Chapter 1624: Di Renjie: This Crown Prince Simply Cannot Be Supported

Junzhou, the location of the later-day Jiangkou City.

However, due to the changes of the times, the true ancient city of Junzhou has already been submerged beneath the water; those who come after will likely never be able to visit this place.

This place was originally not famous; it only became well-known because the former Emperor Li Xian was deposed and made the Prince of Luling, then relocated here.

Di Renjie cultivated for a while, until he was certain he could handle a crisis, then manipulated his true qi and left Chang'an.

He was not afraid of Wu Zetian looking for him either.

With his current strength, in this low-martial-arts world, he was like an immortal.

Touring the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening was the most ordinary thing; going out in the morning and returning at night, no one would suspect a thing.

Besides, with peerless martial power, even the Emperor meant nothing to him.

Having left Chang'an, in just a moment he arrived at Junzhou.

The former Crown Prince, the former Emperor Li Xian, had been banished to this place.

The "673" Prince of Luling's Wang Fu, though not built lavishly, still followed the regulations of a Wang Fu and was not shabby.

At least in Junzhou City, it counted as a first-class mansion.

A down-and-out Wang Sun was still a Wang Sun.

So long as the Great Tang still stood, the Wang Sun's treatment could not possibly be too poor.

After all, this was the face of the Great Tang.

Power might not be given, but Qian Cai would absolutely not be lacking—more than enough to let the Wang Sun enjoy himself.

Di Renjie spotted the Wang Fu from afar; his divine sense swept over and found where Li Xian was. He then descended from the clouds, landed behind a massive rock, tidied his attire, and strode over.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Xian was eating fruit under the attendance of his maidservants; upon hearing this, he was so startled he jumped straight up.

How could he have heard Di Gong's voice!

Shouldn't Di be in the capital?

Could it be that Mother finally couldn't hold back and wanted to cut the grass and dig out the roots—to have him killed?

Thinking of this, Li Xian felt a chill run through his entire body.

He turned his head with difficulty to look at Di Renjie, his face stiff: "Di Qing, what wind has blown you here. And ah, I am now the Prince of Luling, not some Crown Prince—don't call it wrong, lest Mother be angry."

Di Renjie cupped his hands: "The Prince of Luling speaks correctly. Your Highness, I have come to invite Your Highness back to the capital to be restored."

"Restored?" Li Xian was stunned, a look of wild joy appearing on his face, his body trembling. "Could it be that my Mother has already departed on the dragon carriage to heaven?"

Di Renjie shook his head: "Not yet!"

"Huh?" Li Xian's face instantly changed from wild joy to pallor. "Sinful, sinful—Di Qing, you must not speak such nonsense. My heart toward Mother is clear as the sun in the sky; how could I possibly seize Mother's throne!"

In his heart he cursed: this Di Renjie is unreliable.

Mother isn't even dead.

Mother's partisans are all still around.

What throne is he supposed to be restored to?

Isn't this just sending him to his death?

As Wu Zetian's son, he knew all too well how ruthless his Mother was.

Be it son or Sun Zi, whoever dared to seize the throne could all be chopped up without exception.
