Chapter 121: The Crown Prince rebels! Li Li Chengqian

“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has sent someone to deliver a book, claiming it is an ancient rare edition obtained through trade in Jiannan Dao, and presents it specifically to Your Majesty.” Just as Li Er was fuming with rage, a eunuch walked in respectfully, holding a book in his hands.

Li Er glanced coldly at the book, panting heavily, and had no intention of accepting it.

This was normal.

After all, he was currently in a foul mood!

“An ancient rare edition?”

“Bring it here for me to see.”

Seeing that Li Er didn’t speak, Fang Fang Xuanling stepped forward, wanting to accept the Crown Prince’s good intentions on Li Er’s behalf.

But as soon as he saw the title of the book, his face turned green instantly.

*The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me*!?

Pfft!

Damn it!

Was the Crown Prince’s brain kicked by a donkey?

He dared to bring this kind of book for the Emperor to see?

“Fang Xuanling, what’s wrong with you?”

Sensing Fang Fang Xuanling’s abnormality, a trace of curiosity rose in Li Er’s heart.

Could it be that the boy had actually made some progress?

Did he really find something good?

“Nothing... nothing at all, Your Majesty.”

Fang Fang Xuanling’s eyes were panicked, and he didn’t know what to do.

“Bring it here, let me see.”

Li Er’s unquestionable tone left Fang Fang Xuanling no time to consider.

In the blink of an eye.

The book was already in Li Er’s hands.

When he saw the title *The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me*, the veins on Li Er’s temples bulged instantly.

He completely exploded!

He furiously tore the book to shreds and roared: “Tell him to get out of my sight!!!”

The news that the Great Tang had declared war on Great Qin again spread Wu Li Ke wildfire.

The entire city of Changancheng was buzzing with the news.

However, this was not the main point people were interested in.

The point was that Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji had held a funeral on Zhuque Avenue, confronted Li Er in the street, and forced Li Er to dispatch troops to attack Qin.

This incident was Wu Li Ke a heavy bomb, exploding completely in Changancheng and even the entire Great Tang!

The head of all officials had completely broken with the Emperor!

Rumors gradually began to permeate the streets and alleys of the capital.

Hearts were filled with panic!

No one knew when it started.

The prosperous Changancheng gradually became desolate.

When people walked on the road, they would subconsciously look left and right.

Even conversations were whispered; no one dared to speak loudly anymore.

An eventful autumn!

The sky over Changancheng seemed to be covered by a layer of dark clouds.

The mountain rain was coming, and the wind was filling the building.

There were no signs.

But people had a tacit understanding to hide before the disaster arrived.

The Duke of Zhao’s Prefecture.

“Master, the Crown Prince has arrived.”

As a voice sounded, Li Li Chengqian appeared before Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji.

“Uncle, you wanted to see me?”

Li Li Chengqian asked in a low, dejected voice.

He was in a bad mood.

The book he had sent to Li Er earlier had earned him a severe scolding.

He had originally wanted to happily wait for Li Er’s praise, but who would have thought it would be met with rage and accusations?

It was estimated that whoever was in his shoes would definitely feel unhappy.

He had good intentions in sending a book, but it ended up Wu Li Ke this.

Who did I offend?

“Crown Prince, have you heard about me confronting the Emperor on Zhuque Avenue?”

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s expression was as ugly as ever.

He knew better than anyone that opposing the Emperor and offending the imperial dignity was no different from seeking skin from a tiger.

If he were not careful, the entire Empress Zhangsun family would face disaster.

But Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was determined to gamble!

He was certain that Li Er would never do anything to him.

After all, the man wanted to be an Emperor for the ages, a wise and virtuous monarch!

How could he joke with his own reputation?

If one were to ask who in this world understood Li Er’s mind best, it was this head of all officials, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji.

“I heard, Uncle. Isn’t this matter a bit too big?”

Li Li Chengqian nodded, his eyes glancing at Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji from time to time.

They were in the same boat, and Li Li Chengqian really didn’t want to take any risks.

“Hmph!”

“This is just the beginning!”

“Let me tell you, once the Emperor goes on this campaign, our actions must begin.”

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji smiled coldly.

“What... what actions?”

Li Li Chengqian’s entire face turned pale instantly.

He seemed to have anticipated something.

“Crown Prince, if the Emperor and the civil and military officials knew the secret of your birth, do you think you could still be the heir?”

“Every day late is another day of risk. Now that I have broken with the Emperor, we might as well rebel directly. I am willing to use the strength of the entire clan to help you ascend the throne and become Emperor!”

Crackle!

Suddenly!

A flash of lightning struck in the sky.

It was deafening!

“Ah!?”

Li Li Chengqian was so scared he sat down on the floor.

“Uncle, do we really have to take this step?”

“Wealth and honor are sought in danger. Crown Prince, do you think your ability and qualifications can compare to any of the other Imperial Princes?”

“Even in appearance and temperament, you are not even one ten-thousandth of them.”

“Those princes in the palace have dragon blood and phoenix blood, but you? You are just the son of a peasant woman from a remote area! If you want to ascend the throne, are you really going to wait for the Emperor to pass away?”

“The Crown Prince should think thrice.”

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji stood with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the stunned Li Li Chengqian.

“No!”

“I am not the son of a lowly peasant!”

“I am of noble blood, I am the Crown Prince of the Great Tang!”

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s words touched Li Li Chengqian’s deepest insecurity.

He roared wildly, as if he wanted to roar the innate baseness out of his body.

“Good! Crown Prince, with such ambition, I can rest easy.”

“From now on, follow my arrangements!”

“We will first sell the rare books traded from Jiannan Dao to the aristocratic families of Changancheng.”

“I have already calculated that the value of those rare books exceeds 1,000,000 taels of silver!”

“Once these books are all sold, we will use heavy bribes to win over the officials and control the city defenses of Changancheng, and the great matter will be settled!”

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard, having already thought through the entire plan.

“Everything is up to you, Uncle.”

Li Li Chengqian nodded in a daze.

Things had come to this, and this was the only way.

Then let’s rebel!

Jiannan Dao, a luxury inn.

“Mother, are you really going back to Changancheng?”

Princess Changle looked at Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou, who was packing her clothes, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Ever since Empress Zhangsun Chong died, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou had been disheartened.

She felt she was powerless.

No matter what she did or said, she couldn’t change Qin Mu’s cold heart.
