Chapter 298, Shuyu, is gone, gone...

*Smack*

Li Shimin was furious.

He picked up the memorial on the table and threw it at Wei Shuyu.

"His Majesty!"

Wei Shuyu picked up the memorial: "The memorial records important matters reported by the ministers. What if it is damaged and national affairs are delayed?"

"Your Majesty, please be mindful of your demeanor, take care of your health, and prioritize tasks..."

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you carefully keep this memorial!"

Wei Shuyu presented the memorial to Li Shimin, offering it respectfully with both hands...

"Don't think that I won't kill you just because you did this."

Li Shimin did not answer.

Instead, he stared at Wei Shuyu with murderous intent...

"When will Your Majesty kill them?"

Wei Shuyu raised his head: "In short, I will kill myself right here!"

"Then go ahead and crash into it!"

Li Shimin pointed to the load-bearing pillar.

"Your Majesty, please put away the memorial." Wei Shuyu said again.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment.

He accepted the memorial.

Then……

Wei Shuyu suddenly turned around and rammed into the pillar.

Holy crap.

That was a real collision...

Li Shimin panicked.

If Xiao Wei were to die in the Imperial Study, how would I explain it to Lao Wei?

"Wang De, Wang De..."

Li Shimin roared in frustration.

But Wang De can't teleport, so how can he be saved?

Just as Wei Shuyu was about to crash into the pillar, Li Yuan suddenly appeared in front of it.

Bang.

Wei Shuyu bumped his head into Li Yuan's stomach.

"Ouch..."

Li Yuan's eyes bulged, and his face turned bright red.

Clutching her stomach, she leaned against a pillar, nearly vomiting up her leftover dinner from the night before.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Wei Shuyu quickly helped Li Yuan up, feigning tears and lamenting, "Why does Your Majesty want to stop me?"

"I have failed in my duty as the supervisor of the junior physicians and have disappointed the Emperor Emeritus."

Li Yuan's mouth moved.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't utter a single word.

Son of a bitch.

Wasn't it supposed to be an act?

You fucking rammed into me so hard.

Wei Shuyu secretly rolled his eyes...

I'm pretending to be weak right now; I'm not exerting any force at all, okay?

"Father."

Li Shimin immediately panicked and rushed over to help him up.

"Wang De, Wang De..."

"Summon the imperial physician."

*Smack*

Just then, Li Yuan raised his hand and smacked Li Shimin on the forehead.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Wei Shuyu was shocked.

You really don't miss any opportunity to beat up Li Shimin.

Li Yuan's communication was smooth.

"Help my ass off."

Li Yuan bent over, clutching his stomach: "Can't you see I can't even stand up straight? And you keep trying to straighten me up!"

"Are you trying to kill me so you can inherit my position as Emperor Emeritus?"

"..."

Who cares about your position as the retired emperor?

Li Shimin was utterly speechless.

"It was my recklessness."

After Li Yuan recovered a little, Li Shimin helped him sit on the dragon throne.

"Someone come here!"

Li Shimin suddenly shouted: "Wei Shuyu attacked the Emperor Emeritus! Capture him!"

"You dare?"

Just then, Li Yuan shouted.

Um?

Li Shimin was taken aback.

Father, I'm doing this to avenge you.

"Did Shuyu say something wrong?"

Li Yuan sternly reprimanded him: "You are competing with the people for profit and disgracing the royal family. You must change your ways!"

"Father!"

Li Shimin's face darkened: "One thing at a time."

Even if Shuyu's heart is good...

"But look at the mistakes he has made; they have gone far too far..."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth.

"Nonsense."

Li Yuan slammed his hand on the table, making a loud thud: "Shuyu, what have you done that wasn't for your benefit?"

"I originally wanted to make money for you."

"Now they've discovered that making money might bring them bad reputation, and they're trying every means to exonerate them."

"He risked his life to offer his advice, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you also want to kill him?"

"Is this your way of being a ruler?"

Li Shimin was speechless.

Actually, he also felt that the money was too hot to handle and wanted to extricate himself from the situation.

But money that's been taken for free can just disappear like that...

But I can't bear to part with it.

"snort."

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "I'll just be frank with you."

"Shuyu was afraid that it would damage your reputation, so he pleaded with me at Da'an Palace for three days and three nights."

"They just hope I'll take the blame."

"Anyway, you're used to blaming me."

"Don't worry about this money, it will all belong to me from now on..."

"That way, your reputation won't be damaged."

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

This is blatant robbery!

Also, Wei Shuyu had only been awake for three days, how did he beg you for three days and three nights?

If you're going to lie, at least try to be reasonable...

"What are you looking at?"

Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin fiercely: "Isn't what belongs to me still yours?"

Um?

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

That makes so much sense...

If something goes wrong, the emperor will take the blame.

If nothing goes wrong, you can still take the money.

"Father, what are you saying?"

Li Shimin coughed awkwardly: "What belongs to your son belongs to Father. If you like, you can take these shares."

"snort."

Li Yuan appeared angry, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

The money is already in my pocket, and you, you wicked beast, still want to take it away?

certainly……

If you really want it, I can't stop you.

But nominally it belongs to me, right?

Where did you spend your money?

Was there any waste?

Is it too much for me to ask a question?

If your extravagance and waste cause me to be provoked...

It's quite reasonable for a brain disease to flare up, right?

"Then what crime has Shuyu committed?"

Li Yuan put on a stern face, showing a rare display of strength in front of Li Shimin.

"You still dare to pressure Xiao Wei."

"If Xiao Wei really dies in the accident, I'd like to see how you explain it to Wei Zheng."

Li Shimin was helpless.

I just wanted to scare Xiao Wei, but who knew he would actually dare to crash into me.

Just thinking...

Wei Zheng has arrived!

After finishing his shift at the Ministry of Personnel, Old Wei returned to His Majesty's presence for his duty.

"Your subject Wei Zheng has met with the Emperor Emeritus and Your Majesty."

Wei Zheng glanced around briefly, surprised by how lively it was.

"Shuyu, what are you doing here?" Wei Zheng asked sternly.

"Father, I am doing my duty."

Wei Shuyu answered honestly.

"Yeah?"

Wei Zheng stroked his beard with satisfaction.

It seems my lesson yesterday was quite successful.

"His Majesty."

Wei Zheng bowed and said, "My son is young, and if he has offended anyone, I hope Your Majesty will forgive him."

"I wonder what advice my son offered this time?"

What kind of advice is this? Every word is suicidal.

The charges kept piling up.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan protected him, and Li Shimin couldn't do anything about Xiao Wei.

"Shuyu, he..."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "His loyalty is commendable!"

"Your words today are a wake-up call, they have stirred my blood, and I feel as if I have returned to the battlefield, wishing I could draw my sword and cut the enemy down from their horses, tear them to pieces, and dismember them..."

Wei Zheng smiled with satisfaction.

It has to be my son; he made a lasting impression on His Majesty the moment he appeared.

but……

"His Majesty!"

Wei Zheng suddenly straightened his face and said, "Your words are too harsh and unbecoming of a ruler."

"Now that the Great Tang Dynasty commands respect across the world, Your Majesty should possess the magnanimity of a ruler of a great nation..."

Screw your arrogance.

Did the three of you conspire to provoke me?

Li Shimin clenched his fist in anger inside his sleeve.

"Cough cough..."

Just then, Li Yuan suddenly coughed and said, "Since you've come, Wei Zheng, I'll return to Da'an Palace first, so that others won't impeach me for interfering in state affairs."

"Shuyu, he's gone, he's gone..."

Li Yuan invited Wei Shuyu to leave together.

"Respectfully seeing off the Emperor Emeritus."

Wang De and Wei Zheng bowed respectfully as they saw him off.

He hasn't even straightened up yet.

Li Yuan walked back, patting his head as he went...

"This person is getting old; their memory isn't good anymore."

"I almost left my things behind."

Under the questioning gazes of the others, Li Yuan walked to the dragon table.

He bent down and picked up the rattan cane.

He tapped the table a few times to make sure there were no problems before putting it away and carrying it behind his back.

"..."

Li Shimin was speechless.

Wei Zheng remained silent.

It was as if I had guessed why His Majesty was so excited...

"Shuyu, he's gone, he's gone."

The two figures, one old and one young, seemed to have done something wrong, and they fled extremely quickly.
