Chapter 119 Public Recognition

Chu Ran fainted.

After examining him, the imperial physician said that he had disordered qi and blood circulation, obstructed venous vessels, and excessive emotions, which was why he suddenly fainted.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and the situation was not serious. He just needed a few days of recuperation.

Li Fu asked about some precautions and asked the imperial physician to write a prescription. As soon as the imperial physician left, Jin Yuan walked in.

"Sir, the prince wants you to come to his place now."

Li Fu said "hmm", bent down and pulled the quilt to cover Chu Ran's exposed hand. He turned his head to look at Qin Nianwei, who said, "I'll guard this place for you, you go meet him."

Li Fu nodded, turned and walked out.

When Li Fu arrived, Qin Yuxiao was talking to someone in the front hall. After the person came out, Li Fu walked in.

"Come on, sit down."

Li Fu sat down on a chair nearby.

Qin Yuxiao frowned coldly, looking unhappy, "You've been fooling around enough, it's time to do some serious work."

Li Fu didn't think this was nonsense. Chu Ran was the person he had decided to spend his life with. How could saving someone he loved be considered nonsense? However, there were still many things to be resolved, and now was not the time to talk about this matter.

Qin Yuxiao stared at Li Fu for a while, and seeing that he did not refute, he frowned and continued: "What happened in the court has nothing to do with me. Don't expect me to handle it for you. You can handle the rest yourself."

After a while, Li Fu came out.

"Prince, where are we going now?"

Li Fu looked up at the gloomy sky above him and said in a cold voice, "Enter the palace."

From last night to today, all the civil and military officials were trapped in the palace. Qin Yuxiao said he would not help to deal with it, and he really did not help at all, leaving them alone. But after one night, this group of people got angry and started swearing when no one was around.

"What does Qin Yuxiao want to do? Want to rebel?!"

"He locked us up here. Does he want to kill us all? If he doesn't want to kill us or deal with us, why does he want to trap us here for a whole night?"

"You, come here! Help pass a message to Qin Yuxiao, telling him to beat us or kill us as you wish! Otherwise, just let us go home!"

The person guarding the door pretended to be deaf and could not hear anything no matter how they made a fuss.

After Li Fu entered the palace, he went directly to the place where Shen Minghan and Li Gaoyou were imprisoned.

These two people were detained separately from the others.

As soon as Li Fu stepped in, Li Gaoyou, who was sleeping soundly against the table, woke up immediately, and Shen Minghan beside him also woke up at the same time.

Li Fu glanced at Li Gaoyou's leg. He didn't know who had summoned the imperial physician last night, but the injury on Li Gaoyou's leg had obviously been treated.

Li Fu glanced at Li Gaoyou and then looked away. Li Gaoyou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But Li Fu's gaze only moved for a moment and then returned to him again.

Before he could completely relax, he was brought up again.

Li Fu went straight up and kicked the wound on Li Gaoyou's leg that had just been bandaged. Li Gaoyou screamed in pain, his face turned red like liver from the pain, but he didn't dare to resist.

"Uncle Xing is dead. Did you send someone to hunt him down?"

Li Gaoyou hugged his legs and yelled, "Who is Uncle Xing? I know who he is!"

"So that's you?" Li Fu looked at Shen Minghan again.

Shen Minghan said: "It's not me. I don't agree with this at all, so how could I have done this?"

Li Fu continued to sneer, "It's either you or him. It must have been done by the two of you."

Li Gaoyou felt like he had eaten a bitter melon, and his face was full of bitterness. He didn't know how to explain this to Li Fu. He didn't even know what Li Fu was asking about. But it was indeed possible that his people did it. After all, Chu Qinglin was indeed the one he wanted to kill. It would not be surprising if his subordinates acted on their own and did something else.

But even so, Li Gaoyou still explained with no confidence, "It's not me, it's really not me... Don't... ah...!"

Li Fu stepped on his wound again and crushed it hard with his toe.

Li Gaoyou's forehead veins throbbed with pain, and he strained his throat, but in the end he couldn't even utter a few screams.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Li Fu rubbed his wound and said, "As long as you meet the civil and military officials later and tell them that you are actually a eunuch, I will let you go."

Li Fu bent his waist and spoke almost close to Li Gaoyou's ear, especially emphasizing the word "eunuch". Although his voice was low, it was full of malice.

"Don't listen to him!" Shen Minghan was extremely anxious. At the same time, he looked at Li Fu with hatred, as if he had already seen through Li Fu's thoughts and thought Li Fu was ridiculous. "You are the prince! He dare not touch you! If he dares to touch you! He is a traitor! Even if a traitor sits on the throne, he will not be able to sit safely!"

"He's right." Li Fu not only did not refute, but also smiled at Shen Minghan, "Do you want to listen to his advice?"

"No, no, no!" Li Gaoyou's face was bruised and purple, and the pain from the wound made him miserable. He stretched out his hand to move Li Fu's foot, but his hand could not reach out at all. "I listen to you, no matter what you say, I will listen to you, please let me go, I beg you, please let me go, ah?"

"Li Gaoyou! You are the crown prince! Don't forget! You are the crown prince! The future crown prince!"

Shen Minghan shouted angrily.

Li Gaoyou didn't listen to what Shen Minghan said at all. With tears on his face, he looked up at Li Fu and begged humbly like a dog that had lost its dignity: "Please... let me go... let me go..."

Li Fu smiled, then raised his hand and withdrew his foot.

Li Fu walked in front, while Li Gaoyou was carried on a stretcher by the soldiers and brought to the main hall.

The two men walked into the hall one after the other. When the officials in the hall saw Li Fu coming, those stubborn ones were about to curse at him, but then they saw Li Gaoyou behind them.

"Your Highness? Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"What have you done to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! You traitor and thief! How dare you harm the current crown prince!"

Li Fu ignored the other party and found a place to sit down.

On the table, last night's food and drinks had not been cleared away in time. After Li Fu sat down, he poured himself a glass of wine. He picked up the glass and glanced at Li Gaoyou while lowering his eyes.

Li Gaoyou was so frightened by the warning look that he trembled all over.

"I... no, I... I actually don't have the qualifications to be the crown prince..."

"Your Highness! What are you talking about? Are you being threatened?"

"You still have the entire Dingbei Army, which is full of traitors and thieves. Everyone can kill them!"

"No, no!" Li Gaoyou swallowed hard, and then spoke again with difficulty, "It's because, because I..."

For Li Gaoyou, admitting that he was inhumane was an extreme shame and humiliation.

He couldn't face it before, and he couldn't face it now.

But, if you don't listen to Li Fu...

Li Gaoyou couldn't help but shudder.

"I...I..." Li Gaoyou looked around. Everyone was staring at him. Their anxious gazes were like red-hot irons branding him. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Gaoyou suddenly closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and said cruelly, "I, I will never have an heir in this lifetime!"
