As soon as the words came out, Li Hong found three pairs of eyes staring at him together.

Especially Empress Wu and Li Zhi, their eyes were burning, which made Li Hong's heart uneasy.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

After a moment, Li Zhi spoke.

"Hong'er, what did you say?"

The voice was calm, but Li Hong could hear the obvious displeasure in it.

After all, Li Zhi was for Li Hong's reputation, but now it was Li Hong who came forward to stop him, and he couldn't help but feel a little kind in his heart as a donkey's liver and lungs.

But Li Hong didn't know this, he didn't dare to stop it before, just because he took this into account, afraid that Li Zhi would misunderstand what kind of unclear relationship he had with Helan Minyue.

Although the two of them had a scene in Zichen Hall last time, Li Hong knew that the emperor knew in his heart that it was a helpless solution, and he would not care.

But if he comes out this time, he can't tell.

But since he promised Helan Minyue to stop this marriage, he will definitely do it.

What's more, Li Zhi said that once the words are spoken, it will be difficult to take them back.

So even though he knew that Li Zhi would be unhappy because of this, Li Hong still had to bite the bullet to stop Li Zhi from continuing.

In fact, Li Hong was a little glad that he was here now, otherwise if Empress Wu had directly agreed with Li Zhi on this matter, it would have been too late by the time the decree was issued.

However, things came so quickly, which caught Li Hong a little off guard.

Looking at Li Zhi's increasingly unkind gaze, Li Hong hurriedly organized the wording in his heart.

"Father, this matter is a major marriage matter, and it is better to consider it carefully, not to mention that my father just said that now Minyue is still in the filial piety period, and it is not appropriate to talk about marriage, this matter may as well be postponed, and then the discussion will be made after the period of Minyue's filial piety."

Li Hong searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, but he could only find such a reason, and started the word "drag".

God, he was originally only thinking about how to deal with Empress Wu, but if he was against this matter in his capacity, Empress Wu would not be able to say anything even if he was unwilling in his heart.

Who knows that Empress Wu actually moved Li Zhi in a few words, how can it be good now.

Li Hong was sweating profusely.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Li Hong's reason, Li Zhi's face became even darker.

"Is it really because Minyue is Dai Xiao's body?"

Li Zhi asked in a deep voice.

Although he already knew the inside story, thinking of the rumors circulating in Chang'an City these days, coupled with Li Hong's performance today, Li Zhi couldn't help but doubt in his heart.

Li Hong couldn't find a reason for a while, so he had to bow his head weakly.

"Hong'er, Minyue is Minzhi's sister after all!"

Seeing this scene, Li Zhi was anxious, and said with a bit of hatred that iron is not steel.

"What's more, now that Min Zhi has just died, you are like this, if it spreads, what is the difference between those arrogant and domineering children!"

Li Zhi's angry voice echoed throughout the hall.

But it made Li Hong feel a burst of warmth in his heart, and now, Li Zhi is still worried about his reputation, rather than angry that he just contradicted him.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Hong calmed down and said in a deep voice.

"Father, now everyone knows that Erchen and Minyue's cousin are truly in love with each other, and a few days ago they even asked their father for marriage, if the father allows Minyue and the heir to marry at this moment, it will inevitably damage the prestige of the father, and I am afraid that there will be more rumors in the market......"

Since Daddy cares about his reputation, it's easy to do!

Li Hong generously moved out the pretense of "true love", although he didn't say it explicitly, but with Li Zhi's sophistication, how could he not hear what Li Hong meant.

Previously, in order to remedy the farce in the East Palace, Li Hong asked him to accompany him in a big play, just to take care of Li Hong's reputation, for which Li Zhi even did not hesitate to sacrifice his reputation.

Unexpectedly, now it has become a bargaining chip in Li Hong's hand.

made Li Zhi depressed for a while.

However, what Li Hong said also makes sense, now people outside know that he rejected the marriage between Li Hong and Helan Minyue, if he gives marriage to Wu Chenghei now, it seems to be deliberately covering up something, I am afraid that it is even more unclear between Li Hong and Helan Minyue.

Li Zhi groaned for a while and turned his head to look at Empress Wu.

"Mei Niang, what do you think?"

"It's just rumors, when Minyue really marries Chenghei, these rumors will naturally disappear gradually, but Hong'er, who has been in and out of Helan Mansion recently, has not caused so many rumors."

Empress Wufeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with a little indifference.

"No, no!"

Li Zhi frowned and waved his hand again and again.

"In this way, the matter of giving marriage will be postponed and then discussed, and you must listen to Minyue's meaning, and give the title of Duke of Zhou Guo first!"

Empress Wu frowned, and reluctantly agreed to this method.

Anyway, Helan Minyue can't make much waves for her, it's just to make Wu Chenghei more justified when he inherits this title.

"Everything is up to Your Majesty."

In front of Li Zhi, Empress Wu has always been very gentle and never shows her strong side, perhaps this is the reason why she has been able to hold the throne of the queen for so many years, and almost never has a head-on conflict with Li Zhi.

"Okay, it's getting late, so you'll go back first."

Li Zhi held his forehead and said lightly.

Li Hong thought that if things didn't work out, Wu Chengsi would argue a few more words, but he didn't expect this kid to look deferential and retreat.

However, when he was leaving, his eyes flashed fiercely, but it made Li Hong feel shocked.

This kid is really much more difficult to deal with than Helan Minyue, he is well informed, understands his position, and is as smooth as a fox.

When he saw that something was wrong, he withdrew decisively, and he never dragged his feet in the mud, but he was a character!

In all fairness, if it is a change of place, I am afraid that most people will never be able to give up the marriage contract with Helan Minyue so decisively, after all, Li Zhi's attitude is very unstable at the moment, and it seems that as long as he continues to persuade him, it is possible to let him agree, even if he can't give marriage now, he may also get a chance in three years.

You must know that Wu Chenghei came to ask for a kiss is Mrs. Rongguo's meaning, and with this article, it seems that it is not impossible to fight on the basis of reason.

If ordinary people are afraid that they can't let go of such a big piece of fat as the Helan family, but when the huge interests are placed in front of them, many people will subconsciously ignore the danger and eventually destroy themselves.

But Wu Chengsi is obviously very able to understand the situation, he does have the support of Mrs. Rongguo in his hands, and Empress Wu is also trying his best to promote this matter, but in the final analysis, he Wu Chengsi is just a civilian now.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for the identity of the queen's nephew, anyone could kill him casually, so although he had a reason to speak, he had no status to speak.

To put it bluntly, there is an emperor and a queen in the hall, plus a crown prince, none of which he can compare.

The result of forcibly interfering without self-determination will only be to break his bones, and the Empress Wu is not the only nephew, so Wu Chengsi left very interestingly, at least this will make the emperor feel that he is very obedient, and the title of Duke of Zhou will definitely not be able to run away.

Being able to know advance and retreat, this sentence is easier said than done, and you can still stay calm in the face of huge interests, and you can make correct judgments, this person is definitely not easy to deal with!

Li Hong secretly raised the danger level of Wu Chenghei by a level in his heart.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Hong realized that Wu Chengsi had gone away, and hurriedly retired to Li Zhi.

"Father, it's getting late, and my sons are ......"

"Hong'er, you stay, I have something to say to you!"
