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

"Dad... since you already know about this, then you can issue an order to let them go back..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at his father with a flattering smile on his face: "Just give your son some face..."

"But according to Tang law, smuggling salt is a serious crime." When His Majesty Li II heard his son's plea, he still acted impartially: "The Western Region merchant has been detained. Tomorrow Dai Zhou will send someone to the Xiao Mansion to take Yang Wanwan away for questioning."

"Wow..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu realized that his face was useless in front of his own father, so he stopped pretending: "Dad... are you planning to replace the Dali Temple Minister..."

"What do you mean, kid?" His Majesty Li II narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

“Dad, please don’t misunderstand me!” Seeing that his father had obviously misunderstood, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu hurriedly explained: “What my son meant is… Dai Zhou should not touch Yang Wanwan, this hot potato…”

"Why, isn't Yang Wanwan a hot potato because of your protection, Your Highness the Prince of Chu?" After hearing his son's words, His Majesty Li Er sneered, "You little brat still wants to fool your father... You are still naive!"

"No..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu found that the incompetent emperor in front of him was becoming more and more like his grandfather: "Dad, I'm talking to you about state affairs, and you're talking to me about love? Mother--" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu turned his gaze to the Empress Changsun who was laughing at the side, and said in a very aggrieved tone: "Say something..."

"Kuan'er, your father is doing this for your own good..." Empress Changsun said, looking at her husband with a hint of helplessness before turning to her son and saying, "Isn't it obvious? Your father wants you to go to the Dali Temple tomorrow to save the beauty..."

"Really?" His Royal Highness Prince Chu felt that things were not that simple. "In my opinion... my father is planning to let me deal with those bastards who are secretly making trouble. If I guess correctly, it should be the Five Surnames and Seven Families who want to pick a fight, right? Hey... they only know how to bully weak women. Do they have the guts to compete with me?!"

"My son is so ambitious!" Seeing that his son understood something without his reminder, Emperor Li II immediately added: "I was also far inferior to him in the past..."

"Ah? Ah!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who had never been praised like this, was somewhat panicked: "Dad... what are you doing?! You suddenly said something like this... Could it be... you want me to slaughter the Five Surnames and Seven Families?! No, Dad... I still have some use for them..."

"Don't talk about fighting and killing all the time, kid..." Emperor Li II looked at his eldest son with a helpless expression, "How you beat them is your business. Anyway, I have already informed Dai Zhou, you can go and get them at the right time."

"..." Seeing his father express his opinion so happily, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at his mother, Empress Zhangsun, with some hesitation: "Mother...should I thank you?"

"Your Highness, Prince of Chu, please make your own decision." Empress Changsun smiled gently when she heard this: "Anyway, Yang Wanwan... I think she's a good match..."

"Ahem..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu now understood everything.

-------------------------------------

The next day, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu followed his father's instructions and calculated the time precisely - about an hour after the grand court meeting ended. He rode the second Ferghana horse he had robbed from his eldest brother and slowly came to the Dali Temple.

"Mr. Dai, what are you busy with?" It was rare for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to wear the crown and robes today. Ever since he stopped his horse at the gate of the Dali Temple and dismounted and entered, the voices of "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu" around him were so annoying that they made him sick.

When he rushed to the court of the Dali Temple, he first stood in front of Yang Wanwan, who was sitting on a bar stool without saying a word. Then, the handsome Prince of Chu smiled at Dai Zhou, who had just picked up the gavel and was about to hit him: "Mr. Dai, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much. By the way, Lord Tang asked me to say hello to you."

"..."To be honest, Dai Zhou had never seen such a humble and polite King of Chu.

Could it be that... the reason His Majesty told me about releasing the people is true...

Does His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu really like this beautiful princess from the previous dynasty?

"Hey! Mr. Dai, I'm asking you a question?!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Do you think that you can be fearless just because I came here alone today? Damn it..." After saying this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu lifted up his sleeves, stepped over Muas, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath after just being tortured, and rushed straight to Dai Zhou who was sitting in the hall.

"Oh, Your Highness!" Dai Zhou really didn't expect that what his old friend Tang Jian told him was true - this unfortunate child would go crazy whenever he wanted: "Just stand there and don't move!"

"Your Highness, this is not right." Just as His Highness was about to rush forward, Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Central Secretariat, who was ignored by him, suddenly smiled and said, "Today, Lord Dai is trying this case in accordance with the national law. You are making trouble now. Isn't this against the law..."

"Who is this idiot?" Before Xu Jingzong could finish his words, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu turned his head again and looked at Dai Zhou: "The official under you?!"

"Your Highness... This has nothing to do with me..." Dai Zhou saw that bad luck had come to him, and he immediately tried to distance himself from the matter: "Lord Xu is only here to listen to the case."

"Oh..." After listening to Di'a Zhou's explanation, His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Xu Jingzong: "Get lost, I don't have time to deal with you."

"Your Highness..." Xu Jingzong was about to speak when he heard the words, but unexpectedly the other person was busy comforting Sister Wanwan.

"Sister Wanwan, I didn't scare you, did I?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu slowly walked up to Yang Wanwan. Seeing that she slightly turned her head away and didn't dare to look at him, he couldn't help but feel amused: "What's wrong? Now that you're in Chang'an, you don't recognize your 'distant cousin'?"

"Your Highness, please don't laugh..." Yang Wanwan didn't know what to say now. From the moment the King of Chu entered the room, her heart, which had been uneasy because of Muas's experience, suddenly calmed down.

She knew that with the young man in front of her, no matter how serious the situation was, he would keep her safe.

"I'm not joking," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, and suddenly frowned: "That's not right... Why is my Master Xiao so confident in sending you, Sister Wanwan, to the Dali Temple..."

"My great uncle said that he and Mr. Dai are good friends. I came here to answer some of Mr. Dai's questions, and then I can take Muas back..." Yang Wanwan said, and suddenly took out a jade pendant from the pouch on her waist and handed it to Li Kuan: "This... is back to you..."
