Li Chengqian went out and walked around the courtyard a few times. After admiring the luxury and uniqueness of the Prince's Mansion or the East Palace, he was led by Izumo to the side hall for dinner.

On a round table made of red-painted nanmu, more than a dozen dishes have been laid out. Although it looks a bit light because it is a breakfast meal, and the portions are not much, it tastes quite delicate and refreshing.

After breakfast, the maid brought tea to rinse your mouth, and the dishes and dishes were cleared by someone else.

Li Chengqian sighed in his heart, the old society was so evil.

However, I like it.

Quietly enjoying the slightly sweet and bitter tea in his mouth, he suddenly said: "Izumo, go get ready. I want to take a bath. In addition, prepare a basin of water and an incense table in the study for me to use."

Hearing this, Izumo, who was serving on the side, was a little confused: "Your Highness, the second son of the Prime Minister's Office handed over the greeting invitation yesterday, and it was set at Si hour. You have already accepted it, and the time is almost up now."

Li Chengqian was startled, and when he came to his senses, he remembered who the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion was.

Lin Gong.

This guy who didn't appear in many scenes and was easily killed by Wu Zhu two years later was a serious princeling.

But after a brief thought, he said calmly: "It doesn't matter. If he comes, I'll just entertain him. Go get ready."

Listening to the fact that His Highness the Crown Prince has already made a decision, Izumo will not say any more. He just responded and gave the corresponding instructions.

After Li Chengqian closed his eyes and took a nap for a while, he got up and went to the west courtyard with Izumo.

In the wing room of the west courtyard, under Izumo's service, Li Chengqian took off his clothes and stepped into the hot bathtub.

Above the water, bright red and pink petals and unknown spices floated up and down, exuding a refreshing aroma.

When the heat was rising, Izumo came behind him with a white towel. His cold cheeks were slightly blushing, and he whispered: "Your Highness, I will wipe your back."

Although Li Chengqian had never experienced anything like this in his previous life, he could maintain his mentality and just enjoy it.

He gave a faint hum, then said nothing, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of soft muscles lingering on his back, shoulders, and chest. After gently squeezing them and slowly twisting them, he seemed to have gone to the clouds.

…

After bathing and changing clothes, the redness on Izumo's cheeks slowly faded away. Whether it was an illusion or not, the vague unfamiliarity between the two seemed to have dissipated unknowingly.

Li Chengqian looked at the girl in front of him who was taking care of him carefully. His heart moved. He pressed the delicate hand on his chest with one hand and lifted the girl's fair and beautiful cheek with the other hand.

Izumo stared blankly at the young man standing so close in front of him, his heart beating non-stop. He didn't know what he thought of, his cheeks suddenly turned red, and his eyes were like autumn water, so charming.

Li Chengqian's eyes were gentle and his tone was indescribably warm.

"Izumo, I just discovered today that you are so beautiful?"

Hearing this, Izumo's cheeks became more and more rosy, and smoke almost came out of his forehead under the steam.

Your Highness, what's going on?

How could he say such frivolous words to me?

While her thoughts were swirling, she felt her lips were warm and soft, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Your Highness, did he kiss me?

Li Chengqian met his eyes and thought that the cold-faced Izumo looking like this was really cute.

His lips and teeth became even more carefree.

After parting their lips for a long time, Li Chengqian looked at Izumo, who had a hibiscus-like face and a soft body, and couldn't help but feel a slight sense of guilt in his heart.

However, for an ordinary person who suddenly reached a high position and had such a beautiful maid by his side, it was strange that he could endure it.

Restraint, restraint, restraint!

After reciting it silently in his mind three times, he coughed and said seriously: "I am going to the study to read for a while. You will stay outside later and don't let anyone disturb me."

After that, seeing Izumo's soft words, he turned around and left the wing, heading towards the study not far away in the Xiyuan.

As he left, in the side room, Izumo's somewhat rapid breathing slowly calmed down. With bright and angry eyes, she looked at the departure of His Highness the Crown Prince who had treated her unpretentiously in the past, and a thought suddenly came to her mind.

It turns out that His Royal Highness does not only like older people.

When she thought of this, she suddenly felt a little shy and her heart was beating fast.

But soon, she regained her composure and returned to her previous posture in the East Palace, with a cold face, as if she could not eat the fireworks of the world, and was inexplicably awe-inspiring.

After simply tidying up her somewhat messy clothes, she stepped out of the room and dutifully went to the door of the study, shooing away several waiters and not allowing anyone to approach.

In the study, after Li Chengqian burned incense and purified his hands, he randomly picked up a volume of classics and history and began to recite it devoutly.

Looking at this, I felt a little bit interested.

Because it records an old incident before Emperor Qing ascended the throne.

The general record is that the former crown prince and King Yong were dissolute and immoral, and behaved improperly, so much so that a divine scourge came to the world to kill them.

The royal family was shaken, and King Cheng felt sad for it. He personally carried the coffin, showing the respectful demeanor of brothers and sisters. The late emperor felt this and made King Cheng the prince to bring peace to the world.

Li Chengqian laughed out loud, is God punishing him?

Well, with Barrett's power, beating someone into a ball of rotten flesh from a distance of thousands of meters is indeed considered a punishment from heaven.

He couldn't help but think of the black box guarded by Wu Zhu in Danzhou, the bullets in the secret room in Taiping Villa, and the key that could open the box under his grandmother's pillow.

If you want to bring Barrett back to the world, these three things are indispensable.

He must not let this kind of killing weapon fall into the hands of others. If it is not in his possession, he would rather destroy it.

I just wanted to snatch the black box from Wu Zhu, but it was really difficult for him.

That was a ruthless man who could kill tens of thousands of Imperial Guards by one person, and then stand up to Emperor Qing who was at the Grand Master level.

It can be said that the whole body is covered with black technology that is countless years ahead of this era. Trying to snatch Ye Qingmei's relics from him is completely seeking death.

As for the secret room in the Taiping Villa where the bullets were stored, he didn't know the specific location at all. It would be difficult to find it without extensive construction work.

Considering the importance of the Taiping Villa in Emperor Qing's heart, it was completely out of the blue for him to want to build a large-scale construction project in the Taiping Villa.

It would be better to think of a way to know the specific location, and then sneak in secretly by bypassing the imperial troops guarding the Taiping Villa. This way, the chance of success may be higher.

In the end, it seemed that the key under his cheap royal grandmother's bed was the only one worth considering.

With his status, it's not difficult to get close to him.
