Chapter 464: Fenghuaxueyue Tower
At the same time, because Zhao Yarou is less than 20 years old now, many people regard Zhao Yarou as their ultimate partner and think about how great it would be if they could marry Zhao Yarou.
Among the nobles, those who were old enough and unmarried all had this idea, trying every means to get close to Zhao Yarou and win her favor.
However, this hope seemed very slim. Several ungrateful suitors had been executed by Zhao Yarou, and at that time, Zhao Yarou had also warned everyone not to pay attention to her, otherwise they would end up like these people.
However, there were people who didn't believe it and thought they could do it, and as a result, not just one but several people were executed by Zhao Yarou. Now, everyone understands that they should not try to get close to Zhao Yarou, at least not so obviously, otherwise the end will be death.
"Is she going to promote my title, or give me a territory, or is she starting to take an interest in me..."
Li Yan was in high spirits on the way here. He was looking forward to how Zhao Yarou would reward him. His mind was full of thoughts about the reward. He even thought about Zhao Yarou looking at him differently and then starting to have a good impression of him.
However, these were all his wishful thinking. No one could know what the real situation was. No one could tell from Zhao Yarou's expression whether she was happy or angry.
While summoning Li Yan, Li Tianjun also asked Zhao Yarou what the matter was, but Zhao Yarou just said calmly that she would talk about it after someone arrived.
The flat tone did not yield any results for someone like Li Tianjun, who had a strong ability to judge people's expressions. Zhao Yarou's thoughts were difficult to guess. Almost no one on this continent could feel what she was thinking, whether she was happy or sad, or angry. None of these could be seen.
Even when she laughs, no one can be sure. Fortunately, she doesn't laugh much, so there are not many opportunities for people to predict.
I hope Li Yan didn't blame her...
Because the consequences of offending her are too terrible.
"Greetings to the Emperor!" Li Yan came with great longing and took the initiative to bow.
"Are you Li Yan from the Li family, the eldest son of Li Tianjun?" Zhao Yarou looked at Li Yan and asked lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Yan replied.
"Did you reopen Fenghuaxueyue Tower?" Zhao Yarou was still as calm as ever, looking at a document in her hand while asking questions.
"This... yes." Although Li Yan didn't understand why Zhao Yarou asked this question, he still answered truthfully.
Since Zhao Yarou asked this question, it implies that she must have found out the truth. If she tries to make excuses, it will only bring him a negative impact.
"Since you have agreed to it, it will be easy. Come, take him out and behead him." Zhao Yarou still spoke in the same indifferent tone, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing, rather than executing someone.
"?"
"What?"
After Zhao Yarou spoke, almost everyone was stunned. Although they knew that the Eighth Princess was moody, they never thought that she summoned Li Yan to execute him.
"Why are you beheading me?"
"Your Majesty, please tell me what my son did wrong."
At this time, only Li Yan and his son spoke out, because the others kept aloof. It was not because they were heartless or thought Li Yan deserved to die, but because they were afraid of being implicated.
The Eighth Princess is abnormal and can do anything. Who knows if you will get angry if you advise her?
"Didn't I just say that? Let's move on to the next topic..." Zhao Yarou said coldly without further explanation. This also announced that this matter was difficult and there was little room for turning around.
If Li Tianjun wants to keep Li Yan, he must pay a certain price, and he may not succeed.
At this time, Li Tianjun really didn't understand why Li Yan had offended Zhao Yarou. He didn't believe that Zhao Yarou was like this just because of the Fenghuaxueyue Tower incident. In their eyes, this was nothing. Even if there was a problem, it was not a capital crime. "Your Majesty, please spare my son's life." In order to save Li Yan's life, Li Tianjun could only kneel down and beg for mercy at this time, and put aside the matter of finding out the reason.
"Are you begging for mercy?" Zhao Yarou stopped and asked Li Tianjun.
"Yes," Li Tianjun replied. Is there any need to ask? Who would leave their own children alone?
"If you hand over some of your property to atone for his crimes, I will spare his life," Zhao Yarou said. It was very clear that she wanted the Li family to pay money to redeem his life.
And since Zhao Yarou has spoken, it means that these properties are not simple tools. Otherwise, how could Zhao Yarou, as the queen, be interested in them?
Soon, Zhao Yarou gave Li Tianjun a list, which seemed to have been prepared by her early in the morning, as if it was premeditated. "..." When Li Tianjun saw the list, his face changed, but he nodded in the end.
This list was later known to everyone. It was actually not very difficult to make. The Li family could afford it and they would not have any hesitation.
All the properties on this list were seized from the Ye family by the Li family in recent years. They were originally seized from others, so naturally they would not have any problems.
Li Tianjun changed his expression not because of the loss, but because he felt that Zhao Yarou had planned to take the Ye family's property for herself from the beginning, and did not intend to give it to the Li family.
In this way, Zhao Yarou got it legitimately, while Li himself would still be charged with the crime of embezzling other people's wealth. The people of the Ye family would not blame Zhao Yarou, but only the Li family. If Zhao Yarou returned some property to the Ye family later, the Ye family would be very grateful to her.
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yarou didn't have to pay anything, but she was the one who benefited the most. Moreover, she could also watch the two major families fight each other and gain even greater benefits from it.
This queen is indeed a very scary person. Don't offend her, otherwise you will be plotted against without knowing it. Although Zhao Yarou did not take the Li family's original property, the Li family will not feel lucky. They will think that Zhao Yarou may plot against them at any time as long as they do something to make her dissatisfied.
At the same time, they felt that this warning was also an affirmation. At least she did not take the Li family's property, which meant that the Li family was doing a good job as long as they did not do anything excessive.
The most depressed person now is Li Yan. He didn't expect that he would become an excuse for Zhao Yarou to take away so many tools. He was a little dissatisfied. If Li Tianjun had paid more attention at this time, he might have stopped Li Yan's ignorant behavior and prevented him from having such a bumpy future.
