Desperate Zhangsun Wugou
Zhangsun Wugou heard the commotion and walked out of the room. When he saw Li Chengdao, his face immediately turned pale. He immediately protected Li Chengqian behind him and said to Li Chengdao as if he was facing a great enemy,"What do you want?"
Even though she tried her best to hide it and not let herself be too afraid.
However, he couldn't hide his fear of Li Chengdao from the depths of his heart.
The two people who followed Zhangsun Wugou out were Li Ke's mother, Concubine Yang, and Li Shimin's eldest daughter, Li Lizhi.
Their performance was even worse than Zhangsun Wugou's.
He was so frightened that he almost lost his balance.
Li Chengdao's actions in the Heavenly Policy Prefecture had left a deep shadow in the hearts of these survivors. In their eyes, Li Chengdao was a demon!
In the days since they came to Xingyang, their hearts had been filled with fear.
They had a feeling that one day, Li Chengdao would come and kill them with a knife.
Now, Li Chengdao, who had ignored them for a few days, appeared before them again.
They subconsciously thought that it was time for them to die.
Seeing their violent reactions, the corners of Li Chengdao's mouth curled into a faint sneer.
He said,"I was just passing by and came in to see my cousins. There is no need for you two to be so afraid."”
Although Li Chengdao said so, Zhangsun Wugou, Concubine Yang, and Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi, the two six or seven-year-old children, were still tensed up.
The way he looked at Li Chengdao was filled with wariness and fear.
Under Zhangsun Wugou's terrified gaze, Li Chengdao touched Li Lizhi's hair bun.
"Xingyang is not like the capital, and the Zheng Mansion is not like the Tiance Mansion.
If the two aunts and cousins are not used to living here, feel free to tell me.
Of course, if there was anything he needed, he could also ask.
After all, we're family."
As he spoke, he revealed two rows of white teeth and smiled brightly.
But even so, Zhangsun Wugou and the others were still unable to let down their guard.
"Thank you for your kindness, Commandery Prince of Anlu.”
"Well, it's good that you're not used to it.
If there is, don't be polite, lest people say that I am not close to family like that traitor Li Shimin.
After all, this is not good for my reputation.”
After Li Chengdao finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
But halfway through, he suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at Zhangsun Wugou and the others, who were shivering." Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you guys.
I am not the Prince of Anlu Prefecture, but the grandson of the Emperor, the heir to the throne.
The next time they met, he hoped that his two aunties and his younger brothers and sisters would be able to bow to him.
After all, even if they were relatives, etiquette could not be abandoned.”
Imperial grandson!
Upon hearing these three words, Zhangsun Wugou and Concubine Yang looked at each other.
They could see a hint of despair in each other's eyes.
Li Chengdao being made the imperial grandson meant that the possibility of Li Shiming rescuing them was even lower.
It also meant that Li Shiming had Li Chengdao on his path to the throne.
Just as Li Chengdao stepped out of the courtyard's threshold and the Crown Prince's guards were about to close the courtyard's door...
Zhangsun Wugou couldn't help but shout,"Wait a moment.”
Li Chengdao stopped and asked with a smile,""What's the matter, auntie?”
Looking at Li Chengdao's harmless and handsome face, Zhangsun Wugou suppressed the fear in his heart. He gritted his teeth and mustered his courage to say,"
"Your Highness had previously agreed with the King of Qin to let us go once we are out of Chang 'an and in a safe place.
Now, His Highness had come to Xingyang, which was thousands of miles away from Chang 'an. With the protection of the Zheng family of Xingyang, it could be said that he was very safe.
May I ask when Your Highness plans to let us leave?”
"Whether or not I let my two aunts and younger siblings go depends on my mood." Li Chengdao said lightly.
But today, I received a letter from the traitor Li Shimin, who wanted to transfer me to Youzhou under the name of Imperial Grandfather's imperial edict.
Therefore, I'm in a very bad mood. You can't leave for the time being.”
When Zhangsun Wugou and the others heard this, they immediately felt despair.
At this moment, Li Chengqian, who was hiding behind Zhangsun Wugou, suddenly shouted,""My father is not a traitor!
On the contrary, it was not a gentleman's behavior to break the promise.
How can you be worthy of the title of grand grandson with such virtue?”
When Li Chengqian finished speaking, Zhangsun Wugou and Concubine Yang were instantly scared witless.
Zhangsun Wugou hurriedly covered Li Chengqian's mouth to stop him from speaking nonsense.
He was afraid that Li Chengqian would kill Li Chengqian in a fit of anger.
Li Chengdao looked at Li Chengqian with a smile that was not a smile. Then, he snorted coldly and said,"
"For the sake of the imperial power, Li Shi Min initiated the Black Tortoise Sect mutiny and killed his brother and forced his father. How can he not be a traitor?
Break the promise? Haha, I am the grandson of the Great Tang.
Your father, Li Shimin, is a traitor. What right does he have to talk about faith with me?”
Li Chengqian was still not convinced. He struggled to break free from Zhangsun Wugou, his eyes glaring fiercely at Li Chengdao.
"One day, Father will come and save us.”
The corners of Li Chengdao's mouth curled up slightly as he said with a smile,""Of course, we can't rule out this possibility.
But if that day really comes, I don't mind handing over four corpses to Li Shiming.”
His voice was very calm, and the smile on his face was very warm.
However, the content of his words scared Zhangsun Wugou and Yang Fei until their faces turned pale.
"Chengqian, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhangsun Wugou grabbed Li Chengqian, who still wanted to argue with Li Chengdao, and then looked at Li Chengdao with a pleading gaze.
She begged him not to argue with a seven or eight-year-old child like Li Chengqian.
Li Chengdao glanced at Li Chengqian and said to the soft and weak Concubine Yang,
"Auntie Yang, I have something to look for you later. I'll get someone to pick you up later.”
