They didn't return to the Qi King Mansion, which was the mansion that Li Shimin had given to Li Changge, because it had already been sealed.
Li Shi Min brought the two of them into the palace.
Li Changge did not panic at all. Even if Li Shimin wanted to stir up trouble, even if it was in the depths of the palace, Li Changge could still calmly bring Li Yueli away.
"Young Master Li, let's rest here tonight. I will clear your name in court tomorrow.”
Seeing the old eunuch Wang Sheng leave, Li Changge's eyes were filled with a strange look.
He was never innocent! Because he had indeed stolen the bride and destroyed the peace between the two countries.
Shaking his head, Li Changge decided not to care about it anymore. Just like the system said, he would take it one step at a time. However, the strange thing was, why did Li Shiming do this?
Could it be that it was really just to rope him in?
However, other than displaying his formidable strength, Li Changge had not revealed anything else.
Under such circumstances, Li Shi Min still wanted to rope him in?
After all, in order to rope him in, the price he had to pay was still a little high. This meant that Li Shiming had taken responsibility for everything he had done.
Li Shiming returned to Hanfeng Palace and Empress Zhangsun walked toward him.
"Your Majesty, where did you go?"
Empress Zhangsun asked curiously. She had just come back from the bank of Weishui River, but she didn't see Li Shiming. She heard from the palace maids that Li Shiming had gone out.
That was why Empress Zhangsun asked. It was already dark, what was Li Shimin doing outside?
Li Shi Min pondered for a moment, but in the end, he didn't hide anything.
However, he did not say everything. For example, what he said to Empress Zhangsun was what he was going to say to the ministers tomorrow.
"What? You said that you asked Li Changge to kidnap the bride?”
Empress Zhangsun was stunned and then looked at Li Shimin suspiciously.
For some reason, her intuition told her that Li Shiming was hiding something.
However, she also knew that it was better not to ask about some things. After all, Li Shiming was the emperor. There were many things that a woman like her could not know.
Although it seemed that Li Shiming had no reason to do this, since he did it, he must have his own purpose.
Seeing that Empress Zhangsun didn't ask any more questions, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I actually met Li Changge and that lass Yueli by the Wei River today.”
Empress Zhangsun suddenly said to Li Shimin.
"Oh, is that so?"
Although Li Shiming pretended not to know, Empress Zhangsun knew that Li Shiming probably already knew. After all, if she left the palace, Li Shiming would definitely send people to protect her.
After the two of them sat down, Empress Zhangsun said hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why, but when I saw that child Changge today, I felt that he was very familiar. He looked exactly like you when you were young.”
Li Shiming's hand trembled as he held the teacup, but he quickly calmed himself down.
"Oh? So that's how it is. No wonder I've always liked this kid for some reason.”
Li Shi Min said with a smile.
Empress Zhangsun also smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I like this child too.”
At this point, Empress Zhangsun fell silent. Her eyes were filled with sorrow. After a long time, she sighed.
"If Xiao Jiu was still alive, perhaps it would be the same age as this child?”
Li Shi Min felt guilty in his heart because he was the main culprit of everything. He and Qingyun Zi had set up a trap together to make everyone think that the Ninth Prince was already dead.
However, what the world did not know was that the Ninth Prince had not died. He had only returned to his original identity and walked the world again.
"Back then, when Qingyun Zi carried this child and came in front of zhen, zhen was also upset in my heart because of Little Jiu's matter.”
"Seeing that this child is so cute and is the same age as Xiao Jiu, I gave him the name Xiao Jiu.”
Li Shi Min said calmly. He was the Emperor, after all. Although his emotions fluctuated, it was not easy to show them.
Empress Zhangsun nodded after hearing Li Shiming's words. She did not doubt him.
After all, the Ninth Prince's premature death was certain. Back then, she had seen it with her own eyes. She had even personally placed the Ninth Prince's body into the coffin and then sent it to the Zhaoling Mausoleum for burial.
This was why no one suspected that Li Changge was the Ninth Prince. Although the name was the same, they had personally witnessed the burial of the real Ninth Prince.
They would never have thought that everything was Li Shi Min's plan.
Even Qingyun Zi did not expect that Li Shimin was so powerful, to actually arrange it so appropriately, directly switching a raccoon for the crown prince.
The night was silent. The morning court session began before dawn the next day.
The emperors of the ancient times had a hard time because the morning court session would begin at three or four o'clock in the future.
Although the Emperor was not the first to arrive, he was not very late either.
As for the officials, they had to get up in the middle of the night to wash up and wait outside the palace gate.
If they were lucky, they would retreat at dawn.
If they were unlucky, they might even have to stay in the palace for an entire day.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Wang Sheng's sharp voice rang out in Hanyuan Palace as Li Shimin walked into the palace in his imperial robe.
It seemed that he was in a good mood, and there was even a smile on his lips.
It was because Li Changge had eaten breakfast with him today. Of course, Empress Zhangsun and Li Yueli were also there.
This was the first time he had eaten with Li Changge, so Li Shimin was naturally happy.
