"Prince Changshan's appearance has changed a lot... That's why our people didn't recognize him, let alone notice that the prince had come to the capital..."
Liu Dehai explained that after all, it was a big deal for the princes to come to the capital without being summoned.
"Forget it." The emperor waved his hand. "An Di is not one of those people with ulterior motives. He must have something to ask me."
If it were any other vassal king, the emperor would certainly punish him, but to the emperor, Li Jinan was different from his other brothers.
Although he proposed to marry the girl from the Cui family, the emperor was a little angry with him.
"We went out and she slept."
The emperor walked lightly, and Liu Dehai crouched even more, not even daring to breathe heavily.
The woman in the inner palace is His Majesty's darling, and now she is pregnant, which makes her even more precious.
Even though the inner palace is some distance away from here, His Majesty is afraid of disturbing her, which shows how much she cherishes him.
Liu Dehai now respects Xu Lingyi several times more than he respects the queen.
"Yiyi, Li Jinan is coming to the capital, and the Concubine Dowager will be here soon!"
The system hasn't monitored Li Jinan for a long time and it doesn't like him.
"Yeah." Xu Lingyi nodded. This was something she had expected a long time ago.
"That old woman came here for her son. Li Jin'an was mad and wanted to kill Cui Yu to avenge you. Cui Yu fled back to the capital under the protection of the Cui family. The concubine was afraid that something might happen to Li Jin'an, so she chased him all the way. The old woman even broke her leg."
The system gloats.
Xu Lingyi nodded: "It's better that they all came. If they didn't come, how would they know that I am not dead and have become the emperor's woman."
"If that old woman knew you were pregnant again, she would probably die of anger..."
………
"Your Majesty."
The emperor was a little stunned when he saw Li Jinan, "Brother An?"
If the voice had not changed, the emperor would almost not have recognized the person kneeling below.
Liu Dehai said that his appearance had changed, and now I see that he has changed so much.
"Why have you become like this? You are my brother, a prince of the Li Dynasty... How can you be so unkempt?"
It's not just unkempt, to be more serious, he's no different from a beggar wandering the streets.
No one has ever met the emperor in this way.
Li Jinan knelt below, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Royal brother..."
His voice was extremely hoarse, and seemed to reveal endless sorrow and sadness, completely different from the high-spirited young man he used to be.
The emperor realized that he was not in the right state. "What happened to you? If you call me your brother, I will be your brother forever."
"Besides, I personally took care of you when you were young. If there's anything between you and me, just tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely do it."
Li Jinan then raised his head, and the emperor saw his face.
His beard was very long and looked like it had not been trimmed in several months.
This made him seem much older, and his face was so thin that he looked like a different person.
The emperor's heart was slightly touched when he met his red and tearful black eyes.
Li Jinan is clearly in his prime, but he seems to have no will to live. The despair and vicissitudes in his eyes are like those of an old man.
The emperor couldn't help but step forward and personally help Li Jinan up.
"Brother An, I still remember the last time you came to the capital, all the women there said you were handsome. Why have you become like this now? What happened?"
Li Jinan pursed his lips tightly, tears streaming down his face. He knelt on the ground, sobbing, his hands tightly grasping the emperor's sleeves.
"Royal brother, I want to kill that bitch Cui. Please help me."
The moment he learned that Xu Lingyi and her unborn baby were dead, Li Jinan refused to believe it no matter what he said.
Even though everyone said that Xu Lingyi was dead, even though the facts were right in front of him, he just couldn't accept it.
He cried so hard that he fainted for three days.
When I woke up three days later, I had no will to live, refused to eat or drink, and was like a living dead.
His appearance frightened the concubine and made her tears run dry.
Just as the concubine was trying to find a way to inspire Li Jinan's will to survive, he saw Cui Yu.
The moment he saw Cui Yu, he got up like a madman and wanted to kill her.
The hatred and madness in his eyes frightened Cui Yu and the concubine, and Cui Yu almost died at the hands of Li Jinan.
Cui Yu was so frightened that he crawled away from the palace in the middle of the night.
If it weren't for Li Jinan's emotional ups and downs and his weak body after just waking up, Cui Yu might have really died.
"What happened?" the emperor asked. "What did Cui Yu do?"
Li Jinan was furious. He clenched his fists, gnashed his teeth, and said with endless hatred: "Cui Yu and my mother set fire to and killed my wife and children!!"
"Royal brother! She is pregnant with my child..."
Li Jinan's eyes were full of tears. He was a tall man, but he couldn't stop crying.
"My child was going to be born in a few months. I was going to have a wife and children, and spend the rest of my life with her... but that bitch ruined everything."
"My brother's child hasn't been born yet. I don't even know what he looks like, whether he's a boy or a girl, and I haven't even seen him grow up..."
Thinking of this, Li Jinan was filled with hatred, his body trembling continuously, his eyes full of bloodshot:
"Brother, please do me a favor and tell me to kill that bitch! If I don't kill her, my life will be meaningless and I will die with regrets."
"After killing her and my mother, I will die as a token of my guilt and will never live in vain."
The emperor sighed in his heart. If it were in the past, he might not understand why Li Jinan became like this for a woman.
But now when he thought of Xu Lingyi, the emperor could completely understand.
