Du Qi continued, "Your Highness, you must be having a hard time holding it in now. You must want to kill me. You have a thousand or ten thousand ideas to kill me. In fact, Your Highness can do it. Anyway, you are His Majesty's son and the crown prince. His Majesty won't really kill you after killing me. So, Your Highness, do it quickly. "
He provoked Li Jiancheng.
Du Qi didn't have a good impression of Li Jiancheng. He was too narrow-minded.
Li Jiancheng had clenched his fists.
Even though the wind was biting cold, Li Jiancheng seemed to feel nothing. He only felt incomparable anger in his heart. Li Jiancheng was like a volcano about to erupt and was about to be ignited.
Du Qi's eyes flashed and he continued, "Li Jiancheng, are you still a man? If you're a man, then don't let yourself be wronged. Don't be so timid. If I were you, I would have done it long ago. Alas, as the crown prince of the Tang dynasty, you are not like a man. I am worried about you. "
"Du Qi, you are courting death!"
Li Jiancheng couldn't bear it anymore. His hand grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist. With a clang, the long sword was unsheathed. The sharp tip of the sword was already aimed at Du Qi. Li Jiancheng's eyes were full of killing intent. He was really going to do it.
"Your Highness, you can't!"
At this moment, Wei Zheng rushed over.
Wei Zheng had actually left before, but he thought that he still had something to discuss with Li Jiancheng, so he came back at this time and happened to see Li Jiancheng draw his sword against Du Qi.
Wei Zheng hurriedly stood in front of Li Jiancheng and reminded him, "Your Highness, this is the imperial city. His Majesty will know anything that happens."
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, he bullied me too much. Today, I swear I will kill him. "
"Come on, come on!"
Du Qi chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you are the king and I am the subject. If the king wants the subject to die, the subject has to die. I will stand here and allow Your Highness to kill me. "
When Wei Zheng heard Du Qi's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, you've schemed against His Highness the Crown Prince and provoked him like this. It's all because you want to scheme against His Highness the Crown Prince again in the capital and have His Majesty deal with him personally. Your thoughts have already been seen through. Shut up! "
"Men, take the Crown Prince away."
Wei Zheng was also worried that Li Jiancheng would really lose control, so he quickly gave the order. Once Li Jiancheng wanted to kill Du Qi, Wei Zheng was certain that he would not be able to kill Du Qi. Instead, Li Yuan would find out.
Du Qi chuckled and said, "Oh, looks like there's someone who understands the situation. Wei Xima, it's not that I want to criticize you, but if I were you, I would have resigned from the Eastern Palace long ago. "
"To meet such a self-righteous and impulsive Crown Prince, it's hard to say. If you serve the Crown Prince, sooner or later it will be like drawing water with a bamboo basket. You won't be able to accomplish anything. "
"With your wisdom, it's actually better for you to assist someone else."
Du Qi said, "Sigh, there are good things to do, but you insist on assisting Li Jiancheng. You're really blind."
Wei Zheng said coldly, "That's my business. It has nothing to do with you."
While speaking, Wei Zheng saw that Li Jiancheng's accompanying guards did not move. He gave the order in a deep voice, "What are you still standing there for? Everyone is dead, right? Come, take the Crown Prince away. "
"No need. I'll leave on my own."
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Jiancheng calmed down. What he did just now was indeed because he was blinded by anger and was prepared to make a move on Du Qi.
Li Jiancheng was clear that Du Qi, this brat, was extremely crafty. He had always planned before taking action. It was impossible to kill Du Qi. At most, he would injure Du Qi. However, in the end, Du Qi would be injured in exchange for Li Yuan to deal with him, Li Jiancheng.
This was not worth it.
If this kind of thing happened a few more times, Li Jiancheng's position as Crown Prince might really change hands.
"Let's go!"
Li Jiancheng gave the order and boarded the carriage.
Du Qi watched the people from the Eastern Palace leave and laughed softly. What a pity. If Li Jiancheng made a move on him, then this time, it would definitely make Li Yuan furious. Even if it could not shake Li Jiancheng's position as Crown Prince, at least the Eastern Palace would be reprimanded.
Du Qi actually had the Golden Silk Soft Armor under his clothes. It was to protect Du Qi.
Li Jiancheng was not a true martial artist. Even if he stabbed with his sword, the power would not be too great. With the protection of the Golden Silk Soft Armor, Du Qi would at most be slightly injured. Therefore, Du Qi was not afraid.
Liu Jian walked over and said, "Young Master, let's go."
Du Qi nodded and boarded the carriage to return.
On the other side, Li Jiancheng left the Imperial City and quickly returned to the Eastern Palace. Li Jiancheng's face was full of anger. He cursed and vented again. After Li Jiancheng finished, the anger in his heart calmed down slightly.
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, what's with the down jacket? Why does even Father have a down jacket? "
In fact, Wei Zheng also bought one, but he did not wear it. When he heard Li Jiancheng's words, he said respectfully, "Reporting to Your Highness, this down jacket was invented by Du Qi. His Majesty inscribed 'Number One Under Heaven' for Du Qi. Now, the down jacket is sold in Yongxing City."
Li Jiancheng said, "Why didn't I know about this?"
Wei Zheng said, "Du Qi's business dealings are nothing out of the ordinary, so this subject did not report it. Moreover, this matter is known by many people. I thought Your Highness would know. "
After a pause, Wei Zheng said, "I have failed in my duty. Your Highness, please punish me."
Li Jiancheng waved his hand and sighed, "Why should I punish you? How can this matter be blamed on you? Sigh, I can only blame myself for being soft-hearted. If I listened to you, I would have executed Du Qi. Today's mess would not have happened. I did not expect Wang Xuandao to step in and target Du Chuke. In the end, Du Qi was implicated, and it was Du Qi who defended himself. "
Wei Zheng said seriously, "Your Highness, I have carefully considered the matter of Wang Xuandao's memorial. Du Qi and Du Qi have communicated with each other, and Du Qi came prepared. Everything was well prepared. "
"That is why this subject believes that Du Qi was prepared from the very beginning."
"As soon as we received the news, we hurriedly arranged for Wang Xuandao to take action. Therefore, we fell into his trap, which made Du Chuke famous and left an impression on His Majesty. It also allowed Du Qi to display his methods in front of all the officials of the imperial court. "
Wei Zheng said, "After this matter, I'm afraid that no one will dare to go against Du Qi."
Li Jiancheng snorted and said, "Xuancheng, anyone can tell that your analysis is right. It's useless to say these things now. Now that He Mengyao and He Guocheng have failed, and Wang Xuandao has been removed from his position, everything is not in our favor! This is really an eventful period. "
Wei Zheng said, "At this time, we can only keep a low profile."
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "For now, we will not make an enemy of Du Qi. Let Du Qi be arrogant for a while."
Wei Zheng said, "Your Highness is wise!"
At this moment, Wei Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because the Crown Prince Residence had always been enemies with Du Qi and had always been targeted, this was extremely disadvantageous. Now that Li Jiancheng did not make an enemy of Du Qi, he could start to develop in peace.
