Datang: I was tricked by the system

Li Yuan: "..."

It seemed to make some sense, but there seemed to be something wrong.

"But Gao Ming probably won't." Li Yuan said ambiguously as if he suddenly lost his confidence.

Li Yi smiled, "Believe it or not, I heard that he will be beheaded tomorrow, are you sure you don't want to go back and have a look?"

Li Yuan was silent.

Li Yi took another look at Li Lizhi standing not far away who was still in a daze, shook his head lightly, and continued to drink tea. As for Li Yuan and Li Lizhi, it was up to them whether to go or stay.

Not long after, Li Yuan brought Li Lizhi to Li Yi, "Boy, let me discuss something with you."

"No."

Li Yuan stared, "You brat, I haven't even said it yet, how do you know it's okay?"

Li Yi glanced at him lightly, "I'll know if you don't tell me, no!"

He knew exactly what the old man was thinking.

"Brother Li Yi." Li Lizhi walked up to Li Yi with red eyes, and said with a pitiful look:

"Li Yi, please lend us three of your zebras, otherwise I really won't be able to go back to see my emperor brother for the last time."

After all, they are siblings.

Li Lizhi still has deep feelings for Li Chengqian, the emperor's brother, and she really wants to know why the emperor's brother became like this.

I also want to go back and intercede with my father to let him let my brother go.

But tomorrow they will be asked to kill, unless Li Yi's brother is willing to lend them that special zebra, it will be difficult for them to go back, let alone go back to see each other for the last time.

"That's right, brat, just lend us your zebra." Li Yuan took the opportunity to speak.

Du Ruhui also looked at Li Yi with a pleading face, waiting for him to speak.

This is their last hope.

"Brother Li Yi, please, just lend it to us and we will definitely return it." Li Lizhi tugged on Li Yi's sleeve and begged.

"Or, we could give money, you name it, any amount..."
Li Yi sighed, and finally nodded.

"Ji Luo, go and call Xue Rengui over here."

After Ji Luo agreed, Li Yi said, "In order to ensure the safety of the zebras, I will ask Xue Li to accompany you all the way to the outside of Chang'an City."

"Thank you Emperor Yi!"

Du Ruhui quickly thanked him.

Li Yuan chuckled, "Boy, duplicity, if you want someone to protect your grandpa, just say it, and use the name of the horse, really, it seems that I can't catch up with your horse in importance."

"My horse is more important than you." Li Yi said irrefutably.

Soon after Xue Li came, Li Yi made some arrangements, and Xue Rengui led several people to send Li Yuan, Li Lizhi and others out of Youzhou.

Youzhou is far away from Datang, but fortunately, zebras are fast, and they can reach Chang'an in about a whole day.

If Xue Li didn't delay on the way, he would be able to come back tomorrow night.

……

"Yi Huang, Miss Hou Xinran is asking to see you."

Li Yi was dealing with government affairs, when he heard Hou Xinran's name, his writing hand paused, then nodded, "Let her in."

After Hou Xinran came in, she knelt down in front of Li Yi, "Emperor Yi, the daughter of the people has something to ask, please let Emperor Yi do it."

"You said."

For Hou Xinran, Li Yi still felt very guilty.

"Daddy is going to be beheaded tomorrow, and the girl wants to bring some food and clothes to him, at least let him leave with dignity." Having said that, Hou Xinran burst into tears.

At the same time, I feel extremely guilty.

If she hadn't informed her in advance, wouldn't daddy have ended up like this?

"That's right."

Without even thinking about it, Li Yi agreed to Hou Xinran's request. He could not let Hou Junji go according to the previous agreement, but it was okay for Hou Xinran to visit.

After getting Li Yi's permission, Hou Xinran quickly thanked her, went back and made some preparations, and went to the cell with Li Yi's token.

Hou Junji was locked in the innermost room. In order to interrogate his accomplices, the jailers imposed many punishments on him, but he insisted on not saying a word. In desperation, they didn't bother to interrogate him again.

When Hou Xinran walked in, he saw Hou Junji, who was in a mess and covered in scars, tears could not stop falling from his eyes.

"Daddy."

When Hou Junji heard the movement, he slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the person coming, he was relieved, and finally there was a gleam of light in his eyes.

"Xinran, why are you here?"

"Open it, I want to go in." Hou Xinran said to the jailer holding Li Yi's token.

The jailer quickly opened the chain, and after Hou Xinran walked in, he continued, "You guys go down first, and I'll call you later."

The jailer nodded and left.

After everyone left, Hou Xinran rushed over and hugged Hou Junji, "Daddy, I'm sorry, it's my daughter who hurt you."

With a doting smile all over Hou Junji's face, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Hou Xinran's eyes with his rough fingers, like a treasure, "Silly girl, it's not your fault, don't cry, cry It won't look good."

It was fine if Hou Junji didn't say anything, but the more he talked, the more Hou Xinran cried.

"It's all about the daughter's fault. A daughter shouldn't betray her father..."

It was she who shouldn't have believed in Li Yi's promise, and shouldn't have been blinded by love, and finally killed her father.

When he saw Hou Junji covered in wounds, Hou Xinran suddenly showed a strong hatred in his eyes, "Why? Daddy is going to be beheaded, why do they still treat you like this?"

"Daddy is fine, Daddy doesn't hurt, be good..." Hou Junji looked at Hou Xinran with distress, his eyes flushed, "Xinran, Daddy can no longer take care of you in the future, you have to take good care of yourself."

Hou Xinran shook her head desperately, took out the baggage she brought and handed it to Hou Junji, "Daddy, I brought you clothes, and you will pretend to be me and leave here later."

She made the mistake, so let her bear the consequences herself.

Hou Junji shook his head. Although he didn't say anything, he obviously refused. He turned to look at the food box that Hou Xinran had brought, smiled and asked, "Let me see, my precious daughter is brought to me." Something delicious."

Opening the food box and seeing the food inside, Hou Junji sat on the ground and ate contentedly.

Hou Xinran was so distressed that she burst into tears, and persuaded again: "Daddy, don't worry, I will make arrangements after you go out."

"I'll help you freshen up now, as long as you are careful, you can definitely get out of here."
Hou Junji shook his head, grabbed Hou Xinran's hand and said, "It's useless, don't waste your efforts."
Li Yi will not let him go, nor will he let Xinran take this risk.

"No, Daddy..."
"Xinran, listen well, what Dad is going to say next is very important, and it can save your life if necessary."
