It was still early after leaving the Phoenix Cry Court. Li Yuanchang smiled and bade Hou Junji farewell before galloping north toward the Vermilion Bird Gate.
Li Shimin, who was reading the memorials in the hall, frowned slightly when he heard the eunuch's report.
"Retired Emperor is already old. He can't ride a horse, much less fight. I sit on this throne, and my heart is filled with the people of the world. I work hard every day. Isn't it good?”
"Seventh Brother, do you have to do something to make yourself feel good?”
Li Shimin shook his head and said a few words before waving his hand.
"Let him go. Zhen is busy with state affairs and it is difficult for him to be filial.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Yuanchang secretly stuffed two small pieces of gold into the guard commander's hands. He cupped his hands and bid farewell, then swaggered towards the Great Peace Palace.
Before he even reached Da 'an Palace, he heard lewd laughter coming from the palace. Li Yuanchang clapped his hands happily and quickened his pace to the front of Da' an Palace.
"Reporting to Retired Emperor, the King of Han requests an audience. He said that he has gotten you something good.”
"Your son greets Retired Emperor."
Li Yuanchang walked in with a smile and bowed his head.
"Get up. Yuanchang, you said you brought something good for me. What is it?”
"Father, do you still remember the superpower that Ye Fan gave you a few days ago?”
"Heh, hmm, that medicine is not bad, not bad. Why? Didn't that kid say that there was only one left?”
Li Yuan's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Father, Ye Fan indeed only has one. This one was bought from a merchant caravan in the Western Regions after I visited Chang 'an.”
Li Yuanchang took out a celadon bottle and handed it over with both hands.
"Heavy gold…Haha, Little Qi 'er, I know what you're thinking.”
Li Yuan took the celadon bottle with a smile, then poured out the pill. He observed it carefully for a while, then put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
"Tell me, what do you want from me? I only have these women now, and most of them were given by you. Why don't I reward you with a few? Hahaha…"
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he laughed out loud.
"Imperial Father, Yuan Chang is here to present gifts to Imperial Father. How dare he ask Imperial Father for something?”
Li Yuan Chang spoke in a miserable manner and even squeezed out two drops of tears.
"Little Qi 'er, do you really think I'm old?!”
"You want to enter and leave the palace freely, so you came to ask for my Dragon Tiger Token?!”
"In the entire palace, only your second brother and I have these two Dragon Tiger Tokens. They can ignore the palace restrictions and enter the palace freely.”
" Xiao Qi 'er…During the battle at the Black Tortoise Sect, your big brother and fourth brother died tragically. Your second brother took advantage of the situation and forced them to abdicate…"
"Xiao Qi 'er, can't you just be the king of Han? I only have a few sons. Can't you let me have some peace of mind?!”
"Imperial Father, you still don't know what kind of person I am. If I play with Second Brother with my mentality, won't Second Brother play me to death? Xiao Qi 'er asked you for the Dragon Tiger Token so that she wouldn't have to go through all those complicated procedures when she enters the palace to offer you beautiful things.”
"Imperial Father, I heard that the merchants of the Western Regions were going to send over a few beautiful women from the Western Regions. Their style is completely different from Hu Ji and the women of our Great Tang, so I boldly came up with the idea of borrowing the Dragon Tiger Token from you.”
Li Yuan Chang said word by word, trying his best to dispel Li Yuan's suspicions.
"Father, you know that I'm no match for second brother. Besides, how much effort does one have to put into governing the country every day? There are morning court sessions, memorials, and the hearts of the people. I'm not cut out for that at all.”
"Yes, that makes sense. Your second brother may be vicious, but the Great Tang can't do without him. Forget it, I don't leave the palace all day. What's the use of this Dragon Tiger Token? If you want it, I'll give it to you.”
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he pulled out a dragon-shaped white jade pendant from his belt and threw it to Li Yuanchang.
"Little Qi 'er, remember this. I don't want to see you brothers killing each other again. If you dare to walk the same path as your second brother, I won't forgive you!”
