Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

In an instant, the two men's faces changed drastically. They looked at each other, worried about alerting the enemy, so they didn't bother to investigate the man's identity and could only leave first.

Only when they were a little further away from the Zhao residence did Chen Changli and Wan Shufang take off their masks. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces. They did not linger on the street but hurried home, intending to make a detailed plan after returning.

But as soon as they returned home, they bumped into the emperor who appeared in casual clothes. They were slightly stunned and subconsciously wanted to salute, but were stopped by the emperor.

"Hey, no need to salute. I showed up like this because I don't want to be so conspicuous that people would recognize me."

Hearing the emperor's words, the two looked at each other, but still stood up obediently. Looking at their appearance, the emperor curled his lips and said, "Are you going to the Zhao Mansion?"

Hearing this, Chen Changli nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes, I have always felt that there is something wrong with the Zhao Mansion."

"I also felt that something was wrong, but that day, I really couldn't find an excuse to punish him, so I could only let him go." As he said this, the emperor sighed, and then as if he thought of something, his eyes lit up.

He took a step forward and placed his hand on Chen Changli's shoulder. "Forget it, let's not think about this unlucky thing for now. It's rare for you two to come back to the capital, so why don't we go to our old place for a drink today?"

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were both somewhat shocked when these words came out. They glanced at the emperor and couldn't help laughing. They said jokingly, "Your Majesty is still so carefree and unrestrained. You have never changed."

"You've gone out to enjoy yourself, leaving me alone in the capital, bored to death."

As he spoke, the emperor looked at Chen Changli with resentment, as if accusing Chen Changli of committing a great evil.

Seeing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were a little helpless, but they did not refuse. They just went into the house to change clothes and then followed the emperor out.

The group went to the restaurant they used to go to, drank and chatted. Looking at the same rooms and the same dishes, the emperor couldn't help but sigh.

"Ever since you two left, I haven't been to Tianzi Pavilion for a long time, but the taste hasn't changed. It's still as delicious as before."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, looking relaxed and natural. At this moment, the emperor finally no longer looked like the high and mighty king of a country, but more like an ordinary person.

Seeing that he was deeply moved, Chen Changli raised his hand and silently filled his glass with wine: "I should have asked you to give birth to a few more princes. After the throne is passed on, you can also travel around the world."

"You say that easily. Do you think everyone is as capable as your fifth son? None of my princes are easy to take care of. I'm tired of seeing them fighting all the time."

At this point, the emperor rolled his eyes and became even more jealous of Chen Changli. His wife was beautiful and gentle, his children were obedient and promising, and he was traveling around and enjoying life before he was old.

Receiving his jealous look, Chen Changli raised his glass to toast him: "That's true, I'm lucky."

"Stop showing off!" the emperor shouted angrily, wanting to slap him, but he returned to the point: "By the way, Changli, the enemy country is invading and the court is arguing fiercely. I don't know whether to fight or not. I want to hear your opinion."

"The corruption case has cost the court a lot of money. Those old guys want to make peace, but I can't bear to marry a princess to suffer. Only an incompetent emperor would marry a princess off."

The emperor curled his lips and looked anxious, obviously troubled by this matter.

However, this matter concerned the foundation of the country, so they did not dare to make any rash conclusions. After careful consideration, Chen Changli asked softly, "Your Majesty, is General Luo here now?"

"I know what you mean, but General Luo was injured during the Northern Expedition a few days ago and cannot go to the battle for the time being."

"If I remember correctly, General Luo's son is also a capable person. Now that our country is strong, we are not afraid of going to war. If Your Majesty is unwilling to marry the princess, you can try General Luo's son."

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gave Chen Changli a thumbs-up repeatedly, "It's you who's the one who brought this up. I should have told you this earlier."

"A bystander sees more clearly." Chen Changli said in a flat tone, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the emperor's. Just as the three of them were drinking and chatting, the door suddenly became lively and noisy.

The three of them held their breath and concentrated, and the sound outside the door instantly reached their eardrums.

"You blind thing! This is the son of the Marquis, the nephew of the Empress in the Palace. If you offend him, you will have enough heads to pay for it!"

"Our young master is having a dinner party today. Go clear out the restaurant and don't disturb the young masters."

"Oh, sir, please don't make things difficult for us. These other guests arrived first and we can't chase them away." The waiter looked embarrassed and kept nodding and bowing, worried that he would anger this group of dandies.

After hearing this conversation, the three of them looked at each other and walked out of the private room, just in time to come face to face with those dandy young men.

Seeing several people coming out of Room 1, the leading young man was immediately dissatisfied: "Waiter, didn't I tell you that Room 1 can only be used by me from now on? Why are there other people eating here?"

"Sir, we all follow the rules. The first customer every day can sit in seat number one..."

Before the waiter could finish his words, he was slapped by the man's servant and stood there in a daze, covering his face.

As if they hadn't expected him to suddenly attack, Chen Changli and his group were also stunned. Then he walked forward and looked at the group coldly: "First come, first served, it's the restaurant's rule. Why are you making things difficult for us?"

Upon hearing this, the young master of the Marquisate glanced at Chen Changli indifferently. Seeing that the other party was not wearing any luxurious clothes, his eyes immediately became contemptuous.

"Hehe, where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you show off in front of me? Get out of here if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, I will beat you to death and no one will dare to stop me." He said in a sarcastic tone and was about to walk inside.

Seeing that Chen Changli was still blocking their way, several young masters instantly became dissatisfied and started to sneer at him.

"Get out of here now! Our young master is here, and there's no place for you poor bastards."

"That's right, don't go out when you're dressed so shabbily."

"Otherwise, if you just bark like a dog, we'll reluctantly let you serve us. You don't have to leave, hahaha."

The few of them laughed unscrupulously, and the insults in their words made everyone look ugly and resentful. However, these dandy young men were notorious, and although everyone disliked them, they did not dare to offend them.

He could only accept his fate and leave. The secret guard was so angry when he saw Chen Changli being humiliated like this. He was about to get angry but was stopped by Wan Shufang. Wan Shufang shook her head and then turned her wrist.

A burst of medicinal powder floated over the young men. She had given the antidote to the people around her in advance. When the medicinal powder touched the skin, it made people feel itchy all over.

In an instant, the expressions of those young masters changed, and they suddenly twisted uncomfortably.

"Hiss, it's so itchy."

"Why is it so itchy? It feels like there are ants crawling on it."

"Ah, Prince, your face..."

Several people couldn't help but stretch out their hands to scratch everywhere. For a moment, several young men in the restaurant twisted their bodies and scratched their faces until they turned red. They made a fool of themselves in public and made everyone laugh.
