"Puff!"
A basin of cold water with crushed ice poured down,
Li Yuanji's waving movements suddenly froze,
As if he was suddenly frozen, he shivered a moment later,
His lips moved,
But he did not make a sound.
He stood in the puddle, water dripping down from the tips of his hair, nose, and chin,
He raised his eyes and looked around,
He saw that the emperor and ministers in the hall were looking at him as if they were looking at a fool.
He opened his mouth again,
But he still did not make a sound.
Why? What was going on?
He was at a loss for a long time.
It was like a person standing outside the stove watching a roast duck, enjoying the fat duck's skin turning from pale to delicious brown with relish,
Enjoying the tempting fragrance that still carried the smell of blood, but he suddenly realized that..,
He was the duck that was naked and hung in the oven to be roasted, being pointed out how fat and thin it was..
Anger, embarrassment, disbelief.
His body was extremely cold, and his mind, which had not completely sobered up from the drunkenness, seemed to be on fire.
The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop,
But he seemed to hear countless roars in his ears, making his head hurt.
"Father," he laughed,
His voice was very loud, but he could not hear it. "Father, who made you angry? Tell your son, your son will take care of him for you! "
No one spoke,
The surroundings were dead silent.
Li Jiancheng looked at him with pity,
He advised softly, "Yuanji,
Kneel down to father... "
Before he finished speaking..,
He was interrupted by a loud roar, "Shut up!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! " Li Jiancheng had already shut his mouth. Only Li Yuanji's roar could be heard in the hall. He tried his best to shout, but he could not alleviate the coldness and stiffness that came from his bone marrow.
Li Yuanji stood in place, panting heavily, his entire body trembling. His gaze swept across Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, the ministers in the hall, and the scattered things on the ground, he finally recognized his situation again.
"It wasn't me!" He looked at Li Yuan with bloodshot eyes, roaring angrily: "It wasn't me!"
Li Yuanji's angry eyes carried a bit of pleading, a bit of expectation. Li Yuan looked at him coldly, not saying a word, making his heart continue to sink bit by bit, as if sinking into the Nine Hells Purgatory that would never see light.
"What do you mean it's not you? The person in the painting isn't you? Isn't Zheng Da your man? You didn't leave the mansion when you were grounded? "Li Jiancheng sighed and said," Yuanji, don't make father emperor angry anymore. "
Li Yuanji glared at Li Jiancheng, gritting his teeth. "I don't know what painting is, and I don't know who Zheng Da is! You've wronged me, all of you have wronged me! "
Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Yuanji, listen to me. Don't make a fuss. This matter isn't something that can be resolved just by making a fuss …"
"Shut up!" Li Yuanji roared angrily. If he still didn't know who was behind this, he would be a complete idiot.
Li Jiancheng! Good! Li Jiancheng, good Li Jiancheng!
"Li Jiancheng, don't …"
Dou Chengji smiled bitterly and interrupted, "His Highness The Prince Of Qi, the witnesses and evidence are all here, you don't have to force yourself anymore. The robbers, the boss of the pawnshop, the waiter of the tea shop, and the officials who came to send Pei daren off, they can all … "
"It's you!" Li Yuanji turned his head fiercely like a lion that had found its prey, looking at him ferociously: "You framed me?"
"Your Highness, this subject is only speaking the truth …" Dou Chengji had not finished speaking, his expression changed greatly, saying in a panic: "Your Highness … this subject …"
Li Yuanji had already snatched the sword from the imperial guard's hand, slashing it over randomly: "You framed me!"
In an instant, the hall was in a mess. Some cried out in alarm, some tried to escape, some tried to stop him … Dou Chengji dodged in a panic and was hit in the shoulder by the sword, falling to the ground with blood flowing out.
Li Yuanji was slightly stunned. Li Jiancheng hugged him from behind and shouted: "Yuanji, calm down! What kind of place is this and you dare to use a sword to kill people? Are you trying to rebel? "
Li Yuanji had already given up on struggling, but when he heard the word 'rebel', he was furious. He struggled fiercely and laughed coldly: "Don't think that I …"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Jiancheng was pushed back and hit his head on the dragon pillar, making a dull thud. He steadied himself and reached out to touch the back of his head. When he brought it up again, there was a patch of bright red on it.
Everyone was shocked: "Your Highness! Your Highness! "
"Your Highness is injured!"
"Imperial Physician, quickly find an imperial physician!"
"…"
Li Jiancheng waved his hand: "It's fine, I'm fine."
Li Yuanji pointed the long sword in his hand at Li Jiancheng and sneered: "Good, good, the grand …"
Before his voice fell, Li Yuan's trembling voice came from behind: "Seize him! Seize this unfilial son for me! "
Li Yuanji turned his head fiercely: "Father Emperor! You don't believe me? They … Ugh! "
However, Li Shimin seized the long sword and forced him to kneel on the ground with his right hand pressed behind his back. Li Yuanji did not seem to notice, still shouting at the top of his lungs: "They lied to you, they colluded and played you like a fool …"
Li Yuan was so angry that his vision darkened. He fell on the dragon throne and pointed at him with a trembling finger: "Take him away! Take him away! "
*****
The Taiji Palace Hall was turned upside down, but the Lin family's banquet was joyous and harmonious. The two people drinking were already half drunk. The one who clamored for San Zhen wine was Wei Zheng, but he himself drank Nu 'er Hong. Half of the half jar of strong wine from Tianran Residence had already entered Lin Ruo's stomach.
"When the King Of Qi was dragged out, he was still shouting non-stop like a madman. His hair was also scattered, his shoes fell off, his body was covered in water and mud, he looked more miserable than a beggar. There were many people on the street watching! " Lin Chuan spoke with a little excitement about the news that just came: "The Minister of Ministry of Justice was carried out, saying that he was slashed on the shoulder by the King Of Qi. Half of his body was covered in blood, it looked like the injury was not light. As for those officials who asked for orders, some walked out on their own, and some were carried out. All of them were in a daze, trembling with fear, where was the previous high-spirited appearance? Oh, right, I heard that His Majesty was angered by the King Of Qi to the point of fainting, but he woke up very quickly. I don't know if there was any lingering illness … A few princes were prepared to stay behind to take care of His Majesty, but they were driven out by His Majesty. "
Lin Ruo and Wei Zheng looked at each other. Wei Zheng sighed softly, Lin Ruo said indifferently: "His Highness The Prince Of Qi is indeed a smart person."
Wei Zheng lowered his head and drank.
Lin Ruo waved his hand to dismiss Lin Chuan. He held the pot and filled Wei Zheng's cup, saying: "Uncle Wei, Ah Ruo has a request."
Wei Zheng didn't answer. He stared at him and said: "When did you train to have such a high alcohol tolerance?"
Everyone drank about the same amount, but he drank Nu 'er Hong, while this fellow drank Three Treasures Wine. It should be known that "Three Treasures Wine" should actually be called "Three Distilled Wine", which was much better than ordinary wine. This fellow drank so much, there was no reason for him to be more sober than him.
Lin Ruo smiled and said, "Uncle Wei, my uncle has finally agreed to remarry and give birth to a younger brother for me. However, he doesn't seem to care about it. I can't possibly help him to look for someone. Can you …"
Wei Zheng stared at Lin Ruo until he felt a little guilty. Only then did he shake his head with a smile and said calmly: "Your uncle and I are close friends. You don't need to ask for his help, and I won't stand by and do nothing … I'll ask your Auntie Wei to find a wife who is virtuous and good at raising children for him. How about it?"
Lin Ruo stood up and bowed to Wei Zheng: "Thank you, Uncle Wei."
This bow wasn't to thank him for "arranging a marriage". Both of them were smart people, so they had a tacit understanding.
Wei Zheng sighed and asked him to sit down: "You didn't think about anything in the past, but now you think too much … Little Shu's matter scared you too much. Don't worry, your uncle isn't that silly fellow Little Shu. In the past, when you didn't know anything, he was able to take care of you and himself. Not to mention now. "
He smiled and said: "Just a bow isn't enough to be your uncle's matchmaker. Quickly bring some sincere gifts of thanks!"
At this moment, Lin Ruo's entire body relaxed. She spread out her hands and said, "Uncle Wei, take whichever part of me you like the most."
Wei Zheng laughed and scolded: "You rascal!"
He happily drank a cup of wine and said: "The only thing in your residence that I like is this' Three Treasures Wine '. Later, send me a few more jars."
He was drinking Nu 'er Hong, but he was praising the Three Treasures Wine. Lin Ruo looked at Wei Zheng in astonishment, then smiled and said: "I don't have any of this Three Treasures Wine. If Uncle Wei likes it, I'll tell the owner of Tianran Residence to send you a few jars every month. Is that okay?"
The owner of Tianran Residence … wasn't Yun Qiaojiao.
"Okay."
Wei Zheng answered decisively.
Seeing that Lin Ruo was moved, Wei Zheng waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, it's not for you!"
The smile on his face disappeared and he said indifferently: "Now that the Crown Prince and I are suspicious of each other, and I hate it, there's no point in continuing. Why don't we part on good terms while we still have some feelings for each other? Logically speaking, I should maintain my status and wait for that person to visit me three times after I regain my freedom. Only when the time is right will I accept him. But since I've already decided, what's the point of being so pretentious? Why don't I just shamelessly cling to him … If he says I betrayed him, then I betrayed him. "
Lin Ruo shook his head: "Uncle Wei, why do you have to belittle yourself like this? You've never done anything to let him down. "
Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Being a monk for a day means hitting the bell for a day. It's time for the Crown Prince to return to his residence. As the Crown Prince's horse washing, it's time for me to return."
Lin Ruo stood up to send him off, but Wei Zheng stopped him and said: "You drank a lot too, rest! I'll walk by myself. "
Lin Ruo said: "The Crown Prince is probably in a bad mood right now. Uncle Wei, you drank so much at my place. Won't you be his punching bag?"
Wei Zheng waved his hand and said: "Let him vent his anger."
He stood up and walked out.
Lin Ruo followed him and helped him to the carriage before returning. He said to Lin Chuan: "Go to Tianranju, no, go to the King Of Qin's residence. Tell His Highness the King Of Qin that the Lord Wei likes Tianranju's Three Treasures Wine very much." Letting them pass on the message was not as prudent as directly telling the Duke of Qin … Tonight, Wei Zheng might be able to drink the fine wine that Li Shimin personally delivered.
What Li Shimin lacked the most at the moment was someone like Wei Zheng. With Li Shimin's only shortcoming, who in the Tang Empire could be his opponent?
He was also slightly angry: He still said that he wouldn't do what he should do this time and would only do what he wanted to do. What a liar!
The master behind Tianranju was the King Of Qin. Wei Zheng came to the Lin Family at this time and repeatedly mentioned 'Three Treasures Wine'. His meaning was self-evident.
