Chapter 1440: Free from official duties, I go to Danzhou for retreat!
"Second brother, what do you mean by eldest brother?" The prince looked at Li Chengru's back.

At this time, the eunuchs and palace maids were standing far away, so the second prince didn't bother to be hypocritical.

"Come on, stop pretending. You've been placing a lot of people in Big Brother's house. Aren't you just afraid that we will compete with you?
"Why do you say that, second brother?"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to waste my time talking to you!"

Seeing the second prince also leave, the crown prince curled his lips and turned back to the East Palace, but he grinned the moment he arrived at his own territory.

"Hurry, hurry, change my clothes!"

Sitting on the couch and waiting to take off his outer clothes, the prince looked at the bruises on her fair shoulders, and resentment appeared on his originally kind and sunny face.

"Li Chengru, Li Chengze, we will slowly settle this account later!"

"Your Highness, would you like me to call the imperial physician?" the eunuch at the side suggested cautiously.

"Bang~" Li Chengqian raised his foot and kicked the man down.

With a grim look on his face, he said, "Do you want the emperor to know about this? I think you are a spy sent by the second elder!"

"Come here, drag him out and kill him with a stick!"

Soon, two eunuchs, as ferocious as wolves and tigers, came in and tried to drag the man away.

The young eunuch begged for mercy with tears and snot, but it couldn't change Li Chengqian's decision. Although he always seemed to be in a good mood on the outside, the rules in the Eastern Palace were actually very strict.

Li Chengru did not leave the palace directly, but went to Shufangzhai to visit his mother.

"Congratulations, Lord Duke!" The palace maids and eunuchs from Shufangzhai came over to congratulate him.

Duke of the county?

It's just a slap in the face and a sweet date!

There was no need to explain to these people, so he simply took out some loose change from his pocket and threw it over, then asked one of them, "Where is my mother?"

"The queen is practicing martial arts in the backyard~"

The young eunuchs and palace maids were overjoyed after receiving the reward money.

That’s right, now Shufangzhai has a backyard, and it is no longer the small yard as before. As the saying goes, a mother is honored by her son, and the life of mother Ning Cairen has become much better. Although she has moved to a bigger palace, the name is still the same as before.

Ning Cairen, who was wearing a strapless robe, was dancing with a sword. It must be said that she was nearly forty years old now, but time did not seem to have left any marks on her body. She was much better off than other resentful women in the palace.

She usually treated the old emperor as if he were air, and was just fine with not being favored. She spent her days eating, drinking, playing, and practicing with swords and guns. When she had nothing to do, she would fiddle with flowers and plants. She was simply so leisurely all day long.

Seeing her son coming over, she did not stop, but asked with a smile: "Ru'er is here, what do you think of my sword skills?"

"Mom, it's really great, but this sword is not very good. It doesn't seem to match your temperament. I'll have someone send you a better one later!"

"No need, I'm just playing with it for fun!" Ning Cairen's age was slightly revealed by the fine lines at the corners of his eyes only when he smiled.

I chatted with my mother for a while and had lunch here. It was a good opportunity to avoid the limelight. I guess the news has already spread everywhere outside.

It was already afternoon when he came out again. He came to the largest private room in Tianshang Renjian and summoned all his trusted confidants from the Wucheng Bingmasi.

After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers. If they just pat their butts and say they don't want to do the job, they can't just ignore it. That would seem a bit ungrateful.

"Your Highness, are you really resigning?" The South City Commander asked impatiently.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the assistant official Kuai Qing beside him slapped him with his big hand, with great force and without mercy.

He pointed at his cousin and cursed: "Who do you think you are, Yang Wu? If His Highness has anything to do, does he have to discuss it with you?"

"Cousin, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" He is his own cousin, otherwise Kuai Qing would not bother to care about this matter.

He knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, it is my fault for not disciplining you properly!"

Li Chengru looked at them both meaningfully, but didn't say much.

"Okay, since everyone is here, we are all family. My resignation is now a done deal, but I can't just leave. I have to consider the future of my brothers!"

"There are two options now. One is to continue to stay in the Wucheng Bingma Division. I will greet the commander-in-chief, Lord Liu. I believe that with the combined reputation of the two of us, the new deputy governor will not embarrass everyone too much~"

"The other option is to be sent out. I will also make arrangements with the Privy Council. You brothers don't have to worry about your future. At least with your current rank, it shouldn't be a problem to upgrade one level!"

"For example, you, Kuai Qing, are now a fifth-rank assistant official. If you are sent out to be a pacification envoy, you will have a future."

Upon hearing this, Kuai Qing immediately expressed his loyalty: "Sir, I will follow you for the rest of my life. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

"Yes, sir, I, Yang Wu, obey you!"

"Sir, I, Lao Wang..."

Everyone followed suit and expressed their loyalty. Although a new emperor has new ministers, the man before them was different from ordinary people.

Although he is no longer the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military Department, he is still the newly-appointed Duke of Ningyang County, the eldest prince of His Majesty, and the famous "Da Qiansui" in Kyoto!
Anyone who dares to stir up trouble at this time must be thinking that his official hat is too comfortable!
……

More than a month has passed, and a lot of things have happened in Kyoto recently, all of which are related to Fan Xian, the eldest son of the Fan family.

The "Poet Immortal" has become famous

The eldest prince, who had caused a stir in the city because of his resignation, had long since forgotten about Li Chengru, and no one even knew that he was not in Kyoto.

"Huh~" Li Chengru was in Danzhou at this time. The secret base was filled with true energy. In other words, the nuclear radiation was exploding.

I have been practicing in seclusion for a month, but I am still one step away from breaking through to the ninth level. This feeling is so unpleasant, just like two men and women are having fun together, but the other one suddenly has to leave for something!

In order to consolidate their positions beside their master, the four general managers of the Ningyang County Mansion personally brought people to serve him.

At this time, this nameless barren mountain had changed greatly. It was surrounded by hundreds of guards, and a villa was also built next to the stone pile.

Although he had come to deliver meals many times, the eunuch Xiao Si still twitched his mouth when he saw the building in front of him that looked like a tomb.

But he soon returned to normal, knocked on the stone tablet and said loudly: "Young master, I'll bring you lunch!"

"Crack!" A hole suddenly appeared in the stone bag, and Li Chengru's voice came out from inside.

"Have someone prepare a medicinal bath!"

"Follow me~"

A few minutes later in the secret room, Li Chengru took off all his clothes and sat in the bathtub, feeling the energy brought by the precious medicinal materials.

At the same time, he used the skills given by Ye Qingmei to quickly absorb the true energy in the secret room. This was his daily routine almost every day for the past month.

Fortunately, there is a place like Tian Shang Ren Jian where I can spend money and save some money, otherwise I would not be able to bear such a wasteful life.

In the absence of a grandmaster, the ninth rank already represents the highest combat power. It is not easy to break through, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Even this cannot guarantee absolute success!

Break through!
With a hint of expectation, Li Chengru slowly closed his eyes. The internal skills in his body had been running to the extreme. The rich true energy in the secret room was absorbed into his body and began to impact various meridians.

This barrier is not so easy to break through. Soon, the originally strong medicine in the bathtub has gradually become light...

To be continued!
