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

Qin Keyu's long eyelashes fluttered, and she suddenly realized, "Your Highness, you...you wouldn't be thinking of investigating him, would you?"

"I can help!" she volunteered, her round eyes immediately lighting up.

Seeing this, Situ Lan smiled wryly and helplessly rubbed her forehead.

Li Yuanchang was both amused and exasperated: "Do you really dislike him that much?"

"It's not dislike, it's hatred!"

"This guy has been bullying the weak for a long time, relying on his powerful father. I've heard he's harmed quite a few innocent women, and he doesn't take any responsibility for it."

"And every time I see that look in his eyes, I feel like gouging them out and stomping on them!"

Qin Keyu described it vividly, her delicate oval face both delicate and fierce, making her look extremely cute.

"Don't worry, heaven is watching what people do, he won't have a good ending, but you shouldn't get involved."

Qin Keyu pouted, then smiled and said, "That's good. This humble woman thanks Your Highness for ridding the people of this scourge!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Yuanchang was amused by her lively and unpredictable nature again, and then stood up.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let you two close friends chat. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Okay!" Qin Keyu readily agreed.

"this……"

Situ Lan hesitated, "It's too late, Keyu, why don't you go back first and we can get together another day, so your family won't worry."

"It's alright, I've already told my family that the Princess Consort of Han has invited me, so no one will dare say anything if I don't go back, hehe." Qin Keyu held Situ Lan's hand, being very clingy.

"But..." Situ Lan hesitated, looking to Li Yuanchang for help.

"Oh!! I understand, Sister Situ. It's because our sisterly bond has faded. You want to be with His Highness the Prince of Han. I'm going back now." Qin Keyu guessed it immediately, deliberately lowered her face, pouted, and left.

"Hey, Keyu-meimei."

"I'll take you home," Situ Lan said, feeling guilty, and chased after him.

Li Yuanchang watched her go with a smile. This girl was quite interesting; women with such a personality were truly rare in ancient times.

She has a good figure and is already well-developed. If she becomes a mother in the future, she'll probably look even more stunning.

When he thought of this, he was suddenly startled, realizing what he was thinking.

No, no, that won't do.

This is Situ Lan's best friend!

He silently recited it three times in his heart, something that would be a major taboo in later generations!

Soon after, Situ Lan returned.

Li Yuanchang, with a lantern lit, waited in the corridor, looking nothing like an ancient prince.

"Your Highness." Situ Lan smiled and ran over.

"Sent off?"

"Hmm." Situ Lan took Li Yuanchang's hand very familiarly.

Such intimate behavior was rare in ancient times, and even more so among the royal and noble families who valued etiquette, but the two were already familiar with each other.

"Why didn't you try to stop her earlier? You didn't even get to say much."

"This...isn't appropriate."

"Is it because it's inappropriate, or is it because you can't sleep without sleeping with me?"

"Your Highness, you...you're so annoying!"

"Hahaha!"

"You're being annoying now, but you'll have to tell your husband to be gentle later."

"..."

Situ Lan, a well-bred young lady from a scholarly family, was so amused that she blushed and felt extremely ashamed.

This probably confirms the saying that men have two great hobbies: dragging virtuous women into prostitution and persuading prostitutes to reform themselves.

Teasing a prostitute is boring, but teasing a dignified, elegant, and well-educated woman is a different story; her blushing is truly captivating.

The next day.

In mid-December, the temperature in Liangzhou dropped sharply, and it was already quite chilly to wear only a thin inner layer and an outer coat.

Early in the morning, Situ Lan had someone bring warmer clothes for Li Yuanchang to change into.

To be honest, everything was backward in ancient times, but men's status was absolutely top-notch!

"Your Highness, Your Highness!!"

While Li Yuanchang was still tidying his clothes, he heard hurried footsteps outside.

"What's the rush?"

"Your Highness, the people who went to Luoma Post Station have returned, and the situation seems to have changed somewhat."

Li Yuanchang's expression changed slightly. A change?

"My lady, I'll be going out for a bit."

"I'm not eating it."

Before Situ Lan could say anything, her red lips were kissed, and Li Yuanchang disappeared.

She smiled helplessly.

forecourt.

"What's going on?" Li Yuanchang asked seriously.

The servant of the Lü family said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, it's really not my fault. When we rushed to Luoma Post Station overnight, the eldest young master's men told me that he had already returned to Liangzhou and was not at Luoma Post Station. We couldn't contact him."

Li Yuanchang frowned: "Is he still in Liangzhou?"

"It's hard to say. The eldest young master is playful by nature, and sometimes he does disappear for a while to indulge in debauchery with his friends. Even the servants below may not know where he goes," said a servant of the Lü family.

Li Yuanchang glanced at the guards of the Prince's Palace beside him and nodded, confirming that it was true.

Now he was in a difficult position. How was he supposed to find someone in such a large city as Liangzhou?

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go back to the Lü residence. If Lü Ping asks any questions, just report the truth. Then, secretly monitor Lü Ping's every move for me. If you have any news, come to the residence immediately to report it."

"I will not treat you unfairly."

As he spoke, Li Yuanchang tossed a bag of copper coins to a servant of the Lü household.

The servants of the Lü household felt a heavy weight on their shoulders, their faces filled with excitement: "Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

After the people left, Guo Chao couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what do we do now? Our men are still camped at the city gate; it seems they won't be able to hold out any longer."

Li Yuanchang seemed to be deep in thought, and then he thought of someone.

"Prepare the horses!"

"yes!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Li Yuanchang led a group of men to a rather grand mansion in Liangzhou, located outside the bustling city, and was built with great care.

The plaque above the gate prominently displays the two large characters "Qin Mansion".

Li Yuanchang did not go to the door, but waited outside for a short while.

The vermilion gate suddenly opened, and a beautiful figure flashed out. She was dressed as a man, but it didn't look out of place at all. She was extremely pretty. If you had to describe her, she would say she had red lips and white teeth, and a face like a peach blossom!

Li Yuanchang said with a smile, "Can I do you a favor?"

Qin Keyu smiled mischievously and sweetly, acting very familiar, and said with her hands behind her back, "Okay, but Your Highness, as a reward, you have to promise me one thing."

"Can."

"Don't you want to ask what kind of help I'm providing?" Li Yuanchang raised an eyebrow.

"Your Highness didn't ask me, so why should I? A hero and talent like Your Highness wouldn't go back on his word, would he?" She tilted her head, exuding a youthful charm.

Li Yuanchang was immediately amused: "Okay."

"Get in the carriage first, we'll talk inside."

Without saying a word, Qin Keyu got into the carriage.

After Li Yuanchang got on, the carriage began to slowly and aimlessly travel down the street.

"Do you have any way to help me lure Lü Jie out?"
