I, the crown prince, resign [Transmigration Book]

The matter of the imperial examination and the provincial examination finally came to an end. Although E Yangxu could not be saved in the end, the matter was finally resolved.

Back in the bedroom, Li Jinghuan copied two Buddhist scriptures and secretly burned them. This was the last thing he could do for this honest and clear man.

When he was copying Buddhism, Fuzhu suddenly broke in, saying that it was Zhan Chong who asked to see him.

Li Jinghuan was a little confused. Since he stopped going to the study room to attend classes, he had rarely heard this name. He thought that the two of them would never meet again, but he didn't expect Zhan Chong to come to him on his own initiative today. He suddenly felt a sense of unreality like a dream.

A few years have passed, and Zhan Chong has also turned twenty, and there is no trace of his childhood on his face anymore. The modesty and gentleness he once had has long been replaced by indifference and sternness. Cold and gloomy, with an aura of repelling others thousands of miles away, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and the moment he saw Li Jinghuan, he slightly raised his lips.

With this smile, the awe-inspiring chill all over his body dissipated, like melting ice and snow.

"Your Highness," Zhan Chong knelt in front of Li Jinghuan, his familiar voice seemed to be a little hoarse, his eyes were deep, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Your Highness?"

Li Jinghuan's lips moved, hesitantly said: "Everything is fine, Zhan...General Zhan Chong has nothing to worry about."

Zhan Chong had followed his father to the battlefield some time ago, and was named a general by the emperor.Hearing that Li Jinghuan stopped calling him brother Zhanchong, he didn't say anything, his expression didn't change much, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head slightly, glanced at Li Jinghuan and said: "Long time no see, Your Highness is steady A lot."

Li Jinghuan was also a little embarrassed. He had struggled with this title for a long time just now. After all, he was married now, and he was considered an adult. It would be outrageous to call him brother Zhan Chong.Although because of Zhan Qing's relationship, it seems so reasonable for him to call this name at this time.

Zhan Chong's sudden visit caught him off guard. He felt that Zhan Chong's attitude towards him was still the same as when he was a child, but now he didn't know what attitude he should use to treat Zhan Chong.

Continue to please?No, it's too flattering, it's degrading my identity!

neither cold nor hot?It doesn't work either, the previous favorability was wiped out soon.

Li Jinghuan couldn't think of an answer for the time being, so he planned to take one step at a time.

"You are welcome, General." Li Jinghuan helped him up, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhan Chong pursed his lips and said nothing, but looked at Li Jinghuan deeply with his eyes, until Li Jinghuan felt uncomfortable under his gaze, Zhan Chong smiled slightly and said: "I have some things to discuss with Your Highness, but I don't want to discuss it with you here." It's very convenient. I just heard that there will be a lantern festival on Chang'an Street today, if His Highness doesn't mind, I would like to go out of the palace with His Highness to talk."

Li Jinghuan always thinks that Zhan Chong's attitude towards him is weird, it's the kind of attitude that says he likes it or not, hates it or hates it, especially in these few words, there is a very ambiguous feeling, tsk tsk tsk, gay in gay of.

After hesitating for a while, Li Jinghuan still agreed: "Okay, wait for Gu to change into casual clothes."

Since they are traveling in casual clothes, it is naturally inconvenient to bring more guards.Li Jinghuan originally planned to only bring talismans and two or three guards, but Zhan Chong said that it was inconvenient for others to talk, and asked the two to travel alone.

When Li Jinghuan heard him make this request, he looked at him vigilantly. Didn't this guy want to take the opportunity to assassinate him?

Zhan Chong hooked the corners of his lips, "Your Highness, don't worry too much, I don't have the guts to assassinate the Crown Prince."

Tsk, that's what he said, he would have already killed himself if he wanted to, so why wait until today.

The two rode to the east of the city. The streets and alleys were covered with various lanterns, and the night was as bright as day. There was an endless stream of tourists coming and going.Zhan Chong dismounted first, followed by Li Jinghuan, and the two walked forward.

Li Jinghuan was not interested in lanterns, and his eyes circled around the various food stalls on the side of the road.

Zhan Chong kept silent all the way, and led Li Jinghuan straight to a restaurant. The second waiter warmly greeted them when he saw them, "You two guests, please come inside."

Zhan Chong threw him two ingots of silver, "A private room."

"Okay!" Xiao Er shook the rag and led the two of them to the private room on the second floor.

After entering the private room, Xiao Er approached Li Jinghuan courteously, "What would you like, sir?" The two guests were luxuriously dressed and handsome, and they seemed to be brothers from rich families who were traveling.The one on the left looks older and should be the elder brother, but his eyes never leave his younger brother, it seems that the younger brother is the one who makes up his mind.

Li Jinghuan glanced left and right, looked up at the menu, and said to Xiao Er: "If you have any signature dishes, please serve some."

"Come on!" Xiao Er yelled and backed out.

After Xiao Er left, Zhan Chong only drank tea with his eyes downcast, without saying a word.

Li Jinghuan didn't know why, so he waited for a long time and didn't see him speak. He was a little flustered, and after sitting for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what General Zhan Chong wants to say to Gu?"

Zhan Chong raised his eyelids, opened his lips and said softly: "Your Highness is close to the fourth prince, you should know that the imperial concubine is not in good health, and she seems to be sick again recently."

Li Jinghuan's eyes suddenly tightened. Indeed, Concubine Zheng Gui had been in the palace for many years, and he also knew that she had been in poor health. According to the plot in the book, Concubine Zheng died when Li Jingyu was 15 years old. When Li Jingyu came to see him a few days ago, he mentioned the concubine's illness. Calculating the time, the time is about the same now.

Perhaps because of Li Jingyu's relationship, and the fact that the imperial concubine has always treated him very well, he still felt a little sad in his heart, but the sorrow was not strong or light, it was just a kind of extremely shallow compassion.

He couldn't help lowering his eyes, looking at the table and muttering: "Yes, a few days ago..."

Zhan Chong is also looking down at the Crown Prince who has been with him for many years. Actually, for him, Li Jinghuan has almost no place in his heart. If it takes a while, he may even forget what Li Jinghuan looks like. If Zhan Qing hadn't married the Crown Prince later, and his father often mentioned it in his ear, Zhan Chong would never have given Li Jinghuan any place in his mind.

When we met again, the stupid child in my memory had grown into a handsome young man, with picturesque eyebrows, a face like a jade crown, those clear peach blossom eyes were still the same as he remembered, and hadn't changed a bit, and his Stupid kindness with nowhere to rest.Even after hearing the news of Concubine Zheng's illness, she would still show such compassion in her eyes, really...

Zhan Chong's eyes darkened, and he handed Li Jinghuan a cup of brewed hot tea.

Li Jinghuan took the teacup he gave him and took a sip, remaining silent.

Zhan Chong snorted lightly, looked straight into his eyes, and said clearly and slowly: "If the imperial concubine dies of illness, the emperor will be hit hard, and maybe he will give the imperial concubine an imperial concubine or empress or something." Maybe, when the time comes, the status of the Fourth Prince will be different from what it used to be, His Highness should make a plan earlier."

Afterwards, Zhan Chong was satisfied to see the boy's eyes wide open, and asked himself incredulously, "What did you say?"

"I said," Zhan Chong repeated, "Your Highness should make preparations early."

Li Jinghuan frowned, "What do you mean? What do you have to prepare for?"

"The emperor really has a deep affection for the deceased empress, but he also has a deep affection for Concubine Zheng. If Concubine Zheng really goes, the emperor will be sad for a while," Zhan Chong said in a calm tone, "What's more, the living are always more important than the dead. No matter how much the emperor misses the former empress, it is more important for Concubine Zheng to be alive, isn't it? At that time, the fourth prince will be regarded as half a son, and his status is probably worse than that of His Highness. Not much..."

"So what?" Li Jinghuan interrupted Zhan Chong, he didn't want to hear what Zhan Chong said to him anymore, "Even if the fourth brother becomes what you call half a legitimate son, we are still brothers."

"Your Highness," Zhan Chong put down his teacup, walked over to Li Jinghuan, and put a hand on his shoulder, "I am very grateful to His Highness for taking care of you in the upper study all these years. As long as His Highness says a word, Zhan Chong is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness. "

"Go through fire and water?" Li Jinghuan was laughed at by Zhan Chongqi, and said with a cold snort: "Is there any place that requires you to go through fire and water?"

Zhan Chong raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that His Highness really has no defense against these brothers of yours?"

"No." Li Jinghuan answered him firmly without any hesitation.

Zhan Chong looked back and forth on Li Jinghuan with inquiring eyes, trying to see some traces of concealment and lying in his eyes, but Zhan Chong didn't see anything.

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes are clean, clear and clear, full of sincerity.Either Li Jinghuan's acting skills are so superb that even he can fool him, or he really has no intentions... No, Zhan Chong smiled, no one in this world can fool him.

He didn't believe that there would really be someone in this royal family who was so sincere and harmless, without any scheming.

So he sat back on his seat and poured a new cup of tea for Li Jinghuan with the teapot, "Your Highness, I was wrong and misunderstood His Highness's thoughts. But I also think about Your Highness. My younger sister married His Highness as a concubine. You and I Now it can be regarded as a grasshopper on a rope. Naturally, the minister will not harm His Highness. Even if His Highness has no grudges against the Fourth Prince, others don't think so, especially His Highness's uncle Gong Huangchen, who is already dissatisfied with the Fourth Prince. It's been a long time."

Perhaps because of the temptation just now, Zhan Chong spoke more bluntly, "Although Your Highness is accompanied by the Emperor's grace, once you lose your Sacred Heart and you don't have the support of your mother and concubine, you can only rely on Lord Gong Huangchen." Isn't it? Oh, of course, my sister Zhan Qing is His Highness's concubine, and I, Fuyuan General's Mansion, are naturally on His Highness's side."

When he said the last sentence, Zhan Chong paused for a moment before finishing, "However, although we will all support His Highness, His Highness has to make some preparations for himself."

Li Jinghuan lowered his head and did not speak. Zhan Chong's eyes dimmed when he saw this, and he patted Li Jinghuan's shoulder lightly. His voice was soft and slow, full of bewitching meaning, "If your highness changes his mind in the future, you can Come to find me again, I will never change my heart as His Highness."
