"Crown Prince!"
Li Shi Min's face darkened as he shouted,"You actually want to harm me!"
Li Chengqian was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt on the ground and hurriedly said.
"Father! Your son has no intention of harming you!"
"I snatched the spirit consolidating soup from Li Ming. He brewed the spirit consolidating soup.”
"He's the one who wants to harm Imperial Father!"
Li Chengqian said excitedly. His voice became louder and louder until it finally turned into a roar.
"Do you have any evidence that the 14th wanted to harm His Majesty? Empress Zhangsun asked.
"This…"
Li Chengqian was dumbfounded. His expression stiffened, and his mouth opened and closed again, but he could not spit out half a word.
Empress Zhangsun saw his expression and naturally understood that he had no evidence.
Fourteenth was low-key and humble, and had always stood aloof from worldly affairs.
How could he have done something to poison His Majesty?
In order to survive, the unfilial son actually wanted to implicate No. 14.
At the thought of this, Empress Zhangsun's face was filled with anger as she scolded unhappily,""Unfilial son! You have disappointed bengong."
When Li Chengqian heard this, a trace of panic flashed across his eyes.
He knew Empress Zhangsun's temperament.
However, she would never be biased because of her feelings. She would definitely not help him.
Following that, his gaze landed on Zhangsun Wuji, revealing a hint of hope.
Zhangsun Wuji was his uncle and also the person who supported him the most among the officials.
Moreover, Zhangsun Wuji was a founding minister. He felt that if Zhangsun Wuji pleaded for him, Li Shiming might investigate the case again.
As long as he could start all over again, then he still needed a chance.
However, all the officials thought that Li Chengqian had found foxglove in his room.
Li Chengqian's crime had already been confirmed.
Anyone who pleaded for him now would be seen as an accomplice by Li Shiming.
Even a founding minister like Zhangsun Wuji lowered his head and remained silent.
No one noticed the anxiety in Li Shi Min's eyes.
Among the fourteen princes, the one he doted on the most was Li Chengqian.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made Li Chengqian the Crown Prince when he was only eight years old.
One had to know that there were still many princes who had yet to be born.
It was obvious that he had no intention of making any other prince the Crown Prince.
From this, it could be seen how much he liked Li Chengqian.
Although he knew that Li Chengqian used the Spirit Consolidating Soup to harm him, he did not have any thoughts of executing him.
Otherwise, when he was angry, he would have called Li Chengqian by his full name instead of calling him Crown Prince.
After all, Li Chengqian wanted to harm him. If he were to be directly pardoned, how embarrassing would he be?
Therefore, he wanted to use words to remind the ministers: Quickly plead for Li Chengqian and let Zhen have a way out.
However, no one could tell what he was thinking. He could only open his mouth again and change the way he addressed him.
Li Shiming looked at Li Chengqian who was kneeling on the ground and said,"Qian 'er! You still don't admit your guilt!"
Plop!
Li Chengqian was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. He looked completely out of his wits, and his eyes were filled with fear. He wanted to cry but could not.
At this time, Zhangsun Wuji could hear the frown in Li Shiming's words.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then bowed and said,"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince doesn't know anything about medicinal herbs. Perhaps he has obtained a good medicine. Your Majesty, please consider it!”
After he finished speaking, Gao Shilian's eyes flashed with understanding. He bowed and said,""I agree!"
Li Ming looked at Li Shi Min, who had a hint of joy in his eyes, and sneered in his heart.
He was the person in the Great Tang who understood Li Shiming's love for Li Chengqian the most.
Li Chengqian assassinated his brother Li Tai and failed.
Then, he chose to force the abdication and seize the throne. He almost killed Li Shimin and failed!
However, Li Shimin did not kill Li Chengqian and only banished him to the army.
The reason for Li Chengqian's death was that he died of depression and was buried beside Li Shiming.
In comparison, Li Chengqian poisoning Li Shimin was a relatively minor mistake.
Li Chengqian held the best cards.
He should have ascended to the throne smoothly.
Unfortunately, he was not obedient enough!
Chengqian, oh Chengqian!
Why bother me?
Even if I become your father, I will not strip you of your position as Crown Prince.
Li Ming looked at Li Chengqian who was kneeling on the ground and guessed that Li Shiming would punish him. At most, he would take away the position of Crown Prince and save his life.
Although he felt that Li Shiming was too biased and unfair.
But it didn't matter. It wouldn't affect his gift of the green hat.
As expected, after hearing Zhangsun Wuji and the other's pleas, Li Shiming pretended to think deeply and told them the decision he had made long ago.
"Although the Crown Prince is doing this for the sake of my health, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment cannot be avoided.”
Li Chengqian hurriedly got up and knelt down. He felt as if he had just walked through the gates of hell. He choked and said,"Thank you for your kindness, Imperial Father!"
This answer was acceptable to Li Chengqian, Li Shiming, and Zhangsun Wuji.
However, Ming Li was a little unhappy.
Although I don't mind you being biased.
But I can't let Li Chengqian's "slander" me go like this!
"Your Majesty!"There should be an explanation for Li Chengqian slandering me!”
This little brother is a handicapped person, and his speed is super slow. However, in order to thank all the big brothers for their gifts, flowers, and evaluation votes, I have to write more even if I don't eat dinner. Add more!
Flowers for three thousand, ducks for three thousand!
