Li Jingxing "cautiously" sat down opposite Li Jingxing and said anxiously: "Father."
Li Zetian sighed: "I have misunderstood you a lot in the past. I always thought the worst about you. I was wrong."
Li Jingxing said in fear: "Father, my son..."
Li Zetian waved his hand, interrupted him, and said to himself: "You have done a good job, and you will continue to work hard in the future."
Everyone knows that the eldest brother is the second son's biggest rival. During the palace banquet, if the second son had had his heart, he could have let the assassin kill the boss to avoid future troubles, but the second son did not do that.
It was the same when Lao Si was attacked this time. He could have used an assassin to get rid of Lao Si, but he still chose to rescue him, which shows that he really cared about the brotherhood in his heart.
Even if this person wants to pretend, he still has a degree. If the second brother can pretend to be like this, he will be ashamed of himself.
If the second brother really has such means and ruthlessness, leaving the country in his hands seems to be a good choice.
Of course, he prefers to believe that the second child really cares about brotherhood, rather than blindly calculating and exploiting.
Li Jingxing faced Li Zetian's scrutiny without any guilt and nodded solemnly: "My son, please remember your father's teachings!"
If those younger brothers were as upright and repaying kindness as his elder brother, of course he wouldn't mind being a good brother, but if they were like the fourth child and thought about plotting against him all day long, he would definitely not be able to repay kindness with kindness.
Li Zetian had a long and sincere chat with Li Jingxing, many of which included ways to be a king and strategies for governing the country, and also pointed out Li Jingxing's shortcomings. Li Jingxing listened carefully and reflected deeply.
Li Zetian saw that he had always been open-minded and open-minded, and he felt more and more that he had been too harsh on his son and not cared enough about him.
After a heart-to-heart conversation, the relationship between father and son became much closer.
The conversation lasted until dawn. Li Zetian felt a little tired, so he sent Li Jingxing back to rest.
Li Jingxing suddenly knelt down and said, "Father, I have something to confess!"
...
While Li Zetian and Li Jingxing were chatting all night long, Li Jingxiao, Gu Qingzhi and Li Jingxiao were also not idle.
After Li Jingxiao came back, he stopped all visits in the name of rest, and then secretly ran to Gu Qingzhi.
When he came in, Gu Qingzhi was sitting on a chair staring ahead distractedly, like a puppet that had lost its soul, lifeless.
Li Jingxiao's heart ached, and he stepped forward and hugged Gu Qingzhi into his arms, choking and saying, "Zhi'er, I'm useless."
Not only did he fail to calculate Li Jingxing, but he also put Gu Qingzhi into trouble.
Gu Qingzhi's thoughts gradually returned and he stared at Li Jingxiao expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty wants me to be your concubine?
Li Jingxiao's heart felt like a knife cutting through her, and she hugged Gu Qingzhi tighter.
"Zhi'er, I only love you."
Gu Qingzhi laughed sarcastically: "The fourth prince dares to guarantee that I am the only one in the backyard of the fourth prince's mansion?"
She originally thought that if Li Jingxiao failed again this time, she would use this as an excuse to cut off contact with Li Jingxiao, but the emperor ordered her to become the fourth prince's concubine, completely cutting off her retreat.
There is no place in the world other than the king's land. Where can she hide? What's more, she doesn't want to hide.
What she wants is supreme supremacy, what she wants is a mother to grace the world!
She is not willing to give in!
Li Jingxiao knelt down next to Gu Qingzhi and looked at his sweetheart carefully.
"Zhi'er, this is only temporary. I won't let you be inferior to others forever."
For the first time, Li Jingxiao felt that his promise was a bit dry, but now he can do nothing but say this.
Although his father loved him very much, he had no intention of letting him inherit the throne. If he displeased his father because of Gu Qingzhi, he might even lose that insignificant favor.
Now that Li Jingxing has won his father's favor through his own efforts, his situation will only become more difficult in the future, and he will not dare to disobey his father's wishes.
The more Gu Qingzhi listened, the more his heart sank: "Li Jingxiao, sometimes, you are not as good as Li Jingxing."
Li Jingxing promised to marry her as his concubine in his last life, and he did it regardless of the consequences, but Li Jingxiao was always hesitant and wavering.
His self-righteous plot all turned out to be a joke.
It seems like she... chose the wrong person!
But now the deal is done and there is no chance to change Zhang Yixian.
The moment Li Jingxing "helped" Li Jingxiao deal with the "killer", she realized that Li Jingxing had penetrated her and Li Jingxiao's plan, which also showed that Li Jingxing had actually suspected that she was Li Jingxiao's person for a long time.
She previously thought that Li Jingxing distanced herself from her because of Chiyang, but then she realized that was not the case.
Yes, how could a selfish man like Li Jingxing be constrained by a woman?
"Li Jingxiao, I have no chance to leave you."
However, she will never trust the man in front of her wholeheartedly again, nor will she give her sincerity. She will just use this man to become the most noble woman in the world!
Li Jingxiao thought Gu Qingzhi had figured it out, and was so happy that she hugged Gu Qingzhi into her arms.
"Zhi'er, no matter what happens in the future, I will always only love you."
Gu Qingzhi sneered in his heart.
She had already heard similar words in her previous life.
Gu Qingzhi lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes, took the initiative to hug Li Jingxiao, and rested his head on his chest, showing his weakness and helplessness.
"Zhi'er will only have His Highness from now on."
Li Jingxiao felt infinite pity and kissed Gu Qingzhi very tenderly.
After Li Jingxiao left, Gu Qingzhi did not take the repellent medicine immediately, but instead touched his belly expectantly.
Neither Concubine Rou nor the emperor liked her, so she had to get pregnant as soon as possible and use the child to establish her position in the fourth prince's palace.
It was a pity that she was pushed into the lake by Gu Qingluan when she had her first period. It was a cold day at that time, and she was not treated afterwards. She suffered from palace cold. I wonder if she has been cured now.
Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind to find a way to get rid of the piece of meat in Gu Qingluan's stomach after returning.
After Li Jingxiao left Gu Qingzhi's room, he turned around to find Li Jing'an.
Li Jing'an's wound had been treated and he was lying on the bed sickly, with the scene of Chiyang stabbing him replaying in his mind.
The resentment in his heart grew crazily, almost swallowing up his reason.
"Chi! Yang!"
Li Jing'an was so obsessed with thinking about things that Li Jingxiao walked into the inner room and still didn't wake up.
Li Jingxiao had already heard that Li Jing'an was injured and joked: "Didn't you already restrain the person?"
Li Jing'an was embarrassed to say that because he wanted to see Chiyang begging for mercy in front of him, he accidentally fell into Chiyang's plan and only said vaguely that Chiyang would attack him unprepared.
Li Jingxiao had no doubts, and after some concern, he said: "After I return to Beijing, I will expose the matter of Li Jingxing and Rongsheng's private gold mining to the imperial court. You must get rid of Prince Duan's Mansion as soon as possible!
If it is not suppressed in time, it will become increasingly difficult to compete in the future, and Li Jingxing must not be allowed to continue to be favored by his father!
