Li Tai's sudden apology also surprised Li Jue.

In his mind, his fourth uncle was a spoiled brat who believed that others should apologize to him, not him.

However, he had just heard Li Tai apologize.

Therefore, after much hesitation, Li Jue spoke with a grin.

"Fourth Uncle, what did you just say? Can you speak louder? I'm afraid Dad can't hear you!"

"ah?"

Li Tai never expected Li Jue to react this way, and was completely stunned. Li Shimin was also astonished, but quickly regained his composure.

After all, he had spent a lot of time with Li Jue and knew all too well how cunning that guy was.

"You brat, trying to take advantage of your fourth uncle, aren't you?!"

"No, I'm really afraid my dad can't hear me!"

"You know my father is far away in Qianzhou, even underground. How could anyone hear you if you spoke so softly!"

"this……"

Thinking of his own plight during his exile and then recalling his elder brother's situation in Qianzhou, Li Tai suddenly felt a sense of desolation.

"well!"

"Fine, fine, since you've made the request, your fourth uncle will grant it!"

"Big brother!"

"I'm sorry, fourth brother apologizes!"

After shouting loudly, Li Tai ignored everyone else's reactions and burst into tears.

"Big brother, I really didn't expect it to turn out like this, sob sob sob..."

"If I had been any more sensible back then, I wouldn't have even considered taking that position from you!"

"Actually, it can't be entirely my fault. If it weren't for my father's doting and the encouragement from those around me, I wouldn't have had the ambition to seize the throne!"

Li Tai cried for a while, then glared at Li Shimin with resentment, and then pinned the blame on Li Shimin.

"It's all Father's fault!"

"It was Father who killed my elder brother!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately objected, grabbed a plate, and threw it at him.

"You son of a bitch fighting for the throne, what does it have to do with me!"

"And what's more, how dare you sow discord between us, grandfather and grandson! I'll beat you to death!"

Not to be outdone, Li Tai grabbed a pork knuckle and threw it over.

"Go ahead and hit me!"

"If you don't kill me today, I'm not your son!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin had no reason to back down, and immediately grabbed a roast goose and threw it at Li Tai. Li Tai, being very polite, returned the favor with a stewed chicken.

After a few rounds of back and forth, the two of them were covered in oil stains, and the entire side hall was instantly a mess.

Whether they were tired from fighting or there was nothing left to throw on the table, they sat down in their chairs and sulked.

"It's all your fault!"

"It's your fault!"

"You're the one who killed my brother!"

"It's you!"

"I'll just ask you one question: were those people who interrogated my brother sent by you?"

"I……"

"They were indeed sent by me, but weren't you the one secretly vying for the throne and bullying your elder brother?"

"It's me!"

"I take responsibility for my actions, unlike some people who refuse to admit it!"

Li Tai turned the tables on Li Shimin, leaving him completely bewildered. After a long while, Li Shimin sighed sadly.

"Chengqian's death is indeed inextricably linked to me!"

"Li Jue, if you hate someone, hate me. Don't resent your fourth uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue looked at Li Shimin, then at Li Tai, whose eyes were red from crying, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

These two are really weirdos; they're fighting so fiercely over a dead person!

"Fourth Uncle is right, my father's death was indeed more related to Grandfather!"

Although Li Shimin admitted his mistake, he was still so angry when he heard Li Jue say that that he glared at him with his dragon eyes wide open.

What did you say?

Upon seeing this, Li Jue subconsciously took a few steps back, and then said weakly.

Did I say something wrong?

"If it weren't for your deliberate attempt to elevate my fourth uncle and your constant belittling of my father, coupled with the fact that the officials you sent to my father were a bunch of scoundrels who only knew how to offer malicious advice, how could my father have rebelled, and how could he have died in Qianzhou!"

"this……"

Upon hearing Li Jue's words, Li Shimin immediately lowered his head in shame, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he did indeed harbor ambitions to become the heir apparent back then, which is why he promoted Li Tai in every way, leaving Li Chengqian at a loss.

"well!"

"You've ruined a perfectly good meal!"

Li Shimin glared at Li Tai, pretending to be the one to accuse him. Li Tai, seeing that things had been discussed and that Li Jue had spoken up for him, was in a great mood and felt somewhat embarrassed about his earlier madness.

"This has become such a mess... I never expected it to escalate like this."

"How about Father Emperor comes to my residence another day, and I'll treat Father and my nephew to a good meal?"

Li Shimin was quite moved by this, as he had not experienced such family affection for a long time.

"OK!"

"But you're not allowed to poison the food!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tai glared fiercely at Li Er, thinking to himself, "It's only been a few years since I last saw him, how come my father's mouth has become so vicious?"

"Father, don't worry, I'll be the first to pick up both the food and the wine!"

"Nephew, are you going to give your fourth uncle any face?"

Li Jue pondered for a moment upon hearing this and then replied.

"No poisoning is allowed on bowls, chopsticks, or plates!"

"Uh..."

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this. He finally understood why his father was so vicious. It turned out that he had been led astray by this vicious little guy!

"I'll poison it!"

"Not only will the cups, plates, and chopsticks be poisoned, but even the chair you're sitting on will be poisoned to death, you little fat pig!"
