Li Yi looked at Chen Chong, who was staring at him with a strange gaze, and explained, "Don't look at me like that. His Majesty and I are innocent."
"And with the Princess?"
"With the Princess … it's just holding hands and kissing the cheek. That's all. There's nothing else."
… …
"I know." Chen Chong nodded. "You and His Majesty are innocent."
Li Yi looked at him and said, "But the look in your eyes hasn't changed."
Chen Chong lowered his head and said nothing.
Of all the officials in court, only he and His Majesty believed that they were innocent. Everyone knew that His Majesty and Gyeong Of Silla were as close as brothers and that His Majesty favored him even more than Her Majesty the Empress. Who would believe that they were innocent?
But he could not say this in front of Chen Chong.
Based on his understanding of Li Yi, if he bore a grudge against you, he would not fall out with you on the surface, but he would make things difficult for you in the future. Everyone knew of His Highness Gyeong Of Silla's pettiness, just like his relationship with His Majesty.
He changed his gaze and said, "The King of Shu is like this. How can I bring him back to the capital?"
Chen Chong's words were reasonable. The King of Shu had been a respectable person before he went crazy. It would be too shameful to have him return to the capital like this. It would not only hurt the King of Shu's own face, but also the face of the imperial family … …
Li Yi ordered the jailer behind him, "Open the prison door."
The jailer did not ask any questions and went forward to open the door.
"Thank you, thank you!" The King of Shu walked out and said seriously, "I will send MIngzhu to your room today, and the day after tomorrow, I will send Li Xuan!"
Thump!
Li Yi reached out and lightly chopped at the King of Shu's neck. The King fell to the ground.
"This is much more respectable." Li Yi looked at Chen Chong and said, "Don't delay this matter. Tomorrow, secretly escort him back to the capital. If he continues to make trouble on the way, just knock him out."
Chen Chong was startled, then nodded. "Okay."
He pointed at the unconscious King of Shu and ordered the jailer, "Bring him back first …"
"Why did he go crazy …" The jailer sighed. The King of Shu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and grabbed him by the neck. He said angrily, "I'm not crazy. I'm the Emperor. I'm the ruler of a country. You unruly people, unruly people …"
Bang!
Chen Chong chopped down on the King of Shu's neck with even greater force than Li Yi's. The King of Shu fell to the ground again. Chen Chong waved his hand and said, "Take him away …"
…
"Son-in-law, do you think the madness of the King of Shu is real?" Fang squatted on the ground, looked at Li Yi, and asked, "It's said that there are people who are unwilling to remember certain things because they suffered a blow, so they sealed a part of their memories. It sounds very mysterious. Is there really such a thing?"
"Really …"
Li Yi said casually. Although this kind of thing sounded mysterious, it was not uncommon in the history of medicine.
It was no longer important whether the King of Shu was really crazy or not. Based on Li Xuan's style of doing things, he might not kill the King of Shu. However, the King of Shu would not be able to leave the capital in this lifetime. As for the one imprisoned in the capital, what difference did it make whether the King of Shu was really crazy or not?
Now that the matter with the King of Shu had come to an end, he was thinking about other matters.
This time, the King of Shu was captured and Fang Yu escaped. They had already taken over the Fringe. However, they still could not find Fang Yu. When they arrived, the Fringe was already deserted. Only a few bandits who were captured were left behind.
The Fringe was huge. Even if the King of Shu, Fang Yu, and the others joined forces, they could only occupy a small piece of land.
Of course, no matter which side they were on, they were still one of the few major powers in the Fringe.
Now, the territories near the Jing Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom had been unified by them. Only some major powers in the north near the Wu Kingdom had yet to be conquered. Li Yi, Wang Wei, and the others discussed for a while and decided not to make a move so soon. They would wait until they had stabilized their current territories before advancing.
When that time came, the Fringe would have to change its surname — whether it was Li or Liu, it was all the same. Moreover, the surname Liu would eventually belong to the surname Li. These details could be ignored for the time being.
Fang squatted on the ground. He was waiting for Li Yi to explain to him. However, Li Yi only gave a perfunctory reply and did not say anything else.
He had already noticed that the young master did not seem to like to talk to him recently.
Thinking about it carefully, other than the time when the princess sent a letter to Miss.Liu, he did not offend him in any way.
He thought for a moment and took out a letter from his sleeve. He said, "Young master, actually, the princess sent me a letter today. I didn't let Second Miss see it …"
Li Yi quietly hid the letter in his sleeve. He did not know why, but when he looked at Fang again, he found him much more pleasing to the eye.
"Not bad! You did a good job this time. " He patted Fang's shoulder and quietly returned to his room. He closed the door and leaned against it. He couldn't wait to take out the letter from his sleeve.
He had been waiting for this letter from MIngzhu for a long time.
On the cover, there were four big words, "To Li Yi."
Li Yi was startled and his face darkened.
He glared fiercely at the door. This Fang, is he stupid? This is a letter from MIngzhu, not for Miss.Liu. Why is he acting so secretive? It's like he's meeting with an underground gang. What's there to be afraid of when it's his own letter?
Li Yi was stunned when he opened the letter.
There was no letter paper.
There was no letter paper in the envelope.
Could it be that when she sent the letter, she forgot to put the content in it?
Li Yi's eyes were a little moist. It was not easy for him to wait for a letter from her. It had been nine months. He was about to marry Zuimo Ruoqing, but he only waited for such a letter, and it was a letter without content …
Did she let him imagine it himself?
He turned the envelope over and over, but still did not find the content of the letter. But he found a bunch of hair in the envelope.
This hair should not have been put in accidentally, because it was not one or a few strands, but a bunch, tied with a red band. It was not long, and one end was the tip of the hair, and the other end was cut very neatly. It should have been cut with a sharp tool such as scissors.
It was very strange for MIngzhu to write a letter. Last time, she sent a beating and asked Ruyi to do it. This time, she sent a bunch of hair. Why didn't she send a kiss and ask Ruyi to do it?
Li Yi was about to sit down and study it. After taking two steps, he saw Ruyi sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand and looking at him. He was stunned and asked, "Ruyi, when did you come here?"
"It's been an hour." Miss.Liu put down the book in her hand, looked at him, and asked, "What's in your hand?"
Li Yi looked down at it, then looked at her and said, "A letter."
Miss.Liu asked, "Li MIngzhu sent it?"
Li Yi was surprised and said, "How do you know?"
"When Uncle Fang secretly gave it to you just now, I heard it."
Li Yi straightened the envelope and pointed at the words "For Li Yi" on it. He said solemnly, "You see, this time it's for me. I didn't peek at your letter."
Miss.Liu nodded and asked, "What did she say?"
Then she added, "Of course, if it's something private, I won't ask. After all, I'm not like some people who have a hobby of prying into other people's privacy …"
Li Yi didn't like what she said. What did she mean by having a hobby of prying into other people's privacy? That was concern. Concern was to help her and MIngzhu establish the right outlook on life, values, and the world. She didn't want them to go astray. What's so good about prying into other people's privacy? You'll get beaten for prying into other people's privacy …
It was obvious that she wanted to know, but she pretended that she didn't care.
Ha, women …
"What privacy …" In order to prove his innocence, Li Yi handed over the envelope and said, "There's no privacy between us. You can take a look …"
Miss.Liu took the envelope, opened it, and looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi looked at the empty envelope and was stunned. After a while, he looked at her and asked, "If I say that she didn't say anything and there's no letter in this envelope, would you believe me?"
