The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 718 Ashina Yun
When he left the temple gate, Li Ke looked at the graceful and elegant Haitang in front of him. He sighed that she was indeed the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, with a figure as delicate as a willow in the wind and a beauty as beautiful as a flower reflecting in the water. He thought that this little white rabbit would be ravaged by him later.

I couldn't help but reach out to help her, and said frivolously, "Miss Haitang, go slower, be careful of the threshold."

Haitang was frightened. She didn't expect Li Ke to be so bold as to pull her in public. She struggled subconsciously.

But Li Ke felt the weak resistance and exerted force on his arm. Haitang immediately thought of Cheng Yunliang in the other's hand. Her stiff body softened helplessly, and a tear slid down her cheek under the hat.

Suddenly, Li Ke shook himself off as if he had been electrocuted, hid to the side, and stood still.

Haitang was stunned, and subconsciously looked forward. She shuddered, her heart pounded, and her whole body trembled. She saw a group of people standing across the temple gate, and the one in front was the Crown Prince, who should not be here.

Seeing Li Yan standing at the door, his face was as cold as ice and very ugly, looking at him coldly.

Haitang suppressed her panic, swallowed her saliva, and hurried forward with her maid Ling'er, saying, "Your Highness, I was burning incense and praying for my father today, and I just happened to meet His Highness the King of Shu praying for Concubine Yang, and we chatted for a while."

"I was just about to go back. Why are you here?"

"Since Miss Haitang has finished burning incense, then go back early!"

Li Yan seemed not to hear the fear and terror in Haitang's trembling voice. He looked coldly at Li Ke behind him without even glancing at Haitang. He calmly ordered: "Xuan Ce, send someone to escort Miss Haitang back to the mansion."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Xuance waved his hand, and several people from the East Palace guards immediately walked to Haitang.

Haitang's mind was in a mess at this moment. On the one hand, she was worried that Cheng Yunliang's affairs would implicate her father, and on the other hand, she was worried that Li Yan would have wild thoughts. Although the King of Shu did not say what he was going to the villa for just now in the temple, Haitang was not a three-year-old child and she had some vague guesses.

But Li Ke had the leverage over Hou Junji and controlled the fate of the Hou Mansion, so she could do nothing and could only take one step at a time.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the prince, Haitang's brain was in a complete mess. She was afraid that the prince would find out something, and she was also afraid that Li Ke would be doomed to fail.

Just as she was about to struggle again, Ling'er pulled Haitang's arm and winked: "Miss, leave this to His Highness, let's go back first."

Haitang turned around and looked at Li Ke pleadingly, then got on the carriage.

After Haitang left, Li Yan brought Wang Xuance and slowly walked to Li Ke, looking coldly at this brother who was no younger than him by half a year.

"Uh, big brother!"

Li Ke was also very flustered. After all, Haitang was already engaged to the prince, and in name she was his sister-in-law, but he was planning to secretly hinder her. He ran into the real person at the door again, and a look of confusion flashed across his eyes.

Facing Li Yan's death stare, Li Ke could no longer suppress his inner uneasiness and smiled awkwardly, "I was praying for my father, mother, and mother consort, and I happened to meet Miss Haitang. We immediately became family, so we chatted a little more. I wonder why you are here, brother?"

With a "slap", Li Yan raised his hand without hesitation and slapped Li Ke hard on the face, making Li Ke grimace.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, his ears were buzzing and half of his face felt numb.

what happened?

what happened?

Li Ke stood there in a daze for a while, and when he regained his senses, he realized that he had been beaten.

He was a prince, and had never been beaten since he was a child, let alone such a humiliating slap in the face.

Especially since he was beaten by his elder brother, the Crown Prince, whom he had always looked down upon and regarded as cowardly and incompetent, in public, in front of so many of his subordinates.

This kind of experience, which is common to ordinary people, took Li Ke a long time to understand.

"How dare you hit me! How dare you hit me!"

All of a sudden, Li Ke felt infinite humiliation and fury in his heart. He was beaten so hard that he saw stars, and then he saw Li Yan looking at him with contempt.

Li Ke's self-esteem seemed to be trampled upon. He could no longer bear it. He drew the sword from his waist and raised it to defend his dignity.

"Your Highness, no, that's the prince." An Heihu and the guards behind him were terrified when they saw this. They rushed up like a swarm of bees. Others held back the furious Li Ke, and An Heihu quickly snatched the sword from Li Ke's hand.

The prince's move was too quick just now, and they were all dumbfounded. Of course, their reaction was much faster than Li Ke's, but what did it matter? Although they had a duty, they had never encountered such a situation. The prince hit his own prince, but he didn't mean to kill him. At least in their understanding, a slap would not kill someone.

What can they do when gods fight?
How are they qualified to participate?

But when their own prince could not bear the humiliation and wanted to draw his sword for revenge, they could not just ignore it and let the situation get worse. They didn't know what would happen to Li Ke if the prince was injured, but they would be dead anyway!
An Heihu is Li Ke's closest bodyguard and has always been inseparable from him. Whether it was the meeting with Cheng Yunliang last night, or the Prince of Shu bringing people to block the future Crown Princess in Huichang Temple today, An Heihu witnessed it all and naturally understood that his own prince had no good intentions.

At this moment, he was caught red-handed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, regardless of whether the Crown Prince knew the details or not.

From a personal perspective, the prince is the elder brother, and if the elder brother slaps the younger brother, the younger brother has to bear it no matter how wronged he is; from a public perspective, the prince is the heir to the throne and the King of Shu is a subject, so they cannot resist, let alone draw their swords against each other, as this is disobedience!

Moreover, our prince was so angry that he didn't care about the severity of the attack. If he really stabbed the prince, he would be doomed. Didn't you see that the guards under the prince didn't move?

And deep down, An Heihu also felt that his prince did not deserve the slap he received!
"Your Highness, calm down. Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood something!"

As An Heihu explained, he pulled Li Ke aside and whispered, "The Crown Prince is unreasonable. If Your Highness is angry, you can go to the palace to complain to the Emperor and the Empress, but you must not point a sword at the Crown Prince in public. If the news gets out, Your Highness will be unreasonable no matter how reasonable you are."

Li Yan looked at Li Ke, who gradually calmed down after being pulled by the guards. He glanced at him coldly without saying anything.

Li Yan didn't want to bring the matter to light, as it would be bad for anyone and he would lose face.

After intimidating Li Ke, rescuing Haitang, and adding fuel to the next plan, he turned and left.

Seeing the prince leave, An Heihu slowly let go of Li Ke. After breaking free from the crowd's pull, Li Ke said angrily: "Damn it, this piece of trash actually dared to hit me?"

"An Heihu, let's go back. Humph, I will send Cheng Yunliang to my father right away. I wanted to give him another chance. But now it seems that he doesn't care about brotherly love at all. In this case, I have nothing to worry about."

"It's a fight to the bitter end. I wonder how Hou Junji will explain himself now. He embezzled one million strings of cash and can't even save his life. He still wants to marry into the royal family. He's dreaming."

In a busy street market in the East City, a handsome young man in a Shu brocade robe was moving lightly between the stalls, like a lark flying through the woods, and seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Whether it was the fabrics from the south or the handicrafts from the north, the woman was very curious.

He looked at this, touched that, and chatted with the stall owner from time to time.

The boy was tall and slightly thin, with delicate features, soft contours, a straight nose, fair skin, and beautiful big eyes with a hint of charming light blue in his pupils, as enchanting as the night sky.

Except for herself, anyone could tell at a glance that this person dressed as a man must be a very beautiful woman, and also a woman of Hu descent.

This person is none other than the Turkic princess Ashina Yun, who has been having a hot relationship with Li Ke recently.

Walking to the center of the street, Ashina Yun saw several street performers tossing fire rings around and around, making them spin around. Her innocent little face was full of excitement, and she followed the crowd in shouting and clapping loudly.

Finally, he threw down a few coins and turned to other places.

After a while, he bought another string of candied haws and ate it while looking around. As for the Central Plains style that was so different from the grassland, Ashina Yun was very interested in everything. From time to time, some people with pointed chins and monkey faces wanted to come up and take advantage of him.

He was also stopped by two plainclothes guards from the Shu Palace behind him, so Ashina Yun was not worried and searched around for interesting things.

At this moment, a man in plain clothes suddenly blocked Ashina Yun's way, extended his hand and bowed, smiling and politely asked, "Excuse me, young lady, are you Princess Ashina Yun?"

Ashina Yun was stunned, and suddenly his face was filled with a strong sense of vigilance. He asked cautiously: "Who are you, and how do you know my identity?"

At this moment, the two guards following Ashina Yun in the crowd saw this and were about to step forward to resolve the troubles, when suddenly a fortune teller flashed in front of them, holding a large flag to block them.

"Mmmmm. Mmm."

Several big men came up from behind, covered their mouths, and clamped their arms on both sides. They dragged the two into the crowd while they struggled hard.

Ashina Yun, who was facing away, did not notice anything unusual, and Wang Xuance, who was facing this side, ignored it. He smiled at Ashina Yun and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I am Wang Xuance, the proofreader of the Eastern Palace. This is my badge."
