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

"Kuan'er, listen to me..." Duke Zhao's mentality collapsed.

"I won't listen to your nonsense!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has already grasped the initiative: "I know... my eldest brother is a simple and honest person. If there is no demon behind him to guide him, he will definitely not do such a heaven-defying thing!"

"..." What else could Changsun Wuji say...

No, considering the future of the Changsun family, he still had to say something: "Kuan'er——"

"——Alas, Duke Zhao, if you call me 'Kuan'er' after we leave this room, I won't argue with you. But now there are only two of us in this room, you should address me according to your title!"——His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knows how to make his uncle crazy.

"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu..." Faced with such a nephew who was worth a lot of money, Duke Zhao often felt powerless: "Your Highness, the Prince of Chu, I am not the mastermind..."

"So you participated as well." His Royal Highness the King of Chu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this: "Uncle, have you forgotten what I said to you when I was in Mount Li?!"

“Boy…” Seeing that King Chu seemed to really intend to confront him head-on, Changsun Wuji put away his original nervous look and turned his face into a sullen one: “If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, I won’t do anything—”

"——Uncle, I'm just teasing you."——Just when Zhangsun Wuji was ready to break up with Li Kuan, the latter caught him off guard: "Okay, now that I know that you and your subjects are working together to harm me, I know my duty as a subject. That's it. By the way, uncle, can you just pretend that I haven't been here today?"

"..."Chang Sun Wuji wanted to swear now - but considering that if he swore, he would either lose his head or hurt his family members, he could only swallow his anger in silence.

After a long while, Changsun Wuji slowly said, "Then I will just pretend that you have never been here today..."

"Then Duke Zhao... goodbye!" After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu stood up and left the Duke Zhao's mansion with big strides.

However, since it was a rare trip out of the palace, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu would not just return to the palace obediently...

and so……

Half an hour later...

The back alley of the Xiao Mansion.

"Your Highness the King of Chu, what are you doing?" - Yang Zhengdao originally thought that it was outrageous enough that he got drunk and stayed in a bar all night yesterday, but when he was about to return home through the back door... he happened to run into His Highness the King of Chu who was rubbing his hands together under the high wall, ready to fight.

This……

To be honest, the highs and lows are a bit of a gray humor.

But...even darker humor is yet to come.

"So it's Zhengdao... Long time no see..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was in a complicated mood: "Um... well... I remember when I came to the Xiao Mansion to visit Grandma Xiao before... The wall of the backyard of the Xiao Mansion was not built so high..."

"Your Highness, you don't know." Yang Zhengdao blinked his eyes and began to tell him a heartbreaking truth: "Nowadays, all the noble families in Chang'an... as long as there are noble ladies in the family, their courtyard walls are all built high. My family is relatively good--"

“——Wait a minute!” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu interrupted Yang Zhengdao’s speech with his hand, and then looked at him with an expression of disbelief: “Don’t tell me… those bastards did this… to protect me…”

"Your Highness, what do you think?" Yang Zhengdao felt that His Highness the Prince of Chu seemed to be somewhat confused...

"Who spread this news?" Now it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's turn to lose his temper.

"Who else could it be? Yu Chang, the son of Duke Yu, was having a party with his friends one day. He got drunk at the table and then--" Yang Zhengdao felt that some things were better left unsaid and there was no need to finish them all.

"Great...Great!" The King of Chu felt that he might be born incompatible with his father-in-law - first there was Wei Zheng, then there was Feng Ang, and now there is Yu Chang, who looks honest but is actually a mean guy!

"Your Highness, so you are planning to climb over the wall today..." Yang Zhengdao is in a good mood now - because he suddenly realized that compared with His Highness the King of Chu who is preparing to commit banditry, his overnight stay outside the palace is just an insignificant episode.

"What are you talking about?" His Royal Highness Prince Chu frowned when he heard this: "I am here to check the defense of the Xiao Mansion, and by the way... Sigh..." - His Royal Highness Prince Chu was halfway through his lies when he suddenly felt that facing Yang Zhengdao, this fool... he didn't need to be so reserved: "Okay, I admit that I was planning to go in through the back door. Of course, I can't do things like climbing over the wall now. I have to save my face!"

Especially now that it’s raised this high - if I fail to flip over, it will be even more embarrassing.

"Your Highness... you really are..." Yang Zhengdao was silent for a while after hearing this, and then gave a difficult evaluation: "It's incredible..."

Who could have thought that the barbarians around the Tang Dynasty...would fall into the hands of such a funny person...

"Your eyes are very dangerous when you look at me." Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is very naive most of the time, his intuition is still quite accurate: "So soon, your situation will become very dangerous. Of course, if you--"

"——Your Highness, Prince of Chu, please come in!" Yang Zhengdao did not give His Highness the Prince of Chu any chance to attack. He directly made a "please" gesture to His Highness, and then took the lead to walk a few steps and came to the back door of the Xiao Mansion: "Uncle Wang, it's me, open the door..."

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

At the same time, on the other side of the imperial palace, Changsun Wuji had already met Emperor Li II who was reviewing memorials.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has guessed it..." Ever since His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu left the Duke's Mansion, Changsun Wuji had been thinking more and more that something was wrong as he sat in his study. Finally, he realized that the real purpose behind Li Kuan's coming to question him today was to confirm one thing: that was about Li Chengqian's using his broken leg to preserve his position as the crown prince - what kind of disgraceful roles did Changsun Wuji and His Majesty Li II play in it.

just now……

The truth seems to have been found out by the other party...

So……

Changsun Wuji didn't dare to think about it now - how powerful the King of Chu could be now, who was able to lead his army to sweep across the northwest and complete the Jinshan Sacrifice to Heaven a few years ago.

You know... that guy went to Goguryeo and directly killed their king - Gao Jianwu.

In addition to the suppression of the King of Chu by His Majesty Li II...

In general... if that kid really wants to emulate his father, the pressure he will face can be said to be almost - just the group of Dou family retainers left by Madam Dou, Changsun Wuji himself estimated in his mind - there may be more military generals on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, as for counselors...
