Zhu Danchen saw his worry, smiled, and said: "Prince, do not worry, this subordinate will definitely do his best to protect you, you can rest assured."
Li Qiang replied: "I'm relieved, but it's strange. When Duan Zhengchun died, didn't you guys also stay by his side? If he's fine, then why would I be here?"
The four people's faces flushed red. Gu Ducheng said: "Although this new prince's words are sharp and unkind, but his words are not sloppy. We truly did not protect him well at that time, which was why the thieves took advantage of the loopholes. As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, appearing extremely regretful.
The others all came to console him, and Fu Sigui said: "If it's really as Your Highness said, then that person is Duan Yanqing. We have to be even more careful, he knows Dali's environment like the palm of his hand, and he is even more familiar with the palace as though it's his own backyard.
His words resonated with those of the others. Chu Wanli said, "Your words are very reliable. If Duan Yanqing were to come to Dali City, we would be in big trouble."
Zhu Danchen said: "Don't panic yet, with Duan Yanqing's methods of assassinating the Duke, he has the ability to come to the Imperial Palace and cause trouble. But after so many years without any movement, it means that he is still at the stage of patience, and won't take the risk.
When he said this, everyone else nodded in agreement.
Li Qiang looked down upon this group of fence-sitters. was the leader of this group anyway, so no matter what he said, the others would just agree with him.
After returning to the Imperial Palace, Zhu Danchen said to Li Qiang in a low voice: "The Emperor has a lot of government affairs, we don't need to report what happened just now to him, Your Highness, what do you think?"
Li Qiang said: This kind of thing doesn't need to alarm the emperor, I would understand even if you didn't say it. But you guys should hurry up and teach me martial arts, when my body is better, you guys must come and help me, understand?
Although they knew that Li Qiang was just an imposter, for the current situation, if they did not view this kid in front of them as the real deal, how could the others be willing to believe? From the bottom of his heart to the surface, he had to put on an act and truly treat this person in front of him as the real King of the Southern Mountains, Duan Zhengchun!
Li Qiang had just crept back to his residence, and upon entering, someone shouted from inside: "It's so late, where did you go?"
He was shocked when he saw the beautiful woman sitting on the bed under the red candle light. It was the Queen Gao Youxue.
Li Qiang heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed: "I met a friend, so I went out to relax, don't worry royal sister-in-law."
Gao Youxue stood up, with a face as cold as ice, and said: "In order to save you, the emperor gave you the Xue Shan Yu Chan Wan, you know, even he himself was injured internally, and was unwilling to use it, I had originally hoped that after you took that medicine and rested properly, yet you still went out to fool around with others and did not care about your own body, what can I say about you?!"
When Li Qiang heard this, his gaze was fixated on the beauty in front of him, as if he could see through her clothes. His eyes were filled with desire, it seemed that the snake wine that A Luo gave him on the kayak had an aphrodisiac effect. The great thing about this game was that everything was just like the real thing, so the feeling of drinking strong alcohol was also very real.
Gao Youxue chattered on for a long time before suddenly realizing something was wrong with Li Qiang's eyes. She was both embarrassed and angry as she said, "Chundi, what's wrong with you, you're talking to you properly, yet you're looking at me like this. Don't tell me you've forgotten that I'm your sister-in-law?!"
Seeing her coquettish and angry face, Li Qiang's heart had long been itching for action. He stepped forward to hold her delicate hand, and said with a trembling voice: "Sister-in-law, I, I …"
Gao Youxue's heart was thumping hard, she didn't know what to do, and two red clouds rose on her pretty face.
The lonely and lonely her remembered that she still had a younger uncle that she needed to take care of, so she went to Li Qiang's room. But when she found out that she had missed out and received the question from the palace guards, she found out that Zhennan Wang had gone out with a beautiful girl to play. She was immediately furious, and sat on the bed sulking, and seeing that Duan Zhengchun had returned, she naturally scolded him.
However, when Li Qiang grabbed her hand and was about to say something to her, she actually shrank back. All he could think about was the Empress's responsibilities and his wife's obligations, so he flung Li Qiang's hand away and said fiercely, "Don't forget, I am your royal sister-in-law! "Stop messing around!" Saying so, he lowered his head and walked out.
Li Qiang laid on the bed in a daze, thinking about what had happened. The two female friends, A Luo and Gao Youxue, had their own feelings, which could enchant a man to death, but when they first wanted to get close to them, they couldn't help but feel like it.
He was getting into the act!
