The most direct reason why Li Xiu chose to resign and stay away from the court was that his relationship with Li Chengqian broke down. He didn't want to watch Li Chengqian step by step into the abyss, so he chose to stay away. However, when things really came, Li Xiu found that he still couldn't stay out of it.

"Husband, are the rumors outside true? Cheng Qian..." Just as Li Xiu was about to turn over and rush to the palace, Princess Pingyang quickly walked out of the inner house and asked, her face full of anxiety.

"Yes, Cheng Qian was preparing to assassinate His Majesty last night and now he has been arrested by His Majesty." Li Xiu let go of the saddle and sighed. He didn't want Princess Pingyang to know about this too early, but now it seems that she has heard of it. It is probably because the servants in the family heard the rumors, so they immediately reported it to her.

"Chengqian... Why is he so confused!" Princess Pingyang also showed a heartbroken expression when she heard Li Xiu's words, and then looked up again and said, "Husband is going to enter the palace? I'll go with you!"

Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang have been married for many years, so they naturally know what she was thinking and what she wanted to enter the palace. So he smiled calmly and said, "Xiu Ning, don't worry, although Cheng Qian caused a great disaster this time, His Majesty, as a father, shouldn't really do anything to him. Didn't the King of Qi be temporarily imprisoned in the palace before, let alone the prince?"

Princess Pingyang wanted to enter the palace, mainly because she wanted to save Li Chengqian's life. Otherwise, she would not want to meet Li Shimin. However, when she heard Li Xiu's words, she finally felt relieved. However, she finally asked: "Are you sure, husband? Is Chengqian really okay?"

"After such a big incident, Chengqian's position as crown prince will definitely not be able to be saved. However, with His Majesty's favor for him, at most he would demote him to a commoner. However, I am worried that His Majesty's successive blows would make him unable to bear it!" Li Xiu said at the end, and couldn't help but sigh. First, Li You rebelled first, and then involved Li Chengqian's choice case, which was a devastating blow to any father.

"This is his retribution..." Since the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Princess Pingyang hated Li Shimin very much, but when she said the word "retribution", she could not say it, but she burst into tears. After all, no matter how much she said, Li Shimin is also the younger brother of her mother. Although she hated him, she did not want him to suffer such a human tragedy.

Li Xiu could also feel Princess Pingyang's complex and painful mood. He sighed again and comforted her for a while. Finally, Princess Pingyang calmed down temporarily. Li Xiu also asked her to go back to the inner house to rest first, and she wanted to visit Li Shimin in the palace. This time, Princess Pingyang did not quarrel about going, but personally sent him out.

At that moment, Li Xiu said goodbye to Princess Pingyang, then turned over and prepared to enter the palace, but at this moment, a carriage ran towards the official road ahead, which made Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang stunned. Then the carriage came to Li Xiu and others in the blink of an eye and stopped.

"This is..." When Li Xiu saw this carriage, he couldn't help but look surprised, because the guards behind the carriage seemed to be from the East Palace, but now the East Palace should have been blocked, how could there be a carriage coming out?

Before Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang could react, the carriage door was opened. Then a young woman in the palace dress walked out of the carriage. When she saw Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, the other party knelt down in front of the two of them with a "thump" and she cried and said, "My uncle and aunt are here, and Su begs to save the prince's life!"

"Too...the Crown Princess!" When Li Xiu saw who the woman was, he couldn't help but shouted in surprise. This young woman in the palace dress was the Crown Princess Su. When he was choosing a concubine for Li Chengqian, Li Shimin had asked Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji about his opinions, and later Li Xiu had met each other several times, so he had some impressions.

"Crown Princess, what are you doing? Please get up quickly!" Princess Pingyang also reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Su up and said, "After getting married, Su and Li Chengqian had visited her several times, so she was very familiar with Su."

"Auntie, the prince has made a big mistake and has been imprisoned now. Although I know that the national law is ruthless, the prince is my husband after all. I can't watch him die under the sword of his father, but the prince refused to see me and looked at the court everywhere. I could only come and ask my aunt and uncle for help!"

At this time, although Su stood up, she said again with tears in her eyes that she could not leave the palace at will, let alone Chang'an City. However, for Li Chengqian, she mustered up extremely courage and almost forcibly broke through the barrier along the way, in order to ask Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang to save Li Chengqian's life.

When Li Xiu next to him heard Su's words, he couldn't help but sigh. Although Su was the crown princess, he usually only helped Li Chengqian manage the internal affairs of the East Palace and was not clear about what Li Chengqian did outside. This time, Li Chengqian rebelled, probably she thought Li Chengqian was dead, so she came to ask for help from herself and Princess Pingyang.

"Don't worry, Crown Princess, I'm just about to go to the palace to meet Your Majesty. And in my opinion, the Crown Prince should not be worried about his life!" Li Xiu finally spoke at this time.

Speaking of which, this Crown Princess is also pitiful. At that time, Li Chengqian chose her as the Crown Princess just to be angry with Li Shimin. And after she entered the palace, although she had tried her best to serve Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian did not like her very much. Later, Li Chengqian had a bad relationship with Chengxin, which made the face of the Crown Prince lose all the face of the Crown Prince. Some people even spread rumors that it was because Su was not loved by the Crown Prince, which made the Crown Prince turn to like men.

"Really, is the prince really okay?" Su finally raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"I promise that the prince will not be in trouble, but if you run out without authorization like this, you may be criticized. It is better to be with the princess first, and I will go to the palace to meet Your Majesty immediately!" Li Xiu spoke solemnly again.

"As long as the prince is safe, even if he is demoted to a commoner, I will be willing!" Su said with tears again at this time. She was a smart woman. She had known for a long time that Li Chengqian's position as crown prince would not be able to be saved, but as long as Li Chengqian's life could be kept, she would not have any complaints, and she would still silently stay by Li Chengqian's side in the future.

Looking at the infatuated woman of Su, Li Xiu also sighed inwardly. Because time was urgent, he also said goodbye and left again. Su was temporarily taken care of by Princess Pingyang, so as not to think about it alone.
