Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The emperor didn't answer, just looked at Li Ji steadfastly.

The others all lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath.

The hall of Hanzhang fell into deathly silence.

The emperor closed his eyes.

If it was someone else who dared to say such outrageous words in front of him, he would have dragged him out and beheaded him long ago.

But now he just took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

"Do you know what the crime is for murdering the prince?"

Li Ji didn't care much about authenticity.

"Left and right are just a death. Anyway, being killed by the prince is death. It's better to give it a go. At least you can let out a bad breath before you die."

The emperor was so angry at his fearless appearance that his heart ached.

Seeing the emperor covering his heart and frowning, Zuo Ji was startled, and hurried forward to support the emperor.

Zuo Ji patted the emperor's back to comfort him, and at the same time gave instructions to the little eunuch next to him.

"Go and get Ning Xindan!"

The little eunuch hurried to open the cabinet and took out a small box from it.

Holding the box, he ran to Zuo Ji.

Zuo Ji took out a brown pill from the box, handed it to the emperor, and persuaded him at the same time.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial physician's order says that you must keep calm now, and you must not get angry."

After the emperor took the medicine, he felt that the pain in his heart eased slightly.

He waved.

"You all back down."

Zuo Ji immediately led everyone back out.

Only the emperor and Li Ji were left in the room.

Looking at the tall and tall young man in front of him, the emperor seemed to see himself when he was young.

He sighed softly.

"When I was young, I was as vigorous as you.

If anyone dares to provoke me, I will fight to the death with the other party, regardless of the other party's identity.

For this I have suffered a lot.

Fortunately, with God's blessing and good luck, he was lucky enough to sit on the throne.

But not everyone is as lucky as me.

Do you understand what I mean? "

Li Ji said, "I am a humble minister, and I dare not compare myself with Your Majesty."

Emperor: "There is no one else here, you don't need to care about your status, just treat me as an elder in your family."

Li Ji: "I don't dare."

The air fell into dead silence again.

The emperor closed his eyes, and when he spoke again, his tone became severe.

"I'll ask you one last time, does the prince's death have anything to do with you?"

Li Ji didn't answer and asked instead: "If my minister says it doesn't matter, will you believe it?"

The emperor lowered his voice: "You just need to answer yes or no."

Li Ji replied without hesitation.

"No."

The emperor did not speak, and he did not know whether he believed it or not.

Li Ji continued.

"It is true that the minister has murderous intentions towards the prince, but the minister has not had time to do it in the future.

If His Majesty feels that the minister is suspected of killing the prince, he can order someone to take him into custody. "

The emperor felt a little pain in his heart.

But he didn't reach out to touch his heart, but frowned at Li Ji, and said slowly.

"I am willing to believe everything you say, but it is your duty to protect the prince.

Now the prince is killed, this is your dereliction of duty.

You go to get twenty army sticks first, and then go back to King Zhao's mansion to contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors.

Before the case of the prince's murder is clarified, you cannot leave the palace, nor can you meet anyone outside the palace. "

Li Ji replied calmly: "My minister obeys the order."

He waited for a while, and seeing that the emperor had no other orders, he took his leave.

The emperor suddenly asked at this moment.

"When you wanted to kill the prince, did you ever think that he was..."

Li Ji quietly waited for his next words.

However, after waiting for a long time, I couldn't wait for the following words.

In the end the emperor just waved his hand.

"Forget it, let's go."

Li Ji cupped his hands and retreated silently.

After walking out of Hanzhang Hall, the sun shrouded him again, but he still didn't feel the warmth.

The emperor's unfinished sentence just now was like a thorn, stabbing hard into Li Ji's heart.

Li Ji could hear the voices of others.

Just now he clearly heard the words in the emperor's heart——

"When you wanted to kill the prince, did you ever think that he was your brother?"

Li Ji couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled sarcastically.

What sibling?

It's just a bunch of bugs with dirty blood.

What kind of blood relationship between insects?

It's ridiculous!

At the gate of Hanzhang Hall, there were already flying dragon riders waiting with military sticks.

When they saw King Zhao coming, they all clasped their fists and saluted.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for offending you."

Li Ji didn't say anything, turned around, turned his back to the direction of Hanzhang Hall, took off his coat, threw it aside casually, and said casually.

"Hurry up, I'm still rushing home."

The two flying dragon riders didn't say much, and immediately swung their military sticks with thick forearms, and hit King Zhao hard on the back.

The stick hit the flesh, making a heavy muffled sound.

Wu Wang stood by and supervised.

He felt pain just hearing the voice, but King Zhao didn't even frown.

When hitting the tenth time, a group of people hurried towards this side.

Wu Wang looked intently, and it was actually the phoenix chariot that the empress was riding on!

He hurried forward to greet him respectfully.

"The servants pay homage to the empress."

The queen was sitting in the car, her face was pale, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

She ignored Wu Wang and looked straight at King Zhao.

At this time, the flying dragon knight had hit the thirteenth hit.

Seeing this, Wu Wang hurriedly explained.

"King Zhao committed the crime of dereliction of duty because he failed to protect the prince. The saint ordered him to punish him twenty times."

The queen chuckled lightly, her tone full of mockery.

"The only son of the palace is gone, but the saint only punished him with twenty rods, which is too lenient."

Wu Wang didn't dare to answer, he quickly lowered his head, pretending he didn't hear anything.

The queen stood up and slowly got out of the car with the help of the maid.

She walked slowly in front of King Zhao.

At this time, Li Ji had been beaten to the nineteenth blow, leaving only the last blow.

The clothes on his back were already bleeding, and his brows were slightly frowned, but his body still stood upright, like a sharp spear that towered above the sky, and no one could make him bow down.

The Queen said, "Stop."

The two flying dragonriders immediately stopped their movements and looked at the queen together.

The queen looked King Zhao up and down, her gaze seemed to be light and light, but it was poisonous, with a sinister meaning.

"My son died tragically at the hands of bandits, but you came back safe and sound, even your legs recovered."

Li Ji's back was already bright red, but his expression was still calm: "This only shows that I should not die."

The queen pressed her, "Then should this palace's son deserve to die?"

Li Ji: "The prince's death has nothing to do with me, even if you get angry at me, it's useless."

The queen sneered, not believing it at all.

Before Li Cheng left Beijing, she could see that her son wanted to do something to King Zhao.

She tried her best to dissuade him, but Li Cheng agreed at that time, and said that he would not mess around.

But based on her understanding of her son, Li Cheng might not be able to do it.
