Facing his lover's consolation, Li Baiqing felt a warmth in his heart and forced a smile as he said, "Mm, I'll work hard and won't lose to him."
Next to him, a beautiful and gentle-looking woman could not help but cry. She was Li Zhe's wife, Zhang Shuyun, and she came from a large family. She felt quite guilty and said, "If she could accept that mother and son, this wouldn't have happened. If she hadn't married Li Zhe, perhaps that Qin's Legatee would have been Great Tang's Legatee."
Li Zhe was Zhao Fu's father, and seeing his wife cry out of guilt, his heart ached. He truly loved this wife, and even though they were dissolute, he had always treated Zhang Shuyun as his only wife, and no one could replace her.
Li Zhe held Zhang Shuyun in his arms and comforted her in a warm voice, "Honey, it's not because of you. Even without you, I wouldn't have fallen for that bitch. How could that bitch compare to you?"
Zhang Shuyun's eyes were completely red, and her heart was filled with sweetness as she lightly hugged Li Zhe.
Seeing the two of them acting so intimately, the Li family's old master immediately scolded loudly, "Why do I have such a stupid son like you? What time is it now, and you're still only thinking about women. Do you want to watch that unfilial son of yours destroy the entire Li family?"
Facing the Li family's old patriarch's yelling, Zhang Shuyun let go of Li Zhe and lowered her head.
Li Zhe said somewhat angrily, "How could I have thought that bastard would have such accomplishments? If I had killed him long ago, I'll go to Qin's Legatee and have him come to the Li family to kowtow and apologize. I'm his father, and if that bastard dares to disobey me, I'll kill him on the spot."
Hearing such stupid words, the Li family's old patriarch was so angry that his face turned red as he roared, "If that unfilial son can kill you and let the Li family off, I definitely won't hesitate to send you to him. Get the hell out of here right now."
Li Zhe also cried out in dissatisfaction, "I'm his father, and he's my son. I can do whatever I want him to do; does he dare to kill me? Even if I gave him 100 guts, he wouldn't dare to do so. Now that he dares to treat the Li family like this, I'll go and break his legs myself. "
With that, Li Zhe really stood up and stormed out of the room in anger.
The Li family's old patriarch pointed at Li Zhe, so angry that he couldn't speak. How could there be such an idiot? How could he have given birth to two Imperial Princes? One was the Great Tang's Legatee, and the other was Qin's Legatee.
Li Baiqing sighed at his father and ordered people to stop him. Great Qin's Legatee was famous for being ruthless and cold-blooded, and even though Li Baiqing's father was his own father, with how much hatred he had for him, it was possible that he really would kill his father.
Even if Li Zhe went, nothing would change. His death would be in vain, and it might even deepen the conflict between him and the Li Clan.
What should I do now? Back then, he hadn't known that he was Qin's Imperial Prince, but now that he knew, he had to do something. Otherwise, if this continued, Qin had already conquered half of the Continent, and it seemed that he would lose the other half as well.
Everyone understood this, so they all looked at the Li family's old patriarch. After all, he was the master of the family and everything was up to him.
Facing everyone's gazes, the Li family's old patriarch could only sigh and say in an aged voice, "Right now, we can only do everything we can to express our apologies and acknowledge his mother's position in the Li family. We will also officially list Zhao Fu as a descendant of the Li family, hoping that this will ease the relationship between them."
"Also," the Li family's old patriarch paused and looked at Li Zhe as he said, "The most important thing is you; you have to express your regret. Only then will it be possible to ease the relationship between them."
However, Li Zhe retorted discontentedly, "I won't acknowledge that unfilial son, nor will I accept that woman. I didn't do anything wrong."
Hearing this, the Li family's old patriarch looked at Li Zhe coldly, causing Li Zhe to feel a chill run down his spine. He was familiar with his father, and he knew that the Li family's old patriarch was going to do this to him.
Following this, the entire world was sent into an uproar. No one had thought that Legatee Qin and the Li family would have such a relationship.
They also felt sorry for the Li family – they had given such a shocking person to someone else. If they had kept Legatee Qin in the Li family, he would have definitely become the Legatee of Great Tang, and Great Tang might have unified the world. It was a pity that fate made fools of people.
More importantly, the Li family had not killed Legatee Qin in the end. With Legatee Qin's immense power, the entire Li family would have suffered.
Now, almost everyone who was smart understood that it was best not to have any contact with the Li family, or else they would not even know how they died. At most, they only had ordinary enmity with Qin, but they had great enmity with the Li family.
Immediately!
All of the factions treated Great Tang coldly, which made the Li family feel very embarrassed. However, there was nothing they could do about it. They could only hope that the relationship between Legatee Qin and them would improve. Not only would they receive better treatment, but they might also not be destroyed, and they might even be able to establish Great Tang with Qin's help.
After all, Legatee Qin was a member of the Li family, and he still had the Li family's royal bloodline. This was something that could not be changed.
Zhao Fu sat in the main hall expressionlessly. The atmosphere was quite oppressive, and no one dared to breathe loudly. There were more than 20 people kneeling in front of the main hall. One of them was a messenger sent by Great Tang, and the other 20 were top beauties chosen by Great Tang.
The Great Tang messenger knelt on the ground and said nervously, "Your Majesty Qin, this is a small gift from the Li family. The Li family's old patriarch, your father, and your little brother have each sent a letter to Your Majesty, expressing their remorse and apology. Your father has also written a letter in blood, hoping to obtain Your Majesty's forgiveness."
These words caused the temperature in the main hall to plummet. This was a taboo topic in Zhao Fu's heart, and no one dared to mention it. Even Li Si, who had obtained all of Zhao Fu's information, did not dare to say a single word, as even he could be heavily punished.
Under this formless Emperor's aura, the Great Tang messenger's body felt cold, and he could not help but tremble. However, he gritted his teeth and endured, as he had come with the resolve to die.
The main hall was deathly silent, and no one made a sound. Zhao Fu coldly looked at the Great Tang messenger, not saying anything for a long time.
