Chapter 25: Every word I said is true!

The next day, the sky was bright.

Zuixianju.

In the room on the second floor.

Si Lili slowly opened her eyes and looked at the empty space beside her, feeling a little lost.

Just as she was about to get up, a gentle voice sounded in her ears.

"No need to get up, have a good rest today, I will ask someone to take care of you later"

Si Lili woke up suddenly.

She quickly turned her head and found Li Chengping sitting at the table, looking at her with a smile.

"Your Highness, I..."

The manager wanted to say something.

At this time, noisy sounds were heard from outside. Li Chengping seemed to notice something and stood up and walked outside.

When leaving, he shattered the note between his fingers with his sword energy without leaving a trace.

When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at Si Lili who was sitting on the bed.

"Have a good rest, I'll send someone to pick you up later."

The voice echoed in her ears, and Si Lili looked a little dazed.

As an oiran, she had never dreamed of marrying into a royal palace, and she was also hailed as the youngest great scholar in the world.

But the words just now sounded so real that she felt like she was dreaming.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened again, and several maids came to serve as instructed.

Si Lili came to her senses and, regardless of her discomfort, quickly ran to the window, just in time to see Li Chengping and the palace guards leaving on a boat.

"What's going on? Why did the palace guards take His Royal Highness Prince Wen away?" Si Lili had a bad feeling in her heart.

She grew up in the royal family of Qi State and knew a little about the rules of the palace.

If they were just inviting people into the palace, they would not send out the imperial guards to accompany them. This kind of situation would probably be a very serious matter.

The maid told the story truthfully about what happened last night.

Upon hearing the news, Si Lili was stunned.

Last night she and Li Chengping made love in the room until almost dawn. Who could have imagined that such a big thing would happen in the outside world.

Thinking of this, Si Lili suddenly lost her sleepiness and couldn't help but worry about Li Chengping.

After all, for the goal of Li Chengping, she gave up the most precious thing in her life.

It was more of a concern that came from the bottom of her heart, and Si Lili herself was not aware of it.

……

Under the protection of the imperial guards, Li Chengping arrived at the door of the imperial study.

Eunuch Hou had been waiting for a long time.

He trotted forward, ordered the guards on both sides to retreat, looked around vigilantly, and lowered his voice.

"Oh, Your Highness, you have caused a big disaster this time. His Majesty did not sleep all night last night. You must be careful when you go in!"

"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."

Li Chengping was a little surprised. He took out a silver note and stuffed it over, then slowly walked into the imperial study.

The house was silent.

The Crown Prince, Li Chengze, Guo Youzhi, and Mei Zhili all knelt on the ground.

Li Chengping took a quick glance, took two steps forward, and bowed slightly.

"My son, I will meet my father."

Emperor Qing didn't even raise his head, as if he didn't hear it.

"Damn it, that old Deng has started again!"

Li Chengping cursed inwardly and could only keep bowing.

"Third brother, your salute is too disrespectful to our father!" Li Chengqian said with a gloomy face.

Last night, because of the Guo Baokun incident, Emperor Qing scolded him harshly and was full of resentment towards Li Chengping.

Li Chengping straightened up and fought back without hesitation.

"Your Highness, respect for your father should be in your heart, not in your mouth. As a prince, don't you even understand this?"

The prince's face froze as he was choked, and he said hurriedly, "Of course I know that as a subject, I should salute and greet my father. This is the rule!"

"Father is wise and brave, and has an open mind. He won't care about these details!" Li Chengping said calmly.

Li Chengze watched the fun from the side and joined in the discussion.

"Yes, I think Third Brother said a lot!"

Although he said he supported her, he still knelt on the ground obediently.

Li Chengze knew his own worth very well.

He doesn't have Li Chengping's unrivaled talent, so it's better for him to be honest.

As for Guo Youzhi and Mei Zhili, they bowed their heads to the ground and pretended to see nothing.

"Enough! What are you arguing about? Get up!" Emperor Qing said with a stern face.

"Thank you, Father."

The prince's legs had become weak from kneeling so long ago. He was so delighted that he stood up shakily.

Seeing the prince stand up, Li Chengze stole a glance at Emperor Qing, and seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, he kowtowed to express his gratitude, then stood up.

As for Guo Youzhi and Mei Zhili, they seemed not to have heard anything and lay on the ground without moving.

Emperor Qing glanced at them and said coldly, "Why, didn't you two hear what I said?"

"Your Majesty, I deserve death, and I dare not stand up!"

"Your Majesty, I feel the same way."

After hearing the two people's answers, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Emperor Qing's cold eyes, and his gaze fell on Li Chengping.

"Third brother, last night your guards killed the chief constable of the prefect of Kyoto and a dozen constables. Do you know about this?"

Emperor Qing asked.

"I know," said Li Chengping.

As soon as the words fell, the entire imperial study suddenly fell silent.

A cold light flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes, and he stared at Li Chengping intently, feeling an invisible sense of oppression coming over him.

"Third brother, think about it carefully, do you know about this matter?!"

Emperor Qing asked again.

This time, Li Chengping straightened the joystick and looked directly into Emperor Qing's eyes.

"Father, I know!"

"As officials, they fail to distinguish right from wrong and help the tyrants to commit atrocities. People like them who curry favor with the powerful should be killed!"

The sound echoed in the imperial study.

Looking at Li Chengping's upright figure, the prince had a look of mockery in his eyes, while Li Chengze had a bit of admiration in his eyes.

Emperor Qing stared at Li Chengping for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"well said!"

"As an official, you fail to distinguish right from wrong and help the tyrant to commit atrocities. This is a betrayal of my trust!"

"These people, well killed!"

As he spoke, Emperor Qing suddenly stopped smiling and his expression became stern.

"Then how come your guards injured Guo Baokun?"

Li Chengping was not at all flustered. He bowed slightly and recounted the story of Old Man Zhang in detail.

"Father, Guo Baokun is arrogant and domineering in Kyoto, causing great suffering to the people of the capital."

"This person is a palace editor. His behavior is a disgrace to the court. He deserves to be beaten!"

Emperor Qing's face darkened: "Is this true?"

"Every word your son said is true!" Li Chengping said calmly.

He received news from Luowang this morning, and that is why he was so confident.

"Minister Guo, what do you think about this matter?" Emperor Qing asked.

"Your Majesty, what happened has nothing to do with the Third Prince. This is all my fault for not disciplining you strictly. I am the only one who knows the fault!"

"I beg Your Majesty to spare my son's life for all the hard work I have done for the Kingdom of Qing over the years. I am willing to bear all the blame for my son's crimes!"

Guo Youzhi banged his head on the ground like a garlic pounding machine.

Even though blood was gushing out, the movement did not stop at all.
