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

Upon hearing His Majesty's words, Canyue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly replied:

"This servant...this servant wouldn't dare!"

Oh my god, the boss who was laughing at us has been caught! Will our family even see the sun rise tomorrow?

Seeing his trembling and fearful expression, Li Shimin didn't bother to argue, but cursed his rebellious son hundreds of times in his heart.

Seeing that his emperor remained silent, Canyue cautiously inquired:

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty! Should I go and inform Consort Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately glared at him and said irritably:

"Where are you going?! I'm not in the mood. Back to the Liangyi Palace! Humph!"

……

On the other side, Li Chengqian was embracing Wu Zetian, preparing to go to sleep.

Just then, the system voice in my mind rang out!

【Ding! 】

[Rebellion Achievement Points +10]

[Rebellion Achievement Points +32]

[Rebellion Achievement Points +20]

……

Upon hearing the series of system announcements, Li Chengqian's mouth stretched almost to the back of his ears in a wide grin.

Wu Zetian, standing to the side, looked on blankly as her prince stopped what he was doing, drooling and grinning like an idiot.

"Your Highness! Are you alright?"

Wu Zetian asked somewhat uncertainly.

Upon hearing Wu Zetian's voice, Li Chengqian finally reacted. He quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, then looked at his beloved Wu Zetian with a mischievous grin and said:

"Hehehe! I'm in a good mood today, so I've decided to reward you properly!"

Before Wu Zetian could react, Li Chengqian pounced on her.

~~~！ ！ ~~！ ！ ！ ~

……

at the same time.

Inside a small courtyard in Beijing.

"This autumn hunt is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; let's take this chance to capture Li Chengqian..."

As the person speaking spoke, they made a throat-slitting gesture towards their own neck.

Upon seeing this, the others immediately became unhappy.

"Are you insane?! Assassinate Li Chengqian?! If Li Shimin finds out anything, we'll all be dead!"

The others couldn't help but nod in agreement upon hearing this.

"Indeed! Although our aristocratic families are not afraid of Li Shimin, there's no need for us to fight him to the death over Li Tai!"

Seeing the repeated refusals from the group, Zheng Yang sneered and said:

"Who said I was going to send assassins to kill Li Chengqian? We just need to tamper with his horse, make it go berserk, and what does it matter to us if the Crown Prince falls off?"

Having said that, he then looked at the others and said:

"I think it shouldn't be too difficult for you to do this, right?"

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

Seeing that the others were still hesitant, Zheng Yang pressed on while the iron was hot:

"It's just a fall from a horse, and he might not even die. But even so, it would be great if he could be left with some kind of disability. How could the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty possibly pass the throne to a cripple?"

At that time, all we need to do is go with the flow, and it will only be a matter of time before His Highness Prince Wei ascends the throne!

I think there's no one here who wouldn't want His Highness Prince Wei to sit in that position, right?!

After Zheng Yang finished speaking, the others couldn't help but frown.

As for Crown Prince Li Chengqian, they naturally hoped that Li Tai would ascend the throne.

After all, it seems that Li Tai is much easier to control than Li Chengqian. If Li Tai ascends the throne in the future, the Tang Dynasty will be dominated by these aristocratic families.

Thinking of this, the group immediately gritted their teeth.

"Done! It's nothing more than tampering with the warhorse. As long as the tampering is done cleanly, even Li Shimin won't be able to find anything!"

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for the autumn hunt.

Because the Eastern Turks were pacified this year, the autumn hunt was held more grandly than in previous years.

All the princes who were enfeoffed abroad were summoned back.

Even Li Shimin was dressed in golden armor, with three thousand Xuanjia soldiers gathered behind him.

The veteran officials present were also momentarily stunned by what they saw.

They seemed to see again the Prince of Qin, who once wielded immense power and defeated 100,000 with only 3,000 men at Hulao Pass!

Li Chengqian, meanwhile, watched from the side, riding his warhorse.

Looking at his old man's imposing appearance, Li Chengqian couldn't help but purse his lips.

Tsk tsk tsk! What a show-off! I could take on a hundred of you!

Although he was going hunting, Li Chengqian did not wear armor like Li Shimin. Instead, he wore a black civil and military robe, which made him look even more spirited!

Even Li Shimin couldn't help but be impressed by his son's attire today.

This brat is indeed worthy of being my son; he's seven-tenths as handsome as me!

Seemingly sensing his old man's gaze, Li Chengqian immediately gave Li Shimin a thumbs-up, then slowly turned it over!

Upon seeing this scene, the last vestige of fatherly love that had arisen for Li Chengqian vanished instantly.

What does this unfilial son mean?

Do you look down on me?

【Ding! 】

……

Just then, a young man rode up slowly to Li Chengqian's side and said:

"Brother! What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian turned his head and saw a handsome young man looking at him with curiosity.

If you look closely, you'll find that this person's appearance is seven parts similar to Li Shimin.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"Hahaha! It's Third Brother! We haven't seen each other for over half a year! Don't rush off after the autumn hunt, let's go to my East Palace for a couple of drinks!"

The visitor was none other than Li Ke, the Prince of Shu, the third son of Li Shimin, and also the son of Consort Yang.

In terms of bloodline, Li Ke, who carries the blood of two dynasties, is even more noble than Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

But precisely because of this, he was destined to never reach that position in his lifetime!

Seeing his older brother's enthusiastic manner, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

He and his elder brother had the best relationship when they were in the Prince of Qin's mansion. Compared to Li Tai, Li Ke and Li Chengqian were the true brothers in terms of affection.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, when Xue Wanche attacked the Prince of Qin's mansion, it was his own elder brother who held up Li Tai in front of him to shield him from stray arrows!

Upon hearing his elder brother's words, Li Ke quickly nodded and said:

"Of course, I won't stand on ceremony with you, brother. But brother, I've heard that Li Tai seems to be getting a bit too popular lately, and I'm afraid he's developing some inappropriate thoughts. You should be careful, brother!"

Seeing the worried look on the young man's face, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

He simply smiled indifferently, shook his head, and said:

"Hahaha! It's all just petty squabbles. I don't even care about Qingque's little tricks, so don't worry!"

Seeing his elder brother say this, Li Ke didn't say anything more.

My older brother has been much more mature than his peers since childhood, so I suppose he has already made up his mind!
