Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince
Chapter 838: 1 Box of Crispy Pastries
After Changsun Wuji left the Taiji Hall and walked on the imperial road of the palace, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
He felt as if he had missed some important details.
Just when he was worried about this, someone brought him the answer.
"Uncle, have you just met the Emperor?"
"Crown Prince?" Changsun Wuji raised his head upon hearing the words, and then looked in the direction of the voice. He discovered that Li Chengqian was standing at the entrance of a palace alley at some point, accompanied by a middle-aged eunuch who was holding a food box in his hand.
"Uncle, you don't seem very happy." Li Chengqian smiled brightly at this time, but the tone he used when he said this was affirmative, not questioning.
"..." Zhang Sun Wuji looked at the Crown Prince in front of him. For some reason, he felt a little apprehensive. After a long while, he finally spoke, "It's not that I'm happy or unhappy. I just discussed some things with His Majesty and I was a little absent-minded... But where are you going with this food box?"
"Oh, it's just a box of pastries. I was going to give it to my father for him to taste, but since I met my uncle, I'll give it to him first." After the prince finished speaking, he told Pu Yun beside him: "Pu Yun, give this box of pastries to Duke Zhao!"
"Yes!" Pu Yun did not dare to be negligent upon hearing that. He immediately walked quickly to Changsun Wuji and handed him the food box.
But Changsun Wuji did not take the food box at this time.
Because at this moment, his heart... was already filled with huge waves!
"Uncle, you've worked hard." The Crown Prince bowed slightly to Changsun Wuji and said, "You've worked hard and made great contributions. This box of pastries is what you deserve!"
Changsun Wuji looked at the food box in Pu Yun's hand, then turned his gaze to Li Chengqian.
"Uncle, remember to finish this box of peach cakes, don't waste them." Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince added.
And at this moment, a bleak autumn wind blew by, as if God was telling it something in the dark.
After a long while, Zhangsun Wuji took the food box from Pu Yun and said, "I…thank you, Your Highness."
"Uncle, take care. I won't see you off." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the Crown Prince stopped talking and left with Park Yun.
After he left, Changsun Wuji continued to carry the food box and planned to leave the palace.
But as he was walking, he suddenly staggered. If he had not been quick enough to grab the palace wall beside him, he would have probably fallen to the ground.
"Duke Zhao, what happened to you?" The General of the Household who was guarding outside the Suzaku Gate saw him fall, and rushed over with his men to help him up: "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
"I'm fine... I'm fine..." Changsun Wuji waved his hand after hearing that. Then, accompanied by the General of the Household, he slowly walked out of the palace gate and got on his own carriage.
"Don't leave in a hurry." - Zhang Sun Wuji first instructed the groom, and then opened the food box that Li Chengqian had prepared for him...
"Bang!" There was a sudden sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the carriage.
"Duke..." The coachman thought that something had happened to Changsun Wuji and wanted to ask immediately.
"I'm fine!" Before the groom could finish his words, Zhang Sun Wuji's panting voice rang out from inside: "I just accidentally knocked over some snacks..."
Yes, dim sum.
The snack that Li Chengqian gave to Changsun Wuji was a box of peach cakes.
But... Changsun Wuji turned pale instantly after seeing Tao Su.
The reason why he did so was because the peach cake Li Chengqian gave him was just a box of peach cake powder.
As smart as Changsun Wuji is, he now understands everything.
The prince deliberately waited for me when I left the palace.
The reason why the other party did this was because of so many reasons...
Cao Cao also once gave a box of pastries to the clever Yang Xiu, but Yang Xiu chose to continue to be clever, and from then on he was doomed to death.
But the peach cake that the prince gave him was in powder form...
This has two meanings.
The first meaning is that the prince hopes that Zhangsun Wuji will help him destroy the Su family.
And the second meaning... is even more dangerous - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly telling Changsun Wuji that the reason they met just now was not a coincidence at all.
Li Chengqian came here just for Zhangsun Wuji!
At this moment, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but recall that when Li Kuan left Changsun Mansion, he did not mention asking him to destroy the Su family.
And this...is not because the boy is too careless.
But something shocked him and even made him change his mind temporarily... and decided to wait for an answer.
And what is the answer?
"Damn it..." Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but curse.
Li Kuan now suspects that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never betrayed him.
And the prince... seemed to have proved this with his actions just now.
Su Xuan was the Crown Princess personally chosen by His Majesty Li II.
The prince just wanted to destroy the Su family himself - he must have received the news and knew that Li Kuan had been to Changsun Mansion.
and……
Li Chengqian brought Pu Yun with him, no doubt to remind Changsun Wuji: Pu Yun was saved by Kuandi from Su's hands, and I brought him to see you today, uncle... Don't you understand the deep meaning behind my action? Or do you still dare to pretend that you don't understand? !
Changsun Wuji now felt that his whole world was collapsing.
no……
That kid Kuan'er has a counselor like Wang Xuance by his side, and there is also an unfathomable guy like Dou Shilun, so I am not surprised that he has a good brain.
But the prince...
When did the prince become so cunning? !
When he thought of this, Changsun Wuji even unconsciously twisted his brows into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
The prince broke his leg before... He might have been stimulated by something - and this stimulation might not only be because when Li Kuan went to Goguryeo, he ran to him from time to time to sound the alarm.
perhaps……
The prince had made two plans from the beginning - if he lost his position as prince because of his broken leg, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu succeeded to the throne, then although the crisis faced by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could not be eliminated, it could be alleviated by more than half.
On the contrary, if His Royal Highness the King of Chu saves the prince, then people with ulterior motives will definitely try to alienate the two brothers, and the best way is to let His Royal Highness the King of Chu know that the prince's move is a retreat to advance.
So it was only a matter of time before the brothers turned against each other.
But now it seems that the King of Chu has turned against the Crown Prince.
So... the prince has worked so hard to plan... what he wants to deal with...
When Changsun Wuji thought of this, he suddenly froze.
Because the answer has been revealed!
There cannot be two tigers in one mountain. Your Majesty, a tiger in his prime, will never allow the King of Chu to continue growing.
In order to protect his brother... the prince began to plan... he wanted to drive the King of Chu away before His Majesty was ready to make a painful decision, and then he would grow into a fierce tiger and stand between His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Chu...
