Li Zhi, who was originally a little angry, suddenly calmed down and the anger on his face disappeared.

Not only that, Li Shen also saw a smile, or a hint of mockery, on Li Zhi's face.

"Li Shen, if you want to report it, go ahead. Aye won't believe your fictitious letters.

Do you think you can threaten me with just these?

I never knew anything about Xizhou, nor did I know who Wang Wencheng was.

I have no idea what these letters you mentioned are about. If you have nothing else to say, please go back."

For a moment, Li Zhi became fearless, as if he was not afraid of Li Shimin knowing these things.

Seeing Li Zhi become calm, Li Shen sighed in his heart, if it weren't for his own plan, he would have ruined your reputation long ago.

But being disgraced is not what Li Shen wants.

"Haha, Brother Nine is really very strong-willed, you are right, I am just threatening you.

Aye may not believe these letters, but what do you think will happen if I spread these letters to the public?

I have a lot of letters like this in my hands. I will write them all in the newspaper and let everyone in the Tang Dynasty know about this.

Let the people of the Tang Dynasty judge for themselves whether this matter is true or not."

Li Shen had expected this and knew that Li Zhi would not give in so easily, so he needed to increase the stakes.

Hearing Li Shen's words, Li Zhi laughed:

"Haha, Li Shen, you really have wild ideas, do you think the court will allow you to report these things in the newspaper?

Do you think Aye will allow you to spread rumors and slander at will?

When the time comes, all the officials in the court will impeach you, and I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your printing shop."

No matter what, Li Zhi is also a prince.

Li Shimin would never allow Li Shen to bring disgrace to the royal family like this.

"Li Zhi, Li Zhi, it seems that you are not a fool, but why do you do such stupid things?"

Li Shen also showed a sarcastic look on his face. He stood up, walked to the door of the living room, looked left and right, and then waved to the guards.

The guards immediately understood and retreated three feet away along with the servants who were waiting for them.

Only then did Li Shen slowly walk up to Li Zhi.

He said to Li Zhi in a very gentle voice:

“Do you really think I don’t know that you were the one who did what happened in Xizhou?

Do you really think what you did was perfect?

To tell you the truth, before Yuanzheng, I had already found out that it was you who did it.

I just let you get bigger, you know?"

After saying this, Li Shen patted Li Zhi's shoulder gently, then returned to his seat, picked up his big teacup and buried his head in it.

At this moment, Li Zhi's heart was filled with turmoil. He thought that Li Shen would suspect him, but he had no definite evidence.

Because some things were not carried out by him.

I want to investigate, but the clues are disjointed and it is difficult to find out.

But he didn't expect that Li Shen actually found out the truth, and had been hiding it, and even said that he wanted him to continue doing it.

No, why would Li Shen know, where did he get the information from, and what did he ask him to do next?

Thinking of this, he began to suspect that Li Shen was deceiving him. Li Shen was very cunning and what he said might not be true.

"Li Shen, don't exaggerate. If you really had evidence, you would have reported me to Aye a long time ago. How can you still talk to me here?"

In Li Zhi's opinion, if Li Shen had evidence, he would have produced it to prove his innocence.

And given their own hatred, Li Shen would never show mercy.

Because if it were me, I would not let Li Shen go.

He concluded that Li Shen definitely had no evidence.

Li Shen looked at Li Zhi calmly, and finally sighed:

"Ah~~~~ Li Zhi, you really annoy me, I really hope to see you punished.

I even want to see you die."

When Li Shen said this, his tone was full of murderous intent. But he immediately changed the subject and regained his composure:

"But... I can't help but think about Aye, I can't help but think about my mother.

Although I was not born by my mother, she treated me like her own son and has been very fond of me for more than ten years.

No matter how big a mistake I made, my mother would always plead with Aye on my behalf and protect me from the wind and rain.

People are all made of flesh and blood. How could I make my mother sad when she treats me so well?

Li Zhi, your death is not a pity, but if your mother becomes seriously ill because of you, that would be unfilial.

Your mother has just recovered from a serious illness, and you are indifferent to her. You can't be like this. Doctor Sun said that you can't be too sad if you don't get close to her, otherwise the old illness may relapse and endanger her life.

I can't let anything happen to my mother, so I didn't report you. I'm not as unfilial as you.

Li Zhi, I, Li Shen, dare to say here that I have been more filial to my mother than you legitimate sons and daughters over the years. Do you dare to refute me?"

"I..." Li Zhi was speechless for a moment after hearing this. He felt a little ashamed of himself after hearing Li Shen's heartfelt words.

Indeed, among all the princes and princesses, Li Shen was the only one who could be truly filial.

This is recognized by the outside world.

This is true whether it is to their Aye or their Queen Mother.

Among all their legitimate sons, only Li Tai was able to contribute a little, but that was all when they were young.

When they grow up, they rarely enter the palace.

Unlike Li Shen, who entered the palace at least once a month, and sometimes only once every few days.

It was originally a taboo, but Li Shen did it as if it was a matter of course, and even their father didn't mind.

So in terms of filial piety, it has to be said that Li Shen did better than all of them.

However, he was a little skeptical when Li Shen said that he would not expose him for the sake of his mother.

"Li Zhi, I'm not you, I'm not as cruel as you.

You have never thought that Aye is also old, right?

I know you only think about fighting for the throne, and you never think about the fact that your parents are getting old.

They gave us life, raised us, and taught us with care. Without our parents, we would have nothing.

Now that they are old, we should cherish every moment with our parents and work hard to repay their kindness in raising us.

In order to not make my father-in-law and mother sad, even if I hope you die, I will give up my revenge on you for the sake of my father-in-law and mother.

Believe it or not, this is what I really think.

And I am telling you all this not because I want to get your gratitude, but because I want to tell you not to force me.

Although I can give up revenge on you, but if you leave me with no way out, I will fight to the death with you and perish together.

Okay, I have already told you clearly what should and should not be said.

I will go to the Ministry of Justice the day after tomorrow. It is up to you to choose what to do.

To live in peace or to perish together, the choice is yours.

I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Li Shen stood up and strode out of the living room.

Li Zhi then came to his senses and hurriedly followed him out.
