Chapter 692: Entering the Palace to Meet the Emperor of Dali
The territory of Dali Kingdom that was taken away by Li Cheng was taken back again.
But for such a long time, ever since he returned to the Great Chu Kingdom from the Dali Kingdom with Song Qingyan, there has been no news from Pei Chuyan.
It seems that he doesn't have such an idea.
But now Li Cheng is becoming more and more ridiculous.
Maybe he discovered their last meeting with Song Qingyan, or maybe he was already dissatisfied with Prince Yixuan, and now he was becoming more and more excessive towards the entire Prince Yixuan's mansion.
Even every now and then, King Uiseon was detained in the palace.
It was not only a declaration of his sovereignty, but also a vent of his dissatisfaction with King Ui Xuan.
"This time you come, I'm afraid Li Cheng will step up the investigation, fearing that Pei Chuyan will come with you."
"He is extremely afraid of this kind of thing now. Perhaps it is because he harmed his brother in the past. Now he is even more afraid of what these ghosts and gods say."
"That's why he contacted this warlock so frequently, hoping that the warlock would give him some support."
"It seems I have done it several times, but I don't know what the results are."
"But recently, he has been looking for me more and more often."
King Yixuan knew very well in his heart that it was just the ghost in Li Cheng's heart that was causing trouble.
The Fourth Prince naturally understood these things. He nodded to King Yixuan in front of him and said, "Don't worry, uncle. Father asked me to make this trip just for this matter."
"After meeting my uncle today, I should hurry to the palace."
"Since I'm here in Dali, and as a prince of Dachu, I should pay my respects to the emperor of Dali."
When it came to this, King Yixuan suddenly became worried.
He naturally knew that since the Fourth Prince came to Dali Kingdom as the Prince of Da Chu, it was inevitable for him to enter the palace to meet the Emperor.
But before he met the Fourth Prince, he thought it was natural. But the moment he saw him, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Although Concubine Wen was his biological sister, everyone saw how Li Cheng treated her.
Now he regarded Da Chu as a thorn in his side. If he really wanted to kill the Fourth Prince, then...
The Fourth Prince used to ignore these political affairs, but in recent years he has been studying with the Crown Prince. Although he has been deliberately avoiding them most of the time, he has learned a lot.
He naturally understood King Yixuan's concerns.
He smiled and stepped forward to salute King Yixuan again: "Uncle, don't worry, since my father dared to let me come to the Dali Kingdom, there must be arrangements."
Too.
No matter what bloodline the Fourth Prince has, he is ultimately a prince of Great Chu and the biological son of the Emperor of Great Chu, so he will naturally protect him.
Even if it wasn't for the sake of bloodline, for the sake of the face of the Great Chu Kingdom, he would never let the Fourth Prince get into trouble in the Dali Kingdom.
And Li Cheng probably wouldn't dare to do that.
After all, there is a huge gap in the strength of the two countries. If the Great Li Kingdom dares to act rashly, it will probably give the Great Chu Kingdom a reason to go to war.
After speaking a few more words to Prince Yixuan and his wife, the Fourth Prince left Prince Yixuan's mansion.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, he asked the guards beside him to buy some things for him, while he himself chatted with one of the guards beside him.
This guard is Pei Chuyan, who has now changed his appearance.
"Look, what should we do next?"
For some reason, Pei Chuyan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
The sorcerer who used to be in Changqiu Palace might be the person who is now in Dali Kingdom.
Although he didn't quite understand, he could tell from Lu Xingwan's expression that she didn't have a very good impression of the person who appeared in Changqiu Palace.
It can even be said that he is extremely disgusted, so from the very beginning, he did not have any good feelings towards this person.
"According to the rules, Your Highness should go to the palace to meet the Emperor of Dali."
"I will need to change my clothes later and serve as a servant to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
"If I go in wearing this armor, the Emperor of Dali will not even let me into the palace."
The Fourth Prince was always somewhat uneasy in his heart, but fortunately, Prince Pei was by his side. With him around, he felt a lot more at ease.
Naturally, there were also many people with great martial arts skills among the crowd with them. At least, the secret guards around the Fourth Prince and Pei Chuyan were following them.
The Great Chu Emperor even dispatched two men from the Dragon Shadow Guard to protect the Fourth Prince.
It's just that it was deployed by Pei Chuyan.
The fourth prince only needs to be a "tool". He came here to cover up their real purpose.
They had only heard some rumors, so they came to see the current situation of the Dali Kingdom.
In order to make things more realistic, Concubine Wen even sent a letter to Dali Kingdom in advance.
Everything had been arranged in advance, all just to protect the Fourth Prince.
Everything went very smoothly. The Fourth Prince and Pei Chuyan, who was dressed as a servant, walked towards the palace.
Just as Pei Chuyan thought, all those who wore armor were left outside the palace, and the people around Li Cheng even came to check on them personally and looked at them one by one.
Pei Chuyan was also very clear that he must be looking for him.
But fortunately, the disguised person he was looking for was very skilled. He couldn't detect anything. Pei Chuyan could even firmly believe that even if Lu Xingwan and the Royal Concubine stood in front of him now, they would not be able to recognize him.
The two of them met Li Cheng smoothly.
When he first saw the two of them, Li Cheng's eyes kept wandering over their faces, trying to see something heretical on their faces.
But he looked around and made sure he didn't see anything unusual.
He smiled lightly. It seemed that the news from the secret guards in Da Chu was true. Pei Chuyan really did not come to Dali Kingdom.
Perhaps it is much better for Pei Chuyan to be the prince of Anguo in the Great Chu Kingdom now than to return to the Dali Kingdom and compete with him for the throne.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.
The Great Chu State is indeed developing rapidly, and our own Great Li State cannot compare with it at all.
Perhaps it was because Pei Chuyan did not come to Dali Kingdom that the emperor agreed with the Fourth Prince's statement. It turned out that he came to Dali Kingdom just to visit his relatives.
The Fourth Prince, naturally, stepped forward and saluted Li Cheng very respectfully. However, the etiquette he performed was not that between a monarch and his subjects, but rather that between the elders and the younger generations.
The ceremony performed was naturally the etiquette of the Great Chu State.
In fact, they are all pretty much the same.
The Yuefeng and Dali kingdoms were founded later, and all their etiquette was based on that of the Da Chu.
Including political rules and regulations.
The Fourth Prince hated the Emperor of Dali Kingdom to the extreme.
If it weren't for his father and the Great Chu Kingdom, he would never have made this trip to the Dali Kingdom.
