Li Yue kept discussing with Hao Ren, trying to get him to give up the plan to kidnap the prince, but after hearing the other party's words, Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Have you ever heard of the Phoenix tree?"
Li Yue was startled, and a thought flashed through her mind. It seemed to be a treasure that she heard her father talk about when she was a child. It was an important national weapon of Dongli Kingdom and had the magical power of rebirth from the ashes.
This kind of thing is more valuable than a princess or a prince.
If it were other treasures, Li Yue believed that she would definitely be able to steal them, but such important weapons of the country were guarded by the best experts. It was impossible for a grandmaster to steal them easily, let alone her.
Seeing that Li Yue was silent, Hao Ren chuckled, "So, your method is impossible. Only the prince may have this weight. To be honest, if it were possible, I would really want to arrest you. If he
If it is in my hands, then I will basically have no problem getting the Poinciana tree."
Hao Ren said the last word with a hint of regret in his tone. As the leader of the Dongli Kingdom, he would definitely have top experts guarding him and would not leave the palace easily. Therefore, he could only think about this idea.
Hearing Hao Ren's words, Li Yue suddenly fell silent. She didn't expect that this guy would have such terrifying thoughts and even wanted to kidnap his own father.
She knew that she didn't need to say too much after all she had said.
It was impossible for Hao Ren to give up the plan. Now she could only pray that the prince would not leave the palace because of her letter. However, thinking of the content of the letter, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
Mo Chen came to the entrance of the palace in the darkness. Instead of entering, he placed a letter in front of the guards at the door. With his ability, standing in front of these people, they could not detect him.
The guards saw the letter, and at the same time, they saw the name on the envelope, the letter that Princess Liyue gave to the prince. These guards did not dare to delay, or even opened it, and sent the letter directly to the palace.
In the Prince's East Palace, at this time, the other party was still reviewing some memorials. Now the leader of the Dongli Kingdom is old and barely relies on some medicine to stay young. Only a few people know the real situation.
Therefore, the prince also started supervising the country early and assisting in handling state affairs.
Prince Liqian was considered diligent and humbly accepted the advice of his ministers. Although his management of state affairs was not first-class, it was not very bad and he did not make any mistakes.
Therefore, his prestige in the court is pretty good.
You can't become a king who expands territory, but you can still defend a city.
At this time, the palace door opened, and several palace maids in the palace immediately turned their heads and looked. This was an internal guard who came in with a letter. He was still three feet away from the prince, so he stopped and said respectfully.
He said, "Your Highness, this is Princess Liyue's personal letter, which came from outside the palace."
Hearing this, Li Qian, who was reviewing the memorial, was startled, and then smiled, "It seems that my little sister has caused trouble outside again, and she wants me to take the blame for her again."
This thing has happened many times. Every time he gets into trouble, he has to come to the rescue. He is used to it. This little girl is innocent and cute. She has no scheming. She is just naughty. She often sneaks out of the palace and is still there when she comes back.
He will bring them some fun and delicious food, so he is very popular in the palace, and everyone is willing to help this little girl wipe her butt.
He waved to the other party to bring up the letter. A palace maid came forward, took the letter, wiped it lightly without noticing there was any problem, and then handed it to Li Qian.
"Let me see what trouble this little girl has gotten into again?"
Li Gan smiled and opened the envelope, but as he looked at it, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, "This little girl, I didn't expect it to give me a surprise."
He is now in charge of state affairs and needs people to support him. The Luo family is the largest family in Dongli. They are full of military generals who are capable of recruiting and fighting. They also control most of Dongli's troops. If they can win this The only talented woman from the Luo family, there will basically be no obstacles to her ascending to the throne in the future.
Unfortunately, the girl from the Luo family didn't seem to be very interested in me, and her previous attempts were politely rejected.
Li Qian was not discouraged. If he could win easily, the other party would not be worth his attention.
As a young girl, she was quite capable. She even said that she had made a date with Luo Lan outside to create a chance for herself and the other party to be alone.
He did not doubt whether it was true or not. The younger sister was a good friend of the other party, and she could indeed do it.
"Zhulin Xiaozhu, you can go and have a look tomorrow at noon. If you can successfully establish a good relationship with Luo Lan, it will be easier for further development in the future."
Li Qian pondered for a moment and thought to himself that this was much more important than dealing with state affairs.
Thinking of this, he nodded and signaled to the messenger that he could leave. Then he said to the palace maid beside him, "I will put down everything during the day tomorrow. I have important matters to leave the palace."
"Your Highness wants to leave the palace? I don't know what's going on? It's not very peaceful outside now. The prince left the palace rashly. If he encounters danger..."
The maid on the side hesitated for a moment and then started to persuade her. Although Li Qian was the prince, he was only a second-rate warrior. He only relied on royal treasures to earn a living, and his combat effectiveness was not as good as that of a third-rate warrior.
If someone discovers that the prince has left the palace, and experts are deployed to ambush him, it will be a disaster.
"My Highness naturally has something important to do when he leaves the palace. This is the capital of Dongli State, and trouble can happen here. What use do you have?"
Li Qian's cold opening.
"I'm just telling you this, not to make you question my decision."
Hearing Li Qian's words, the maids on the side lowered their heads in fear and nodded respectfully.
This is the future king of the country. Although he has not yet ascended the throne, he already has a hint of magnanimity.
Seeing this, Li Qian nodded and softened his tone, "I understand your worries. Before going, you can explore the place in advance and make some arrangements. If you find anything wrong, please notify me in time."
With that said, he told the other party the address of Zhulin Xiaozhu.
Hearing this, these palace maids nodded and said, "I will send someone to arrange the arrangements right now."
Exploring the location in advance and setting up guards will be enough to prevent various dangers from happening. After all, this is the capital of the country, and where the master is stationed, nothing major will happen.
After saying that, they retreated and started setting up.
The first step is to find the small bamboo forest, explore everything within a few miles, and then arrange a large number of manpower to hide it.
Bamboo Forest Villa is a manor outside the city, on a hill, with a quiet surrounding environment. You can overlook the surrounding environment from the manor.
During the day, there are many people here, especially men and women, who like to chat, enjoy the scenery, play the piano and compose poems.
At this time, in the Luo family, Luo Lan also received a letter. Li Yue said in the letter that he wanted to meet someone at Zhulin Xiaozhu and hoped that she could come forward. He did not name who specifically, but said that she would know when she arrived.
The time was set half an hour earlier than the time when Li Qian was invited.
Luo Lan was a little confused when she received the letter. She wondered whether the little girl Li Yue had seen Hao Ren again and wanted to let her go to see him?
However, she did not doubt the authenticity of the letter. The next day, Luo Lan took people to the small bamboo forest outside the city. The place had been blocked by the guards in the palace. Along the way, not a single pedestrian was seen.
"Miss, something doesn't seem right here?"
Luo Lan's maid spoke warily.
"They are all from the palace. What are you afraid of? Li Yue should have arranged it. However, she doesn't want to return to the palace. What is she going to do?"
Luo Lan spoke slowly.
The guards in the dark also saw Luo Lan and the others, but did not make any move. When the palace maid saw Luo Lan, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes. No wonder the prince wanted to come out. It was Miss Luo who invited them.
There was still about an hour before the appointed time. The palace maid here spread the news to the palace. When she heard that Luo Lan had appeared, Li Qian also put down his last trace of wariness and boldly left the palace.
There was very little noise about his leaving the palace this time, and basically no one knew about it, but he couldn't hide it from the Lord Dongli. After casual inquiry, he found out the reason why the prince left the palace. He smiled softly and said, "It turns out it's for that little girl from the Luo family. , it’s better to let them cultivate their feelings on their own, so that I don’t have to step in to force the two of them into a couple and make the Luo family unhappy.”
He didn't pay attention to such small things.
Of course, the necessary preparations must also be made. "Assign a few more half-step masters to the guards around the prince."
"The prince has always been protected by at least two half-step masters. This time when he leaves the palace, he is surrounded by three half-step masters, which is enough to ensure safety."
In the darkness around him, a figure said calmly, "There is basically no need to worry about the Grandmaster near the capital, because that kind of existence can be easily discovered."
If something really happened, the three half-step masters would be able to resist a few attacks. During this time, the masters in the capital would be able to react and provide timely rescue.
Therefore, the leader of Dongli Kingdom was also relieved.
At this time, Hao Ren, the village chief and others had already left the city, taking Li Yue with him, and walked slowly towards the bamboo forest building.
"Look at the time, it's probably almost time."
Hao Ren laughed casually.
"The area around Zhulin Xiaozhu has been sealed off. The Luo family's girl has already gone up. It is estimated that the prince will arrive soon."
Mo Chen spoke calmly. He had just left to investigate and discovered the layout of the bamboo forest building.
Hearing this, Li Yue's face turned pale and she wanted to scold Hao Ren, but her mouth was sealed and she couldn't speak at all.
She was extremely panicked. If something happened to the prince, it would really be a disaster.
However, she knew that the prince was protected by experts, and Hao Ren and the others might not be able to subdue him easily. However, looking at the village chief and Mo Chen beside her, she felt a little frightened. She could not see clearly the details of these two people. She just felt that It's scary. If he is only a half-step master, then nothing will happen to the prince. If he is more than a half-step master, Li Yue shook his head, then this matter will be out of control.
