 In the rain curtain, the sky did not see the morning light.

 In the front yard of Prince Jin's Mansion, a large area was still hidden in darkness.

Li Shao was very familiar with the roads and took long strides towards Li Du's dormitory.

The steward quickly followed him, not daring to call him out.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a very bad mood.

 If you talk nonsense now, you will definitely be ruined.

 But he had to follow, and he had to send someone to inform the prince quickly.

Li Shao didn't know what the steward around him was thinking. He just kept walking forward. It was raining all the way. He was wet all over his body. As he walked, long water stains were dragged down the corridor.

Going straight to the outside of the dormitory, I saw an oil lamp lighting up inside.

 Li Du had already stood up after hearing the news.

He put on a robe and came out of the inner hall, with a sleepy look on his brows.

Hearing the hurried footsteps outside and knowing that Li Shao had arrived, Li Du said: "Your Highness is too casual. This is the palace, and I am not afraid of scaring your aunt."

Li Shao heard it through the door panel and replied casually: "It's not scary."

 It’s not like he doesn’t know.

Auntie, younger aunt, etc. never sleep in this dormitory.

Li Du smiled, and when he saw Li Shao who was dripping wet, his smile suddenly froze on his lips: "Why is it like this? Where are the people serving you?"

 Li Shao did not answer.

He put aside his doubts first and asked someone to prepare **** tea and hot water. Then Li Du looked at Li Shao again: "I was so frightened by you that I forgot, what time is it now? If you don't just rest in the East Palace, why did you come to my place? Isn’t the palace gate open yet? How did you get out of the palace? Or are you going to court in a while? "

A series of questions were thrown out at once.

 Li Shao was speechless.

 He was not asked a lot of questions, but he did not escape being questioned.

Thinking of the reason why he came to Prince Jin's Mansion, Li Shao didn't hide it. He told the truth: "I didn't go back to the palace. I went to eat and got very drunk. I was investigated by Shuntian Mansion. I just came out of there."

"Shuntian Mansion still cares about drinking? Where did you go to drink wine?" After Li Du asked, there was a look of surprise on his face, and his tone was a little anxious, "Drink flower wine? Drinking flower wine will not be targeted by Shuntian Mansion. Could it be some sort of prostitute?"

"In Chenmi Hutong," Li Shao wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start. He licked his lips and said, "I've been there before and it was always fine. I don't know what went crazy in Shuntian Mansion. Suddenly Come in and check."

As he said that, he glanced at Li Du.

Just looking at Li Du's expression, Li Shao knew that his uncle didn't believe him at all.

As expected, Li Du took a deep breath and seemed to calm down: "No matter how much I investigate, Master Shan will never investigate you like this.

Your Highness, it’s getting late and I have to go to court later. Do you want to enter the palace like this?

 How about you take a shower and change clothes first, then tell me when you’re done? "

Having said this, Li Shao glanced at the clothes stuck to his body with a look of disgust on his face: "Then I'll trouble my uncle."

 The steward took Li Shao to freshen up first.

Li Du walked to the window and looked at the pounding rain outside with an expressionless expression on his hands behind his back.

After waiting for a while, the chamberlain came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to change into your court uniform."

Li Du nodded.

 After he had changed into court clothes, Li Shao finished dressing up.

　　Taking the hot **** tea from the waiter, he drank it down in one gulp. The strong **** flavor poured into his throat and reached his heart and lungs, making his whole body feel warmer.

The excitement that had been weakened by the heavy rain was once again aroused.

With this sense of excitement, Li Shao told everything.

 “It’s all fresh, I won’t touch the dirty ones.”

"There has never been any trouble in the place Liu Xun led." "I ate too much tonight, and by the time I woke up, I was already at Shuntian Mansion."

“I don’t know what happened to Mr. Shan. I heard that not only them, but also the garrison yamen.”

“They went to arrest Dao Heng, the monk related to Wang Liu6. My uncle must have heard of it, right?”

“Catch a monk and take him to my place. I still don’t understand.”

Li Shao finished speaking in one breath, poured another bowl of **** tea and drank it, letting the spicy feeling linger in his body for a long time.

Li Du did not interrupt him, but his brows became tighter and tighter.

 Finally, he said in a deep voice: "Is this how you usually act?"

 Li Shao glanced at him.

Li Du asked again: "Does your father know these things about you?"

 “I don’t know.” Li Shao said.

"Today, when Shuntian Mansion reports to the authorities, not to mention your father, everyone in the civil and military dynasties knows how ridiculous His Highness the Crown Prince is." Li Du shook his head, "Have you ever thought about how angry your father would be? "

Li Shao was speechless, and after a while he said: "Uncle looks more angry than my father."

“I’m angry, I’m very angry,” Li Du said bluntly, “You didn’t go back to the palace to spend the night, but you always stayed in my house.

 I thought you were in the palace, and your father thought you were here with me. What happened?

As a result, you went out to eat wine, play with women, and finally got involved in the fourth child's bad thing.

 Tell me, does your father want to settle a score with me? "

Li Shao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard what he said, and asked curiously: "Is your uncle afraid of my father?"

Li Du did not answer this question directly: "His Highness did not stay at Shuntian Mansion, but came here directly. He didn't just want to take a bath and change clothes, right? Do you want me to give you some advice on what to say in front of your father?"

 Li Shao raised his eyebrows.

This is indeed what he came for.

He also knew that it was inevitable that his father would be furious once this happened.

 And he could not use any "filial piety" or other reasons to appease his father.

Hence, he wanted to recruit his uncle as a reinforcement.

Unexpectedly, the rescuer seemed unwilling to save him.

"You are afraid of your father, and so am I," Li Du said earnestly, "You are terribly wrong about this matter. You have to listen to my opinion. That is to rush to the palace gate now and meet him before the morning court. Go to your father and talk to him about the matter. Don't let him know the whole story from Shuntian Mansion in the court, he will definitely be even more angry."

 This suggestion is equivalent to none.

Li Shao sounded quite disappointed.

Seeing that Li Du, who was usually kind to him, made it clear that he would not interfere, Li Shao stood up directly and said in a loud voice: "In that case, I will go and wait for the palace door to open. Uncle, just pretend that I have never been here."

Seemingly irritated by Li Shao's attitude, Li Du's face darkened a bit, with a hint of anger: "The whole world belongs to your father. I'm afraid how normal he is. If Your Highness doesn't listen to me, Yes, who is not afraid of who you are going to find? How many people in this world are not afraid of your father and still think that you are doing the right thing?"

Li Shao put Li Du's words behind him.

The chamberlain hurriedly caught up with him and arranged a sedan for him so that he would not get wet again along the way.

When getting on the sedan chair, the chamberlain advised again: "You have tried to find the Empress Dowager, Prince Xunping, and the eldest princess Xianwang, but they all have failed. Oh, Your Highness..."

 Li Shao threw down the curtain.

If it doesn’t work, who will?

 Otherwise, go to Yongji Palace?

 I can’t write anymore today, so I can only write a single update.

 At the end of September, monthly tickets will be doubled. Can you keep some of the tickets you have?
