The Demonic Crown Prince

"Li Yuan, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

Li Jun roared.

New and old grudges surged into his heart, and with a roar, he lunged at Li Yuan.

"Come on, my good second brother, please don't pity me just because I'm the King of Qin!"

Li Yuan's eyes were waiting for this moment, just in time to give him a good beating—he still remembered those two slaps clearly, and before leaving the capital, he had to get that debt back with interest!

As brothers, we must keep clear accounts!

However, just then, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw two eunuchs hurrying towards the Funing Palace in the distance. That was the emperor's bedroom. They must have seen what was happening here and were running to report to the emperor.

There were quite a few people around who were secretly glancing in their direction.

If, in full view of everyone, I were to beat up Li Jun and then show favoritism to my father by protecting him, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

He narrowed his eyes, feigning panic, and turned to run towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He ran and shouted, "Li Jun, you, you mustn't do anything reckless, or I'll tell Father Emperor!"

"Don't run away if you've got the guts, let me beat you up."

Li Jun roared.

Do you think I'm as stupid as you?

Li Yuan ran incredibly fast, even the best guard on Li Jun's side couldn't catch up with him.

Li Jun and his group could only watch helplessly as he ran into the Funing Palace.

"Your Highness, we've arrived at Funing Palace. Stop chasing..."

The guards behind him stopped and pleaded with him from outside.

"I'll wait outside the hall. I'm going to beat him to a pulp today, and nobody can stop me!"

Li Jun stared at Li Yuan's retreating figure as he ran into the hall, his eyes bloodshot, and gritted his teeth as he spoke fiercely.

At this moment, Li Yuan had already run into the Funing Palace. After informing the eunuch on duty, he entered the Funing Palace.

Emperor Jinglong had already heard two palace eunuchs run back to report that the two princes were about to fight, and he was so annoyed that he was about to send someone out to stop them.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan rushed in first to complain.

"Father, Father, something terrible has happened! My second brother is going to hit me..."

Li Yuan rushed in, feigning a panicked expression.

Emperor Jinglong was initially moved by his dignified and righteous demeanor in court yesterday, but after his dramatic act of stealing his lover in Duanhe Palace, coupled with Consort Wang's tearful complaints to him last night, his goodwill vanished.

Now, seeing Li Yuan only fueled his anger. He pointed at Li Yuan's nose and yelled, "With your cowardly character, you still dare to act tough and quell the rebellion in Yanbei?"

"Father, I am not a coward, but the ancestral teachings forbid brothers from fighting each other. I would rather be beaten than fight back."

Li Yuan feigned grievance and whispered his defense.

"What's the big deal about a fight between brothers? From now on, if anyone dares to hit you, you hit them back. If you win, it's your skill; if you lose, it's your incompetence."

"You're about to lead troops into battle, why bother me with such childish matters?"

Emperor Jinglong roared angrily.

"Your subject, your subject is afraid that if you strike too hard, you might hurt your brothers..."

Li Yuan said in a low voice.

A hint of disdain flashed across Emperor Jinglong's eyes. From childhood to adulthood, this son of his had always been the one to be beaten and bullied by everyone he met, and he didn't even dare to fight back, let alone hit too hard.

joke!

Having keenly observed Emperor Jinglong's expression, Li Yuan coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "How about Father grants me a written edict, so that I can retaliate against anyone who bullies me in the future and avoid being bullied myself?"

"Look at your worthless character, I truly regret making you the crown prince in the first place!"

Emperor Jinglong became increasingly annoyed as he watched him tremble.

"Fine, I'll issue you a decree that you're allowed to retaliate against anyone who dares to bully you in the future."

But remember, once this edict is given to you, whatever the outcome, do not bother me again!

After saying this, Emperor Jinglong wrote a handwritten edict for him, affixed his imperial seal, tossed it to him, and quickly sent him away.

As for what happens next, he couldn't be bothered to care. What great things could a good-for-nothing like him possibly achieve?

"Thank you, Father..."

Li Yuan expressed his deepest gratitude.

Having obtained what he was looking for, Li Yuan walked out of the Funing Palace with his head held high, heading towards the outside of the palace.

As a result, not long after they arrived at the palace gate, Li Jun had already surrounded them with a group of guards.

Li Yuan was accompanied only by a young eunuch, who stood there trembling, leading the horse, almost wetting himself in fear.

"Little Gui, go and wait over there," Li Yuan said to the little eunuch.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince has many powerful followers. Perhaps you should temporarily avoid confrontation?"

"Me, avoid his sharp edge?" Li Yuan sneered.

"Li Yuan, you cheated me out of my money, insulted me, and stole my woman. Today I'll beat you to death!"

Li Jun roared and stood in front of Li Yuan.

"Good second brother, I advise you not to take action, because Father Emperor just gave me a decree saying that if I am bullied again, I can retaliate at will."

Li Yuan took out Emperor Jinglong's edict and waved it around.

"You spineless coward who only knows how to complain to the Emperor, let's see how you fight back!"

Li Jun grinned maliciously and pounced on Li Yuan, throwing a punch at him.

"You can't afford my retaliation!"

Li Jun grinned maliciously; his chance had come.

He tucked the order into his pocket, ducked to avoid the punch, and then delivered a powerful blow to Li Jun's stomach with a "Black Tiger Strike".

This time, he's on official business to beat people up!

Li Jun let out a strange cry of "Oh!" as his facial features contorted in pain.

But Li Yuan didn't stop. He then used the entire Black Dragon Eighteen Hands technique on him, which was once the most lethal secret technique in the army.

After finishing his punches, Li Jun was already covered in blood and collapsed on the ground.

Li Yuan was holding back; otherwise, Li Jun would already be meeting his maker.

Through this initial test, Li Yuan felt even more strongly that he was now incredibly strong. Even if the seven or eight well-trained expert guards beside him attacked together, they would definitely not be his match.

The whole process was too fast. By the time he finished fighting, the group of guards who had been watching the commotion with their arms crossed finally reacted and rushed over to protect their master.

"I am the King of Qin, about to lead my troops into battle. Anyone who dares to touch me is courting death; await your execution and the confiscation of your property!"

Li Yuan stood there motionless, his eyes fixed on the guards with a sinister gaze.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that fighting these people would be beneath me, and there's no need to test my martial arts skills.

The guards finally remembered his identity, and when they saw his fierce eyes, they all trembled and dared not step forward.

"Good second brother, now you've paid back all the debts for framing me and slapping me twice."

However, let me give you a piece of advice: when you're in the game, you must know when to advance and when to retreat.

If you ever dare to offer me your paws again, I'll chop them off!

Li Yuan clapped his hands and sneered.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a woman standing under the shade of a tree in the distance, who turned out to be Xu Shuying.

At this moment, she was covering her cherry-like mouth, staring in horror at what had just happened. Everything that had just occurred to her!
