"Unfilial son, unfilial son!"
"You guys, why aren't you helping the princess break free? Sigh, how did I, Li Xiaogong, give birth to such an unfilial son!”
"Someone come! Take this unfilial son into the palace! Bring me my court clothes. I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor!”
Li Chongyi's joy did not last long. He had just put the Golden Chicken into the breeding space of the system and had not yet fed it! Li Xiaogong barged in with his men.
He did not give Li Chongyi a chance to argue. In such a scene, it was obvious that he was caught red-handed.
After Li Xiaogong changed into his court clothes, he immediately escorted Li Chongyi to the palace.
This time, this matter was too big, the trouble he had caused was too big. One had to know that the person who was kidnapped by Ling Wu was Li Shi Min's most beloved Princess Gao Yang!
If that was all, then it was fine. More importantly, Princess Gao Yang was Fang Xuanling's future daughter-in-law! Li Shiming had already 'given' it to Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Yiai!
On the way to the palace, Li Chongyi tried to explain to his cheap father, but Li Xiaogong was obviously extremely disappointed in him and did not even give him a chance to explain.
Li Chongyi glared at Chai Lingwu. It was all this guy's fault. Why did he kidnap the princess? However, Chai Ling Wu was still unconscious. Even though he was unconscious, his eyes were filled with fear.
Initially, Li Chongyi did not take this matter to heart. However, when he saw Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Chai Shao, and even Empress Zhangsun in the main hall, he realized that he could not let this matter rest.
A family's dirty linen should not be aired, but this time, there seemed to be a lot of people who knew about it!
Princess Gao Yang, who had entered the palace with Li Xiaogong, ran over with tears in her eyes when she saw Li Shi Min.
Under Li Shi Min's inquiry, Princess Gao Yang told him everything intermittently. However, the main point was that Li Chongyi had scared her and even snatched her favorite chick fur.
Everyone in the hall could feel Li Shiming's anger rising.
One had to know that among all the princesses, Li Shi Min doted on Princess Gao Yang the most. Usually, no matter what mistakes Princess Gao Yang made, Li Shi Min would just laugh it off.
But now, his daughter, whom he couldn't bear to beat and scold, was being bullied by outsiders. It was pitiful.
Li Xiaogong quickly went forward to plead guilty.”
"Yes, I understand." Li Shiming replied to Li Xiaogong indifferently. Then, he looked at Li Chongyi with a cold expression.
Li Chongyi was sizing up the one emperor in history. When he saw Li Shimin looking over, he hurriedly bowed." Greetings, Your Majesty and Empress."”
"Tell me, what happened today?”Li Shi Min asked emotionlessly.
"Your Majesty, this is a long story…"
Before Li Chongyi could finish, Li Shimin interrupted,"Then pick a simple one!"
" Alright, it's simple. Three days ago, Lingwu and I didn't know the princess's identity. We flirted with the princess and were beaten up by her guards…"
"Hmph, he deserves it!" Li Shi Min snorted coldly.”
Li Chongyi felt a little awkward for a moment before he continued,""I was unconscious for three days. When I woke up today, I saw that Lingwu had kidnapped the princess to the Hejian King's Mansion. I was about to…"
Hearing this, Li Shi Min's expression eased up a little. He also knew that Gao Yang liked to play outside the palace in plain clothes. The two of them did not know Gao Yang and kidnapped him. Although it was wrong, it was still a misunderstanding.
But at this moment, Chai Ling Wu, who was carried in, suddenly woke up and shouted,"Chongyi, you're hurting me! This is the princess, how can you kill her to silence her! Your Majesty knows…"
Li Chongyi's face darkened, Li Shiming's face darkened even more, and the others all had different expressions.
"Chai Lingwu, tell me what happened!”Li Shi Min said coldly.
Chai Ling Wu heard this voice and immediately got up from the ground." Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with me. The princess was killed by Li Chongyi. I saw it with my own eyes. He strangled the princess to death with his hands. I tried to stop him, but he knocked me out. The princess died a horrible death!”
" Chai Lingwu!" Li Chongyi said angrily," To think that I treated you like a brother and even covered up for you just now. How dare you frame me?"”
"Brothers?" Chai Lingwu took two steps back and distanced himself from Li Chongyi."I did treat you as a brother in the past, but that was because I didn't know that you had a human face and a beast's heart. But today, I finally saw your true colors. From now on, I'll cut all ties with you!”
"Enough!" Chai Shao couldn't help but let his son continue to embarrass himself here. He rushed over and slapped Chai Ling Wu twice, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, he said to Li Shi Min with an embarrassed expression,"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Li Shiming looked at Li Chongyi, then at Chai Lingwu, and snorted coldly. Now that things had come to this point, he basically knew the situation. Of course, he didn't believe that Li Chongyi had the guts to do anything to the princess.
"Xuan Ling, how do you think we should deal with them?”Li Shiming asked Fang Xuanling.
Hearing Li Shiming's question, Li Xiaogong and Chai Shao both heaved a sigh of relief. Their daughter had been wronged, but they were asking Fang Xuanling how to deal with her. This meant that Li Shi Min did not want to do anything to Li Chongyi and Ling Wu because of them. However, because Princess Gao Yang was Fang Xuanling's unmarried daughter-in-law, he threw this problem to Fang Xuanling.
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Great Tang, those who molest women on the streets will be whipped twenty times. Those who rob women will be whipped fifty times before being banished.”Fang Xuanling bowed and left.
"Father, I don't want to be banished! Father, save me!" Chai Lingwu shouted without caring about the situation.
Being banished to the army was actually a nice way of saying it. In reality, it was to become a slave soldier. It was the kind of cannon fodder on the battlefield that was used to fight against the enemy. Basically, being a slave soldier, the only fate was to die on the battlefield.
Seeing that Fang Xuanling was not giving him face, Li Shiming gave Zhangsun Wuji a look and said,""Since that's the case, let's do as Xuanling says…"
Zhangsun Wuji understood and interrupted at the right time,"Your Majesty, I believe that Li Chongyi and Chai Lingwu made such a huge mistake because the Hejian Prince and Duke Qiao did not teach their children well. You can punish them by penalizing them for half a year. Also, you must strictly order the Hejian Prince and Duke Qiao to teach their children well.”
