I was completely baffled. I must have done something to offend you.

But when he thought about how she was Ye Zhong's daughter, who was said to be extremely violent and often beat Li Chengze until he screamed in pain.

Feeling a lingering fear, she turned and walked towards Li Chengze.

Li Chengze, who was lying on the ground counting ants, suddenly felt a shadow cover his side.

Looking up, he saw Li Chengqian's annoyed face. He knelt down and stared straight ahead at the door of the Imperial Study.

Keep spacing out!

"Oh, my royal brother is counting ants."

Li Chengze broke down completely, seemingly unable to resist this guy.

If you can't speak, then don't speak.

If you really have nothing better to do, go and do something reckless; sooner or later you'll lose your position.

Li Chengqian's forehead veins bulged, but since he needed a favor, he had no choice but to hold back.

"Your Majesty, if I have done anything wrong, please apologize in advance."

But could you tell me what Father Emperor meant when he kept telling me to clarify things?

Li Chengze looked up at Li Chengqian with a start. He thought the first half of what he said was not bad.

The second half of the sentence is hilarious.

"You don't even know?"

"What do you mean 'know' or 'don't know'? You were speaking in riddles outside the Imperial Study just now."

Li Chengze confirmed it, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"It's good that you don't know. I didn't expect you to not know. I won't tell you."

That expression, that smile.

Li Chengqian had seen this many times; he was clearly gloating.

Whenever Li Chengze shows this kind of face, it's always a sign that you're about to be in trouble.

No, it's more like we've already stepped into a pit.

Moreover, judging from the size of the smile, Li Chengqian was certain that the pit was quite large.

Upon hearing this analysis, Li Chengqian was startled and panicked.

"Serves you right for kneeling. If you don't tell me, I'll investigate myself."

Li Chengqian turned and ran without hesitation.

Li Chengze watched that retreating figure, but muttered to himself:

"You big idiot!"

How can he not be stupid? His own subordinates have problems and he's still completely unaware. Is he out of his mind?

Suddenly, Li Chengze noticed an expression that seemed to want to kill him again. He was startled and turned his head to look. He saw that Ye Ling'er's eyes were even redder.

The murderous aura began to spread in all directions.

"Uh, would you believe me if I said I wasn't insulting you?"

Ye Ling'er continued to prostrate herself on the ground.

It was as if she was giving Li Chengze an answer: I don't believe it.

Li Chengze smacked his lips, feeling a bit helpless, and continued to lie on the ground counting ants, because his knees hurt too much.

The floor outside the imperial study is no joke.

Those are all granite pieces transported from other places, and they have been meticulously carved by craftsmen.

It boasts a stylish and non-slip design, while also exuding an air of prestige.

Now it seems like this was completely making things difficult for me.

We must find a way to destroy it, lest it become a problem in the future.

Tomorrow I'll find a way to go to the Ministry of Works and have a good argument with them. At the very least, they should give me a new tablet.

Upon returning to the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian's first action was to have his servants find Guo Baokun and, incidentally, inform the Eastern Palace officials to come and see him.

To everyone's surprise, Guo Youzhi strode in as soon as the order was given.

Before Li Chengqian could speak, he shouted:

"This old man has met Your Highness the Crown Prince. May I ask if my son has done anything on your behalf that has offended the Ye family of the capital?"

"what!"

Li Chengqian lost his balance and fell off his crown prince chair.

"What did you say? Guo Baokun has offended the Ye family and gotten into trouble again?"

Li Chengqian wasn't as stubborn as Li Chengze.

Guo Youzhi was taken aback.

"Does His Highness the Crown Prince not know either?"

"I know nothing! This morning, Father Emperor fined the Crown Prince a year's salary and then suddenly called me over and scolded me, telling me to figure things out."

"I have no clue whatsoever, and Ye Ling'er and Li Chengze, kneeling outside the Imperial Study, are remaining silent. How would they know?"

"You're saying Ye Ling'er was also kneeling outside the Imperial Study!"

Guo Youzhi was frozen in shock.

If that's the case, then Ye Wan's abduction of Guo Baokun has probably caused a huge uproar.

Who is Ye Ling'er?

Princess Wei, Ye Zhong's legitimate daughter, this situation is no small matter.

Just as the two were discussing, an official from the Eastern Palace slowly walked in.

The eunuch replied softly:

"Your Highness, all the officials have arrived except for the compiler, Wenxiu."

Just then, a smug-looking He Zongwei walked up to the Crown Prince and shouted loudly:

"Your Highness, this humble subject congratulates you."

Li Chengqian looked at He Zongwei with a look of horror. "Congratulations?"

Why would this guy suddenly offer congratulations?

He Zongwei thought that Li Chengqian already knew some information and was waiting for him to make a good impression.

He Zongwei, head held high, said with a smug look on his face:

"Last night, your humble servant and Guo, your companion, were enjoying a swim in the Liujin River when we happened to encounter Prince Wei, Li Chengze, who had bought this Drunken Immortal Recipe. It seems he wanted to curry favor with a certain power."

Therefore, I discussed it with Guo, and we decided to secretly devise a plan to use the pretext of being a spy from Northern Qi to force Ye Wan, the commander of the capital's garrison division, to go and cause trouble.

If things escalate like this, Prince Wei will surely be punished by the Emperor, his plans will fall through, and of course, the relationship between Li Chengze and Ye Zhong as father-in-law and son-in-law will also be strained.

This is killing three birds with one stone!

He Zongwei, with an air of self-importance, awaited Li Chengqian's reward.

Who knew?

After hearing this, Li Chengqian leaped forward and kicked out.

Suddenly he became very brave.

The kick was quite forceful; He Zongwei flew a full three zhang (approximately 10 meters) before crashing into a table and coming to a stop.

"What a clever trick! What a disruptive move! What a triple kill!"

I don't know if Li Chengze is alright, but I'm in big trouble now. I'm afraid I've become the prey of you two dogs."

Guo Youzhi stood nearby, clearly surprised.

"No wonder Ye Wan arrested my son so early in the morning; so this is where the trouble started!"

I'll just accept it, what's wrong with that?

but.

The fact that Ye Wan is so anxious suggests that something must have happened after Ye Chong went to Zui Xian Fang last night.

Thinking about what Li Chengqian had just said...

Guo Youzhi immediately realized that something must have happened to Ye Zhong, otherwise he wouldn't have caused such a commotion.

Standing to the side, how could Li Chengqian not have guessed that it was simply Ye Zhongchong who had offended Li Chengxian?

Finally, the matter was clarified, but Li Chengqian became even more panicked.

That's some ruthless person; you wouldn't dare touch him without even looking at him.

"What did Lord Guo analyze and conclude?"

"If the King of Wei is alright, then the one who must be in trouble is Ye Zhong, although we don't know exactly what happened."

But given Ye Wan's brazen act of barging into the Guo residence to arrest someone, things are unlikely to end well.

Upon hearing this, He Zongwei, who had been getting up, was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

The Guo family is arresting people?

Doesn't that mean Guo Baokun has been arrested by the Ye family?

The thought of having to offer advice and suggestions made He Zongwei feel like he was about to lose his mind.

"How could this be? How could it have turned out like this?"

Upon hearing He Zongwei's mutterings, Guo Youzhi stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and coldly shouted:

"Tell me, who else was there last night besides Li Chengze?"
