Either fresh fruits came today, or high-quality royal wine was brought as tribute, and Liu Mingzhi came to the palace to taste it one by one.
As a result, Liu Mingzhi had agreed to leave on the 20th, but it was suddenly delayed to the 25th.
For several days in a row, Liu Mingzhi stayed in the palace every day from sunrise to evening, enduring all kinds of kindness from Li Ye.
His favored appearance made all the officials surprised and even more envious.
He has assisted three generations of emperors with great kindness and magnanimity. Looking at the world, there is no one else like Liu Mingzhi who would stand shoulder to shoulder.
February twenty-fifth.
At the north gate of the capital, Liu Mingzhi saluted Li Ye who was waving goodbye on the city wall, got on his horse and galloped away along the official road.
One man, one horse, one sword and one baggage went north alone.
Chic and lonely.
Li Ye looked at the back that had grown to the size of a palm and finally disappeared, and looked at Xiao Dezi, who had replaced Su An, with complicated eyes.
"Xiao Dezi."
"We are here, what are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"The imperial grandmother told me that my grandfather Ruizhong once said that the imperial power is supreme and the emperor's majesty cannot be insulted. For the sake of the country, everything should be sacrificed, because the emperor is destined to be a loner from birth.
The emperor and his ministers can be kind, but they cannot be affectionate.
Because the emperor carries the world and the foundation of the Li family on his back, he still has to do it even though he knows it shouldn't be done, because the emperor has to face thousands of people, not just one person.
As long as he is worthy of the people of the world, this is a qualified emperor.
Do you think what my grandfather said is correct or not?"
Xiao Dezi looked at Li Ye blankly for a while, then knelt down in front of Li Ye with a plop.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life, we...we...don't dare to talk nonsense."
Li Ye looked at the trembling little Dezi: "Oh! Get up, it's time for us to go north. I want to personally go to the soldiers to fight against the thieves."
"Yes Yes!"
Liu Mingzhi, who was galloping, looked at the flag in front of him and was startled.
The frame of Zhao Wang Li Tao.
This guy actually delayed his return to Zhao until now.
Liu Mingzhi's eyes flickered a few times and he chased after him on horseback.
"Stop those who are coming, and go around quickly. Don't collide with the carriages of King Zhao and the Concubine."
"Hush!"
Liu Mingzhi tightened the reins of his horse, stopped and looked at the general who was holding his sword in front of him: "Liu Mingzhi."
"Liu Ming... King of Side by Side?"
"Um!"
"If you are in a humble position and have no eyesight, please see the prince."
"Without ceremony, please inform your prince that I will wait for him at the Shiliting Pavilion in front."
"this....."
Liu Mingzhi took out the royal seal and held it in his hand: "What? Are you worried that this king will be detrimental to King Zhao?"
The general breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the seal: "Don't dare, I will leave immediately."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the general's retreating back, pulled the reins of his horse and rode away first.
After a few minutes of burning incense, Liu Mingzhi, who was standing on the steps of Shili Pavilion and admiring the scenery, heard a suspicious questioning voice from behind.
"Aunt...Uncle?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and turned around to look. His face was stunned and his eyes were a little evasive. Why did this girl come with him?
"I have met King Zhao, and I have met the Dowager Empress."
"Children don't dare."
"Um!"
He Shu replied with a gentle nasal voice, and looked away with his beautiful eyes, with a hint of disgust and shame and anger in his eyes.
Li Tao smiled bitterly, gently tugged on the hem of He Shu's clothes, and walked towards Liu Mingzhi.
"Uncle, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet my uncle on the road."
"Yes, what a coincidence. When we reach the branch road twenty miles away, one goes north and the other goes west, we really can't see it."
"Indeed, as the saying goes, it is better to meet by chance than to meet by chance. This sentence is indeed true. By the way, I wonder why my uncle wants to see me?"
Liu Mingzhi silently twirled the ring on his hand and looked at Li Tao in front of him with a faint look.
It wasn't until Li Tao was shocked both physically and mentally that he spoke softly.
"Do you want to be emperor?"
"ah?"
Li Tao stared at Liu Mingzhi in stunned silence for a moment, motionless and unable to recover.
There was a soft snap.
Liu Mingzhi wailed, and Li Tao came to his senses and looked at Liu Mingzhi hurriedly.
Liu Mingzhi grinned and rubbed his cheeks with clear fingerprints, glaring at He Shu angrily.
"Sister-in-law, why did you hit me?"
He Shu glanced back at Li Tao, his beautiful eyes full of panic.
He glared at Liu Mingzhi fiercely, and hurriedly took Li Tao and walked toward the carriage in the distance.
"King Bingjian, if you dare to talk nonsense again, the Ai family will never be done with you!"
"Concubine, the child didn't hear clearly from my uncle..."
"Tao'er, if you dare to go back, today we, mother and son, will sever all ties."
"I......"
Li Tao glanced back at Liu Mingzhi, with a strong look of struggle in his eyes.
"Tao'er, he is testing you. If you dare to answer, our mother, son and your sister will all be dismembered. Have you forgotten how loyal he is to your imperial brother?
Listen to my mother and just be an idle prince, okay?"
Li Tao's body trembled, he lowered his head in anticipation and fear, and let his mother and concubine pull him into the carriage.
"Let's set off and return to Zhao land quickly!"
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the motorcade that was gradually moving away.
"My mother, she seems to be extremely weak and delicate, but she can be quite ruthless."
