As soon as Li Shi Min left, the quiet Xian De Hall turned into a market again.
"I didn't expect the King Chu, who has always lived in seclusion, to be so righteous.”
"That's right! It's a pity that the heavens are jealous of the talented. If His Royal Highness can recover, our Great Tang will have another pillar of strength.”
“........”
After Li Shimin left, Li Kuan struggled to get up.
He turned a deaf ear to the praise of the officials. His pale face was indifferent, as if he did not care about life and death.
No one knew that the calm and composed King Chu had already begun to curse in his heart.
Originally, Li Kuan had a good plan. According to his past image, this job would never be his.
His current goal should be to develop wretchedly, not to be reckless, to hide and ascend the throne, and not to be high-profile.
However, just as Li Kuan was about to watch the little fatty's performance, the system issued a mission.
[Mission: Kill Luo Yi and quell the rebellion of Yan and Liao.]
[Reward: Five lucky draw chances.]
[Failure: Shorten by 3 centimeters.]
Five chances at the lottery draw would earn him 5,000 strings of coins. Who are you looking down on?
However, looking at the punishment for failure, Li Kuan was not naive enough to think that he would shorten his height.
Li Kuan had no choice but to stand up and pretend to be a b * tch.
Since he could not resist, he could only go and get some benefits at the same time.
He believed that after this act, his status in his father's heart and his reputation among the ministers would definitely increase greatly.
After all, even Li Shi Min was moved to tears by her.
Only now did Li Kuan realize how good his acting skills were.
If it was in his previous life, he would definitely be an Oscar winner.
Li Kuan tidied up his clothes and walked towards his residence.
He did not care about the brothers and the officials kneeling behind him.
————
In Empress Zhangsun's bedroom.
A graceful and beautiful woman sobbed softly.
From time to time, he would scold this most honorable man of the Great Tang.
A little lolita with pink makeup blinked her big eyes. She looked at her mother for a while and then looked at her father for a while.
It was as if he was wondering why the two of them did not play with him today.
uh... Was she not cute anymore?
The little loli tilted her head and thought in confusion.
"Your Majesty, how could you be so heartless as to let Kuan 'er go?”
"How can you bear to do that?"
Empress Zhangsun said angrily to her man.
Li Shi Min felt guilty. He had been fighting for more than ten years, but he still couldn't defeat this man.
But today, Li Shi Min had never felt so powerless.
However, for the sake of Li Tang's empire and the people of Liming, Li Shimin had no choice but to do so.
"Guanyin maid, as the prince of the Great Tang, it's time for Kuan-er to do something for the Great Tang."
"But don't worry. Once the Turkic army retreats, I'll immediately bring Kuan 'er back.”
Li Shi Min promised his wife.
"But why Kuan 'er? You know about Kuan 'er's health. If anything happens to him, how am I supposed to explain to my sister in the afterlife?”
The current Zhangsun Wugou was not the famous Empress Wende in history. He was just a mother who was worried about her child.
"I know. I owe this to them. If it wasn't for saving my son, my mother wouldn't have died, and my son wouldn't have been so weak and sickly.”
Speaking of Li Kuan's birth mother, Li Shiming's face became more and more guilty.
At this moment, a eunuch walked in.
"Where is King Chu now?"
Li Shiming asked the eunuch as he saw the newcomer.
"His Royal Highness Chu said he was a little tired, so he went back first. He also said he would visit the Empress in a few hours.”
The eunuch replied respectfully.
"Alright, I got it. You can go down first."
Li Shi Min waved his hand to signal the eunuch to leave and continued his coaxing.
........
After Li Kuan returned to his residence, he started thinking about the mission.
For Li Kuan, as long as he got close, it would not be difficult for him to kill Luo Yi with his current martial arts skills.
The difficult part was how to ensure his own safety and quell the rebellion after killing him.
Li Kuan suddenly remembered that Luo Yi's defeat and death in history seemed to be due to the rebellion of Zhao Cihao and Yang Ji in Youzhou.
It seemed that if he wanted to complete the mission, he would have to rely on these two people.
Moreover, the two of them had long been in contact with the imperial court. When the time came, he would plan it out and add on his own martial strength.
If he killed Luo Yi by surprise, the chances of suppressing Yan Liao were not small.
At that time, Mom won't have to worry about me shortening it.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Kuan felt much more relaxed.
Looking at the time, it was time to bid farewell to Empress Zhangsun.
I will set off for Youzhou Province tomorrow.
Li Kuan brought his beautiful handmaiden to Empress Zhangsun's bedroom.
As soon as he entered, a pretty little girl ran towards Li Kuan.
When she was almost in front of him, the little girl suddenly stopped and slowly hugged Li Kuan.
Li Kuan smiled knowingly. It must have been Empress Zhangsun who reminded the little loli.
After all, with Li Kuan's previous body, he couldn't withstand the little girl's attack.
"Second Brother is bad. It's been a long time since he came to see Lizhi.”
The little girl pouted her lips and looked very unhappy.
Seeing the little girl's adorable appearance.
Li Kuan ruffled her hair.
This made the little girl unhappy again. She glared at Li Kuan with her big eyes and sulked.
In the past, Li Kuan had a good relationship with his younger siblings. If there was good food and fun, they would give it to them.
At that time, Li Kuan often played with Li Lizhi even though he was not in good health.
It was just that one was playing while the other was watching.
Therefore, Li Lizhi was very attached to her second brother, who was often sick.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Kuan 'er, come and sit down. You're not in good health."
Just as the two siblings were fooling around, Empress Zhangsun's gentle voice sounded.
"Your son greets mother."
Li Kuan hurriedly saluted Empress Zhangsun when he saw her.
"Alright, sit down."
Li Kuan sat next to Empress Zhangsun.
"Kuan 'er, you've suffered. I've let you down. I've let your deceased mother down!”
Empress Zhangsun touched Li Kuan's cheek, tears falling uncontrollably.
Seeing Empress Zhangsun like this, perhaps because of the soul fusion, Li Kuan felt very close to Empress Zhangsun.
She listened to Empress Zhangsun's self-reproaching voice. Li Kuan felt a warmth in his heart, and he felt a lump in his throat. Tears welled up in her eyes at the same time.
In Li Kuan's previous life, his mother passed away right after giving birth to him, and his father rarely accompanied him because of work.
It could be said that Li Kuan had occasionally felt fatherly love in his previous life, but he had never felt maternal love.
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun's concern for him made Li Kuan feel motherly love for the first time.
"Mother, don't worry. Your son will definitely return alive. Your son still has to be filial by mother's side.”
Li Kuan comforted Empress Zhangsun. In the eyes of others, his trip was a narrow escape, but in his eyes, his life was not in danger. If he wanted to leave, it would be very easy.
After all, Luo Yi would never have thought that the sickly man, who was known to all, had the best martial arts in the world.
"You must pay attention to your health on this trip. Mother is waiting for you in Chang 'an.”
In Empress Zhangsun's opinion, Li Kuan's death would be disastrous. After all, how could Li Kuan's body withstand the long journey and the hardships of life in the military camp?
Li Kuan couldn't tell him about his current situation, so he could only comfort him.
Li Kuan spent a lot of effort to comfort Empress Zhangsun. Then, he saw that the little girl Li Lizhi was still unhappy.
Li Kuan walked over and ruffled the little girl's hair.
"You're still angry. Second Brother wanted to bring you some gifts this time, but it seems that you don't want them.”
"A gift?"
The young Li Lizhi didn't know that Li Kuan was in danger. When she heard that there was a gift, her expression immediately changed. She pulled Li Kuan's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Second Brother, I'm not angry anymore. I want a gift. Don't forget when you go out this time!”
Li Kuan's heart melted when he heard the little girl's soft voice.
"Okay, okay. I'll buy you a present. I won't forget.”
While Empress Zhangsun was playing with Li Lizhi, Li Kuan returned to his residence.
Li Kuan still had to make some preparations for this mission.
Li Kuan didn't forget that he still had a General Summoning Card to use. In order to be more secure this time, Li Kuan decided to summon a General to carry with him.
It was just that he did not know which hero would be summoned.
