In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

With so many people present, and in a brothel setting, Chai Lingwu's face immediately became unnatural, even burning hot, and he harbored resentment.

"Yes, yes, yes."

He repeatedly agreed and then left, but he did not restrain himself; instead, he became even more unruly.

The noise from their table was so loud that it couldn't be ignored.

"Have you heard? That girl from the Wu family has been imprisoned at Hongfu Temple?"

"Yeah?"

"How could this happen?"

"What else could it be? A corrupt family tradition, of course. I've heard that girl from the Wu family is quite something; she's secretly quite the ladies' man. Otherwise, why would His Majesty have broken off the engagement?"

"Shh!"

"Keep your voice down, or the Prince of Han will hear you."

Li Yuanchang's face next door was so dark it could drip water. All the anger he had been holding in for days was now surging up, almost exploding under the influence of alcohol. He was gripping his wine glass tightly in one hand.

"Your Highness, Chu Liang, don't be impulsive." Tang Meng was still sober, his eyes serious.

The other party is too powerful; if violence breaks out, it won't be a simple brawl.

Burning down a top-tier property wouldn't be a big deal for them as long as they weren't caught in the act. But if they showed their faces and took action, especially against someone like Chai Lingwu, no one would come out on top.

Li Yuanchang had been holding back, but before one problem was resolved, another arose.

Then, the sound from the other end stopped.

But suddenly, a voice, deliberately speaking softly, came over.

"So what if she's locked up in a temple? I've heard that girl from the Wu family is quite beautiful. She can still find men even in a temple, can't she?"

Are there men in the temple?

"Monk!"

Immediately, the other side burst into laughter.

"Fuck your mother!" The suppressed rage in Li Yuanchang's heart broke free from its restraints like a wild beast!

If the first time was a provocation and the second time was slander, then these three times were an insult!

This is an absolute insult, an insult to Li Yuanchang's woman!

Did he really think he was an easy target?

boom! !

The wine glass in Li Yuanchang's hand was suddenly crushed by his bare hand, exploding into pieces. Then, like a tiger descending a mountain, he leaped up from his chair and charged towards the opposite compartment.

The speed was so fast that Cheng Chuliang and the other three didn't even have time to react.

By the time they realized what was happening, a loud crash and screams erupted from the next room.

The four rushed over quickly, and when they entered, broken chairs were flying everywhere, and blood was spurting from Chai Lingwu's forehead!

Enraged, Li Yuanchang abandoned his usual gentle demeanor and took on more than thirty people single-handedly, dragging a thick stick.

The scene was completely out of control, drowned out by Chai Lingwu's screams and curses.

"Help me! Help me!"

"Beat him! Beat him to death!!"

The four were shocked, and the effects of the alcohol instantly wore off.

They are tigers, but not as ruthless as Li Yuanchang!

"It's over!"

"What should we do?" Tang Meng's face turned ashen.

"What crime did Chai Lingwu commit?" Yuchi Baoqi suddenly asked.

"capital offense!"

"So, what crime is it that we're all sharing a death sentence with?"

"He was punished with flogging and confined to his quarters."

The four exchanged glances and did some addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

The four of them spoke in unison, and immediately began to grab their weapons and join the chaotic and congested battlefield.

For a time, screams and roars never ceased.

The five men were gathering firewood. The family had nearly thirty or forty people, half of whom were strong and powerful guards.

Chai Lingwu managed to crawl under the table and create some distance between them.

Clutching his bleeding head, he roared, "The King of Han is committing murder! Attack him! Attack him!!"

boom! !

The next second, a guard flew out, smashed through the doors and windows, and crashed into the hall with a loud bang, causing screams from the guests and courtesans.

"Fuck your mother!" Li Yuanchang's roar was so clear.

He is the King of Han when he wears royal robes, but he is still a rogue when he takes them off!

"Help! Help! There's a fight upstairs!"

Someone shouted this, and the entire brothel was immediately thrown into panic.

Brothels like this all have their own thugs, and they quickly arrived at the side room under the guidance of the owner.

Upon closer inspection of the gruesome scene, it became clear that they were incapable of separating the pieces.

So the owner of the brothel quickly sent someone to the Jingzhao Prefecture to look for the person.

The Zhenguan era was considered one of the four great golden ages because of its excellent public security, and the officials and soldiers of the Chang'an Jingzhao Prefecture arrived quickly.

At first, they thought it was a fight among drunkards and planned to capture them all, but when they saw that it was the young master of the Chai family upstairs, they had no choice but to ask for instructions from above.

And at this moment, the situation has escalated, with another group of people from the Chai family arriving, bringing the total to nearly 180 people.

Soon after, Wang Xiang, the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, arrived. He was already a high-ranking official in Chang'an, the kind who could make a name for himself in the inner circle.

When he arrived, he saw that Chai Lingwu, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi... were all their ancestors fighting on the stage.

The entire family consists of sons of dukes, descendants of first-rank ministers, and a younger brother of the emperor.

Wang Xiang knew at a glance that this was not something he could handle, so he ordered his men to separate the two groups and sent someone to the palace that very night to report.

And so, a fight directly alarmed the central power structure of the Tang Dynasty!

When Li Shimin was awakened in the middle of the night, he heard that Li Yuanchang was fighting with a group of princes' sons in a brothel, with as many as a hundred people involved. He was furious!

Since the first year of the Zhenguan era, such lawlessness has never occurred.

He immediately dispatched over a thousand Imperial Guards to suppress the rebellion and issued an ultimatum to arrest the Prince of Han!

As soon as the Imperial Guards were mobilized, the second to be alerted was the Duke of E's Mansion, the third was the Duke of Lu's Mansion, the fourth was the Duke of Ju's Mansion, the fifth was the Prince of Hejian's Mansion, and the sixth was the Duke of Qiao's Mansion!

On a peaceful night, the high-ranking officials of Chang'an were suddenly shaken. The last time there was such a great tremor was when the Turks took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Chang'an.

This small brothel was filled with soldiers.

But by the time the Imperial Guards arrived, the fighting had already stopped.

Chai Lingwu was knocked to the ground unconscious, and all 87 of his guards and servants were seriously injured.

Li Yuanchang, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi, and Li Chongzhen were all injured, while Tang Meng's injuries were relatively more severe, but he still managed to stand up in the end.

When Hou Junji rushed to the scene, he was shocked to see the ruins of the flower house, filled with people wailing and vomiting blood.

When Hou Junji saw the half-dead Imperial Son-in-Law and Commander-in-Chief Chai Lingwu, even people of Hou Junji's rank felt a pang of unease and exchanged a glance with the Prefect of the Capital.

I thought to myself, "These ancestors of mine have really made a huge mess of things!"

The officials from the Jingzhao Prefecture immediately maintained order at the scene and provided medical treatment to Chai Lingwu and his entourage.

The four-person group was restrained and their injuries were treated first.

Li Yuanchang was taken away without any surprise and directly imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court.

The Court of Imperial Clan Affairs was not a temple, but one of the six ministries and nine temples of the Three Departments of the Tang Dynasty. It was specifically responsible for royal affairs and had extremely high authority.

The fight was finally over, but the real situation was just beginning!
