Li Ke's Chu King's Mansion is not far from the Eastern Palace. With Li Ke's footsteps, you can reach the Eastern Palace in less than a stick of incense, but the time Li Ke's people arrived at the Eastern Palace was very particular.

If Li Ke arrived early, he seemed to be well-informed and had ear cords in the East Palace, it would only make Li Shimin afraid. If he went too late, Li Chengqian was Li Ke's elder brother. Li Ke was not very concerned about how to make up the saying of deep brotherhood.

After Li Ke learned the news from Dan'er, he did not immediately rush to the East Palace, but changed into regular clothes and suppressed the time a little before he rushed to the East Palace. He was just after Li Chengqian's uncle Changsun Wuji, but before the ministers.

Before Li Ke arrived at Guangtian Hall, Li Shimin was still in the hall and had not left yet, but many people had gathered outside Guangtian Hall one after another.

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu is here to visit the prince." Li Ke arrived outside Guangtian Hall, and Li Shimin's close servant Chang Tu Jin's palace reported to Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian had not yet woken up. In order to avoid disturbing Li Chengqian, Li Shimin had the will to block everyone who came to visit the hall and was not allowed to enter. Even if Li Ke wanted to visit Li Chengqian, he needed to report it.

Li Shimin heard that Li Ke came to visit him and was waiting outside the hall, so he said, "Zhun Sanlang enters the hall."

"No." Chang Tu responded and went down to lead Li Ke into the hall.

"My son Li Ke pays homage to his father and the queen." Li Ke entered the hall, looked at Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sitting in the hall, and went forward to worship.

Li Shimin raised his hand and said to Li Ke: "Ke'er is interested, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Father." Li Ke responded and straightened up.

Li Ke stood up, approached a little, looked at Li Chengqian, who was lying on the bed, with a pale face, frowned slightly, and asked nervously at the imperial physician Li Lianxin who was waiting on the side, "Doctor Li, how is the injury of the emperor brother? Is there a serious injury?"

Li Lianxin replied truthfully: "The prince's life is fine. He has used needles and can wake up after a while, but the injury on his legs is really serious."

When Li Ke heard this, he learned that Li Chengqian's life was not hindered and breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he said with confidence: "It's good if your life is not hindered. If you take care of the injuries on your legs for a longer time, you can always recover it."

When Li Ke said that, the faces of the people in the hall were not relaxed at all, and Li Shimin still looked frowning.

Li Shimin sighed and replied, "If it is really like what Hutou said, just telling the prince to suffer, it will be cured. Li Lianxin has been treated just now, and the injury on the prince's leg will probably be difficult to heal."

When Li Ke heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that Li Chengqian's legs would break like this.

At this time, Li Ke also understood why Li Shimin was so frowning. As the crown prince and the crown prince of a country, Li Chengqian would ascend the throne in the future and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In front of all the people and the people of the world, his demeanor represented the Tang Dynasty. Now that Li Chengqian's leg is broken, if he cannot be cured, how can he rule the world in the future?

As for Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji's face was ugly and powerful.

In the past, when the prince was unethical, he could have been more disciplined as a reason for his youth. But now the prince's leg is injured, and there will be many inconveniences in movement from now on. Li Chengqian's already precarious position as the crown prince has added another layer of crisis, and this layer of crisis can never be erased.

However, Li Ke's reaction today was indeed beyond Changsun Wuji's expectations. Li Chengqian fell off his horse and his life was unpredictable. Li Ke should have been the one who benefited, but Li Ke seemed very worried about Li Chengqian's safety. After learning from Li Lian's heart that Li Chengqian's life was safe, he was obviously relieved.

Changsun Wuji knew countless people and claimed that he was a bit capable of a good person. He could not see that Li Ke's expression was as fake as he was. Instead, he seemed to care about Li Chengqian's life and death. This really made Changsun Wuji feel a little confused.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Ke standing aside, without saying a word, and felt a little more worried.

If Li Ke showed too much enthusiasm for Li Chengqian or ambition for the position of prince at this time, all this would have been expected by Changsun Wuji, and would not have made Changsun Wuji feel confused. But now Li Ke's face was calm and he did not say a word, so Changsun Wuji could not guess Li Ke's thoughts more and more.

Although I am still in the East Palace, the game in the court has quietly begun before I know it.

Li Ke stayed in Guangtian Palace for a stick of incense, but Li Chengqian still had no intention of awakening, which disturbed Li Chengqian's rest. According to the intention of the imperial physician, Li Lianxin, Li Shimin ordered everyone to withdraw from the palace one after another.

Li Ke had just left the Guangtian Palace and was about to leave, but he saw the King of Wei Li Tai who came out of the hall with him.

Li Tai walked to Li Ke, sighed leisurely, and said to Li Ke with regret: "The prince and the prince are in their prime, and they don't expect to encounter this disaster. They broke their legs. It's really a pity."

The most fiercer contestants of Li Shimin and the crown prince were Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li You. However, Li Ke was not as famous as the top three, so it was not worth worrying. Li Chengqian broke his leg and the position of the crown prince was naturally becoming more and more dangerous. It would be better if Li Tai didn't feel happy secretly, so how could he feel sorry for Li Chengqian?

However, Li Ke and Li Tai were in a similar situation, so they were too lazy to point out Li Tai. They just responded: "What Qingque said is that the emperor's brother was only sixteen years old and encountered this disaster, which was a big blow to him."

Li Tai glanced at Li Ke and asked, "After this, I don't know what the emperor's plan is?"

Li Ke heard this and paused a moment and asked, "What are the plans? What is the question of the Untold Qing Bird?"

Li Tai replied: "Since the incident of the emperor's brother going south, the prince suddenly changed this way, and I'm afraid the court will inevitably have variables. I can't say that the father and the emperor have any other things to use for the emperor's brother."

After hearing Li Tai's words, Li Ke immediately understood. Li Tai was not asking Li Ke about his arrangements for going south, but clearly testing Li Ke.

If Li Ke delayed his journey south due to Li Chengqian's injury, then Li Ke would naturally be ready to act as the crown prince.

The prince lost his morality and then became disabled and lost his etiquette. Many people in the court were probably wondering how long Li Chengqian could sit as the prince. Li Tai was thinking about it, which was naturally reasonable.

But how could Li Ke tell him to see the clues? Li Ke replied calmly: "I should follow my father's arrangements when going south. Although I am concerned about the safety of my brother, I am responsible for the heavy responsibility and cannot be delayed at will. After the first month of the year, I should go south."

Li Tai heard Li Ke going south as scheduled, and vaguely understood what Li Ke meant, and bowed to Li Ke and said, "If there is anything you need to help me in the court, the emperor just speaks, and I will not refuse."
