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

"Sizi, my dear... I miss you too..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at his sister in front of him. He originally wanted to find an excuse to cover up the past, but finally chose to tell the truth: "In fact, although I am in Qiongzhou, I have to check on what my little Sizi does in the palace every day. For example, a few days ago, you and Zhinu instigated the hero Mimi to go to the Shangshi Bureau and take away the dried fish drying in the imperial kitchen. For example, yesterday, you took advantage of Yulin's inattention and secretly ran to Xuanwu Gate..."

"Oh my!" Princess Sizi didn't expect that her second brother actually knew everything: "Second brother, you can't tell anyone! This is a secret between us!"

"Okay, okay, it's a secret." His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at his lovely sister, his heart full of tenderness: "But little Sizi, I don't mind Xiao Yugan's matter, but you want to sneak out of the palace, that's not allowed."

"But I want to find you..." The little princess heard her brother say this and immediately said aggrievedly: "I have collected eight dried fish. Sizi is young and will not feel hungry even if he eats one dried fish a day. Second brother, how far is it from Chang'an to Qiongzhou? Is ten days enough for Sizi to find you? If there are more... ten dried fish, Sizi can hardly carry them anymore..."

“Sizi…” King Chu had never thought that his younger sister would have such thoughts. He immediately hugged his sister tightly, and after a long time, he slowly let go of her: “Sizi, second brother really wants to give you all the treasures in this world.”

"Sister Changle said that people should not be greedy." Hearing this, Sizi smiled happily and curved his eyebrows. Then he began to educate his second brother seriously: "Sizi doesn't want so many treasures. Sizi just wants to be with second brother, like sister Changle did in the past, to be... to be a little tail. Second brother, then Sizi will be very happy!"

“Hahaha…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at such a lovely Sizi, and the haze in his heart seemed to be dispelled by the other party’s innocent words: “From now on, Second Brother will be Sizi’s little tail…”

"Yes!" Princess Sizi nodded happily when she heard that.

But then, she suddenly curled her lips: "Second brother...are you leaving soon?"

"Sizi..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu patted his sister's head and said, "Brother, I can't stay for long. What happened today...is a secret between us. Don't tell anyone, understand?"

"Isn't it possible for me too, mother?" Princess Sizi said with some difficulty when she heard it.

"Tell mother... then my second brother might be in trouble..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's voice was still gentle: "When Sizi is a little older, I will tell you the reason, okay?"

“Well then…” Princess Sizi nodded after hearing that. Then her tone changed and she began to grab the arm of the man in black in front of her and shook it slightly: “Second brother, let me tell you, sister Lian’er is very kind to Sizi and Zhinu. And there are also sisters Shuyi, Wanwan, and Yue’er. They often come to the palace to play with us. Um…but fourth brother said that they will soon leave Chang’an and go to Qiongzhou…Second brother…Sizi felt a little sad when he thought of this…”

“Don’t be sad, don’t be sad…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu gently grasped his sister’s hand, and then comforted her in a soft voice: “Second brother has built a palace for Sizi in Qiongzhou, but the construction has just started. In a few years, when the palace is completed, second brother will bring Sizi, Changle and Lanling to Qiongzhou. By then… Sizi can enjoy the sea breeze, hug an iced melon, look at the blue sea not far away, and think about whether to go fishing with second brother first, or go to the market with a few sisters - second brother promises that no one will restrain you, second brother’s little Sizi… will be freer than anyone else in the world!”

"Second brother, what is freedom?" Princess Sizi couldn't understand this word in her little head.

"Freedom... means that Sizi can go wherever she wants, meet whomever she wants, and do whatever she wants." His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not give a perfunctory answer just because his sister was young and ignorant.

"Oh... then Sizi is not free." The little princess pouted when she heard that, but then she said happily: "But second brother is free! Sizi is happy for second brother!"

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu smiled when he heard this. Facing his sister who was suddenly in high spirits, he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: Who can not love such a well-behaved and sensible little Sizi?

In this life, there are some promises that must be fulfilled at all costs.

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

As the sudden turmoil in Chang'an ended, Zhang Zhenxuan immediately returned to Qiongzhou alone in accordance with the instructions of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

As for where the original five hundred warriors went...

Well, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knows that there are many people who are anxious.

"Your Majesty, you must be careful--" After learning that Zhang Zhenxuan left Chang'an alone, Changsun Wuji couldn't wait to go to the palace to complain.

But when he arrived at the Taiji Hall, he found that Emperor Li II was looking at a map on the imperial desk with a complicated expression. Even when he saw him coming, he ignored him.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing this situation, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Wuji, before Zhang Zhenxuan left, he asked the palace to send this." Emperor Li II pointed to the map in front of him and said, "Come and take a look."

"Yes..." Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji stepped forward silently, and then...

He couldn't help but gasp!

no……

Who can tell him what Li Kuan wants to do?

On this map, from distant Persia to the easternmost Japan, there are protectorates named after the original names of the regions - such as the Persian Protectorate and the Japanese Protectorate - in short, in this map of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has expanded at least two or three times!

"Your Majesty... His Highness the Prince of Chu means... He wants to take these places for Your Majesty?" After being shocked, Changsun Wuji quickly realized that something was wrong: "Then Your Majesty... What is the price?"

"That bastard didn't mention anything." His Majesty Li II shook his head upon hearing this. "But he did explain to me why he left behind the assassins - his female confidantes will be heading south to Qiongzhou soon and need someone to protect them."

"Your Majesty..." Changsun Wuji had another bad idea.

"You'd better not make suggestions that shouldn't be made." His Majesty Li II glanced at the other party and said, "If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for me to protect you."

“……”Changsun Wuji knew that Emperor Li II was telling the truth.
