"Brother Wei Zheng, has he forgotten what night it is?" Li Ke looked at Wei Zheng and teased.
"This..." Wei Zheng's face turned bitter.
Not to mention, he had been busy looking for girls these past few days, and he really forgot what night it was.
Li Ke smiled slightly.
He was somewhat aware of Wei Zheng's character. He was greedy for money, lustful, and especially fond of wine.
I think back when he was in Prince Qin's Mansion, Wei Zheng was famous as a 'wine barrel', and there was a record of drinking ten jars of wine in one go.
In Wei Zheng's eyes, probably everyone except the emperor could use it to drink.
Of course, except Li Ke.
Wei Zheng held his chin with one hand and stroked his beard with the other. His eyes were rolling, and he suddenly handed over his hand.
"Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do today, so I will take my leave now."
After he said that, he turned around and left.
However, how could Li Ke let Wei Zheng leave so easily? This guy probably didn't want to be involved in this incident, so he lingered in the land of fireworks all day long.
"Don't leave in a hurry, Mr. Wei, I still have some things to ask you."
Wei Zheng's footsteps stopped abruptly. He turned his back to Li Ke and said softly: "Your Highness, there are some things that are beyond my control."
Li Ke smiled, this old fox understood everything.
"Master Wei, you misunderstood. I just want you to accompany me for a walk. I have no other intention."
Wei Zheng didn't speak, but his back already told Li Ke the answer.
This old guy probably doesn't want to wade into this muddy water.
Li Ke was not in a hurry, he had plenty of ways to get Wei Zheng on his way.
Now that we have lost face, there is no need to save face for Wei Zheng anymore.
Li Ke winked, and the guards behind him stopped Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng turned around and looked at Li Ke with some surprise.
"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"
Li Ke smiled.
"Master Wei, let's go for a walk. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Wei Zheng's face was extremely ugly. Of course he understood what Li Ke meant by 'talking'.
But he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
However, now he has no way out.
Rather than quarreling with Li Ke here, it is better to go out and see if you can find a way to escape.
Wei Zheng handed over.
"Your Highness is interested."
Wei Zheng's eyes moved rapidly as he thought about how to escape.
After leaving the door, Li Ke and Wei Zheng walked on the stone road. From time to time, people knelt down and saluted on the road.
Wei Zheng followed Li Ke seemingly absentmindedly.
He was a little depressed. If he had known it, he would not come to visit this pier.
Li Ke was laughing in his heart.
Of course he knew what Wei Zheng was thinking, and the old fox must be thinking of a way to escape.
The two of them walked for half a stick of incense before Li Ke finally spoke.
"Master Wei, we're here."
Wei Zheng looked up and his scalp suddenly felt numb.
Because they are now standing at the door of a large hall.
This main hall is a royal temple, where the ancestors of the Li family are enshrined.
Except for the emperor, no one else can enter casually.
Because this hall is where the emperor works and is also used for ancestor worship, the buildings here are built according to the specifications of the imperial palace.
There were still two guards guarding the door, but now they bowed and bowed their heads low.
Because their ancestors are enshrined here, they dare not be disrespectful at all.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Ke with some confusion.
"What did your Highness bring us here for?"
Li Ke didn't speak, but walked in first.
Wei Zheng had no choice but to follow in.
There was a lot of incense in the main hall, and some sacrifices were placed on the altar table, but no one had come to worship for a long time.
Although it is not as glorious as the palace, it has a solemn atmosphere.
Li Ke certainly didn't bring Wei Zheng here to worship his ancestors.
He wanted Wei Zheng to see this thing.
Wei Zheng watched helplessly as Li Ke took out a golden dragon jade seal from his arms, and he suddenly couldn't sit still.
Because he was so familiar with this jade seal. It was the imperial seal passed down from the Tang Dynasty and was the only token of the royal family.
Unexpectedly, Li Ke took out this thing.
Wei Zhenggang wanted to ask, but Li Ke raised his hand to stop him.
Because at this time, rapid footsteps came from outside the hall.
Wei Zheng listened carefully, but it was the voice of a palace maid.
"Your Highness, this is a royal temple. You can't just go in. Come out quickly."
Wei Zheng was suddenly confused. The person who came was none other than the personal maid of Prince Li Chengqian and someone close to Li Ke's mother.
What is this maid doing here?
Wei Zheng suddenly felt regretful. He felt that he should not get involved with Li Ke.
Li Ke shouted outside: "It's me!"
When the palace maid heard Li Ke's voice, she quickly bowed and saluted.
"See His Highness the King of Shu."
After she finished speaking, she still stood at the door with no intention of leaving.
This made Wei Zheng a little confused. Doesn't this palace maid know what's going on inside?
Li Ke said, "Go back first and tell them they don't have to worry about today."
"Yes!" The palace maid bowed and turned around to leave.
Wei Zheng looked at the palace maid's retreating back and asked with some confusion: "Who is that palace maid?"
"The maid of the East Palace!" Li Ke said calmly.
Wei Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Of course he understood what Li Ke meant.
It seems that things have begun today.
It was too late for Wei Zheng to pull away now, so he had no choice but to walk on.
Li Ke glanced at Wei Zheng and spoke calmly.
"Master Wei, you may already understand some things, so I won't hide them. The purpose of inviting you here today is to ask you to be a witness."
Wei Zheng said nothing. Although he had already guessed the cause of the matter, he had no intention of intervening.
Li Ke seemed to have seen what Wei Zheng was thinking, and he was not going to let Wei Zheng go.
If this old fox can't tie him into his chariot today, then don't blame him for being rude.
Li Ke took out the imperial seal from his arms and placed it on the altar table.
"Master Wei, do you know what this is?"
Wei Zheng looked helplessly at the imperial seal in Li Ke's hand and spoke helplessly.
"This is the imperial seal of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Ke nodded, "Master Wei is indeed well-informed. Yes, this is the imperial seal of the Tang Dynasty."
Wei Zheng became increasingly confused about Li Ke's thoughts.
Although this jade seal is precious, it seems to have nothing to do with this matter, right?
Where did Li Ke sing this?
In fact, Li Ke is also beating a drum in his heart now.
He didn't know whether what he was doing was right or not.
