Chapter 103 Chen?
"Why do you want to see the Emperor's grandfather?"
Li Lizhi was in a bit of a dilemma.
Li Yuan was under house arrest, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach him.
In particular, Li Yuansheng's sons were listed as key individuals for quarantine.
People would only gather together for certain grand occasions when Li Yuan was required to appear.
"Save Samurai Go!"
Wei Shuyu did not hide anything.
"Let the Emperor's grandfather save you?"
Li Lizhi looked skeptical: "You'd be better off having my grandfather save you than having me save you."
This is not Li Lizhi boasting.
She, being in the palace, knew best about Li Yuan's circumstances.
Aside from the servants specifically assigned to serve Li Yuan, Li Yuan couldn't command even a single person.
"You don't need to worry about that."
Wei Shuyu calmly replied, "So, tell me whether you'll help me with this favor or not."
“But I can’t see my grandfather either,” Li Lizhi replied helplessly.
“You can do it…” Wei Shuyu smiled.
"Why can I be one?"
"If you don't help, I'll tell His Majesty about spanking you."
"Wei Shuyu!"
Li Lizhi blushed and shouted, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll have someone throw you out!"
"So, will you help me with this?" Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.
“I…I really can’t help with this.” Li Lizhi sighed. “The area around Da’an Palace is full of my father’s people. We’ll be driven away if we get close.”
"Then I will tell His Majesty..."
"Shut up!"
Li Lizhi is almost driven crazy by this.
What's wrong with me that I feel happy when I see those three idiots?
"Princess Chang Le, think about how many times I've helped you?"
"First, I have won against Changsun Chong, so you don't need to marry him for the time being."
"Secondly, I'll take all the blame for your sneaking out of the palace."
"Thirdly, I saved you when you were attacked, didn't I?"
"I've helped you so many times, it's not too much for you to do me a small favor..."
Wei Shuyu counted them one by one on his fingers.
Li Lizhi was conflicted.
Given the extent of her favor with Li Shimin, she could certainly storm the Da'an Palace.
But it's hard to clean up the mess afterwards.
"If you don't agree, I'll go and fight Changsun Chong, and then I'll lose to him."
Wei Shuyu added fuel to the fire.
"You're shameless!"
"Little Kiki, tell her, are we shameless?"
Choi Shin-ki immediately stepped forward: "We're not shameless, we're extremely shameless!"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
"How can you talk like that?"
"Then how should we spit it out?"
Choi Shin-ki covered his head in grievance.
"Um……"
Wei Shuyu stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "I think what you said makes some sense."
"Then why did you hit me?"
"Just did it on a whim."
"..."
Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Li Lizhi became even angrier.
"If Father finds out, he won't let us off the hook."
Wei Shuyu glanced at Li Lizhi: "Little Jiji, tell her, will she let us go?"
Choi Shin-ki stepped forward again: "Facts have taught us a lesson: your own flesh and blood can't be killed!"
"..."
You're absolutely right.
“I can help you, but you can’t stay too long,” Li Lizhi said after a moment’s hesitation.
"Don't worry, we'll leave as soon as we're done talking." Wei Shuyu grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
As for how long the talks will last, I don't know.
He wasn't entirely confident that he could persuade Li Yuan.
"Okay, then come with me."
The group set off in a flurry of activity.
With Li Lizhi leading the way, no one dared to block the way.
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of Da'an Palace.
"Greetings, Princess Chang Le!"
Upon seeing this, the guards at the door immediately clasped their hands in a salute.
"Um."
Li Lizhi nodded arrogantly, then, as if nothing had happened, she was about to walk inside.
"Princess, halt."
The guards blocked their way: "Without His Majesty's order, no one is allowed to set foot in Da'an Palace."
"How dare you!"
Li Lizhi struck a pose and shouted, "Can't I even see my grandfather?"
"Princess Chang Le, please forgive me."
The guard clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This is His Majesty's order. Please, Princess, do not make things difficult for us."
"If the princess insists on entering Da'an Palace, she can first obtain His Majesty's permission."
Li Lizhi snorted and looked helplessly at Wei Shuyu.
It's as if it's saying I can't get in either...
Wei Shuyu frowned, then reached out and gently pushed.
Li Lizhi stumbled and fell forward.
The guard instinctively reached out to help, but before he could even touch him, Wei Shuyu immediately pulled him back...
"Indecent assault! Indecent assault on the princess!"
Swish...
Everyone's expression changed simultaneously.
The guard was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.
"You scoundrel, how dare you molest the princess!"
Wei Shuyu shouted, "Go! Take him down!"
Choi Shin-ki and Bang Yi-ae stepped forward aggressively.
Wei Shuyu, supporting Li Lizhi, took the opportunity to walk to the front gate, his sharp gaze sweeping over the two guards...
"Anyone who dares to stop us should think about the consequences!"
Inside the palace, there weren't that many guards; at most, there were only two imperial guards at the gate.
The rest were mostly eunuchs and palace maids.
Blocking the road was not within the duties of eunuchs and palace maids.
Li Yuan was merely a deposed retired emperor.
They must be out of their minds to offend the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty for this.
"Go and inform the Empress!"
Seeing the group break into Da'an Palace, the guards dared not violently stop them.
They cannot bear the responsibility if Li Lizhi is harmed as a result.
Inside the Da'an Palace.
Li Yuan lay on the couch, utterly bored, watching the Hu women dance.
I've seen this dance dozens of times, and I'm really getting tired of it.
Li Yuan closed his eyes and began to doze off.
"Grandfather, Lizhi has come to see you."
Pushing open the heavy door, several people rushed in.
Beautiful?
Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly got up.
"Greetings, Emperor Emeritus."
Wei Shuyu and the others bowed in unison.
Li Yuan ignored her, but when he looked at Li Lizhi, he smiled and said, "Why are you here to see me? Did that beast send you?"
"Father doesn't know, it was Lizhi who barged in."
Li Lizhi grabbed Li Yuan's arm and said coquettishly, "If Father Emperor finds out, Grandfather Emperor, you have to protect me."
"He dares?"
Li Yuan, his beard bristling and eyes wide with rage, uttered a curse.
Although he deeply hated Li Shimin, he was exceptionally fond of his grandchildren.
"Lizhi, you've come at the perfect time."
Li Yuan brought over a fruit platter: "These are grapes from the Western Regions, please have a taste."
Li Lizhi happily accepted it.
He picked one but didn't eat it himself; instead, he handed it to Li Yuan, saying, "Grandfather, you eat first."
"Okay, okay..."
Li Yuan laughed so hard his beard stood on end.
He was usually visited by eunuchs and palace maids, so it was rare for a younger person to come and talk to him.
After chatting about everyday matters for a while, Li Lizhi changed the subject: "Grandfather, actually, Wei Shuyu and the others came to see you about something."
Wei Shuyu?
Li Yuan said he had never heard of it.
"Your subject Wei Shuyu greets the Emperor Emeritus."
Wei Shuyu stepped forward and bowed to Li Yuan.
minister?
The smile vanished, replaced by endless rage.
Li Yuan slammed his hand on the table with a deafening bang, the sound echoing throughout the Da'an Palace as if it would lift the roof off...
"How did that beast become emperor? He made a little brat an official!"
