"I understand... You can leave now..." - In the Taiji Palace, after listening to Yun Shang's report, His Majesty Li II rubbed his brows unconsciously: "That brat... is really... Alas... You can leave now."

"Yes." Yun Shang was smart. He knew clearly that if he didn't leave now, he would hear something he shouldn't hear later, which would be a huge trouble. So after getting the permission from His Majesty Li II, he immediately bowed and tried to escape from here as quickly as possible.

"Wait a minute," His Majesty Li II raised his head when he heard the voice: "If the Queen asks..."

"Your Highness the King of Chu is just going to Yingzhou to enjoy the scenery and to warn the Shiwei people." Before returning to Chang'an, Yun Shang went to Yushan to meet her master Hong San - anyway, that's what her master told her to do, so she just did it.

"Go down." After receiving a satisfactory answer, Emperor Li II immediately picked up the memorial on the table and began to prepare for work.

"Yes." Yun Chang, who had finally gotten through this difficult time safely, carefully knelt down and kowtowed to His Majesty Li Er, then bowed her head and left the hall.

After he left, Emperor Li II suddenly put down the memorial in his hand.

"Alas... this child... why is he so angry..." At this point, perhaps only when no one is around, Emperor Li II would reveal a trace of regret and worry like he does now, but such emotions are like crocodile tears to an emperor - extra emotions are just embellishments and cannot affect his final decision at all.

"Father," suddenly, the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sounded outside the palace: "Your Highness, I have something to ask you."

"Come in..." When Emperor Li II heard that the visitor was the prince, he was a little surprised, but he did not refuse.

So, a moment later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into the hall and began to show what true brotherly love and respect were: "Father, I would like to ask you to postpone my wedding date..."

"Why?" Emperor Li Er, who thought his eldest son was begging for mercy, frowned upon hearing this: "Just because your brother is away from home, you have to delay even such an important event in life as marriage? Not to mention that you are the crown prince!"

"Father..." Li Chengqian could already hear the obvious unhappiness in his father's tone, but he still explained, "I would like to ask you to issue an order to allow Brother Kuan to return to Chang'an..."

"How do you know that I have never issued such an order?!" The second emperor Li, whose feet were accidentally touched by the crown prince, even raised his voice when he spoke: "If that brat is not happy, what can I do?!"

“……”When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found out that he had wrongly accused his father, he was really speechless this time.

"Your wedding date has been set long ago and cannot be changed." Seeing that his son was silent, Emperor Li II simply spoke out, "Also, you killed Gu Lianzhi just to get some temporary pleasure. If it wasn't because of your brother, I don't know what would have happened to the whole court...

But even so, don't think that this matter can pass so easily.

If I change your wedding date, it will be a signal to the officials in the court. By then, the memorials impeaching you will float into the Taiji Hall like snowflakes. Do you want things to develop like this? "At the end of his speech, His Majesty Li II could not help but take a deep look at his son who bowed his head and said nothing: "By then, your good brother will probably make a bigger fuss in order to keep your position as the crown prince, and I... will be completely passive! "

"Father..." Although the Crown Prince wanted to refute his father's words, he chose to accept his fate because he was considering his brother Kuan who was thousands of miles away. "It was my son who was not thoughtful enough. Please forgive me, Father."

"You are getting married soon. If you are really depressed, I will allow you to go out of the city for hunting. Just treat it as a way to relax." His Majesty Li II said, and his eyes somehow glanced at the screen beside him. Then, in his mind, he recalled the scene when he warned Li Chengqian not to test people's hearts casually...

I clearly understand the truth, but why... I can't...

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li II couldn't help but be dazed.

"Father, I understand." Li Chengqian could see that his father was not in a good mood. He thought that all this was caused by his own Crown Prince. He said in a frustrated tone, "I will take my leave."

"Yes." Emperor Li Er came back to his senses and glanced at his son: "Remember, you are not allowed to take Sizi out of the palace."

"..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that his father thought too highly of him. Among his brothers and sisters, apart from his younger brother Kuan, no one else would dare to do this.

It’s just that my elder brother Kuan…my elder brother is getting married soon, when will you come back…

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

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who is missed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has been in a good mood recently.

Because the surprise that Lu Yingke brought to him was so great - no wonder when he left Chang'an and notified his three cheap teachers, Li Gang, Kong Yingda and Lu Deming, to offer their grandsons to earn military merit, in the end only Master Lu sent his grandson. It turned out that the three great scholars were really honest - unless it was a junior like Lu Yingke who had already shown his talent and was gradually becoming a force to be reckoned with, they would rather leave the place vacant.

——From this, we can see that the value of the saying "His Royal Highness the King of Chu does not keep idle people under his command" seems to be increasing now...

"Your Highness, the rumor has been leaked. It won't be long before Quan Gaisuwen gets the news and becomes furious." In the lobby of a house in the capital of Goguryeo, His Highness the King of Chu and a group of good brothers gathered together to discuss important matters. The one who spoke at this time was Wang Xuance, who was entrusted by His Highness the King of Chu with the important task of spreading the news.

"There's nothing we can do even if he's furious." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled upon hearing this. "The best way to suppress rumors is to let them run wild. He, Quan Gaisuwen, can't do that at all. Besides, even if he did, it wouldn't help. On the contrary, if he tried to use manpower and material resources to suppress the rumor, then... hey... I'm afraid there will be even more people in this capital laughing at him."

“Hahahaha…” As soon as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the hall.

After a long time, the laughter gradually died down. Lu Yingke, who had been invisible until then, suddenly spoke up: "Your Highness, next we should send someone to inform Quan Gaisuwen to come here to see you."
