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

Seeing Wu Zetian leave, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was lying on the ground, and continued:

"As for you... you'll be confined to your quarters for a month to reflect on your actions! And don't you dare try to set foot in my imperial garden again!"

After Wu Zetian had half of the crane prepared, Li Shimin had someone take the crane and, humming a little tune, headed towards the palace.

It's clear that Li Shimin was in a very good mood at this moment!

Inside the East Palace courtyard.

Only after Li Shimin left did Li Chengqian slowly get up and, with Wu Zetian's help, limp to the stone table and sit down.

"Your Highness! Are you alright?"

Seeing Li Chengqian's current state, Wu Zetian couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Upon hearing her words, Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head.

"I'm fine. Old Li didn't use his full strength; it just hurts, but it's not serious enough to break any bones!"

Hearing this, Wu Zetian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed.

He focused his mind on the system space.

[Inverse Son Achievement Points: 3060]

After these few waves, the "Rebellious Son" achievement points exploded.

A big win, even though I got a beating, it was a bittersweet experience!

"System! Ten consecutive draws! I want to see what kind of gold cards I get!"

【Ding! 】

[Ten consecutive pulls begin...]

As Li Chengqian finished speaking, a huge spinning wheel appeared in his mind.

The pointer on the turntable flashed wildly, and dazzling lights jumped out one by one.

Green, blue, purple!

Finally, a dazzling golden light appeared.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Withdrawal! Finally, withdrawal!

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to Suzhou for receiving the Green Quality Award, strengthening your legs!]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, you have received a green-quality reward, strengthening your torso!]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, you have received a green-quality reward, enhancing your deadly item!]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, you have received a purple-quality reward: one random purple-quality talent summoning card!]

……

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a gold-quality reward: Overlord's Legacy!]

hiss~

Seeing the rewards pop up one by one, Li Chengqian couldn't help but gasp.

What the hell!

Not only did I get a guaranteed gold card, but I also got a purple card.

I made a profit, but I'm also exhausted from all the trading!

As the system's voice fell, a violent force instantly filled Li Chengqian's limbs and bones.

He subconsciously clenched his fist, feeling the surge of power. Li Chengqian felt like he could beat a hundred of his own fathers right now!

At the same time, a massive flow of information appeared in his mind.

That was the Overlord Spear Technique and the combat experience of Xiang Yu, the Overlord.

With this information flowing in, Li Chengqian's aura instantly became fierce.

He looked like a demon god emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Wu Zetian, standing to the side, was so frightened by Li Chengqian's sudden aura that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

Her delicate face turned deathly pale with fright, and cold sweat soaked her clothes, outlining a faint, tantalizing curve.

"Your Highness... what's wrong?"

Wu Zetian's voice trembled slightly as she spoke. Although her prince had been fierce to her before, she had never seen Li Chengqian like this before.

He looked like a ruthless god of death who had killed countless people; a single glance from him sent chills down her spine.

Upon hearing Wu Zetian's words, Li Chengqian finally came to his senses.

Seeing her lying on the ground, pale-faced, Li Chengqian quickly withdrew his imposing aura.

As Li Chengqian withdrew his aura, Wu Zetian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright! I'm perfectly fine! Come on! Walk with me for a bit!"

Li Chengqian was in a good mood at the moment, and even gave Wu Zetian a rare smile.

Seeing her prince's bright and innocent smile, Wu Zetian was momentarily captivated.

His Highness's face is truly unfair; it seems even more handsome than before. Is it just my imagination?

Because of the system reward, Li Chengqian's handsome face became even more three-dimensional, with distinct features.

His powerful physique makes every move he makes exude strength.

It's fair to say that Li Chengqian is now seen as a walking embodiment of masculinity by women.

"What are you spacing out for?"

Li Chengqian was momentarily stunned to see the other person staring at him with such a dazed expression.

Seeing that the other person was almost drooling, Li Chengqian quickly reminded him.

Upon hearing his lord's words, Wu Zetian finally realized what was happening and quickly wiped her mouth, her expression filled with panic.

"No...it's nothing, Your Highness, let's go!"

Li Chengqian didn't think much of it upon hearing this; he simply nodded and turned to walk ahead.

Watching Li Chengqian's retreating figure, Wu Zetian's eyes flashed with an almost imperceptible hint of intense longing.

……

at the same time.

The news that Li Shimin had come to the Eastern Palace in a fit of rage and ordered Crown Prince Li Chengqian to stay at home for a month to reflect on his mistakes quickly spread.

For a time, the entire court was in an uproar.

In their view, such a punishment was already extremely severe.

At the same time, I'm also very curious about what His Highness the Crown Prince did to provoke His Majesty's anger.

The Prince of Wei's residence.

"Hahahaha! Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, you've finally met your match! Of all things to do, you had to mess with the cranes in the Imperial Garden! Those are Father's precious darlings! I never expected him to do something so outrageous!"

Li Tai was overjoyed upon hearing the news that Li Chengqian had been ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.

When he learned that Li Chengqian had done this because he had eaten the cranes in the Imperial Garden, he couldn't help but feel schadenfreude.

Seeing his lord's reaction, the aide beside him couldn't help but smile and say:

"Your Highness! It seems that His Majesty is truly angry this time, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered the Crown Prince to reflect on his actions behind closed doors for a month."

But this is also our opportunity!

Hearing this, Li Tai nodded in agreement.

"Now that Li Chengqian is imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, we have a lot of room to maneuver during this period."

What did the people from the aristocratic families say?

Upon hearing this, the man did not hide anything and immediately replied:

"The Wang family of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang have expressed their willingness to support Your Highness, while the other families are still observing!"

Upon hearing this answer, Li Tai couldn't help but sneer and say:

"Hehe! These aristocratic families are notorious for being opportunists, but having the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang is enough for now."

Tell them this is an opportunity. If they can help me succeed, I will reward them handsomely; they can choose any official position they want in the Three Departments and Six Ministries!

The man opened his mouth upon hearing his lord's words, but ultimately said nothing more. He simply cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Li Tai and said:

"Yes, Your Highness!"

……

Meanwhile.

Inside the Ritsujeong Hall!

Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin, who was happily gnawing on a crane leg, and said with some concern:

"Your Majesty! What about Gao Ming...?"

However, before she could finish speaking, Li Shimin immediately interrupted her:

"Hey! Don't worry, would I harm that kid?"

This kid has been getting too cocky lately; it's good to give him a good talking-to.

"Come, come! Guanyinbi, try this crane meat! It truly lives up to its name; the meat is far more delicious than chicken!"
