Chapter 997 Cowardly Li Zhi
It is said that fighting between the two sons is not a big deal, but the key is that Li Shimin is the emperor, Li Chengqian and Li Tai are the princes, and they are fighting in front of the queen spirit, which is too bad. So when Li Xiu came here, the first thing he did was to block the news.
After Li Shimin scolded Li Chengqian and slapped Li Tai, he finally punished them to kneel in front of Empress Changsun's spirit and refused to eat for three days. Li Chengqian and Li Tai dared not say anything about this punishment. However, Li Xiu was worried that Li Chengqian's body would not be able to bear it. After all, he fainted from hunger a few days ago, so he wanted to plead for him, but Li Shimin refused.
Faced with this situation, Li Xiu had no choice. After all, his son belonged to someone else. Of course, Li Shimin is also angry now. It is not a good time to plead with mercy. I guess after this aura fades, there should be a great chance to help Li Chengqian plead with him.
Li Shimin was very ill. After dealing with his two sons, he couldn't stand it anymore. In the end, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji personally helped him into the dragon chassis, and then the imperial doctor took care of him and returned to the Ganlu Palace to recuperate.
"Brother Li, thanks to your timely arrival, I didn't let the prince fight with the King of Wei!" After sending Li Shimin away, Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai who were kneeling in front of the spirit, and then said to Li Xiu.
"Brother Wuji thanked the wrong person. When I came, the prince and the King of Wei had been stopped. And I bet that Brother Wuji might have dreamed of who this person was!" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Has someone stopped him?" Changsun Wuji was stunned when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the Spirit Hall. Apart from Li Chengqian and Li Tai who were kneeling there, there was only Li Zhi who was young and hiding behind Li Xiu. As for Li Zhi and others, there was no one else except that.
After looking around the Spirit Hall, Changsun Wuji couldn't figure out who had such a courage to stop Li Chengqian and Li Tai? As for Li Zhi, he was not at all considering him. First, Li Zhi was too young, and second, Li Zhi's personality was a bit cowardly. Changsun Wuji knew this better than anyone else.
Seeing that Changsun Wuji really ignored Li Zhi, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile, and then pulled Li Zhi out from behind and said, "It seems that Brother Wuji is really like me, both of whom have ignored Zhinu. When I came, Zhinu forced the guards to separate Chengqian and Li Tai, so the one we should thank most this time is Zhinu!"
"Zhi Nu?" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Li Xiu's answer, and then looked at the Zhi Nu who had just reached Li Xiu's waist with an incredible look on his face. If Li Xiu hadn't said it in person, he wouldn't have believed that Li Zhi would have such courage no matter what.
It was the first time that Li Zhi was stared at by his own uncle like this, and he looked a little embarrassed. At this time, Li Xiu smiled and said, "Zhi Nu, I have always wanted to ask you just now, why are you so brave to separate your brother?"
"I... I saw that my elder brother was going to beat the fourth brother, and the fourth brother was ready to fight back. At that time, I was very scared and worried that they would be injured, so I ordered the guards to separate them. At first, the guards did not dare to move, until I called out that if the elder brother and the fourth brother were injured, they would not be able to get out of their relationship, which gave them the courage to step forward." Li Zhi explained embarrassedly at this time, but it was no different from what Li Xiu had guessed before.
"Not bad, I didn't expect that you, Chi Nu, have grown up. If the queen had a spirit in the sky, she would definitely be proud of such a sensible son!" Changsun Wuji also said with some emotion at this time, and when he said this, he touched Li Zhi's little head intimately.
Seeing Changsun Wuji praising Li Zhi, Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian who was kneeling in the hall. He had fainted from hunger before, and now he is very thin. His back kneeling there is also very thin, which made Li Xiu even more worried whether his body could hold on?
The matter has been resolved, and Li Shimin left a few personal guards around him, staring at Li Chengqian and Li Tai for him. It was already past the third day, and Li Xiu felt sleepy and tired at this time, so he was about to go back and rest. Changsun Wuji also had the same meaning.
"Sir, I... can I go to rest with you?" But just as Li Xiu was about to leave, he suddenly saw Li Zhi pulling the corner of his clothes and then said with a embarrassed expression on his face.
"Uh? Are you not guarding here?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Li Zhi's appearance. A few days ago, Princess Pingyang had always wanted Li Zhi to go home with her to rest. After all, Li Zhi was too young, so it would be fine if Li Chengqian and Li Tai were guarding, but Li Zhi didn't need to, but he insisted on staying in the mourning hall to accompany his mother, which made Princess Pingyang have no choice. Later, Li Xiu advised him several times, but Li Zhi refused, but he didn't expect that now he would take the initiative to leave with him.
"I...I dare not stay here anymore. Although my elder brother won't blame me, I may not be able to do so, so I'd better stay away." Li Zhi sneaked into Li Chengqian and Li Tai in the mourning hall at this time.
Li Tai has a noble character and a narrow mind. Even the young Li Zhi knew very well. He asked the guards to force the two to separate. Li Chengqian might not blame him for this, but Li Tai is not sure, so Li Zhi did not dare to stay here.
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at Li Tai, who was kneeling there with his back to them. Then they looked at each other, and both saw a little pity in each other's eyes, because although Li Tai wanted to compete with Li Chengqian for the throne and tried hard to show himself in front of Li Shimin, his personality flaws were too obvious. As long as Li Shimin was not confused, he was destined to be useless in the future.
"Okay, then you can go back to the financial management supervisor with me to rest, but my conditions are very average and are far from comfortable than your bedroom, so I think it's better to send you to your bedroom?" Li Xiu nodded first, and then thought that Li Zhi originally lived in the palace, so he spoke again and suggested.
"Zhi Nu is still too young, and the queen has just passed away. It's too deserted to let him live alone in the palace. However, the financial management supervision is indeed a bit too simple, so I think it's better to let Zhi Nu go back with me. You can sleep with your cousin, so that you won't be too lonely." Just as Li Xiu finished speaking, Changsun Wuji suddenly saw him speaking first, and his eyes were full of lovingness when he looked at Li Zhi.
However, Li Xiu was stunned when he saw Changsun Wuji's expression at this time, and then he couldn't help but feel alert, because he found that Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhi, as if he only appeared when he saw Li Chengqian before.
