Cheng Chubi stood in the Li Zheng Hall, looking at the prince Li Chengqian who kept opening and closing his mouth.
I thought of Helan Chushi's abnormal behavior in the past few days, and how Hou Junji actually invited His Highness the Crown Prince to go out to the East Palace tomorrow to conduct military exercises with his troops.
Something is wrong, very wrong. After all, Hou Junji is a person with a criminal record. Well, in another historical time and space, this guy conspired with the stripping and fleshy Crown Prince in front of him to kill Li Shimin.
Now, who can guarantee that the Hou Jun Assembly will not conspire with others to kill the prince...
Li Chengqian couldn't help but wonder when he saw Brother Chu Bi's face suddenly turned very ugly. He stood on the spot and stared at the armor in silence.
"Brother Chu Bi, brother Chu Bi, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Highness, minister..."
Cheng Chubi turned his face and opened his mouth to speak. Suddenly he realized that he had no physical evidence and no witnesses. Who could guarantee that General Hou would have the intention to harm the prince?
What if I am suspicious? You can't let the prince send people to arrest General Nahou now just because of his suspicion, right?
The most difficult part about this presumption of guilt is that, without evidence, no one will believe it even if it is just a loose ends.
"Brother Chu Bi, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Li Chengqian asked with concern, looking at Brother Chu Bi's troubled appearance as if he was constipated.
Cheng Chubi waved his hand and forced a smile, rolled his eyes, and spoke to Li Chengqian.
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Your Highness, I think the operation should be done sooner rather than later. How about you send someone to inform General Hou and go another day?"
Before Li Chengqian could say anything, Yu Zhining on the side became unhappy, stood up, and spoke earnestly to Cheng Chubi.
"Deputy Commander Cheng, military affairs are not a matter of entertainment. Military orders are like mountains, how can they be changed overnight?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi became irritable for no reason and stared.
"If something happens to His Highness, will you be responsible?!"
After hearing this, Yu Zhining bulged his eyes not to be outdone.
"...That's natural. As the prince, Yu Mou has to bear the responsibility."
"Haha... His Royal Highness the Prince has an accident with his rich body. Can you afford it?"
Seeing these two guys starting to, well, habitually fight each other again, Li Chengqian has seen too many such scenes.
He wiped his face helplessly and quickly intervened between the two big men at the risk of being a man.
"Two, two, brother Chu Bi, Yu Qing, please stop for a moment."
"Both of you are concerned about Gu's safety. Gu is very pleased, but Gu has already agreed to Chen Guogong."
"Chen Guogong is the head of the military ministers who stay in the imperial capital. Since his request has been agreed to, it would be really unsightly if he goes back on his word."
#####
After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, Cheng Chubi already understood that after all, he and the Crown Prince knew each other well.
The kind where you can tell what the other person wants to do just by raising his butt.
The more Li Chengqian explained, it meant that he had to go. Otherwise, why waste his time and settle the matter without saying a word?
But since he wanted to go, it was not impossible. Cheng Chubi originally wanted to accompany him, but His Highness the Crown Prince was not willing.
"Brother Chu Bi, I want to leave the city to support the army. I will leave in the morning. I have to return at noon at the earliest."
"So, I ask Brother Chu Bi to stay in the East Palace to prevent any accidents. If Brother Chu Bi is not here, how can I leave with peace of mind?"
Looking at the sincere and sincere Crown Prince in front of him, Cheng Chubi could only brace himself and nod.

After a short while, a group of palace maids, eunuchs, and the passing guards of the East Palace all looked at the two people in confusion.
Cheng Sanlang, who was wearing a helmet, was pulling the prince Zhan Shiyu Zhining forward quickly.
"Cheng Sanlang, if you drag Yu so much, please let go quickly. If you don't let go, I will call someone."
Yu Zhining had a dark look on his face. He tried to break away from Cheng Sanlang's hand several times, but couldn't. He couldn't help but said anxiously.
"Haha, it's no use screaming, just follow me."
Cheng Chubi continued to stride forward without looking back until he came to a secluded place, and then he let go of Yu Zhining's hand.
Yu Zhining immediately raised his arms and covered his nose with his hands, ignoring the fact that Cheng Sanlang was bulging his eyes and getting angry.
"I said, Cheng Sanlang, you just say what you want. Do you have to come to a place like this?"
Like a magic trick, Cheng Chubi took out two white masks and quickly put on one himself. Then he handed the other one to Yu Zhining.
"This East Palace is like a fence. Only here is the safest place to talk."
"..." Yu Zhining had a dark look on his face, but he couldn't refute Cheng Sanlang's words. Damn Yanli, I don't know which bastard came up with the adjective.
Now Manchang Angan all know how to use this word to describe the East Palace. His Royal Highness the Prince has a big heart, so it doesn't matter.
But as the chief steward of the East Palace, when I heard this, I immediately blushed, um, convulsed.
It is said that this adjective was spread from the old Cheng family, but unfortunately there is no evidence.
#####
"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Yu will have to deal with official duties soon, and later he will have to prepare for His Royal Highness to leave the palace to appease the army tomorrow."
Cheng Chubi was wearing a white mask, and he and Na Yu Zhining were standing next to the pig pen. Well, pigs, sheep, and various livestock and poultry have always been raised here.
The purpose is to supply meat, milk, eggs and other products to His Royal Highness the Prince and his family. This was exactly what Cheng Sanlang suggested.
Looking at the big fat pig lazily slumped in the pig pen, groaning and sleeping, Cheng Chubi finally made up his mind.
"There is a saying that Cheng doesn't know whether to say or not."
Hearing this, Yu Zhining was delighted. "If you feel it's inappropriate to say it, Vice Leader Cheng, then don't say it."
"I said, Lao Yu, can you be more reliable? You should listen to Cheng first. It's not too late for you to make sarcastic remarks."
"Since you have been in Chang'an all this time, do you know what the relationship between the Duke of Chen and the King of Wei is like? The two parties often move around?"
Yu Zhining, who was originally full of disgust and wanted to leave directly, heard this and couldn't help but look at Cheng Sanlang with some surprise.
"Look at what I've done, and I want to ask you something."
"This... I don't know about this. How could you have thought of asking this question without Cheng Sanlang?"
"Helan Qianniu's behavior has been very strange in the past few days, and I have never heard of any military exercises before.
Suddenly, Chen Guogong made such a decision, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Even though Cheng Sanlang's mouth and nose were covered by a white mask, Yu Zhining still heard that Cheng Sanlang's tone was very solemn.
