After wearing a book, I was forced to marry by the villain

"Uh..." Chen Yuan didn't expect his father to ask him this question, nor did he expect his father to notice that he was hugging Li Ji in such a chaotic situation at that time, so he couldn't figure out how to fool him for a while.

"Uh, what? Is this question difficult to answer?" Chen Weichang looked at him suspiciously, and warned, "You better tell me the truth, boy."

"Father, there's no reason. I'm the closest to that kid Li Ji. I acted subconsciously. If you stand next to me, I'll hug you too." Chen Yuan lied without changing his expression.

Chen Weichang looked disgusted, scolded Chen Yuan with his eyes, stared at him for a long time, and hummed: "You kid has always been good at lying, according to my years of experience, your words sound fake."

Chen Yuan had no choice but to turn on his talk skills, and said, "Father, are you not angry because I hugged my cousin and didn't hug you? Oh, dad, you are really interesting. Come on, my son will hug you now." Said He pretended to want to hug, but was kicked by Chen Weichang, and he wanted to kick. Chen Yuan hid quickly and ran away.

"You little bastard! Come back to me!" Chen Weichang yelled angrily, but there was no sign of Chen Yuan, he stared at the door with a beard blowing his beard, and looked back for a long time. For some reason, he felt that Chen Yuan deliberately Nonsense nonsense answers.

Especially the way Chen Yuan and Li Ji looked at each other was extremely weird, not so much between cousins, it was more like...

Chen Weichang didn't dare to think any further, he shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the study frowning.

Flying all the way back to his own room, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said to himself: "If you tell my father about my relationship with Li Ji..." The next moment he shook his head: "I dare not, at least not for the time being."

A servant girl outside reported that the eldest lady wanted Chen Yuan to come over, but Chen Yuan didn't respond, and went out of the room directly, and smiled at the little servant girl, "Ah Cai, what is my mother asking me to do today?"

"Master, madam misses you." A Cai smiled sweetly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan happily ran to Da Furen's place. He was obviously much more relaxed by Mother's side, sitting cross-legged on the couch, talking to Da Furen while eating snacks.

"A Yuan, what do you think about the eldest daughter of Mr. Cheng's family?" the eldest lady looked at Chen Yuan and asked.

"I've told you that there is no rush to get married." Chen Yuan frowned, "The court affairs are the most important thing right now, and we can wait until the situation is stable."

"You're not a courtier, besides, I'll feel safe when I settle down. Besides, that girl is really good-looking. Besides, she's the sister of Cheng Lian, your fellow apprentice in the academy. I think it's great."

Speaking of the academy, Chen Yuan really wanted to go back there, and he also missed Cheng Lian and the other seniors, so he said, "Mother, I almost forgot to tell you, I will go back to the academy to study in a while."

"Study?" The eldest lady was puzzled, "Didn't you say you can't go back?"

"That was before, but now I still think it's good to go to the academy, and I want to take part in the imperial examination next year, become a member of the imperial court and serve the court." Chen Yuan said impassionedly: "Mother, the so-called good man should put his career first. As my dearest mother, Li should support the child."

"It's the same as starting a family first and then starting a career." The eldest lady persuaded her kindly: "You are not too young, and it's not that you must get married right away. It's just that if you decide on this marriage, it's good that you can restrain yourself when you are doing things outside."

These words are really aimed at Chen Yuan's promiscuous behavior earlier.

Chen Yuan let out a protesting "hmph" and stopped eating snacks. Looking at the lady with a bitter face, he said helplessly: "If the child doesn't listen, mother can beat me and scold me if she is angry with me, but don't get angry, anger is the most likely to hurt your body gone."

Da Furen just wanted to say a few more words, but when she heard these words, she suddenly felt her heart warm, she couldn't help smiling, and caressing Chen Yuan's hand, she said softly: "I'm just talking about it, if you have 1 unhappy things in your heart , I, as a mother, will naturally not force you to marry someone."

When Chen Yuan heard this, he bared his teeth and grinned, and just wanted to say something flattering, when the eldest lady took out a booklet and said with a smile: "It's okay, the Cheng family doesn't like it, there are still a lot of girls here, each one of them Just wait."

Chen Yuan: "..."

Ouch, when my mother comes, you can't focus on getting married every time you meet.Chen Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart, the age of urging marriage in ancient times has been premised ten years earlier, which is even more ruthless than in the 21st century.

Coming out of the eldest lady's room, Chen Yuan made up his mind that it is not suitable to stay in the palace for a long time at home, and it is best to go back to the academy.

His idea was supported by Li Geng. Li Geng wanted to go back to the academy a long time ago. Chen Yuanyi said that he wished he could leave immediately, so he said, "When will we leave, cousin and second brother? How about tomorrow?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, I have no objection." He looked at Li Ji who had been silent all the time, "What do you think?"

A gloomy look appeared in Li Ji's eyes, he was silent for a while before he said: "The rebellion has just been quelled, there are still many things to deal with in the palace, it is always inappropriate to leave at this time."

"Second brother, there is a royal father in state affairs, so you don't have to worry." Li Geng said sweetly.

Li Ji said in a low voice: "The affairs of the state are heavy, my father's body needs to recuperate, my eldest brother was sent to Beiqiu country, how can my father be without you and me."

Hearing this, Li Geng thought about it again, and suddenly felt that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he changed his mind without hesitation, nodded and said: "Second brother is right, the emperor needs you and me right now. Of all the brothers, you and I are the oldest, and we must not leave our father and go to the academy."

The tip of Chen Yuan's eyes twitched, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed "a piece of grass on the wall".

Li Geng pouted: "If my cousin wants to go to the academy, then my second brother and I will not accompany you." Speaking of this, he remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Daiqin is going to the academy, why don't you go with me?" If he goes together, there will be a caretaker on the way, and there will be a caretaker when he gets there, and you can help him if there is something he doesn't understand."

Chen Yuan sneered: "If you don't go, I'll go." He cut it again: "You really care about that Dai Qin."

"Daiqin is also one of the contributors to the fight against the chaos this time, but the emperor ordered us to treat him well," Li Geng said.

"Compared to us, he wants you to treat him alone." Chen Yuan said.

Li Geng looked at Chen Yuan with puzzled eyes, as if he was saying something that I couldn't understand.

Fortunately, Li Geng is really an idiot who really doesn't understand, Chen Yuan didn't say anything more about Dai Qin, and when he and Li Ji were left alone, Li Ji said: "That Dai Qin's idea of ​​beating the third brother, This time he has made meritorious redress, but he doesn't want any reward from his father, as long as his father allows him one thing in the future, and his father agrees, if my guess is right, he must be the one who wants the third brother," said this, He snorted coldly: "The barbarians probably don't have self-knowledge."

Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "I think Dai Qin is pretty good. Whether it's appearance or skill, the most important thing is that he treats Li Geng really well."

"So what, isn't it right to be nice to the person you like? He is not my court." Li Ji said bluntly, "He is going back to Beiqiu to inherit the throne. Third brother can't go there with him to suffer. Besides, third brother It's not broken sleeves either."

Chen Yuan touched his chin, nodded in agreement, and then looked at Li Ji: "What a good brother, he cares so much about his younger brother's marriage."

Li Ji looked at him, and said quietly: "I am not only concerned about my younger brother's marriage, but also about yours." He paused, "Why, Miss Cheng's family didn't like it, which one of the ladies in the brochure do you like? Tell me, maybe I can check it out for you, if you are interested, it is not impossible to ask Father to give you a marriage."

"..." Chen Yuan sucked in a breath of air, and said bitterly, "I was forced to marry by my parents at home, and you come here, and you still follow me blindly, and you are mocking me by saying this."

Li Ji snorted softly, lowered his eyes and softened his voice: "I just said a few sour words verbally. These days, after going through this catastrophe, I really moved you to find an ordinary woman to marry and have children. The thoughts of a lifetime are safer than participating in the struggle in this palace. The most important thing is that I am cold-tempered, have a big temper, love to hold grudges, and can't tolerate sand in my eyes..."

Chen Yuan was taken aback, it was not easy, the future little tyrant would actually have a day to start self-criticism, not bad, not bad, worthy of praise.

Just when Chen Yuan was thinking about boasting, he heard Li Ji change the subject, his eyes changed, and he warned: "I said I can't tolerate sand in my eyes, even if you are forced by the family, but if you don't I can't make the decision about my own marriage, so I will make the decision for you, and tomorrow I will ask my father to issue an imperial edict to the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

"Ah?" Chen Yuan looked at Li Ji in horror, and hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive, if you really let His Majesty make an order, then that..."

"Then what?" Li Ji narrowed his eyes and approached him.

Chen Yuan hesitated for a long time, then he had an idea: "I mean, it's not too late to get the military power in my father's hands."

Li Ji's eyes froze.

"Think about it, if my father and grandfather get angry about this, and if they can't think about taking the soldier talisman to follow the old way of the king, then you and I will really be Romeo and Juliet." Chen Yuan said slowly.

"Huh?" Li Ji was puzzled, "Romeo and Juliet? What is this?"

"This is the protagonist of a poignant love story, let me tell you..." Chen Yuan successfully diverted Li Ji's attention, put his arms around Li Ji's shoulders, and began to tell the story.

Li Ji was fascinated by what he heard, and pestered Chen Yuan to tell him two more stories. After the story was finished, the previous topic was forgotten, and Chen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Sure enough, even the palace is not a place to stay for a long time.

Zhao Xian's soldier talisman is already in the hands of Emperor Hui, only the soldier talisman in Chen Weichang's hand is left. Huidi thought that he must get the soldier talisman in Chen Weichang's hand before he died, so as to ensure the stability of Li Ji's throne .

However, Li Ji was not worried about the soldier talisman in Chen Weichang's hand. He had Chen Yuan, and he had no doubts about Chen Yuan, so the soldier talisman would be his sooner or later; moreover, he didn't want to force Chen Weichang to hand over the soldier talisman, after all If he really broke his face with Chen Zhang and his son, Chen Yuan would be sad.

Emperor Hui could see that Li Ji could show his determination to kill anyone and everything, but when it came to Chen Yuan, he hid his sharpness and couldn't do anything to punish people from the nine clans, kill their wives, etc. It's over.

When the emperor has a weakness, Emperor Hui can't tell whether it is good or bad; , he also felt that it was always a handle that people could hold on to, and if he was a little careless, he might end up dead without a place to bury him.

He is near the end of his life now, and he doesn't care about those big things about right and wrong, his family, his country, and the world. He only thinks that this son in front of him can have the means and power that a king should have, and also have the happiness and warmth that an ordinary person should have.

Looking at it now, how much benefit can that Chen Yuan bring to Li Ji?

Emperor Hui was full of thoughts, and finally asked Li Ji: "How much do you trust Chen Yuan and how much do you worry?"

Li Ji didn't hesitate: "My boy doesn't have the slightest doubt or worry about him."

Emperor Hui was not surprised, this son resembled him very much, just like he was to Jiang Xingzhou back then, he only wished that Chen Yuan was the same to Li Ji.

"Father, now you only care about taking care of yourself," Li Ji picked up the soup that the maid handed over, "The way he and I go, how we go, and what the ending is, are all up to us."

Emperor Hui understood, he said this to himself, kept silent, took the medicine and drank it, and when he handed over the empty bowl, he said: "I will take care of one more thing, and that is the people of this country. Take care of it."

Emperor Hui coughed again and vomited blood, and it was difficult to catch his breath while leaning against the head of the bed. Li Ji wiped the blood from his mouth with trembling hands.

"Ji'er," Emperor Hui grabbed Li Ji's hand, "It's very tiring to be the king of a country, if one day..." He looked at Li Ji carefully, the old father saw his son's reluctance and love, "Where I'm tired, and there's no place to act coquettishly, you can think about it, while I still have breath, the will can still be changed..."

"Father," Li Ji interrupted, with firm eyes, "I must sit in that high position." He said with a forced smile: "Father, don't worry, I have Chen Yuan."

Emperor Hui was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, and patted Li Ji's hand again without saying any more.All that needs to be said has been said, even if there is still a lot to say, but he knows that Li Ji understands him, because they are father and son.

In the past, he never knew that there would be a day when their father and son would sit together and talk and eat peacefully, that was enough, that was enough.

"Ji'er, father is tired and wants to sleep." He tried his best to make a sound.

When Li Ji tucked the quilt for Emperor Hui, he found that Emperor Hui was not angry. He was stunned, as if it was too sudden, and he didn't know how to react for a while. No one is allowed to disturb him."

On the way back to the palace, the light from the lantern shone on his face, and those beautiful eyes were stained with water. There is such a reluctance.

Li Ji clenched his fists, he can't cry, he has to hold back, there are many people waiting to see his jokes, they want to drag him down, trample him under their feet, he wants to do what should be done and everyone who should do it Yes, the sooner the better, after all, it is not good for a corpse to rot.

Chen Yuan couldn't sleep, he always felt that something happened, in the middle of the night, he sat up and asked the system.

The system didn't hide it from him. After listening to it, Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he froze for a while. Without saying a word, he got out of bed with his clothes and ran out without thinking about putting on his shoes.

He is going to the palace!How could he not be by Li Ji's side at this time.

The gate of the palace was closed at night, if the guards guarding the gate didn't recognize Chen Yuan and knew that the Second Highness who is now in power is close to Chen Yuan, they would never have let him in.

The imperial palace at night is different from the imperial palace during the day. It is eerily quiet and eerily dark. Chen Yuan ran straight to Li Ji's bedroom. He couldn't hear the wind whistling past his ears. The guards waiting at the door were startled. Jumping, before he could react, Chen Yuan rushed in and went straight to Li Ji's bedroom, pushed open the door, and rushed up to hug Li Ji who was on the way, hugging him firmly in his arms.

Li Ji was a little stunned, why did this man come here in the middle of the night, and still be so eager, after a moment, he guessed it, and his heart sank suddenly, leaning into Chen Yuan's arms, he said sullenly: "How do you know? "

No one knows about this except him and those close to him.Of course, he didn't doubt Chen Yuan.

"The system told you." Chen Yuan still hugged him and did not let go, complaining that he should not leave the palace tonight.

Li Ji was held by him for a long time, and he pressed against his ear: "My father is fine, he took a rest after drinking the medicine, maybe he is too tired, he needs to sleep for a longer time, understand?"

Chen Yuan was not slow, nodded, and his arms tightened again.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and when they let go, Li Ji saw that Chen Yuan was not wearing shoes, and reproached him for a few words, and blamed him for running into the palace in the middle of the night, making people suspicious.

"Don't worry too much," Chen Yuan said very nonchalantly, "No one in or outside the palace knows that you and I are close."

Li Ji ignored him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Alright, I have something to do, you go to the imperial father's bedroom to talk and play chess with him."

"Ah?!" Chen Yuan's face turned pale, purely terrified.

"What are you going to do in the middle of the night?" Chen Yuan tried to change the subject, "At this time, it's time to sleep..."

"What the father told me must be done tonight." Li Ji took it easy, "I'll accompany you to see the father first." Then he explained, "If anyone asks what you are doing in the palace tonight, just say father." The emperor wanted you to play chess with him on a whim, so you and I played chess with my father all night, that's all."

Chen Yuan's lips moved, and he wanted to ask a question, but after thinking about it, what he could do for Li Ji was what Li Ji asked him to do, so he promised: "It goes without saying, I was just playing chess with you and uncle of."

When he arrived at Emperor Hui's bedroom, Li Ji left the palace through the secret passage and went to the death row. He brought good wine and food to see King Yu.

Even in the death cell, King Yu was still well-dressed and his hair was neat and dignified. When he saw Li Ji approaching, he didn't even look at him, and just lay there with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep.

Li Ji didn't care about his attitude, he opened the food box, arranged the food and wine one by one, sat down, and said, "My father asked me to come."

King Yu still ignored him.

Li Ji still didn't care, picked up the jug and poured wine, and said slowly: "I have seen your wife and children today, do you have any last wishes?"

Yu Wang clenched his fists, but still didn't answer.

Li Ji looked at him and said, "Uncle Wang, Father is reluctant to kill you, but unfortunately, I came tonight to tell you that just half an hour ago, Father passed away."

King Yu's expression changed suddenly, he opened his eyes, sat up slowly, and stared at Li Ji: "This is impossible!"

"This is the truth." Li Ji pointed to the wine that was poured just now, "Come on, you and I will see Father off."

Yu Wang raised his hand and knocked over the wine on the table, and angrily pointed at Li Ji: "It must be you...you murdered your own father! You are rebellious! You will definitely be punished by heaven!"

Li Ji curled his lips slightly, and smiled slowly, he didn't answer the words, just said: "Good wine, what a pity." After a short pause, "It's okay, you don't like wine, I have prepared something else for you." He said to A Ye who was waiting at the door: "Bring it here."

A Ye brought the white silk, King Yu shook immediately, and instinctively stepped back, shaking his lips: "You, you dare to disobey the late emperor's last words!"

Li Ji poured the wine unhurriedly, and said words that poked people's lungs unhurriedly: "Father, I can't bear to kill you, let me let me live, but why, what you did? One thing at a time, just one thing is enough to kill you hundreds of times, thousands of times," he said with a cold snort, stood up, and approached Yu Wang, "Father is dead, you good brother can't go down to accompany him , I can’t justify it.”

King Yu stared bitterly, and said bitterly, "How dare you? You are..."

"Try and see if I dare!" Li Ji interrupted in a cold voice, "Come here, send King Yu on his way."

King Yu's countenance changed when he heard the words, he got up in fright, and wanted to resist, but he was held down by four people, who mercilessly restrained him with white silk.

King Yu struggled desperately and cried out in pain: "Why! Why?!"

Li Ji glanced at him coldly, straightened his cuffs and said: "Uncle Wang, you are such a noble person, you forget things, you pretended to be a eunuch and strangled my father personally, I recognized you when you were hiding in the dark. "

King Yu froze in place, and was hung up after only a moment.

"Your Highness, he is dead." A Ye reported after confirming.

Li Ji turned around and didn't look at King Yu who was hanging there. He put on his mask and walked out and ordered: "The jailers here and other people in custody are handed over to you, and they should be handled cleanly and neatly."

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Chen Yuan sang Hallelujah dozens of times. When Li Ji came back, he stood in front of him and asked strangely, "Why is it taking so long?"

Li Ji admitted his mistake, Chen Yuan took his arm, the two approached, he asked in a low voice if he was still here.

Li Ji looked at him and asked, "Does the dean have any spices to cover up the smell of corpses?"

Chen Yuan's scalp was numb: "Let's talk about it when I get back to you, I will definitely get it for you."

After returning to Li Ji, Chen Yuan went to look for the space, and sure enough, the omnipresent space did not disappoint him. When he bought the spices, he asked worriedly, "How many days are you going to hide?"

"A few days." Li Ji said and looked at Chen Yuan with unprecedented seriousness in his eyes, "Do you know that Father asked me if I was worried about you before he died, and I said that I have never been worried about you. Now that there is an unexpected situation, I have to deal with too much. There are still many people in the palace who do not agree with me. Even if you hold the will, you may end up dead. You can persuade you when you go home Are dad and your grandpa on my side?"

"What are you talking about?" Chen Yuan felt that Li Ji asked really stupidly, "If they don't stand on your side, where else can they stand? As long as I stand on your side, they will definitely have one heart with you and me, so you can relax Take out the will and become the emperor, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Father left suddenly, and there are two things to do right now." Li Ji said: "One is to let father issue an imperial decree that Li Ao will not step in my court for the rest of his life; Promulgate the will in front of all the old officials, and ask him to die in front of the important officials."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment: "This...is the degree of difficulty higher?"

Li Ji was dissatisfied with him: "I have my own arrangements."

Chen Yuan believed that he had this ability. He grabbed Li Ji's hand and held it tightly: "There are some things I don't understand. As long as you need it, I will go all out without hesitation, even..."

"I don't want you to lose your life, you have to live well." Li Ji interrupted.

Chen Yuan smiled: "Yes, live well, and live a long life with you."
