Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 297: Something Without Suspense

Palace, backyard.

After a long competition, the entire backyard was filled with dust.

On the ground, there were scattered piles of rubble and weapons, a vivid scene of a battle.

Xie Bian, Li Cunxiao and others who had just demonstrated their strength were also sweating profusely.

Especially Li Chengze, who was a spectator, was very excited when he saw such a wonderful scene.

This is much more interesting than reading books and picture books.

Afterwards, Li Chengze said to everyone: "Okay, we have played enough for today, everyone can take a rest first."

"Something big will happen in the palace in the next few days."

"So, it's best for everyone not to go out and just stay in the mansion."

"If you have any requests, please let me know."

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement and then turned and left.

Li Chengze stretched lazily and walked towards the bedroom.

I couldn’t go out these few days, so I had to go back to sleep.

Afterwards, Li Chengze returned to the bedroom.

at the same time.

The carriage that Li Chengru and Li Chengping were riding in had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the driver lifted the curtain and said inside: "Your Highness, Your Highness, we have arrived at the palace."

Li Chengping got off the carriage first, looked at the house in front of him, and said excitedly:
“We’re already here.”

"This is my second brother's residence. It's really magnificent."

Although he and Li Chengze are brothers.

However, because of the previous crown prince, they hardly dared to communicate too much.

So, even though my second brother has been living out of town for so many years, he has never come here even once.

Now, among all the princes, no one has the intention to compete for the throne of the crown prince, so he won't have to worry about anything else and can come here at will.

Not only him, but even the eldest brother Li Chengru came to Li Chengze's palace for the first time in his life.

Li Chengru used to fight in the army, and only recently did he return to live in the palace.

So, there is no chance to come here.

Now seeing the palace in front of me, I have a different feeling.

At this time, the guard who was in charge of standing guard at the gate of the palace saw Li Chengru and Li Chengping, and knew that they were either rich or noble, so he immediately went to greet them.

He clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Who are you two and what brings you here?"

Li Chengping took out a jade token from his bosom, handed it to the guard, and said:
"We are here to look for someone."

The guard took the jade token and immediately knelt down on the ground after seeing the words on it, bowed and said:

"Meet the Third Prince."

Li Chengping took the jade token and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be polite."

"Is my second brother at home?"

The guard replied, "His Highness is in the mansion and has not gone out today."

"Okay." Li Chengping nodded and said, "Go call some people to bring the gifts on the carriage inside."

"We are going to see the second brother."

The guard stood up and said, "Your Highnesses, please come in."

After Li Chengru and Li Chengping entered the palace, the guard immediately waved his hand towards the courtyard and said:

"Come on, some people, move the things in quickly."

the other side.

Li Chengze had just arrived at the bedroom and was about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the door.

"What's going on?" Li Chengze asked.

A servant replied, "Your Highness, you have a guest."

"Guest?" Li Chengze asked, "Who is it?"

The servant said, "It's the First Prince and the Third Prince."

"They are waiting for you in the living room now."

The eldest and the third?

Why are they here? Li Chengze said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Then, Li Chengze left the bedroom and walked towards the living room.

Soon, when he came to the living room, he saw Li Chengru and Li Chengping sitting on stools drinking tea.

"Boss, Third Brother, why are you here?"

"And you didn't even tell me in advance, so I sent someone to greet you."

When Li Chengping saw Li Chengze, he put down the teacup in his hand, stood up from the stool, and said with a smile:
"Second brother."

"We have come specially to congratulate you."

Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Sit down."

"You all know about this too?"

Li Chengru nodded slightly without saying anything.

Li Chengping immediately said, "Of course, you don't know how busy the palace is right now."

"Oh?" Li Chengze asked back: "Why?"

Li Chengping said: "Of course we are preparing for the enthronement ceremony in five days."

"This is a great thing, so of course we have to prepare well."

Li Chengze shrugged helplessly and said, "Actually, I didn't want to do this, but my father insisted on doing it."

At this time, Li Chengru said, "Second Brother, given the current situation, the position of Crown Prince is no longer up to you."

"After all, there is no one in the entire Qing Kingdom who is more suitable to be the crown prince than you."

Li Chengze also understood what the boss meant.

Things have come to this point, even if he doesn't want to, there is nothing that can be done.

There will always be someone pushing you from behind.

And if his predictions were correct.

The mansion will be bustling in the next few days.

I believe that all the civil and military officials in the court would come to him to give him symbolic gifts.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.

Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. You guys finally came here, let's have a good drink today."

"If you are drunk, just rest in the mansion."

"Okay, okay." Li Chengping immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Li Chengru also nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, I don't have any tasks in the recent period of time."

Li Chengze smiled and said, "Then don't wait, let's start now."

"Someone, go and ask the kitchen to prepare the food and bring some good wine."

"Today, the three of us brothers will not go home until we are drunk."

……

Lin Mansion, study room.

In the room, Lin Ruofu stood in front of the table, holding a brush in one hand and writing on rice paper.

As the brush in his hand moved, a few big words quickly appeared on the paper.

At this time, the door was opened and a person ran in from outside.

"Dad, there is news."

Lin Ruofu didn't take it seriously and continued writing, saying, "What news?"

Lin Gong said, "Just now, news came from the palace that His Majesty has confirmed that the throne of Crown Prince will be passed to the Second Prince, Li Chengze."

"The enthronement ceremony will be held in Taiji Hall in five days."

Lin Ruofu said: "I already know about this."

"What, you know?" Lin Gong asked in surprise.

Lin Ruofu nodded and said, "There is absolutely no doubt about this matter. He is the only one who can take the position of Crown Prince."

"Now you know why I didn't let you become enemies with the Second Prince."

Lin Gong suddenly realized: "So that's what happened."

"Fortunately, I stopped early before that."

"That beating was really worth it."
