Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

The next day, His Royal Highness the King of Chu got up early and first came to Ganlu Palace to personally feed his sister breakfast - a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge. Then, under the eager gaze of his younger brother Zhinu, he knocked a boiled egg on his brother's head...

"Wow, wow, wow..." The poor Ninth Prince covered his head with his two little hands and looked at his unscrupulous brother, feeling so angry.

“Alright, alright…silly boy…brother is just teasing you…” After eating the egg whites, he threw the egg yolks into the porridge that Yulin had just prepared. His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu crushed the egg yolks that had sunk to the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, then mixed them evenly. He then picked up a spoonful and blew on it gently. Then he called his stupid brother to stick his head over: “It’s time for dinner, little slave. Here’s Xiaofei’s porridge…”

"Ah~~" When the little boy Zhinu saw his brother shaking his head and starting to feed him, he immediately opened his mouth obediently and contentedly enjoyed the rare love his second brother showed him.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is actually a very competent and good brother. Yulin, the female official who helps His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to look after Sizi and Zhinu silently, has the most say in this regard.

Now, as long as he doesn't stay in bed, the job of feeding breakfast to Zhinu and Sizi is all his.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was always careless in public, was extremely alert and patient when taking care of the younger brother and sister, and he was also extremely gentle, only towards the little Princess Sizi.

Therefore, if we were to say who is the most trustworthy and loved one in Sizi and Zhinu’s hearts, it would naturally be their good second brother, His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Okay, you two can play with Yulin today. My second brother has something to do, so I'll be back to accompany you guys in the evening." After feeding the little boar, His Royal Highness the King of Chu rubbed his sister Sizi, who had been waiting by his side, and then pushed away his brother Zhinu who was about to come up to hug him. Then he turned to the court lady Yulin and said, "Yulin, I leave it to you."

"Don't worry, Your Highness." The court lady Yulin smiled slightly and bowed to Li Kuan respectfully. "When the Queen returns from her inspection of the harem, I will tell her that you have something important to do."

"Yulin, that's great!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave the other party a thumbs up and said, "If I have a child in the future, I will definitely teach you how to raise it!"

"Oh...ah?!" Yulin, who was always calm in front of others, was a little surprised when she heard that.

how to say……

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's child...

Little King of Chu...

that……

Yulin felt that this was really not a reward...

Stop gossiping.

It was another grand court meeting, and the King of Chu was not attending the court, and... Chang He was on duty at the Xuanwu Gate again.

"Chang He, do a good job! My father, the emperor, is left to you to protect!" As usual, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu gave Chang He a heads-up when he met him by chance when he left the palace.

And the latter...

He just glanced at the little overlord of Chang'an silently and turned his head to the side.

I can’t bear to see it. I really can’t bear to see it…

His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this as if he was issuing a declaration of war before a war...

God knows how much he fears that day will come...

Ugh……

When you meet the wrong person, this is what happens...

People inside and outside Chang'an have suffered for His Royal Highness the King of Chu for a long time.

But the one who will suffer today, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, is his chief minister - Uncle Dou and Dou Shilun.

Still in the Dou Mansion, still the same back garden.

The master and his servants sat opposite each other, and their moods were completely different from last time.

"Your Highness, Prince of Chu, have you met Taoist Priest Zhang?" Dou Shilun had taken a leave of absence and had been busy in the palace dealing with matters related to Taoist Priest Zhang's grandson Zhang Zhenxuan taking over his great-grandfather's position as the Dou family's priest. So he naturally knew what His Highness, Prince of Chu, wanted to ask: "Mr. Jiang sent a message yesterday saying that you and Taoist Priest Zhang had a very pleasant conversation..."

"Uncle Dou, Lord Jiang knows how to scold people..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu cried like a dog yesterday, and he didn't just cry at Yushan. After bidding farewell to the old Heavenly Master, he rode his Ferghana horse to Xianling, where he stayed until midnight before returning to Yushan. They had a good chat... Well, I can only say that this old man Jiang is now abstract, and he only does happy things when he has nothing to do.

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, I don't know what Master Zhang said to you, but I hope you..." Dou Shilun stopped talking halfway when he saw the sudden sadness in His Highness the Prince of Chu's eyes.

"Uncle Dou... it's nothing... it's just that I now know how much my grandmother loved me..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, took a deep breath, then cheered up and stated his purpose of coming today: "Uncle Dou, do you know where my aunt's retainers are now?"

"Why did Your Highness suddenly ask about them?" Dou Shilun frowned when he heard this: "But what did Master Zhang say..."

"My aunt was secretly murdered by Li Yuanji. Li Jiancheng also knows about this, right?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu spoke in a calm tone, but this did not mean that he was calm in his heart. "I just want to know why Li Yuanji was able to succeed so easily, so I have to ask the people who were guarding my aunt back then."

"Your Highness..." Dou Shilun was almost certain what His Highness the King of Chu was going to do: "You know that I always support any decision you make, but..."

"Uncle Dou, don't be nervous." Li Kuan looked at Dou Shilun in front of him and said gently, "I am not a bloodthirsty person. Besides, I just feel that as the grandson of my grandmother and the nephew of my aunt, I should do something about this matter. What if there was a loophole in the conspiracy back then? It is always a good habit to check for omissions and fill in the gaps..."

"Your Highness, do you think the retainers left by Princess Pingyang Zhao may have clues?" Dou Shilun heard what His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, and immediately persuaded him tactfully: "Your Highness, in the past few years, I have never relaxed my investigation of the old case, but it has been so many years since then, and things have changed. It is almost impossible to find all the evidence and witnesses..."

"That is to say, Uncle Dou, you also suspect, but you have no evidence, right?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu understood Dou Shilun's difficulties in an instant: "But Uncle Dou, don't you think that the more this is the case, the more suspicious they are?"

"Your Highness, I will tell you the truth." Dou Shilun knew that Zhang Tianshi had always been dissatisfied with his self-willed attitude in this matter, so he was not surprised that the latter told His Highness the King of Chu about this matter.

But Dou Shilun's starting point has always been to consider His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "When Princess Pingyang Zhao died, her retainers - Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili, and He Panren - found the old lady and presented Princess Pingyang Zhao's suicide note to her.

According to what they said, Princess Pingyang Zhao knew that she was being plotted against by Li Yuanji and that she was powerless to save the situation, so she left a suicide note and asked them to take the suicide note and fight their way out of the encirclement, return to Longyou, and let the old lady know the truth of the matter..."

When Dou Shilun said this, his eyes flashed with regret: "Princess Pingyang Zhao... She is a real darling of heaven! But such a darling of heaven fell under the conspiracy of her own brother..."

Dou Shilun still feels heartbroken when he recalls the other party's fate!
