Chapter 997: Cowardly Li Zhi
It is not a big deal to say that the two sons are fighting, but the key is that Li Shimin is the emperor, Li Chengqian and Li Tai are the princes, and they are fighting in front of the queen's spirit, this impact is too bad, so after Li Xiu came here, the first thing he did was to block the news.
Li Shimin reprimanded Li Chengqian, and slapped Li Tai, and finally punished the two of them to kneel in front of the spirit of the eldest grandson queen, and they were not allowed to eat for three days, for this punishment, Li Chengqian and Li Tai did not dare to say anything, but Li Xiu was worried that Li Chengqian's body could not stand it, after all, he had fainted from hunger once a few days ago, so he wanted to help him intercede, but Li Shimin refused.
In the face of this situation, Li Xiu has no choice, after all, his son belongs to someone else, of course, Li Shimin is also angry now, it is really not a good time to intercede, it is estimated that after this anger subsides, there should be a great chance to help Li Chengqian intercede.
Li Shimin was very ill, and after dealing with his two sons, his body couldn't stand it, and in the end, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji personally helped him to go to the dragon bowl, and then the imperial doctor took care of him and returned to the Ganlu Hall to recuperate.
"Brother Li, thanks to your timely arrival, you didn't let the crown prince and King Wei do anything!" After sending Li Shimin away, the eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Chengqian and Li Tai who were kneeling in front of the spirit, and then said to Li Xiu.
"Brother Wuji Xie is the wrong person, when I came, the prince and the king of Wei had already been stopped, and I bet that Brother Wuji probably dreamed of who this person was!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.
"Already stopped?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the Stopping Spirit Hall, except for Li Chengqian and Li Tai who were kneeling there, there was only Li Zhi who was young and hiding behind Li Xiu, as for Li Zhen and the others, there was no one else tonight.
After looking around at the Stopping Spirit Hall, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't figure out for a while who had the courage to stop Li Chengqian and Li Tai? As for Li Zhi, he was not in his consideration at all, first, Li Zhi's age was too young, and second, Li Zhi's personality was a little cowardly, which the eldest grandson Wuji knew better than anyone else.
Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji really ignored Li Zhi, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile slightly, and then pulled Li Zhi out from behind and said: "It seems that Brother Wuji is really the same as me, he has neglected the pheasant slave, when I came, the pheasant slave forcibly ordered the guards to separate Cheng Qian and Li Tai, so this time we should be most grateful to the pheasant slave!" ”
"Pheasant slave?" Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Li Xiu's answer, and then looked at the pheasant slave who had just arrived at Li Xiu's waist with an incredible face, if Li Xiu hadn't said it himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't have dared to believe that Li Zhi would have such courage anyway.
It was also the first time that Li Zhi was stared at like this by his own uncle, and he also showed a little embarrassed look at the moment, but at this time, Li Xiu smiled and said: "Pheasant slave, I have been wanting to ask you just now, how can you have so much courage to separate your brother?" ”
"I ...... I saw that the eldest brother was going to fight the fourth brother, and the fourth brother was also ready to fight back, at that time I was very scared, worried that they would be injured, so I ordered the guards to separate them, at first the guards did not dare to move, until I shouted that if the eldest brother and the fourth brother were injured, they would not be able to get out of the relationship, which gave them the courage to step forward. Li Zhi explained a little embarrassed at this time, but it was no different from what Li Xiu had guessed before.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to grow up, pheasant slave, if the queen has a spirit in the sky, she will definitely be proud of such a sensible son as you!" The eldest grandson Wuji also said with some emotion at this time, and when he said this, he also touched Li Zhi's little head affectionately.
Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji praising Li Zhi, Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian kneeling there in the hall, he had already fainted from hunger once before, and now he was also very thin, and the back kneeling there was also very thin, which made Li Xiu even more worried about whether his body could hold on?
The matter has been resolved, Li Shimin still left a few guards around him to keep an eye on Li Chengqian and Li Tai on his behalf, and it has been three watches at this time, Li Xiu also felt sleepy and tired at this time, so he was ready to go back to rest, and the eldest grandson Wuji also had the same meaning.
"Sir, I'm ...... Can I go to rest with you? But just as Li Xiu was about to leave, he suddenly saw Li Zhi grabbing the corner of his clothes, and then said with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Huh? You're not here anymore? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Li Zhi's appearance, a few days ago, Princess Pingyang had always wanted Li Zhi to go home with her to rest, after all, Li Zhi was too young, Li Chengqian and Li Tai didn't need it at all, but he insisted on staying in the mourning hall to accompany his mother, which made Princess Pingyang helpless, and then Li Xiu persuaded him several times, Li Zhi also refused, but he didn't expect that now he offered to leave with him.
"I ...... I don't dare to stay here, although the eldest brother won't blame me, but the fourth brother is not, so I'd better stay away. At this time, Li Zhi peeked at Li Chengqian and Li Taidao in the mourning hall.
Li Tai has a high personality and is narrow-minded, even the young Li Zhi knows this very well, before he asked the guards to forcibly separate the two, Li Chengqian may not blame him for this, but Li Tai is not necessarily, so Li Zhi does not dare to stay here.
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but look at Li Tai who was kneeling there with their backs to them, and then the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a little pity in each other's eyes, because although Li Tai wanted to compete with Li Chengqian for the throne, and usually tried his best to show himself in front of Li Shimin, but his character flaws were too obvious, as long as Li Shimin did not faint, he was destined to be a bamboo basket in the future.
"Okay, then you can go back to the financial prison with me to rest, but the conditions on my side are very ordinary, far less comfortable than your dormitory, so I think it is better to send you to your dormitory, right?" Li Xiu nodded at first, and then thought that Li Zhi was already living in the palace, so he proposed again.
"The pheasant slave is still too young, and the queen has just died, so it's too lonely for him to live in the palace alone, but the financial supervisor is indeed a little too simple, so I think it's better to let the pheasant slave go back with me, just so that you can sleep with your cousin, so that it won't be too lonely." As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, he suddenly saw the eldest grandson Wuji speak first, and his eyes looking at Li Zhi were also full of love.
However, Li Xiu was stunned when he saw the expression of the eldest grandson Wuji at this time, and then he couldn't help but be alert, because he found that the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji looking at Li Zhi seemed to only appear when he saw Li Chengqian before.
