"have……"

"snort!"

Seeing that Li Jue was relatively honest, Li Shimin immediately put him down.

"I'm giving you a chance now. If you can memorize two thousand characters of the Zuo Zhuan within half an hour, I'll spare you today!"

"ah?"

"Is two thousand words too many?"

"Then three thousand?"

"No, no, no, two thousand it is!"

Li Jue hurriedly picked up paper and pen to prepare for dictation, but before he could even put pen to paper, he heard Li Shimin speak in a sinister tone.

"Write it here with me!"

"ah?"

Li Jue was so frightened by these words that he almost lost his soul. If he went to Ganlu Palace, wouldn't he be beaten to death by this old man?

Li Jue quickly gave Si Zi a meaningful look, and Si Zi cooperated perfectly, immediately stepping forward to grab her father's arm and acting coquettishly.

"Father, my nephew has been studying very diligently lately, please don't punish him, okay?"

"Didn't I give him a chance?"

"If he can recite two thousand characters from memory, I will spare him from punishment today!"

"Father, why don't you let him recite here? I'll keep an eye on him for you!"

Li Shimin knew all too well the relationship between the aunt and niece. If Si Zi were to keep an eye on Li Jue, that brat would dare to write for him!

"Hmph!"

"I just said, let him go to the Ganlu Hall to write!"

"If you're worried, you can come along. But there's one thing: if you dare to help him deceive me, I'll beat you too!"

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Si Zi was immediately too frightened to utter a sound, and then gave Li Jue a look that said, "May you have good luck."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, Li Jue had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Li Shimin to the Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin ordered someone to prepare paper and pen for Li Jue, and then pointed to a small table in front of his own desk.

"Write it right there!"

"I am personally watching you!"

"oh……"
