"Meet the Grand Prince!"
"Eunuch Qian, please get up quickly."
Eunuch Qian stood up, his face already full of smiles, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. This time, I came here on the orders of the Emperor to give you a reward.
The Emperor has a few more words for me to convey to the eldest prince."
Li Junheng was about to kneel down, but Eunuch Qian stopped him.
"Prince, the Emperor has given instructions. Just stand there and listen."
Li Junheng responded, but his attitude was still respectful, with his head slightly lowered, listening attentively.
"The Emperor said that the eldest prince has been wronged in this incident. He should not take it to heart. Everything at the moment is just a temporary measure. Just wait quietly for the future."
Although Li Junheng didn't quite understand, he still nodded.
Eunuch Qian did not stay long. He came quietly, and now that his business was done, it was time for him to go back quietly.
After seeing off Eunuch Qian, Li Junheng returned to the study and looked at the prince in confusion.
"Prince, did you and the Emperor ask for this? Or was it something we discussed beforehand?"
The prince shook his head. "Neither. This was given to you by my father. It has nothing to do with me. I just guessed it."
"Why is that?"
Seeing that Li Junheng really didn't understand, the prince sighed helplessly, "Why else could it be? Father summoned Li Junyan back to Chang'an, he must have wanted to punish him, but Father was afraid of the goddess and didn't dare to act rashly, so he left Li Junyan there, and he must have been thinking about how to test the goddess.
What you did was hopelessly stupid, even to yourself.
But for Father, it did solve his urgent need and confirmed and answered his curiosity, which is why he received these rewards and the words he just said.
After the prince's explanation, Li Junheng finally understood what was going on.
He stopped pacing and slowly sat down, "Father said to wait for the future, so when do we have to wait?
We have all seen the goddess's methods. They are simply beyond human control. With her protecting Li Junyan at all times, don't we have any way to deal with her?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk about it tomorrow morning.
No matter how powerful the goddess is, she can't kill everyone except Li Junyan, right?
After all these years, don’t you still understand Li Junyan? He prides himself on being upright and would never allow the goddess to kill innocent people.
"What if he's not innocent?"
When Li Junheng said this, the prince's face instantly turned cold, "Then go to hell."
The prince left.
He was furious when he left.
Li Junheng sat in his original position, looking puzzled, "We were just talking for no reason, why did you suddenly get angry?
He hasn't even become emperor yet, but he already has such a bad temper and is so moody.
What if I really become the emperor in the future? "
After talking to himself for a while, Li Junheng realized what he had said and looked around hurriedly.
Seeing that he was still the only one in the study, he felt relieved.
You can't let anyone else hear what you just said.
-
It was still dark, but everyone in Chang'an who was qualified to attend court had already set out for the palace.
Li Junyan also put on court robes and prepared to go out.
Thunder Beast looked at Li Junyan with a worried look on his face, "Your Highness, going to court today will definitely be extremely dangerous. Lin Qi and the others can't go with you, so let me go with you!"
Li Junyan looked at Lei Beast helplessly and amusedly, "If they can't go, does that mean you can go?"
Although Lei Shou is a general, he is only fourth rank.
The Great Zhou Dynasty valued civil officials over military officials, and there were very few military generals who could attend court. Lei Shou was young and his official position was not high, so he was not qualified to attend court.
Lei Shou was stunned by the question, and then he realized that he was not qualified to attend the court.
"What should we do?" Thunder Beast became anxious. "Your Highness, if you go alone, what if something happens and there's no one around?"
Li Junyan patted Leishou's shoulder and said, "If something really happens, whether you are there or not will not change the outcome, so it's okay if you don't go."
This sounded like comfort, but something didn't seem right.
What exactly is wrong?
Before Lei Beast could figure it out, Li Junyan had already walked out.
Although Lei Shou and Lin Qi were not allowed to enter the palace, they still followed Li Junyan to the palace gate and watched him walk into the palace.
Only when he could no longer see Li Junyan's back did Lei Shou look away worriedly.
Turning around, he saw that Lin Qimi and An Hang were not worried at all. Lei Shou felt strange and asked, "Why aren't you worried?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, good fortune will come to you. Besides, there's also the goddess!"
Thunder Beast's expression suddenly turned serious. "Lin Qi, it's not right for you to be so idle."
"What?" Lin Qi looked at the Thunder Beast in surprise, not quite understanding what the Thunder Beast meant.
“It is our responsibility to protect the prince. The goddess has done enough, both for the prince and for the people.
Just because the goddess is powerful, we can't take it for granted that protecting the prince is what the goddess should do. It's wrong to think so!"
Lin Qi stared at the thunder beast in a daze.
It was still dark, and there were lanterns hanging on the carriage, but the light was not very sufficient.
The thunder beast's face was half in the light and half hidden in the darkness, flickering and a little difficult to see clearly.
But no matter how unclear the facial features are, the eyes are always bright.
