When he held Shouning's hand again and walked out of the room, Li Xuan and MIngzhu were already waiting outside the door.
MIngzhu looked at Shouning with a worried expression.
Li Xuan walked over and was about to speak when Li Yi looked at them and said, "Let's talk when we get back."
…
In the Li family.
Because Shouning's eyes were swollen like peaches, Ruyi and Third Miss Chen looked at him with reproach. Miss.Liu looked at him with slight disdain. It was shameful for him to bully a child because he couldn't beat her.
Li Yi naturally couldn't explain anything. On the contrary, Shouning kept smiling and saying that she was fine. They held her hand and asked her all kinds of questions.
In the room, Li Yi and Li Xuan sat opposite each other. They didn't look at each other.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Li Xuan drank a cup of tea and put it on the table fiercely. He gritted his teeth and said, "Am I so scary that you moved your whole family out of the capital?"
"You're not scary." Li Yi shook his head and said, "You're just stupid."
Li Xuan suddenly hit the table and said angrily, "How dare you scold me?"
"What's wrong with scolding you?" Li Yi looked at him and said in an unfriendly tone, "Try hitting the table again. Do you believe that I won't hit you?"
Li Xuan didn't dare to try because he knew that Li Yi really dared to hit him. Most importantly, he couldn't beat him.
He leaned against the chair with some frustration and said, "I didn't think it through. I didn't discuss it with you in advance … Is there no way to make it up? Do you have to leave?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "No."
Li Xuan looked at him and said anxiously, "Are you just going to leave this mess to me and MIngzhu?"
"First of all, this is not a mess. Right now, the seas are clear and the rivers are peaceful, the court is bright, and the Jing Kingdom is developing vigorously. Based on the current situation, it will still develop vigorously for many more years …" Li Yi looked at him and shook his head. "Second of all, although we are both surnamed Li, this world belongs to the Li family, not the Li family. I don't owe the royal family anything. Do you want me to waste my life in Jingdou and work for the royal family for the rest of my life?"
"You don't owe us the royal family? How do you have the cheek to say that? " Li Xuan stared at him angrily and said, "You left and took away the people of Yong Ning and MIngzhu's heart, and now you want to take away Shouning — the three most important princesses of the royal family have been taken away by you. You dare say you don't owe us the royal family!"
Li Yi suddenly did not know how to refute. He thought for a long time and said, "I've already repaid what I owed the royal family … I gave the royal family a prosperous and stable time. It's not too much to abduct three princesses, right?"
Li Xuan looked at him and said seriously, "We have known each other for so long. Can you … even if it's just once, can you have a little bit of face?"
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "Let me tell you, although we are very familiar with each other, although you are the Emperor, if you continue to make personal attacks like this, I will still hit you."
Li Xuan looked at him and shook his head. "Touch your conscience. Can you still say what you just said?"
Li Yi put his hand on his chest and said, "Even if I touch my conscience, I will still take Yong Ning with me. If Shouning wants to leave, I will still take her with me. MIngzhu … MIngzhu, wait for me to come back."
"What about me?" Li Xuan looked at him and said expectantly, "Why don't you take me with you as well?"
Li Yi: "— —"
He could take away the princesses, but taking away the Emperor — Li Yi didn't plan to do so for now.
"Three requests." Li Xuan looked at him and said, "I have three requests."
"First, every month … at least write a letter to me every month. Don't be half-hearted. Each letter must have at least 5,000 words. Don't make up the number of words …"
"Second, Shu Zhou. I will give Shu Zhou to you. You are the Gyeong Of Silla, so a Prince should have a fief. That place is your fief. I will transfer the provincial governor of Shu Zhou back. From now on, all the affairs of Shu Zhou will be handed over to you. You can do whatever you want. But you must remember, you are the Gyeong Of Silla. You are the Gyeong Of Silla of the Jing Kingdom. You have the kingdom and me behind you. Whenever I want to find you, I can find you in Shu Zhou …"
"Third, if you encounter anything interesting, don't forget me …"
"Only these three requests." Li Xuan looked at him and said, "As long as you agree to my three requests, you can take away Yongning, Shouning … and if MIngzhu is willing, you can even take her with you."
Li Yi looked at him and thought for a while. Then he nodded and said, "I promise you."
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Words are no proof."
Li Yi raised three fingers and said, "I swear."
"I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe a man's mouth. I don't believe your oath." Li Xuan shook his head firmly and took out a piece of paper from his bosom. He also took out the ink and said, "These are the three requests I just wrote. You can sign them."
Li Yi took it and looked at it. He didn't expect Li Xuan to be smart this time. He looked at him and asked, "Can I not sign them? Can you trust me for once?"
Li Xuan shook his head even more firmly.
Li Yi picked up the pen and used his thumb to press on the ink. If he wanted to sign them, then sign them. Once he left the capital, he would be like a fish swimming in the sea and a bird flying in the sky. How could a man be bound by a piece of paper?
"Do you think that a man can't be bound by a piece of paper?" Li Xuan put away the paper that he had signed and said, "If you violate any of these, I will have the local authorities put up notices like 'Gyeong Of Silla Li Yi is a bastard who doesn't keep his word' everywhere in the Jing Kingdom. I want all the people to know what happens to people who don't keep their word."
"We're all friends. There's no need to be so cruel, is there?"
"There's no use to you!"
Li Xuan looked at him, stood up, and strode out of the room.
…
In the courtyard, Shouning was surrounded by women. Third Miss Chen looked at her red and swollen eyes and said with some heartache, "I'll go get two eggs and put them on …"
Yong Ning held her hand and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't cry, Royal Sister. I'll beg Brother to take you with him …"
Shouning hugged her and said, "In the future, when I'm not by your side, you have to be good and remember to eat on time. Don't eat too much sweets, or else you'll have toothaches. You have to get used to sleeping alone …"
Yong Ning nodded obediently and said, "Royal Sister, I know. I'll be good …"
Li Duan ran around the courtyard alone. Shouning walked over and picked him up. She whispered, "Duaner, we're going to leave soon. You have to grow up quickly. The next time we meet, I'll bring you to play a lot of fun things …"
"Xiao Niang, play …" Li Duan looked at her and grinned.
