Walking on the way to the Eastern Palace, His Majesty Li Er suddenly saw thick smoke floating in the sky ahead.

"Well? Liu Zhong, where is that place? How could there be thick smoke coming out?"

"Your Majesty, that direction...it should be the Eastern Palace?"

"East Palace? Well, it's indeed the direction of the East Palace. How could there be thick smoke there... No, the queen is in the East Palace! Liu Zhong, hurry up, call people to put out the fire!"

"Yes! Here comes someone, hurry up, come with our family to the East Palace to put out the fire!"

The surrounding guards and eunuchs were slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked towards the East Palace. Seeing the thick smoke rising over there, their faces changed, and they quickly ran towards the East Palace!

"Quick, hurry up, hurry up!"

...

Just as His Majesty Li Er led his men to the Eastern Palace, the unusual smoke here also attracted the attention of officials working in various yamen offices in the imperial city.

"Not good, no good, there's a fire in the East Palace!"

"Oh no, the East Palace caught fire!"

"Oh my God, why did the East Palace catch fire?"

"Hurry, go and report to Your Majesty, there is a fire in the East Palace!"

"What are you doing when you are standing there? Go to the East Palace to put out the fire!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is in danger, go to the East Palace!"

From Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other prime ministers to the six ordinary officials, they all took action, found everything that could hold water, and ran towards the East Palace quickly!

......

In the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian, Empress Changsun, Li Lizhi and others were sitting around in front of a burning stove, with a copper pot on it...

"Yeah, it's so delicious. Brother Prince, you are so awesome."

"Hahaha, it's just a little better than others... Mom, try this tofu."

"Gaoming, can this thing really avoid poisoning?"

"Of course, you have been here for so long. Have you been poisoned?" Li Chengqian said while eating simple hot pot. "The stone carbon itself is not poisonous, but the smoke after it is burned is poisonous. Not only the stone carbon, but the smoke from charcoal is also poisonous. Therefore, as long as you discharge these cigarettes outdoors, you will not be poisoned!"

"So that's it!" Empress Changsun looked at the iron tube that extended to the window above her head, felt the heat coming from her knees, and smiled slightly, "I'll go and send this thing to Liangyi Palace later. The weather is cold, and your father's waist and legs are a little uncomfortable recently, so he can't stand the cold!"

"Well, yes, I know, I have someone ready, and I will send you there later." Li Chengqian said vaguely, "Mom, let's live here now in the past few days, and I will wait until the kang in the other side of your bedroom is ready before going back."

"Haha, you don't say that your mother is planning to stay here for a few more days. The weather outside is so cold, but your palace is as warm as spring, and it is very comfortable!"

"Not only that, I have arranged for the farm to speed up the production of stoves and honeycomb coal... The stone carbons there will be sold in a few days, and you will definitely make a lot of money..." Li Chengqian was also preparing to tell Queen Changsun about the plan to make money that he had thought of again, and then heard a burst of rapid footsteps and the anxious shouts of His Majesty Li Er...

"Where is Guanyin maid, where is Guanyin maid? Guanyin maid, you..."

So... a very embarrassing scene appeared. His Majesty Li Er followed a group of people, including eunuchs, palace maids, imperial guards, and other civil and military ministers. They were holding buckets for extinguishing fires, and they widened their eyes and looked at Li Chengqian and others in surprise.

Li Chengqian was also biting a piece of radish in his mouth, staring blankly at His Majesty Li Er and others. Empress Changsun also looked at His Majesty Li Er with a look of surprise and suspicion.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

"You Guanyin maid... are you okay?" His Majesty Li Er asked in a lot of questions everywhere and knew the reason.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian and the little rhinoceros in his arms, then looked at Li Lizhi and Li Zhi, and replied: "I'm fine!"

His Majesty Li Er: “…”

"Father, you are really preparing for this..." Li Chengqian swallowed the radish in his mouth and looked at the people behind His Majesty Li Er, "Do you want to eat something?"

His Majesty Li Er: “…”

"The East Palace is filled with smoke, I still think, think..."

"You don't think the East Palace is on fire, do you?"

His Majesty Li Er glared at him and said, "Is it your boy who is doing it again?"

"If you were talking about the thick smoke on the East Palace... it should be?"

"A bastard!" His Majesty Li Er cursed angrily, then turned his head to everyone and said, "Okay, there's a false alarm, it's all gone!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

All the ministers left, His Majesty Li Er walked to Empress Changsun with a dark face. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Li Chengqian quickly stood up and gave his place to his own son.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"This... it's too cold, so I asked someone to add some stoves to all the palaces of the East Palace..."

"Huh?" His Majesty Li Er then noticed the hot stove in front of him. His originally blue face became surprised, "This is..."

"This is a stove, warm it up?"

His Majesty Li Er frowned again and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that the people of Chang'an are now suffering from the severe cold because of the shortage of charcoal, but you are wasting them here... Li Chengqian, have I indulged you too much?"

"Ah?" Li Chengqian was a little confused. What is this? "It's not my father. What does this stove have to do with whether the people of Chang'an have charcoal available? What does it have to do with whether I was wasting it?"

"Hmph! The weather is abnormal, and the people have not prepared enough charcoal. Now the heavy snowstorm has caused the people of Chang'an to not have enough charcoal to keep warm..." His Majesty Li Er told the charcoal in a painful tone, and then said to Li Chengqian, "You should know and compassionate with the people's livelihood, but you only want to enjoy yourself. Where will you do the people of the world?"

His Majesty Li Er's face was full of pain, but Li Chengqian was surprised when he heard his words and said happily: "Lack of charcoal? The price of charcoal soared? Hahaha, it's great, it's great, it's rich now, haha..."

pity……

"Oh, don't hit, don't hit, Father, please listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation before you finish it!"

"A bastard, the people are in trouble, you are so gloating. I, I must teach you a good lesson today!"

"No, don't...stop, old man, stop! I'm really angry if I don't stop!"

"Hmph! So what if you are angry? Are I afraid that you will be angry?"

"Uh... stop hitting, I won't tell you how to solve the problem of Chang'an's lack of charcoal!"

"Dare you still threatening me? It's really a rebellion... Hum? What did you say just now? Do you have a solution to the charcoal shortage?"
