Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Li Ji smiled pretendingly.

"Look at how filial His Majesty the Fourth Highness is. Your Majesty is truly blessed to have such a filial son like you."

What he said was so yin and yang that it was not only the fourth prince Li Ying who heard it harshly, but even the emperor felt awkward.

The emperor coughed softly: "I have already sent people to hunt down the Dongyang King and his group. As for my body, I have the imperial physicians to help me take care of it. You don't need to worry about it."

He looked at Li Ying and said.

"I'm not going to force you to get married now, you go back and think about it, I will use this time to let people search for you, and I will definitely find a suitable marriage for you."

Speaking of this, if Li Ying still refuses, it seems too ignorant of flattery.

He could only suppress the resentment and unwillingness in his heart, and lowered his head.

"The sons and ministers all listen to the father."

Seeing the fourth prince's obedience, the emperor was quite relieved, but at the same time couldn't help but secretly regret in his heart.

Such a good child, how could there be such a humble birth mother who doesn't obey women's morals?

What a pity.

The emperor turned to look at Li Ji, with a smile on his face and a gentle tone.

"You have made a great contribution this time, what reward do you want?"

Li Ji is now a prince, and there is no room for further advancement.

This is also one of the reasons why the emperor did not want him to take over the military power.

If Li Ji is allowed to continue to make meritorious service, the emperor will have no rewards and no seals.

Li Ji: "It is my honor to be able to serve His Majesty. How dare I ask for a reward?"

Before the emperor could speak, Li Ji changed the subject and continued.

"But since His Majesty has already opened his mouth to reward this humble official, this humble official cannot but appreciate it.

Now Weichen's concubine is pregnant, and there is no experienced nanny around to help take care of her.

If His Majesty can pick two nuns from the palace to bring back to this humble minister, then this humble minister will be satisfied. "

The emperor was a little worried that Li Ji would take the opportunity to speak loudly, but now it seems that he was overly worried. Li Ji seemed to be acting recklessly, but he actually had a sense of proportion in his heart.

Because of this, the emperor felt more pity for Li Ji.

"It's just two slaves, how can this be considered a reward? Later, I will have someone choose two of them to send to you. In addition, I will reward you with a thousand acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold."

Li Ji leaned down: "My humble minister, thank you Lord Long En."

The emperor wanted to stay with Li Ji for dinner, but was declined by Li Ji.

"The minister has to go home to accompany the princess, so I won't disturb His Majesty's meal."

The emperor was very angry.

King Zhao is the only person in the world who dares to reject him.

This kid really married a wife and forgot his father!

The emperor drove people away with a straight face.

Zuo Ji personally sent the man out of the imperial study.

Li Jizheng sighed unintentionally.

"It was so good at first, why did the king of Dongyang turn it against him? This happened too suddenly, and people were not prepared at all."

Zuo Ji also sighed.

"Who said it wasn't?

The sage was just going out to escape the summer heat, never thought that so many things would happen in the palace.

A good fifth prince, if you say it is gone, it will be gone. "

Li Ji seemed a little uncertain: "The fifth prince was really killed by King Dongyang?"

Many people in the palace saw this, it was not a secret, so Zuo Ji did not hide it, and answered truthfully.

"Naturally it is true!"

Li Ji: "The sage must have been very sad when he heard about this, right?"

This matter is related to the emperor, so you can't tell others casually.

But Zuo Ji knew that King Zhao was the emperor's illegitimate son, and he wanted to show off King Zhao's face, so he said in a low voice.

"It's not just sad, is it?

The saint was also so angry that his old illness relapsed, which frightened many people.

It was also because the sage was ill that he couldn't go back to the palace immediately to see King Dongyang.

I can only ask the people around me to make a trip on my behalf, wanting to bring Dongyang King to the saint, and ask Dongyang king to give the saint an explanation.

It's a pity that Dongyang King is obsessed with his obsession, making mistakes again and again.

In the end, they raised their troops to rebel and almost caused a catastrophe. It is really hateful! "

Li Ji remembered what Man Man had said to him before going out this morning.

Manman said that she had a face-to-face conversation with Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian said that the reason why she and King Dongyang rebelled was entirely out of self-preservation, and they were forced to do nothing.

In Concubine Xian's view, the emperor wanted to kill her son, and as a mother, she couldn't just sit idly by and try her best to keep her son's life alive.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to risk everything and planned the palace change.

Li Ji felt that this was not the case.

If the emperor is determined to kill the king of Dongyang to avenge the fifth prince, then after the emperor learns that the fifth prince has been killed, he will issue an order to publicly convict the king of Dongyang, and then have people send the imperial decree back to Shangjing to order Dali Temple took Dongyang King into custody.

Only in this way can we ensure nothing goes wrong.

But in fact, the emperor hurriedly sent troops back to Beijing to quell the chaos after learning the news that King Dongyang had rebelled.

What Concubine Xian said was inconsistent with the facts.

Li Ji felt that there must be something strange about this matter.

So he planned to take the opportunity of entering the palace to find someone to inquire about it.

Hearing Zuo Ji's words at this time, Li Ji understood all the incomprehensible things in his heart at once!

Why does Concubine Xian feel that the emperor wants to kill her son?

Why did King Dongyang suddenly rebel?

Why was the emperor unprepared for Dongyang King's rebellion?

Because the emperor never thought of killing Dongyang King from the beginning.

He just wanted someone to take over King Dongyang and ask him about it.

Unexpectedly, some people obstructed it and intentionally created a misunderstanding, which caused King Dongyang to mistakenly think that his father was going to kill him. In order to protect himself, King Dongyang had to temporarily decide to rebel.

If you think about it this way, all the logic will be smooth!

Li Ji asked: "Who is the person sent by the sage to meet King Dongyang?"

Just as Zuo Ji was speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Eunuch Zuo, Your Highness King Zhao, why are you two standing here?"

Li Ji and Zuo Ji followed the prestige and saw Wu Wang walking towards them.

Wu Wang cupped his hands: "My servant pays homage to His Royal Highness King Zhao."

The moment Li Ji looked at him, he suddenly heard the other party's voice——

"Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise I would be exposed."

Li Ji narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly: "Why did Eunuch Wu suddenly come over?"

Wu Wang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, your Highness can just call the maidservant's name directly."

Li Ji stared into his eyes and asked.

"Where were you just now? Why didn't the king notice you?"

Wu Wang: "The maidservant was busy with other things just now, and saw you and Eunuch Zuo as soon as she arrived."

In fact, he had been here for a while, but because he deliberately hid his breath and hid beside him, no one noticed his existence.

He took the opportunity to hear the conversation between King Zhao and Zuo Ji, and he couldn't help feeling vigilant.

What did King Zhao inquire about so much? Could it be that he was suspicious?
