Chapter 136: Whatever you are afraid of will come to you
Look at Li Shimin’s embarrassed look as he has lost all his shoes.
Li Chengqian and Cheng Huailiang were so suppressed that their faces turned red, but they did not dare to laugh out loud.
They both would have laughed in this place.
A severe beating is definitely indispensable.
Li Chengqian quickly waved to Cheng Huailiang: "Let's run away quickly, or else the Longwu Army will come soon and we will be in trouble."
After saying this, Li Chengqian took the lead and ran out, leaning against the wall.
Cheng Huailiang did not hesitate and hurriedly followed Li Chengqian.
As soon as these two little ones went out, a large number of soldiers from the Longwu Army poured in from outside.
When they saw the white mist on the ground, they all froze in place, and no one dared to go in first.
Seeing this, Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Fan State, pushed aside the crowd and walked in.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he was also shocked.
After all, he has never seen such a scene.
But he was calm and remembered what his responsibilities were.
He ordered everyone to wait in the courtyard.
And he himself entered the hall with two lieutenants.
When he came in, Li Shimin was sitting on the chair in the middle.
"General Duan, why did you come in?"
"Didn't I tell you that you don't have to be on duty tonight? Why haven't you left yet?"
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan was stunned for a moment.
He also came over to take a look after hearing reports from below that there was movement here.
But now, apart from some fog outside, there's nothing wrong with it.
This time, Duan Zhixuan felt a little embarrassed.
I didn't know how to speak for a moment.
And just when he was thinking about how to deal with it.
Li Shimin then spoke, and he said with a smile: "Since General Duan is here, don't leave."
"Have a late-night snack with me."
Have supper with the emperor.
How glorious is that?
Duan Zhixuan quickly bowed in response.
For some reason, Duan Zhixuan felt that Li Shimin was a little strange today.
In the past, even when Li Shimin spoke, he exuded an indescribable confidence.
But today, I obviously feel a little lack of confidence.
It's like I've done something wrong.

However, he could not imagine how frightened Li Shimin had just been.
Until now, he still has one foot wearing a shoe and one foot without a shoe.
Of course, Li Shimin would never take the initiative to tell Duan Zhixuan these things.
If others knew that he was afraid of ghosts, would he still want to lose face?
What he wanted to do was to do everything possible to let Duan Zhixuan spend more time with him.
The so-called "suffering the consequences to save face" is exactly what he is talking about.
…
The initiator of all this did not actually run away.
When Li Chengqian came out of Ganlu Hall, he met the nun beside Queen Changsun.
Naturally, Mammy knew Li Chengqian, and she asked a lot of questions before Li Chengqian could speak.
Then Fei took Li Chengqian to greet Empress Changsun.
Li Chengqian had no choice but to let Cheng Huailiang escape first, and he went to Kunning Palace with his grandmother.
Because Li Chengqian had already arrived during the day today.
Seeing Li Chengqian again in the evening, Empress Changsun couldn't help but sigh.
This kid finally became sensible and knew how to greet his old mother sooner or later.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Li Chengqian stood up.
I just wanted to run away.
Unexpectedly, Queen Changsun said with a serious face at this time: "Why are you standing so far away?"
As she said that, she waved her hand gently: "Come here, come to your mother."
Li Chengqian did not dare to refute Queen Changsun's wishes.
He quickly ran to Queen Changsun and pretended to be a good boy.
"Um."
"I've definitely grown up."
Empress Changsun gently stroked his face: "You all know that sooner or later you will come to pay your respects to your mother."
"hey-hey."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian could only laugh.
He wanted to come over and say hello.
Clearly running away
If it doesn't work, I'll be caught by the old grandma.
But he thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
He quickly changed the subject and focused his gaze on Queen Changsun's belly.
"Mother, my child has had many dreams recently."
"What dream?"
Empress Changsun raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian.
"My child has been dreaming of reading and writing with his little brother recently." .??.??
"And he is much smarter than children."
"I even dreamed that he was appointed as the prince by his father."
"Shut up!"
When she heard Li Chengqian talk about the prince, Empress Changsun's originally happy face suddenly darkened.
She scolded directly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"What about canonizing a prince?"
"How could these words come from your mouth?"
Empress Changsun hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Although she really hopes that the baby in her belly is a boy.
But she even hoped that Li Chengqian could become the prince.
Li Shimin succeeded to the throne as his second son, which also brought him countless infamy.
If the Tang Dynasty had a second son to succeed him, it would really become a joke.
"You have to remember that you are the eldest son."
"When the Tang Dynasty appoints a prince, it will never be established over someone else."
"You also have to be ready."
"Did you hear that?"
Hearing these words, Li Chengqian curled his lips.
Obviously he didn't agree with it in his heart.
If he were in front of Li Shimin, he would definitely have to say something like, "They are all your sons, and it will be different who succeeds."
But in front of the wolf mother, he really didn't dare to show it.
He could only pretend to be obedient and say: "My child, please remember your mother's teachings."
"Well, as long as you understand."
Queen Changsun nodded with satisfaction and then said: "Okay, it's getting late, you go back first."
"My son, please retire."
Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. I was finally able to run away.
Just be sure not to be blocked by that guy Li Shimin.
But in this world, there will always be good things but bad things.
If you always think about good things in your heart, good things will never happen.
But if you think about bad things in your heart, bad things will come sooner or later.
Before Li Chengqian could run away, he heard the palace maid outside shouting: "Your Majesty is here!"
Damn...
Li Chengqian was so frightened that he suddenly straightened his body.
Then he slowly turned back, faced the door and bowed and saluted: "My son, I respectfully welcome my father..."
Li Shimin, who had just experienced a fright, was still a little pale at this time.
Seeing Li Chengqian here, he didn't say much, just waved his hands casually.
Queen Changsun saw that his face was not good, so she asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"nothing."
"I just feel a little uncomfortable."
How could Li Shimin say that he was scared?
With his face-saving personality.
I wish I could say that I just had a fight with someone.
But this was a big deal when it came to the ears of Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun quickly raised her hand to touch Li Shimin's forehead to see if he had a fever or anything.
But apart from Li Shimin's face being a little paler, there was nothing unusual about him.
"The weather has been hot recently. His Majesty may have suffered from heat stroke."
Then, regardless of Li Shimin's expression, she waved her hand and said, "Go and get the sour plum juice from the icehouse for your majesty to cool down."
After finishing speaking, she did not forget to add: "These sour plum soups are sent by Gan'er. They are the best for relieving summer heat and fatigue."
"Did Qian'er send it?"
Li Shimin quickly looked in the direction of Li Chengqian.
At this time, Li Chengqian had already sneaked to the gate and was only one step away from escaping.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin said: "Gan'er, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the sound, Li Chengqian showed an annoyed expression, but he still turned around slowly.
"It's getting so late, so I won't disturb my father, the emperor, and my queen..."
