Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"Your Highness, I know my crime!" Zhao Jie seemed to have returned to normal at this moment, but then, facing the scrutinizing gaze of His Majesty Li II, he suddenly smiled calmly and said something that the emperor and empress would never forget: "Speaking of which... my experience is very similar to that of His Highness the Prince of Chu. It's just that I don't have the good fortune of His Highness the Prince of Chu, who has an imperial grandmother who is willing to give up a thousand-year-old foundation to protect him to the end!"

After Zhao Jie said this, Empress Changsun swayed on the spot. When she was about to fall, Yubi, who was standing by, hurried forward and supported her.

On the other side, Emperor Li II looked at Zhao Jie as if he was a dead person!

but……

There is a thing called inheritance.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is no longer in Chang'an, but his shadow can be seen everywhere in Chang'an!

"You're talking nonsense!" At this moment, the Ninth Prince, who had just broken free from Yulin's arms in the hall and fought back, now had his hands on his hips, not knowing what an opponent was: "Your father died a long time ago! My father is still alive! How can they be the same?!"

His Majesty Li Er: "..."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the old story of "there is a loquat tree in the yard" many years ago...

"Heh..." Zhao Jie laughed bitterly: "Is there any difference?"

Judging from the look of it, he really doesn't want to live anymore.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Emperor Li II was too lazy to think about it or say anything more.

At this moment, he glanced at Empress Changsun, who was crying on the steps of Ganlu Palace. Even though he was a king with a heart as hard as iron, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty at this moment.

This bit of guilt was enough for him to make a decision: "Yun Shang, hand this person over to the Dali Temple!"

“Your Majesty!” Zhao Jie didn’t beg for mercy, but Princess Changguang couldn’t wait to step forward and said, “I swear, these… were all done by Zhao Jie himself—”

“Ha…hahahahaha…” Seeing his mother trying to distance herself from him, the last glimmer of hope in Zhao Jie’s heart was shattered at this moment: “Mother, do you think that if you say that, Yang Shidao and Yang Yuzhi will survive? Ha…they’re dead! Dead!”

There was mad hatred in Yang Yuzhi's eyes until he was taken away.

When Princess Changguang made eye contact with him, she shrank back in fear.

"Your Majesty..." But turning around, she tried to distance herself from Zhao Jie in front of Li Er.

"Get lost!" Emperor Li II only left the other party with his back.

Changguang was in a panic. That was the retribution she deserved!

Just like...

At this moment, he watched Guanyin's maidservant and the young slave turn around and enter the hall, and he finally stopped moving forward when facing the closed hall door...

Life, between gains and losses, is truly amazing.

If it had been ten years earlier, I might still firmly believe that my original choice was the right one.

But now...

I really can’t tell…I can’t tell what’s right and what’s wrong…

-------------------------------------

Zhao Jie was imprisoned in the Dali Temple. Upon hearing the news, Yang Yuzhi immediately hugged the crying maid Yun'er and started a night of passion in the warm hibiscus tent.

This bastard didn't notice at all how panicked his mother Princess Changguang and his father Yang Shidao were at the moment.

Silent all night.

The next day, when Zhinu woke up, Chengxin, who was guarding outside Ganlu Palace, told him that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had brought him and Sizi another gift.

As the little Princess Sizi never stayed in bed very long, she had already gone to her second brother's bedroom.

So, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince immediately got out of bed, quickly put on his shoes and socks with the help of Yulin, and then ran to the next room.

When he arrived at the study of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he found that Princess Sizi was already eating a bunch of loquats.

"Stupid slave, the basket over there is yours." Princess Sizi is a little princess with a very noble character. Except for her temper which is a little more domineering like her second brother, she is perfect in other aspects. So she would never do things like eating more and taking more.

“Sizi, you have to call me Ninth Brother, not stupid slave!” Li Zhi regained his sanity at this moment, and with the help of Yao Ji, he found his own basket of loquats. He peeled the loquats while saying in a muffled voice, “Alas… I don’t know how my second brother is doing in Qiongzhou now. I heard from Yulin that Qiongzhou is a very remote place… Humph! My second brother is such a good person, and his contributions are so great, but in the end he can only lead Qiongzhou… Sizi, you wait, when I grow up, I will not let go of anyone who bullied my second brother!”

"Are you talking about Uncle Wuji?" Sizi had heard Li Zhi's vow to "avenge his second brother" no less than a hundred times.

"And our father!" Zhinu shook his head upon hearing this, but then nodded vigorously: "But father cannot take revenge, so this account must still be placed on Uncle Wuji! - Who made him give advice to father all day long? Didn't Third Brother say that there is an idiom called 'wolf...wolf surrounded and annihilated?' Anyway, the general meaning is that the wolf was surrounded and annihilated by a group of people! In the future, when I become a vassal, I will find someone to trick Uncle Wuji out of Chang'an, and then -"

"Stupid Zhinu..." Princess Sizi no longer wanted to listen to the Ninth Prince's "evil revenge plan" - because she found that Zhinu was similar to her second brother in her understanding of idioms: "That idiom is '狼狈为奸' - it means that two parties collude with each other, use their respective strengths in cooperation, and do bad things together! I told you to listen carefully in class, but you..."

"Isn't this almost the same thing?" After listening to her sister's explanation, Zhinu thought for a moment, "Could it be that I'm really a genius? A genius like my second brother?"

"..." Princess Sizi didn't want to hurt her stupid brother, so she pursed her lips and turned the words she was about to say into a freshly peeled loquat, and swallowed it...

Forget it, my second brother said that brothers and sisters should be united and friendly.

Hehehe... This princess listens to second brother the most!

Second brother knows!

Inside the imperial palace, Princess Sizi and her brother Zhinu were happily eating loquats.

At that time, Dou Fengjie, the Duke of Ling, who had inherited his father's title and had recently become the imperial concubine's captain, had just finished practicing a set of long fist in the martial arts field this morning and was about to practice spear practice when suddenly the housekeeper of the mansion rushed in from the front hall with a letter.

"My Lord, here is a letter. It was sent by Princess Zhao Jie, who was imprisoned yesterday. The messenger said that this matter is of great importance and hoped that my Lord could take a look at the letter."

"Oh?" Dou Fengjie couldn't understand why this down-and-out young man, who was rumored to have gone crazy, actually thought of sending him a letter at this time.

So, driven by curiosity, he stretched out his hand and said to the old housekeeper, "Give me the letter."
