They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Li Ce jumped off his horse, threw the whip to his followers, and strode into the house.

"How has the mansion been these days?"

He rubbed his hands and asked the butler who followed him.

The butler bowed and told every detail of what had happened in the mansion in recent days.

Li Ce nodded casually, walked through the screen wall and the spacious courtyard, then turned around and walked towards the backyard.

The butler accompanied him to the second gate and stopped.

The rest of the servants in the front yard also stopped at the second gate.

Only two eunuchs from the palace followed Li Ce closely.

The butler looked at the two eunuchs with sharp eyes and steady steps, and kept guessing in his mind. Finally, he couldn't help but mutter something.

"I'm afraid Rong An has fallen out of favor..."

Li Ce naturally couldn't hear the butler's muttering.

He passed through the second gate and went straight to Wutong Courtyard.

But what I didn't expect was that when I arrived at Wutong Courtyard, I didn't see Jiang Wanyue and the child.

When Li Ce heard from the maid that Jiang Wanyue had brought the child into the palace, he frowned.

He knew that his father had given him the name.

I came back today just to tell Wan'er about this.

Li Ce's first reaction was that someone was plotting against Jiang Wanyue and her son, so he immediately called the housekeeper to inquire.

The butler replied in detail.

"It was Eunuch Feng who came. Your Highness knows him. He is the emperor's close associate, so there is no mistake. Eunuch Feng said that he was ordered by the emperor to bring the young master into the palace. Liang Di was worried, so she followed him."

Seeing that his master looked unhappy, the butler hurriedly added.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. I have called dozens of guards to follow us. We are also accompanied by wet nurses, old women and maids. The driver is also an old master in our mansion. If there is anything wrong on the road, he will find it immediately."

Li Ce was still worried, so he sent a dozen guards to chase after him to the palace.

He had just given the order when suddenly, the Crown Princess came over with her people.

The Crown Princess immediately knelt down and saluted when she saw him.

"Your Highness, why are you back at this time?" She had a warm smile on her face, and just the right amount of surprise, "Jiang Liang Di just left! Did Your Highness miss her?"

Li Ce waved his hand, didn't respond to her words, and asked back.

"What's your business?"

The Crown Princess kept her smile on her face, waved her hand to have the servants step back a bit, then spoke in a low voice.

"Wei is about to leave the mansion, and would like to meet Your Highness to express my gratitude."

She paused, looked up at Li Ce quickly, and then continued.

"She was ill before and had to rest for more than half a month before she recovered. I have comforted her. But she was worried and sad, and could not listen to my words."

At this point, the Crown Princess sighed.

"Wei is also pitiful. First she lost her son, then her father and brother also died one after another. Now she is in an awkward position and is in a state of panic. Your Highness has known Wei for many years after all. Perhaps she will listen to your words."

Li Ce's brows frowned and then relaxed.

He didn't agree immediately.

The Crown Princess did not try to persuade him further and raised her hand to stroke her hair.

"I still have to go to Liuyin Courtyard to visit Aunt Guan, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, she knelt down again and walked away with her people.

Li Ce hesitated for a moment.

At this time, Rong An walked out of the study and came to Li Ce cautiously.

"Your Highness, would you like to go in and rest?"

Li Ce came back to his senses, glanced at Rong An, said "hmm", and walked towards the study.

Rong An hurriedly followed.

But he didn't walk very well. Upon closer inspection, he could see that his right leg was a little lame. But he still walked quickly in front of Li Ce to open the door.

Li Ce looked at his legs with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Has your leg disease relapsed?"

Rong An opened the door and stood beside it with his head bowed.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine. It's just that there has been a lot of rain and snow these days, and my legs are a little uncomfortable. It will be fine once the weather clears up."

He spoke in a humble tone.

Li Ce was silent for a while.

"Ask Doctor Wu to come and see you tomorrow."

Rong An bent his waist even lower.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Ce walked into the study.

He seldom came back during this period, and he hadn't been to the study for more than ten days, but everything here remained the same as before.

Li Ce touched the pen holder, pen wash, inkstone and other items on the table, placing everything in the place that was most convenient for him.

Li Ce could tell at a glance that it was Rong An who did it.

"You cleaned it yourself? Just ask the servants to do these things. Your legs are not in good condition, don't tire yourself out."

He turned around and asked.

Rong An smiled innocently: "It's just a small matter, how can it be tiring? In the past, I followed Your Highness at the border, and I didn't feel tired even when I ran hundreds of miles every day."

Li Ce couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you talking about! I collapsed after running and couldn't get out of bed for several days."

Rong An scratched his head.

"How can I compare with Your Highness! Your Highness has been proficient in both civil and military affairs since he was young. I still remember that when several princes learned to ride horses together, Your Highness learned it in just one day, and the Emperor even praised you!"

Li Ce also remembered.

Rong An was exaggerating. He was not actually good at literature, but he was indeed the best among the princes in riding and archery.

The first time I learned to ride a horse, I learned it that same day.

That was also the first time the emperor praised him in front of everyone.

Li Ce was only seven or eight years old at the time. He was extremely excited and a little proud. As a result, he angered Li Jian and Li Zhu, who ordered their followers to ridicule him.

From then on, wherever he went, he would be subjected to all kinds of difficulties, calculations and false accusations.

All the things from the past emerged and flashed through his mind.

Li Ce picked up a wolf-hair brush, twirled it between his fingers, and then put it back in place.

Then he stood up and walked out of the study, heading towards the main courtyard.

The Crown Princess was not in the main courtyard, so it looked much quieter and there were few servants in the courtyard.

Li Ce looked at the room where Wei Fuxue lived and asked Rong An to go forward and knock on the door.

The door was opened by someone, revealing an inconspicuous little maid.

When the little maid saw her master, she was startled and fell to her knees with a thud.

"This servant greets His Highness."

Li Ce frowned, thinking that this little maid was making a fuss out of nothing.

He walked into the house and saw several pots of bright chrysanthemums and osmanthus flowers on the table.

The aroma was so strong that he covered his nose unconsciously.

At this time, Wei Fuxue walked out from the inner room.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

She lost a lot of weight.

It seems that she has lost her former gentleness, kindness and composure.

Li Ce spoke.

"Why have you lost weight? Are you not used to living here?"

Wei Fuxue smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"No, the Crown Princess has taken very good care of me. But how can I feel at ease when such a big thing happened at home?"

She paused, raised her head, and looked hopeful.

"Has the emperor calmed down now?"

Li Ce shook his head.

The light in Wei Fuxue's eyes dimmed instantly.

She felt a pain in her chest and her breathing became tight.

The little maid ran over quickly and lit a piece of incense.

After helping Wei Fuxue sit down, the little maid exclaimed "Ah".

"This benzoin is all used up. I will go to Madam to get some more."

After saying that, she bowed and quickly walked out.

The door closed silently.
