Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who was stuffing himself with food, Li Yuan couldn't help but show a speechless expression.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night, you brat?"

"Couldn't you come to see me at a more normal time?"

Hearing his grandfather's words, Li Chengqian didn't find anything wrong with it at all, and immediately shamelessly said:

"Hehehe! Your grandson has been missing you so much he can't sleep!"

"Don't give me that nonsense, kid. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, get lost. I'm busy!"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

"Grandpa, you haven't been emperor for many years, what's there to be busy with? Don't try to fool me!"

"What do you know, brat? Don't pry into adult matters. I just made Wu Zetian your concubine, and instead of staying home sleeping with her, you're here bothering this old man!"

Li Yuan's tone was full of impatience.

He had just summoned several concubines and was already undressed when this guy, of all times, came over.

If this brat weren't his own grandson, he would have loved to kill the poor kid.

When Li Chengqian heard the name Wu Zetian, and recalled her appearance during the day, he suddenly felt a surge of heat, mixed with the awkwardness of a naive young man.

"No...no! I won't go back, Grandfather. I'll sleep in your Da'an Palace tonight."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian with a strange expression.

"You little rascal, are you impotent? No wonder you haven't had a woman in the Crown Prince's palace all these years."

"This won't do! You are the Crown Prince of our Great Tang Dynasty. If you're truly incapacitated, that would be a serious matter. I must go and fetch two imperial physicians to examine you!"

The old man was extremely anxious about Li Chengqian's condition. He forgot all about the concubines and immediately got up to summon the imperial physician.

Just kidding, he's the only grandson in our Li family that we find acceptable. If he's not good in that area, what's the difference between that and having no descendants?

Seeing his father's flustered state, Li Chengqian's face turned green.

Hey! How can you talk like that, old man?

How can you say your grandson is no good?

He quickly stepped forward, looked at Li Yuan with a pained expression, and said:

"No! Grandfather! I'm really not sick, really!"

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Yuan did not believe a single word. Instead, he patiently tried to persuade him:

"Ah! Your Majesty understands! Men have some pride in this matter, which is understandable, but we can't avoid seeking medical help. Don't worry, after the imperial physician examines you, I guarantee he won't divulge a single word!"

He had seen Wu Zetian before, and such a beauty was unmatched even in his harem.

How could this guy not be tempted by such a beauty by his side?

Instead of sleeping with a beautiful woman in your arms in the middle of the night, you come here to disturb this old man's peace and quiet.

You still say you're normal?

Seeing that his imperial grandfather was about to call the imperial physician, Li Chengqian hurriedly ran away.

"No! Grandfather, I'll go back right now. I'm really fine, really, I'll go back to the East Palace right away!"

He was truly speechless; this whole thing had become a huge mess.

He had originally planned to stay at his grandfather's place for one night, but now it seems that won't be possible.

As Li Yuan watched Li Chengqian flee as if running away, his thoughts became even more certain.

"That kid's too stubborn. And that unfilial son is really something, not letting anyone see his own son in this state. I'll have to go and remind him another day!"

The thought of his great-grandson's inability to perform sexually caused a solemn expression to appear on Li Yuan's aged face.

……

Meanwhile, Li Chengqian, who had just run out of Da'an Palace, was lost in confusion.

"Ugh! What kind of mess is this?! Where else can we go?"

Just then, a sudden inspiration flashed in Li Chengqian's mind.

A glint of wisdom suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Liangyi Hall!

"Little snotty-nosed brat! Go! Change the sheets, I'm sleeping here tonight!"

The young eunuch on night duty looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled expression.

"Your Highness! Have you come to the wrong place? This is the Liangyi Hall!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes at him and said irritably:

"My eyes aren't blind. How could I not know that this is the Liangyi Palace? I'm going to sleep in the Liangyi Palace tonight!"

"Stop talking nonsense, kid! Just go when I tell you to. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

Seeing that Li Chengqian had said so, Little Snot had no choice but to agree. He was just a lowly eunuch, and he dared not disobey His Highness the Crown Prince!

Inside a side hall of the Liangyi Hall.

This was where Li Shimin would rest after handling state affairs.

If Li Shimin finished reviewing the memorials and didn't go to the concubines' quarters, he would sleep here.

But clearly, Li Shimin spent the night in the inner palace.

After the bedding was changed, Li Chengqian patted the blankets and showed a satisfied expression.

"Good! Alright! You may all leave. I need to rest!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing his lord's words, Little Snot quickly led everyone away.

After leaving the Liangyi Hall, Little Snot didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed to the inner palace.

This is the Liangyi Hall, the place where the emperor usually rests. For His Highness the Crown Prince to spend the night here is an act of usurpation. If this matter is not reported, he may lose his life!

Inside a palace in the inner palace.

"Hehehe! Consort Yang~ I'm here! Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

"Hehe! Your Majesty, you'd better do your best! I'm really looking forward to it!"

Li Shimin: "Hey! You little vixen, you dare to provoke me? Watch my might!"

Inside the bedchamber, a stunningly beautiful noblewoman gazed at Li Shimin with a blissful expression; her beauty was in no way inferior to that of Empress Zhangsun.

This person was Consort Yang, the birth mother of Prince Wu, Li Ke, and Prince Shu, Li Yin. She also had a special identity: a princess of the former Sui Dynasty and the daughter of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.

For this reason, her two sons were destined not to become emperors of the Tang Dynasty. After all, if princes with the blood of the former Sui Dynasty were to become emperors, what would their rebellion have meant?

Just as Li Shimin was about to pounce, there was a knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"

Ok?

Upon hearing the sound outside the door, Li Shimin immediately stopped moving, and an unnamed anger instantly rose within him.

"What is it? Can't you see I'm about to rest?"

"Your Majesty! This servant dares not! It was His Highness the Crown Prince; His Highness slept directly in the Liangyi Palace tonight!"

Li Shimin, who was about to get angry because his good time had been interrupted, suddenly stopped breathing.

Consort Yang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but be slightly taken aback when she heard that His Highness the Crown Prince had spent the night in Liangyi Palace!

The Liangyi Hall is the residence of the emperor; even the crown prince cannot overstep his bounds like this!

As expected, Li Shimin was furious when he realized what was happening.

"You unfilial son! I'm not even dead yet, and he dares to move into the Liangyi Palace?! Is he really that impatient?"
