"Your Highness, His Majesty has decreed that you are not allowed to leave the palace!"
"I'm leaving the palace, and who dares to stop me!"
"I……"
Although Zhang Gui couldn't stop Li Jue, the guards at Yanxi Gate managed to stop him.
"Your Highness Prince Yong, His Majesty has decreed that you are not allowed to leave the palace!"
"You...you dare to do this!"
"I'm leaving the palace, and let's see who dares to stop me!"
The guards didn't dare to stop him; they simply escorted Li Jue to Chengtian Gate, handed him over to the guards there, and ran off.
Li Jue was thrown back into Taiji Palace, where he was so angry that he was in a state of impotent rage for half an hour. Finally, having no other choice, he returned to Lizheng Hall in a huff.
Back at the Lizheng Hall, Li Jue grew increasingly angry. Finally, half an hour later, he mustered the courage to go to the Ganlu Hall for the first time to question Li Shimin.
"Li...Aunt Li, why won't you let me leave the palace!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Jue, who was questioning him, with a smile, and simply asked a question.

"Nephew, who has made you angry again?"
"Who else could it be but your father!"
"Did your grandfather punish you again?"
"No!"
“Your father just locked me up in the palace and wouldn’t let me out…”
"Auntie, I'm so bored! Can you take me out for a walk?"
Upon hearing this, Si Zi shook his head.
"no!"
"No one dares to disobey your grandfather's decree. You will have to ask your grandfather for help in this matter. Only if your grandfather speaks up will I dare to take you out of the palace."
"Ask him?"
Li Jue had been staying in the palace for more than ten days, and today was the first time he had taken the initiative to see Li Shimin. How could he possibly ask Li Shimin for such a trivial matter?
He now misses his days in Sanglin Village very much, and even more so, the days of freedom on the grassland.
If he had known that returning to the Tang Dynasty would mean being imprisoned in the palace by Emperor Li Er, he would never have come back!
