However, Li Shimin did not care about this. As if he did not hear Xiao Guizi's words, he took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Your Majesty …"
Xiao Guizi lowered his head, his voice so soft that only he could hear it. He knew His Majesty's temper. As long as he had decided on something, he would not listen to any advice. For example, smoking now. His Majesty liked it and would not throw it away.
However, he was thinking of His Majesty and was unwilling to give up persuading him. "Your Majesty, why don't you take a break?"
This time, the persuasion seemed to have worked a little. Li Shimin glanced at Little Guizi, somewhat sullen. "What's wrong? You want to abdicate too? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Guizi's legs suddenly went soft. He hurriedly crawled on the ground, his face turning green and white. "Your … Your Majesty, this slave does not dare …"
How could he dare to have such thoughts?
Abdicate? This was a capital offense.
How could he dare?
He only wanted to persuade His Majesty, but he was being accused of something?
However, on second thought, there was a trace of anger in His Majesty's words. It did not seem to be directed at him?
After all, he had not done anything out of line recently.
Thinking of this, he raised his head to look at His Majesty.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was also looking at him. Their eyes met. Xiao Guizi instantly quivered and hurriedly lowered his head. "Your Majesty, please spare my life."
Although he was begging for mercy, his heart was already in his throat. He was afraid that if something went wrong, his head would be separated from his body. After all, His Majesty was a temperamental person.
Li Shimin looked at the trembling Xiao Guizi with mixed feelings. What he had said just now was actually words of anger. Abdicating was a reflection of those ministers.
In his heart, he did not know if he was a qualified monarch, but those ministers' way of abdicating made him angry.
Although he was angry, he could not do anything because he knew that these fellows did the right thing. When everyone thought that the Black Tortoise Sect was in the sky, he had already been pushed to the climax of public opinion. The ministers were also thinking of the people.
As for Xiao Guizi, he had become a punching bag.
This fellow was loyal. If he was told to go left, he would never go right.
At the same time, he was also glad that he had such a loyal servant by his side. How could he kill him?
Thus, he put away his angry expression and said softly, "Get up, I'm not blaming you."
Little Guizi didn't get up immediately. Instead, he looked up and saw that His Majesty had already turned his head away. He didn't hesitate and quickly got up. However, his legs didn't seem to listen to him. They kept shaking and he had to stand up several times before he could stand up.
After getting up, he bowed again. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a hoarse voice at the door of the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Sheng Zhou …"
Before he could finish, Li Shimin abruptly stood up and glanced at the door. He said excitedly, "Quickly bring it up."
He knew that Feng Zi was in Sheng State, and this letter was most likely related to Feng Zi.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from the door. A strong man walked in with small, quick steps.
However, as soon as he came in, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. A pungent smell wafted over, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Cough cough …"
He covered his mouth and coughed non-stop. He felt that tears were about to come out.
For a moment, he even wanted to go out and never come in again. However, when he thought that he still had to send a letter to His Majesty, he still made up his mind and walked in.
However, something even more strange happened.
He couldn't see inside clearly, and he couldn't see His Majesty's figure. Layers of smoke blocked his line of sight.
This … what should he do?
He could only muster up his courage and walk in.
However, Li Shimin couldn't wait any longer. He glanced at Little Guizi beside him and urged, "Quickly go and bring the letter over."
Little Guizi was still looking at the door. When he heard that His Majesty wanted him to go, he hurriedly ran towards the door. Speaking of which, his legs were still weak just now, but when he heard that he had to do something for His Majesty, his legs instantly became light.
As soon as he walked, he formed a gust of wind. Even the smoke started to swirl. His vision suddenly became clear.
At this moment, he saw a figure walking over. It was the strong man just now. He immediately berated, "Stop, give me the letter."
That strong man didn't hesitate and hurriedly handed the letter to Little Guizi. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard Little Guizi's figure again.
"Next time you're so slow, boy, I'll break your legs."
His expression changed. He wanted to refute but didn't know how to. He could only secretly feel bitter in his heart. It wasn't that he was slow, but this room was full of smoke. How could he be fast? Thinking of this, he still walked out of the room quickly.
Little Guizi received the letter. Without hesitation, he turned around and handed it to Li Shimin.
At this time, Li Shimin was already impatient. He opened the letter and read it carefully.
"Your Majesty, since leaving Chang 'an, I have chased after Zhang Feng all the way to Shengzhou. I have not seen any trace of him …"
When he saw this, his expression changed and he slapped the table.
