The two of them haven't woken up yet, so Master Li has a good opportunity to interrogate them.
Li Tiansheng chuckled a few times and said, "I originally thought you were colluding with these two to harm us! I was thinking of knocking you out and handing you over to the authorities, but since you've already 'betrayed' us, handing you over to Magistrate Yang would be like walking into a trap. So I was thinking of knocking you out and sending you to Jiangbei Prefecture!"
Li Tiansheng, on the other hand, spoke his mind without reservation, revealing all his thoughts at once.
Master Li was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
"Do I look like a bad guy?" Master Li asked.
As he spoke, he even stood up straight and looked directly into Li Tiansheng's eyes.
Li Tiansheng hurriedly shook his head, and then Li Shiye looked at Han Mingyue and Yuanbao, who naturally shook their heads as well.
“But Lili said, you can’t judge a book by its cover…” Li Tiansheng said honestly.
The clerk, who had just calmed down, was almost choked by Li Tiansheng's words again.
Master Li plopped down in the chair next to him, fuming and ignoring Li Tiansheng.
Han Mingyue and Yuanbao's lips twitched as they tried to suppress their laughter, while Li Tiansheng and Zhang Er looked completely bewildered.
I don't understand why Master Li is angry.
"Has Master Li had enough to eat?"
Master Li ignored Li Tiansheng, but Li Tiansheng started a conversation.
After all, when these two wake up, they'll need Master Li's help to plead for them.
Li Tiansheng was clear about this point.
Master Li didn't want to talk to Li Tiansheng anymore, but his stomach started growling.
Li Tiansheng understood instantly, chuckled, and without waiting for Master Li to speak again, he jogged towards the kitchen.
Seeing that the Gu family was temporarily out of danger, Han Mingyue told Master Li and went back to the kitchen.
The two put down their kitchen knives, and Li Tiansheng quickly told the Gu family the whole story.
"Tian Sheng, you must be joking!" Old Mrs. Li looked at Li Tian Sheng in disbelief.
Not only did Li Tiansheng disbelieve it, but the Gu family members present were also incredulous.
It's not that they don't believe Chang'an is the Crown Prince, but rather that they find it hard to believe that the current Crown Prince has been living with them here for several months.
During this period, they also helped with farm work.
It felt like a dream.
Even in my dreams, I can't imagine this.
“Mother, Master Li said it himself, so it can’t be wrong. You and Chenxi shouldn’t go back to the Li family for now. Get some food. Master Li and the others haven’t eaten yet. Once the two people in the room wake up, the truth will come out,” Li Tiansheng said patiently.
Grandma Li and Gu Chenxi quickly made time to prepare a new meal.
Li Tiansheng then instructed the three children to go about their own business after eating.
Seeing that she was no longer needed, Han Mingyue took her leave and returned to the academy with Yuanbao.
When the food was brought to the room with the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed), Li Tiansheng discovered that Wei Yin had already woken up.
It seems that Master Li has already told Wei Yin the whole story.
After Li Tiansheng, Gu Chenxi, and Old Madam Li put down the food, he waved his hand, signaling his mother and Gu Chenxi to leave, and then lowered his head guiltily.
Wei Yin, who had just woken up from anesthesia, was still a little dazed.
However, he had heard clearly what Master Li had said earlier.
"Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Yin asked.
Now is not the time to argue with Li Tiansheng; it is more important to find His Highness the Crown Prince.
Li Tiansheng hurriedly said, "Chang'an... Oh! No! His Highness the Crown Prince and Lili went south to Jiangdu, saying they were looking for some business opportunities and also to help His Highness find his family."
Li Tiansheng naturally told the whole story without reservation, believing that honesty is the best policy!
"What did you say! When did this happen?!" Wei Yin exclaimed excitedly.
I had been hoping to see His Highness the Crown Prince today, but I was disappointed to find that I hadn't arrived.
Fortunately, His Highness is safe and sound, which put Wei Yin at ease.
Li Tiansheng replied truthfully, "We've been gone for seven or eight days!"
Wei Yin couldn't help but sigh. Wasn't this the time when they had just arrived in Donghai Town?
Unexpectedly, we missed out on His Highness the Crown Prince by sheer coincidence.
If he knew that the table where the two of them were sitting at Baiweixuan was the same table where Chang'an and the others had just eaten, Wei Yin would probably sigh even more.
For now, all we can do is wait for Wei Yue to wake up before discussing how to find Prince Qujiang.
Wei Yin was also hungry, so he and Li Shiye ate together while waiting for Wei Yue to wake up.
The yamen runners were taken to the kitchen by Li Tiansheng to eat.
After waiting for about an hour, Wei Yue still did not wake up.
Wei Yin's face showed anxiety, and not only him, but Li Tiansheng's forehead also began to sweat.
Logically speaking, Wei Yin and Wei Yue were knocked unconscious around the same time, but Wei Yue has not woken up for so long.
He was genuinely worried that something might happen to Wei Yue.
"Why hasn't my elder brother woken up yet!" Wei Yin couldn't help but shout.
He had been pacing around the room and happened to be standing in front of Li Tiansheng. He couldn't help but question him.
Although they were His Highness the Crown Prince's saviors, the person lying on the kang (heated brick bed) in front of him was his own brother.
How could Wei Yin not be anxious?
Li Tiansheng naturally knew nothing about the matter and shook his head in confusion.
He really didn't know why Wei Yue hadn't woken up.
Wei Yin glared at Li Tiansheng, then hurried to check on Wei Yue's condition.
His breathing was steady, and there was even a slight snoring sound.
It was obvious that he was asleep, so Wei Yin had no choice but to continue waiting.
Little did they know that Wei Yue's tense nerves, which had been stretched taut for the past few months, finally relaxed completely after hearing from Master Li that the Crown Prince was on the move and that the Crown Prince was perfectly fine.
Having not had a good night's sleep for months, and with the added effect of Li Tiansheng's anesthetic, Wei Yue fell into a deep sleep.
Poor Li Tiansheng, along with Wei Yin and Master Li, waited in fear until nightfall.
Several times, if Wei Yin hadn't been able to hear Wei Yue snoring, he would have rushed over and given Li Tiansheng a good beating.
Gu Yun Chu's eyes were twitching, so she returned home very early today.
As soon as she got home, she saw the yamen runners in the courtyard and the light coming from Chang'an's room, and Gu Yun Chu knew something was wrong.
Just as Grandma Li was about to chase after Gu Yun Chu from the kitchen to tell her about what happened today, she found that Gu Yun Chu had already arrived in the room.
Grandma Li then gave up and told Li Tiansheng that it would be the same to talk to him.
Gu Yun Chu pushed open the door with a wary expression, and what came into view was Wei Yin grabbing his third uncle by the collar and loudly questioning him.
Without a second thought, Gu Yunchu raised the tranquilizer gun she had prepared beforehand and shot it at Wei Yin.
"Yun Chu, no!" Li Tiansheng quickly called out to stop her.
