When Li Yao entered the palace, the imperial concubine had just received the news from outside the palace. What happened last night, the locked palace gates could not let in any news. If something happened, it could only be reported this morning. The imperial concubine read the letter After rushing over, Li Yao had already said everything that needed to be said.

After being notified, the imperial concubine had just walked in when she saw the emperor looking at her coldly, so cold that she had to endure it so as not to tremble.

She knelt on the ground slowly, tears had already wet her eyes, and she said to the emperor with pear blossoms and rain: "Is the emperor's matter about Qi Yan'er?"

Li Qing sneered and said, "Knowledge is better than mother, it seems that you know about this too—" With a bang, Li Qing picked up the paperweight and slapped it on the table, saying, "What a bastard! Treating human life as a trifle! I was He actually wanted to marry him, but fortunately he was pulled back by the officials!" The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he became really angry, and began to cough violently, as if his lungs were about to explode. People can't help but sweat for him.

When the noble concubine heard this, her face turned as white as a sheet of paper, she said wearily on the ground: "Your Majesty, how can you listen to the words of the sixth prince alone, at least you should listen to what Yan'er has to say!"

Li Qing sneered repeatedly, and said with a sneer, "Do you think I don't know what he has done these years? I will restrain myself more or less when he is him, but this time he actually bullied Yao'er like this, please take care of me." Look at his face, do you know that during the autumn hunt, Yaoer blocked a fatal blow for the orphan, and recuperated in the palace for more than half a month before he recovered, just returned to Beijing yesterday, and was beaten by your good son in the evening Suddenly, his face was swollen like this, and Yaoer just went to bring back his servant, who has been with him since he was a child, living like a brother for ten years, I just rewarded this servant Not long after Yao'er, your good son took him away from Prince Jin's mansion while Yao'er was not around, ha ha, but your good son might take him away forcibly even if Yao'er was there, and Yao'er would probably It’s not good because a servant came to me to complain, so I can only suffer from being dumb... Does Li Yan think that he can go in and out of any place in the capital? Does he think Gu is dead?!”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This is just the Sixth Prince's one-sided words. The concubine let Yan'er enter the palace and let them confront each other!"

"Confrontation? Which of these things is false?"

Just as Li Qing finished speaking, the eunuch's summons sounded.

"The prince is here."

"The fourth prince is here."

The prince and Li Yan who came in a hurry stepped into the hall at the same time.

The crown prince greeted Li Qing, and looked at the noble concubine kneeling on the ground and the silent sixth brother.

He knew about this earlier than Li Yao, and the current situation was exactly what he wanted to see.

After returning from Qiu Lie’s palace, the emperor’s mood was not very good. Li Yan’s eyes were exposed at this juncture, and Li Yan’s skin would definitely be peeled off. The opportunity to fight for the reserve would probably be lost because of this. Who would follow? Such a future king who has the power of his natal family but has no law, despises human life, and plays with things?

Even if you despise human life in your heart, at least put on a show, this can make people feel more stable, right?

The prince, who thought he had no plans to spare, asked Li Qing solemnly.

"I heard that I came to see the emperor's father. I don't know, but what did the sixth brother do wrong? The sixth brother has always been sympathetic to his servants and abided by his duty. If there is anything wrong with the sixth brother, it must be that my elder brother has not taught it well." After speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes , kneeling beside Li Yao.

He can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight this time, but he is not prepared to do this. If he wants to win over more people, he will naturally have to do it himself.

The crown prince wanted to recruit Li Yao to his side, and completely draw a line with Li Yan.

So I came here to speak well for Li Yao.

Li Qing was very relieved to see how the prince cared for his younger brother, and looked at Li Yan with even more disgust.

He said to Li Yan: "What else do you have to say?"

"I have never snatched the sixth brother's attendant. I begged for it from the sixth princess when I went to get the book, and I got the consent of the sixth princess. As for the servant's hand, he accidentally broke it while doing something. Yes, it definitely wasn't caused by my son's beating!" He denied all charges.

Li Qing waved his hand and let the Sixth Princess Zhao Yining, who had already been declared into the palace, come in.

Zhao Yining was called into the palace by the emperor's people after Li Yao finished telling the story, and she had been waiting in the ear room for a long time to be summoned.

After coming to the hall, seeing Li Yan, he walked up to Li Yao's side and knelt down as if he was afraid, not daring to look up.

The emperor asked Zhao Yining to answer.

"The fourth prince said that you promised him to take him away?"

Zhao Yining shook her head and said in a soft crying voice: "Originally before the lord left, the person who told the fourth lord would come to the palace to pick up the books, but that day I didn't expect the fourth lord to come in person, so my son met in person, afraid of being impolite, Afterwards, he asked the servant in the prince's study to bring the book to the front hall. He thought this matter was over, but the fourth prince suddenly told his son that he wanted Eunuch Nan, but the prince did not say that he would send Eunuch Nan to him before he left. Let's go, Eunuch Nan is also unwilling to leave Prince Jin's mansion, it's just...Although my son rejected the fourth prince, the fourth prince still forcibly...forcibly..."

The emperor frowned and asked, "How about forcing it?"

"Forcibly took Eunuch Nan away in front of my son. The prince came back yesterday and was very anxious after knowing that he was taken away. My son understands very well, because I heard from the steward that Eunuch Zhinan followed him since he was a child." The prince grew up next to him, and he existed like a brother and a friend. He went to the fourth prince's mansion where the banquet was being held overnight. After picking up Nan Gonggong, the person who left well was not more than a month old, and he came back skinny and covered in injuries. The tendon of the tee was also cut off... Please come to the imperial doctor, the doctor said it was not an accident, but was cut off artificially..."

After the emperor listened, he picked up the things on the table and threw them at Li Yan, saying, "Beast abuse!" He is the emperor's brother, not to mention an eunuch, but in the emperor's heart, Wu Lian is almost like a relative of Li Qing. If someone dares to break Wu Lian's tendon, he will kill his whole family to vent his anger if he does not punish the nine clans. , This is the anger condensed by feelings and face.

What's the difference between picking off Li Yao's servant's tendons and hitting Li Yao in the face?

Not only that, he actually slapped Li Yao in the face!

Evil animal, evil animal!

If you don't give him a little color, you won't know what kind of thing you are!

Li Yan couldn't argue, because the emperor didn't ask about Li Yao's injuries anymore, and he didn't have a chance to explain. He had a hunch that if he said something more, he would definitely be punished more severely.

But for Li Yan, the relegation from the prince of the second rank to the king of the county is already the most severe punishment he can think of.

But for the imperial concubine, it was a bolt from the blue.

She crawled in front of Li Qing to intercede for Li Yan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just give Yan'er a chance and let him face the wall at home and think about it. How could he revoke his title of prince just because of a little servant!"

Li Qing kicked her away and said, "I say yes."

Then someone brought Li Yan back to the mansion,

"After two years of thinking in front of the county palace, without permission, you are not allowed to leave the palace, hold banquets, or receive guests. The imperial concubine had better send someone to the county palace to rectify it, so as not to make him look like a king again, and there will be a next time , The prince’s crime is the same as that of the common people, I will do what I say, and I will drag him down, I don’t want to see him as a villain again." After speaking, Li Qing pinched the eyebrows and was supported by Wu Lian to sit on the chair behind.

After Li Yan was dragged down, Li Qing appeased Li Yao and told him to cultivate well in the palace during this period of time, to take good care of his body, and then rewarded Zheng Zhinan with many things, and at the same time praised him for speaking for Li Yao the prince.

Li Yao and the crown prince went out together.

Li Yao lowered his eyes and expressed his thanks to the prince.

Since the crown prince wants to recruit him, of course he has to follow suit.

The crown prince was very satisfied with Li Yao's performance, and he sent Li Yao back after pretending to comfort him. Before he left, he took a vague look at Zhao Yining, but Li Yao pretended not to see him, and walked away first.

After returning to the palace, Li Yao came to the study room. There was a bedroom in the study room. Li Yao settled Zheng Zhinan here so that he could take care of him from time to time and show up immediately for anything.

Whether discussing government affairs or current affairs in the study, Li Yao never shy away from Zheng Zhinan.

But Zheng Zhinan hasn't said a word since he came back.

Although his body was slowly recovering and the wound was healing, he didn't say a word anymore.

Like a corpse without a soul, Li Yao was terrified.

Afraid of losing Zheng Zhinan.

Even though the person was brought back, he felt that he was still lost.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was hard to get the sun this day. In this place where there would be no outsiders, Li Yao hugged Zheng Zhinan and took him to the yard to bask in the sun.

Zheng Zhinan was covered with a blanket, basking in the sun, and said the first sentence after returning to the palace.

He said to Li Yao, "I want to write."

Li Yao paused, and prepared pen and paper according to his request.

Zheng Zhinan picked up the brush with his right hand, dipped it in ink, and wanted to write, but his severed hand was the hand that used to hold the brush. Before the tip of the pen fell on the rice paper, his hand began to tremble uncontrollably , can't stabilize at all.

Li Yao's distressed heart seemed to be scratched with a knife. He was afraid that his voice would sound a little choked, so he calmed down for a long time before smiling and saying, "It's okay, we can practice writing with our left hand in the future, and we can also write beautifully." words."

Zheng Zhinan didn't listen to Li Yao's words, and stubbornly wanted to write with his right hand, but the first stroke was crooked, like an ugly bug squirming on the snow-white paper.

His eyes were wide open, as he looked at the words on the paper, tears rolled down his eyes.

There is no cry, silent tears are the most moving.

If it was said that Zheng Zhinan forced himself to write with his right hand just now, it made Li Yao's heart ache, but now it is the pain of thousands of arrows piercing his heart.

Li Yao looked at his tears, took out the pen in his hand, hugged him tightly and said, "Zhi Nan, I'm sorry, I'm the one who came back late."

Zheng Zhinan's tears were still flowing. In fact, he didn't want to cry, but he couldn't control his tears at all. He said coldly, "You are a liar."

"I'm sorry, I will let you kill him with your own hands in the future."

"You are a liar."

"Zinan!" Li Yao held Zheng Zhinan's face in his hands, looked at Zheng Zhinan, who was full of tears and had red eyes, and said, "I will definitely let you take revenge."

"Your Li family... all deserve to die."
