Nangong Qing looked at the Emperor and said in an annoyed tone.
"You're not trying to give me face at all; you're clearly just afraid I won't die quickly enough. Your concubines are too jealous; I bet countless of them will come looking for trouble tomorrow..."
"They dare..."
The Emperor declared domineeringly!
"Do you think they wouldn't dare? How could a mere talented woman like me withstand the onslaught of so many vicious women?"
Even though she was blaming the emperor, she still pulled him inside…
Nangong Qing prepared some simple dishes, and even though the food looked bland, the Emperor still sat down without any regard for appearances and began to eat heartily…
Then he mumbled something.
"You were unwilling to be made a concubine, but now that you've been bullied, you start complaining. Who can you blame? Isn't it your own fault?"
Hearing the Emperor say such a thing, Nangong Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and then said...
"What exactly are you trying to do? The child is innocent; how can you bear to let him face such a huge risk?"
"Oh dear, don't ask about these things. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Besides, didn't I hand over the inner and outer prefectural offices to him? What could possibly happen?"
The Emperor said nonchalantly!
"This child is pitiful, you..."
"Qingqing, don't worry, he won't die..."
"But…"
"No buts..."
The two fell silent. Clearly, Li Zhu's influence far exceeded what others had imagined. The Emperor would not let him go, and even Nangong Qing's pleas were useless!
"I've eaten today, it's time to rest..."
The Emperor didn't want to say another word about Li Zhu, which left Nangong Qing feeling somewhat helpless!
The two met in humble beginnings, their feelings were pure and innocent. The later concubines were all entangled in interests and involved in manipulating powerful families and clans...
These were all helpful at the beginning, but now that we are ruling the world, these forces have become obstacles to governing the world!
Li Zhu was unaware of his parents' situation. He was still practicing his boxing, while Wang Yanzhang lay fast asleep on the ground beside him. Unlike the lifeless Wang Yanzhang, Li Zhu became more and more excited as he practiced, as if all his unhappiness had been released...
After performing another set of punches, Li Zhu felt the black power within him become even more active, causing him to let out a long roar...
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's voice, the guards and maids in the Eastern Palace were initially taken aback, then glanced meaningfully in his direction before returning to their own tasks...
Wang Yanzhang, who was on the ground, was startled awake by the long howl. Seeing that it was Li Zhu going mad, Wang Yanzhang couldn't help but glare at him, and then said irritably.
"That's enough! You've been up all night, who can keep up like this..."
crackling sounds...
The sound of teaware falling and shattering on the floor immediately drew their attention, and they instinctively looked over…
A palace maid rushed out in a panic, as if she had discovered something terrible...
However, Li Zhu didn't take this small matter seriously. It was probably because the palace maid broke something and was afraid of being punished, so she secretly ran away. After all, he had a notorious reputation for being bloodthirsty, so it was normal for the young girl to be afraid...
After the two went back to wash up, Li Zhu prepared to take Wang Yanzhang to court. His bodyguard with a sword had been killed, so now he could only let General Wang Yanzhang act as the bodyguard with a sword!
It's a bit wasteful, but who told me to be the crown prince? The prestige has to be on point...
But just as she finished changing her clothes, she overheard the palace maids whispering about how the Crown Prince had tormented General Wang all night…
General Wang looks unwell; he's been tormented quite a bit by the Crown Prince…
Even more outrageous is the claim that he was a practitioner of "yang-replenishing" (a form of internal energy cultivation), draining General Wang's vital energy, which is why he appeared so energetic, while General Wang, having lost too much of his vital energy, was somewhat listless...
Hearing these comments, Li Zhu was seething with hatred. He was so angry he wanted to drag all the men out and chop them all up, and take the first blood from all the women. It was obvious who was responsible for this situation—the little girl who ran away that morning. It wasn't what she thought, yet she went around spreading rumors. She was so hateful…
"Your Highness, I haven't rested well, can I not go..."
Before he could even explain, Wang Yanzhang, that blockhead, dragged his tired body and yawned as he spoke!
Hehehe…
Looking at the servants around him snickering, Li Zhu slapped his forehead. This was impossible to explain. And to make matters worse, he had a clueless teammate who kept spouting nonsense, confirming everything he said…
"no…"
Li Zhu said through gritted teeth, which greatly displeased Wang Yanzhang. Being a simpleton, he naturally wouldn't give up easily and couldn't help but mock him.
"You're so heartless! I helped you so much last night, can't you even get some rest?"
Upon hearing Wang Yanzhang's words, the servants' mouths formed an "O" shape. They instantly felt that this was a real man, willing to take on any task...
Moreover, the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Zhu was somewhat contemptuous. He felt that Wang Yanzhang was right. You've tormented him like this, and you still won't let him go. It's really heartless...
"Explain yourself... What did you do to help me? All you did was teach me a set of military boxing moves, what else did you do?"
Li Zhu said irritably, trying to force an explanation...
"I taught you military boxing techniques; besides boxing, of course, you also sleep..."
"oh…"
Everyone gaped, staring at them with wide, gossipy expressions…
It's over! It's confirmed. Li Zhu was filled with despair. What he said made sense, but it didn't sound like the truth at all...
Wang Yanzhang meant to say that Li Zhu was sleeping next to him while he was practicing his boxing, but his words were disjointed and sounded more like Li Zhu had slept with him…
"You're sleeping? When did I sleep? I've been practicing boxing the whole time, okay..."
"You're practicing martial arts, so why are you so temperamental? Nobody said you weren't practicing martial arts, are they? Is knowing martial arts something to be proud of?"
Wang Yanzhang still didn't understand why Li Zhu had lost his temper. He thought Li Zhu was just unpredictable and moody. He muttered to himself, feeling wronged, which made Li Zhu's face darken...
"Am I anything special? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. You've ruined my life..."
Li Zhu said angrily!
"You're the one who killed me..."
Wang Yanzhang said, feeling wronged!
Li Zhu slapped his forehead. This idiot was truly something else; once he said something, it was outrageous...
"Let's go..."
Li Zhu didn't want to explain anymore; he felt it was pointless to explain unless he killed everyone in the Eastern Palace to silence them, which was clearly unrealistic…
Li Zhu accompanied Wang Yanzhang and Eunuch Wei to court...
Upon arriving at the imperial court, Li Zhu was immediately met with a chilling aura. News of his intrusion into the Imperial Guard camp the previous night had surely spread, and countless people were eager to use it as an excuse to kill him…
However, if even the Second Prince couldn't accomplish it, then naturally none of the court officials could either...
