Both of them knew that if there was really a conflict, no one would please anyone, and besides, Li Hongji, the king of Yan, had led troops, and if there was a real fight, the king of Qi would naturally suffer. Therefore, the king of Qi would rather the king of Yan meet the saint in person to settle the matter.

And King Yan didn't want to clash with King Qi, his current goal was to get rid of Yang Lian, so he didn't want to make any extraneous trouble. And in any case, King Qi is still the emperor's younger brother and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, if he really openly resists, I am afraid that some ministers in the court will be dissatisfied, and he will not support him to become the crown prince in the future. Li Hongji can only slowly figure it out.

"Go and go, this king is afraid of you?" Yan Wang Li Hongji also seems to be very confident.

"Let's go!" Li Jingsui didn't say much, and immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards the imperial city.

Li Hongji asked people to bring the war horse, jumped up, and followed behind. Princess Huairou thought about it and followed closely. Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie were worried about the safety of King Qi and Huairou, so they escorted them.

When the group arrived at the imperial city, it was already the middle of the day, the gate had been closed, the king of Qi called the door open, and the group rushed towards the back court of the palace.

At this time, Li Jing was talking about things in Queen Zhong's bedroom, and what made Li Jing unable to let go of his mind recently was Yang Lian's matter, he knew that Yang Lian was a stubborn person, but Princess Huairou was also a stubborn person, if Yang Lian really didn't agree to dissolve the marriage contract with Zeng Yiling, would he really want to kill Yang Lian?

In the past few years, although Datang has also won on the battlefield, many times, the potatoes in hand still fly. Among so many people, only Yang Lian is reliable, which makes Li Jing feel that Yang Lian has a great future and is also a person who can be relied on. So, it made him embarrassed.

came to Queen Zhong's bedroom and talked to Queen Zhong for a while, Queen Zhong didn't know what had happened recently, so she mentioned the marriage between Yang Lian and Huairou. After all, she is a dignified princess, and she is very favored by her uncle and aunt, so Queen Zhong feels that she should pay more attention.

When Empress Zhong asked this, Li Jing couldn't help but feel that her head was big, so she told the matter. Empress Zhong couldn't help but feel surprised that Yang Lian actually had a fiancée who had not seen her for many years, which was too much of a coincidence. The two talked for a while, but there was no result, after all, they were all considering the problem from their own point of view. Who knows what Yang Lian and Princess Huairou are thinking?

When the conversation was having fun, Gao Ze hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Majesty, King Qi and King Yan have something to ask to see." ”

"What is the matter with them coming at this time?" Li Jing was stunned, it is no secret that the two have always been at odds, when did the two get so good that they entered the palace together?

"This, the old slave doesn't know, but Princess Huairou is also here." Gao Ze added.

"Your Majesty, state affairs are important, let's meet them!" Empress Zhong said.

Li Jing felt that it was not a state affair, and the two of them did not talk about being together at all, not to mention that there was a princess Huairou. After thinking about it, he said, "Bring them in." ”

Gao Ze nodded and retreated, "Oh! ”

Empress Zhong said curiously: "Your Majesty, do you have to deal with things here?" Then the concubine retired. ”

"Zitong, don't go, they are here, it should be a family matter." Li Jing waved his hand.

Empress Zhong sat cross-legged and waited.

A moment later, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, Li Hongji, the king of Yan, and Princess Huairou walked in under the leadership of Gao Ze.

"The younger brother has seen the royal brother and the imperial sister-in-law." Li Jing, the king of Qi, said with a gift.

Li Hongji hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "Erchen has seen the father and the queen mother. ”

The two followed the rules, but Princess Huairou did not follow the usual path, she stepped forward, tears were about to drip in her eyes, and said: "Uncle, aunt, you have to make decisions for Huairou." ”

"What's going on?" Empress Zhong asked, and while speaking, she took Princess Huairou's hand, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly spread out her hand, only to see that there were blood marks on Princess Huairou's white and tender palm.

"Ah, what's going on?" Empress Zhong shouted.

Li Jing also turned his head to look, and saw that Princess Huairou's hands were full of blood, so he said with concern: "Huairou, where did these scars come from?" ”

"Uncle, aunt, it was Huairou who accidentally got it." Princess Huairou said.

"Nonsense, how can anyone make it like this." Empress Zhong said.

Li Jing reacted relatively quickly, frowned, looked at King Qi, and said, "King Qi, what's going on?" ”

"Brother Huang, Yang Lian was assassinated today, Huairou was concerned about the chaos, so he went to Yanwang's Mansion, but unexpectedly there was a conflict with the guards, if it wasn't for the younger brother to come in time, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable!" Li Jingsui said.

Li Jing's face became gloomy, staring at Li Hongji, the king of Yan, and asked, "King Yan, is that so?" ”

Li Hongji hesitated and said, "That's pretty much it. ”

"Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean?" Li Jing is very dissatisfied, and what his son has done recently has made him very angry.

Li Hongji had to nod his head and said, "That's roughly the case." ”

Li Jing snorted coldly, and he didn't care about him, just admit it. Empress Zhong glanced at her son in some surprise.

"King Qi, it's your uncle, Huairou, it's your sister. King Yan, what exactly do you want to do? Is family affection worthless in your eyes? Li Jing asked.

Li Hongji shook his head, thinking about it, it was not right, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Father, this is not what the son meant. ”

"And what do you mean?" Li Jing stood up suddenly, his eyes were almost spewing fire, staring at his son deadly, and said, "You are deceiving the heavens and the earth, do you really think I don't know?" I'm not blind, I can't see anything! ”

Li Jing's sudden anger made Li Jingsui, Huairou, and Empress Zhong a little stunned, and even Li Hongji didn't know what offended his father.

"You, you, relying on my favor in you, have no king's law. That woman who was only a brothel, why did you rob her? Could it be that in your eyes, the children of those ministers in the court are not as good as a woman in a brothel? That Yang Lian is also a hero of the Tang Dynasty, this time in and out of the Han Kingdom, it can be described as nine deaths, but you sent someone to assassinate him, is it to fall into injustice? Li Jing scolded loudly.

Li Hongji was stunned, on the one hand, he didn't know that his father had offended so much, and on the other hand, he couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly said: "Father, my son is wronged." ”

"Wronged? You still deceived me, do you really think that I paint and write poetry every day and do nothing? That Zeng Yiling, Yang Lian is an outsider, so that's it. But even Huairou didn't let you go, is your heart a wolf's heart? Li Jing scolded again.

Li Hongji kowtowed again and again, and said, "Father, the sons and daughters don't dare, don't dare!" ”

"Don't dare? You've done everything, why don't you dare! I'm afraid that in a few days, will you kill the king and do that disloyal and unfilial thing?! Li Jing asked again.

Li Hongji lowered his head, he didn't expect things to come to such a point, but he couldn't bear the anger of the Son of Heaven.

Empress Zhong listened to it and understood a little, but after all, it was her own son, and she still loved it in her heart, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, King Yan is still young, and it is inevitable that he will be impulsive and impulsive, Your Majesty ......"

"A loving mother is a loser!" Li Jing interrupted Empress Zhong's words.

When Empress Zhong saw that her husband was so angry, she kept her mouth shut, and persuading him at this time was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, so she immediately shut up.

After Li Jing scolded a few words, his mood was relieved, and seeing that Li Hongji didn't speak, his heart also softened a little, paced and thought for a while, and said, "After thinking about it, you better leave Jinling as soon as possible." ”

Li Hongji was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was about to leave the power center of Jinling, he had to smile bitterly in his heart, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, father." ”

"You, stand down first." Li Jing waved his hand, feeling a little tired and tired.

Li Hongji saluted, stood up, and withdrew. This time, not only did he not get the desired result, but he was strictly ordered to leave Jinling, which was really a big loss.

When Princess Huairou saw that King Yan was reprimanded, she was naturally overjoyed. However, Li Jingsui has a relatively cowardly personality, and he feels that the relationship between the two fathers and sons is stiff, but it is not good, and he doesn't understand why the imperial brother suddenly became so angry, he thought about it and said: "Imperial brother, King Yan is young after all, so is it too heavy." ”

"You're soft-hearted." Li Jing sighed slightly, sat down slowly, took a few sips of tea, and said for a long time just now, he was a little thirsty.

"There are some things, it's normal that you don't know, in short, what King Yan did made me very cold." Li Jing said.

Since the imperial brother said so, Li Jingsui also kept silent, but Princess Huairou asked curiously: "Uncle, what is the secret of Brother Yan Wang?" "I look puzzled.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Huairou, it's always good if you don't know these things." As he spoke, he looked at Li Jingsui and asked, "You met Yang Lian today, how is his condition?" ”

"The injury is not serious, but I was poisoned, and now the poison has been cleaned up, and the medicine has been applied, and my life is not in serious trouble, I am afraid that I will have to rest for a few days." Li Jing, the king of Qi, replied.

Li Jing nodded, there were some things he wanted to say, but he felt that Huairou was there, and it was inconvenient to mention it, so he didn't say anything. just said: "Other things, wait for Yang Lian to recover from his injury, let's talk about it." ”

"Whoa!" Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, replied.

As soon as the matter came to an end, Li Jing let go of his heart, and now he expelled King Yan from Jinling, but it is also a good thing, at least he will not quarrel with King Qi again, and when King Qi ascends the throne, with his good heart, he will definitely treat King Yan well, so that Li Jing will have no regrets.

Empress Zhong saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, so she smiled and said, "Huairou, if you enter the palace tomorrow, your aunt has something to say to you." ”

"Yes, aunt!" Princess Huairou said, and couldn't help but be curious.

A few people chatted for a while, most of them were family matters, and it wasn't until the middle of the day that Li Jingsui stood up and said, "Imperial brother, imperial sister-in-law, it's not early, and the younger brother has retired." ”

"King Qi, you bring some gifts tomorrow to comfort Yang Lian. In addition, there are some good ginseng in my palace, you can take some to Yang Lian, I hope he recovers as soon as possible. Li Jing said.

"Whoa!" Li Jingsui agreed and retreated with Huairou.

In the room, Li Jing and Empress Zhong were left, Li Jing let out a long sigh, he hoped that King Qi and King Yan would calm down from now on, otherwise, he would only have a strong man break his wrist and take one of them. (To be continued.) )
