"...Oh, oh, your highness, please have mercy on me, oh, it hurts me so much, oh, your highness, please have mercy on me..."
In the courtyard outside Prince Lu's study room, several palace guards were waving thick sticks and beating an unfortunate bookboy hard. However, under the sticks, blood splattered everywhere, and the screams were extremely loud.
The situation was really unbearable to witness, but Li Xian in the study showed no mercy. Not only did he not forgive, but he screamed from time to time: "Hit, hit hard, you loser, you can't handle even the smallest thing, you loser!"
The weather in March is actually a bit cold, even though it is almost noon, but due to the continuous rain, the temperature is not much higher. Ordinary people put on a few clothes and feel slightly cold, but Li Xian
He was only wearing a single robe, but his face was still sweating profusely, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was horribly twisted, his breath was as thick as a cow's breath, and he was spinning rapidly in circles in the room while roaring.
He keeps going on and on, but he still has no trace of the magnanimity of a wise king. He looks like an ant on a hot pot.
Li Xian was very angry, and he did have a reason to be angry. Originally, he was ready to enter the East Palace and become the crown prince, but he didn't expect that thirteen princes would jointly protect Li Xian, which caught Li Xian off guard.
In addition, he also fell into panic because he knew very well that if there was a draw, he would never be Li Xian's opponent. Even though Li Xian had made promises over and over again, Li Xian could not guarantee it.
Li Xian will not change his mind. You must know that the prince is half a king. The difference between a king and a minister is a day and a place. Comparing his feelings with his own, how can Li Xian feel at ease? At this moment, Li Xian still
I really didn't have the courage to go to Li Xian to ask what was going on, so I could only be sulky alone. After learning that the thirteen princes had jointly signed the book, Li Xian had not eaten a drop of rice and had not closed his eyes all night.
After the news that there were so many visitors to the palace, Li Xian was on the verge of collapse.
Not willing to give in, Li Xian is extremely unwilling to give in, but what can he do if he is not willing to give in? When he thinks of the few people under his command, a sense of powerlessness comes to his heart uncontrollably. Now that things have happened, Li Xian really
I don't know where to go next, but no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for him to give up his position as prince. The current plan may only be to risk his life to fight for a chance.
I had hope. When I thought of this, Empress Wu's cold face suddenly flashed through Li Xian's mind, which immediately made Li Xian shiver involuntarily.
"Come……"
The hope of giving it a try was slim, but no matter what, it was better than waiting for death. When he thought of the golden chair in the East Palace, Li Xian couldn't care about anything. He suddenly stood up and roared to make a decision, but just
The moment the words were spoken, Zhang Che was seen hurriedly running out from the screen. His sudden movement immediately startled Li Xian, and the words stopped abruptly.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of England has arrived outside the mansion."
As the most obedient person around Li Xian, Zhang Che knew how terrifying it would be if Li Xian got angry. Seeing Li Xian staring at him with red eyes, Zhang Che didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly bowed and reported in a panic
said one sentence.
"Oh?" Upon hearing that Li Xian had arrived, Li Xian's first reaction was to rush out, but as soon as he reached the screen, he stopped hesitantly. After pondering for a moment, he looked sideways.
Zhang Che, who was following him nervously, gritted his teeth and said, "Go, please come here by yourself, Lao Qi."
"Yes, slave, I obey."
Li Xian's words were obviously weird. You must know that Li Xian often came to Prince Lu's Mansion. Every time he came back, Li Xian had to go out the door no matter how busy he was. But at this time, Li Xian actually asked Li Xian to go out.
Showing oneself to enter, this is the way to meet subordinates, and Zhang Che is not free but he is extremely suspicious of it. However, Zhang Che does not dare to ask questions casually, so he can only respectfully accept his promise and hurriedly walks towards the gate.
He rushed there and within a few moments, he accompanied Li Xianxing into the study.
Ha, this guy is really good at pretending, it’s interesting! Li Xian and his party entered the study room, and saw Li Xian sitting leisurely a few minutes back, holding a book in his hand. He seemed to be very absorbed in reading, as if he didn’t notice it.
When Li Xian arrived, he looked like he was working hard, but it was a pity that his red eyes revealed Li Xian's extremely uneasy heart, which really made Li Xian very proud.
The urge to laugh.
"Sixth brother is really good-tempered. He didn't change his face even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. My younger brother is impressed."
Seeing Li Xian pretending there, Zhang Che's face immediately brightened up, and he opened his mouth. Just as he was about to step forward to report, Li Xian stretched out his hand to stop him, and waved his hand, signaling Zhang Che to retreat on his own.
Then he walked slowly to the opposite side of Li Xian, sat down casually, and joked with Li Xian with a smile.
"Hey, seventh brother is here. Haha, I saw Jiawen by chance and couldn't bear to let go. I didn't even come to welcome him from afar. Please don't be surprised. Come and serve tea!"
Being teased by Li Xian, Li Xian couldn't pretend anymore, so he put the book in his hand aside and explained a few words with a dry smile.
"There is no need to serve tea. Sixth brother should quickly change his clothes and enter the palace with his younger brother."
How could Li Xian not know the purpose of Li Xian's manipulation? He was just using it to declare that he was the person in charge of the alliance of the two kings. However, he didn't bother to argue with him or go around too much, so he stood up with a smile.
, making a "please" gesture.
"Enter the palace? This..."
Li Xianzheng secretly suspected the purpose of Li Xian's arrival at this time. When he heard Li Xian's suggestion, he was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Li Xian at a loss and muttered without knowing what he meant.
"It's getting late. If you stay too late, I'm afraid my father will have to take a lunch break. Let's go. We'll discuss it on the way."
Li Xian winked in a pretense of mystery, and urged with a smile.
"Well, you seventh brother, it's already this time, and you still have the heart to make a fuss. I can't tell you clearly what's going on. That's it. That's all. I'm afraid of you as a brother."
Li Xian looked at Li Xian suspiciously for a while. Seeing that Li Xian just smiled faintly but refused to explain the reason, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't dare to refuse Li Xian's invitation, helplessly.
He shook his head, smiled bitterly and said something to Li Xian, then went to change his clothes without mentioning it.
"Seventh brother, let's talk about it. What do you mean by this? Don't call me playing riddles for my brother."
After all, Li Xian was impatient and couldn't hide things in his heart. As soon as he got on the carriage, he couldn't wait to ask questions before the curtain fell.
"It's a good thing, Sixth Brother has taken good care of it himself."
Li Xian was anxious, but Li Xian was not anxious at all. He looked at Li Xian with a smile for a long time, which almost made him hairy. Then he shook his hand and took out a book from his wide sleeve.
The yellow silk fold was held in both hands and handed to Li Xian.
"Seventh brother, you, you..., how can you bear this as a brother? As a brother, as a brother..."
Li Xian's curiosity had already been piqued by Li Xian. As soon as he took the fold, he immediately opened it and browsed it quickly. His face instantly turned red and he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
Although there are many words in this chapter, they can be summed up to one meaning, that is, Li Xian fully recommended Li Xian as the crown prince.
"Sixth brother, I have already said that among all the brothers, only sixth brother is worthy of the East Palace position. If others want to get involved, I will not let them go!" Before Li Xian could express his feelings, Li Xian said
His face became solemn, and he began to curse with utmost sincerity.
"Seventh brother, it's hard for you. As a brother, as a brother, I will never forget the help of the seventh brother. It's just, well, it's just the eighth uncle and the others..."
Li Xian was trembling with excitement. After a while, he calmed down a little. After saying a few polite words, he suddenly remembered the thirteenth prince's joint signature on the book, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy again.
"Sixth brother, my younger brother has already said that the eighth uncle is a variable. Hey, don't worry. This matter is caused by the father's instructions. His intentions are well-intentioned. It is not only the sixth brother who is tested, but also my younger brother." Li
He smiled brightly and gave a shocking answer.
"Ah, this, where do you start talking about this?"
Upon hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xian's eyes widened immediately, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's very simple. My father mentioned my little brother in front of my eighth uncle many times earlier, which was a hint to my eighth uncle that he came to this chapter just to see what your brother's reaction would be. If you and my brother really got into trouble because of this,
If so, I am afraid that I will suffer the fate of being abandoned by both parties. If the sixth brother is tolerant and the younger brother is aggressive, then the official position is the only feasible way for the younger brother. The reason for this is that the father really couldn't bear to see Cheng Qian.
The incident between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei has happened again, and my father’s intentions can be described as good."
Li Xian knew very well that Li Xian could not hide things in his heart, and he did not want to prematurely analyze the Yue King's calculations on him, so he gave half-truths and half-false excuses such as the Emperor's good intentions.
"It turned out to be like this. Then who does the emperor want to appoint? Is it really Xiaoba?"
Li Xian was surrounded by Li Xian's clouds, mountains and fog, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. His face changed and he pondered for a long time, and then he asked with a puzzled face.
"Hey, Sixth Brother is wrong. It was the mother's dream to establish Xiaoba. The reason why my father kept all the thirteen princes in the court was because he was afraid that my mother would do something like this later. In my heart, the one I really wanted to establish was
There is only one, and that is you, Sixth Brother!" Upon hearing Li Xian talking about Li Xulun, Li Xian immediately curled his lips in disdain and gave Li Xian a positive answer with emotion.
"This, how is this, how is it possible? For brother, for brother..."
When Li Xian was excited, his mouth immediately became crooked, his lips trembled non-stop, and he murmured randomly, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Of course it's impossible! It's just a lie. If you always want to believe it, we can't help it. Seeing Li Xian's nose and mouth twisted with excitement, Li Xian secretly sneered in his heart, but he didn't say anything more and just smiled calmly.
It's just that there's a bit more chill in the smile...
