If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 51: Just returned to Chang'an, and you dare to steal my woman
In the Ten Kings' House, Li Zhi was holding a book, but his mind was not on the tree at all.

"Rui'an, Li An just came back, and the emperor gave him the Hua'e Xianghui Tower to live in. This is..."

At this point, Li Zhi's mouth twitched, his face full of grievance:

"Too biased!"

Ryan looked at Li Zhi in surprise and quickly raised a finger:
"Your Highness, please don't let the Emperor hear this!"

"Don't forget, the emperor has not been very happy with you recently. If this gets to his ears, I'm afraid Your Highness will be reprimanded!"

After hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

I was so unhappy that I couldn't even say a word of complaint.

Li An, you are really my nemesis!

Why do you get so much favor from father as soon as you come back?
Is it...

Will the Emperor really make you the crown prince?
If the emperor really appoints him as the crown prince, will he still have a good life?
By then, I am afraid that I will be exiled to a wild place like Crown Prince Cheng Qian...

However, he did not have the ability like Li An to manage the wild land of Lingnan in an orderly manner.

No!

I can't let this happen!
He was just thinking blankly when he suddenly saw a woman in Buddhist robes walking towards him quickly. She was the personal maid who stayed with Wu Zhao in Ganye Temple.

Li Zhi was slightly startled.

Why did she come at this time? Is there something wrong with Mei Niang?
Thinking of this, he quickly waved for the maid to come in.

"Your Highness..."

The maid walked up to Li Zhi and knelt down, tears suddenly dripping from her eyes as she sobbed:

"Wu Cairen..."

Li Zhi's heart skipped a beat:
"What's wrong with her? She's sick!"

The maid shook her head:

"No! Someone is bullying her!"

"Who dares!"

Li Zhi's forehead veins suddenly jumped up from the ground.

"Everyone in Ganye Temple knows that she is my, Li Zhi's, woman. Who dares to bully her?"

"It's not someone from Ganye Temple, it's..."

The maid pretended not to dare to speak, as if she was hesitant to speak.

"Tell me! Who is it?"

"It's your Highness's brother, the Sixth Prince!"

"what!"

"It's really His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"

The maid had already revealed Li An's identity. Seeing that Li Zhi was indeed shocked and angry, she quickly followed Wu Zetian's instructions and began to exaggerate:
"The Sixth Prince went to Ganye Temple and broke into Wu Cairen's Zen Temple. Not only did he speak frivolously, he also wrote an obscene poem to tease the Empress! He also said..."

At this time, Li Zhi's face turned pale with anger. Seeing the maid gasping for breath again, he immediately yelled:
"Tell me what else he said!"

"He also said that Wu Cairen might not be able to get out of Ganye Temple. If you have other ideas, you can go to Hua'e Xianghui Tower to find him!"

"Roar……"

As expected, Li Zhi was so angry that he went into a violent state. He turned around on the spot with gritted teeth, then raised his hand and threw the vase and ink next to him to the ground.

Ping Pong Pong...

Suddenly, the lobby was in a mess.

Ryan hurried over to persuade:

"Your Highness, calm down!"

Li Zhi beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying:
"Asshole, you dare to steal my woman right after returning to Chang'an!"

"I can never coexist with this beast!"

After a while, his anger subsided a little, and he turned to look at the maid:
"How is Mei Niang now?"

The maid wept and said:
"Ms. Wu was so angry that she fell ill and is now resting in the Zen temple. She told me that she is afraid she will never meet His Highness again in this lifetime..."

“Ah…she’s sick!”

When Li Zhi heard this, he could no longer sit still.

"Who said I can't meet her? I'm going to see her now!"

"No, Your Highness!"

Rui An quickly dissuaded him: "Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to send Wu Cairen to Ganye Temple because he doesn't want her to stay with you!"

"If you go to see her now and the Emperor finds out..."

Li Zhi became even more angry:
"Shut up!"

"If I can't even protect my own woman, then I am not worthy of being a man!"

After saying this, regardless of Ryan's dissuasion, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the bedroom with his maid.

After getting on the carriage, he went straight to Ganye Temple.

After a while, Li Zhi arrived at Ganye Temple. After getting off the car, he ran impatiently to the Zen temple where Wu Zetian was.

As soon as he entered the Zen temple, he shouted:

"Mei Niang, I'm here..."

Wu Zhao was sitting on the bed resting. When she heard Li Zhi's voice, she quickly took some water from the tea bowl and sprinkled it on her face, then leaned against the head of the bed, acting as if she was sick and sad.

As soon as Li Zhi entered the meditation room, he saw Wu Zhao lying on the bed, her face yellow, her cheeks full of tear marks, and she looked heartbroken. He was immediately distressed and angry:
"Mei Niang, you have suffered!"

Having said that, he went up and hugged Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao cried sadly:

"Your Highness, I thought...I thought I would never see Your Highness again in this life!"

"how come!"

Li Zhi hugged Wu Zhao tightly, stroked her back with one hand and said:

"I'm here right now!"

"These past few days, my uncle asked me to study hard to please my father, so I didn't come to see you!"

Wu Zhao raised her tearful eyes:

"Your Highness has already seen me, so go back now, or your father will not be angry about you coming to see me again!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Wu Zhao:

"Then you are here..."

Wu Zhao shook her head:

"I'm fine. The worst that can happen is that the Sixth Prince will come and harass me again. I will just ignore him!"

Hearing her words, Li Zhi became angry again.

At this time, the maid who reported the news said at the right moment:
"Your Highness, do you know that after the Sixth Prince came today, the talented person was so angry that he vomited blood!"

"Shut up! Who told you to tell His Highness?"

Wu Zhao deliberately frowned and scolded the maid.

After saying that, he deliberately stuffed a handkerchief beside the quilt into the quilt.

Li Zhi took a look and quickly took out his handkerchief.

But there was indeed a bloodstain in the handkerchief.

Seeing this handkerchief, Li Zhi felt as if his heart was being torn apart by a knife, and tears were about to fall from his eyes:

"Mei Niang, you've even vomited blood, yet you're still hiding it from me!"

"How could such a gentle, virtuous, and well-behaved woman like you have to endure such evil!"

"You won't let her tell me. Are you going to keep it a secret from me?"

"You've vomited blood, what if something happens to you?"

Wu Zhao shook her head:

"It's okay, I'll get used to it after vomiting all the time!"

"Do not……"

Li Zhi immediately covered her cherry lips and tilted his head back to a 45-degree angle in pain to prevent his heart-breaking tears from falling:

"I can't let Li An continue to do what he wants!"

"I can't watch you suffer here..."

"I will report this to my father right now. Even if I can't get you to come back to me right away, I will make sure he punishes this bastard!"

"You actually covet your brother's woman. How shameless..."

"Li An, you and I will never coexist in this life or the next!"
