Chapter 195 The Trip to the Prince's Mansion

"I didn't let..."

Li Chengqian turned his head suddenly, Wang Xiang stood quietly at the door, and Li Zhi pulled his clothes with a worried expression on his face.

"How did you come?"

Although his expression was cold, Wang Xiang still saw a trace of surprise hidden in his eyes, he spread his hands indifferently and said: "I am the long history of the Prince's Mansion, has the Prince's Highness forgotten?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked up at Wang Xiang's half-smile expression, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, Zixin is the long history of my Prince's Mansion."

Stepping forward, he punched Wang Xiang hard on the shoulder and asked, "Why didn't you come to see me until now?"

Wang Xiang bared his teeth and said, "Isn't there a lot of things at home?"

"Brother Prince." Li Zhi called weakly.

"Young slaves are here too." Li Chengqian touched Li Zhi's head with a smile on his face. For him, perhaps only Li Zhi could make him feel a little bit of brotherhood in this cold palace.

Seeing that Li Chengqian seemed to be back to normal, Li Zhi said in a low voice, "I came here yesterday, and I even gave the crown prince a woolen sweater..."

"Yeah, why don't I remember?"

Li Zhi lowered his head and said nothing, thinking: You were throwing things in a rage at that time, of course you don't remember...

A gust of cold wind blew past, Li Zhi shrank his neck, and Li Chengqian said, "Come in and sit down."

The floor of the hall was full of broken porcelain pieces, which were obviously the masterpieces of Li Chengqian just now. With a dry cough, he shouted loudly, "Come here!"

The two servant girls trotted over all the way with their heads lowered, trembling, not daring to look at Li Chengqian.

"Clean up the floor and make a pot of hot tea."

At this time, Li Chengqian seemed to have become the gentle and refined Tang prince who occasionally exuded arrogance. The servant girl looked up at Wang Xiang and Li Zhi hurriedly tidying up the house in surprise.

……

The door of the hall was closed tightly, and the cold wind howling outside could still be heard. There was a stove burning in the room, and the three of them drank tea quietly.

Seeing that Wang Xiang and Li Chengqian were silent, Li Zhi felt a little anxious, and secretly reached out and pulled Wang Xiang's sleeve, but Li Chengqian saw his small movements.

"What happened to the childish slave?"

"Ah, I...I..." Li Zhi didn't know how to answer.

Wang Xiang put down his teacup and smiled and said, "Actually, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is not happy to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently, so he asked me to come and have a look."

Li Chengqian smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Does Zixin know?"

Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is unhappy because of being reprimanded by His Majesty?"

"My king's life was saved by Zixin, so I don't want to hide it from Zixin. I'm afraid my leg disease will never heal. Both King Wu and King Wei are coveting my prince's position, and they even sent people in the palace Talking about my king's leg ailment, now that my father thinks this king is becoming more and more distasteful, reprimanding is nothing."

Wang Xiang shook his head and said, "It is indeed His Royal Highness who made a mistake this time."

Hearing Wang Xiang say so bluntly that he was wrong, Li Chengqian immediately became excited, and said loudly, "Does Lian Zixin also think it's my fault?"

Li Zhi quickly tugged on Wang Xiang's sleeve.

Wang Xiang ignored the anxious Li Zhi, but looked directly into Li Chengqian's scarlet eyes, and asked, "Why did Your Majesty reprimand His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Father..." Li Chengqian's momentum suddenly dropped, and he whispered, "It's disrespectful to talk about the prince behind his back, I just let someone punish them."

"So you beat someone to death?"

"This king didn't want to beat them to death, but..."

Wang Xiang interrupted with a sigh: "It's just that they can no longer hear His Highness the Crown Prince's explanation, and there is no room for redemption after some things have been done."

"It's just a few eunuchs, and besides, they are ordered by King Wu and King Wei."

Seeing Li Chengqian's indifferent expression, Wang Xiang shook his head and asked, "Regardless of whether they were ordered by King Wu and King Wei, are the lives of a few eunuchs really so insignificant in His Highness's heart?"

Li Chengqian's eyes flickered, his face was somber and he didn't speak. Wang Xiang continued: "You are the prince of Datang, and your words and deeds are related to the future of Datang. Today you are dismissive of the lives of several eunuchs. It is possible to disdain the people of the world, can your Majesty not be angry and disappointed? The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least. Your Majesty reprimands you to prevent you from getting worse, and it also shows that Your Majesty has high expectations for you. "

Li Chengqian held his head in pain and shouted: "No matter what I do, my father will not be satisfied!"

Wang Xiang shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness, do you think His Majesty is partial?"

Perhaps it was because of the grievance in his heart that he held back for too long, and Li Chengqian couldn't care less about what he could say and what he couldn't say, and there was no one else here except Wang Xiang and Li Zhi, both of whom he trusted the most.

"Isn't it? Even if this king is at fault for this matter, but in the past, this king has been cautious since he became the prince, and he dared not make the slightest mistake in his words and deeds, but the father always favored King Wu and King Wei more. , but always reprimanded me severely, I am the prince, why would the king of Wu and the king of Wei get the praise of the father, but I can't do anything to satisfy the father! Now my leg injury can no longer heal Now, father must not want Datang to have a prince with leg problems, it must be like this!"

Li Chengqian's eyes were red and his expression was excited, which made Li Zhi very worried.

When Li Chengqian had vented enough, Wang Xiang said lightly: "Love is deep, responsibility is deep. It is because you are the prince that His Majesty will strictly demand you everywhere, and demand you as a king. Don't you think His Majesty treats you so Is disregarding what you want?"

"What happened to your leg injury? Now that it has become a fact, you have to bravely accept it instead of complaining about yourself. Self-pity will not heal your leg injury, but will only make you depressed! How many times have you walked out of the Prince's Mansion since you came back from Xishui Village? Times? Even you yourself feel that the future is bleak, what do you want others to think of you?"

"You said Wu Wang and Wei Wang coveted your crown prince, why should you care if you gave up on yourself?"

"I..." Li Chengqian raised his head and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"You care to show that you don't want to give up. In this case, you should stand up and go out to let others know that Li Chengqian is the prince of Tang Dynasty. He was the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He was and still is! As long as you are not defeated by yourself, no one can shake your position !"

Li Chengqian was overwhelmed by Wang Xiang's words, and his fighting spirit was rekindled in his eyes.

"Will you... help me?"

……

Coming out of the Prince's Mansion, Wang Xiang let out a deep breath. From the moment he nodded, his fate was tightly bound up with the Prince's Mansion and Li Chengqian. Seeing Li Zhi and Wang Xiang regaining his smile, his mood suddenly changed. become more complicated.
