Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Zhi returned to the study, sat down in front of the desk and drank a sip of water.

Li Yifu also walked out from the inner room.

"What do you think?" Li Zhi asked, putting down the teacup.

"Your Majesty, I can't see any clues, it's just a little strange."

Li Yifu bowed and replied.

He listened to Li Tai's words from behind and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

"Strange? Why is it strange?" Li Zhi asked after hearing this.

“I can’t really explain this, but the words the King of Wei said were all words of concern, and it sounded like they were all for His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

But I always feel that King Wei’s words are strange.

But there is one thing I am sure of, the King of Wei is afraid that something bad will happen to you, Your Majesty."

Li Yifu couldn't tell what was strange. He felt that the King of Wei was not someone who cared about the King of Jin, and his words and deeds implied that he was afraid that something might happen to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi frowned, thinking about Li Yifu's words. Recalling Li Tai's performance just now, he felt that he was indeed a little too enthusiastic.

But I didn't find anything wrong.

"Whatever the King of Wei means, we just need to be on guard. I will finish what I have told you to do first."

In the end, Li Zhi couldn't figure out anything and had to give up.

"Yes, then I'll take my leave." Li Yifu bowed and left.

Li Zhi was alone in the study, talking to himself while looking at the teacup in his hand.

"He is not him, and you are not you."

~~~~~~~~

The next day, I was called up very early.

When Li Shen arrived at the front hall, he saw Wang De standing there with a smile on his face.

Li Shen sat down with a dagger, and said with a face full of resentment:

"My Lord, don't people in the palace sleep? What time is it now? What are you doing here so early?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, it's still early, the court has already been dismissed.

It's just that you got up late, Your Majesty." Wang De said with a smile.

“You know that I get up late, but you still come so early. Don’t you know that I am injured, and seriously injured?

Ahem. " Li Shen coughed twice on purpose after he finished speaking, which made Wang De's smile turn into helplessness.

How can we let others pass on the order to this prince? We have to do it ourselves. Others really can't deal with Prince Ji.

"Your Highness, I am here to convey His Majesty's order to summon you to the palace."

Wang De spoke directly to the point.

"Entering the palace? Didn't we just see him yesterday? What happened now?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, did you really forget or are you just pretending to forget? Yesterday's matter is not over yet.

Your Majesty, you used a knife to kill the Prince of Jin yesterday. Your Majesty, you don't think that this matter can just be let go, right?"

Wang De was almost laughing out of anger. Such a big thing happened, but this young man actually thought it was okay.

"Oh, so that's what happened. I'm also injured, but isn't Li Zhi okay?

This injury of yours truly is real."

Li Shen really thought that everything was fine, but he remembered it after Wang De said that.

"Then please follow me, Your Majesty. Don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

"Wait a minute." Li Shen called out.

"Your Highness, is there anything else you need?" Wang De asked.

"Is Li Zhi going?" Li Shen stood up and asked.

"Of course." Wang De nodded.

"Well, wait for me for a while while I change my clothes."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he took his servants back to the backyard.

When Li Shen appeared again, he looked like he was seriously ill and was supported by two servants.

There is a strong smell of medicine on his body.

He coughed from time to time and looked like he was really dying.

“Your Highness, what are you doing…” Wang De was stunned.

What's going on? Is he seriously ill after going in?

Li Shen's voice was a little hoarse and a little low:

"Old King, let's go. Don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long. Ahem... Ahem... Ahem~"

"No... Your Majesty... That... Well, let's go."

Wang De was really speechless.

Several servants helped Li Shen get on the carriage and followed Wang De to the palace.

After being inspected at the city gate, Li Shen was helped to the entrance of the harem.

"What are you looking at? Come over here and help me."

After entering the harem, Li Shen started shouting at the eunuchs who followed him.

When several eunuchs saw this, they didn't dare to say anything and hurried forward to carry Li Shen together.

Li Shen didn't even have to walk by himself, he was carried directly into the harem.

The eunuchs and maids along the way were whispering to each other, wondering what was happening to Prince Ji.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji has arrived."

Arriving at the Shenlong Temple, Wang De went in to report.

"Let him in." Li Shen heard his father's voice inside, with a hint of anger.

He immediately waved to the eunuchs next to him, and several people helped Li Shen in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Li Shimin standing in the middle with a ruler in his hand.

There was a man kneeling in front of Li Shimin, and upon closer inspection it was Prince of Jin, Li Zhi.

Li Shimin was also stunned when he saw Li Shen being supported in by so many people.

"Son... ahem... see you, Aye."

Li Shen broke free from the support of the crowd, bowed deeply to Li Shimin, and his body was staggering.

"You all go down."

Li Shimin waved his hand and everyone left.

"You bastard, kneel down." Li Shimin suddenly shouted angrily.

With a plop, Li Shen knelt down very obediently.

But after kneeling down, he coughed violently a few times, which made Li Shimin frown.

He was wondering if Li Shen’s injury was so serious?

When he came to Li Shen's side, Li Shimin smelled a strong smell of medicine.

He wanted to hit her a few times, but instead asked:

"Li Shen, do you admit your guilt?"

Li Shen bowed first, then replied in a weak voice:

"I admit my guilt, Father."

"Oh? Then tell me where your crime lies?" This was a little beyond Li Shimin's expectations.

Based on his understanding of Li Shen, this rebellious son would at least make a few excuses, especially since he was injured.

Li Shen covered his chest and took a few breaths before replying:

"Yesterday, I was impulsive and started a war in front of my father, which offended the emperor. I am guilty of the ten evils: disloyalty and unfilial piety, and this is one of them.

Second, a son should not kill his brothers, as it is an unkind and unjust act.

I didn't sleep last night. After thinking over and over again, I realized that I shouldn't have done that. I feel ashamed of my ancestors and of all the teachings my father gave me over the years.

Because of Aye's favor, my son became arrogant and domineering, bullying the people and harming the people.

Now I have turned into a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust person. I am guilty, please punish me, Aye.

Cough...cough...cough...cough..."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he started coughing violently again.

Li Shen's words made Li Shimin a little at a loss. He thought Li Shen would argue with reason or make all kinds of excuses.

But I didn't expect that this rebellious son would admit his mistake directly.

This was the first time he saw Li Shen like this, especially now that he looked so sick, which made people feel particularly distressed.
