Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

When Li Ji returned to the palace, he saw a carriage parked at the gate of the palace, and the palace lantern was still hanging on the carriage.

That is a unique lantern in the palace.

Li Ji casually threw the reins to the servant and asked.

"Are there any guests in the mansion?"

The servant held the whip in both hands, and responded respectfully.

"Someone came from the palace just now, saying that there is something important to tell the prince, but the prince is not here, so the princess asked people to wait in the flower hall."

Li Ji strode into the flower hall, but saw that there were no guests in the flower hall, only Li Xun was teasing Sanhuamao.

Li Ji asked: "Where are the people in the palace?"

Li Xun said while stroking the cat.

"It's just an imperial doctor, I've already sent him away."

Regarding this, Li Ji didn't say much, but asked, "What is that man here for?"

"It's nothing, I just came here to tell us that the little emperor in the palace has woken up, but there seems to be something wrong with his mind."

When Li Xun said this, he pointed to the forehead with his finger.

"I heard that he became stupid and stupid, and became a little fool."

Li Ji nodded, indicating that he knew.

He turned to leave, but was stopped by Li Xun.

"Father, do you believe that he has really become a fool?"

Li Ji asked without answering, "Do you suspect that he is pretending to be crazy?"

Li Xun: "It's not impossible."

If it was him, in a desperate situation, with no way out, he might choose this way of pretending to be crazy to escape.

Li Ji smiled inexplicably: "You are right."

Li Xun asked: "Then what should we do?"

Li Ji asked again.

"What do you think?"

Li Xun fell silent.

His idea is actually very simple, that is to kill Li Qiong, so that future troubles can be avoided forever.

But he dared not say it.

Because he wants to care about his mother's feelings.

Hearing his inner voice, Li Ji reached out and rubbed his head vigorously.

"If Li Qiong is really pretending to be stupid, I will naturally have a way to expose him."

The trick of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid works for ordinary people, but it doesn't work for Li Ji at all.

Because he can read minds.

With just one glance, he can see through the other party's true thoughts.

Li Xun hurriedly pulled his father's claws away, and complained with a wrinkled face.

"You messed up my hair."

Li Ji turned around and walked out.

Li Xun immediately followed up with the cat in his arms: "Is the father looking for mother? I will also go together."

He opened his legs and ran very fast, and immediately ran in front of his father, so that he could see his mother one step faster than his father.

Just when he was feeling happy in his heart, he suddenly heard the father behind him asking.

Li Ji: "I heard people say that when Man Ri escorted you out of the palace, he deliberately dressed you up as a girl?"

Li Xun staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He held on to the pillar next to him, stabilized his figure, turned around suddenly, and roared angrily.

"Who did you hear that from?!"

Li Ji smiled happily: "It doesn't matter who you listen to, what matters is whether it's true? Are you really wearing a skirt?"

Li Xun's face was flushed red, like a big steamed crab.

"you shut up!"

The angrier the stinky son was, the happier Li Ji was.

"Looking at your reaction, I think it's true. I'm quite curious. I don't know what it's like for you to dress up as a little girl?"

Li Xun shouted angrily: "You are perverted!"

Li Ji laughed loudly, and walked straight in front of him.

Li Xun stared at the back of his father leaving, stomped his feet vigorously, and said viciously.

"Who the hell is that? So gossip, it actually revealed the matter of me wearing a skirt!"

He swears that once he catches that person, he will beat him to the ground!

In the dining hall, the meals are already set.

Li Ji helped Manman to sit down.

Man Man asked, "Where's the dog man?"

Li Ji: "He should not be in the mood to eat right now."

Based on what he knew about Li Xun, that kid must be hiding right now, and no one wants to see him, so as not to be mentioned about the embarrassment of wearing women's clothing.

Manman went in without knowing, thinking that his son was not feeling well, so he hurriedly said.

"What's going on? Do you want the doctor to show him?"

Li Ji served her a bowl of fish soup and said, "Don't be nervous, he's fine, but he's arguing about some small things in his heart, and he'll be fine in a while, you eat yours."

After all, it was his own son, how could Hua Manman make him hungry?

She asked Siyun to tell the kitchen to cook some food and deliver it to Li Xun.

During the meal, Hua Manman asked about Ah Qi.

Li Ji obviously didn't want to hear the name Ah Qi from Man Man's mouth again, so he answered very briefly.

"The man has been guarded, and the next thing is to wait for the emperor of Xiliang to pay for the ransom."

Hua Manman felt relieved knowing that the person was not dead.

She put a piece of roasted venison into Li Ji's bowl, smiling flatteringly.

"thank you."

Li Ji ate the venison and hummed softly, "Don't forget what you promised me."

Hua Manman replied, "I remember, I definitely remember."

After lunch, Manman felt a little tired, so Li Ji sent her back to her room to rest.

After she fell asleep, Li Ji rode into the palace alone.

Inside the chapter hall.

When Concubine Zhen heard that the Prince Regent was coming, she hurriedly got up and went out to greet her.

When she saw Li Ji, she found that he was the only one with no one following behind her, and she couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment.

Li Ji saw her thoughts and said quietly.

"After waking up, Manman has been in poor health. My king told her to rest at home."

Concubine Zhen recalled that when she saw Manman two days ago, she did look a lot thinner, her skin was unbelievably pale, and she was so weak that she would collapse in the wind.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhen couldn't help feeling distressed and guilty.

These days, she has been preoccupied with her son's affairs, and has not been able to pay attention to Man Man's physical condition.

Li Ji's words brought her back to her thoughts.

"How is Li Qiong?"

Concubine Zhen: "He has already woken up, but the imperial doctor said that he was overly stimulated, and he used strong drugs during the injury, which left sequelae. Now he is stupid and stupid, and his mind is only two or three years old. .”

Her mood is very complicated. It stands to reason that her son has become a fool, and she should be very sad.

But with Li Qiong's current situation, it would be the best result for him to become a fool.

At least, he still has hope of saving his life.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhen knelt down on her own initiative, lowered her upper body to the ground, and begged.

"Qiong'er has become a fool, and he is no longer able to fight for power. He has no threat to you. I implore you to hold your hand high and spare his life."

Li Ji was noncommittal about this.

He directly bypassed Concubine Zhen and walked into the hall.

He wants to see with his own eyes, is Li Qiong really stupid or fake?

Seeing this, Concubine Zhen hurriedly stood up and quickly followed in.
