Li Shi Min's anger was instantly suppressed by Li Xuanlie.
He, Li Shimin, as the second son, was able to stand on equal footing with the eldest son, Li Jiancheng, because he had more military achievements than Li Jiancheng.
Since he was talking about merit, he could only remain silent in front of Li Xuanlie.
Seeing that Li Shiming's arrogance had been suppressed, Li Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and a hint of satisfaction flashed across his old face.
All these years, he had been suppressed by his two sons. Today, Li Xuanlie could be considered to have vented his anger for him.
"Alright, let's forget about this matter. Shimin, you're the elder brother, so what if you give in to your younger brother?
I promise you, the next time you take a fancy to the daughter of a duke or marquis, I will bestow a marriage to you.”
Li Yuan's tone became kind.
After all, he was a father. It was one thing to suppress his son, but it was another thing to love his son.
"Your son obeys the decree. Your son will take his leave."
Li Shi Min cupped his hands and left the hall.
Just as he stepped out of the door, Li Shiming turned around and glanced at Li Xuanlie, his eyes burning with hatred.
In the main hall, the battle between father and son and brother came to an end.
Zhangsun Wugou had never expected to experience such a scene. Feeling uneasy, he didn't dare to stay any longer and took his leave.
"Imperial Father, regarding the marriage between your son and Imperial Sister, Father…"
"Aiya, my father, my body is getting worse by the day. It's only been an hour, and I'm already so tired. I'm going to sleep.”
Li Yuan didn't give Li Xuanlie the chance to talk about his marriage with Xiu Ning. He boasted and helped the eunuch leave.
Li Yuan was pretending to be sleepy, but he was really old. He even showed signs of bending when he walked.
Looking at his elderly father's departing back, Li Xuanlie could only temporarily give up and shake his head with a sigh.
"San Lang, good things take time. Let's give father more time.”
Li Xiu Ning held Li Xuanlie's hand and comforted him softly.
In this world, she was the only one who could calm Li Xuanlie down.
He nodded and held Xiu Ning's hand tightly. The two of them left side by side.
Outside the Dew Hall.
Zhangsun Wugou was currently hurrying along the path of the Li Palace.
The soul-stirring scene in the hall was still vivid in his mind, constantly appearing before his eyes.
Thinking back now, Zhangsun Wugou couldn't believe that it was real and thought that it was all an illusion.
"Sister Wugou, please wait!"
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind.
Zhangsun Wugou turned around and saw Li Shimin coming out from behind the big tree. It seemed like he had specially come here to wait.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Zhangsun Wugou hurriedly bowed politely, not daring to neglect.
Her politeness made Li Shi Min feel unfamiliar, as if she was deliberately drawing a line between them.
"Sister Wugou, don't worry. This matter isn't over yet. This king will think of another way and definitely won't let you become Li Xuanlie's concubine!”
Li Shi Min swore solemnly. He had not given up yet.
Zhangsun Wugou sighed." The Emperor has already given his orders. His Highness King Reliance is also willing to obey the Emperor's orders. Wugou can only listen to the Emperor's arrangements. Your Highness King Qin, you don't have to worry about Wugou anymore.”
Li Shimin felt a chill down his spine. From Zhangsun Wugou's words, he could faintly hear a trace of ominous omen.
He frowned and said indignantly,"How can that do? How can this king watch as you are forced by Imperial Father to lower yourself to become Li Xuanlie's concubine? This king will not let this matter rest!”
" Actually…" Zhangsun Wugou hesitated.
She wanted to tell Li Shi Min that she was willing, but she couldn't bear to let him suffer.
Li Shiming chattered on and on, boasting to Zhangsun Wugou about how to turn this matter around.
Your Highness, you've misunderstood!"
Finally, Zhangsun Wugou was tired of listening and loudly interrupted Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min was stunned and looked at her blankly.
Zhangsun Wugou raised his head and stared at him with a determined gaze. He said seriously,""To be honest, Your Highness, the Emperor and King Reliance didn't force Wugou. It was Wugou who willingly became King Reliance's concubine.”
Li Shi Min's body shook, his eyes were filled with shock.
"Wugou has always regarded Your Highness as an elder brother, and there is only respect in his heart. It is Wugou's lifelong wish to serve King Reliance, and he will not be forced to do so.”
"This matter is already a foregone conclusion. Wugou, I would like to advise Your Highness not to be angry with King Reliance and the Son of Heaven because of Wugou.”
Zhangsun Wugou no longer hid his thoughts and spoke truthfully, even giving him some advice.
"You actually, actually…"
Li Shi Min's voice was trembling, his eyes were burning with anger, he couldn't speak.
"It's getting late. Wugou will take his leave first.”
Zhangsun Wugou curtsied and left in a hurry, leaving Li Shimin behind.
