Chapter 417 Nonsense
Mammy's one-sided statement alone doesn't prove anything.

Li Yanzhao maneuvered with various forces in the palace, but never gained anything.

"Grandpa, what do you think about this?"

The Imperial Master stroked his beard and nodded his shoulder.

Li Yanzhao stood up and walked behind the imperial teacher and began to massage his shoulders.

"Ever since the crown prince was restored to the throne, he has been suppressing your and my followers like crazy."

"Your mother's death is of course related to him."

Suddenly, the imperial teacher noticed that Li Yanzhao was exerting force with his fingers.

He patted Li Yanzhao's hand and said, "Be patient!"

"You don't need to bother investigating this matter. Even if they find out something, how can they admit it?"

"Zhao'er, Grandpa knows your character, but they are going too far!"

Li Yanzhao turned around quickly and knelt down in front of the imperial teacher, "Grandpa, it's my fault!"

"If I had realized it earlier, my mother wouldn't have died!"

The imperial teacher burst into tears and helped Li Yanzhao up.

"It's not too late, it's not too late. As long as the prince hasn't ascended the throne, it's not too late for us!"

Li Guoli was a student taught by the Emperor's teacher and knew his temper very well.

"Zhao'er, you have to remember that fighting is not fighting, and not fighting is fighting."

"The emperor's stomach cannot accommodate so many people, Grandpa said so, do you understand?"

Li Yanzhao wiped the tears for the imperial tutor, "Grandpa, are you saying that our father doesn't want to give up power?"

The Imperial Preceptor said nothing, wiping the tears from his face, "Zhao'er, as long as you do practical things for the people, you will be favored by the Emperor!"

This time when Li Yanzhao returned to the capital, he had no plans to return to the Nantong military camp.

He had to stay in the capital to mourn for the imperial concubine.

Prince's Mansion

"Third brother, sit down!"

Li Yansheng asked Li Yanzhao to sit down.

After Li Yanzhao sat down, he looked at the visitor.

The prince hosted a banquet for his followers, and for some reason he also invited Li Yanzhao.

Originally, he had already refused. How could the imperial concubine, who was in mourning period, attend the banquet?

The prince called him over without further ado.

Li Yanzhao has made all preparations for this banquet.

"This damn prince is really a traitor. How can we invite our prince to the banquet when we know that he is in mourning?"

Huang Long huddled in the corner of the Prince's Mansion, looking resentful.

Wang Xiaobo snorted coldly, "He will not stop until he forces our prince to rebel!"

"Xiaobo, be careful with your words!" Huang Long slapped Wang Xiaobo.

"We can't say this word!"

The two of them shut their mouths and continued to huddle in the corner waiting for news.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is considerate of me. I am grateful to you. I offer you a toast!"

Everyone was toasting each other, but Li Yanzhao was the only one who looked unhappy.

After Li Yansheng finished drinking and sat down, he motioned for his subjects to sit down too.

He glanced at Li Yanzhao and immediately laughed out loud.

"Don't worry, Third Brother. If you keep on being immersed in sadness, how sad will the Imperial Concubine be in the underworld?"

"The dead are gone, but the living have to continue living, right?"

"Third brother, come here, let me, as your elder brother, offer you a toast!"

Li Yanzhao was unmoved, "Your Highness, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order!"

"Be bold!"

"Your Highness the Prince of Qi is rejecting our Crown Prince?"

Li Yanzhao glanced at the person who spoke, the commander of the Ministry of War, Yang Changwei.

This person has always looked down on people with backgrounds, and Li Yanzhao's repeated military successes made him even more contemptuous.

"You are so bold? How dare a mere military commander speak to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi like this?"

Li Chang immediately drew his sword, "During the period of mourning for our prince, you used the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to put pressure on our prince, and wanted to frame our prince for being unfilial. What is your intention?"

"You" Yang Changwei pointed at Li Chang angrily. But Li Chang did not give him the chance and continued.

"You are the one who forced our prince to drink, and those who don't know the truth would think that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who forced our prince to drink!"

"Wouldn't it be said that the Crown Prince and the Prince are at odds and that they want to force him?"

Li Chang argued with reason, leaving Yang Changwei speechless.

"Hahahahaha!"

The prince laughed out loud, "Third brother, you are a very eloquent guard."

He waved his hand, "Never mind."

"I originally wanted to help you relieve your boredom, but it seems there is no chance now!"

Li Chang was still confronting Yang Changwei, and the two of them were eager to start fighting at the banquet right now.

"Li Chang!"

Li Yanzhao shouted loudly, and Li Chang reluctantly put the knife back.

When had Yang Changwei ever suffered such injustice?
He returned to his seat angrily.

Just as Li Yanzhao was about to get up and say goodbye, the Crown Princess led Li Lingyun over.

The Crown Princess was gentle and quiet, and she stayed out of things, so Li Yanzhao respected her very much.

"Sister-in-law!" Li Yanzhao saluted hurriedly.

The Crown Princess stopped him, "We are a family, no need to be polite!"

"Uncle Three!"

Li Lingyun jumped up, and Li Yanzhao quickly hugged him.

"Ouch, boy, it's heavier again!"

Li Lingyun hugged him with a smile, "Uncle has been back to the capital for such a long time, why did you just come to the mansion?"

He has liked this brave and mighty third uncle since he was a child, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew has always been very good.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Crown Princess's expression changed.

"Look at you, you're already so old, and you still need your uncle to hold you? Come down now!"

Li Lingyun reluctantly got off Li Yanzhao and stood behind the Crown Princess.

"Uncle San is back in Beijing this time. Please come and visit more often. Our Lingyun has been thinking about him for a long time!"

The Crown Princess was chatting with Li Yanzhao about family matters, and Li Yansheng's expression became increasingly ugly.

"What do women know?"

Li Lingyun trembled with fear and hid behind the Crown Princess.

Li Yansheng stood up and said, "My third brother is in mourning, so he must mourn for the imperial concubine. How can he walk around freely?"

The Crown Princess looked unhappy, "I know I was wrong!"

Suddenly, the Crown Princess spat out a mouthful of blood, which frightened everyone.

Li Lingyun screamed, "Mother!"

Li Yansheng quickly picked up the Crown Princess and shouted for the imperial physician.

But it was too late, the Crown Princess passed away.

From then on, word spread that Li Yanzhao was an unlucky person.

Li Lingyun cried and nestled in Liu Zhonghuan's arms.

"Teacher, why would you blame my Third Uncle?"

"If my father hadn't asked my mother to go to the banquet, she wouldn't have had any contact with my third uncle!"

"Is it your father who asked your mother to attend the banquet?"

Liu Zhonghuan quickly grasped the key point, "What did your mother do before this?"

Li Lingyun was still sobbing, "I didn't do anything."

"It's nothing more than watching me practice calligraphy and read books. There's nothing wrong with that!"

The problem is that there is nothing wrong with this.

Li Yansheng would not ask the Crown Princess to go to the banquet for no reason.

However, Liu Zhonghuan could not say too much when facing Li Lingyun.

Children should not be allowed to interfere in the grudges between adults.

"Bullshit!"

Li Chang was so angry that he almost jumped up, "You said our prince is not well-known?"

"He killed my mother and my sister-in-law. This is simply nonsense."
