"Li Ke, have you vented your anger?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile as he looked at Li Ke covering his nose while the roommate next to him applied medicine to him.
Li Ke rolled his eyes at Zhao Chen.
He didn't know that he was being set up by Zhao Chen again today.
But just like Zhao Chen said, he was full of energy today.
When he was a child, his mother-in-law Yang Fei always told him that the prince was the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty and that he should never conflict with him.
Even if you are bullied, you have to keep your head down and tolerate it.
Li Ke has been bullied by Li Chengqian since he was a child.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian was severely beaten today.
Prince, in the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Ke is probably the only person who dares to fight with the prince like this.
comfortable!
I was really angry.
"That's not...hiss!" The corner of his mouth touched the wound, causing Li Ke to take a breath of cold air.
"What happened today is indeed what I deliberately instigated you to do. Here, I apologize to you!" Zhao Chen and Li Ke said, cupping their hands.
"Sir, don't say that. If you can take this breath today, it will be worth your while to die."
"If it weren't for sir, I would never be able to say this in my life."
"If my father investigates later, Li Ke will definitely not implicate anyone!" Li Ke quickly bowed to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen, such an arrogant guy, would actually apologize to himself.
This made Li Ke feel very incredible.
He felt that Zhao Chen was actually not as bad as he thought!
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Zhao Chen patted Li Ke on the shoulder and said with a smile.
…
In the academy room, Li Chengqian had already applied medicine to his face.
There were bruises everywhere, and his eye sockets were swollen from that guy Li Ke's punch.
Li Chengqian is very angry now.
Zhao Chen, Wei Zheng, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, and so many people in the academy were all against him.
Now, his younger brother, Li Ke, is fighting with him in public.
Li Chengqian felt that the entire Tang Dynasty was against him.
"Your Highness, do you want to continue talking about road construction?" Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart before speaking slowly.
Before the matter even started to be discussed, the prince was beaten like this.
Those who didn't know better thought there was a rebellion.
If this matter is not handled properly, Li Chengqian's reputation will plummet.
This road construction has reached the point where it has to be repaired!
Otherwise, how can Li Chengqian restore people's hearts?
"Talk, don't talk about it. Isn't this injury I suffered in vain?" Li Chengqian frowned and said, the pain on his body made him sober up.
"Okay, then let Zhao Chen come over now." Changsun Wuji handed over his hands and left the room.
The room fell into silence, and one could only vaguely hear Li Chengqian's heavy breathing.
Li Chengqian was suppressing his inner anger.
He was afraid that as soon as he saw Zhao Chen, he would punch him to death.
After half a cup of tea, the anger in Li Chengqian's heart finally calmed down a lot.
Zhao Chen pushed the door open and went in. No one followed him.
Changsun Wuji also came in and closed the door behind him.
Looking at Li Chengqian's current appearance, Zhao Chen almost laughed out loud.
That guy Li Ke also tried his best to kill him, but he showed no mercy at all.
Otherwise, Li Chengqian would not have been beaten into such a bear shape.
"Zhao Chen, are you angry with me now when I look like this?" Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Chen with a stern look on his face.
He also knew that the man behind what happened just now was Zhao Chen in front of him.
But how could Zhao Chen admit it?
Even if everyone knew it well, Zhao Chen would not take the blame for himself, right?
"What did the prince say? What does this have to do with this county magistrate? If the prince is uncomfortable, I will ask someone to bring Li Ke over so that the prince can have a good and in-depth communication with him?" Zhao Chen waved his hand, half-smiling but not smiling.
Looking at Li Chengqian.
Changsun Wuji's expression froze and he looked at Zhao Chen.
He secretly thought that Zhao Chen was really hiding his words.
Let Li Ke come over, and those two guys won't have to fight again?
This is great!
This kid's mind is really vicious!
Li Chengqian was also full of words, but Zhao Chen choked him with one sentence.
"Zhao Chen, His Royal Highness is here today to discuss matters related to the cement road with you!" Changsun Wuji said, changing the topic from the fight.
"cement road?"
"I thought the prince was here to take Du He back. These days, Du He has been threatening to commit suicide, saying that he is sorry for his ancestors, who has fallen into such a state, and no one has come to rescue him!" Zhao Chen looked at Li Chengqian with a smile.
The scars in Li Chengqian's heart were once again exposed, causing Li Chengqian's expression to change suddenly.
Fortunately, I finally endured it!
"Zhao Chen, this is a sand and gravel mining document. I can give it to you, but you must also agree to several conditions."
"Otherwise, Duhe Palace will not care about it, and you will not be able to get this sand and gravel mining document!"
"Of course, you can wait for your father to come back from outside and ask for it. After all, he treats you better than his own son!" Li Chengqian said slowly.
This last sentence, however, has a specific meaning and is full of reluctance.
Zhao Chen only thought it was Li Chengqian's dissatisfaction with Lao Li Tou and didn't take it to heart.
As for the conditions mentioned by Li Chengqian, Zhao Chen already knew it in his heart.
After all, these guys had been lingering on the cement road for so long.
Zhao Chen wouldn't believe it if he said it had nothing to do with it!
"The prince will tell you his conditions first!" Zhao Chen smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.
Li Chengqian's throat rumbled, but he saw that Zhao Chen had no intention of pouring tea with him.
Suppressing the discomfort of a dry mouth, he said slowly: "First, you must help me build a concrete road like that in Chang'an City, and I will not give you a penny."
"Secondly, give Du He back to me."
"Third, let Li Ke apologize to me in public!"
Li Chengqian stated his three conditions.
After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian didn't say anything, but stared closely into Zhao Chen's eyes.
He was wondering whether Zhao Chen would refuse these conditions of his.
Changsun Wuji frowned. They had not discussed this third condition before.
Ask Li Ke to apologize to Li Chengqian?
Zhao Chen would never agree to this.
Sure enough, Zhao Chen waved his hand and said, "I can accept the first two conditions mentioned by the prince. After all, it is my duty to build roads for the people of Tang Dynasty, and I can do it for free."
"Du He has worked hard these days. We can let him go back and rest."
"As for Li Ke..."
Having said this, a smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face and he said with a smile: "It's better than this. Your Highness the Crown Prince agrees to a condition, and I won't have to pay the Crown Prince's compensation for the 10,000 yuan."
"What conditions?" Li Chengqian frowned and his eyes fell on Zhao Chen's face.
Changsun Wuji also looked over.
Money was a trivial matter, and he was afraid that Zhao Chen would do something wrong again.
"This way." Zhao Chen put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Why don't you invite the prince to apologize to Li Ke in public..."??
