Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 379

  Li Chang went to Yihua Palace with the palace people.

Concubine Su was frightened and restless all day. When she saw Li Chang, she clenched his hand tightly and glanced eagerly at Li Chang's fat face: "Achang, are you alright today! That Lu Mingyu? , did it bother you?"

  Li Chang looked at Concubine Su with some doubts: "My concubine doesn't ask me if I understand the government or not, why did she ask the second sister-in-law how she treated me as soon as she came up?"

The tone of    seemed to be certain that Lu Mingyu would make things difficult for him.

   Concubine Su's eyes wandered a little, and she responded perfunctorily: "You have never been to the court, and it is your first time in government, so you must have understood nothing. You don't need to ask. I'm just worried that the Crown Princess will deliberately make things difficult for you."

   Or, Lu Mingyu couldn't hold back and killed Li Chang directly.

Thinking of this possibility, Concubine Su shuddered all over her body, her subordinates exerted force, her long fingernails pinched the back of Li Chang's hand, and her voice trembled: "Achang, you must remember what I said. Lu Mingyu explained. Don't contradict her, and don't make her unhappy. Also, when you go to Jiaofang Palace, bring more people with you. Don't talk to Lu Mingyu alone!"

  Li Chang: "..."

  These instructions are getting weirder the more you hear them.

  Li Chang and Lu Mingyu were never close in the past. Uncle and sister-in-law, should have avoided suspicion!

   But the panic in Concubine Su's eyes revealed fear.

   As if Lu Mingyu was the Yama who demanded his life, he would kill him at any time.

Li Chang squinted his eyes, which were originally slender, and this squinting directly became two slits: "Mother, I always feel that you have something to hide from me. Now the third brother is not in the capital, only our mother and son are in the palace. If you have anything, don't hide it and tell me directly."

  How could Concubine Su be willing to say it, she insisted: "There is no secret, don't worry about it. It's just that the Lu family is very ambitious and stretches out her hand. You are still young, and you are not her opponent. You can't afford to hide."

   After all, the mother-in-law still didn't believe him, and just perfunctory him.

Li Chang's heart surged with anger, and his fat face quickly sank: "Mother doesn't want to say, I won't ask in the future. However, if I do anything, mother don't worry about it. I'm not a three-year-old child, I know what are you doing."

After    finished speaking, he pulled his hand back from Concubine Su's hand, turned around and left.

   Concubine Su was in a hurry, she caught up with Li Chang and grabbed Li Chang's sleeve again: "You bastard, why are you talking to your mother like this. If your third brother is here, I will definitely teach you a good lesson!"

   At the mention of Li Hao, Li Chang reflexively shrank back and quickly reacted.

  The third brother is not in the palace, what is he afraid of?

  Li Chang's face was ugly, and he pulled back his sleeves forcefully: "The concubine only has the third brother in her heart, and I am a useless bum. In that case, why should the concubine care about me?"

   Concubine Su's eyes were red: "I am your mother, I don't care who cares about you."

   If she did nothing, Lu Mingyu would have no scruples.

   Concubine Su's love for a mother, Li Chang did not accept it at all, and said impatiently: "I have to get up early tomorrow to take charge of the government. Now I will go back to the palace and go to bed earlier, and the concubine will also settle down early!"

   Then, strode away.

   Concubine Su couldn't catch up, so she could only sigh.

   Li Chang, who walked out of Yihua Palace, became more and more gloomy.

   In the palace, no one looked at him. It was rare for the fourth prince to leave the capital, and it was finally his turn to show his face. In any case, it was a happy event for him. But his mother, who was not happy for him at all, said some inexplicable things.

   He didn't do anything wrong, if the second sister-in-law didn't like him, she could still beat him up!

  Li Chang was in a bad mood. After returning to the bedroom, he had a hard meal.

   He loves meat, and every meal has chicken, duck, and fish. After eating, drinking and taking a bath, he called Xiaochun, a personal servant, to come over. Xiaochun saw the master's gloomy face, and his calf trembled.

   After half an hour, Xiaochun withdrew with a blank face.

  Li Chang called another young palace servant into the bedroom.

   As a prince, even if he is not favored, there will never be fewer people around him. There are more than a dozen palace people in his bedroom, this one is Lian'er, seventeen years old this year, with a slender figure, a pretty face, and a pair of almond eyes that are quite charming.

  Li Chang felt an evil fire in his heart, and before it dissipated, he pulled Lian'er back to the bed.

  A thirteen-year-old boy, half his age, his body began to develop, he knew what he should know, and he knew a lot. Soon, there was a strange movement in the bedroom, accompanied by Lian'er's cry and begging for mercy.

   The servants who were guarding outside the bedroom quietly stood a little further away.

  It used to be fine. For more than a year, His Royal Highness the third prince was not there, and no one would control the fifth prince. The fifth prince's peculiar quirks became more and more powerful.

  …

   The next day, Li Chang got up early and went to the Wenhua Hall.

   All the ministers have already entered the palace and gathered together to discuss matters. When they met Li Chang, they bowed their hands to each other.

   For Li Chang, this feeling is quite new. The father is not here, and the brothers are not here either. Now, isn't he the only man who can take charge in this palace?

   In front of him are all the important officials of Wei, and they bowed their heads to him, making him inexplicably happy.

  Li Chang opened his mouth and said, "Everyone is exempt from the ceremony."

   After the ministers finished their salutes, they continued the discussion.

  Li Chang cheered up, opened his eyes, and raised his ears.

  Nai He listened to it for a long time, but his head was still buzzing, and he didn't understand anything.

  Li Chang felt a little frustrated, and went to the Jiaofang Hall in despair.

   Queen Qiao was ill, and Princess Hui'an always stayed by Queen Qiao's side. The director in the Jiaofang Hall is still Lu Mingyu. When the uncle and sister-in-law met, Lu Mingyu was still cold and disgusted.

  Li Chang felt depressed again.

   Is he that annoying?

  Lu Mingyu said lightly: "What's going on in the court today?"

  Li Chang said it one by one.

  Lu Mingyu asked: "Is there any battle report?"

  Li Chang replied: "Not yet. If there is a battle report, I will send a letter immediately."

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly, signaling that Li Chang could get out.

  Li Chang finally couldn't hold back, looked up at Lu Mingyu: "Second sister-in-law, do you hate me?"

  Lu Mingyu is notoriously bad-tempered, but he didn't lose his etiquette, no matter how good he was with the eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince.

   When he got to him, Lu Mingyu looked at him like he was looking at a pool of sewage and a pile of stinky mud, which was really depressing.

  Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of his mouth, without the slightest smile in his eyes: "You still have self-knowledge."

  Li Chang: "..."

Li Chang was so angry that his fat face turned red: "Why? My second sister-in-law and I have met several times, and we haven't said anything. These two days are for business, so we have the opportunity to meet and talk. Why does the second sister-in-law hate me so much?"

  Lu Mingyu said coldly, "I hate someone, do you need a reason?"

  Li Chang: "..."
