Li Shimin looked ugly.
This is a fight with him to the end!
"you sure?"
Li Er asked again.
"Sure." Xu Fenglei was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Are you sure?!" Li Shimin's voice rose a few degrees.
However, this was of no use. The answer I received was still yes!
"Okay, okay...ok!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and said,
"Since you have the intention of retiring and recuperating, if I don't agree, it will appear that I am unwilling to let you go!"
“It’s not like this huge imperial court can’t function without anyone!”
"I'm sure!"
"snort!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, taking long steps, obviously angry.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Xu Fenglei bowed his hands and looked as usual.
The remaining two people, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, could not stand or sit. They could only shake their heads and sigh, and quickly caught up with Li Shimin.
There were only two people left in the courtyard.
"Sir... do you really want to go back to Moyu Mountain?"
Zi Maid said with a sad face,
"What about the slaves?"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"What's the point? I've been away from home a lot, so you can do whatever you want."
He responded,
"No matter what, I still have my salary. Although it is not much, it is still no problem to maintain the expenses of the house."
Zi Maid pursed her lips.
"That's...different."
Her voice was trembling.
When he raised his head again, his eyes were red.
"In the past, when sir went out, the slaves would have hope. You will be back soon."
"But this time..."
this time.
Once I go, I don’t know when I will return to Chang’an.
"Silly girl... isn't that nice?"
Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"It just so happens that you are the mistress of Xu Mansion, and I will leave it to you to take care of everything."
'Okay... don't think so much, go ahead and pack some luggage for me. '
"It doesn't take much. Just get some dry food, a water bag, and some changes of clothes. I want to travel lightly."
"Go ahead."
"Sir..." Zi Maid's eyes were filled with tears and she wanted to say more.
"Go-" Xu Fenglei's smile turned cold.
"...as you command."
Zi Maid wiped her tears and entered the wing with her head lowered.
Da da.
Xu Fenglei tapped his fingers on the stone table, and there was no longer any smile on his face.
…
Outside Xu Mansion, on the street.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty! Why are you leaving so fast!"
Changsun Wuji hurriedly chased after him, grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve, and said,
"You - hey! Don't be angry!"
Li Shimin's nostrils twitched.
"I can't help but be angry!"
He said angrily,
"Tell me, what's his attitude?"
"Yin and yang are weird, armed with guns and sticks! Everything they say is thorny. How many words have you disgusted me with?"
"The clay figurine is very angry! I'm not his concubine, why should I be angry with him? Ah?"
"Since he wants to get out, let him get out! I won't wait for you anymore! What's wrong with you!"
Changsun Wuji: “@#￥%……&##”
The appearance of His Majesty the Emperor at this moment reminded him of an idiom——
Shrews curse.
cough.
Of course, he could only think about this in his mind. If he said it out loud, he would probably be shot in the head by the furious Li Er!
"But Your Majesty, you are not very polite."
Fang Xuanling said quietly,
"No matter what, this time...it was indeed you who provoked the Grand Master."
"The release of Hou Junji was indeed done in an unethical manner. No wonder the Grand Master acted like this."
Li Shimin; "?"
"You mean, it's my fault?"
He stared at Fang Xuanling and spat,
"Should I humbly apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness? And then promise that I won't do it again in the future?"
"Then what has become of me? Is there such a thing as an emperor?"
"It's better to be a grandson!"
Fang Xuanling curled her lips.
"Then your Majesty, do you think this is okay now?"
He said,
"How will the world evaluate the Grand Master's return to Moyu Mountain? How will future generations discuss it?"
"You also said that the Grand Master is your number one hero, but now, you have forced your number one hero back to Moyu Mountain."
"Would people say... the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked?"
"Would people say...that you are mean and unkind? That you are cold and heartless?"
Li Shimin: "@￥%...&@#￥!!!"
"You wanted to leave on your own! I didn't force him!"
Li Er said angrily,
"If he wants to leave, I have to kneel down and beg him not to leave?!"
Fang Xuanling shrugged.
"You can think this way, the world will not think so, and future generations will not think this way either."
He said again,
"They will definitely think that you are killing the donkey and treating the meritorious officials badly."
"Besides... what you said just now was always threatening. Master Aether's temper will naturally not give in. So in the end, you didn't force him to leave?"
Li Shimin stared at Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling also raised his eyes and looked at Li Shimin.
The two stared at each other, speechless for a while.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Changsun Wuji came out to smooth things over,
"Okay, okay, let's not argue."
"To be fair, I think it's best not to let the Grand Master retire and return to his hometown. He is only thirty. If he returns to his hometown, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"Of course, the object of that joke is not the Grand Master, but your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, you are going to become a holy king through the ages. You can't have any more stains... You have to be perfect! So, even for the sake of fame, you can't do whatever you want!"
Li Shimin: "?"
"What does it mean to have another stain? Tell me?" He looked at Changsun Wuji with an unkind expression.
Changsun Wuji: "..."
"I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." He quickly gave up.
At this time, you can't turn the firepower on yourself!
"snort!"
Li Shimin's expression was uncertain, but in the end, he snorted coldly, waved his hand and said,
"Okay! I've been so tired all my life!"
"For this so-called reputation, I don't know how much grievance I have to suffer! I have been wronged by Wei Zheng, I have been wronged by Xu Fenglei, and I have to be wronged by you!"
"This emperor's role as... is really boring!"
After hearing the emperor's words, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Your Majesty is already looking for a way out.
"Yes, yes, His Majesty is the hardest working person in the world..."
Changsun Wuji only responded and said,
"Then let's... go back?"
"Be more sincere and talk to the Grand Master? If you should compromise, just compromise, okay?"
Li Shimin's face darkened.
"A good horse never turns back, but I want to turn back this way!"
He gritted his teeth and said,
"...Hey! Okay, okay! Go back!"
"I'll apologize to him and sincerely admit my mistake! Okay?"
"I have paid so much for this face and this so-called posthumous reputation! If it weren't for these, I would never have been able to go back!"
"...You understand, right?"
Yes, I'm still being stubborn.
I am not trying to apologize to you, I am just cherishing my own feathers! It’s a last resort!
Hmm...the logic holds true.
"Yes, yes, we understand, we understand."
The two of them looked at each other. How could they be dissident at this moment? They all responded in succession.
The emperor... he cares about face the most!
This face must be given!
"Um……"
When Li Shimin saw this, he looked much better, turned around and said,
"Then, let's go! Go back!"
…
Xu Mansion.
"Sir, here is a change of clothes, and a pair of shoes that I personally received from my slave. I measured them when you were asleep. They should fit your feet."
"Sir, you can eat these dry foods on the road. I won't bring you those mung bean cakes and osmanthus cakes that are worthless. They are easy to spoil."
"Sir, are you in such a hurry... Why don't you leave after a while? At least we have to leave tomorrow. It would be better for the slaves to be more prepared..."
"Yes, wuwuwu..."
Several maids looked at Xu Fenglei, their eyes wet with tears.
"No, let's leave tonight and leave this sad place."
Xu Fenglei put his luggage on his back and said with a smile,
"I am so eager to return home, I don't want to stay any longer!"
"These things are enough. I also have some silver coins with me, which is enough... You guys run this place well. If you are free in the future, you can come to Moyu Mountain to visit."
After that, he left.
There were no carriages accompanying them, and no servants waiting on them.
Just like an ascetic, he left Chang'an on his own feet!
In Xu Fenglei's opinion, this can relax his mind and allow him to calm down and think about many things - which is what he wants to do now.
"Sir, please don't leave, please! Wuwuwu..."
"How will we slaves live our lives now that you are gone? Wuwu..."
"I'm going to beg Your Majesty to let you stay..."
The slaves cried together, and the purple slave girl was extremely sad and walked out crying.
She is a personal maid, so she naturally has the deepest feelings, and she is the one who is most reluctant to let go of Xu Fenglei!
She is also smart and can see that there is a conflict between His Majesty and Sir!
As long as this contradiction is resolved, then sir, there is no need to leave!
"Nonsense! Come back!"
Xu Fenglei said displeasedly,
"You deliberately make me angry, don't you? If you do this kind of thing, don't blame me for being ruthless and kicking you out!"
Zimaid rubbed her tearful eyes and burst into tears.
She walked to the door, not daring to take another step outside, and could only express her sadness by crying.
But the next second, her crying stopped abruptly.
Then, her eyes widened.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Zi Maid said in astonishment,
"You...why are you back?"
She really didn't expect——
His Majesty the Emperor, who just walked away, turned back now!
"What's going on?"
Li Shimin was also a little stunned and said,
"Why are you crying? Something happened to Ming Ming?"
His heart skipped a beat and he quickly walked into the courtyard.
Then, Li Er saw Xu Fenglei who had finished packing, carrying a bag on his back and holding a hiking stick in his hand.
"You...you have to leave now!"
Li Shimin pointed at Xu Fenglei and said anxiously,
"Are you so anxious?!"
"Am I a plague? Avoid me!"
"And what are you looking like? Are you going to beg for food? Your Majesty Xu Guogong...don't you even have a carriage? Not even a horse?!"
This Xu Fenglei... his current appearance is no different from that of a refugee! Too special girl is dead!
If someone recognizes this person while walking on the street, it will definitely trigger public opinion!
The hero in the past has now become a tramp!
If this were known to the world, I don't know how they would criticize him, this 'mean and unkind' and 'ruthless' emperor!
Xu Fenglei shrugged.
"That's not the case, it's just a whim and I want to take a trip on the spur of the moment."
He pointed to the luggage on his body and said,
“Travel lightly, it’s so comfortable.”
"Besides, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I think it's good to walk down to earth."
Li Shimin: "..."
"What a ghost!"
He said angrily,
"Okay, okay, let me go!"
"Stop making trouble, okay?!"
Xu Fenglei was surprised.
"What's the fuss about? I'm not making a fuss."
He wondered,
"Your Majesty, I am quite surprised by your appearance."
"Didn't you leave? Why did you come back now?"
"Did you forget something? Just let someone know if you forgot something. You don't have to go to all the trouble. You have to come back and look for it yourself."
Li Shimin: "￥%......&*#@"
"No, you will die if you don't act weird, right?"
Li Er said unhappily,
"I didn't forget to bring something, I came back specifically to find you!"
"I'm here to apologize to you! I'm here to apologize for my inappropriate behavior!"
"Are you satisfied now? Are you comfortable? Are you happy?"
All the slaves: "???"
Your Majesty...what's going on? !
Judging from the meaning behind these words, he is here to admit his mistake to his husband?
ah? Did the emperor ever admit his mistakes? real or fake?
When they were confused, Changsun Wuji quickly gave them a wink and asked them to leave.
The fewer people see this scene, the better!
After all, it was His Majesty who lowered his face and apologized in a low voice!
"Ah? Apologize? Why?"
Xu Fenglei said in surprise,
"Your Majesty, what did you do wrong? You are right. Where did you go wrong?"
Li Shimin: "..."
He clenched his fist again!
This kid is so annoying!
You have to make yourself speak so clearly, right?
No face at all?
Damn it!
However, after cursing a few words in his mind, Li Er still loosened his fist.
Having said this, if he turns his back and leaves again, will he come back next time?
"Ho--Okay, okay, I said, I said, okay?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said,
"My mistake was that I shouldn't have taken it upon myself to release those death row prisoners, even if it was just for one day. After all, there is Hou Junji inside."
"I was really moved by compassion at that time, and I opened my mouth on impulse. As you know, the emperor cannot go back on his words. He can only hold his nose and admit the matter and carry it forward."
"So, I was wrong, okay?"
Xu Fenglei sneered.
"Your Majesty, after all this, you still seem to be dishonest."
He asked rhetorically,
"Did they put it because Hou Junji was inside, or did they discover Hou Junji was inside after putting it there?"
"You seem to be avoiding the important and taking the easy."
"I am rather stupid. Can you explain it clearly to me so that I can make a good judgment?"
Li Shimin: "..."
"Okay, okay...I'll tell you the truth."
Li Er gritted his teeth and said,
"It's because Hou Junji is inside that I have this idea!"
"Is it okay?"
