Although I knew that Zhao Chen would return to Chang'an sooner or later.
But Li Tai didn't expect it to be so fast.
He was almost ready to think about how to deal with Zhao Chen.
Or, how to counter Zhao Chen's next move.
"Where is Zhao Chen?" Li Tai and Du He asked.
"He used the Xuanjia Army to flatten the dark web base outside the eastern suburbs."
"I guess I'm coming to Chang'an City at this moment."
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is not in the city now, and Zhao Chen has a killing weapon like the Xuanjia Army in his hand."
"Your Highness, you must save me." Du He and Li Tai howled.
Li Tai was in a panic.
When I heard Du He shouting in my ear, I felt increasingly irritable.
"How can I save you? Zhao Chen has always been a lawless master. How can I suppress him?" Li Tai's mentality exploded.
If he could beat Zhao Chen, he could still make Zhao Chen so arrogant.
That guy never had any scruples in doing things.
In addition, the emperor and the empress are extremely partial, who dares to provoke him?
The court officials in the whole hall, who dares to take the initiative to become enemies with Zhao Chen?
So what happened to him, Li Tai, the prince?
In Zhao Chen's eyes, he was just a more powerful bug.
"Your Highness, Zhao Chen is not afraid of others, just the queen. Your Highness, please help me beg the queen."
"Please let the queen talk to Zhao Chen and let me go." Du He rushed to Li Tai and grabbed his sleeve.
Li Tai looked at Du He, and was even more annoyed at this moment.
If it weren't for Du He who was seeking death himself and killing Zhao Chen's men, there wouldn't be such a thing today.
The key is that if you want to kill someone, don’t leave any living mouths.
Why did anyone else spread the news to Queen Changsun’s ears?
But Du He is also his Li Tai person.
Moreover, Li Tai did not think that if he gave up Du He, Zhao Chen would let him go.
He found an excuse to confiscate all the industries under Zhao Chen's command.
"I can only give it a try."
"Also, since Zhao Chen has returned to Chang'an, he will definitely send someone to find you. You should leave and hide it. If this incident is over, I will send someone to spread the news to you." Li Tai and Du He said.
Du He nodded repeatedly.
He also knew that Chang'an could not stay anymore at this moment.
Otherwise, if Zhao Chen was caught, he would probably die at that time.
"Thank you, Your Highness. If you have the chance to survive, you will definitely kneel down and thank you." Du He bowed and Li Tai and limped away.
Li Tai looked at Du He's back and shook his head.
A chance to survive?
It's really too slim!
How could Zhao Chen let Du He go?
...
"Zhao Da, I sent someone to find him, but I didn't see any trace of Du He." Qin Huaiyu and Zhao Chen said at the gate of Chang'an City.
They searched in the mountains and forests in the eastern suburbs for a long time, but could not find any trace of Du He.
I don’t know where Du He went at this moment.
"Let everyone go back and rest."
"I'm still saying the same thing. If Du He doesn't show up, I'll copy him Du's mansion." Zhao Chen waved his hand and walked into Mingde Gate with a blank expression.
When the soldiers guarding the city at Mingde Gate saw Zhao Chen, they all looked surprised.
Zhao Chen did not go back to his mansion directly, but walked along the street.
Along the way, the doors of Wangyou Restaurant and Wangyou bun shop were all closed.
The seal of Jingzhao Mansion was posted on the gate.
Even the sign was smashed to the ground.
Zhao Chen just took a look and continued walking forward.
Going further forward, there is Wangyou Bookstore.
From a distance, the bustling Wangyou Bookstore outside the bustling Wangyou Bookstore now cannot even see it.
The signature of Wangyou Bookstore is hanging on the pavilion, and a few spiders are huddled with nets.
Pushing open the door of the bookstore, a decadent smell rushes towards you.
In just under a month, the taste was so heavy.
Books are scattered everywhere on the ground.
There are clear footprints on it.
"Owner?"
"Are you back?" A surprise voice came from the door.
Zhao Chen looked back and saw a young man who was somewhat similar to Huang Zhi standing at the door.
"Are you?" Zhao Chen was sure that he had never seen the boy in front of him before.
"Owner, I am Huang Hui, Huang Zhi is my father." The boy said to Zhao Chen, and took out a letter from his arms.
"My father said that if the boss came back from Jiangnan, he would definitely come to the bookstore."
"So I'm waiting outside every day." Huang Hui and Zhao Chen said, but tears were already falling.
He has been waiting here for almost a month, and every sunrise and sunset, he is the last person to leave on the street.
I just worry that I missed Zhao Chen.
Huang Hui did not say anything to Zhao Chen to avenge his father.
But looking at the boy who was younger than me in front of me, I kept wiping my tears in front of me.
Zhao Chen had no idea what it felt like in his heart for a moment.
"Have you eaten?" Zhao Chen and Huang Hui asked with a smile.
Huang Hui shook his head.
He waited here every day, and only ate two steamed buns.
Fortunately, I didn't move much, and I could hold on for a day.
"Let's go, let's find a place to have dinner first." Zhao Chen put away the letter, patted Huang Hui on the shoulder and walked out.
...
"Mother, my son-in-law heard that Zhao Chen is back." Li Tai and Empress Changsun asked in Lizheng Hall.
"Qingque's news is also well-informed."
"My mother just heard about it." Empress Changsun nodded.
Li Tai came here again today, and Empress Changsun also understood what he meant.
If it was a trivial matter, Zhao Chen would smile for her sake.
But this already involves human life.
She couldn't speak out even if she persuaded Zhao Chen herself.
"Mother, Du Xiang died young, with only two sons under his knees."
"Du He made a big mistake this time, but it was also an unintentional move. Now that Zhao Chen returns to Chang'an, he will definitely not let Du He go."
"My son wants to invite his mother and persuade Zhao Chen to let him let Du He go."
"Just need to spare Du He's life. My son is willing to go to his mansion with Du He and apologize for his crimes." Li Tai stood in front of Queen Changsun and said in a deep voice.
Li Tai knew very well that if he could not save Du He's life, it would be the biggest blow to his prince's majesty.
If you apologize for guilt, you can save Du He.
Instead, all officials can see that Li Tai can bring down his identity and apologize for a subordinate.
Queen Changsun looked at Li Tai, shook her head, and said, "Don't you know Zhao Chen's character?"
"If he could listen to others' advice, would you still come to the queen of your mother?"
"But the queen, we are members of the Tang Dynasty royal family. You are the queen and your son is the crown prince."
"We have the final say in this world. Why can Zhao Chen do such a rude way?"
"And you, the queen of mother, and your father, have you tolerated him frequently?"
"Mother, tell the truth to your son, isn't Zhao Chen the same as the rumor?"
"He should be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Tai looked at Empress Changsun.
Li Tai was also a little anxious at this moment.
I asked all the things I dare not ask in the past.
Empress Changsun was a little silent, and she didn't know how she should answer Li Tai.
Even Empress Changsun knew that she and the emperor were indeed particularly partial to Zhao Chen.
There have never been any rumors about Zhao Chen’s identity outside.
It is normal for Li Tai to have this suspicion.
