"My dear concubine, haven't you heard anything recently?"
Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, what have you heard again?"
Emperor Huai'an said dumbfounded: "This kid seems to like running recently. He has to take time to go for a run every day."
"Do you think he is a masochist? The more you abuse him, the happier he is."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xi suddenly shuddered and shook her head: "Your Majesty, this is unlikely. When we punished him before, he ran past us. I saw that he was in quite a lot of pain."
Emperor Huai'an shook his head: "No, this kid is very good at pretending. Maybe he really enjoys it and pretends to be in pain on purpose."
"This way, we won't think of other ways to punish him."
Hearing this, Concubine Xi clenched her pink fists immediately: "Okay, this boy is really noble, I must find a way to take care of him."
Emperor Huai'an quickly waved his hand and said: "At least these days, don't think about dealing with him. Otherwise, if you don't come up with new ways, dealing with him will become a reward for him."
Emperor Huai'an murmured in his heart that it would be better not to let Concubine Xi interfere with the matter between him and Li Baiyi.
After all, it's just a fight between them in the court, and that's fair and square. Whoever wins or loses doesn't depend on anyone.
But if he really uses small means to deal with Li Baiyi in private, it would be a bit too embarrassing and a bit like being a swindler.
Even if Li Baiyi is punished by then, what he said is that he can't afford to lose by being a shameless person. By then, he will really not want the face of the emperor.
Concubine Xi hesitated and said with some worry: "Your Majesty, this kid is too arrogant now. Should we give him some color? Otherwise, it will be fine in the long run."
"Let's just indulge him in private. If others mistakenly think that our royal family is afraid of his Li family, it's really hard to say what serious consequences it will have."
When Emperor Huai'an heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, my beloved. Even if we don't deal with this kid, someone will definitely deal with it."
When Concubine Xi heard this, she couldn't help being shocked and said: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the ministers in the court, or the people of Beiyuan, or Fengmanlou?"
Emperor Huai'an snorted softly and said: "No matter who they are, they will make this kid Li Baiyi remember for a long time. What's more, he was ambushed this time and was almost killed by Feng Manlou's people. He must have some thoughts in his heart. Counted."
"By the way, I am very dissatisfied with what this boy did on the South City Gate Tower this time. If you mark him down for me, I will have to settle accounts with him in the future."
Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, you are planning to write a black account for this kid."
Emperor Huai'an snorted coldly: "Otherwise, how could I still remember these trivial matters all day long?"
Concubine Xi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, how about I also record your account?"
When Emperor Huai'an heard this, he couldn't help but darken his face and said: "Remember my account, when did I have a black account?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Xi's eyes turned sharp as she looked at Emperor Huai'an. Emperor Huai'an seemed to have thought of something and quickly turned around and coughed lightly.
"Well, this guy Li Baiyi did a lot of wrong things this time. I'm almost mad at him."
"I'm going to be in a hurry because of him. How do you think I should punish him?"
Concubine Xi snorted lightly and did not dwell on what had happened just now with Emperor Huai'an. She said: "How does your Majesty want to punish him? If he really suffers any substantial harm, I am afraid it will not be in line with His Majesty's original intention. But if you don't deal with him, Your Majesty will certainly not be able to overcome this hurdle."
"By the way, Your Majesty, how about this? You have always wanted Li Baiyi to be your son-in-law. The relationship between him and Ronghua is somewhat distant."
"If His Majesty doesn't give us a push, I'm afraid it won't be possible to continue. Both of them seem to be a bit stronger."
Emperor Huai'an thought about it and couldn't help but hesitate: "But, if I force them to get married, will it have the opposite effect?"
"I'm really worried. If this guy Li Baiyi gets out of my way, I won't be able to please both sides."
Concubine Xi thought for a while and said: "Should we discuss this matter with Ronghua first? After all, this is a matter that concerns Ronghua's life. We must not make a decision so easily. What do you think?"
Emperor Huai'an hesitated for a moment, but finally his eyes were firm: "So what, my daughter must have the spirit to sacrifice herself at such a critical time."
"By the way, I also found out something this time."
Having said this, Emperor Huai'an's face became solemn.
...
After Li Baiyi and Tianzhen left, Su Yourong went to the next room and walked in. At this time, a woman with a slightly better appearance and figure than Su Yourong was sitting quietly in the room, drinking tea quietly.
Seeing Su Yourong walking in, the woman nodded: "That guy is gone."
Su Yourong nodded and said, "Miss, he's gone. Do you know who I saw just now?"
The woman shook her head and said, "The voice sounds familiar. Who is it?"
Su Yourong looked solemn and said, "Miss, it's Li Haonan who killed everyone in our Zhao family back then."
When the woman heard this, her expression changed drastically and she said, "It's him. He dares to appear here. I really want to die."
"Why didn't you kill him just now to avenge our Zhao family? With your ability, you must be able to succeed."
Su Yourong nodded and said, "Miss, I really wanted to take action just now, but I hesitated at the last moment."
"This Li Haonan brought a lot of people, and some of them were outside without calling in. But if a fight really breaks out, those people will definitely rush in to help him. The situation is not optimistic."
The woman snorted coldly: "This guy is getting an advantage. By the way, what about Li Baiyi? What are he discussing with that guy here? He is now the magistrate of the county town. What can he have to talk with such a person?"
Su Yourong shook his head and said, "Miss, this Li Baiyi is not on the same page as him, but they are the same species, and neither of them is a good person."
When the woman heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me, how can you be the same person?"
"Li Baiyi can defeat the Yuan envoys in a literary fight. Even if Prime Minister Guo is here, I'm afraid he won't have the means."
"Those beautiful lines composed by Li Baiyi will be passed down through the ages."
