The atmosphere in Taiji Palace was a little strange.
Li Er didn't know what to say for a moment. He glanced at Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui understood what he meant. He coughed lightly and walked to Fang Xuanling's side. He opened his palm to support him while complaining in a low voice,"Xuanling, it's just a small fight between the younger generation. His Majesty is so decisive that he will only give each of them fifty strokes of the cane.”
"I'm here to seek justice!"
Fang Xuanling stood up and said righteously,"Other than that, I have no other requests!"
Justice? Li Er saw that he was pointing the spearhead at him and laughed angrily."Fang Xuanling, do you have a time when you're a cow? Your second son beat up zhen's imperial son, and you came to the palace with a letter of resignation, saying that you wanted justice. What if my justice is not what you want?”
"Then I'll admit it!"
Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and asked with a serious expression,""Emperor, may I ask if King Qi is seriously injured?”
It would have been fine if King Qi hadn't been mentioned, but the mention of Li Er made him angry. He heavily waved his dragon robe and coldly said,"He's still unconscious. I've already called the Imperial Physician to take a look. His injuries aren't serious, but the five palm marks on his face won't fade for at least half a month.”
The words were very obvious. Your Fang Jun did not beat my son hard, but that slap was not light. It was fine if it hurt his bones, but it was a hindrance to his face.
That heavy slap was not just a slap to King Qi's face, it was a slap to the entire Imperial Family, a slap to Li Shiming's face.
Li Er originally thought that Fang Xuanling would give him a way out and he would just go along with it. He would turn hostility into friendship and leave a good reputation for the harmony between the monarch and his subjects in the history books in the future.
Who knew that today, Fang Xuanling would be so stupid as to argue with him.
Li Er's temper flared up, and the situation was somewhat out of control. He decided not to give face to anyone.
He wanted to embarrass Fang Xuanling. The slap on King Qi's face was up to him. If he didn't handle it well, then don't blame the sovereign for being merciless.
"Cough cough!"
Du Ruhui coughed dryly and kept winking at Fang Xuanling." Don't force yourself at this time. Your arms can't move your legs. Fang Xuanling, lower your head to the Emperor and admit your mistake. Take a small step back. Both of you will be able to live a peaceful life."
"King Qi is still unconscious!"
"But my child almost lost his life!" Fang Xuanling said word by word.”
"What do you mean?"
Li Er's expression changed slightly as he looked at him suspiciously. At the same time, he, Cheng Yaojin, and Du Ruhui stared at Cheng Huaimo and Du He as if they were eating people.
Cheng Huai Mo and Du He were so frightened by that gaze that they broke out in cold sweat.
"When Fang Jun left, he was safe and sound.”
"I'm definitely not injured!" Du He quickly explained.”
Li Er frowned and listened to Fang Xuanling's explanation quietly. Fang Xuanling said with a stern face,"How much does Your Majesty know about what happened in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant?”
"I understand everything that needs to be understood."
Li Yu pointed at Cheng Huaimo and Du He."I just asked what happened."
"Then you also know that my son Fang Yiai was forced by King Qi to drink eight jars of Drunken Immortal Wine?”
Fang Xuanling raised his head and looked at Li Er with a burning gaze.
"What did you say?"
Cheng Yaojin's expression changed drastically as he shouted angrily.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Du Ruhui immediately coughed non-stop. This time, he wasn't pretending. He was really angry.
"Xuanling, this is no small matter. Don't speak nonsense!”
Li Er's face was as dark as water as he stared at Fang Xuanling and spoke in a cold tone.
This sudden statement added a layer of killing intent to the atmosphere in Taiji Palace. The conflict between King Qi and Fang Jun at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had suddenly changed because of the eight jars of Drunken Immortal Brew.
Du He and Cheng Huai Mo felt their hands and feet go cold. The two of them looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
The Drunken Immortal Brew was well-known in Chang 'an and had the reputation of being able to intoxicate the world. However, no matter how good the wine was or how greedy the person was, he could not drink eight jars of Drunken Immortal Brew in a row. This was not drinking, but committing suicide!
Therefore, everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
"I'm not lying!" Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice. "If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can summon my son Fang Jun into the palace and personally interrogate him. If you feel that your testimony is insufficient, you can send someone to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to inquire about the shop owners there. You can also wait for King Qi and the six guards who came with him to wake up and ask them!”
"I believe what I heard from your mouth.”
Li Er's expression changed. His hands behind his back clenched and loosened. After a long time, he said to Cheng Yaojin,""Zhijie, make a trip for me personally and ask the people of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant if there is such a thing!”
"Yes!"
Cheng Yaojin bowed with a solemn expression and turned to leave.
"Call King Qi here."
Li Er summoned a servant and ordered,""And those six guards of King Qi!"
"Your Majesty, King Qi and those six guards are still unconscious. The imperial physician said that they won't wake up for at least several hours!"”
"Wake him up! No matter what method they use, I want them to come to Taiji Palace awake!”
Li Er's roar resounded throughout Taiji Palace. After the servant had complied and ran away in a panic, he turned to Fang Xuanling and forced a smile on his well-defined face."Xuan Ling, zhen will give you an explanation for this matter.”
