"Lizhi, what do you think this is?"
Without needing to think, he knew that Zhangsun Wugou had told the girl this. Li Xuan didn't mind at all. He took out a lump of jelly from his bag and waved it in front of the girl."Do you want to eat?"
After all, he was a child.
The young Li Lizhi pouted and walked in front of Li Xuan in fear. She placed her chubby hands behind her back, looking like she wanted it but didn't dare to take it.
After a long while, she looked at Li Xuan aggrievedly and nodded.""Yes!"
"Imperial uncle and your father were born from the same mother, how could he kill him?”
Li Xuan squatted down and handed a pile of candy and snacks to the little girl. He patted her head and said,""From today onwards, can you be Imperial Uncle's daughter?”
"Then what if my father comes?" Li Lizhi asked in confusion.
"Isn't it better to have two fathers who love you?”
Li Xuan gently pinched her cheeks and said to the palace maids beside him,""Men, bring the little princess out to play. She can go wherever she wants in this huge Imperial City. Take good care of her. If anything happens, I will ask you.”
"This servant understands!"
The group of palace maids shrunk their necks in shock and left the courtyard with Li Lizhi in twos and threes.
The eunuch in front of the door also understood and closed the two wooden doors with a creak.
Zhangsun Wugou, who was standing in front of the main hall, quickly stood up and ran over."Where are you taking Lizhi? Let go of her, let go of her…" As he spoke, he was about to chase after her.
However, when she passed by Li Xuan, he grabbed her by her armpit and pulled her back.
The stubborn woman's face was full of anger and her expression was ferocious. She struggled fiercely, unwilling to admit defeat."Isn't Your Majesty afraid of damaging the dignity of the Son of Heaven by humiliating us?”
"Tell me, what should I do with you?”
Li Xuan had a smirk on his face as though he was doting on a kitten. He sized up Zhangsun Wugou with a teasing gaze.
"If Your Majesty is really so good, then let ChenQie and Lizhi go.”Zhangsun Wugou had an expression that he would rather die than submit.
Li Xuan completely ignored her whimsical thoughts. He dragged her into the room with one hand and threw her onto the bed. He slowly approached her and instantly, Zhangsun Wugou was frightened.
Her entire body curled up into a ball, and her charming eyes were filled with fear."What…what are you doing? Your Majesty, do you think I won't bite my tongue and commit suicide?”
"I have a few questions for you today. If you can answer them, I will let you go and find Shimin…"
Li Xuan took the opportunity to sit by the bed, leaving Zhangsun Wugou stunned. His pale face finally regained its color."Is that true?"
"Really?"
Li Xuan smiled lightly." However, I have a condition. If you can't answer, you can be my woman in the future. Do you dare?”
Zhangsun Wugou once again fell into deep thought. His two pairs of pale fingers tightly gripped the blanket as he curled up in a corner. He stroked the messy hair on his forehead and finally nodded fiercely.
"I agree."
"Alright."
The smile on Li Xuan's face deepened." My question isn't complicated. I only ask you, if the person sitting in Taiji Palace today was the King of Qin, Li Shimin, what would she do? Will you leave behind my children?"
"I won't!"
Zhangsun Wugou said calmly without even thinking.
"Then what I did to you today, was it wrong?”Li Xuan pricked up his eyelids.
"That's right."
Zhangsun Wugou continued.
"Do I not dare to kill you?"
"I dare!"
"Then why didn't I kill you?"
“……”
Zhangsun Wugou was stunned this time. His furrowed brows immediately relaxed and he laughed self-deprecatingly."Because ChenQie is a woman, women have always been toys in the hands of the Son of Heaven. Not to mention ChenQie, all the emperors that Empress Xiao served were killed, and Empress Xiao is still a beauty…"
"So, you think that I didn't kill you because I was greedy for your beauty?”
Li Xuan laughed when he heard that.
Although he did want to have sex with her, he deliberately pretended that it was not the case.
Instantly, Zhangsun Wugou was stunned. He smiled bitterly and said,""Isn't Your Majesty the same? Wasn't it to serve His Majesty by killing my Zhangsun clan and the entire family of the King of Qin, leaving me and many women behind?”
"If I want you, can you resist?”
Li Xuan's questioning made Zhangsun Wugou increasingly confused. He shook his head in a daze."Of course not. I'm a woman. How can I be Your Majesty's match?”
"Then what you said just now, is it correct?”
Li Xuan wore a mysterious smile.""If I wanted you, I could have gotten you back in Prince Qin's mansion. Why would I stay here today and acknowledge Lizhi as my biological daughter? Dare I ask, who else in this world has such treatment?”
"Then, Your Majesty…"
Before she could say anything, Li Xuan said,""Let me ask you again, who was the one to blame for the incident at the Black Tortoise Sect?”
"Qin…Qin King…"
Zhangsun Wugou's voice was already so soft that it could not be heard.
How could she not know that Li Jiancheng was the legitimate Crown Prince and the future Emperor? Li Er ended up like this because his rebellion failed.
"Then let me ask you again, should the King of Qin and the Zhangsun clan be killed?”
Li Xuan looked at Zhangsun Wugou, who was gradually falling into a panic, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.""Since I have done nothing wrong, why do you hate me so much? Killing the King of Qin and the Zhangsun family was the will of heaven. Anyone who has reached my level will be like this. You understand in your heart, right? I have no choice but to do this, but I won't kill you. I have no choice but to acknowledge Lizhi as my goddaughter. Guanyin maid, are you willing to be my woman?”
