Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

"His Royal Highness, Chen Guogong is asking to see you."

Other courtyard.

Li Chengqian had just sorted out his emotions, and at this moment, Yu Xin was taking medicine.

Hearing the butler's report, Li Chengqian was taken aback, "What is he doing here? This palace is already like this, so why not come and watch this joke?"

The butler didn't speak.

Xinxin on the side also didn't speak, but obediently put the decoction in his hand into Li Chengqian's mouth.

Li Chengqian took a sip of the medicine, and his mouth was filled with a bitter taste, which made him frown.

Yixin quickly squeezed a candied fruit from the side plate and stuffed it into Li Chengqian's mouth.

Feeling the sweetness, Li Chengqian's brows relaxed, "Since he's here, let him in."

The housekeeper responded and went out to greet Hou Junji.

After hearing the words, she knew that it was not suitable for her to stay here, so she turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Li Chengqian, "You just stay here."

Sympathy, he is very trusting.

Xin Xin nodded, and obediently stood aside.

Hou Junji came in, saluted Li Chengqian, and looked at him.

Seeing that although Li Chengqian's face was a little pale, he seemed to be in good spirits.

"What is Chen Guogong doing here?"

Li Chengqian didn't want to get involved with those twists and turns, so after seeing Hou Junji, he asked directly.

Hou Junji chuckled. "Hearing that His Highness is ill, I came to visit you."

While speaking, he had already opened the box that he carried in his arms, revealing the medicinal ingredients inside.

"This ginseng looks pretty good."

Li Chengqian took a look and said in surprise.

Hou Junji nodded, "This is a treasure that the old minister has cherished for a long time. If it hadn't been for hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ill, other veterans would not be willing to take it out."

"In this case, I would like to thank Chen Guogong for his kindness."

Li Chengqian felt very comfortable listening to Hou Junji's words, so he didn't treat him politely, and accepted the ginseng directly.

He suffered a lot from physical loss, but this ginseng is very suitable for replenishing his body.

"Your Highness is being polite, the old minister should do."

Hou Junji said with a smile.

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Xinxin took the ginseng consciously.

"Seeing that His Highness is safe, I feel relieved. In order not to disturb His Highness's rest, I leave."

Hou Junji did not directly mention the cooperation with Li Chengqian as soon as he came up.

The first thing he has to do is to gain Li Chengqian's favor.

Some things cannot be rushed.

"Since Chen Guogong is here, please sit down for a while. This lonely place is like a cold palace. It's rare that Chen Guogong still misses this palace."

"In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Seeing Li Chengqian's request to stay, Hou Junji complied with a smile on his face.

He first played chess with Li Chengqian for a while, and then chatted about some court affairs.

Li Chengqian looked a little gloomy when he heard about the affairs in the court.

He was going to stay in another courtyard for a year, and he was afraid that if he went back, the affairs of the court would have nothing to do with him.

"Have King Wei and King Shu made any changes recently?"

Hou Junji shook his head, "There is no change, and it is still the same as before. I go to Laifu Restaurant Tinghuaben every day, and I don't know what they are messing with."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there is an old official at the court to help you keep an eye on it. If there is any news, someone will come and tell His Highness."

Li Chengqian glanced at Hou Junji gratefully, "I really didn't expect that in the entire court, only Chen Guogong is the most devoted to my palace."

"Chen Guogong, please rest assured, if this palace can ascend to that position, then the Duke will definitely be under one person and above ten thousand people."

This was Li Chengqian's promise to Hou Junji, and it was also his attitude.

"Thank you, Your Highness, old minister."

Hou Junji thanked Li Chengqian with a very excited expression, as for what he was thinking in his heart, no one else knew.

After seeing off Hou Junji, Yixin poured Li Chengqian a glass of water, "Your Highness has been tired for so long, drink some water and rest."

Li Chengqian looked at Xinxin and asked: "What do you think of Hou Junji?"

Xin Xin panicked.

"Satisfied with a humble status, I dare not talk about important affairs in the court."

"Don't be afraid, it's just you and me here, if you don't tell me, can I still say it?"

Li Chengqian gently patted Xinxin's hand to comfort him.

"My servant thinks that Chen Guogong treats His Highness very well. There are many Chinese and military officials, but none of them came to visit His Highness, but he came."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Go on."

"It is true that Chen Guogong came to visit His Highness, but in the eyes of this servant, his purpose may not be that simple. After all, the matter of His Highness's temporary residence in another courtyard is a secret, and His Majesty should not let outsiders know about it, but Chen Guogong not only knows, but also Came to visit and sent supplements, which shows that this person is not as simple as he appears on the surface."

"He came to visit His Royal Highness, and he must have an ulterior purpose."

After some hesitation, she finally said what she wanted to say.

Li Chengqian nodded, and looked at Xinxin with satisfaction, "Xingxin, Xinxin, you live up to your name, you are really worthy of my heart."

"You're right. I think so too. Hou Junji's coming here is definitely not as simple as visiting me."

"You have to be careful in the future."

As Yi Xin said, it is not a glorious thing for him to be poisoned by the concubine of the harem, and it is impossible for the emperor to make a scene known to everyone.

And the emperor also said that he would announce to the outside world that he would go to the military camp for training.

However, after his father announced the news to the outside world, Hou Junji was able to find clues, and he found it here, which shows that his power is not small.

And will not be too law-abiding.

But such Hou Junji is indeed what Li Chengqian needs.

Most of the Chinese and Chinese military officials in the court are loyal to his father. Once he loses power, it means that no one in the court will support him.

Hou Junji has ambitions, so long as such a person gives him power, he can work hard.

They each take what they need, so it's okay to cooperate.

Besides, he himself knew that if he really got to this point, he would not be willing to hand over the throne to others.

As the son, the father was able to risk the disgrace of the world and kill his brother to fight for that position, why not him?
Xin Xin nodded, for him, Li Chengqian was whatever he said.

He will not refute and has no right to refute.

"You are tired too, go back and rest first."

Xin Xin shook her head, "His Royal Highness sleeps first, and Xin Xin will wait on His Highness outside."

"No, you go back to rest too, I can do it myself."

Xin Xin lowered her head and said nothing, but her attitude was obvious.

Li Chengqian was a little helpless, but more moved and gratified.

"Forget it, I'll ask someone to move a bed over, and you can rest in the outside room."

"The slaves obey."

With a happy expression on his face, he agreed.

Li Chengqian frowned, "In the future, you don't have to call yourself a slave."

For some reason, hearing him calling himself a slave made him feel very uncomfortable.
