Li Xiu came to the East Palace to see Li Chengqian, but he didn't expect that he was blocked outside the hall by an eunuch. This made him stunned. Then he stared at the other party with a somewhat unnatural expression and said, "The prince said he wouldn't even see me?"

"This..." Faced with Li Xiu's questioning, the eunuch who stopped him could not help but show a nervous expression. After all, he knew Li Xiu's identity better than anyone else. If this Duke really blamed him, he might not be able to afford it. However, thinking of Li Chengqian's previous instructions, he could only grit his teeth and said, "Please ask Duke not to make things difficult for me!"

Seeing the embarrassing expression when the eunuch was not speaking, Li Xiu had already known the answer, and his face darkened when he heard the other party's words. However, he did not get angry on the spot. Instead, he was silent for a moment before speaking: "I can't see the prince, but don't forget to inform him that the queen's spiritual period is not over now, and as the prince, he should not leave the Spirit Hall for a long time!"

After saying that, Li Xiu turned around and left. Since Li Chengqian was unwilling to see him, he naturally would not force him. However, when it comes to the relationship between teachers and students, he still reminded the other party, so as not to make any mistakes Li Chengqian would make again, which would arouse Li Shimin's disgust.

Li Xiu got on the carriage and ordered the coachman to go back to the financial supervision department. However, just as his carriage left, he accidentally saw a carriage parked at the palace gate of the East Palace. He didn't pay attention when he came in just now, and seeing the coachman in the carriage looking drowsy, the carriage must have been parked here for a long time.

Seeing the carriage outside the palace gate, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel moved. Since there was a carriage waiting outside the palace gate, it means that the owner of the carriage must be inside. However, Li Chengqian didn't even see him, but he saw the owner of the carriage. So who is the owner of the carriage?

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but turn his head and look at the carriage outside the window again. Unfortunately, the carriage did not have any obvious marks, and it was impossible to tell whose carriage it was. This made Li Xiu even more confused. He even wanted to send someone to stay here to see who the other party was?

However, the above thought flashed in Li Xiu's heart, and he immediately gave up. Once this came, it was the gate of the East Palace, and there were guards everywhere. Li Chengqian would inevitably find out who he left behind. At that time, it would only create a greater gap between their teachers and students. In addition, doing so would not be in line with Li Xiu's personality.

Just after Li Xiu's carriage left, the eunuch guarding the gate immediately rushed to Li Chengqian's hospitality hall to report: "You have reported to the prince, Duke Yan has just come to pay a visit, but because you said that you would not see anyone, I dared to stop him. Now the duke has left!"

When Li Chengqian in the hall heard the news that Li Xiu had been here, he couldn't help but show a complicated look on his face. After a while, he waved his hand powerlessly: "You've done a good job, go down!"

"Here!" After receiving the praise from Li Chengqian, the eunuch couldn't help but show an excited expression. He agreed to slowly withdraw from the hall. However, just as he was about to withdraw, he suddenly thought of what Li Xiu said when he left, so he stopped again and said, "Report to the prince, the Duke of the State has asked you to tell you that the queen's spiritual period is not over, so I hope you don't leave for too long."

When Li Chengqian heard the words conveyed by the eunuch, he couldn't help but be stunned. The expression on his face became more complicated, and there seemed to be no focal distance in his eyes. He sat there blankly. After a while, he waved his hand powerlessly and signaled the eunuch to retreat, but he didn't speak again for a long time.

"The prince actually doesn't have to block the prince's consort outside the door. He must be clearer about that matter than anyone else. If the prince lets him in, he can definitely find out what's going on from him." At this moment, suddenly, a man in the hall spoke slowly.

The person who spoke was pale and had a clear and ancient appearance. He was Cui Gan, who was once ranked first in the clan. In addition to him, there were two others next to him, Zheng Zhong and Cui Fu'an, who had been with him for this period of time.

"No need, I naturally have my own way to find out what you want to know!" Li Chengqian finally woke up from his thoughts at this time, and glanced at Cui Gandao indifferently. He was in a very complicated mood now, and he didn't dare or wanted to see Li Xiu.

"Haha, since the prince is so confident, the old minister will be relieved. It's getting late now, so the old minister and others will take their leave. In the future, we will follow the prince's leader and will never break today's promise!" Cui Gan was also an old fox. At this time, he seemed to see that Li Chengqian was in a bad mood, and he stood up and said goodbye with great awareness.

"Well, I feel relieved with Mr. Cui's words. I will notify you of the news I found tomorrow before noon!" Li Chengqian immediately came back to his senses and said, then stood up and sent Cui Gan and others outside the hall himself.

Cui Gan and others left the East Palace and then boarded the carriage. At this moment, Cui Fu'an, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Mr. Cui, do you think the prince will be in the same position as us?"

"Hehe, the prince will definitely not be on the same side as us, but sometimes, he will be unable to help." As soon as Cui Fu'an finished speaking, Zheng Zhong smiled strangely, and looked at Cui Gan specifically when he spoke. He did not expect Cui Gan to contact Li Chengqian, which suddenly gave them a little hope of turning the tables.

"Xingmou is right. When the prince ascended the throne in the future, he will definitely conflict with the interests of our aristocratic families. However, before that, he must ascend to the throne. Although he is the crown prince now, the King of Wei has always been unwilling to give up, so his position as the crown prince is not stable, so he urgently needs the support of our aristocratic families, and he will definitely not refuse our request." Cui Gan also smiled proudly at this time.

"It's better that Mr. Cui has a long-term vision!" Zheng Zhong also looked at Cui Gandao with great admiration. Although he was also a very conceited person before, he was convinced by Cui Gan's ability.

"Mr. Cui is indeed amazing, but what I can't understand is that the prince is supported by Changsun Wuji and Li Xiu. As His Majesty, they have arms, even the King of Wei may not be able to shake his position. But why do I think he seems to be intentionally alienating Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji and the others?" Cui Fu'an first praised Cui Gan, and then asked in confusion.

"Hehe, Fu'an, you're only half of the words. The prince did intentionally alienate Li Xiu. The reason was very tortuous, but Changsun Wuji was just the opposite. In fact, Changsun Wuji is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He probably has other plans now." Cui Gan sneered at this time. When he spoke at the end, he couldn't help but frown. Compared to Li Xiu, Changsun Wuji made him feel more afraid.
