Chapter 160: One person takes responsibility
Perhaps it's due to a natural sensitivity to danger.
Li Yuntian asked in a very soft voice, but it also woke up Su Zhaoyang who had just fallen asleep.
He tried hard to lift his heavy eyelids, but saw the second prince Li Yuntian.
For a moment, he even thought he was still dreaming.
Only the irritating smell of Chinese herbal medicine on the tip of his nose told him that this was not a dream.
"You, what are you doing here?" Su Zhaoyang slowly opened his eyes and asked with difficulty.
"As your royal brother, I heard that you were seriously injured in Jingzhou, so I naturally came to care about you." Li Yuntian said with a smile.
Su Zhaoyang's eyes dimmed and he weakly tugged at the corners of his lips, "Thank you, Second Emperor, for your concern. I will be fine with you."
King Zhaoyang had just woken up, and when he was half conscious, he shouted vaguely that he was hungry or thirsty. The imperial doctor then realized that King Zhaoyang had been without rice for several days, and the imperial doctor Chen immediately went to the kitchen to prepare a medicinal meal.
This happened to be at the same time as Li Yuntian's arrival, so they didn't collide with each other.
Li Yuntian came over, approached the couch, and looked at King Zhaoyang with interest.
"The emperor's younger brother went to Jingzhou, it seems he suffered a lot, right?" Li Yuntian's voice was long and full of mockery.
The pain in the body and the five senses were much dulled.
Su Zhaoyang hadn't reacted yet, so he just thought Li Yuntian was caring about him.
There was quite a warm feeling in his heart. After all, in this deep palace, except for his mother, no one was willing to treat him sincerely.
"Brother Second Emperor, I didn't do it well..." Su Zhaoyang paused, thinking of a very scary person, and then asked cautiously, "His Royal Highness...can you blame me for this?"
He was very scared in his heart. He was afraid that because of his failure in running an errand, his mother and even the entire Liu family would be implicated.
The last time I read a memorial, I whipped myself ten times with wattle sticks.
Now even more than one hundred thousand stones of food have been robbed. If this spreads to the world...
Su Zhaoyang didn't dare to think about it. The more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became and it became harder to breathe.
"Blame it? Don't worry, Liu Zaifu helped you to let Qianyue Mountain take the blame a long time ago, and today he has been killed by the Meridian Gate." Li Yuntian sneered, with a cold and vicious glint in his eyes, as if he was
Say something that has nothing to do with him.
"What? Qian Shenjun was killed?" Su Zhaoyang stood up suddenly and looked at Li Yuntian in shock.
This movement implicated the wounds on his body, especially the stab wound on his right shoulder. The tearing pain made Su Zhaoyang couldn't help but frown.
"Why, are you so surprised?" Li Yuntian asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
Only then did Su Zhaoyang realize that Li Yuntian's expression was too playful.
It was like a cat about to stretch out its claws, playing with a desperate and frightened mouse that was forced into a trap.
"Why did the second emperor brother say this? Qian joined the army and saved me, how could he..." Su Zhaoyang pursed his lips tightly, and there was a vague premonition in his heart.
Although Su Zhaoyang didn't understand why Qian Canjun would take the initiative to plead guilty, and there was nothing wrong with Qian Canjun in the matter, his intuition told him that there must be something hidden.
Li Yuntian nodded, sat on a chair, crossed his legs and said: "You have been going to Jingzhou to provide disaster relief for more than half a month, but you failed to arrive successfully, and now you almost died in the rebel army and lost one hundred thousand shi of food. What do you think, Prince?"
What will I do to you?"
Su Zhaoyang felt a little guilty when he mentioned this matter.
But he quickly denied his mistake and defended: "This was an accident, and..."
"And what?" Li Yuntian raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very interested in what he was going to say next, but there was no trace of any emotion on that handsome and sinister face.
Su Zhaoyang took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say: "Besides, after I recover, I will go to the Crown Prince to receive my punishment."
"Oh?" Li Yuntian let out a light sigh, "Are you punished?"
He really thought that he could cover the sky with one hand in this Wu Dynasty.
"What punishment do you want to receive?" Li Yuntian narrowed his narrow eyes and asked dangerously.
Su Zhaoyang gritted his teeth and said in silence for a long time, "This is all decided by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Prince!
Prince!
It’s the prince again!
When Li Yuntian heard the word "Prince" in his heart, he felt bored to the point of going crazy.
Ever since Li Yunxing took up the post of Prince Supervisor, people seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
It turns out that the most favored prince in the harem should be him, Li Yuntian!
Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu, an old and immortal thing, actually made Li Yunxing the prince of the country when his life was in danger.
This made him crazy with jealousy.
What Li Yuntian couldn't accept even more was that Li Yunxing stepped on him because he was born before him and was the direct descendant of the former queen.
So what is this Su Zhaoyang?
The two of them don't even have the same blood flowing through them.
Why did Li Yunxing send him to Jingzhou to provide disaster relief and give him such a big opportunity to express himself?
But he can only be locked up in the palace, living in the name of "confinement"?
"Ha... haha." Li Yuntian sneered twice, "You are very smart. Knowing that this result may be the best for you."
Su Zhaoyang didn't speak and lay quietly on the couch.
"Since you are so obedient, I will help you." Li Yuntian said slowly.
"Brother Imperial?" Su Zhaoyang was a little confused.
Li Yuntian actually wanted to help him? This simply made him unbelievable.
Li Yuntian said it grandly, "You call me imperial brother, brothers are like brothers. Now that you have made a mistake, as an elder brother, I should naturally help you."
Even for someone as slow as Su Zhaoyang, he could still hear the unusual meaning in the other party's words.
Just like when he was a child, Li Yuntian would always coax him to do some dangerous things, and in the end he would not only be injured but also punished. At this time, Li Yuntian would just curl his lips and pretend to say, "How do I know?"
Then he took everything lightly.
Li Yuntian's expression now looks just like he did when he was a child.
There was a faint smile in his eyes, but there was also an aura of conspiracy.
Su Zhaoyang suppressed the discomfort in his heart and returned quietly, "Brother Emperor, it's no need. My brother...I will plead guilty on my own, and I will bear all the punishments alone."
Li Yuntian's cold eyes fell on Su Zhaoyang.
"Don't you always let that bitch Liu Ruxu wipe your ass?"
When he was a child, he bullied Su Zhaoyang a lot because he was a prince.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruxu rose to the position of queen and tried to punish Li Yuntian.
Even the mother-in-law in charge showed no change of expression when she saw Su Zhaoyang being bullied, but Liu Ruxu was the only one who was as protective as if she had touched some of her darlings.
When he thought of this, Li Yuntian's expression became even more ferocious.
If it weren't for Liu Ruxu's protection, your life would have been killed by me!
