Early the next morning.
After having breakfast, Wei Changtian and Li Wutong took a carriage into the palace to see Li Qi.
The former finally had a good sleep last night, but the latter stayed awake all night.
This also led to the current mental state of the two being quite different.
Glancing at Li Wutong who kept looking out the window and not daring to look at him, Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment and didn't speak. He just lowered his head and started thinking about what he had to do next.
After all, you don't have to worry too much about love and love. You just need to make it clear to Li Wutong before leaving Fengyuan.
But now, in addition to letting Li Qi fulfill his previous promise, there is another matter that has not yet been resolved.
That is Bai Youheng.
Wei Changtian didn't know if Bai Youheng, who had lost the Gu Eagle, would return to Fengyuan, but he would definitely try to kill him.
After all, a child of heaven is worth 1,500 points. If you don’t make money, you won’t make it in vain.
Thinking from this perspective, Wei Changtian certainly hopes that Bai Youheng will come back.
But if he analyzed it rationally, he felt that the probability was low.
Anyway, if he were Bai Youheng, what he was thinking about at this moment was definitely not coming to Fengyuan to seek revenge on him, but finding a place to hide and save his life.
But...let's wait a few more days.
According to previous intelligence, Bai Youheng will arrive soon, so we might as well wait a few more days.
If Bai Youheng shows up a few days later, he will just make some "extra money."
If you don't show up, just leave and go back to Shuzhou.
Hmm...it feels like I forgot something.
By the way, there's also Youjia.
I still have to get her out of Daning Palace before the first day of August.
But this matter is not difficult. Now that the Tongzhou Association in the capital has reached the point of overwhelming power, it should be quite easy to "capture" individuals.
The only thing is that You Jia said before that she would accompany Ning Yongnian on a trip to Beijing. The specific situation is not clear yet.
I don’t know where Ning Yongnian is going...
Forget it, let's go wherever we want, we'll tell you later.
Anyway, dealing with Ning Yongnian still requires long-term planning, and it is too late to study it after he returns to Shuzhou.
"..."
After going through many questions in his mind, the carriage slowly drove into the inner city and stopped in front of the Zhengyang Gate of the palace.
Except for the emperor, everyone was prohibited from entering the palace by carriage, so Wei Changtian and Li Wutong got out of the car and prepared to change into sedan chairs.
A sedan is different from a carriage. No matter whether it is a two-carriage, four-carriage, or eight-carriage, only one person can sit in it. Therefore, Wei Changtian and Li Wutong need to ride in two sedans.
The two of them hadn't exchanged a word since they left the princess's mansion, and that's still the case now.
But just when Wei Changtian opened the sedan curtain and was about to get on the sedan, Li Wutong suddenly stopped him.
"Master Wei, wait a moment..."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian stopped and turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Here, here..."
Taking a step closer, Li Wutong gently pointed at the collar of Wei Changtian's robe.
Although the right collar covers the left collar, it is a bit loose, and the underwear worn underneath may be vaguely visible when walking around.
After traveling through time for so long, Wei Changtian naturally already knows how to wear these "antique clothes".
However, most of the time before, there were people waiting for him to dress, so his own dressing level has now only reached the level of "barely able to wear clothes well". As for other complicated things, he never paid attention to them.
"Well......"
Seeing that his clothes were indeed untidy, Wei Changtian reached out and tugged at the skirt of his clothes, trying to tighten the collar.
But this long collar seemed to be deliberately against him. It was either leaning to the left or right. The result of a long time of adjustment was not as good as the initial result.
Wei Changtian suddenly fell into a "protracted battle" with the collar, and it seemed difficult to determine the outcome for a while.
Fortunately, Li Wutong finally took action at this time and managed everything neatly for him in just a few strokes.
"That, thank you."
Turning his head and looking at the surrounding eunuchs and maids who were watching their noses and hearts, pretending not to see anything, Wei Changtian thanked Li Wutong in a low voice.
The latter lowered his head and did not respond to the thank you. He just said softly, "You always have to be more decent when meeting your father." Then he turned around and got into his sedan chair.
"..."
"Mr. Wei, please board the sedan as well."
"Huh? Oh..."
At the reminder of a young eunuch, Wei Changtian, who had come to his senses, looked back and bent down to get into the sedan next to him.
But even though the two sedans had walked far away, he was still thinking about the scene that had just happened.
what happened?
Is Li Wutong switching to a gentle and considerate route?
Good guy, did it change so quickly?
Wei Changtian was greatly confused, but Li Wutong, who was sitting in another sedan chair, was very excited at the moment, and there was a hint of belated blush on his face.
She already knew Wei Changtian's attitude towards her last night.
If it were any other woman, she would have no choice but to reluctantly accept such a result besides wiping her tears secretly.
But Li Wutong is different.
After a long night of thinking, she had decided to "attack for love" and try her best to marry herself during the period before Wei Changtian left.
The person to marry is of course Wei Changtian.
For this reason, she even took a few maids to discuss countermeasures for a long time this morning.
One of the maids' sleepy words, "Princess, men like gentle women," also woke up the dreamer, and Li Wutong instantly "awakened" to what the problem was.
It turns out it’s all because I’m not gentle enough!
Just say it!
He looks good, has a good background, and is good at everything. The reason why Wei Changtian doesn't like him can only be because of his temper!
Then I’ll change it!
Li Wutong found the crux and immediately made changes, which led to the scene just now.
Wei Changtian's surprised look at that time was naturally noticed by her.
It really works!
Li Wutong! you can!
You can definitely marry yourself off!
...
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Dafeng Palace, Tianlu Hall.
Compared with Ning Yongnian's Shiqu Pavilion, which is also the emperor's study, Li Qi's Tianlu Palace is a little less solemn and a little more relaxed and freehand.
Outside the hall is a small garden, and there are bonsais placed everywhere inside the hall. The bright morning light comes in through the window and shines on Li Qi and a dignified woman wearing a gold robe. The scene is exceptionally harmonious.
This woman is Queen Dafeng and Li Wutong’s nominal biological mother, Lord Yu Ping.
"Father, Emperor, Mother."
"I have met the emperor and the queen."
Under the guidance of the eunuch, Wei Changtian and Li Wutong walked close to the two of them and said hello to each other.
"You are here."
Li Qi put down the brush in his hand and introduced to his wife with a smile: "Jun Ping, this is Young Master Wei."
"It's really an extraordinary performance."
Lord Yu Ping raised his head slightly, with a faint smile on his lips: "He is worthy of being the person who can plan to kill Yama."
"The Queen praises you greatly."
Bowing in return, Wei Changtian did not keep staring at Yu Pingjun out of courtesy.
But based on the feeling that these few breaths gave him, this Empress Da Feng should be the most dignified woman he has ever seen.
No wonder she can become a queen. With just these words and deeds, it is not too much to say that a mother is worthy of the world.
"Your Majesty, please speak to Mr. Wei."
On the other side, Yu Pingjun no longer looked at Wei Changtian at this time, but turned his head to Li Qi and said softly: "Tong'er and I will go to the garden for a walk."
"Well, go ahead, but today I will keep Mr. Wei to have dinner in the palace."
Li Qi smiled and warned: "You guys come together too."
"Yes, I know."
After slowly standing up and nodding to Wei Changtian, Yu Pingjun took Li Wutong and slowly walked out of the palace.
But just when the two were about to cross the threshold, Li Wutong suddenly turned back and looked at Li Qi quietly. It wasn't until the latter gave him an affirmative look that he felt relieved and followed Yu Pingjun to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
...
"Master Wei, sit down."
On the other side, after receiving the "signal" from his daughter, Li Qi smiled and motioned for Wei Changtian to sit down, and waved the little eunuch next to him to leave.
The Tianlu Hall soon became extremely quiet, with only the sound of gurgling water echoing between the two of them.
"Taste this tea."
He personally poured Wei Changtian a cup of tea, and then poured himself a cup without haste.
Li Qi waited until Wei Changtian raised the tea cup and then put it down, then slowly said: "Young Master Wei, I believe you know why I summoned you to the palace today."
"You must have heard a lot of my words of thanks yesterday. I originally didn't want to say them again."
"But the young master's move really saved the fate of our great country, which was about to fall. If I don't say thank you, I will really feel sorry for you."
"so......"
"Wow~"
The dragon-embroidered robe was shaking. Li Qi slowly stood up as he spoke, and then he raised his hand to Wei Changtian seriously.
"I, on behalf of the tens of millions of people, would like to thank you for your help."
"..."
The emperor of a country actually saluted and thanked him.
Wei Changtian didn't know if this was unprecedented, but he thought it was rare.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it."
Quickly standing up as well, Wei Changtian complained in his mind about the complicated etiquette of feudal society, and moved half a step to the side to avoid Li Qi's salute.
If I was to slay demons for Li Qi unconditionally, then I would accept this gift.
But now it is an "exchange of equal value" after all. In the final analysis, it is a transaction between you and me, so it is better not to make such nonsense and get down to business quickly.
After a few more polite words, the two sat down again.
As expected, Wei Changtian got to the point directly.
"Your Majesty, now that Yama is dead, should the things you promised before be fulfilled?"
"It's natural."
Li Qi smiled and nodded, but after a moment of pause, he asked unexpectedly: "But Mr. Wei, are you sure that Yama has indeed been killed?"
Um?
What does it mean? Want to play Lai?
Upon hearing this, Wei Changtian suddenly narrowed his eyes and his expression suddenly became unsightly.
You can't blame him for this, but I'm afraid anyone who comes here will think so.
Yama is neither a human nor a demon, and it will not leave a body when it dies, so how can we provide conclusive evidence to prove that it is dead?
It was the same even when Lao Zhangtou beheaded Yama Luo sixty years ago.
So when Li Qi suddenly asked this question, it seemed to Wei Changtian that he wanted to cheat and not honor the previous deal.
"emperor."
His tone was a bit cold. Wei Changtian looked at Li Qi and said slowly: "Yesterday, my grandfather killed Yama Luo with one sword. Many people saw it with their own eyes. I wonder how the emperor wants to confirm it?"
"Of course I don't know."
Li Qi replied with a smile, and then added just before Wei Changtian turned against him: "But in fact, there is no need to go out of your way to verify it."
No special verification required?
Are you here playing charades with me?
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Wei Changtian's tone became even colder: "If you don't want to fulfill your previous promise, then just say so."
"Hahaha, Mr. Wei has misunderstood. How could I do such an unfaithful thing?"
Li Qi laughed twice and explained: "What I mean is that we only need to wait until July 15th to know whether Yama is dead?"
Wait until July 15th to see if anything happens to Fengyuan City.
If nothing happens, it means that Yama is indeed dead.
Li Qi's statement is correct, but what is the significance of doing so?
If the result is that Yama is not dead, it will be too late to remedy the situation.
Or do you just simply don’t want to suffer?
Wei Changtian's brows were still slightly wrinkled, but his expression became slightly more relaxed.
"Your Majesty, so you mean... I still need to stay in Fengyuan until July 15th?"
"That's it."
Li Qi nodded: "Master Wei, I will never break my promise. As long as everything goes as usual in Fengyuan City on July 15th, I will immediately fulfill my previous promise."
"..."
Gan, I thought I would be able to return to Shuzhou soon, but in total I have to wait another ten days.
Forget it, I originally planned to wait for Bai Youheng for a few more days anyway.
"Your Majesty, as you said, I will wait until July 15th."
After making up his mind, Wei Changtian looked up at Li Qi and said slowly: "I hope you won't have any other excuses then."
To put it bluntly, this sentence is actually very disrespectful to Li Qi.
However, the latter didn't care and even poured Wei Changtian another cup of tea.
"Master Wei, just rest assured, I will do what I say."
"Only until July 15th, the rest will depend on God's will."
"God willing?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Hahahaha, it's nothing."
Li Qi smiled and waved his hand: "Drink tea, drink tea."
...
"..."
"Mother, that's it."
Just when Li Qi succeeded in holding Wei Changtian back so that the latter had to stay in Fengyuan for more than ten days, Li Wutong had already finished explaining the reason to Yu Pingjun.
That's right, the reason why Li Qi did this was actually the result of Li Wutong's hard pleading.
After all, it takes time to "defeat" Wei Changtian, so she came up with such a method.
But although the excuse of "verifying whether Yama Luo is dead" still makes sense, Wei Changtian has indeed agreed now.
But strictly speaking, such an approach is undoubtedly a bit unclear.
"Hey, Tong'er, what do you think I should say to you?"
He reached out and tapped Li Wutong's forehead. Yu Pingjun was obviously helpless at this time.
The former knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only whisper coquettishly: "Mother, if you don't give it a try, I will never be willing to accept it in my life... You will also help me, right?"
"Okay, okay, help you, help you!"
Yu Pingjun smiled bitterly and said, "You've been this bad-tempered since you were a child. I think your father has spoiled you."
"Hehe, mother is the best!"
"..."
They are not a real mother and daughter, but they feel no doubt like mother and daughter when they get along, and they are even closer than ordinary people.
This scene was indeed very touching...if Yu Pingjun hadn't shown that look of disgust when Li Wutong wasn't paying attention.
She didn't know that she was disgusted with her "daughter's" future husband, Wei Changtian.
Or she simply hates her "daughter".
