Chapter 135 [Send Axe]
East Palace.
After the hotpot meal, the second prince was so full that he ate too much.
"Your Highness, I will ask a few chefs to come over and teach you how to cook. Is that okay?"
The second prince asked with a smile, supporting himself with his hands.
"Of course... No!"
Upon hearing this, the second prince's face suddenly turned dark.
"This is what you said. If you want to do this, I will come here at mealtime every day to eat for free." said the second prince.
He wasn't just talking, he really intended to do it.
Because it’s really delicious!
"It's not that important for you to do this just for your stuttering." Li Yunrui said.
"As for that! Aunt, you don't understand. Life is just a few decades long. If you don't eat more delicious food, wouldn't it be a waste of your life in this world?"
It’s confirmed, this is a food lover.
"Your Highness, do you have grapes in the East Palace?
Is it good for your health to have some fruit after a meal? "
Seeing that Li Chengqian ignored him, the Second Prince stood up, walked to the eunuch beside him, and said:
"Bring me two bunches of grapes."
The eunuch looked at Li Chengqian, and when he saw him nod, he turned and left.
This action was naturally noticed by the second prince.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really good at this. The entire Eastern Palace, even a small eunuch, is so loyal."
Li Chengqian glanced at him. This guy has become more talkative recently.
He also lay completely flat.
"Don't forget your duties!" he reminded.
Hearing this, the Second Prince's face fell slightly and he spread his hands helplessly.
"Your Highness, how powerful you are now, don't you have any idea of it?
If I attack you at this time, wouldn't that be seeking death?
Besides, it doesn’t seem real, does it? "
While speaking, the second prince kept secretly glancing at Li Yunrui's reaction.
Seeing that she didn't seem surprised, I was shocked.
Although I had some guesses, I still felt it a little unbelievable when I finally confirmed the answer.
“Now it seems that this aunt who holds the financial power of the inner treasury has also fully supported him.
What a good idea!
Moreover, she already knows that I now support the prince.
Since you already know it, you must have gained trust.
More than half of the power in the entire palace has fallen into his hands."
The second prince was amazed.
In fact, Li Yunrui was also observing the second prince.
Now, her guess has been confirmed.
“It seems that the second brother has already been subdued by the prince, and the so-called opposition is just a show.
I'm afraid that the entire Qing Kingdom, including His Majesty, is still kept in the dark by him.
What a good trick! "
In amazement, the two looked at each other and raised their glasses at the same time.
"I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a great victory in this expedition!"
Li Chengqian looked at the two of them, raised his glass, clinked it with theirs, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't worry, when you go to war, I will seize the opportunity and stab you in the back!"
The second prince suddenly laughed.
"You now hold military power, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the emperor.
If I come out to cause trouble at this time, it will definitely have a good effect."
The second prince is a professional when it comes to causing trouble.
Soon, the young eunuch brought grapes.
The second prince took it and started eating it by himself.
He seems to have a special liking for grapes.
Afterwards, the second prince left.
Li Yunrui stayed for a while.
"You don't really intend to give Haitang Duoduo to..."
She stopped talking halfway.
"Is it my character to not eat the meat that is right in front of my mouth?" Li Chengqian asked back.
"She is a ninth-rank master, be careful she drains you dry!"
Li Yunrui snorted and left.
The time has been set. We will leave Beijing tomorrow.
There is a prison under the East Palace.
However, Haitang Duoduo was not locked up here, but was served with good food and drink.
He was not abused at all.
This made Haitang Duoduo feel a little uneasy.
Walk to the window and look outside.
There is only a little eunuch guarding here.
Apart from this, there were no guards.
"The guards are so lax?" Haitang Duoduo muttered. She noticed a problem the moment she came in.
There are not many guards in the East Palace.
It seemed that the guards were very lax.
"Aren't you afraid of being assassinated?"
She opened the window and climbed out from the other side.
Actually, I didn’t really plan to escape, I just wanted to go out for a walk.
After all, I was locked up here, and the door was not locked and the windows were not closed.
This is a sure way to let people escape.
However, as soon as she turned it out, she saw the young eunuch at the main gate waiting for her outside.
"Ninth grade!"
Haitang Duoduo fell silent for a moment.
Eyes widened.
incredible.
"How can it be!"
"A little eunuch is already a ninth-rank eunuch..."
Well, she admitted that she had made a mistake.
This speed is at least at the upper ninth level!
"This East Palace is truly a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Just as she was shocked, she saw a eunuch walking very fast over there.
Obviously, he is also a martial arts master.
At this moment, she finally understood why no guards were sent.
The entire East Palace, seemingly unguarded, is actually heavily guarded.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, all of them are masters.
So it climbed back through the window.
"Hey, are you climbing through the window for fun?"
Li Chengqian came over and saw this scene, and made a teasing remark.
"How long do you plan to keep me locked up?" Haitang Duoduo asked casually, crossing her arms across her chest.
“I don’t know, it depends on my mood, but I’m going to be away for a while.
During this period, you better be good and don't cause any trouble for me.
Otherwise, when I'm not here, no one can protect you."
"Leaving, where are you going?" Haitang Duoduo asked.
"Go to Northern Qi." Li Chengqian said truthfully.
puff!
Haitang Duoduo suddenly smiled.
"You, the prince, are too unprofessional to leave the palace at every turn.
Be careful, or someone will trip you up as soon as you take a step forward.
Pull you down from the throne of the East Palace.
Also, do you think you can defeat us, Northern Qi?
The commander of the three armies of Northern Qi this time was Uesugi Tora, who had never been defeated and had a strong murderous intention.
If he knew you were going to the battlefield, he would definitely kill you at all costs!"
Haitang Duoduo looked at him as if he were a dead person.
Moreover, she really did not think highly of Li Chengqian going to the battlefield.
"We, Northern Qi, are not a tiny country like Japan."
Li Chengqian touched his nose and said, "You don't think highly of me?"
"Correct!"
Haitang Duoduo nodded.
"What if I win this war between the North and the South?" Li Chengqian asked.
"If you win."
She pondered, as if trying to figure out what to say.
"If you win, you'll let me go, how about that?"
Li Chengqian: "...As the Saintess of Northern Qi, can you please have some shame?"
Haitang Duoduo smiled easily, "I never wanted to be a saint, it was all because of my teacher's pressure."
"If I win, you probably won't be able to go back in this life."
“So, I don’t think you’ll win this battle!
If things go wrong, you might even lose your life.”
"Really? Let's wait and see."
Li Chengqian ordered that no one was allowed to take Haitang Duoduo away for any reason before he returned.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Haitang Duoduo shouted:
"and many more!"
"Is something wrong?"
Haitang Duoduo pretended to be relaxed and handed him a delicate little axe.
That was her weapon.
"What do you mean?"
"Take it with you. Maybe it will be useful when you commit suicide after being captured by Northern Qi."
