Under the cover of Hua Manman, Li Xun escaped from the scene smoothly, avoiding a beating from his old father.
Turning around to see that Li Ji was still sulking, Hua Manman stretched out both hands to him, showing two careful gestures.
"Smile, I love you~"
Li Ji took her hand and pulled her into his arms to protect him: "You know how to protect him, see how he spoils him, lawless, dare to say anything!"
Hua Manman said with a smile: "Tongyan speaks without restraint."
Li Ji thought of those friends of the stinky son, and said suddenly.
"In the future, let Goudan keep a little distance from that kid named Ke Lang. After all, men and women are different."
Hua Manman didn't understand for a while, and said blankly, "Aren't they all boys?"
Li Ji: "That Ke Lang is not a boy, she just pretended to be a boy on purpose."
A light sentence, like thunder on the ground, made Hua Manman jump up in fright.
"How can this be?!"
Li Ji pulled her back again, let her sit on his lap, and hugged her from behind.
He whispered in her ear. .
"I heard her voice just now, and I'm sure she is a girl."
Hua Manman couldn't understand: "But she is a girl, why would she dress up as a boy?"
Li Ji didn't know this either.
He didn't care about other people's private affairs, so he answered casually.
"Maybe she has her own reasons."
Hua Manman couldn't help but think of Lu Man. Lu Man, the son of Yu Wangfu, was also a daughter, but due to various reasons, she had to pretend to be a man.
How similar are Lu Man and Ke Lang
When she was lost in thought, Li Ji squeezed her palm.
Li Ji asked, "Did you hear what I said?"
Hua Manman came back to his senses: "What?"
Li Ji was helpless: "I said, I saw Li Qiong in the palace today, and he has really become a fool."
He has mind reading skills, and no lie can hide from him.
So he said that Li Qiong is really stupid, that is really stupid.
Hua Manman had a complicated mood: "He has paid the price for his actions."
Li Ji asked: "Then do you still want him to die?"
Hua Manman shook her head.
"In no mood."
Yu Qing, Li Qiong was Hua Qingqing's only child, and Hua Qingqing devoted a lot of effort to him. If he died, Hua Qingqing would be devastated, and even the sisterhood between them would be completely severed.
Hua Manman doesn't want to make trouble to that extent.
Yu Li, since Li Qiong has become a fool, he can no longer pose a threat to the court.
No one is willing to support a fool as emperor.
That being the case, it is better to save Li Qiong's life, so as to show Li Ji's tolerance, which will help Li Ji better stabilize the hearts of the people and improve his reputation among the people.
Li Ji held her tighter, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you feel wronged?"
Hua Manman leaned on the man's body with a very relaxed posture.
"I have you and Goudan, our family of three is safe and sound, I am too late to be happy, so how can I feel wronged
People, you have to live in the present, don't always think about the kindness and resentment in the past, it's too tiring. "
Li Ji's nose was pressed against Man Man's cheek.
He said in a teasing tone on purpose.
"The concubine is really magnanimous, this king is far beyond my reach."
The man's warm breath sprayed on his cheeks, making Huamanman feel a little itchy.
She pushed the person away: "Just talk when you talk, what are you doing so close to each other?"
The more she pushed, the more Li Ji wanted to get closer.
In the end, the bodies of the two were tightly glued together without any gaps.
Hua Manman lost his temper at all by him, so he had no choice but to surrender and accept his fate.
"It's an old couple's, why are you still so clingy?"
Li Ji said confidently: "You are my princess, who else can you cling to if I am not clinging?"
Rubbing his palms on her body, he frowned, very dissatisfied.
Why are you so thin? It felt like it was all bone.
No, get up tomorrow and ask the kitchen to make some delicious food for Manman, so I can quickly put her on weight.
Early the next morning, the left and right prime ministers came to visit.
They came for the matter of the little emperor Li Qiong.
Before the regent asked them to go home and think carefully about how to deal with Li Qiong, they thought it over and over again, and finally decided to follow their hearts.
Recently, they specially came to see the regent, in order to ask the regent to spare Li Qiong's life.
The two bent down, respectfully and authentically.
"Li Qiongde has done something bad, and he is indeed not worthy of being an emperor, but because he is still young, and his life is spared, so that all the old and middle court officials can know the magnanimity of the prince, so as to stabilize people's hearts."
"If the prince is worried, you can keep Li Qiong to observe for a while. If he still doesn't want to repent, it's not too late to kill him."
After finishing speaking, the two bowed their heads deeply, waiting tremblingly for the Regent's reply.
Before coming, both of them had already prepared to bear the anger of the regent.
Based on their understanding of the Prince Regent, the Prince Regent would definitely not bypass Li Qiong easily. Their move was tantamount to fighting against the Prince Regent.
However, Li Ji only responded lightly.
"It makes sense."
Those four simple words stunned the two prime ministers on the left and right.
They suspected that there was something wrong with their ears, and they all raised their heads to look at the regent.
"what did you say?"
Li Ji frowned slightly, showing impatience: "You don't look very old, why can't you even understand a sentence? Is this king considering letting you retire and return to your hometown early?"
The two prime ministers on the left and right hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "My lord, forgive me."
They couldn't believe that the regent, who had always been jealous, would let Li Qiong go.
This is too rare!
Li Ji knocked on the table.
"Get up, you will remember what this king says."
The two prime ministers didn't dare to think about it anymore, they stood up immediately, and honestly ground the ink and laid the paper.
Li Ji: "Demote Li Qiong as a commoner, the Empress Dowager Yan will give her death, and she will not be allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum after her death. Concubine Zhen will be named Concubine Zhen, Concubine Shu will be named Concubine Shu, and the fifth prince Li Yi will be named King Yi. A royal mansion will be given, and all other harem concubines will be sent to Shuiyun Nunnery for meditation. Princess Rouwan will be conferred the title of Princess, Zhong Anbo will be conferred the title of Duke Zhong, his wife He will be conferred the title of Mrs. Yipin Haoming, and the Grand Princess of Ningyang will be rewarded with thousands of acres of fertile land. Golden Ten Thousand Taels…”
Behind is a long list of rewards.
The two prime ministers wrote down every word, filling a large sheet of paper.
Li Ji picked up the teacup and drank some water to moisten his throat.
The two prime ministers carefully read the contents of the paper from beginning to end, and found that one person's name was missing.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help asking.
"Why is there no Lord Zhen Guo here?"
Li Ji put down the teacup and said calmly: "Duke Li Liao please guard the border. He will leave tomorrow without any reward."
The two prime ministers were very surprised.
Li Liao was a great hero, everyone thought that he would take this opportunity to soar into the sky, and if he was lucky, he could even earn the title of prince.
But he didn't expect that he would leave suddenly at this time.
