The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Of course they have a good relationship. Pei Ji sent many beauties to His Majesty. They grew up together and did many things together. Concubine Zhang in the palace was sent to His Majesty by Pei Ji."

Li Fu nodded. So that's why he is a close minister. He is a childhood friend. They have fought together and visited prostitutes together. They are close friends.

When it was almost dawn, Changsun came.

"Your Highness, the Princess of Qi came just now and said that the King of Qi wanted to kill Your Highness today."

"They have already attacked me once. Last time I was poisoned, if it wasn't for Concubine Yang's hint, I would have died there."

The last time Li Shimin was poisoned and vomited blood, he was saved by the imperial physician overnight. It was also because he knew that the wine was poisonous and only drank a small sip.

If he didn't drink it at all, he might not be able to leave the house.

As expected, at dawn, the decree from the palace came.

Li Shimin put on his armor and led his men and horses to the Xuanwu Gate.

Chang He, the gatekeeper, was from the Qin Palace. When the prince and the king of Qi came, they would just close the gate.

Li Yuan summoned the three brothers to the Linhu Palace. He was already waiting there with several court officials.

Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng joined together. They didn't bring many people with them. After all, the emperor summoned them early in the morning, disrupting their plans.

When they were not far from the Linhu Palace, Li Yuanji felt something was wrong.

"Brother, do you feel that something is wrong?" Li Yuanji said.

Li Jiancheng nodded: "It seems to be different from before."

The atmosphere was too solemn, which made the two alert.

"Or, let's go back first." Li Yuanji said: "When the farewell banquet is held, everything will be arranged, and we will show up again."

"Okay." Li Jiancheng responded.

This is safer. As for the emperor, find an excuse to explain.

"Crown Prince, King of Qi, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Li Shimin rode his horse and led his men out from both sides, surrounding Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

"No, there is an ambush, hurry up!" Li Yuanji shouted.

The two hurriedly rode their horses towards the Xuanwu Gate.

Li Yuanji bent his bow and drew his arrow while running, and turned back to shoot Li Shimin.

But at this moment, he lost his aim in his panic and missed several times.

Li Shimin rode his horse to chase behind, calm and composed, and also bent his bow and drew his arrow.

However, he was not aiming at Li Yuanji, but at Li Jiancheng!

His target was the crown prince!

In Li Shimin's view, Li Yuanji was just a straw bag, and the real worry to be solved was Li Jiancheng.

As long as the crown prince was gone, this position would be his!

As for Li Yuanji, he couldn't live either!

Since the brothers are killing each other and it has come to this, there is no need to keep them alive and cause trouble for yourself.

"Swish!"

An arrow broke through the air, followed by the sound of the arrow entering the flesh.

The arrow penetrated from the back of Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng lowered his head and looked at the arrowhead emerging from his chest in disbelief, and then he fell off the horse.

"Brother!" Seeing this, Li Yuanji was afraid and secretly happy.

Seeing that the prince was not going to survive.

Li Jiancheng fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.

At this time, Yuchi Gong led dozens of riders out of the woods and surrounded the prince's men and horses.

Li Yuanji was shot in the arm, and he fell off the horse in shock and fear, just in front of Li Shimin's horse.

The horse was frightened, and Li Shimin could not control it, so the horse took Li Shimin and ran into the woods.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji ignored the pain in his arm, got on his horse again, and chased into the woods.

Yuchi Gong led his men to fight with the men of the Crown Prince and the King of Qi.

Today, Li Fu did not come with Li Shimin. In the morning, Li Yuan only summoned the Crown Prince, the King of Qin and the King of Qi alone. Li Fu would go there at the farewell banquet at noon.

Li Fu stayed in the Qin Palace for the time being.

Li Shimin was in the palace, and the guards of the Qin Palace were also on guard, fearing that the Crown Prince and the King of Qi would come to the door.

After all, if something happened to the King of Qin in the palace, they would definitely attack the Qin Palace and kill everyone.

The atmosphere in the palace was solemn.

Changsun was busy instructing the guards in the palace.

Li Fu had been sitting in the corridor of the front hall waiting for news.

At this time, Li Chengqian and Li Tai ran to the front from the backyard.

The two children also felt that the house was different today than usual.

The mother was too busy to comfort them.

The two children ran in front, and the maid chased them.

"My two little princes, slow down."

The maid chased them and called nervously.

Li Chengqian ran out of the hall and tripped over the threshold of the door.for a moment.

Li Fu, who was sitting on the side, was quick to pull the child over.

"Be careful, don't fall."

The maid behind saw that Li Chengqian almost fell, and her face turned pale with fear.

"Who are you?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Fu, his eyes full of inquiry.

Li Tai also came out of the house and hid behind Li Chengqian.

"According to seniority, you should call me uncle." Li Fu smiled and said, "Your father is my cousin."

"Then you are my uncle Wang?" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes."

"Nephew greets Uncle Wang." Li Chengqian saluted in a proper manner.

The child was not very old, but he looked mature and steady, very proper.

In comparison, Li Tai was more in line with his age. In front of strangers, he was a little restrained and timid.

Li Fu stretched out his hand to lift Li Chengqian up.

"Is Uncle Wang waiting for my father?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes, I'm waiting for your father to come back." Li Fu said.

The maids behind saw the two young princes talking to King Jingyang, and they didn't dare to step forward.

Not long after, Changsun came out.

"Chengqian, Qingque, why did you come out from the backyard? This is your uncle King Jingyang, have you greeted him?" Changsun squatted down and asked gently.

"Mother, I have greeted my uncle." Li Chengqian said.

"Uncle, is there any news outside now?" Changsun looked at Li Fu and asked.

"Not yet. The news from the palace cannot be spread out until the matter is over, so no news now is the best news." Li Fu said calmly: "Don't worry. If the situation is not favorable to us, the Qin Palace will not be so peaceful now. The princess only needs to stabilize the palace. I have sent people to Jingyang Palace to dispatch people. When the time comes, the guards there will also come to Qin Palace."

The palace should have been fighting now, so no matter what is done outside the palace, there is no need to be shy.

The guards from Jingyang Palace are all dispatched here. If the people under the prince are desperate and want to attack Qin Palace, then one more person here means one more force.
