In addition to Emperor Tiancheng in the side hall, there are also King Su, King Rui, and Jialan, the prince of the Southern Wang.

He Linwan and Li Yu stepped forward to salute.

Emperor Tiancheng sat on the top, staring condescendingly at Li Yu kneeling in the hall, his expression was a little unpredictable, and after they finished saluting, they did not say anything for a long time.

He Linwan knelt behind Li Yu and honestly bowed his head. I don't know how long it took before I heard a gentle voice from above, "Get up." ”

He Linwan and Li Yu got up.

Emperor Tiancheng looked at Li Yu with a smile, "After leaving Beijing for a few years, Yu'er has grown more and more, I look at the recent report from Donglin, your name will appear five or six times out of ten, and you now have a very high prestige in the army." ”

Li Yu bowed his hand and said in a humble tone, "It's all cultivated by His Majesty." ”

The fifth prince glanced at Li Yu, pursed his lips with some disdain, and then glanced at He Linwan, and his disdain for Li Yu immediately turned into resentment.

Emperor Tiancheng smiled, did not mention the matter in the army, he looked at He Linwan, and said to Li Yu in the tone of an elder: "I have long hoped that you can start a family, and now that you have returned to Beijing, the wedding date should be set as soon as possible, and I will let the Ministry of Rites discuss a date later." ”

Li Yu glanced at He Linwan, looked indifferent, and saluted again, "It's all up to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Tiancheng nodded with satisfaction, and did not mean to ask He Linwan.

At this time, the prince of Nanwang on the side saluted Emperor Tiancheng, "Your Majesty, Jialan has something to ask for." ”

Emperor Tiancheng smiled, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Nanwang Shizi suddenly turned to face Li Yu, and his momentum skyrocketed in an instant, and his eyes were fierce, "I want to duel with Wang Shizi of Hengyang." ”

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

Emperor Tiancheng frowned and disagreed: "Your marriage with Chunyang is ten days later, how can you duel with the prince of Hengyang at this time?"

Nanwang Shizi looked angry, raised his hand and pointed at Li Yu and said, "He, just shot and seriously injured the princess, the princess is my fiancée, his behavior is a great humiliation to me, only by dueling with him can this shame be washed away." I beg Your Majesty to fulfill it!"

Emperor Tiancheng glanced at Li Yu, and at this time, Liu Quanyou stepped forward and whispered a few words in Emperor Tiancheng's ear, as if he was reporting what had just happened in the Criminal Prison Division.

Emperor Tiancheng's face turned cold, "Yu'er, how can you be so ignorant." If there is anything wrong with Chunyang and Huyang, you can report it to me or the queen to deal with it, and now you will injure Chunyang, if you miss the marriage with Dajiguo, is it child's play?"

King Rui looked angry on the side, "It's really not a gentleman's act to attack a weak woman! Li Yu, you are so shameless!"

Only then did Li Yu say with some doubts: "Weak woman, who is His Royal Highness King Rui referring to? Could it be that the two princesses who broke into the prison department with a group of minions and shouted at my weak fiancée?"

Weak fiancée He Linwan: "......"

King Rui opened his mouth, and for a moment he was a little short of words.

Li Yu saluted Emperor Tiancheng again, "Your Majesty, the minister saw his fiancée being bullied today, and he was angry for a moment before he moved. The two princesses looked fierce at that time...... Shu Chen really didn't recognize it, so that he was injured by mistake, not intentionally. ”

At this time, Emperor Tiancheng was also silent.

Nanwang Shizi didn't expect Li Yu to be so shameless, and said angrily: "You, you are quibbling! Don't you dare to duel with me?"

Li Yu smiled slightly at the prince of Nanwang and said gracefully: "I don't like to do it, it's too rude." And the marriage between the two countries is imminent, and Yu does not want to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries because of the duel. ”

Everyone present thought: Your face is really big.

Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, King Su stood up and became an old peacemaker, "Today's matter, I'm afraid that Chunyang and Huyang are also at fault." The prince of Nanwang and the prince of Hengyang are both people who are about to get married, and at this time, the duel hurt the harmony between relatives, not to mention, it is not very auspicious to use force, so it is better to think of something else to solve it. ”

Emperor Tiancheng also seems to want to make a big thing small: "Well, it makes sense. ”

Although the prince of Nanwang was unwilling, he still had to give Emperor Tiancheng's face, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, this fight can not be fought for the time being." But if I don't bother with him about him hurting my fiancée, on the day I marry the princess, he has to personally send my relatives out of the city, to show the affection between us, the rules of our country, women are like clothes, brothers are like siblings, only the closest brothers can teach each other's women on their behalf. Otherwise, even if I can endure this matter, my people will be dissatisfied, and I am afraid that the marriage between the two countries will make waves. ”

Emperor Tiancheng nodded and looked at Li Yu, "This request is not too much." ”

King Rui and King Su also nodded in agreement.

He Linwan couldn't help but glance at Li Yu, after talking for so long, it turned out that this was the purpose.

Presumably, the prince of Nanwang didn't really want to duel with Li Yu at the beginning, and Li Yu should also know this, so he would have a casual fight with them at the beginning, until they said their true purpose - they wanted Li Yu to go out of the city with the team.

As a person who sent relatives, Li Yu naturally couldn't bring more of his own personal guards. And when the time comes, Emperor Tiancheng will send an army to the imperial court to send Chunyang to Daji, which is tantamount to making Li Yu surrounded by Emperor Tiancheng's army and fall into an isolated and helpless place.

This bureau must have been arranged early in the morning, and the beating of Chunyang and Huyang was just an excuse, even if it wasn't like this, they would have come up with other ways to force Li Yu into the trap.

Li Yu returned to Beijing from Donglin this time, and he should have brought a lot of people, but even so, presumably the road will not be peaceful, and Ning Jiangbo has not returned to Beijing so far, which is the best proof. Li Yu didn't mention his hard work along the way to He Linwan, but how could He Linwan not guess?

At this moment, He Linwan felt a little sorry for Li Yu.

"Can the closest brother do something to the other party's woman?" Li Yu thought for a moment and said.

Everyone didn't expect that he was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth to ask this, not about going out of the city to send off his relatives.

Nanwang Shizi didn't know why, and nodded, "This is the rule of our clan, yes! In my clan, when a man goes out to fight, he will entrust the women and children of the family to his most trusted brothers and friends to take care of him, so that he can have no worries and be brave when fighting." It is not only care, but also a lesson. ”

Li Yu glanced at the prince of Nanwang and said with a smile: "We still don't have to be brothers." ”

Nanwang Shizi thought that Li Yu didn't look down on him, his face changed, and he wanted to pull out the knife when he put his hand on his waist, but fortunately, when he entered the hall, the knife had been taken off and pulled out.

Emperor Tiancheng thought that Li Yu was refusing to send his relatives in disguise, squinted slightly, and was about to exert pressure, but he heard Li Yu continue: "But I agreed to send my relatives." ”
