knew, but fell into deep thought.
After discussing this topic with Li Xiaogong, Wu Meiniang's words reminded Li Chengqian to be careful with his words.
At least there were some things that could not be said. Otherwise, it would not only cause panic but also suspicion.
