Li Jue, who was lying on the ground crying loudly, didn't know whether to praise or scold Yuchi Fan, the sixth brother, after hearing his words.
Why didn't this guy step in and try to stop the fight so he could avoid getting hit?
What frustrated Li Jue even more was that he had acted as a good boy for more than ten days, afraid of angering Li Er, this devil, but in the end he still couldn't escape this calamity!
The imperial physician lifted Li Jue's clothes and his pupils constricted when he saw the whip marks on his back, thighs, and buttocks.
"Your Majesty, you hit him too hard!"
"The eldest grandson will probably be bedridden for at least ten days to half a month..."
Li Shimin replied nonchalantly upon hearing this.
"It's alright, that kid's a real troublemaker, he'll be back to his old self in a few days!"
Seeing Li Jue lying on the ground sobbing, Li Shimin not only felt no pity, but instead kicked Li Jue with his smelly foot.
"By the way, why have you picked up this Uyghur habit of standing on horseback?"
"Has Your Majesty forgotten that your eldest grandson once spent several months in the Turkic Khaganate..."
"Oh, that's not surprising. It must be a bad habit they learned from the Turks!"
The commotion quickly attracted a group of concubines from the neighboring courtyard. Consort Wei, Consort Wu, Xu Hui, and others stepped forward to pay their respects.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"
Of all the concubines, only Xu Hui had seen Li Jue before, so when she saw Li Jue lying on the ground, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Your Majesty, isn't this the eldest grandson? Why have you punished him again?"
"Um!"
"This brat won't behave unless he's beaten!"
"By the way, what are you guys doing around here?"
"Your Majesty, we're playing a riddle game nearby..."
Li Shimin immediately became interested in the riddle.
"What riddle? Let me try it too!"
Xu Hui blushed immediately upon hearing this.
"It's nothing, just some things for a young lady to use..."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin didn't ask any further questions, but instead squatted down to examine his grandson's wounds. When he saw that his grandson's back was covered in wounds, his face twitched, and he cursed himself for being too heavy-handed.
But just thinking about his grandson's behavior just now, he felt a surge of anger.
If this grandson breaks his leg, the Li family's hopes will be gone!
"Imperial Physician, is this injury nothing serious?"
"Your Majesty, there is certainly nothing serious, but the eldest grandson will have to suffer for a few days..."
"Oh, oh, oh, it's good for him to suffer a little..."
Just then, the eunuch in charge of managing the stables stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the Lion Steed has been sunbathing for a while now. Would you like to tame it now?"
"tame?"
Li Shimin shook his head upon hearing this.
"Let's do it another day!"
"I'll spare this beast's life for now!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang's eyes sparkled, and she stepped forward with a smile.
"Does Your Majesty wish to tame the lion-like horse?"
"Yes!"
"My mood has been ruined by this unfilial grandson, so I'll have to teach him another day!"
"If Your Majesty trusts me, may I have the lion-like horse? I guarantee I will tame it!"
"you?"
Li Shimin was surprised to hear this, but little did he know that Li Jue, who was lying on the ground, was even more surprised than he was.
Imperial concubines training horses...
Li Jue searched through his brain cells and only found one person: Wu Meiniang, who was in cahoots with Li Zhi!
Could this woman be Wu Zetian?
"Consort Wu, you can actually train horses?"
When Li Jue heard Li Shimin address her as Consort Wu, he immediately perked up and even stopped feeling the pain from his wounds.
"Eldest grandson, the medicine has been administered. Are you returning to the palace now?"
"No, no, wait a minute. I don't want to leave yet. I have to witness this historic moment!"
Li Jue struggled to get up from the ground, then stood aside and looked at the woman who was talking to Li Shimin.
Is this Wu Zetian?
She is indeed quite pretty, but she is a bit too thin and lacks the fullness of a mature woman.
However, this cannot be blamed on her, since she did not have any children during Li Shimin's lifetime, so she could not become plump even if she wanted to.
"Wu Meiniang, what do you need to tame the horse?"
"Your Majesty, all I need to tame a horse is a whip, a hammer, and a dagger!"
What do you need these for?
"Your Majesty, if the wild horse is unruly, whip it with a horsewhip. If it is still unruly after being whipped, strike its head with an iron hammer. If it is still unruly, slit its throat with a dagger..."
"ah?"
Li Shimin was so surprised by these words that his precious horse, the Lion Steed, was worth a fortune and this girl actually wanted to kill it!
Li Shimin was already very dissatisfied, but before he could speak, Li Jue suddenly said something.
"Grandpa, this Wu Cairen is no ordinary person. She actually came up with such a bloody method of taming horses. She is clearly a ruthless person!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin glanced at Li Jue in surprise, then smiled and looked at Wu Meiniang, whose expression had slightly changed.
"Wu Zetian, do you know how difficult it was to raise a lion-like horse?"
When Wu Zetian heard Li Jue call her "ruthless," her heart leaped into her throat. But when she heard the Emperor jokingly teasing her, she realized she had made the right bet.
After all, His Majesty is capable of killing his own brothers, how could he be as merciful as that grandson Li Jue?
"Your Majesty, I believe that anything that cannot be used by Your Majesty is useless, no matter how precious it may be. Therefore, rather than keeping it and angering Your Majesty, it is better to kill it!"
"this……"
Li Shimin laughed heartily upon hearing this.
