Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 5 Move out of the East Palace and give way to others!
In Zhuangzi.

Li Chengqian had a heart-to-heart talk with Su Chen with a melancholy look on his face.

To sum it up.

I am an unlucky prince. My mother is dead, my father doesn't love me, my uncle doesn't like me, and there is a prince, the fourth prince Li Tai, who is always messing with me.

Look how miserable I am, why don't you just stop messing with me?

Give me the antidote, and I can give you anything you want that I can satisfy you with.

of course.

These are Li Chengqian's one-sided words, and Su Chen naturally doesn't believe them.

As the prince, he has a noble status.

Not only was his leg broken for no apparent reason, he was also poisoned. His life was in the hands of others, so he could only lower his posture and actively seek peace...

If it were Su Chen, I would kill him as long as he handed over the antidote!

Su Chen had reason to believe that Li Chengqian thought the same way.

"What on earth are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Su Chen remained silent, Li Chengqian gradually became angry, "This is good for both you and me, isn't it?"

Su Chen nodded, "But, I don't trust you at the moment."

Li Chengqian: "..."

The truth always hurts.

Su Chen stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"doing what?"

"Give me the money. I want to go to Chang'an City for a stroll."

"...?"

Li Chengqian was confused.

Are you sure you can eat me like this? ?

"you……"

blah blah.

There was a sound of footsteps coming quickly, and Wang Chong hurriedly walked over from outside, "Your Highness, something has happened."

"explain."

Wang Chong glanced at Su Chen.

Li Chengqian: "Go ahead."

Wang Chong nodded and said softly, "News came from the East Palace. Today in Taiji Palace, Ding Ai broke the news that Your Highness fell off a horse. He even listed four of Your Highness's crimes and said that Your Highness was unworthy of a monarch, making Your Highness the target of public criticism."

"Your Majesty has ordered that His Royal Highness Prince Wei personally lead three doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau to the East Palace to treat His Royal Highness's leg injury."

Li Chengqian's brows darkened and he became even angrier.

He sent someone to inform Yu Zhining to decline the opportunity to attend court, but he didn't expect the news to leak out and be brought to light.

How could Li Tai let himself go when he got this opportunity?
Su Chen glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "Is Li Tai bringing people here directly?"

Wang Chong nodded and said, "The King of Wei led his men out of the city and headed straight to Zhuangzi."

Li Chengqian's face darkened.

Su Chen looked at it and shook his head, "How miserable."

Li Chengqian smiled miserably, "It's tragic, but Brother Su, you can't escape."

Su Chen: “……?”

and many more!

Su Chen suddenly came to his senses. He was with Li Chengqian at the moment. If the King of Wei saw him, he might be considered Li Chengqian's man.
and so.

“We are all in the same boat.”

Li Chengqian said sternly, "If I am not doing well, you can't expect to live in peace either."

Su Chen: "..."

Wang Chong looked at the two of them strangely.

Su Chen sat back in his chair. Li Chengqian was in a bad situation.

When Shangshu Wang Gui passed away, he broke his leg while riding his horse too fast and was stabbed in the court.

As for the four charges mentioned by the imperial envoy, it goes without saying that they are extremely harsh.

Otherwise, the sentence "there is no image of a king" would not have been brought out.

Somehow, Li Chengqian suddenly wanted to laugh, "My position as the Eastern Palace is in jeopardy, but Brother Su is willing to stand by me. This is really a timely help!"

“Wang Chong, if Brother Su escapes, I will kill him no matter what the cost!”

Wang Chong: “Yes!”

Su Chen: "..."

I asked you to leave before but you refused. Now you want to leave?
That's too late!

Li Chengqian felt very happy.

Su Chen sighed. The change in the situation was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

However. "You still have a chance now."

“I’m all ears.”

"Bring the soldiers of the Eastern Palace, kill Li Tai first, then capture Li Er, and repeat the Xuanwu Gate Incident. This world will be yours."

Wang Chong’s eyes widened, and he immediately pulled out the knife he was holding.

rub!
The blade was placed on Su Chen's neck.

"Dog thief!"

"How dare you incite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rebellion?!"

Su Chen scratched his ears and asked, "Why is the mud monkey so loud?"

"you……"

Li Chengqian had a calm expression, as if he had expected this. He waved his hand to signal Wang Chong to be quiet. Wang Chong glared at Su Chen hatefully and put away his sword.

"My Eastern Palace...is not as good as the Prince Qin's Palace back then."

At this time.

A servant reported that the King of Wei came with three imperial doctors to ask for a meeting.

Li Chengqian laughed even more happily, at least he had pulled one back on Su Chen's side!
“Wang Chong, welcome my good brother on my behalf.”

"Yes!"

Wang Chong turned and left.

Li Chengqian propped himself up so that he could be more comfortable. "What are you thinking about, Brother Su?"

Su Chen pondered, "Do you want to be the emperor?"

“…It’s natural.”

"Then there is still a way!"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then he was shocked, "What's the plan?"

……

Under the guidance of Wang Chong, Li Tai, with a smile on his face, came to Li Chengqian with three imperial doctors.

Looking at Li Chengqian lying on the chair with his legs and feet tied tightly and crossed on the chair, Li Tai felt even happier.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Why do you have to do this, fourth brother?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness fell off his horse and accidentally injured his legs. My father ordered me to bring the imperial physician to treat His Royal Highness's legs."

After Li Tai finished speaking, he turned and looked at the three imperial doctors behind him.

After the three imperial doctors bowed and greeted Li Chengqian, they began to check Li Chengqian's sick leg, and none of them said a word.

"how?"

"Your Highness, please rest and recuperate in peace."

"In that case, I will take my leave."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Li Tai bowed and was about to leave with the three imperial doctors.

But he was stopped by Li Chengqian.

"Since my father and the other court officials are so concerned about my situation, I will follow my fourth brother into the palace."

"...?"

Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian strangely, feeling confused.

At this moment in the court, everyone's attitude towards Li Chengqian was not friendly.

But Li Chengqian didn't avoid it, but faced it head-on. This is interesting.

“Wang Chong, prepare the carriage and enter the palace.”

Li Chengqian did not give Li Tai a chance to speak, and went straight to make arrangements. With the help of everyone, he got on the carriage and headed straight for the palace.

Tai Chi Hall.

When everyone looked at Li Tai who was striding over and Li Chengqian who was carried in, they all fell silent.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Since your leg is injured, there is no need to salute."

"Thank you, Father."

Li Chengqian smiled, but his smile was mixed with bitterness.

Ding Ai stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, do you admit your guilt?"

Li Chengqian looked at Ding Ai silently, supported himself with his hands, slowly got up and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but frown and think.

What is the prince doing?
"I am the crown prince but I do not respect the rules of propriety, I am the elder brother but I fail to set a good example, and I am the son but I cause distress to my father."

"I know that I have committed serious sins and am unqualified to be the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. From today on, I will move out of the Eastern Palace and give way to someone more capable than me!"

"Father, please grant me your permission!"
