Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 247
Gao Ming was bragging happily, when he suddenly heard Li Shimin's loud shout, his drunkenness was half awakened immediately.

"No... I didn't do anything, I just checked whether the table is strong or not, and it seems to be quite strong now."

As he spoke, he quickly jumped off the table, and then grinned at Li Shimin.

"Uh...how about you continue eating?"

"..."

Looking at Li Shimin's dark old face, Gao Ming suddenly remembered Li Shimin's habit of eavesdropping, so he narrowed his eyes immediately.

"Old man, were you eavesdropping just now? Huh?"

When Gao Ming said this, embarrassment flashed across Li Shimin's face.

"I……"

Just as Li Shimin was about to speak, he suddenly came back to his senses.

No, it was obviously this brat who arranged for me first, so why did he question me first?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately, but before he could speak, Gao Ming waved his hands helplessly at him.

"Forget it, just eavesdrop. It's not a big deal anyway. You're still so naughty at a very old age. Remember not to be like this next time!"

Having said that, Gao Ming suddenly slapped himself on the head.

"Oh, I almost forgot, my daughter-in-law is having a baby today, I have to go back and boil water for her, you guys eat slowly, I'm leaving first!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming threw off his feet and ran away, but when Li Shimin realized it, he was already gone.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin and the other princes were stunned.

"Humph!"

Li Shimin was the first to react. After he gave a cold snort, he turned around and entered the imperial study room, then closed the door with a "snap", and went back to the room sullenly.

Seeing that Li Shimin and Gao Ming had left, Li Zhi sighed suddenly.

"Hey, father and brother are gone, let's go too!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi also got up and left the seat.

After Li Zhi left, the other princes also got up and left the courtyard of the imperial study.

After everyone left, the door of the imperial study room suddenly opened again, and Li Shimin came out with a dark face.

Liu Bing also knew that Li Shimin was in a bad mood, so he quickly lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

At this time, Li Shimin spoke.

"Liu Bing, you go to the East Palace, call me that kid Gao Ming, and bring a few more people, don't let this kid get away!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Liu Bing's face suddenly flashed a trace of astonishment, but he quickly reacted and nodded quickly.

"Yes, the old slave knows!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bing hurried to the East Palace with a few people.

After leaving the imperial study room, a Qianniuwei who was following Liu Bing spoke.

"Eunuch Liu, are we really going to arrest His Highness the Crown Prince?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bing stopped in his tracks, then turned around and gave him a hard look.

"Who said we are going to arrest His Highness the Crown Prince? We are here to invite the Crown Prince, not to mention arresting him! What kind of favor His Majesty has shown His Royal Highness, if your words spread, a charge of alienating His Majesty's father and son will come down. Do you still want to live?"

After listening to Liu Bing's words, a thick layer of sweat broke out on the forehead of Qianniuwei, and he immediately bowed to Liu Bing and saluted.

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu, for reminding me, I know I was wrong, and I hope that Eunuch Liu will raise your hand..."

As he spoke, he took out a small string of copper coins from his arms and handed them to Liu Bing.

This string of copper coins looked to be about one hundred Wen, and Liu Bing was not too small, so he took it with a smile.

"I don't dare to be arrogant, so our family will accept the money. As His Royal Highness said, this is called a fine. If you are fined, it will also give you a long memory."

"Yes, yes, Eunuch Liu is right."

A group of people arrived at the East Palace while talking. After arriving at the entrance of the East Palace, Liu Bing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped at the entrance, and then raised his chin towards Qianniuwei behind him.

"You go in first, let the people inside tell you, and check to see if the tiger raised by His Royal Highness is there!"

"This……"

Seeing Qianniuwei's frightened expression, Liu Bing quickly comforted him with a smile.

"Don't worry, it's just a little tiger, it won't eat people."

Hearing Liu Bing's words, a trace of luck flashed in Qianqiwei's eyes.

"Little tiger? How big is the little tiger? A fight?"

"No, one stone!"

"..."

Damn, is a stone called a little tiger?That thing is called a big bug!

The frightened Qianniuwei quickly took two steps back. Seeing this scene, Liu Bing immediately put on a straight face.

"Are you going? If you don't, our family will tell His Royal Highness the treacherous words you just said! Also, I will pay you back the money!"

As he said that, Liu Bing took out the small string of copper coins from his arms, and made a gesture of throwing them back to him.

Seeing this scene, Qian Niuwei immediately waved his hands at Liu Bing.

"Don't, don't, don't... Eunuch Liu, I'll go! Can't I go?"

Seeing that he agreed, Liu Bing took back the small string of copper coins this time, and then glared at him.

"Aren't you going soon?"

"Yes!"

After being glared at by Liu Bing, this Qianniuwei immediately shrank his head, then gritted his teeth and walked into the East Palace, his face was a little more tragic and heroic.

After he entered, Liu Bing and the others immediately leaned against the corner of the wall, and listened to the movement inside with their ears up.

The expected screams did not appear, and soon the Qianniuwei came out, and after he came out, he bowed to Liu Bing.

"Report to Eunuch Liu, there is no tiger inside, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not inside."

Hearing his words, Liu Bing's eyes widened immediately.

"What? His Royal Highness is not inside?"

"Yes!"

That Qianniuwei nodded immediately.

"I heard from the people in the East Palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Wu have just left the palace together. Eunuch Liu, do we want to chase after him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bing slapped him on the head.

"Follow me! Even if we catch up, what can we do? Is it possible to catch His Royal Highness back? There is no wink at all!"

Looking at Qianniuwei who was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head, Liu Bing took a deep breath, and then looked at the other Qianniuwei beside him.

"After going back, no matter who asked, they said that when we came, His Royal Highness had already left for a cup of tea, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Bing nodded in satisfaction, then led everyone back to the Forbidden Garden, and told Li Shimin the news of Gao Ming's departure.

After listening to Liu Bing's words, Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Hmph, now I must be going to Qizhou with Li Ke."

Having said that, Li Shimin waved his hand towards Liu Bing.

"Okay, it's none of your business, go down!"

"Yes!"

Liu Bing agreed, and left the imperial study room. After Liu Bing closed the door, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"If you run fast, kid, I'll settle the score with you when I come back!"

While Li Shimin was talking to himself, Gao Ming who had just left the palace sneezed twice.

"Ah...Ahh..."

Seeing this scene, Li Ke who was sitting beside Gao Ming frowned.

"Brother, are you feeling unwell? Why don't we leave tomorrow!"

Seeing the concern on Li Ke's face, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head.

"No, if I don't leave today, the old man will definitely trouble me, and I have already asked Lu Zhi to wait outside the city, so I must leave today."

Having said that, Gao Ming stretched out his hand to touch Benben's furry head again.

"Benben, are you happy to take you out to play this time?"

"Ouch..."

Maybe it's because of the Siberian tiger gene, or maybe it's because the food in the East Palace is so good, Benben's body shape changes every day. Although he is only seven months old, he already weighs more than [-] catties.

Today's Benben has basically broken away from the category of "cute and cute", and has begun to change to "kill you".

It is also for this reason that after Liu Bing saw it once, he was unwilling to appear in front of it again.

But now, Li Bingke had the same thought in his heart, especially when he saw Gao Ming reaching out to touch Ben Ben's big head, the corners of his eyes twitched several times.

"Brother, it won't bite me, will it?"

Seeing Li Ke's frightened eyes, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head immediately.

"It's still small, it's fine."

Hearing what Gao Ming said, Li Ke showed a forced smile.

"Since the eldest brother said so, then I can rest assured!"

He said rest assured, but Li Ke was still beating drums in his heart. He always glanced at Benben from time to time along the way, for fear that it would suddenly jump up and give him a bite.

Gao Ming also noticed Li Ke's small movements, he shook his head helplessly, and then closed his eyes.

The carriage soon arrived outside the city. When the carriage stopped, Gao Ming immediately opened his eyes, and then smiled at Li Ke.

"Third brother, go down and see if Lu Zhi and the others have arrived."

Li Ke wanted to get out of the car a long time ago, and he nodded quickly after hearing Gao Ming's words.

"Yes, I understand!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ke also took a look at Benben lying under Gao Ming's feet, and found that it was dozing off with its eyes closed, so Li Ke stood up cautiously, and then got out of the carriage lightly.

It wasn't until he got out of the carriage that Li Ke let out a long breath.

"My brother's preferences are really weird. It's not easy to raise anything. It's really scary to raise a tiger."

He shook his head while wiping the sweat from his brow.

"It's all the fault of Li Yin, it's a pity that I didn't meet him. If I did meet him..."

As soon as Li Ke thought of this, he heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.

"Brother, hehe... I heard that you are going to Qizhou, so I came to see you off immediately. Are you happy to see me? Hehehehe..."

After seeing the person clearly, the corners of Li Ke's eyes twitched instantly.

"Li Min?"
