Chapter 276 The King of Qi Escapes Successfully
When these two tough guys were fighting each other desperately, a cold laugh was heard from the door.
"Why, have you been wronged by helping me? The Fourth and Fifth Princes are already so noble, but are they so spoiled that they can't even approve a memorial?"
The fourth and fifth brothers froze in place when they heard the devilish sound, and the two brothers looked up with stiff necks.
"Hehehe, Third Brother..."
"Third brother, hehehe..."
The fourth and fifth brothers who accidentally bumped into each other cursed each other in their hearts, calling each other "bastards!"
The prince walked in with a sullen face, glaring fiercely at the pair of idiots. If he didn't still have some respect for the dignity of a crown prince, he would have wanted to follow his father's example and take off his shoes to give these two a good beating.
Logically speaking, one silly roe deer is enough, so why did the Li family have a pair at once?
"Let go and stand still!"
Fortunately, these two things were obedient and did as they were told quickly, so the prince was able to take a deep breath and persuade himself to calm down.
"Old Four, you want to run?"
"Who said that?"
Li Chengxiu refused to admit it.
"Haven't I been home for several days? My great-grandmother had my grandfather appear in my dream last night, saying that the chickens in our backyard vegetable garden have laid eggs, and if I don't go back to eat them, the eggs will go rot!"
"Would you like to try making up another story?"
The prince raised his right hand towards his annoying brother, who admitted it with an unwilling pout.
"Okay, I want to go home. I miss my wife and children! Third brother, I've been helping you here for ten days and a half months, right? I see that your beauty seems to have returned. My child misses him, so can you let me go home and take a look?"
The prince did not give a direct answer, but turned his cold eyes to Li Jingxiu again.
"Old Five, what are you doing here?"
"I'm fine, it's just that my legs weren't listening and I was wandering around. Don't be angry, Third Brother, I'm leaving right now, right now..."
As he was speaking, he raised his legs and wanted to run, but the wicked fourth brother who was standing next to him grabbed Destiny's neck.
"Don't leave!"
Seeing Li Laowu raising his legs and wanting to run away so casually, Li Laosi was extremely jealous.
"Brother, you have to let me go home today! Lao Wu is here, so it's not a problem to ask him to help you, right?"
"That's definitely not possible, Fourth Brother! I'm mentally ill! If you don't believe me, just look, ho, ho ho ho!"
Li Laowu screamed and rolled his eyes, nearly twisting himself into a knot in Li Laosi's hands. It was unclear whether he was mentally ill, but his mind was definitely not normal.
"Stop pretending! Stand up straight!"
"If you let go, I'll be worth it!"
Li Laosi let go of his claws in a gentle manner, and Li Laowu ran away, leaving a trail of afterimages on the ground.
"Fuck, you little bastard, come back here!"
Li Laosi also cursed and chased them out, and the two brothers quickly left the Eastern Palace, leaving the prince standing there with a gloomy face, his lips curled up in an angry sneer.
"Give orders to guard the four gates of the capital. Anyone who dares to let the King of Qi escape will be killed!"
"yes."
The personal eunuch Li Zhongyi bowed respectfully and responded, then quickly left and ordered someone to carry out the crown prince's order.
The prince walked over to where Li Chengxiu had just sat, then flipped open the memorial he had reviewed. The red comments, which looked like they had been scratched by a dog's paw, made his eyelids twitch in anger.
"You ignorant bastard, don't ever call yourself my brother again. You're really bringing shame to me!"
Fortunately, although the handwriting was ugly, the matter was handled fairly well, which finally made the prince feel better.
He opened and checked the memorials that his brother had reviewed one by one, and made sure that they were all handled properly. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
As it was getting dark, Li Zhongyi came in to ask for instructions.
"Your Highness, the palace maid serving Concubine Zhou Liang just came to report that the Emperor's eldest grandson has started crying again. Would you like to go and take a look?"
The prince paused for a moment while flipping through the memorials, thinking of Li Xun's innocent little face. He lowered his eyes to hide the mixed feelings of love and hate in them.
"Go tell Concubine Zhou Liang that I'm too busy today to visit them again in a few days. If the Emperor's grandson is feeling unwell, please send for the imperial physician as soon as possible."
"yes."
Li Zhongyi retreated quickly and told the eunuch waiting outside what the prince had said. The eunuch, knowing what was going on, bowed and returned to the harem.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't come?"
Zhou Liangdi held the emperor's eldest grandson in her arms and looked behind the palace maids with eager eyes. Yunxia, the personal maid holding her own son, was almost in tears watching her.
"Master, didn't you hear what Xiao Yanzi said just now? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy! When he has time, he will definitely come to visit us. Even if he doesn't miss you, he still has to miss the two grandchildren, right?"
This truly was the bond between master and servant, a bond they'd shared since childhood. An ordinary palace maid wouldn't have dared to offer such advice. Zhou Liangdi knew it was all an excuse, but she still nodded as if it was natural.
She hugged the emperor's eldest grandson tightly in her arms, and the kindness and gentleness in her eyes were very obvious.
"You're right. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't miss the child I gave birth to, he still has to miss the eldest grandson!"
Looking at Li Xun, who was finally coaxed to sleep in her arms, the other's eyebrows and eyes really looked more and more like the deceased Crown Princess, which made Zhou Liangdi feel sad.
In the beginning, he was able to enter the Eastern Palace thanks to his cousin, the Crown Princess. Who could have known that in the blink of an eye, both the Crown Princess and the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion were gone?
Ever since the Empress fell ill, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought the Emperor's eldest grandson back to the Eastern Palace and handed him over to his care, and his care for him was far less than before.
Zhou Liangdi didn't dare ask the Crown Prince what had happened. She could only do her best to take good care of the Emperor's eldest grandson, not to disappoint the Crown Prince's trust, and to fulfill the sisterly bond she had with the Crown Princess.
The sadness in the master's eyes could not deceive the palace maids who accompanied her closely, so Yunxia could only try her best to comfort her.
"It must be because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too busy. You see, although he hasn't come to our place, he also has no time to go to Guo Liangdi's place, right?"
"Don't try to persuade me, I understand the truth."
Zhou Liangdi smiled virtuously.
"Both children are asleep. Put them both back to bed."
"Oh, okay."
The master and servant turned and went into the inner room, letting the slowly setting sun in the west take away the last remaining warmth in the cold palace.
Li Chengxiu chased Li Jingxiu all the way out of the Eastern Palace, and did not dare to delay in front of his parents. He ran to the palace gate, jumped on his horse, and hurried home as fast as possible.
A small tail caught up with it.
"Fourth brother, wait for me!"
"I can't wait! I'm going home to see my wife and kids, why are you following me?"
"Hey, you really don't make any sense at all. If I hadn't cooperated with you, wouldn't you still be working like a slave under Third Brother?"
