Chapter 116 Sadness

Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhi's back as he left, holding his right elbow with his left hand and touching his chin with his right hand, wondering in his heart.

Could it be that Zhinu guessed something? Did he already know that Wu Zetian's death was related to me? That shouldn't be possible!

I kept this matter so secret, my father couldn't tell Zhinu about it and ruin the relationship between them. Maybe I'm overthinking it! Maybe

I'm worrying too much! Maybe Zhinu really just has an old illness again!

I hope he is really sick! Instead of guessing something.

If it's the former, it's fine. If it's the latter, this kid is too cunning! He can hide too deeply without revealing any thoughts.

What am I thinking about here? Li Chengqian shook his head and threw away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

"Your Highness!" Wang Fangyi, who was standing behind Li Chengqian, shouted. He saw the prince standing there watching the figure of King Jin leaving, motionless for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Highness! Do you want me to send someone to keep an eye on King Jin?"

"Uh!" Li Chengqian came back to his senses and said without thinking: "No, King Jin and I are close brothers, why should we be so cautious."

Li Zhi has no foundation now, and is no threat to Li Chengqian. There is no need to send someone to keep an eye on him.

As for competing with him for the position of crown prince, that is even more impossible. Li Zhi is not Li Tai, and there is no force supporting him in the court. What's more, their father will not allow the usurpation of the throne to happen again.

As long as Li Chengqian doesn't commit suicide, the throne will definitely be his.

Wang Fangyi was speechless for a while. Wasn't the former King of Wei, Li Tai, also a close brother to you? Didn't you fight to the death?

Wang Fangyi felt it necessary to remind the Crown Prince! In order to avoid repeating the situation of Li Tai and the Crown Prince fighting for the throne.

"Your Highness! Don't forget that the King of Wei is also a close brother to you!" Wang Fangyi said.

Li Chengqian frowned. How could he not understand what Wang Fangyi meant? If he were a suspicious person, he would have been on guard against Li Zhi.

Even if he was not a threat, such a threat must be nipped in the bud.

However, Li Chengqian would not do this. In addition to the fact that he felt it was unnecessary, more importantly, he had a good relationship with Li Zhi!

This was due to the fact that Li Zhi was smart since he was young, dignified and steady, generous and kind, and harmonious with his brothers.

Li Zhi got along well with all his brothers, especially with Li Chengqian, Li Tai and other children born to the eldest grandson of Empress Wen.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Prince Jin Li Zhi is different from commoner Li Tai. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back!"

Li Chengqian said and turned back to the temporary palace where he lived in Luoyang.

"Eunuch Wang, I'll just let it go and do nothing. What if the Prince Jin really becomes the second Li Tai one day!" Wang Fangyi said while pulling Wang Quan.

"Ouch!" Wang Quan was startled. He was just a eunuch chief beside the prince. How could he have the right to say anything about such a big matter?

"I am just a servant serving the prince. It is not my place to interfere in these matters. I still have to serve the prince. Bye!"

Wang Quan ran away and caught up with Li Chengqian in front of him.

Since the prince did not think so, why should Wang Fangyi bother about it?

Li Chengqian was bored when he returned to his residence. Life in ancient times was rather boring, and there were no extra entertainment programs.

What should I do? Li Chengqian put his hands on the table, holding his chin with his palms, thinking.

There is no Internet here, so he cannot go online. Otherwise, Li Chengqian would definitely go online to check Weibo, use WeChat and post a circle of friends.

In ancient times, the upper class could only ride horses to hunt, or read books, or watch some live musicals.

Hunting, given Li Chengqian's physical condition, it would be exhausting to even mount a horse, and he was not interested in hunting. As

for reading and writing, Li Chengqian was not that kind of person, and he really couldn't concentrate on it.

He called a group of court musicians and maids to play a song, and then a classical dance, and Li Chengqian would exclude him.

"Wang Quan!" Li Chengqian, who really didn't know what to do, shouted to Wang Quan beside him.

"My lord, what do you want?" Wang Quan said.

"Prince Jin has been unwell recently, you go and ask someone to send some supplements to Prince Jin to nourish him well." Li Chengqian said.

As the eldest brother, he should take good care of his younger brother, and also increase his favorability in front of Li Er and the ministers.

"I'll go now." Wang Quan said, and was about to leave.

"Wang Quan!" Li Chengqian said earnestly, "I'm good to Zhinu! You must let my father and the ministers know, but don't deliberately publicize it, you understand."

Such things must be known to Li Er and the ministers. If they don't know, how can they win their favor.

"I understand!" Wang Quan said.

"That's good! Go!" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

On the other side, Li Zhi returned to the palace where he lived, which was closest to Li Er's bedroom in the Luoyang Palace.

"Your Highness Prince Jin!" A group of eunuchs and palace maids saluted Li Zhi.

"You all leave! I want to be alone for a while!" Li Zhi waved his hand to let the left and right retreat.

"Yes!" The eunuchs and palace maids retreated.

"Sister!" Li Zhi sat alone in the empty palace, muttering softly, with a somewhat sad expression.

Li Zhi usually did not dare to show it in front of others, especially in front of Li Er, he was even more afraid to show it, for he was afraid that Li Er would be sad about it, and he would be sad only when he was alone.

Li Zhi had feelings for Wu Zetian. After all, they had been together for such a long time, and everyone would have feelings.

It was just that Li Zhi had a different feeling for Wu Zetian, a young woman, and the relationship between them went beyond that of an ordinary stepmother and stepson.

With just one last step, they would cross the line, experience the wonderful feeling of the forbidden fruit, break through the shackles of human ethics, and indulge in the happiness of love between the two sexes.

Everything was ruined because of a rumor. If it weren't for this rumor, his sister Wu wouldn't have been given poisoned wine by his father.

Without this rumor, his sister Wu wouldn't have died. It was this rumor that separated them forever.

He hated it so much!

He hated those who spread rumors, because of their actions, the good woman in his heart died so young.

He wanted to tear these hateful people into pieces, but it was a pity that he was weak and could not even defeat Li Er, the supreme ruler of Yiganguo. What could he do?

He hated himself even more. He hated that he was weak and could only watch his beloved woman being killed, but he was powerless.

He could not do anything. He could only feel sorry for her, be sad, and pray for her happiness in the next life.

He did not hate Li Er, because Li Er meant more to him than Wu Zetian. Even if Li Er killed Wu Zetian, he would have no complaints.

He would not build any grave for her because she would always live in his heart.
