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

Li Ce disagreed.

"There are no such things as ghosts or gods in this world, let alone reincarnation. They are just some tricks learned to fool the ignorant people."

Most people who fight in wars don't believe in these things.

Although some soldiers worship Guan Gong and Bai Qi, they are all seeking psychological comfort.

If Guan Gong and Bai Qi appeared one day, I'm afraid they would scare a lot of people.

Seeing that Jiang Wanyue didn't say anything, Li Ce suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Do you believe?"

Jiang Wanyue shook her head slowly.

"I don't believe she is the reincarnation of a fairy, but maybe she has a strange encounter. Your Highness, have you heard of Su Hui? Some people are born with memories of their past lives."

Li Ce laughed out loud, obviously not believing it.

If it were in the past, Jiang Wanyue might not have believed it.

But she had experienced it herself.

Having died once, she returned to the past many years.

In the past two years, he has relied on what he learned from his previous life to advance step by step and achieve his current position.

Since she can go back to the past, why can't others have some adventures?

"You are a woman after all, and you tend to have wild thoughts. This matter has nothing to do with adventures or supernatural powers. What's more important is the followers. There are more than 10,000 of them, and although they are scattered across the states, if they are used by someone with ulterior motives, it could lead to something terrible."

What Li Ce was thinking was completely different from what Jiang Wanyue was thinking.

Jiang Wanyue collected her scattered thoughts and said, "Your Highness is right. I wonder if Your Highness has any countermeasures?"

"I have sent someone to investigate. I will report to Father when I go to the palace tomorrow. How to deal with it depends on what Father thinks."

Li Ce stretched and pulled Jiang Wanyue into his arms.

"It's getting late, time to go to bed."

Jiang Wanyue subconsciously glanced out the window.

It’s not completely dark yet!

She glared at Li Ce and called out to him tenderly.

"Your Highness!"

Li Ce held her in his arms, stroking her back with his hands, speaking teasingly.

"Wan'er hasn't been with me for a long time. Does this mean you hate me?"

"Your Highness, this is slander. I just don't want you to be gossiped about by outsiders. The Crown Princess has only been gone for a few days, and I must set an example!"

Jiang Wanyue hurriedly explained.

Li Ce chuckled and rubbed his chin gently against her forehead.

"It's okay. I'm the crown prince now, who dares to interfere? Wan'er, can you stay today?"

Now that things have come to this, Jiang Wanyue can no longer refuse.

She nodded slightly, and the next moment, Li Ce picked her up and carried her into the inner room, where he quickly took off their clothes.

It was already March and the heating in the palace had been turned off long ago, but it was still a bit cold after nightfall.

But tonight, Jiang Wanyue didn't feel any coolness. She only felt that Li Ce was like a fire, warming her from the inside out.

Li Ce got carried away and was still not satisfied after the first time, so he dragged Jiang Wanyue to the bathroom and made another scene.

After finishing, Li Ce fell asleep contentedly.

Jiang Wanyue waited until he fell asleep, then quietly got up and walked to the outer room.

Xiuchun, who had been waiting outside, stepped forward immediately.

"Master, are you thirsty?"

Jiang Wanyue whispered something in her ear, and Xiuchun went out immediately.

After a while, she returned again and handed a pill wrapped in a wax shell to Jiang Wanyue.

Jiang Wanyue peeled off the wax and swallowed the pill with water.

Just as he was about to give Xiuchun some instructions, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

The moment she heard the voice, Jiang Wanyue's whole body froze, and she felt a moment of panic in her heart.

But she quickly calmed down and turned around calmly.

"Did you wake up His Highness? I'm a little thirsty, so I'll get up and have a glass of water."

Li Ce sat astride the edge of the bed. His pajamas were a little loose, revealing half of his strong chest.

Jiang Wanyue walked over and pulled her collar tight.

"It's night time, be careful not to catch a cold."

Li Ce's eyes first fell on her face, then slowly swept over her body. He paused slightly on her hand and then spoke.

"I'm a little thirsty too."

Jiang Wanyue quickly turned around and called out, "Xiuchun, pour me another cup of hot water."

Xiuchun moved quickly and went to get another cup of hot water.

Jiang Wanyue handed the teacup to Li Ce.

Li Ce didn't take it. He drank two sips from her hand before lying down again.

Jiang Wanyue turned around and put the teacup on the table, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in bed, Li Ce had closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Jiang Wanyue looked at his sleeping face, feeling conflicted.

Did he see me taking the medicine just now?

Jiang Wanyue was full of thoughts and it took a long time before she fell into a drowsy sleep.

When she woke up, it was already daybreak.

Jiang Wanyue opened her eyes and subconsciously reached to the side, but found nothing and sat up hastily.

Xiuchun heard the noise and hurried over.

"Master is awake? His Highness went to the palace early in the morning."

Xiuchun helped Jiang Wanyue get out of bed and told the palace maids to get toiletries.

Jiang Wanyue pressed her temples.

"Did His Highness say anything?"

Xiuchun shook her head.

"I only told the servants not to wake you up, nothing else."

Jiang Wanyue put down her hands and seemed to be talking to herself.

"Then it seems that no one saw it... Were you seen by anyone when you went to get the medicine yesterday?"

"I went directly to find my godmother. I didn't meet anyone along the way, so no one should have seen me. Master, don't worry too much. If His Highness had seen me, he would have asked about it on the spot."

Jiang Wanyue thought about it and let the matter go.

After washing and changing her clothes, she returned to Yichun Palace to handle the affairs of the Eastern Palace.

Nothing seemed to happen that day.

For the next two days, Li Ce was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty and did not set foot in Yichun Palace.

After the Chinese New Year, the emperor became increasingly lazy. No matter how good it was in the past, he would attend all the court meetings, big or small. But since the Chinese New Year, the number of grand court meetings has become less and less. Even the daily political affairs were left to Li Ce, and he became a hands-off boss.

In March, the emperor, on someone's advice, wanted to go out of the palace for spring hunting. He didn't want to go to the enclosure, but insisted on going hunting in the wild.

However, it was not easy for the emperor to travel. After much selection, he finally chose Wangwu Mountain, as he wanted to find a place that could both provide wild animals and allow the emperor to stay overnight.

Wangwu Mountain belongs to the Taihang Mountains and is also a famous mountain. There are many people living there, and there are hunters living at the foot of the mountain nearby. As long as you don't go deep into the mountains, there won't be much danger.

Moreover, Wangwu Mountain is very close to the palace, and it only takes an hour for a carriage to go back and forth, and it is even faster by horse.

Now that the palace guards have been replaced, there is no need to worry about another palace coup.

But Li Ce was still worried, so he sent people to the palace to carefully guard it, and almost dug the ground near the palace three feet deep.

The emperor felt a little sorry for Li Ce because he was so busy, so he called the Sixth Prince Liang over and asked him to help Li Ce share his worries.

Prince Liang was naturally overjoyed, and ran straight to the Eastern Palace without even returning to the palace.

When Li Ce just returned to the capital, Prince Liang had always been on good terms with him. He had also helped Li Ce to confront Prince Qi and Prince An, so he could be considered one of Li Ce's own.

When Li Ce was first named crown prince, he called on Prince Liang for help, but Prince Liang refused because he was concerned about his wife being pregnant.

Now that Princess Liang has given birth, Prince Liang naturally has no worries.

"Third Brother!"

As soon as Prince Liang entered the room, he called out with a smile.

"My father asked me to help you! I'll take care of any rough work you can do!"

Li Ce tapped his forehead with his fingers.

"You're already a father, but you're still so unruly."

Prince Liang chuckled and touched his forehead.

Li Ce was used to his behavior and didn't plan to give him any heavy tasks.

"The affairs of the court are too complicated and it is not easy to get started in a short period of time. So, you can help me arrange the trip for my father. I have found the people and the procedures are almost the same. You just need to keep an eye on it to avoid mistakes."

After all, he is the youngest brother, so Li Ce couldn't help but give him a few more instructions.

This task is not difficult because the hardest part has been done and King Liang only needs to finish it.

Li Ce spoke carefully and Prince Liang listened attentively.

"Thank you, Third Brother, for your advice."

"We are brothers, so let's stop the polite words. When you have time, let your sister-in-law bring the children over to play." Li Ce waved his hand.

Prince Liang started to smile again.

"Okay, since Third Brother said so, I will definitely come here every day in the future to enjoy Third Brother's good wine!"

After saying that, his tone changed, becoming somewhat smug and gloating.

"If Fourth Brother knew, he would be so jealous! He is now staying at home with nothing to do and wanted to ask Father for a job, but Father ignored him."

Prince An has always been close to Li Jian. How proud he was in the past is how miserable he is now.

Li Ce knocked on Prince Liang’s forehead again.

"Be more restrained. It's not good if someone sees you."

Prince Liang shook his head and said he didn't care.

"I have nothing to fear in my third brother's territory. Even if someone reports this to my father, my third brother will speak for me, right?"

As he spoke, he moved his face closer to Li Ce.

Li Ce couldn't stand his playful look, so he raised his hand and pushed him away.

"You should stop making trouble with him. Business is more important."

Prince Liang then put away his smile and clasped his hands.

"Don't worry, Third Brother. I'll do it right away."

After saying this, he kicked up the hem of his robe, held his head high and walked out the door.
