Chapter 18: The Emperor's Heart is Unpredictable and Suspicious

"Hey...... Ji Gongzi is here, the emperor is angry, you hurry up and persuade him. The great eunuch Liu Gonggong looked at Ji Lingchen who was dressed in red and hurriedly greeted him.

Ji Lingchen didn't say anything, but the steps under his feet unconsciously sped up a little. As soon as he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he heard the sound of tea bowls smashing inside.

"Whatever anger you have, get out of here." Immediately after Li Heng's angry voice, Ji Lingchen was displeased, but his face was still full of smiles and walked in.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Ji Lingchen asked as he walked in with tenderness on his face.

When Li Heng saw Ji Lingchen coming in, the anger on his face decreased a lot and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Ji Lingchen walked over, picked up the fold on the ground, and consciously glanced at it and said, "Which adult who is not long-eyed, this marriage just given by His Majesty came out to sing the opposite." ”

Ji Lingchen picked up all the pieces on the ground and found that most of them were against Prince Gong's marriage.

Li Heng was extremely displeased: "This married person has no opinion, they ...... All of them were red-eyed, it was really hateful. I am the Son of Heaven, but look at it, do they still have me as the Son of Heaven in their eyes? ”

Ji Lingchen took a cup of tea and handed it to Li Huan and said, "Your Majesty is angry, why bother with those civil officials." ”

Li Huan took the tea and took a sip, still feeling angry and said: "Don't you see, they just joined forces one by one to put pressure on me, which is a good word, for the sake of the ancestors' foundation and for the people of the Jin Kingdom." I just gave my brother a family business, this is my family business after all, don't I even have this power? ”

Ji Lingchen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the whole world is yours, you can naturally do whatever you want." ”

Li Huan smiled bitterly and mocked himself: "Anything is fine, I ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and it has been ten years now, but how many times have I been able to be the master of my own time in the past ten years?" When I first ascended the throne, the Taifu, the Queen Mother, none of those civil servants were staring at me, they wanted me to be the monarch of the virtuous people, to be an example for everyone in the world, and they used standards that they couldn't do to ask me. It doesn't rain, it's because I'm not benevolent and don't understand the suffering of the people, it's raining all the time, it's my virtue and I blame it, I ...... I am a pawn they have placed on this throne for others to manipulate......"

In the end, Li Huan said that the whole person was completely out of shape, as if he had completely become another person, one was no longer a high-ranking son of heaven, but an ordinary person, with thousands of sorrows, and many helpless ordinary people.

The first time Ji Lingchen heard Li Huan say such a thing, and it was also the first time he saw him so out of shape, he never thought that Li Huan would also have such a vulnerable side, and he didn't know where to comfort him for a while.

Soon, Li Huan also seemed to realize his gaffe, so he immediately returned to his usual majestic demeanor and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Ji Lingchen smiled faintly as if he had completely forgotten what had just happened, and still smiled as before and said gently: "There is nothing else, this Prince is about to get married, I heard some interesting news, and I want to relieve my boredom with Your Majesty." When I heard that, Prince Nagong was overjoyed when he received the will. not only threatened to change his past wrongs and never cause that affair again, but also spent a lot of money to invite Mr. Yiyi, the world's first skilled craftsman, to create a dowry for Miss Weili! ”

Li Heng was a little surprised after hearing this: "Oh? Is it? I still think ......? ”

"Why did Your Majesty think ......?" Ji Lingchen immediately asked, "It is said that the prodigal son will not change his money, our amorous third prince is now willing to turn back for this Wei girl, this friendship is worth ten thousand gold." ”

Li Huan was silent, he thought that Li Xuan would be dissatisfied with this marriage, and he didn't want to say it, let these ministers be pawns, but at the moment, it seems that this is not the case.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......" Looking at Li Heng, who was silent and thoughtful, Ji Lingchen called out.

Li Heng came back to his senses and said, "I remember that you have always been at odds with Prince Gong, how can you pay attention to his affairs?" ”

Ji Lingchen hid his face and made a crying and said: "This royal marriage is a big deal, not to mention that he is His Majesty's most beloved brother, even if I am not sensible, I will help Your Majesty pay more attention." ”

Li Huan smiled "haha", put his arm around Ji Lingchen's shoulders and said, "It's not right, I'm too worried...... Hey...... You smell so good, I feel that this smell is different from before. ”

Ji Lingchen said: "With some soothing herbs, doesn't Your Majesty always say that you have a headache?" ”

Li Heng took a deep breath and said, "Well, it does have a calming effect, and I feel a lot calmer." ”

Ji Lingchen asked tentatively: "Your Majesty's will has been issued for a few days, and Prince Nagong has not come to thank him?" ”

Li Huan scratched his head and said, "It's strange to say, this kid hasn't entered the palace at all since he came back from Mobei." ”

Ji Lingchen said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I've been talking about the marriage before and after, so I don't have time to come." ”

Li Huan's face suddenly sank and said, "What did you just say?" ”

Ji Lingchen didn't know, so he said suspiciously: "I said, the third prince has been asking for a marriage and is not available." ”

Li Huan said: "No, what you said before was that you had been talking about marriage. ”

"So what?" Ji Lingchen asked.

Li Huan snorted thoughtfully and coldly said, "Come here, Prince Xuangong Li Xuan will come to see you." ”

Gonggong Liu immediately arranged for the chamberlain to go to Prince Gong's mansion to deliver the decree, and he didn't dare to delay in the slightest way, but even so, Li Huan still waited for Li Xuan for four hours.

"You, you...... What did you do? Li Heng on the dragon chair said angrily with a dissatisfied face.

Li Xuan was a little surprised and said, "As soon as the younger brother received the holy decree, he came over?" ”

Li Huan said unhappily: "I'm asking you why you don't stay in the palace well?" ”

Li Xuan immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "The younger brother has been busy preparing for the marriage recently, so he is not in the palace, and I hope that the imperial brother will forgive his sins." ”

"Oh, really?" Li Huan looked at Li Xuan meaningfully and said suspiciously.

Li Xuan immediately knelt down and said, "The younger brother is guilty, he shouldn't be obsessed with the love of his children and forget his responsibilities as a courtier." ”

Li Huan flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "I also heard that you invited Mr. Yiyi, the world's first skilled craftsman, to create a dowry for Wei Li, but is there such a thing?" ”

Li Xuan nodded and said: "But please talk about this matter carefully, this is the marriage of the imperial brother, the lady is the pearl of the palm of the Duke of Weiguo, and the younger brother is running here, also for the royal face." ”

"What a royal face, this kid hasn't seen him for a few days, and he even talks like those old things, one by one, this hasn't passed the door yet, just a lady, is there really any agreement between this kid and Wei Guogong?" Li Huan pondered in his heart for a moment, deliberately diverted the topic, looked at Li Xuan with curiosity and said, "I remember that you only have that Fang Qin in your heart, why did Mobei change his mind when he came back?" ”

Li Xuan smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "The imperial brother still doesn't know the younger brother, the younger brother can't move his legs when he sees the beauty, but the freshness is over, and that's it, besides, how can this princess of Prince Gong be an assassin in the rivers and lakes, and no matter how prodigal the younger brother is, he can't joke with the royal face." ”

"Really? I'm relieved to say that. Li Heng smiled reassuringly, but the hand holding the teacup tightened.

Li Xuan continued: "The younger brother is guilty, and he is so obsessed with Zhang Luo's marriage that he forgot to thank the imperial brother and ask the imperial brother to surrender his guilt. ”

Li Heng waved his hand and said, "Get up, what a crime, it's just ...... Although I have the heart to fulfill your couple, but recently, many ministers have written against your marriage, what do you think? ”

Li Xuan said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, the imperial brother is the son of heaven, how can they question the truth?" ”

Li Heng smiled and said, "I will arrange this matter, you can retreat first." ”

Li Xuan stepped back, and went straight to find Mo Wushuang.

The sky is full of crescent moons and stars.

In the autumn wind and falling leaves, there was a bleak flute sound, which was Mo Wushuang's "Frost Sky Dawn".

The meaning of the song is reasonable, and this sad and sad tune is not to tell the mood of the piper. After the song, Mo Wushuang's face that was originally shrouded in sadness changed, and he turned around and said, "The prince is here." ”

Li Xuan saw that he didn't want people to know what was on his mind, so he shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as Brother Mo expected, this king's suspicious brother is probably thinking about how to take back his will at this moment." ”

Mo Wushuang smiled and said, "That's great, but it's not enough right now." ”

Li Xuan said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Mo Wushuang said: "At the moment, although the emperor intends to repent, but the holy decree has been issued, even if he wants to repent, he needs a step." ”

Li Xuan asked: "What, isn't the minister's objection okay?" ”

Mo Wushuang said: "The Son of Heaven is a golden mouth, if the minister changes his will in one or two sentences, what is the majesty of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Li Xuan thought for a while and nodded, "Then in your opinion, how should you ......?"

"I'll show you how to ......"

Before he finished speaking, a scimitar had already slashed towards Mo Wushuang's right arm, and Mo Wushuang couldn't dodge, so he took the knife stiffly.

I saw a light and graceful woman standing in front of Mo Wushuang angrily.

"Why are you here?" Li Xuan grabbed her hand and said, "Wei Li, what are you doing?" ”

"Me?" Wei Li snorted coldly and said, "I'm here to see what my good husband is doing?" ”

Li Xuan stepped forward to check Mo Wushuang's injuries and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Mo Wushuang shook his head, and Li Xuan said angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and make amends to Brother Mo?" ”

Wei Li laughed and said, "Make amends, what's wrong with me?" What is he, just a guest, even if I kill him today, so what? ”

"Slap ......" Li Xuan slapped Wei Li's face.

Wei Li looked at him in disbelief and said, "You hit me? You actually beat me for this person. ”

Li Xuan was also stunned, he didn't expect that he would really make a move on Wei Li.

Wei Li smiled sadly: "I'm happily waiting to marry you, I'm happily waiting to marry you, marry you, haha......"

"Wei Li......" Li Xuan shouted softly.

Wei Li pointed to his heart and said, "Do you know what is more painful than not getting it?" It is empty rejoicing. ”

Wei Li's face was full of tears, his eyebrows and eyes were full of sadness, the whole person was shaky, and his mouth repeatedly chanted "empty joy." ”
