"When I was a child, my mother watched you grow up slowly. When she was a kid, she rode on your father's shoulders, waving her fists and said, "In the future, I will open up the territory for my Tang Dynasty like your father... ”

"As for Qingque, I like to lie in my mother's arms every day to eat the meat. Now, I am also chubby."

"Azhi and Yizi are also the flesh of their mother's hearts, and their mother is reluctant to let any of you leave your side..."

Empress Changsun said a lot today.

After a few words, tears came down.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai were panicked for a moment, and Li Lizhi and Li Mingda were even more at a loss, hugging Empress Changsun to comfort her.

"Mother, we have all grown up, you don't have to worry, we will listen to you." Li Chengqian comforted.

"Yes, mother, you are in a good state and you can't be sad anymore, otherwise you will have to trouble you again, sir." Li Tai also advised.

Li Lizhi and Li Mingda may not know what Queen Changsun said just now.

But Li Chengqian and Li Tai are very clear.

After all, Empress Changsun was still talking about the birthday of Mrs. Fang Xuanling that day.

The two of them had a fuss with Zhao Chen. If the emperor had not arrived in time, they would have really not ended.

"You are studying in the academy and Zhao Chen teaches. My mother believes that you will definitely succeed in your studies."

"Mom has many things now, and it is impossible to explain them clearly to you, but you must believe that your mother will not harm you." Empress Changsun patted Li Chengqian and Li Tai's heads and sighed.

Many things are definitely not a good time to speak out now.

But Empress Changsun was worried that if this continued, something would definitely happen between the few people.

Today's banquet was originally intended to resolve the resentment of several people, but Zhao Chen stopped coming.

Everyone knows it in their hearts.

Empress Changsun didn't know what to do, so she could only give her instructions again and again.

...

"Hey, Zhao Chen, why did you come to the tavern today?"

Outside the Wangyou Tavern, Cheng Yaojin led his horse and saw Zhao Chen sitting outside the tavern, staring motionlessly at the table in front of him.

After returning to the academy this time, the tavern was completely handed over to Uncle Fu to take care of.

Uncle Fu is old and the tavern is open and resting every day.

As for Zhao Chen, he has been busy with the academy and has basically never returned to the tavern.

Cheng Yaojin passed by the tavern several times, but he didn't see Zhao Chen.

I suddenly saw it today and couldn't help but be surprised.

After tied up the horse, Cheng Yaojin walked into the tavern with a smile.

He took a jar of wine and two bowls of wine and sat down in front of Zhao Chen.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Why should I have some drinks with Uncle Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin poured Zhao Chen full of wine, then filled it with him, raised a bowl of wine with Zhao Chen, and then drank a bowl of wine.

"Uncle Cheng is back from outside the city?" Zhao Chen picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

"Well, isn't the spring hunt going to start soon? Your Majesty asked me to go and have a look." Cheng Yaojin explained.

"What's wrong with you today? You look unhappy?" Cheng Yaojin asked again.

"A little thing is nothing." Zhao Chen shook his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Cheng Yaojin had never seen Zhao Chen look so despairy.

I don’t think that Zhao Chen has encountered a small thing.

"Zhao Chen, if you believe Uncle Cheng, then tell Uncle Cheng, what happened? Don't worry, Uncle Cheng will never tell anyone about what happened today." Cheng Yaojin persuaded in a low voice.

In Cheng Yaojin's impression, Zhao Chen always had a relaxed smile on his face.

No matter what happens, you will be at ease.

Today, it's really strange.

Zhao Chen looked up, looked at Cheng Yaojin, shook his head, and showed a self-deprecating look on his face, saying, "Uncle Cheng, if I told you that I want to run away, would you laugh at me?"

"Run? Where to go?"

"Why do you want to run?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned.

That's right, how could Zhao Chen say such things?

"Leave Chang'an and run to a place where there is no right or wrong, and a place where there is no need to worry about letting down others." Zhao Chen said slowly, his expression on his face disappeared.

"You want to leave Chang'an, but because of the incident on Mrs. Fang Xuanling's birthday a few days ago?" Cheng Yaojin was a wise guy, and he immediately guessed the reason why Zhao Chen was so discouraged.

But thinking about it, even if Zhao Chen was designed by the crown prince or by the King of Wei, there was no need to be so discouraged.

When Zhao Chen clashed with them before, he was not so depressed.

"Today the Queen invited me to the Lizheng Hall for a banquet. Halfway through the way, I ran away again." Zhao Chen did not answer Cheng Yaojin, but continued to talk about his own affairs.

"for……"

"The prince is gone, Li Tai is gone, and there are also Li Lizhi and Li Mingda, so I didn't go." Cheng Yaojing wanted to speak, but when he heard Zhao Chen continue to speak.

"I know what the purpose of this banquet is. The prince and the king of Wei are both the queen's parents and children. At this banquet, the queen must have wanted to mediate the conflict between us."

"The queen treats me well. If it were the same, I would have gone there. But this morning, Luo Tong came to my mansion and said that the prince went to the mansion of the Cui family in Boling a few days ago."

"Cui Yan secretly recruited a group of assassins who were not aware of their identity and origin. Not long after, Cui Yan went to the East Palace again."

"I'm not sure if these assassins will be related to me, but I dare not take risks."

"I have Ruoshuang and Uncle Fu. I'm not alone. If they were really the prince and Cui Yan conspiring to assassinate me, what would I do?"

"If I had not died by luck and found out the envoy behind the scenes, should I find a way to take revenge?"

"If you really take revenge on Li Chengqian, you may even kill him..."

Speaking of this, a sharpness burst out in Zhao Chen's eyes that had never been seen before.

Even Cheng Yaojin felt a little danger at this moment.

"What should the queen do if Li Chengqian dies? She is Li Chengqian's mother. She should avenge Li Chengqian." Speaking of this, the cold light in Zhao Chen's eyes suddenly dissipated again, and he looked dejected again.

"So I think I still have to leave the vortex of Chang'an as soon as possible."

"At the beginning, I opened this tavern just to take root in Chang'an City with Uncle Fu. Now it seems that my choice was wrong." Zhao Chen poured himself a full glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Cheng Yaojin did not speak, but drank wine silently.

Zhao Chen even said the words to kill Li Chengqian. He must have been convinced that Li Chengqian and Cui Yan had conspired to attack him.

However, because Empress Changsun is standing in the middle, she is in a dilemma.

Cheng Yaojin also did not expect that Zhao Chen would be so brave.

He even said something like killing Li Chengqian.

However, what moved Cheng Yaojin even more was that Zhao Chen trusted him so much.
