"There is no need for the Crown Prince to worry about this matter. I have my own arrangements.”
Zhangsun Wugou would rather die than submit, as if he was waiting to die at any moment."This life of mine no longer belongs to me. I'm Qin Wang's man in life, and I'm Qin Wang's ghost in death. Now that the fate of the King of Qin is unknown, how can I live in this world?”
"You want to die?"
Li Xuan smiled as he stood up and walked over. He grabbed Zhangsun Wugou's hair and pulled it to his face. He said sternly,""Guanyin maid, from today onwards, your life and death are in this prince's hands. If I want you to die, you can't live. If I want you to live, even the King of Hell can't let you die.”
"Is the Crown Prince being too arrogant?"
Zhangsun Wugou didn't seem to feel the pain as he stared at Li Xuan with a sneer.""I am the daughter of the Zhangsun Family. Now that the Crown Prince has destroyed the Zhangsun Family, how can I not allow a woman to choose between life and death?”
"I can't."
The smile on Li Xuan's face deepened. Seeing her stubbornness, he had the urge to play with her. He pinched her butt and pulled her into his arms.
"Uh-huh…"
Zhangsun Wugou couldn't help but grunt at the electric sensation. However, he tried his best not to lose his composure, but it made him look very comical.
"The struggle for imperial power has always been like this. Guanyin maid, remember, from now on, you are this prince's woman.”
With that said, Li Xuan plastered his face to Zhangsun Wugou's and said,""Don't worry, when this prince is in a good mood, I will come and take you in. If you dare to kill yourself before that, then don't blame me, I'll make Lizhi die with you.”
The moment he finished speaking, Li Xuan pushed Zhangsun Wugou away. The corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile as he clapped his hands and left.
Zhangsun Wugou's current expression was in a sorry state. His expression was one of despair. His messy hair hung down from his forehead, and his hair was disheveled. His nose was slightly sore, and two streams of tears rolled down his eyes.
She cried.
She gritted her teeth unwillingly, sat up, and quickly wiped it off.
Everything that had happened today had made her not as fragile as she should have been. The noble and cold Qin Wangfei of the past was just a thin and weak woman at this moment.
Her eyes became dull and lifeless. She slowly raised her head and looked out the window. She was afraid and muttered,"Second brother, don't worry. From the moment I married into Prince Qin's mansion, my life and death belonged to second brother. I swear that even if I die, I will never let the Crown Prince have his way.”
When Li Xuan walked out of the hall, two palace maids came in with prepared meals. They couldn't help but stop to take a look before shaking their heads. They guessed that Zhangsun Wugou wouldn't eat them.
He couldn't be bothered. Li Xuan never wasted time on such matters.
Back then, Li Er had treated Li Jiancheng's wife like this. Now, it was only because he had transmigrated that everything had been reversed.
The sky was getting dark and the sun was setting. Chang 'an City, which had been noisy for a day, finally quieted down. Feng Li and Zhao Zilong had not returned yet. Li Er had probably escaped.
Xue Wanche and Xie Shufang were on duty tonight. The situation was not stable. If Li Er was not dead, these old guys in the court would not be completely loyal.
"Where is His Highness? Has anyone seen His Highness? Where is His Highness…"
As soon as he arrived at Taiji Palace, panicked voices came from all directions. From afar, he saw an old eunuch pacing around anxiously. When he saw Li Xuan, he immediately acted like he had seen a Bodhisattva. He staggered over and gasped for breath."Your Highness, I'm afraid His Majesty can't take it anymore. He summons you to rush over immediately. Your Highness the Crown Prince, quickly go and see His Majesty.”
"Lead the way!"
Li Xuan nodded without any hesitation, and the old eunuch was immediately overjoyed as he responded repeatedly.
Li Yuan's bedchamber was at the back of Taiji Palace. The door was filled with palace maids and eunuchs. The door was wide open, and a group of imperial consorts, imperial concubines, princes, and princesses were lying on the ground wailing and shouting at the top of their lungs,"Your Majesty…"
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
The old eunuch's voice drowned out everything. Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment before they all bowed.
On the bed, Li Yuan, who had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, had his mouth and eyes crooked. His face was miserable. This was a typical case of cerebral hemorrhage in the future. Even a hospital with superior medical skills would not be able to save him, let alone now.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!"
Li Xuan deliberately stalled for time and bowed.
He really had no feelings for this old man. History clearly showed that Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming's internal strife was to mediate. One side nurtured the Crown Prince, while the other side let Li Er hold power. This was obviously the Emperor's way of checking his subordinates. It would be strange if they did not kill each other.
"My son Jiancheng is here!"
Li Yuan seemed to maintain his final lucidity as he slowly raised his trembling withered hand. Li Xuan couldn't help but lean over."Imperial Father, don't worry. With your son here, I will definitely be able to help Imperial Father recover.”
These words were just a show of filial piety. He knew that it was impossible.
"Forget it! I'm afraid Father won't be able to make it…"
Li Yuan closed his eyes dejectedly and held Li Xuan's hand tightly."I don't have long to live. The foundation of the Great Tang isn't stable yet, so I can't follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty. Today, I entrust the Tang Empire to you. I hope you can spare the King of Qin. After all, he is your second brother and the flesh and blood of our Li family.”
As he spoke, the old man cried.
