Start with a photographic memory and build a memory palace

Chapter 101 Ending
……

Renzhi Palace, Qingfu Hall.

At this moment, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng was imprisoned here.

The doors of the rooms around him were closed. He sat alone on a chair in the dark space, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

He regretted that he did not follow Xu Shimo's advice at the time and did not directly lead an army to occupy Chang'an City, cooperate with Yang Wengan to deal with Li Shimin first, and then explain the reasons to his father Emperor Li Yuan.

However, it was too late to regret now, and he could only obediently become a prisoner.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from the dark corner of the palace.

When Li Jiancheng noticed this, a look of horror appeared on his face, fearing that this person was coming to assassinate him.

But when he saw clearly that the man was Wu Wen, his fear gradually dissipated, replaced by confusion.

Because Wu Wen's physical appearance at this time was different from the last time they met, he had returned to his original thin appearance.

However, Li Jiancheng was not concerned about Wu Wen's physical changes at the moment, but asked:
"Wu Wen, how did you get in?"

Wu Wen did not answer the question directly, but said: “Your Highness, I came here to tell you that you don’t have to worry too much.

When this is over, His Majesty will naturally release you, and you will still be the crown prince."

Li Jiancheng shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "No. Yang Wengan has already started an army. In this way, even if I didn't rebel, I would have been considered a traitor.

By then, even if the emperor does not pursue me, all the civil and military officials in the court will, under the order of the King of Qin, directly accuse me of treason.

I can no longer be a prince."

Listening to Li Jiancheng's sigh, Wu Wen smiled and said, "Your Highness, you really don't have to worry. As long as His Majesty is still here, you will always be the crown prince."

"What do you mean?" Li Jiancheng asked puzzledly.

Wu Wen took a few steps forward and whispered, "Your Highness, haven't you noticed yet?
In this court, it seems that the fight is between you and the King of Qin, but in fact, the real fight is between Your Majesty and the King of Qin.

The King of Qin is so powerful that even Your Majesty has to be on guard against him.

And you are the person that His Majesty uses to check and balance the King of Qin.

Therefore, you don't have to worry at all. As long as His Majesty is still here, you will always be the crown prince!"

After hearing Wu Wen's words, Li Jiancheng did not feel happy, but laughed at himself:

"It turns out that I, the crown prince, am here to check and balance the King of Qin!"

He looked up at Wu Wen and asked, "Wu Wen, do you also feel that I am not as good as Li Shimin, the Prince of Qin?"

Wu Wen did not answer this question directly. He just stood there quietly and looked at Li Jiancheng.

"I understand!" Li Jiancheng sighed.

Wu Wen slowly retreated until his figure disappeared into the darkness again.

"I hope Li Jiancheng can listen to what I say!"

Wu Wenzhen felt sorry for Li Jiancheng.

He has the personal ability, but unfortunately, who can he compare with?

Li Jiancheng had done me a favor, and there was no way I could sit idly by and watch him die tragically under the Xuanwu Gate.

Therefore, Wu Wen planned to put an end to this matter once and for all this time.

Then, gather all your energy to pursue immortality.

—

Leave Renzhi Palace.

Wu Wen pursued Li Shimin who was going to attack Yang Wengan.

Outside Gyeongju.

Li Shimin, who led his army, was not in a hurry to attack Yang Wengang. He was waiting for someone to bring Yang Wengang's head to him.

Inside the military tent.

Li Shimin was leisurely flipping through a military book. He was in a very good mood at the moment because when he set out, Li Yuan personally promised him that as long as the rebellion was successfully suppressed, he would be named the crown prince and let Li Jiancheng go to Shu to be a leisurely king of Shu.

A soldier suddenly came forward to report: "Your Highness, the imperial physician Wu Wen wants to see you."

"Wu Wen?" Li Shimin was puzzled at first, then he put down the military book in his hand and said, "Let him in." The soldiers retreated.

After a while, Wu Wen entered the military tent.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" Wu Wen bowed.

"Wu Wen, you were not accompanying me in Renzhi Palace, why did you suddenly come here?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, it was you who planned the Crown Prince's rebellion, right?" Wu Wen said calmly.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. I came here this time just to say one thing."

Wu Wen met Li Shimin's eyes and said, "Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really rebelled, Your Majesty would not deprive him of his position as Crown Prince and appoint His Royal Highness as the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Li Shimin said in a cold voice: "If you want to save the prince, then you don't need to say anything else to persuade him."

"Because, my father has promised me that if the rebellion is successfully suppressed, I will be appointed as the crown prince, and the current crown prince will be banished to Shu and named the King of Shu."

"Your Highness, do you think it is possible?" Wu Wen continued to look into Li Shimin's eyes and asked seriously.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Li Shimin replied: "My achievements are unrivaled throughout the world and I am respected by all the people. Apart from me, who else is qualified to be the crown prince?"

Wu Wen did not refute this, because Li Shimin was right, the entire Li Tang dynasty was basically conquered by him.

"Your Highness, your achievements are beyond doubt."

"But have you ever thought about who is the one who is really preventing you from becoming the crown prince?"

When Li Shimin heard Wu Wen say this, his eyes suddenly became fierce.

He naturally knew the answer. Over the years, if Li Yuan had not protected him in every possible way, he would have long ago pushed Li Jiancheng out and become the crown prince.

Wu Wen continued, "So, do you still think that after returning to Chang'an this time, His Majesty will appoint you as the crown prince?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, but then he immediately said confidently: "My father has promised me that he will appoint me as the crown prince, and the crown prince's rebellion is a fact."

"Could it be that Father is still going back on his word and even ignoring the public opinion in the court, and still let Li Jiancheng continue to be the crown prince!?"

Wu Wen smiled slightly: "Then I will make a bold bet with Your Highness, how about it?"

"What are you betting on?" Li Shimin asked.

"Let's bet on this one, whether Your Highness will become the Crown Prince, and whether Your Highness the Crown Prince will lose his position as Crown Prince." Wu Wen replied.

The two looked at each other again.

Li Shimin said seriously: "Okay, I'll bet with you."

"But what chips can you bring out to gamble with this king?"

"I'll use myself as the bet!"

Wu Wen replied: "If Your Highness wins, I will serve Your Highness for three years, but if I win, Your Highness must owe me a promise!"

"With yourself?"

Li Shimin looked at Wu Wen and suddenly laughed:
"What ability do you have that can be worth a promise from this king?"

Hearing this, Wu Wen slowly moved forward.

Li Shimin stood up straight, not showing any fear at all. Instead, he looked at him majestically.

Just when Wu Wen was halfway close, a man in a black robe suddenly emerged from behind Li Shimin. This man was none other than the Faceless of the Zhanbo tribe.

Wu Lian pulled down the cap on his head, revealing his entire face and those deep eyes. He stared at Wu Wen closely and murmured something.

Wu Wen continued to walk slowly forward.

She simply ignored his magic to confuse the devil, stretched out her five fingers and directly grabbed his face, then threw him away.

Standing in front of Li Shimin, he said calmly: "Your Highness, I will give you a hundred breaths of time to escape, and then I will prove to you what I am capable of."
