Chapter 198
More than half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside Mingde Gate.
The journey was only a dozen miles. If you had to walk along Zhuque Street to the palace, it would take about half an hour longer.
As for Lord Su... he fell asleep.
Princess Changle knelt on his back, punching and pinching him.
In less than three minutes, Su Chen was motionless.
This discovery made Princess Changle furious. It turned out that she was giving someone a massage!
However, she was kind-hearted and did not retaliate against Su Chen but massaged Su Chen all the way.
At this time, Su Chen was still snoring. Perhaps he got up early today. Su Chen's slight snoring could even be heard in the quiet carriage.
"Humph! You are lucky, you stinky hooligan!" Princess Changle held her wrist and twisted her wrist joint. Massaging Su Chen all the way, her hands were a little sore.
She looked at the time, it was five thirty-six, she opened the window of the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked outside.
"My Lord, the Crown Prince has arrived!"
About ten minutes later, Zhang Long came to the carriage to report.
"I know!" Princess Changle replied.
"Your Highness, His Majesty and the Queen are here too!" Zhang Long did not hear Su Chen's answer and added.
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and others stopped the carriage at Mingde Gate, and a group of people walked to Mingde Gate.
A large group of people were walking towards Su Chen and his group.
"You rascal, wake up!"
Princess Changle quickly squatted beside Su Chen and shook him hard.
"You rascal, wake up, your father and mother are here!"
After calling Su Chen several times in a row, there was no response at all, and Princess Changle was anxious.
Whether she could follow Su Chen to leave Chang'an City depended on Su Chen.
Princess Changle was quick-witted and twisted Su Chen's waist hard.
"Ah~hiss~ah~!"
Su Chen suddenly got up like a corpse, rubbing the thin flesh on his waist desperately.
"Damn hooligan, get off the carriage quickly! Father and mother are here."
Su Chen was confused in his sleep and didn't know what was going on.
"Oh, oh, okay, get off the carriage!"
Su Chen quickly got out of the carriage, and after jumping off the carriage, he saw that everyone was outside, and then he realized what was going on.
"Your Majesty, Queen! Your Highness!"
Those who should get off the horse got off the horse, and bowed to Li Shimin and others.
"No need to be polite!" Li Shimin stopped and swept his arms.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin continued to walk towards Su Chen, and just at this time he saw Su Chen standing under the carriage, helping Princess Changle get off the carriage.
"Guanyin, this kid is quite careful. When leaving the manor, he also knew to send the beauty back to the palace."
Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun beside him.
"Your Majesty, don't get angry later!" Empress Changsun stopped and smiled at Li Shimin.
"Hmm? Why did Guanyin say that?"
"Erlang, you will know in a moment, go ahead." Empress Changsun took Li Shimin's arm and continued to walk forward.
"Your Majesty, Mother, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Su Chen and Princess Changle quickly greeted Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, bowed and greeted respectfully.
"Well, you are quite punctual, it's not even six o'clock yet." Li Shimin raised his hand to look at his watch and praised Su Chen.
"Hehe, I got up at half past four today." Su Chen yawned and smiled.
In fact, Li Shimin and his men were also early, and those accompanying family masters were even earlier. They were waiting outside the Suzaku Gate at five o'clock.
"Mother, do you like the buns that Li Ke sent to the palace last night?" Su Chen looked at Empress Changsun and asked with a smile.
"Li Ke and Rengui sent the buns last night just in time. We were waiting for the barbecue last night and didn't have dinner. The buns are delicious and we all like them very much." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
"That's good. Master Liu is very good at making buns. When we come back, let him teach the imperial chef how to make buns."
Empress Changsun said gently: "Su Chen, you and Gao Ming should pay more attention to safety outside, and don't leave the crowd to go out alone."
"Don't worry, mother, I know. Safety must be the most important!" Su Chen bowed and assured.
Empress Changsun nodded with relief, and then looked at Li Ke and Xue Rengui.
"Li Ke, you are more and more like your father when he was young, heroic!"
Li Ke bowed and saluted with one hand: "Mother, I dare not compare..."
"Old Third, don't be modest! You are indeed three points of my young strength and two points of appearance." Li Shimin interrupted Li Ke.
After hearing this, the people who were close to Li Shimin stared at him in amazement.
"I dare not compare myself with my father. I am not even one of him." Li Ke's mouth twitched slightly, and he did not want to argue with Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, the time is just right now! Otherwise, the prince and I will set off now!" Su Chen did not want to listen to Li Shimin's bragging anymore.
If there were not so many people now, Su Chen would not knowLet Li Ke show Li Shimin how to use the Fang Tian Hua Ji with one hand.
Li Shimin nodded, "Old Third, Rengui, the safety of the crown prince and Su Chen depends on you, don't be careless outside!"
"As ordered!"
"Where is Li Junxian?"
"I will pay my respects to your majesty!" Li Junxian quickly rushed out of the crowd.
"Junxian, listen to my order. From now on, I order you to protect Su Chen at all times. You will not die and he will not be injured. If there are any suspicious and dangerous factors, kill them first and then interrogate them!"
"I will obey my order!"
It's no wonder that Li Shimin is so cautious. He knows the dangers after being assassinated.
Both the crown prince Li Chengqian and Su Chen are very important to him.
Su Chen was not surprised by Li Shimin's arrangement, but he was a little touched. The commander of the imperial army had never taken on such a task.
"Commander Li, I'm sorry to bother you on this trip!" Su Chen bowed to Li Junxian.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite! It is my honor to serve you!" Li Junxian bowed in return.
Su Chen smiled back, "Your Highness, let's set off now, what do you think?" Su Chen bowed to Li Chengqian and asked.
Li Chengqian nodded and took two steps forward, turned around and bowed to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun:
"I will definitely go and come back quickly on this trip, please don't worry, father and mother!"
Li Shimin nodded, "Well, you guys set off!"
Li Chengqian and Su Chen bowed at the same time, then turned and walked towards the carriage.
When Li Chengqian stepped onto the prince's carriage, he found that Su Chen did not follow him, and turned around in confusion.
He saw Su Chen supporting Princess Changle and stepping onto the carriage they came in.
Li Chengqian thought Su Chen was saying goodbye to Changle!
This scene was also seen by Li Shimin and his wife, "Guanyin, is Li Zhi going back to the manor?"
Li Shimin now thought that Princess Changle was coming to see Su Chen off, not to return to the palace. Su Chen and his party set off, and Princess Changle naturally had to return to the manor.
But then, Su Chen himself actually got on the carriage.
Li Shimin hurriedly ran to Su Chen's carriage, "Boy, wait a minute, what are you doing?"
Su Chen stopped getting into the carriage and looked back at Li Shimin.
Empress Changsun shook her head and smiled, and followed Li Shimin.
"Erlang, let them go, doesn't your Majesty understand that girl?" Empress Changsun pulled Li Shimin's arm and advised him.
"It's just nonsense, it's unreasonable! I..."
Li Shimin cursed and was dragged away by Empress Changsun.
