In Duke Zhao's estate, Li Er arrived in the imperial carriage. The entire estate was instantly shocked and everyone was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
Although this fellow often came over before, it was basically to accompany Empress Zhangsun, which was equivalent to going to her mother's house.
But today, Li Er came alone to visit Zhangsun Wuji who was seriously ill.
"Ancestors, why did you get sick? How did your hand become like this?"
Li Er sat on the couch and looked at Zhangsun Wuji who was lying weakly on the bed. His heart ached.
Especially when Zhangsun Wuji's arm was wrapped in bandages. This…made Li Er extremely curious about what had happened.
"I, I…"
Zhangsun Wuji lowered his head guiltily and said,"
"This subject is stupid. I originally wanted to make some tea leaves and give them to Your Majesty according to the method of frying tea given by Your Majesty so that Your Majesty can drink a cup when you are tired.”
"Who would have thought that I was really stupid and accidentally hurt myself when I was frying. I am ashamed and dare not say anything. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me.”
As Li Er's caring cotton-padded jacket, Zhangsun Wuji went back and quickly prepared the tea after hearing the former's nonsense last night.
He had just provoked Li Er, so how could he not take the opportunity to curry favor with him?
Therefore, Zhangsun Wuji personally took action and ordered someone to bring an iron pot to start a fire in the courtyard. Then, he threw the tea leaves into it to stir-fry.
The problem was that the tea leaves actually caught fire while being fried. The fire under the furnace was really too strong, and the bear pounced up.
Zhangsun Wuji jumped in fright at that moment and hurriedly ordered people to bring water to extinguish the fire.
The fire was extinguished when the bucket of water was poured down. However, the steam rising from the iron pot rushed over. Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly raised his hand to cover his face.
In the end, it became what it was today.
Zhangsun Wuji never dreamed that this would be the result. It was really because of the lack of common sense in this era that he was burned.
Zhangsun Wuji felt bitter in his heart.
However, seeing Li Er visit him personally, at least he was able to get rid of this thought, which was considered a comfort.
Li Er was embarrassed. He didn't expect Zhangsun Wuji to pretend to be injured yesterday.
That method was just nonsense. It had not been verified at all. Li Er did not even know the specific steps of how to stir-fry it.
Little cotton-padded jacket actually went to try it out. Li Er was touched, but at the same time, he was extremely embarrassed.
"Ahem…"
Li Er coughed dryly, and then said without blushing or panting,
"You are very thoughtful, auxiliary. In that case, Zhen will allow you to recuperate at home for the next two days and not worry about state affairs.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhangsun Wuji thanked Li Er, but the latter didn't say anything more. He gave a few more instructions before getting up and running away.
It was too awkward. If Zhangsun Wuji asked about the specifics, Li Er wouldn't be able to answer and would run away first.
This story told Li Er that he couldn't casually pretend to be a forked man in the future. Even if he wanted to pretend, he had to be more practical, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Your Majesty."
Walking out of Zhangsun Wuji's room, Li Er was just about to return to the palace when a voice sounded from the side. He turned around and looked.
Zhangsun Chong?
This fellow limped over. Last time, he was beaten fifty times with a cane. These two days had been tough for him.
"Is there something?"
Li Er thought that he had just tricked Zhangsun Wuji, so he couldn't be too strict with Zhangsun Chong. The latter quickly cupped his hands and bowed,
"Your Majesty, this humble subject wishes to inquire about something.”
"Speak."
"Your Highness, have you returned to Chang 'an?”
This guy obviously did not give up. When he heard that Li Er had come to the residence, he quickly came over to ask for an audience.
He even made it look pitiful and limped so that Li Er would think that he was concerned about Li Lizhi's safety even though he was physically disabled.
Li Er frowned slightly. Speaking of which, Li Lizhi ran away from home because she wanted to avoid this guy.
If this matter was not canceled, Princess Chang Le would probably think of running away even if she returned home.
Sigh, let's forget about this matter. In any case, there was no imperial decree. He only spoke to Zhangsun Wuji verbally.
Li Er thought for a moment and said,"
"Zhangsun Chong, you don't have to worry about Li Zhi. I remember that you have a good relationship with Wang Gui's daughter, right?”
Wang Gui was a minister, one of the prime ministers. He was a descendant of the five surnames and the Seven Wangs, so his status was very high.
In this day and age, the five surnames and seven Wangs had an unimaginably high status. Even Li Er was looked down upon by them.
Once, Li Er wanted to marry the daughters of the five surnames and seven Wangs as concubines, but he was flatly rejected. This matter made him very angry.
Zhangsun Chong's face instantly turned pale. He shook his head and said,"
"Your Majesty, please be clear. Previously, Wang Pushe's eldest daughter had interacted with me at the poetry banquet, but that was all.”
"I don't blame you."
Li Er interrupted Zhangsun Chong's words and looked at him with his hands behind his back.
"If you like Wang Pushe's daughter, zhen will talk to you about matchmaking. It's also a good thing for a man to be in love with a concubine.”
"No!"
Zhangsun Chong was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. In a moment of desperation, he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Er.
"Your Majesty, I and Wang Pushe's eldest daughter are pure and innocent. I have no other intentions. I will remember the marriage that Your Majesty has granted…"
"When did I bestow you with a marriage?"
Li Er's eyes widened. Zhangsun Chong's face was pale. Could it be that the former wanted to go back on his word?
At the thought of this, he felt terrible.
"Your Majesty, the princess has been ill for a long time and is difficult to treat. Heavenly Master Yuan once said that only Chongxi might be able to save her.!”
Zhangsun Chong kowtowed hard on the ground, risking his life to say this. This fellow was obviously very unwilling.
"You!"
Li Er flew into a rage, but it was true. The national master, Yuan Tiangang, was a Taoist that he had personally invited back a few years ago. He was a strange person.
He had once been the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor and was extremely accurate in surveying the weather for the Great Tang. He also knew some fortune-telling techniques.
These years, Li Lizhi had been ill for a long time and was difficult to treat. Li Er was worried and specially looked for Yuan Tiangang to divinate and treat the former.
Yuan Tiangang first said that there was no cure, but one day, he suddenly came over and said that Li Lizhi was destined to be married, so perhaps she could be saved.
Therefore, Li Er had the idea of driving away the disaster.
Unfortunately, Yuan Tiangang passed away not long after, and he could not ask about it now.
Li Er's heart sank when he thought of this. He looked at Zhangsun Chong, who was kneeling in front of him, and said angrily,
"Get lost!"
Zhangsun Chong's entire body trembled. He did not dare to refuse and quickly knelt to the side.
Li Er left in a hurry. He wanted to go to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to find some Taoist priests to test Li Li's luck.
