Happy Little Scholar
Chapter 387: The Emperor's Thoughts (1/2)
"Who gave you this power, Your Majesty, or yourself?"
The King of Shu found himself sadly speechless again after hearing Li Xuan's words. '
The Emperor had never said this before, and as for himself, he certainly did not have the qualifications.
Li Xuan's words were heart-piercing, and no matter how the King of Shu answered, it was wrong. This sentence even tore off his fig leaf, making him feel like he was exposed to the public.
He was a prince, but this was Kyoto. It was precisely because he was a prince, a prince, and an adult prince that he could not act as he pleased.
It was just that no one had pointed this out until now, and no one wanted to offend him. Everyone he came into contact with was flattering and fawning on him------
However, just because no one wanted to offend did not mean that everyone was unwilling to offend.
The King of Shu's face was indescribably gloomy, and he could no longer maintain his deliberate calmness. He and Li Xuan did not like each other, and this had been a fact since they were very young, but it was the first time that they had completely torn their faces like today.
He chose to turn against himself completely for a person who was not so important.
The King of Shu was angry, surprised, and puzzled. He didn't understand. Did Li Xuan really not care at all, and didn't care about the fact that he would become the emperor in the future?
The King of Shu didn't know that if Li Xuan knew this idea, he would probably usher in another wave of ridicule.
How could he care so much? He only knew that when the King of Shu really ascended the throne, he would never have such an opportunity again.
The atmosphere in the venue was weird to the freezing point. Including Cui Chengyu, Chen Lijun, and even Qin Yu, Qin Crazy, everyone said nothing, and most people didn't even dare to breathe.
The situation has developed to the current situation, and it is no longer their place to interrupt.
"If your highness has nothing to do, we will leave first..." The first to break the silence was Li Xuan. He first smiled at the King of Shu, then turned his head, put his arm around Li Yi's shoulders, and walked out.
The King of Shu said nothing, Qin Yu had no expression on his face, and the guards of the King of Shu's mansion did not stop him, and consciously made way.
"How did it turn out like this?" Before leaving the Shu Palace, Li Xuan let go of Li Yi's shoulders and asked in surprise.
Before Li Yi answered, as if he had thought of something, a look of understanding appeared on his face. He glanced at Miss Liu Er and said, "I know, it was because of that madman Qin Yu, but doesn't he always like married women? How could it be..."
It was difficult for Li Yi to connect the chatterbox next to him with the domineering prince just now. He shook his head and asked, "Why did you come here?"
"I came to see if you would cause any trouble in the Shu Palace." Li Xuan looked like I had foresight and said, "If I came a little later, you wouldn't kill the Shu King and Madman Qin, right?"
"I didn't want to kill the Shu King." Miss Liu Er said lightly.
For some reason, Li Xuan only felt that there seemed to be a gust of cold wind blowing around him. He didn't want to kill the Shu King------Madman Qin must thank him because he saved his life.
"Did the Shu King recruit you?" Li Xuan asked suddenly.
Li Yi nodded.
"You didn't agree?" Li Xuan asked again.
Li Yi glanced at him. Isn't this obvious? If he agreed to the King of Shu, how could what happened just now happen?
Li Xuan was inexplicably happy. He had a lot of happy things in the past two days. He asked casually: "Why? You must know that he is the prince who is most likely to succeed the throne, right?"
"Then why did you break up with him?" Li Yi asked back.
"Because I don't like him." Li Xuan said as a matter of course.
"I don't like him either."
"Why?"
"Because he is ugly."
------
------
When sitting in the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion, Li Xuan was still thinking about the question just now.
"The Prince of Shu is not ugly..." He muttered to himself, then nodded and said, "Of course, he is far inferior to this prince, and a little inferior to that guy."
He showed a mysterious smile on his face, then lifted the curtain and said, "Lü Liang, hurry up, what are you dawdling about!"
The guard driving the carriage smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, this is fast enough, it will take at most a quarter of an hour to reach the Prince's Mansion..."
Your Highness has been a little abnormal these two days. When he returned to the mansion before, he would delay as much as possible, but now------he wishes he could grow wings and fly back.
The Prince's Mansion is not far from the city gate. When Li Yi came, there were more carriages and horses entering and leaving, and the carriages entering the city formed a long queue. He directly stopped the carriage outside the city.
The Prince's Mansion and there are two directions. He rejected Li Xuan's proposal to send them a way, and naturally had to walk there with Miss Liu Er.
He limped and walked in a strange way.
I didn't feel anything when I was in the Prince of Shu's mansion just now, but now it's getting worse somehow. I thought I'd ask Ruyi to massage it after I go back, and it should be fine tomorrow morning, so I can go to the palace without delay.
"Take it." Miss Liu stopped, turned her head, and suddenly threw the sword in her hand.
Li Yi caught it and asked, "What for?"
Miss Liu squatted down slightly and said, "Come up."
"It's okay, I can walk by myself." Li Yi shook his head and said.
"Dawdle!"
She seemed a little impatient and walked straight over, "Don't be so nagging, the city gate is about to close."
Li Yi held the sword called "Qiu Shui" in his hand, and a faint fragrance lingered in his nose. He thought that there would be a day when he was carried by a woman, and it was Miss Liu Er. Thinking back to half a year ago, she was still riding on a horse with a proud face. Now------it's really like a dream.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
Two voices sounded at the same time, Miss Liu Er's footsteps paused, and after a moment she continued to move forward. There was another long silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
"I'm sorry to let you suffer tonight." Li Yi said apologetically.
She is Liu Ruyi, there is only one Liu Ruyi in the world, the female knight Liu Ruyi who is happy to repay her kindness and revenge. Ruyi has spoiled her since she was a child and refused to let her suffer the slightest grievance. This is also the main reason why she developed such a character.
What is the King of Shu, and what is Young Master Qin? There should be nothing and no one in this world that can make her feel wronged, including himself. However, it is because of him that she has been restrained.
"There is nothing wronged. I shouldn't be so impulsive. After all, this is the capital..." Miss Liu said after a moment of silence.
"You have nothing to be sorry about, because I was planning to do the same thing. We can't just reach out when someone wants to chop off our hands, right?"
"Then what?"
"Kill them, they can't stop us."
"They can't stop me."
"Yours and mine, they're all the same."
------
------
"What is the heavenly punishment?"
"You've seen it, that night in Liuye Village."
"How did you do it?"
"You want to learn?"
"Yes."
"If you want to learn, you should have said it earlier. How would I know you wanted to learn if you didn't say it?"
"------"
"If you had asked earlier, wouldn't I have taught you a long time ago?"
"-------"
"What's there to be polite between us------Do you really want to learn?"
Plop!
Li Yi got up from the ground, looked at Liu Ruyi's back as she walked away quickly, and limped after her.
"Don't go, don't you want to learn? How can I teach you if you leave!"
------

After what happened just now, the invitation tonight in the Shu Palace could not continue.
The Shu King lost all his face in front of everyone this time, his face was extremely gloomy, and the rest of the people naturally said nothing, not daring to breathe.
It was not until now that the Shu King realized that he had not paid enough attention to the Li County Master from the beginning to the end.
Li Xuan's change of face made him deeply aware of this fact.
I just don't know what kind of status that person has in his father's heart------But no matter what, his actions tonight have completely pushed that person to the opposite side of him, and Qin Yu will definitely have a grudge against him because of this matter. The Shu King has not done things that are not good for both sides for a long time.
Chen Lijun and Cui Chengyu stood behind him, with astonishment and shock still on their faces. It was originally a trivial matter for them, and Qin Yu could solve it alone. Who could have thought that the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, and even the King of Shu was involved, and the result of the matter was far beyond their expectations.
As the Supervisor, Li Xuan, the prince, actually tore his face with His Royal Highness the King of Shu in front of so many people. From their perspective, this matter was simply incomprehensible.
"I'll go back first." Qin Yu's face was calm, and there was no joy or anger in his expression. After saying this lightly, he left with his people.
This strange silence did not last long, and everyone rushed to say goodbye. Naturally, they didn't even dare to mention what had just happened.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Qin Yu were very calm on the surface, but everyone with a discerning eye understood that after tonight, Kyoto would probably have another big storm.
The focus of the storm, of course, was the county magistrate Li who had just shown his prowess.
I just don't know if His Royal Highness can continue to protect him under the wrath of the King of Shu and Young Master Qin...

Late at night, the entire capital gradually began to be shrouded in darkness and silence, and most of the lights in the imperial city were extinguished. Only rows of guards patrolling with lanterns occasionally passed by.
At this time, deep in the palace wall, there were still lights swaying in a palace, and the sound of pages turning could be heard from time to time.
A ghostly figure suddenly appeared outside the Qinzheng Hall. Chang De, the chief eunuch, glanced at the eunuch who was already dozing off outside the hall door, and coughed lightly. The two woke up immediately. Seeing the figure standing in front of them, their faces immediately turned pale. Just as they were about to salute, Chang De waved his hand, gently pushed open the hall door, and his figure floated in.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Jing was reviewing memorials on a table at the innermost.
Hearing the noise coming from the hall, Emperor Jing looked up and asked casually, "What time is it now?"
"Your Majesty, it's just after midnight."
"It's so late?" Emperor Jing said this, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then continued to review.
Changde hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's already getting late. County Master Li once said that your Majesty's body should not be overworked. For the sake of the people in the world, please go to bed early."
"I've been here for so many years, not more than a day or two." Emperor Jing said nonchalantly.
A wry smile appeared on Chang De's face. Your Majesty has been saying this for several years, but every time, it is just a word.
"Speaking of Mr. Li..." Emperor Jing put down his pen, rubbed his wrist and said, "Did he attend the banquet invited by the King of Shu tonight?"
Changde nodded and said, "I have something to report to Your Majesty regarding the banquet invited by the King of Shu today."
"Tell me, what kind of trouble did my Mr. Li get into?" Emperor Jing smiled, stood up, stretched, and walked down.
"Your Majesty is wise." Changde said with great admiration after being stunned for a moment.
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "What is wise or not? He has a good relationship with Xuan'er. Li Xian wanted to win over him, but he chose the wrong person. One is arrogant and the other is stingy. If nothing happens, I will strangeness."
Changde smiled when he heard the words, and no longer thought about it, and told everything about what happened in the Prince of Shu's mansion tonight.
If the King of Shu or Li Yi were present, they would probably be shocked by Chang De's words.
Because his description of what happened tonight was extremely detailed, as if he was present in person. He even did not miss any details that Li Yi and the King of Shu did not notice. .
"Xuan'er actually went too?" Emperor Jing touched the short beard on his chin out of habit, and then asked: "Did County Master Li do anything before Xuan'er arrived at Shu Prince's Mansion?"
Changde shook his head and said: "According to the information from the spy, Mr. Li was probably afraid of the Qin family and the King of Shu. He did not do anything special tonight. Qin Yu wanted to cut off Mr. Li's hand. Mr. Li He didn't do anything, but the second lady of the Liu family almost killed Qin Yu with a sword. When the King of Shu wanted to arrest them, the prince arrived just in time. "
"Afraid of the Qin family and the King of Shu?" Emperor Jing shook his head and said: "I'm afraid only the souls of those who died in Liuye Village know that a Qin family and a King of Shu are not enough to make him fearful ----- He didn’t do anything, he was waiting for me to do something!”
A trace of doubt appeared on Chang De's face. Although he had been with His Majesty for decades, he still could not guess some of the Emperor's thoughts.
"That's all, he is so generous to me, I can't be stingy with him. It's okay to let him cause trouble in this lifeless Kyoto..."
Emperor Jing stood in front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back, looking at the stars in the sky, with a smile on his face that even Changde couldn't understand.
