Prince Zhongwu’s Mansion.
backyard.
The eldest grandson Nanqiao looked at his nephew in front of him and said seriously, "Have you decided?"
"Decided."
Changsun Fengyu nodded without hesitation.
"You have to think carefully."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao reminded with a serious look, "We are royal relatives. Now, even if we do nothing, when Bai'er succeeds to the throne, the eldest grandson's family will surely be filled with glory."
"Does Auntie think that our Majesty will really give up his throne?"
The eldest grandson Fengyu said in a deep voice, "In other words, how many years will it take to wait, ten, twenty, or thirty or forty years?"
After hearing this, the eldest grandson Nanqiao fell silent, not knowing how to answer.
"It is because we are royal relatives that we know more about our Majesty."
The eldest grandson Fengyu said with a complex expression, "His persistence in imperial power is almost crazy. The eldest prince and the third prince died under his so-called checks and balances. I don't think that our eldest grandson family will have the last laugh." , The most important thing that Dashang lacks is a prince. As long as he is willing, it is not difficult to train a prince who has the ability to seize the legitimate son. It can even reproduce the situation of the four kings seizing the legitimate son a few years ago."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao heard the words of his nephew in front of him, a chill flashed in his eyes, and said, "What you said does make sense."
"Auntie, in the past few years, we have been fighting between the royal family and the Li family. Now, we must change."
The eldest grandson Fengyu said solemnly, "You also know about Murong's matter. In order to stabilize the imperial power, our Majesty can sacrifice anyone. On the contrary, the Li family has been helping us behind the scenes. Think about it, if there is no Li family , who will be sitting in the position of supervising the country now, the eldest prince or the third prince?"
"I got you."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao nodded and responded, "You are the eldest son of Prince Zhongwu's palace. You make the decision about the future of the eldest grandson's lineage. As long as you make up your mind, my aunt will fully support you."
"Thank you, aunt."
The eldest grandson Fengyu narrowed his eyes and said, "I know my aunt's concerns, so I will not easily gamble with the future of the eldest grandson's lineage. I want to see him first before making a formal decision."
The Li family is indeed more trustworthy than the one in Shou'an Palace, but the premise is that the Li family has his presence.
Before confirming this, the Changsun lineage cannot easily take a position.
Half a day later.
In front of Prince Zhongwu's palace, a carriage stopped. Xiao Si pushed his young master out of the carriage and entered the palace openly.
Not long after, under the leadership of the palace guards, the two came to the front hall.
In the hall, the eldest grandson Nanqiao and eldest grandson Fengyu were already waiting.
"Your Majesty."
Li Ziye looked at the two people inside, put his right hand flat on his chest, and saluted politely.
"Brother Li, there is no need to be polite."
The eldest grandson Fengyu stepped forward quickly, helped the person in front of him, and said softly, "We met in a hurry the day before yesterday and didn't have time to talk in depth, so today I invite Brother Li to come over and express my thanks in person."
"Seeing the prince recover from his injuries is enough."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the prince and I have known each other for almost five years, and there are several more five years in a person's life."
"Brother Li's body?"
Changsun Fengyu asked worriedly, "Have you found a cure?"
"There's a clue."
Li Ziye responded truthfully, "Thanks to the help of the Confucian sect leaders."
While the two were talking, they came to the tea table. Xiaosi helped his young master sit down at the tea table, and then stood by quietly.
"Sister Nanqiao."
After sitting down, Li Ziye looked at the woman across the tea table and praised, "In more than four years, my sister has not changed at all. She is as young as she was then, but I am old."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Grandson Nanqiao's heart trembled slightly. He poured three cups of tea with his own hands, pushed one of them over, and scolded, "You are still so young. As long as you find a cure, you will definitely be able to recover."
Li Ziye smiled but did not respond.
"Brother Li."
Opposite, the eldest son Fengyu looked at the white-haired young man in front of him and said seriously, "This time, my divine treasure can be repaired, thanks to Brother Li. However, personal relationships are personal relationships, and business affairs between the eldest sun family and the Li family still have to be done. , don’t be emotional.”
"After experiencing the previous catastrophe, the prince has grown up a lot."
Li Ziye didn't feel chilled after hearing the former's words. Instead, he felt relieved. An immature prince of Prince Zhongwu could not bear the heavy responsibility of Prince Zhongwu's palace.
What he wants is not a motivated friend, but an ally who is qualified to cooperate with him.
The current Crown Prince Zhongwu is obviously more mature than before.
"People have to grow."
The eldest grandson Fengyu picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "I have no doubt about the abilities of Brother Li and the Li family. However, I want to make sure of one thing before we formally discuss cooperation."
Having said this, Changsun Fengyu looked at the person in front of him and said seriously, "Brother Li, how long can you live?"
"Although your cultivation is useless, you can enjoy the life span of an ordinary person."
Li Ziye replied firmly, "It's just that if we can't find a cure, we will never be able to stand up again."
At the table, the eldest grandson Nanqiao heard this, turned the tea cup in his hand, and said softly, "Mr. Li, it's hard for people to believe that you still have a human lifespan in your state."
"Sister, you can check it yourself."
Li Ziye stretched out his arms and said calmly, "My body has been sealed by the High Priest of the Baiyue Clan. The heartbeat and the consumption of body functions are far lower than ordinary people. Not to mention that I can live a hundred years, just two or three years." Ten years from now, it should still be fine.”
After hearing the words of the white-haired young man in front of him, the eldest grandson Nanqiao didn't show any pretense and stretched out his hand to press on his arm.
Gradually, the face of eldest grandson Nanqiao became more and more solemn. He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, feeling shocked in his heart.
No pulse?
"The Baiyue Clan's technique of feigning death."
Li Ziye explained with a smile, "This is a secret technique unique to the Baiyue Clan. Except for my right hand, my entire body cannot move. My heartbeat is also very slow, so it is difficult to detect the pulse."
After hearing the former's explanation, eldest grandson Fengyu and eldest grandson Nanqiao looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Unheard of.
"Brother Li."
After a brief shock, Changsun Fengyu came to his senses and asked, "Do you have any solution to Murong's matter?"
"No."
Li Ziye suppressed his smile and said calmly, "Because I can't resist the order, but."
After saying that, Li Ziye picked up the tea cup in front of him and said calmly, "I have been thinking, if the person sitting in that position was His Highness the Fourth, would he not have these troubles?"
"Brother Li, there are some things you can't say."
The eldest grandson, Fengyu, narrowed his eyes slightly and responded with a hint of meaning in his words, "It's not easy to have a name that's unjust and unjust. This matter is not easy."
"If I say that I have a way, will the prince believe it?" Li Ziye took a sip of tea and said.
"I would like to hear the details." Changsun Fengyu responded.
"Your Majesty, there's only so much we can talk about in personal relationships." Li Ziye reminded with a smile.
The eldest grandson Fengyu reacted, took out a wooden box from under the table and handed it over, saying, "We have cooperated so many times, and I will not mince words. My eldest grandson wants His Highness to take that position as soon as possible."
Li Ziye opened the wooden box, looked at the contents inside, closed it with his hand, and said, "Xiaosi, give the things to the prince."
"yes!"
On the side, Xiaosi also handed over a wooden box and said seriously, "Your Majesty."
Changsun Fengyu took the wooden box and reached out to open it.
But in the wooden box, there was a black mask lying there. The material could not be seen, but it was obvious that it was something extraordinary.
"In this capital, the Crown Prince is the last person to receive this mask."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "He is also the person I have been waiting for. Now, everything is ready to officially start!"
