Upon hearing this, Li Shimin thought to himself, "He's fickle, he values material possessions over sentiment, and he has no feelings for the people he's been with or the things he's used..."
Is this the reason he wiped out my entire family?
In fact, Li Zhi simply had weak family ties.
Not to mention the brothers and sisters Li Shimin bore for him, even his own daughters were imprisoned in the Yeting Palace until they were over thirty years old, when they were rescued by Crown Prince Li Hong and were finally able to leave the palace to marry.
Even his children with Wu Zetian weren't particularly important to him. Aside from paying more attention to Li Hong, he viewed his other children merely as a continuation of their genes.
Indifference and callousness are a true reflection of Li Zhi's character.
After questioning the palace maids and eunuchs who had served Zhinu, Li Shimin had a general idea of what was going on. However, he still wanted to ask one last person, Sizi, who had been with Zhinu day and night since childhood.
"Ananda, where did the rhinoceros go?"
"Your Majesty, today is the day Qujiang Pool reopens. Princess Jinyang must be there watching the festivities!"
Li Shimin looked at the sky and saw that it was almost noon, so he asked curiously.
"It's just an opening ceremony, and it's still not over by noon?"
"Your Majesty, it is said that many programs have been prepared for this ceremony, including various acrobatic performances and dancing girls from Pingkangfang performing on boats!"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. He loved watching dancers perform, so he decided to go and join in the fun!
"Prepare the carriage... no, no, no, let's leave the palace incognito. If we really leave the palace incognito, the Prince and the eldest grandson will hate me to death, hahaha!"
"promise!"
As soon as Li Shimin left the palace, he saw an old acquaintance.
"Li Daozong, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Daozong hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty, haven't you heard? Qujiang Pool has reopened! I hear it's bustling with activity there right now. I'd like to go and join the fun!"
Li Shimin chuckled upon hearing this.
"What a coincidence, I was also there to watch the excitement!"
"Since we're going the same way, why don't you just ride in the same carriage as me!"
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
Li Daozong said it wasn't good, but his body language betrayed him; he jumped onto the carriage.
Before long, the two arrived at Qujiang Pool and stood in the crowd, gazing at the scene inside Ziyun Tower.
"Huh!"
"That girl sitting in the very middle looks a bit like my Er Ya!"
Which one?
"It's the one sitting next to Princess Jinyang!"
"etc!"
"Why is Princess Jinyang standing here, and right next to my daughter!"
As Li Daozong finished speaking, his gaze toward Li Shimin was filled with resentment.
"Your Majesty, this is outrageous! You and your daughter can't keep causing trouble for my family!"
"It's one thing for you to use me as a substitute, but why is Princess Jinyang using my daughter as a substitute too? Waaaaah..."
