"Your Highness, please speak up for this servant!”
Seeing that Cao Zhengchun was about to drag him out of King Qin's mansion, Zhang Kong panicked and pleaded loudly to Li Er,""This servant really knows her mistake, I won't dare to do it again!”
Li Er and Du Ruhui were stunned.
After entering the residence, the arrogant eunuch Zhang Kong was actually begging for mercy in fear in the face of Li Tai's thunderous methods.
Li Er came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Kong's pleading gaze without saying a word.
Spare Zhang Kong?
What was the use of sparing him?
From the moment Li Tai ordered people to break Zhang Kong's legs, there was no forgiveness.
Would the Crown Prince not take the opportunity to make trouble just because he spared Zhang Kong?
Would Consort Yin De give up and not deal with Prince Qin's residence?
So, why should he be spared?
Even if he, the King of Qin, was not the one to do it, and Li Tai had ordered his men to do it, the Eastern Palace and Consort Yin Defei would not have done anything to Li Tai. After all, Li Tai was only eight years old, a child. Who would go to such lengths to deal with a child?
They would only target Li Er!
Zhang Kong's voice drifted in from outside King Qin's Mansion, getting further and further away.
In the end, she could no longer hear his voice.
It was silent in King Qin's Mansion.
Suddenly, the sound of crunching melon seeds echoed in Li Er and Du Ruhui's ears. At the same time, a childish voice sounded,""Do you two want some melon seeds?"
The two of them tilted their heads to look at him with complicated expressions.
Facing Zhang Kong's arrogance, how could they not want to make a move? However, they had been holding back. They could not make a move. Once they beat Zhang Kong, they would offend Consort Yin De. His Majesty would definitely blame King Qin's residence!
Prince Qin's Residence was already in a precarious situation. Now that they had provoked a powerful enemy, Consort Yin De, it was no different from adding insult to injury to the situation of Prince Qin's Residence.
But who would have thought that Li Tai would make a move!
"You're in big trouble this time, brat!" Li Er sighed.”
Li Tai munched on melon seeds and blinked at him.
Trouble?
I don't think so!
Du Ruhui held the jade pendant and said guiltily," Your Majesty, it's my fault. If I hadn't offended Consort Yin De's father, I wouldn't have made things difficult for Your Majesty."”
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Ah Shu Yin provoked us first. We've already tolerated them time and time again, but they're pushing their luck!”
Li Er waved his hand and said," It's good to beat her up. Just like what Green Sparrow said just now, let Yin Defei learn a lesson. It's also good to let her know that not just anyone can bully Prince Qin's residence!"”
Du Ruhui hesitated." But His Majesty…"
Li Er fell silent. Was it serious to offend Consort Yin De? It wasn't serious. What was serious was that His Majesty would punish Prince Qin's residence severely because of Consort Yin De!
After a long time, Li Er sighed and said,"Green Sparrow, tomorrow you will go to the morning court with me."”
Li Tai was eating melon seeds when he heard this. He couldn't help but raise his head and say in astonishment,""Ah?"
"Ah what?"
Li Er glared at him." You've caused such a big trouble. Do you think you can escape? Going to the morning court with her father was more dignified than being brought to the morning court.”
Li Tai fell into deep thought. If they went together tomorrow, wouldn't the matter of him snatching the throne be exposed?
So be it.
Anyway, this matter could not be hidden.
"Alright," Li Tai grinned.
At this moment, Du Ruhui strode up to Li Tai and bowed to him with a solemn expression. He said gratefully,"Fourth Prince, I haven't had the chance to thank you. If it wasn't for Fourth Prince, I would have been humiliated by Zhang Kong today.”
Li Tai blinked and said in a tender voice,""Uncle Du, there's no need to thank me verbally. If you really want to thank me, just promise me one thing. If I need your help in the future, just stand up and help me.”
Du Ruhui was stunned.
Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he pointed at his forehead and said,"You're just a child. What can Uncle Du do for you?”
"Forget it if you don't need it," Li Tai said in a childish voice.”
Li Er laughed and said,"How about this? I promise you on behalf of your Uncle Du. If you really need his help, he will definitely do his best to help you."”
"What do you think, Uncle Du?" Li Tai looked at Du Ruhui.”
Du Ruhui couldn't help but laugh."Since Your Majesty has spoken, how could I dare to disobey? If the Fourth Prince needs my help in the future, I will do my best.”
Li Tai nodded in satisfaction.
With Du Ruhui's promise, things would be easier in the future.
He just didn't know if Li Er's mentality would explode. He had snatched an important aide from him?
At this moment, Li Er suddenly asked,""Keming, you are in charge of the servants of King Qin's Mansion. Cao Zhengchun, who beat Zhang Kong up just now, is one of our people?”
Du Ruhui thought for a moment and nodded." There is indeed such a person. He is the chef of Prince Qin's mansion. His background is clean. Other than being skilled, there should be no problem."”
Li Er frowned." That's strange. Such an expert actually obeys Green Sparrow's orders. Green Sparrow, what do you have to say?”
"I owe him a favor."
Li Tai had already thought of a way to phrase his words. He said seriously,"Some time ago, when I saw that he was in a bad mood, I gave him a handful of melon seeds.”
Hearing this, Li Er and Du Ruhui were stunned. What kind of joke is this? You can make such an expert listen to you with just a handful of melon seeds?
Li Tai looked relaxed. He wasn't afraid of them investigating. They could think whatever they wanted. There was nothing wrong with this person. With the help of the system, even if they dug three feet into the ground, they would still find out that Cao Zhengchun was from King Qin's Mansion.
"Keming is assured of this person's identity. Father has nothing to say. With such a person by your side as a guard, Father will also be at ease.”
Li Er no longer doubted it and said enviously,""Tell me if you have done anything to anyone in Prince Qin's mansion.”
A handful of melon seeds could be exchanged for such an expert guard.
This kid.
She was simply a lucky star!
"No!" Li Tai rolled his eyes. How could he not understand Li Er's thoughts? He actually wanted to poach my people. Then let's ride a donkey and watch the song. Let's see who can poach the other!
"Father was just asking."
Feeling as if he had guessed what was on his mind, Li Er laughed dryly and quickly changed the topic. He tilted his head to look at Du Ruhui and said with a solemn expression,
"Keming, I'm afraid that the Eastern Palace will make a move tomorrow morning. King Qin's Mansion needs to prepare for a rainy day. Immediately inform Xuanling, Zhijie, Apothecary, Wuji and the others to be on guard!”
"Here!" Du Ruhui replied and then said solemnly,
"Your Majesty, I think that apart from this, we should also give some benefits to the neutral officials. Let them be impartial and not help the Eastern Palace at the morning court tomorrow even if they can't speak up for King Qin's Mansion!”
Li Er nodded and said,"Do as you say!"”
Li Tai was eating melon seeds at the side, watching the two of them talk with relish. Very good. Du Ruhui was indeed reliable. He had to pry him from King Qin's Mansion for his own use. In the future, he had to see who else was in the Eastern Palace. He had to pry all the capable officials and generals over.
