If this gets out, Prince Jing'an will lose face, and the heir will be furious.
Wang Linquan is secretly stirring things up, and Li Chang'an is a huge problem!
"Could it be that Li Chang'an actually used some kind of coercive means?!"
"Yes, he's highly skilled in martial arts and incredibly lecherous! That must be it!"
"Li Chang'an, Li Chang'an, you've thrown yourself into a fire pit, don't blame me!"
Three poles in the sun.
Pei Nanwei, nestled in Li Chang'an's arms, slowly opened her eyes.
"Your Highness... you should leave Qingzhou as soon as possible. I doubt Zhao Heng would dare to stop you..."
She had only said two sentences when Li Chang'an interrupted the conversation.
"You don't believe me when I tell you you're a bed beetle."
“No ordinary woman would have one or two children on her first night of virginity.”
Pei Nanwei's face was flushed as she carefully cut and tidied up the fallen plum blossom sheets.
"I am willing to serve you, Your Highness, please leave now."
Li Chang'an said calmly, "What will you do after I leave?"
Pei Nanwei said, "Then it depends on Prince Jing'an's mood."
“I would have no complaints even if he wanted to kill me or imprison me.”
Li Chang'an said, "You are my woman now. I will handle the rest."
Pei Nanwei looked at Li Chang'an in surprise, her worry growing stronger.
"Your Highness is unaware of the full picture; what are your plans?"
Li Chang'an said, "Respond to all changes by remaining unchanged."
The Embroidered Uniform Guard is still investigating Wang Linquan and the Western Shu Restoration Organization.
Now, Li Chang'an has forcibly taken Pei Nanwei.
Wang Linquan has already gone to Xiangfan City to report this matter to Prince Jing'an.
Xiangfan City.
The Jing'an Prince's Mansion.
In the main hall, Prince Jing'an solemnly accepted a string of Buddhist prayer beads.
The one who handed over the prayer beads was a stunningly beautiful nun dressed in white and wearing a veil.
She had shaved off all 33,000 strands of hair from her head, wore a snow-white monk's robe, and had a white snake used as a rope to hold a white pot on her wrist.
Her jade-like feet were barefoot, yet untouched by the slightest speck of dust.
White clothes, white snake, white pot.
This is none other than the so-called White-Robed Guanyin, the female Dharma King of Landuo Mountain, and the Six-Bead Dharma King of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.
"Your Highness's devotion to Buddhism is truly a blessing for the Buddhist community."
"These snow mountain prayer beads are a gift to you."
The voice of the white-robed Guanyin was like heavenly music, completely calm and undisturbed.
Prince Jing'an clasped his hands together and said, "Zhao Heng has acted recklessly these past two years, causing him to be burdened with karmic debts."
"From now on, I will remarry and stay at home to cultivate myself."
The white-robed Guanyin said, "I have come here to use esoteric Buddhist techniques to deliver the souls of the vengeful spirits of Xiangfan."
"It's a fortunate coincidence that we encountered this good fortune from the Prince; it's truly a meritorious deed."
After speaking, the white-robed Guanyin left the palace with her four disciples.
Just as I reached the gate, I suddenly heard a pitiful cry.
"Your Highness! This humble subject deserves to die!"
"Your Highness, I have failed to live up to your expectations!"
"Miss Pei! Miss Pei has been kidnapped!"
Wang Linquan cried loudly as he entered the Wang Mansion with the help of the mansion's steward.
Wang Linquan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face!
Upon seeing Prince Zhao Xun arrive, Wang Linquan wept even more bitterly.
His face was covered in bruises, and his clothes were torn in several places.
Prince Jing'an frowned deeply. "Wang Linquan, what happened to you?!"
Zhao Xun also asked, "What did you just say! What happened to Miss Pei?"
Wang Linquan cried out, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Something terrible has happened!"
"Emperor Li Chang'an of Tang stayed at my humble home last night!"
Wang Linquan's Tianmu Mountain frequently hosted high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and also provided considerable assistance to the Jing'an Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, Zhao Heng and his son Zhao Xun did not take his reception of Li Chang'an seriously.
"Yesterday, Miss Pei taught my daughter the zither at my humble abode."
"Just as I was leaving that evening, Li Chang'an happened to see me!"
"I never imagined that Li Chang'an would actually order his personal guards to forcibly take Miss Pei away!"
"Last night...last night! Li Chang'an forced Miss Pei to serve him in bed!"
"Oh dear... Oh dear..."
Wang Linquan, enraged by his lie, pounded the ground with his fist, looking utterly miserable!
Zhao Heng's face was ashen, and the prayer beads in his hand spun rapidly, as if he were pondering the underlying schemes.
Zhao Xun staggered back several steps, trembling all over, his lips turning purple with rage!
"Wang Linquan! Doesn't Li Chang'an know that Miss Pei will soon be the Princess Consort of Jing'an!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Linquan immediately pointed to the injury on his face.
"I told them! I almost got beaten to death for it!"
"I never expected that Li Chang'an wouldn't be afraid at all!"
"He also said...he also said..."
"He even dared to steal Xu Rentu's daughter!"
"Not only did the emperor not punish him, but he also bestowed Xu Xiao's other daughter upon him!"
"No matter how powerful Prince Jing'an is, can he compare to Xu Rentu of Beiliang!"
Zhao Xun drew his long sword from his waist and roared angrily.
"Too presumptuous!"
"Li Chang'an is indeed as arrogant as the rumors say!"
"Father, I request permission to lead troops and destroy him!"
Zhao Heng was furious!
This is a blatant slap in the face from Li Chang'an!
However, years of power struggles had instilled in him a habit of forbearance.
His mind raced as he began to consider Li Chang'an's purpose.
Was all of this orchestrated by the imperial court...?
Is this another drama from Qingcheng Mountain, where the loser of the two kings' rivalry is stripped of his fiefdom?
Wait a minute, my surname is Zhao!
However, I almost became emperor back then, and I have always been a thorn in my second brother's side.
The smarter a person is, the more likely they are to overthink.
Zhao Heng was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Xun's impetuousness.
"Is there a marriage agreement or a betrothal gift between me and Miss Pei?"
"The two princes' fight over a woman has given the court a pretext to reduce the power of the princes."
Zhao Xun was furious; his eyes were practically spitting fire!
That was Pei Nanwei, the woman he had been longing for!
For more than two years, he hadn't even been able to touch the goddess!
Zhao Heng said coldly, "The Qingzhou navy is on standby at Chun Shen Lake, keeping an eye on Li Chang'an's movements."
"Deploy more troops to block Li Chang'an's path and lay an ambush in the mountains and forests."
