Li Qinzai recalled the troubles he got into when he was a child, trying to awaken his empathy for what Qiaoer did.
When I was a child, I used a slingshot to hit the windows of other people's houses, threw stones in the latrines, tied a long string of firecrackers to the tails of dogs, and lit them to scare the dogs into running around...
He got into a lot of troubles, but mostly he was still in the ignorant and naive range of a child. Of course, he got a lot of beatings.
But Li Qinzai had never given drugs to anyone in his previous life.
The disaster that Qiao'er got into was obviously better than his predecessor, especially because the person who caused the disaster was the current crown prince.
Li Qinzai's face turned green, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, whether he should whip out the seven wolves and beat the naughty kid first, or rush to the East Palace to calm down the Crown Prince first.
Seeing Li Qinzai's ugly face, the eunuch carefully consoled him: "Li County Marquis Kuanxin, after Your Highness woke up yesterday, he heard from Baiqisi that it was the Young Master and his disciples who had done it, so His Highness suppressed the matter and strictly ordered that no external reports be allowed to be reported.
."
Li Qinzai's face softened slightly. He knew that Li Hong was giving him face. In other words, he owed Li Hong a favor.
He had done nothing and somehow owed the prince a favor. The more Li Qinzai thought about it, the angrier he became.
Is the prince's favor so easy to owe?
Li Qinzai was immediately polite to the eunuch. He had no choice but to do it. His son had gotten into trouble, and the father couldn't stand it.
"Please ask this chamberlain to take me to the East Palace quickly to meet His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Qinzai smiled politely.
He took it out casually, and a small piece of heavy gold was thrust into the eunuch's hand without any trace.
The eunuch suddenly smiled, and with a flick of his little finger, the small piece of gold somehow magically disappeared into the eunuch's palm.
Everyone who comes out of the palace is a person with special skills.
Don't bother beating the child, let's make peace first.
Li Qinzai and the eunuch set off immediately and hurried towards Chang'an City.
Two hours later, Li Qinzai entered Chang'an City, led his horse and walked straight to the East Palace.
The East Palace is located next to the Taiji Palace. It is actually the same palace, but separated into two by a high palace wall.
Many years ago, the deposed prince Li Chengqian was only separated by a wall from the Taiji Palace where his father Li Shimin lived. This guy was planning a rebellion under his father's nose. Among the wise monarchs of the time and so many wise ministers and generals under his command, Li Chengqian only managed to win over one prince.
Set, if you don't fail, you will be a ghost.
Li Qinzai came to the East Palace for the first time. After entering the palace gate, he walked carefully according to court etiquette and never dared to look left or right.
I don't know the prince very well. The last time I met him, he came to apologize. I don't know what kind of character Li Hong is, but Li Qinzai didn't dare to make trouble on his territory.
Under the leadership of the eunuchs, Li Qin entered the prince's palace.
After entering the palace, Li Qinzai saw Prince Li Hong lying on the bed with dull eyes, a white handkerchief on his forehead, eyes open with a blank expression, looking up at the beams above his head.
Li Qinzai's cheek twitched violently.
The little bastard didn't know how much medicine he had given him. Li Hong seemed to be stunned by the medicine...
If this is the case, none of the nine Li family clans are powerful enough to be punished by Li Zhi.
"Your Majesty, Li Qinzai, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Qinzai stood in the palace and said loudly.
Li Hong was agitated and turned his head to look at Li Qinzai. After recognizing him, Li Hong showed a smile on his face. He stood up and threw off the handkerchief on his forehead. He got off the bed wearing only his footwear and strode up to meet him.
"Mr. Li is here, haha. This is your first time here in the lonely East Palace. You are a rare guest." Li Hong smiled warmly. Li Qinzai looked at him for a moment and found that he had no sign of anger. Looking at Li Hong's words and behavior at the moment, it seemed that he was also angry.
Not stupid...
Li Qinzai quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you are not stupid, the future of the Tang Dynasty is still full of hope, and a prosperous age can be expected.
"My dog was naughty and caused great trouble. Today I am here to plead guilty. I feel sorry for Your Highness, and please punish Him severely..." Li Qinzai said with regret on his face.
Li Hong snorted and asked curiously: "Where's Jing?"
"Ah?" Li Qinzai looked up in shock.
"Didn't you bear the burden of Jing to apologize? Where is Jing?" Li Hong looked at Li Qinzai and asked.
Li Qinzai was surprised: "Your Highness, are you serious?"
Li Hong burst into laughter, patted Li Qinzai on the shoulder and said, "You're joking, there have been rumors in Chang'an for a long time that the Li family Qilin'er is not only highly capable, but also a funny person. I have also been famous in the East Palace for a long time."
Amid Li Hong's laughter, Li Qinzai tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "Your Highness is funnier than I am."
How should I put it, such a joke is worse than forcibly scratching the armpit.
The guests and hosts sat down, and Li Hong called for wine, food and kabuki. Amidst the pleasant sound of silk, bamboo, sheng and Xiao, the guests and hosts bowed to each other.
After the song and dance, Li Hong put down his wine cup and said slowly: "Mr. Li, don't worry about what happened yesterday. The children were playing around, and I was just unlucky. When I get back, please don't scold your son harshly, otherwise in my heart
disturbed."
Li Qinzai pursed his lips and said, "A mistake is a mistake. If you make a mistake, you should be punished. I will definitely scold the dog."
Li Hong shook his head: "It happened for a reason. After I woke up yesterday, Baiqisi reported that the incident was caused by the conflict between Qi Bizhen and Wu Minzhi. As a senior brother, it is understandable that your son should avenge his junior brother."
Li Qinzai was shocked and set off from Ganjingzhuang in a hurry. He had no time to ask about the cause of the matter. He did not expect that there were also these grudges mixed in.
"Wu Minzhi?"
Li Hong nodded: "The son of a Korean lady was later adopted by his mother and given to the Wu family, so he changed his surname to Wu."
Li Qinzai nodded. He had heard of this man and he had a great reputation, but it was hard to say whether he was a good person or a bad person. He probably had a mixed reputation.
After Li Hong drank a few glasses of wine, he held his forehead with one hand and sighed with a wry smile: "I'm really curious about what kind of medicine your master gave me yesterday. The medicine was a bit strong, and I'm still dizzy until now.
Next time, even if you want to play a prank, please... be gentle, my body really can't stand the torment."
Li Qinzai said awkwardly: "It's a prescription I came up with without having anything to do. It's called 'Mongolian sweat medicine'. If your highness needs it, can I get some for you?"
Li Hong was stunned: "What do I need that thing for? Mr. Li, what I need is an antidote."
Li Qinzai laughed dryly: "There is no antidote... Your Highness, drink more hot water."
Li Hong waved his hand and said: "That's all, Mr. Li, don't worry, I have no intention of blaming you. It's just a child playing a prank. How can I not even have this kind of tolerance?"
"However, Mr. Li, the person your son wanted to deal with yesterday was Wu Minzhi. After Baiqisi found out, the matter has been spread. Mr. Li is afraid that Wu Minzhi will have to give an explanation. This person's temperament is really..."
Li Qinzai's heart sank: "Is Wu Minzhi very irritable?"
Li Hong shook his head: "Not irritable, but...well, a bit moody. He might be able to restrain himself in front of me, but I heard that his behavior is very...weird. Well, yes, he is weird."
"No one can grasp his mood and anger. When he was in a happy mood and laughing, he suddenly became furious, smashed the table and threw vases, etc. After a while, he suddenly regained his joy and continued to laugh..."
Li Qinzai listened quietly and immediately made an evaluation of Wu Minzhi in his heart.
