After Sun Mingyue left, Chu Li also left the deserted helm and returned to Prince An's Mansion.
Under the moonlight, Prince An's Mansion was silent. Even though the night was still light, the people in the mansion had already rested.
Sitting in his courtyard, Chu Li felt that the aura of Prince An's Mansion was different.
The people in the mansion seemed to have lost their energy and were listless, just living in a muddle day after day, without hope.
A palace without a male master is doomed to decline and has no hope of rising, so people cannot get motivated.
Chu Li shook his head, unable to do anything in the face of such a situation.
Even if he is extremely capable, he cannot take the place of Prince An, compete in the court, elevate the status of Prince An's palace, and make it a potential residence.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi were chatting in Tianshu Courtyard, and Chu Li went over to sit next to them.
The faces of the two women are as beautiful as jade, and their bright eyes shine like gems under the light.
Xiao Shi said: "There is news from Xu'an. He wants to come back and stay for a while."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Shi said: "I didn't persuade him much, it was his own idea."
Chu Li looked at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi nodded and said: "Second sister just greeted him simply and didn't persuade him much."
"Jingji is restless and suddenly wants to come back?" Chu Li frowned.
Xiao Qi said: "He came out of seclusion and has just achieved supernatural powers. If he wants to go further, he must practice in the mortal world and polish his Buddhist heart. Returning to Prince An's Mansion to be the young prince is an excellent opportunity to practice."
"This is a good idea. If you want to become a Buddha, you must first experience the world of mortals. If you don't experience the mortal world, how can you survive the mortal world." Xiao Shi said with a smile: "I guess he will come here soon."
Chu Li sighed: "The palace has become troubled from now on."
"It's not that serious." Xiao Shi said with a smile, "He is still a child."
"He is a Buddhist son." Chu Li said angrily: "Who would despise a Buddhist son? If he becomes the prince, it will be of great benefit to the Daji royal family."
"If this happens, the prince will not be able to sit still." Xiao Qi said lightly: "I will definitely find a way to stop it."
"Going to assassinate Xu'an?" Xiao Shi frowned and said, "Do they dare to offend the Vajra Temple?"
Chu Li said: "With the emperor here, the prince is very courageous, and Jingang Temple does not dare to kill the prince, so he can do whatever he wants... Is Xu'an leaving now?"
"He should have already set off." Xiao Shi nodded and said, "But he shouldn't have gone very far. Since he is going out for a trip, he will not be in a hurry. He must be strolling here bit by bit."
Xiao Qi said: "You want to send someone over to protect Xu An?"
Chu Li nodded slowly: "I'll go there myself."
"That's fine." Xiao Qi said, "But don't worry too much. No one knows about Xu'an leaving the temple and coming here. There can't be a traitor in Jingang Temple, so the prince will not get the news."
Chu Li shook his head: "Then you are looking down on Lu Yurong!"
Xiao Qi frowned and looked at him, her eyes flashing.
Chu Li said: "I guess she will send people to guard the Vajra Temple all the time. They will know once Xu'an comes out. Now she is probably thinking about how to deal with Xu'an, or scare him back to the Vajra Temple, or prevent him from coming to the palace. "
"Well, it's possible." Xiao Shi nodded.
Xiao Qi also remained silent.
They have all experienced the power of Lu Yurong. The former Duke Yiguo was beaten to a pulp by her and suppressed in every way.
Xiao Qi said calmly: "Then how do you crack her tricks? You can't force yourself and fall out with her, right?"
Xiao Shi pursed her lips and smiled: "I think he is reluctant to fall out with Lu Yurong."
Chu Li looked at her helplessly, which added fuel to the fire.
"The soldiers are here to block the water and flood the soil." Chu Li sighed: "Take Xu'an over first, and then talk about other things. Once Xu'an enters the city of God, it will be much easier to handle. They will also use rat-like weapons and don't dare to go too far. .”
"Is it possible that I have to be beaten all the time?" Xiao Shi snorted and said, "Can't we strike first?"
Chu Li said: "That's an idea."
"Hurry up and say it!" Xiao Shi snorted: "Don't be shy just because of Lu Yurong. Your lover may not appreciate it!"
Chu Li sighed and said, "Please make an order from the emperor to let the people from the Secret Guard Mansion protect Xu'an."
"That's a good idea." Xiao Shi laughed.
Xiao Qi said lightly: "We may not be able to stop Lu Yurong from attacking."
Chu Li said: "As long as she can make her have some concerns, she will not take action until the last moment. After all, the crown prince's position is still stable, so she will not take risks. The Vajra Temple is not an ordinary sect."
"That's true." Xiao Shi nodded lightly: "That's good, but she will definitely make trouble, lay an ambush, and kill her with one blow at the critical moment!"
Chu Li nodded and said: "I will be careful about this."
"When Xu'an comes, our house will be a little more lively." Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "I've been sick for a long time, and I'm annoyed when I see the servants outside. They're all listless!"
"It'll be fine after a while," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li nodded: "I don't know how long Xu'an will stay here."
"Listen to what he wants, it might be a while." Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "He is here to practice. He doesn't seem to be interested in anything else."
Xiao Qi said: "Don't force him."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Xiao Shi said with a smile: "If Xu An really wants to be the emperor, it will not be easy. He has no foundation in the court and there is no way he can succeed. It is better to just be a prince honestly."
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
He sat with the two women for a while, then returned to his small courtyard alone, while Xiao Shi and Xiao Qi continued to talk.
Chu Li extinguished the lamp and sat quietly in the small courtyard, bathing in the moonlight.
The moonlight was cold and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.
A white shadow flashed past, and Lu Yurong fell lightly in front of him. She was dressed in white clothes and looked like a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world under the moonlight. Her beautiful face was covered by white gauze, revealing only a pair of bright eyes like water.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yurong.
6 Yurong sat elegantly opposite him, picked up the teapot on the stone table and poured herself a cup of tea: "Where have you been these days?"
"I just came out of seclusion," Chu Li said.
6 Yu Rong frowned and looked at him and said, "I heard the news that you were killed by Sun Mingyue."
Chu Li smiled.
6 Yu Rong said: "Are you going to mess with Sun Mingyue?"
"It was she who killed me." Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "But I was lucky enough to save my life, so I could only retreat to heal my wounds. Fortunately, I was a blessing in disguise and made great progress."
Lu Yurong looked him up and down and nodded gently.
She also felt that Chu Li's aura was as vast and majestic as a mountain or a sea, almost overwhelming her.
"It seems that Sun Mingyue is in a hurry. You have killed too many disciples of the Holy Sect of Light." Lu Yurong shook her head and said, "I have to be careful too."
Chu Li nodded slowly: "It's best to be careful. The Holy Sect of Light is not that easy to deal with... How did you know I was back?"
"What do you think?" Lu Yurong smiled half-heartedly.
Chu Li frowned and stared at her.
Logically speaking, no one else knew about his return, so it shouldn't be the work of a traitor.
