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

It would take more than a month to get from Silla to Chang'an even at the fastest speed.

However, Chang'an is now in a turbulent time, and it is obvious that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will not have enough time.

"Your Majesty, Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have been worrying too much recently, resulting in insufficient energy and blood, which led to a brief fainting while riding, causing him to fall off the horse and break his calf by the horse's hoof. I have already prescribed a prescription. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to stay in bed for a while to heal his leg injury. It's just that..." In the East Palace, Doctor Wang, who was in charge of treating bone injuries, was reporting the Crown Prince's injuries to the Emperor and Empress in a serious manner, but at the end, there was a brief hesitation on his face.

"Just what?" His Majesty Li II had just tucked in the quilt for the unconscious prince. Seeing that Doctor Wang was hesitant to speak, he frowned and asked, "Could it be that the prince has another hidden illness?"

"Your Highness, the prince's leg injury is quite serious. I am worried that even if he is cured in the future... he may..." Doctor Wang said at the end, and then he made up his mind and bowed to the ground: "He may not be able to walk..."

"What?!" - After Imperial Physician Wang reported the prince's injuries truthfully, the emperor and empress, who felt sorry for their son, were both upset. But the one who spoke at this time was the Crown Princess Su.

"Father, mother, it's the King of Wei! It's the King of Wei who is plotting against the Crown Prince!" - Realizing that her husband might lose his position as Crown Prince, Su Xuan, the Crown Princess, went completely crazy: "It must be like this... It must be like this! He and the King of Chu have always been close... He..."

“Pa!” At this moment, Princess Changle, who was still in tears because she was worried about her elder brother, suddenly turned around and slapped her elder sister-in-law: “If you dare to say one more word, I will destroy your Su family! Do you believe it?!”

This might be the first time in Princess Changle's history that she got so angry, but no one thought she had no right to say this.

"..." After being slapped by Princess Changle, Su Xuan seemed to come to her senses. She covered her face and secretly observed the reactions of the emperor and empress. When she found that Li Er and Chang Sun were both shocked, she simply steeled herself and pretended to be hurt: "Wuwuwuwu... Your Highness the Crown Prince... Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

“Changle…” - His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, who had originally lowered his head because of Su Xuan’s accusation, now looked up at Princess Changle: “I really didn’t…”

"Qingque, I believe you." Princess Changle felt a little pain in her heart when she saw her brother was at a loss. "Wait for my second brother to come back... He will have a solution."

"What can he do?" His Majesty Li II was now very upset: "The first thing that bastard did after returning was..."

"Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun suddenly interrupted Emperor Li II.

"Alas..." His Majesty Li Er is really overwhelmed now: "Someone! Take Su away."

"Father...Mother..." Su Xuan wanted to speak again after hearing this, but Pu Yun had already asked two female officials to carry the trouble-making Crown Princess out of the hall.

Others don't know the character of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, but Pu Yun knows clearly: when His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu returns to Chang'an this time, the Su family will definitely be in trouble.

Bad luck!

"Changle..." After Su Xuan left, Emperor Li II could no longer hold back and said to Changle who was defending her brother, "You are a girl, so in the future... don't be like you just now..."

"Father, Qingque is my daughter's brother," Changle interrupted His Majesty Li Er in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "My second brother taught me that protecting one's family is the most natural thing in the world. If you think that what you said is wrong, then I will say one more thing - this truth was taught to you by my grandmother!"

"..." Well, His Majesty Li II knew that his little cotton-padded jacket was finally exposed: "That's not what I meant..."

"What does father mean?" Princess Changle was already angry with His Majesty Li II. This incompetent emperor really thought he knew nothing. "Should I cry and complain to you and mother like Su Xuan did? I obviously have a better way to make her shut up, why don't I use it?"

"..." His Majesty Li Er had realized that once the King Chu, who had troubled him the most, was gone, the remaining children - who he had thought were extremely well-behaved, were now showing a tendency to surpass King Chu...

No, His Majesty Li Er now even thinks that King Chu is more worthy of his attention - because if the other party makes trouble for him, he can just beat him up, anyway, the brat has a good physique and can withstand the beating, but if it is his daughter or other sons...

Emperor Li II could only hold his anger in his heart, feeling more and more aggrieved.

"Changle, stop talking." Seeing that His Majesty Li Er's expression was getting uglier and uglier, Empress Chang Sun finally spoke up: "The most important thing right now is to invite a famous doctor to treat your elder brother's injury, and... Your Majesty," Empress Chang Sun said this, and then turned to look at His Majesty Li Er: "What do you think, should I write a letter home and ask Kuan Er to come back as soon as possible?"

"..." His Majesty Li Er was actually not used to Empress Zhangsun speaking to him in such a polite tone, but now was not the time to worry about it: "I will write a letter to Kuan'er..."

only……

Who knows how things will turn out in the end...

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

In August in Chang'an, autumn is approaching.

When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu returned, there was no one else on the entire Baqiao Bridge except Dou Shilun who came to greet him.

"Dou Shu'er!" Although His Royal Highness the King of Chu was extremely anxious, Dou Shu'er was very important to him, so he did not go directly into the city as planned. Instead, he rode his horse to Dou Shilun and said, "I missed you so much!"

"Your Highness, it seems that you know everything?" Dou Shilun's mood was also very complicated - the old lady's last words before her death were still ringing in his ears, but... the current situation gave His Highness the Prince of Chu such an opportunity...

"Yes, I understand." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu nodded, then took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Dou Shilun: "I received it on the way, and I haven't opened it yet."

"Why don't you open it, Your Highness?" Dou Shilun looked at the envelope in his hand. He could guess that the contents inside might be...

"Dou Shu'er, do you believe that I... can give the Dou family a better future?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not directly answer the question. Instead, he asked Dou Shilun another seemingly unrelated question.

“Your Highness…” Dou Shilun looked at the young man in front of him who he had nurtured from a toddler to a tall and handsome man. His expression was full of pride, but his tone was very gentle: “Don’t put the cart before the horse. The servants of the Dou family have always served the master until death. There has never been a reason for the master to make a decision and then repeatedly consult the servants.”

"But Uncle Dou, I feel like you are my only family member." Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was always careless, when he said this, there was a dazzling light in his eyes: "To be honest, I have wanted to say it for a long time, but I was too thin-skinned before..."
