Tang Dynasty: Starting at Xuanwu Gate, this prince is better off not being one.

"You old eunuch, you're asking for death! How dare you kick my snowball!"

A smug voice pulled Li Yu and the others out of their surprise.

Not far away, a short, fat boy with a bloated build was jumping up and down and cursing at Chu He.

"Hold!"

Upon seeing this person, Li Yu and the others all started swearing.

Because that person was none other than Li Yuanchang, the youngest son of Li Yuan and the uncle of Li Yu and Li Chengqian.

This guy is a complete bastard. Relying on Li Yuan's favor, he was lawless in the palace before Li Yuan abdicated, and his misdeeds were countless in the entire city of Chang'an.

Li Er wanted to send him to his fiefdom, but Li Yuan refused, using both soft and hard tactics, which troubled him greatly. He was only about the same age as Li Yu, yet he had already gotten several palace maids pregnant; if he stayed, who knew what chaos the palace would descend into.

Having exhausted all other options, Li Er could only place him in the Taiji Palace, placing him under the personal supervision of Li Yuan. As for how he would be treated in the future, that was no longer within his consideration…

Li Yuanchang was very displeased that the old eunuch hadn't reacted at all despite his long-winded scolding.

So he ignored the fierce looks Li Yu and the others gave him and rushed over to kick Chu He.

"Oh shit!"

Before he could rush over, Li Yu kicked him to the ground in the snow.

Not far away, the girl who had been following Li Yuanchang was trembling with fear.

"You...you dare kick me?"

Li Yuanchang, who had been shoved into his collar with snow, lay on the ground, looking at the group with a mixture of shock and anger.

"You dare attack me? I'll kick you!"

Li Yu made a move to kick him again, but was stopped by Li Chengqian.

"Little Fish, it's not worth beating him up here with Grandpa. We should wait until we leave the palace..."

Li Yu felt that Li Chengqian's words made sense, so he stopped paying attention to Li Yuanchang and prepared to leave.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Yuanchang provoked them again. He scrambled to his feet, grabbed two handfuls of snow, and threw them all over Li Yu and the others.

Holy crap!

Li Yu could no longer tolerate it and rushed forward to kick him to the ground again. Not only that, but Li Chengqian and his two brothers were also enraged. They cursed and joined Li Yu in beating up Li Yuanchang.

"You bunch of bastards! How dare you beat up your royal uncle! I'm going to tell my father!" Amid the chaos, Li Yuanchang continued to shout.

"Pah!" Li Yu stopped, then scoffed, "You call yourself a royal uncle? You dare to complain?"

After saying that, the group attacked even more fiercely.

"I'm satisfied! I'm satisfied! Go quickly and find my father!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing the name, Li Yu paused for a moment, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere before.

While Li Yu was still in a daze, Li Yuanchang took advantage of the gap and climbed out from Li Yu's side. Then, he said a harsh word to the group and fled with the girl named Chengxin.

"Damn it! You just wait!"

Li Yuanchang's voice faded into the distance, but Li Yu paid no attention.

He stared intently at the girl, then suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes widening instantly.

"Why did you let him get away!" Li Chengqian looked at Li Yu in confusion as Li Yuanchang's figure gradually blurred.

"You must never have too much contact with Li Yuanchang again. That guy is not normal..." Li Yu murmured as he stared at the two black dots in the distance.

"What's wrong?" Li Chengqian asked curiously. "I haven't spoken to him in a long time."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu nodded.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, which had been seeping from beating Li Yuanchang, and then said something shocking: "The maid next to Li Yuanchang should be a man..."

"puff!"

Li Chengqian almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Not only that, even Li Tai and Li Ke looked incredulous. Even the old eunuch Chu He, who was usually calm and collected when faced with Li Yuanchang's insults, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"How is this possible!" Li Chengqian exclaimed, then gagged slightly in disgust.

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Li Yu's eyes widened in disbelief: "You wouldn't be with him!!!"

After saying that, he took two steps to keep his distance from Li Chengqian.

"No, no, how could that be! I am the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I only desire daughters from respectable families..."

Li Yu stared at Li Chengqian's face suspiciously, feeling that the guy was a little guilty.

He was about to ask when he noticed that everyone around him, except Chu He, was staring at Li Chengqian with strange expressions, so he pulled Li Chengqian aside.

"I'm warning you, if you really have some shady dealings with that Chengxin, then your father will skin you alive and tear your tendons out of the water, and that will be the least of your worries," Li Yu said in a low voice.

"That's not true!" Li Chengqian waved his hands repeatedly, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "This Chengxin is a musician from the Court of Imperial Sacrifices. I thought he was quite handsome and wanted him to be my maid, but after hearing what you just said, that this guy is a male prostitute, I feel utterly disgusted..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Li Chengqian doesn't repeat the mistakes of history, everything will be fine. Moreover, after I said that, even if he still harbors ulterior motives towards that Chengxin, he wouldn't dare to do anything outrageous.

"You've seen it too, that Li Yuanchang is a pervert, and there aren't any normal people around him. If you hang out with him, you'll also be rumored to be a pervert who likes to pedophiles."

"Also, you must be careful when riding horses in the future. You can't ride like you usually do, as if you want to attach the horse's legs to your body. That's just asking for death."

Li Yu stared intently at Li Chengqian and gave him instructions.

"I don't like child molestation, and I don't like hanging out with Li Yuanchang!" Li Chengqian retorted, his face flushed. "I like beautiful women!"

"Besides, I was just riding a horse, it's not as serious as you're making it out to be. Why are you always focusing on my legs..." He felt that Li Yu was exaggerating.

Li Yu rolled his eyes at Li Chengqian and said irritably, "Good advice is useless to a damn fool. Anyway, that's all I have to say. You figure it out yourself..."

After saying that, he beckoned Li Tai and Li Ke to head towards the Taiji Palace.

"How strange..." Li Chengqian scratched his head and muttered to himself before following after them.

.........

"Eunuch Chu, if Li Yuanchang causes you trouble, just tell the Emperor that I ordered you to do it. You've served the Emperor for half your life, he won't do anything to you."

On the way, Li Yu spoke comforting words to Chu He as they walked.

"This old servant thanks Your Highness." Chu He's old face was now beaming with joy. "However, Your Highness, you are overthinking this. The Emperor Emeritus has already instructed that if Prince Lu makes things difficult for this old servant in the palace, this old servant only needs to ignore him."
