I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Several nobles outside with disheveled clothes rushed in like frightened birds. In their panic, some of them even tripped over the threshold and almost fell down.

After they came in, they hurriedly closed the door of the palace tightly, leaned against the door with their backs, their bodies shaking violently like sieves, gasping for breath, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down their foreheads, and endless fear still lingering in their eyes.

The servant looked up and saw that they were dressed in extraordinarily luxurious clothes, with exquisite patterns embroidered on the brocade and silk, and the accessories around their waists were also priceless.

It highlights the extraordinary identities of these people.

Upon seeing this, the servant's eyes widened instantly, a hint of surprise and awe flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose into a flattering smile.

He was extremely humble.

His eyes were full of flattery, and his gaze was fixed on these people, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

He bowed respectfully and said, "May I ask who you are, gentlemen? I haven't reported this to my prince yet."

As he spoke, his flattering demeanor was fully revealed.

Cui Lin recovered at this time. He frowned slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, as if he was looking at a lowly person.

He raised his chin slightly, glanced at the servant, and said with his head held high: "I am from the Cui family of Qinghe, and I am an old friend of your prince. You, the servant, why don't you quickly inform your prince? Don't delay!"

There was unquestionable arrogance in his tone, and every word he said revealed a sense of superiority, as if he had already given the palace a huge honor by condescending to come here.

Hearing Cui Lin's impolite words, the servant not only did not show any anger, but instead bent even lower, his expression becoming even more respectful, and said hurriedly: "Gentlemen, please wait a moment. I will go and report to my prince."

After saying that, he hurried into the mansion.

Li Xun, who was enjoying singing and dancing and drinking in the mansion, was stunned when he heard the servant report that the Cui family had arrived, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then his face was filled with a flattering smile. He quickly put down the wine glass in his hand and ran out in a hurry without even having time to tidy up his clothes.

"Mr. Cui, why are you here?"

Li Xun smiled widely, leaned forward slightly, and showed respect.

"Your Majesty, this time we are in great trouble!"

Cui Lin frowned, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, but he still tried to maintain a proud look.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Xun frowned, his eyes showing concern.

"Your Majesty, I'm ashamed to say that we are here to seek refuge!"

Cui Lin said solemnly, a flash of panic in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He didn't want to lose face in front of Li Xun.

"In the Tang Dynasty, who dares to embarrass the Cui family of Qinghe?"

Li Xun was shocked, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief.

As soon as he said this, he felt a chill in his heart, and instantly understood. There was indeed someone in the Tang Dynasty who could make things difficult for the Qinghe Cui family, and that was the one who was high above in the palace and held the power of life and death.

"Mr. Cui, who are these people behind you?"

Li Xun glanced at the people behind Cui Lin. Seeing that they were all well-dressed, he couldn't help but want to make friends with them. A hint of calculation flashed in his eyes.

"I am from the Fanyang Lu family..."

Before the man could finish his words, Cui Lin interrupted him impatiently.

Cui Lin's brows furrowed, discontent gleaming in his eyes. He seemed annoyed that this person was even considering introducing himself at this moment. He raised his voice slightly and said, "Now is not the time to get acquainted. Your Majesty's Imperial Guards have gone mad, killing us nobles on sight in Chang'an. I believe someone in the court is interfering!"

Cui Lin's eyes were filled with resentment and fear. His teeth trembled slightly while he spoke, and his lips turned a little pale due to nervousness, but he still tried to straighten his back and maintain the proud posture of a noble.

He had just seen too many nobles die in the dark.
