Qin Yining heard the news that Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu were fighting in front of the Prince Consort's Manor on the same day and was stunned.
They weren't children, so how could they fight like this?
Two war gods fighting because of a woman, and it wasn't a competition of martial arts, but a fight of fists and kicks. Just thinking about it, Qin Yining couldn't bear to look at it.
Weren't these two afraid that the Tiger Army and Dragon Stallion Army soldiers would find it hard to accept?
However, Qin Yining didn't need to think too much and could guess what was going on.
Regardless of whether Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu agreed to put on a show, or if he purposely provoked Ji Zeyu to fight, this scene was definitely what Your Majesty wanted to see.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew what Li Qitian was planning. He was slowly encroaching on the two nobles who held military power. He spared no effort in weakening Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu's suspicions.
For example, Ji Zeyu, who was more obedient, he thought of ways to rope them in. For example, for Pang Xiao, who had high prestige but was still stubborn, he continuously weakened them.
In short, the current situation in the imperial court should be very much to Li Qitian's liking.
As expected, when Li Qitian heard the eunuch report that the two were fighting in front of the Prince Consort's Manor, his eyebrows raised high.
His finger, which had a jade ring on it, tapped on the armrest of the dragon throne happily. However, his face had an expression of disbelief as he frowned and said, "Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"
Head Eunuch Li Guanwen hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how could this servant not hear such a small matter clearly? This piece of news really surprised this servant. The people outside have already spread the news. Everyone is saying that Prince Zhongshun and Prince Consort Ji were angry because of a beauty. In their anger, they didn't even care about their face. "
This banter put Li Qitian in a good mood. He couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
"He's still young after all. He's still in the mood to fight over a girl." Li Qitian said with nostalgia in his eyes, "I don't even remember if I've ever felt this way before."
Li Guanwen raised his eyebrows. He wondered what Your Majesty was thinking. Why would she talk about love with him, a chamberlain? He wouldn't understand. However, there was still a lot of flattery in his mouth.
"Your Majesty, you are at the best age for a man. There are so many women who admire you. You are just busy with court affairs and have no time to talk about these things."
Li Qitian smiled and shook his head: "Those vulgar women, each and every one of them is only trying to flatter me because I am the Emperor, in order to obtain benefits from the gaps between my fingers, I know that in my heart."
"Aiyo, Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the world. You are rich and in the prime of your life. How can you ask women not to fear your dragon nature?"
These words were said with a bit of rebuke and a bit of jest. More of it was said with the lowly status of a chamberlain. He praised Li Qitian's majesty as the Emperor and his charm as a man.
Li Qitian didn't say anything, but he was very happy in his heart. His mood was better than ever.
"You servant, you know a lot."
"How could this servant know these things? I just saw it with my own eyes and spoke the truth." Li Guanwen appeared to be in fear and trepidation.
Li Qitian laughed again when he heard this. He snorted and said, "You have a glib tongue. You only know how to say nice things to coax me."
"This servant doesn't dare. This servant is loyal and devoted to Your Majesty. I only know how to speak the truth. "
Li Qitian finally couldn't help but laugh. "I know you are loyal. Forget it. You go to Prince Zhongshun's residence and Prince Consort's residence for me. Call the Imperial Physician and take a good look at their injuries. Don't make their injuries too serious. "
Li Qitian stood up and paced a few steps with his hands behind his back. He shook his head and said, "They are both pillars of the country. The war hasn't even started yet, but they are already killing each other. It's really unseemly for outsiders to see. You also say a few words to them for me. "
"Yes. This servant will definitely bring Your Majesty's care and admonishment. "
Li Qitian nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied that Li Guanwen had grasped the main point of his words. He waved his hand and said, "Go. Carefully observe their situation and report back to me. "
"As you wish." Li Guanwen's expression turned cold. He secretly analyzed what kind of news Li Qitian wanted to hear the most. He respectfully retreated.
Li Guanwen first took Imperial Physician Ma to the Prince Consort's residence.
Ji Zeyu's handsome face was cold like an ice sculpture. Facing Li Guanwen, a great eunuch that many officials wanted to curry favor with, he only nodded slightly.
Li Guanwen didn't dare to neglect. He respectfully bowed and quickly glanced at Ji Zeyu's red and swollen forehead. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look.
Imperial Physician Ma took Ji Zeyu's pulse and examined him. He said, "Prince Consort, these are all superficial wounds. It's not serious. Apply some medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. It'll be fine after a massage."
Ji Zeyu faintly responded.
When Imperial Physician Ma went to instruct the servants on how to apply the medicine, Li Guanwen said, "Prince Consort Ji, Your Majesty instructed this servant to ask you what exactly happened."
Ji Zeyu coldly snorted. "Pang Zhixi is too much of a bully. She deserves a beating!" He angrily flicked his sleeves and left.
Li Guanwen stood in the same place. He knew that Ji Zeyu's personality was like this, so he didn't bicker with him. After Imperial Physician Ma instructed the servants in the Prince Consort's residence, he went to Prince Zhongshun's residence.
The reception in the Prince Consort's residence was much more enthusiastic than that of the Prince Consort's residence.
The doorman passed the message inside. Not long after, the Prince Consort's chief steward, Xu Weizhi, came out to greet Li Guanwen politely.
"Chief Steward Li, please take a seat inside."
"You flatter me. I came here by imperial edict and am in a hurry to report back. May I know where Prince Zhongshun is?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xu Weizhi's face. He tried to cover it up and said, "Ah, Prince Zhongshun will be coming out soon."
When Li Guanwen saw this, he became even more curious.
Xu Weizhi led Li Guanwen to the front hall first. He accompanied him on the side and urged the servant to pass the message inside. He lowered his voice and instructed, "Just say that Chief Steward Li from the palace is here. If Madam Pang wants to be punished to kneel, wait a moment."
The servant hurriedly left.
Li Guanwen keenly caught the words "Madam Pang" and "kneel as punishment". He couldn't help but feel surprised.
He didn't expect that Prince Zhongshun, who was like a tyrant, would be punished to kneel at home.
Li Guanwen thought for a moment and suddenly realized something.
He didn't expect Madam Pang to be so dignified when she returned to Prince Zhongshun's residence. Prince Zhongshun, who had outstanding military achievements, was also so filial. He actually listened to whatever his di mother said.
Li Guanwen repeatedly clicked his tongue. He felt that Your Majesty would definitely want to know about the interactions between Prince Zhongshun and his di mother.
Therefore, Li Guanwen immediately put on the airs of the Chief of Eunuchs and said, "Your Majesty also ordered me to send my regards to Madam Pang. Why don't we go and see? "As he said this, he stepped into the inner residence.
Xu Weizhi's face turned pale when he heard this. He anxiously scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "This, this is not appropriate. Our Wang Ye will be coming out soon."
"Hmm?" Li Guanwen dragged his voice and looked at Xu Weizhi with great dignity. "I came here by imperial edict. Are you going to defy imperial edict?"
"I don't dare. This lowly one doesn't dare." Xu Weizhi's body trembled. He hastily bowed and apologized. He said with great fear, "I hope Chief Steward doesn't take offense. Since Chief Steward came here by imperial edict, I think the master inside won't have any complaints. Chief Steward, please come with me. "
