Chapter 150: Not good, the Crown Prince refuses to leave again!

Walking out of the East Courtyard, Dongfang Qi gave a look, and his subordinates stood out to report:

"Your Highness, Deputy General Lin just went to the toilet because of internal urgency, and it has been more than half an hour and he hasn't returned, I don't know if he took the wrong road."

Dongfang Qi frowned: "The Duke's mansion has many female relatives, what if it disturbs the Madam and young ladies? Someone, follow this palace to find someone!"

Saying this, he changed direction and headed straight for the West Courtyard.

The Li family members following him were all confused by his actions.

How could the Crown Prince's deputy general get lost?

Afraid of disturbing the Madam and young ladies? You are rushing in with a bunch of people, aren't you disturbing them?

"Crown Prince, wait!" Li Xiu followed quickly, shouting, "I will order the servants to look for him, why bother you to run around in person! Your Highness, Your Highness!"

But Dongfang Qi's footsteps were getting faster and faster.

The direction pointed by the Twin Talisman is right there, what exactly happened to Lin Qingyue?

Dongfang Qi was anxious in his heart, but on the surface, he was still calm and composed, saying lightly: "The people of this palace are all rough people, who have been on the battlefield with this palace before, going through life and death. If they can't be found..."

His tone paused: "This palace will ask the Li Duke for an explanation!"

Li Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and gave a look to the nephew behind him, who immediately ran to report to the Li Duke.

The Li Duke had just gotten out of bed, and his weak appearance was swept away.

At this time, the third son Li Rui ran over hurriedly: "Father, it's not good, the Crown Prince refuses to leave again!"

The Li Duke was shocked when he heard this, and was about to lie back on the bed to continue pretending to be sick.

Li Rui said: "The Crown Prince is not here to visit the sick. For some reason, he didn't walk two steps before saying that his deputy general was lost in our Duke's mansion. In order to find that deputy general, the Crown Prince is rushing in and searching the entire mansion!"

"What?" The Li Duke was furious, "Dongfang Qi is so rude! Just saying he is missing, he dares to search our Duke's mansion, simply not taking the Li family in his eyes!"

Saying this, he suddenly frowned, "No, the Crown Prince is not that kind of reckless person. From suddenly visiting to visit the sick, forcing us to come out to deal with it, to now searching the mansion with great fanfare, there must be another purpose! Could it be related to... that fox demon?"

The Li Duke hurriedly asked his son: "Rui'er, has that fox demon been dealt with cleanly?"

Li Rui said: "After the fox demon was stripped of her pill by Second Uncle, she didn't have much use, she should have been dealt with long ago."

"What do you mean by should?" The Li Duke glared at his son with dissatisfaction, "Your Second Uncle is lustful, and that fox demon is quite beautiful. If he didn't destroy the demon's corpse, and the Crown Prince discovered it..."

Li Rui said: "So what if the Crown Prince discovers it? Anyway, demons are things that can't be brought to the table, we can completely shirk that she ran into the mansion by herself and was locked up as an assassin. What's more, the fox demon has already been stripped of her demon pill, even if she doesn't die, she won't live long. Can the Crown Prince make things difficult for our Duke's mansion for a demon?"

The Li Duke said: "You also know that demons are things that are not in the stream? The aristocratic families of the Qi Kingdom are even less likely to be with demons. If people know that our Li family is a clean and noble family, but is doing things like stripping pills and killing demons, it will inevitably be criticized and despised by other families. Like the things in Yushi Town, no matter how excessive it is in private, no one will feel it is excessive. But if it is put on the table, it is not appropriate."

Li Rui hurriedly lowered his head: "Father taught me correctly, but it was my son who was not thoughtful."

The Li Duke ordered: "I am not suitable to go out now, you go to your Second Uncle to confirm whether the fox demon is still in the mansion. Confirm that we have no flaws exposed, then let the censor impeach the Crown Prince for breaking into a private house, disturbing the female relatives and causing their death!"

"What does Father mean by this?" Li Rui didn't react.

"Didn't you get your wife's maid pregnant last month, causing discord between husband and wife? Father allowed you to take her as a concubine, unfortunately, she had a short life and miscarried due to the disturbance of the Crown Prince's people, one corpse and two lives."

"Father, but..."

"But what? Just a maid, it's just right to use her. As for the unborn child in her belly... even if it is born, it is just an illegitimate child, not on the table. If it can add some bad luck to Dongfang Qi and avenge the dead Duo'er, it is worth dying."

"Yes, Father!" Although Li Rui was a little reluctant, he knew that his father was always arbitrary, and no one could change the decision he made.

"In addition, go and notify Duke Zhao, call more people to see the Crown Prince causing trouble, so the Emperor will not be able to protect him."

"Yes, my son will send someone there!"

The Li Duke's lips curled into a cold smile: "Dongfang Qi, you dare to touch my son, my Li family will never let you sit on the throne!"

On the other side, Dongfang Qi had arrived at the Li family's West Courtyard, where there were many large and small courtyards.

The pavilions and gardens were arranged exquisitely.

Along the way, it was inevitable to see female relatives in the inner house.

The female relatives suddenly encountered an outsider entering, and they were all at a loss.

If it were normal times, Dongfang Qi would absolutely not do such an offensive thing, but once it involved Lin Qingyue's safety, he couldn't care about anything else.

Following the guidance of the Twin Talisman, Dongfang Qi entered Tingxue Xuan, and finally arrived in front of the study room inside.

Li Xiu stepped forward to stop him: "Your Highness, if you want to find someone, we can cooperate to help you find them. But you are entering the hall in such a grand manner, which is not in accordance with reason. What big mistake did my Li family make? Need you to put on such a posture of raiding the house?"

Dongfang Qi said coldly: "Move aside!"

Li Xiu blocked the study door and said: "Even if you want to raid the house, please show powerful evidence, and the Emperor's Imperial Edict! Otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dongfang Qi pushed him away and kicked open the study door.

The other Li family descendants were very angry when they saw this—even if the other party was the Crown Prince, such rudeness was hitting the face of the entire aristocratic family!

Just as Li Xiu was about to say something, Li Rui squeezed out of the crowd and asked in a low voice: "Is the fox demon handled cleanly before?"

Seeing the other party's eyes dodging, Li Rui asked: "Second Uncle, you didn't really move your lust as Father said?"

Li Xiu said: "What lust? How could I be moved by a base demon? It's just that I felt it was a pity to throw away that fur. I wanted to wait for her to stop breathing, and then refine her into a puppet to play with."

"Furthermore, I like to watch it die bit by bit in pain, that's why I didn't deal with it in time. I didn't expect the Crown Prince to visit suddenly, could it be because of that fox demon?"

He suddenly reacted: "The Crown Prince wouldn't have fallen in love with that fox demon, right? Her human form is indeed beautiful, very seductive."

Li Rui said: "Since that's the case, we still have to find a way to avoid exposure. Otherwise, if the Crown Prince finds the fox demon and discovers that Second Uncle you used evil arts to dig the pill, it will affect the Li family's reputation if it spreads out." ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
