Zong Zhengli lowered his head and stood there without saying a word.

"You have really stretched your hands so far right under my nose. You are using the palace and the imperial guards to take over my affairs. Will you ever try to stop me from doing that?" the emperor reprimanded angrily.

He sent someone to pass on the message to Li Wangfu.

He is not at home during the period of house arrest.

He waited for an hour and a half.

"You are truly my good son. I have waited for you for so long. For decades, you are the only one who has enjoyed this kind of treatment!"

"You are really brave."

"Tell me, was it you who did what happened to the Emperor's eldest grandson?"

The emperor slammed the table and his angry voice became louder and louder. Defu was so scared that he drove away all the eunuchs, went out himself, closed the door, and waited outside.

"How can you be a father? How can there be a father in this world who would do such a thing to his own flesh and blood?"

"You disappoint me so much!"

The emperor was spitting angrily and accusing him harshly, his eyes full of anger.

Zong Zhengli lowered his head slightly, remained silent, and his eyes were indifferent.

Is he vicious?

Is he an incompetent father?

Oh.

"Father, didn't I learn this from you?" He suddenly looked up.

"What...what did you say?!" The emperor was stunned.

Zong Zhengli looked at him and said sarcastically, "When I was born, you ordered my mother to be killed and threw me to be raised by palace maids. You have ignored me and shown no concern for me for more than 20 years. Compared to what I did to Zong Zheng Ziye, your behavior is ten or a hundred times more cruel than mine."

"I am not even one thousandth as good as you."

The emperor's pupils shrank sharply:

"you!"

He held his breath and looked at this rebellious child, as if he had never expected him to say such a thing.

When he realized what was happening, he was furious.

But……

What Zong Zhengli said was all true. Even if he wanted to get angry, he couldn't find a suitable reason.

Instead of venting his anger, he held it in himself, causing his abdomen to swell and hurt.

"You! Zong Zhengli! You...you actually said such words! You!" He was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

The sarcasm in Zong Zhengli's eyes deepened.

You feel guilty and can't speak, right?

I’m in the wrong, right?

Are you ashamed of yourself?

What were you doing twenty years ago?

As the old saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. It is precisely because the emperor did not set a good example as a father that he learned from him, took a detour, and now blames him.

If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.

Zong Zhengli didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he said directly:

"Zi Ye's full moon banquet will be held in the eighth day. I will give you what you want then. Please, father, return Zi Ye to me."

After saying this, he turned and left.

"you!"

The tone of this command?

"You rebellious son! You deserve to die!" The emperor waved his sleeves to brush off the memorials on the table, looked at Zong Zhengli who strode away without looking back, sat on the chair with a distorted mouth, gasping for breath.

Defu rushed in:

"Your Majesty, please calm down, calm down!"

Pat your back and breathe smoothly.

How can he calm down?

He understood what King Li meant. Eight days later, he could give all the elixirs of immortality to him. In exchange, he had to return Zong Zheng Ziye to King Li and forgive his sins.

As a son, you threaten my father?

good!

very nice!

What a great achievement!

The emperor was so angry that he finally laughed.

Once he gets the elixir of immortality, he will find a reason to bring Zong Zheng Ziye to his side. Such a man is not worthy of being Ziye's father!

From now on, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with Zong Zhengli!

You dare to pluck the hair on my head, Zong Zhengli, you are still a little naive!
