The Eastern Palace.

Ever since Li Zhi returned from Shuozhou, he has been busy with moving house every day.

He already had a residence in Chang'an, so even if he moved out of the Eastern Palace, he would still have a place to live.

However, after returning from Shuozhou, neither his father nor Li Jue urged him to move.

Therefore, he stayed in the East Palace and refused to leave, only occasionally moving some things into the mansion.

In fact, Li Zhi didn't have much to do. The furniture and servants in the Eastern Palace were all arranged by his father, and in principle, these things should be left to Li Jue.

Aside from that, only some books, calligraphy practice books, and clothes belong to him.

But this amount of stuff could be moved by three or five horse-drawn carriages; it wouldn't take that long at all.

The reason he's dawdling like this is simply because he's waiting, waiting for an opportunity...

What if His Majesty remembers his good deeds again, or Li Jue offends His Majesty for some reason? Wouldn't he be able to become the Crown Prince again?

That's right, Li Zhi wants to be the crown prince again!

He even wanted to go further and bypass the crown prince to become emperor directly!

The reason is simple: only by becoming emperor can one marry the woman one loves!

A eunuch hurriedly shoved a note into his hand.

After reading it, Li Zhi was deeply moved to learn that Wu Meiniang had almost been disfigured by bees while trying to help him.

Mei Niang!

I will definitely persevere and will never let you down!

But... but I'm afraid I can't hold on much longer...

Li Zhi knew very well that the only reason Li Jue hadn't asked him to vacate the house was that he was busy with his elder brother's wedding.

Once Li Xiang's marriage is over, I can no longer linger in the Eastern Palace!
