Chapter 297 Your Majesty may kill or torture me as you please

The Imperial Study.

Li Shimin was looking intently at a stack of papers.

The above clearly records the conversation between Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyu.

Wei Zheng may have said some things that were inappropriate, but he didn't care.

"Who is making a fuss outside the door?"

Li Shimin put down the paper.

Daring to make a scene in front of the Imperial Study, they're asking for trouble.

"It is I!"

Li Yuan and Wei Shuyu forced their way in, and when they encountered guards blocking their way, Li Yuan slapped one of them.

"Father?"

Li Shimin quickly stood up: "Why are you here?"

When Li Shimin saw Wei Shuyu behind Li Yuan, he couldn't help but frown.

"Why have I come?"

Li Yuan suddenly pulled out the rattan cane from his back.

He slammed his hand on the table: "Everyone who has no connection to this, get out!"

"..."

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.

It's those familiar vines again...

Even though the injury to my buttocks has long since healed, the thought of being whipped still lingers.

I felt a tingling sensation in my buttocks.

"Father, what exactly happened?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Get out, all of you!"

Li Yuan ignored him and shouted again.

"Everyone, get out."

Li Shimin waved his hand helplessly.

"His Majesty……"

Wang De was worried, for he had witnessed Wei Shuyu's madness firsthand.

"go out!"

Li Shimin raised his voice and shouted sternly.

Given Wei Shuyu's madness back then, these eunuchs in the Imperial Study now simply cannot stop him.

After everyone had left the Imperial Study, Li Yuan grinned and walked toward Li Shimin.

The hand holding the rattan cane was still trembling slightly.

"Father, what do you want to do?"

Li Shimin's voice gradually turned cold.

"You beast!"

Li Yuan slammed his hand on the table again: "Did you embezzle the shares I obtained by exchanging your mother's jade ruyi?"

Um?

Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately.

Look at Wei Shuyu, look at Li Yuan.

Silly kid.

Little Wei betrayed me!

“Father, I will pay for this.”

Li Shimin explained, "Haven't we already returned the jade ruyi to you?"

"The jade ruyi is for me."

Li Yuan walked step by step toward Li Shimin: "But what about the money?"

"I clearly exchanged a jade ruyi for two thousand strings of cash as investment. Tell me yourself, how much money did you invest?"

Huh?

Li Shimin's expression changed drastically.

"A monarch of a nation, engaging in business!"

You've completely disgraced the royal family!

Li Yuan, full of vigor, shouted: "Tell me, should you be hit or not?"

"Father...please let your son explain."

Li Shimin couldn't help but wipe away his cold sweat.

If this gets out, it will be a major stain on his reputation.

The courtiers would definitely berate themselves mercilessly.

I was so blinded by greed that I believed Xiao Wei's lies...

"explain?"

Li Yuan roared, "I won't listen to your explanation!"

"Today, on behalf of our ancestors, I will teach you a lesson for disgracing my royal family!"

*Smack*

Li Yuan lashed out with his whip at Li Shimin.

The whip whistled through the air, about to strike Li Shimin.

Li Shimin picked up a book from the table and used it to block the attack with ease.

He then seized the vine in his hand.

After all, Li Yuan was an emperor who rose from the ashes and was still in his prime; how could he possibly deal with Li Shimin?

"Father, you've gone too far!"

Li Shimin shouted with a gloomy expression.

"What a load of crap."

Li Yuan tried to pull it out, but couldn't.

You still dare to resist?

We've got all the leverage over you, do you still dare to resist?

Li Yuan grabbed a book from the table and threw it at Li Shimin.

Now Li Shimin had no way to hide.

His hasty escape would damage his imposing image.

He could only let the books pound against his chest.

"Father, that's enough!"

Li Shimin slammed his hand on the table: "If you continue to cause trouble in the Taiji Hall, don't blame me for ordering someone to take you back to the Da'an Palace."

What to do when your beast gets angry?

Don't panic...

Looking for Xiao Wei!

"What are you yelling about? You think you're the only one with a loud voice?"

Li Yuan, obsessed with saving face, roared, "I'll have Shuyu tell you..."

Swish.

Both of them turned their gazes toward Wei Shuyu.

"His Majesty……"

As soon as Wei Shuyu bowed, he heard Li Shimin's roar...

"Wei Shuyu!"

"Who gave you permission to bring the Emperor Emeritus here!"

"Who gave you permission to run wild in the Imperial Study?"

Li Shimin was absolutely furious.

Telling Li Yuan about the investment would be tantamount to betraying oneself.

Betraying oneself is tantamount to treason!

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus is one of our own."

Wei Shuyu explained earnestly, "His Majesty has shares, and the Emperor Emeritus also has shares; they're all on our side!"

"So you're just ignoring what I say, are you?"

"Leaking forbidden secrets!"

Li Shimin's face was frosty: "Do you know what crime this is?"

Leaking information about palace affairs is a grave offense.

Revealing the emperor's private affairs is an even more serious crime.

"I order you to keep this secret."

Li Shimin's murderous intent was palpable: "You have informed the Emperor of this matter, but do you know what crime you have been charged with?"

"Your Majesty, I was wrong!"

Wei Shuyu bowed again: "Your Majesty, I should not have induced you to engage in business; Your Majesty should not have been stigmatized!"

"I am guilty, I deserve to die!"

"Today your subject has come..."

"It's all to clear His Majesty of this stain!"

Remove stains?

What do you want to do?

A glint of light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes...

Suddenly his expression changed drastically.

not good!

That little bastard Wei wants to take back my shares in Wenyun Pavilion!

"Wei Shuyu!"

Li Shimin quickly changed the subject: "I am talking to you about the leak of secrets!"

"His Majesty!"

Unexpectedly, Wei Shuyu was not afraid at all; instead, he raised his head and looked directly at Li Shimin.

His face showed a look of facing certain death.

"I am guilty! I never intended to go back alive!"

"Your Majesty, I have misled you, leaked secret messages from the inner palace, and committed a crime of deceiving the emperor..."

"And now I am so disrespectful!"

"I never intended to leave here alive today..."

"My heart is filled with anguish..."

"I have tarnished Your Majesty's name."

"Your Majesty, I only hope that before I die, I can awaken you and stop you from doing wrong things."

Wei Shuyu spoke passionately, his eyes slightly red, looking as if he wished he could die for his lord right now.

Don't you want money?

Take them all back, not a single copper coin will be given to you!

Weren't you going to kill me?

Go ahead and kill them.

Anyway, if I die, the Wei family won't be implicated.

What's there to be afraid of?

When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky; if they don't die, they live for ten thousand years!

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to wear!

You want to kill me?

You don't need to make excuses or reasons!

If I offer my head to you, will you kill me or not?

You dare not kill?

Then I'll just feed kills to the enemy every day!

"Do you know what you're saying?" Li Shimin pointed at Wei Shuyu, his face turning purple with anger.

"Your Majesty, you may kill or torture me as you please!"

Wei Shuyu bowed again: "Your Majesty, I only hope that you will repent and never engage in business again!"

"Shut up!"

Li Shimin rebuked him.

"Your Majesty, you may kill or torture me as you please!"

Wei Shuyu bowed once more: "Your Majesty, I humbly request that you accept my advice..."

"Shut up!"

"Your Majesty, you may kill or torture me as you please..."

Wei Shuyu was like a broken record.

No matter what you say...

Anyway, that's all we have to say.

Go ahead and kill me if you dare.

If you dare kill me, I'll make sure Lao Wei gives you a good dressing down.

snort.

Our father is Wei Zheng, who are we afraid of?
