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

If he had made even the slightest adjustment, the Crown Princess wouldn't have had to run around.

"Seventh Uncle, may I ask who the third is?" Madam Su was clearly grateful and expectant.

Li Yuanchang took a sip of tea and looked into her almond-shaped eyes.

"Princess Consort, the third thing I'd like to ask you to pass on a message to the Crown Prince."

"What message? I will definitely convey it!" In Su's eyes at this moment, Li Yuanchang was still a capable ally who could be won over.

Li Yuanchang said deeply, "Doing nothing is winning!"

Su was clearly taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind it.

But Li Yuanchang couldn't go into too much detail. It's best not to get involved in other people's karma; just touch on the surface and do what your conscience tells you.

Because Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian, uncle and nephew, were actually very good friends in their early years.

Adding to the recent events, Li Yuanchang felt he should offer a reminder if he could.

Li Chengqian's tragic end was largely due to his own inability to maintain his composure. As the crown prince, if he didn't make mistakes, he would be the legitimate heir.

Even prominent officials like Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng from the Zhenguan era would not agree to Li Shimin deposing the crown prince.

But this guy...

"Very well, I will definitely take those words back with me," Madam Su said solemnly.

Li Yuanchang nodded, having accomplished all his objectives for this trip.

He stood up.

The ancients valued face and etiquette, and lacking these things would be a significant blow to their mental health. However, Li Yuanchang was actually quite happy with it.

If things proceed as normal, Li Shimin would probably send quite a few people to follow him. In name, he was being given to him, but who knows if there were any spies among them?

These kinds of informants are not like Cao Cao and Ma Chao, who can act on a whim. You know they are informants, so you must keep them around.

The carriage left Chang'an and drove from the vast open plains onto the post road.

At that moment, the roar of galloping horses sounded from behind.

"Big brother, big brother!"

"Wait for us!!"

Hearing the noise from inside the carriage, Li Yuanchang poked his head out in surprise.

Three people galloped towards them on horseback; they were Cheng Chuliang and his companions. Others dared not come to see Li Yuanchang off, but they did!

He subconsciously smiled, and then told Guo Chao and the others to stop.

He secretly protected her, and after sending Wu Meiniang away, the only thing he couldn't let go of was these four brothers who had met him by chance but had formed a deep friendship with him.

Because he was afraid of implicating them or affecting the self-preservation of their families, he did not visit them, even though he was about to leave Chang'an.

But I didn't expect them to actually come.

"Whoa!!"

"Big brother!"

Cheng Chuliang and the other two dismounted, their faces beaming with joy.

"Why are you here?" Li Yuanchang rarely smiled.

"Hahaha, big brother, you're so disloyal! You're leaving Chang'an without even telling us, you just sneak off on your own!"

"We rushed to the Prince of Han's mansion, but only found a few old men left behind. The place was deserted. We found out they had just left, so we immediately came after them!" Cheng Chuliang said.

"Yeah, big brother, why didn't you wait for us brothers?" Yu Chi Baoqi and Li Chongzhen complained one after the other.

Li Yuanchang frowned: "Baoqi, what's wrong with your face?"

Yuchi Baoqi's face was injured, even bruised.

"I fell, I fell, hehe, it's nothing!"

Li Yuanchang felt a little guilty. Although Yuchi Baoqi didn't say anything, he roughly knew what had happened. Most likely, he had beaten up Chai Lingwu with him and then got beaten up by his father.

Yuchi Gong was indeed ruthless; Cheng Chuliang seemed to be unharmed.

"Did you sneak out this time?" Li Yuanchang suddenly realized, worried that they would get beaten up again when they got back.

"Brother, don't worry, the old man agreed to this trip."

"My father said that the Prince of Han took all the blame for us in the Liangyi Hall, which shows his loyalty and righteousness. We should come and see him off, but we should keep a low profile."

"Me too! Besides, if he doesn't agree, I'll kill myself!" Yu Chi Baoqi and the other two perfectly portrayed the willful and spoiled young masters.

Li Yuanchang was amused, but he was still quite grateful to Cheng Yaojin and the others, who had pleaded for him at the Liangyi Hall.

They were heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, valuing loyalty and righteousness.

"Where is Tang Meng?"

Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi, and Li Chongzhen all came, but Tang Meng, the only one with a civil official background, was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, big brother, I was just about to tell you. Tang Meng probably won't be able to come. His father is different from our fathers."

"His father was a civil official, and he cared about this and that, unlike our father who came from the battlefield and was more sentimental."

"Moreover, this time Tang Meng has completely angered his father. If you had taken responsibility for this, he would have at most given you a beating and made you copy some scriptures."

"But I heard that other things this kid did were also discovered, and he was punished for multiple crimes! So Tang Meng can't get out, and the three of us got a good scolding from his father when we went to his house," Li Chongzhen said.

"What else did he do?" Li Yuanchang frowned, somewhat worried.
