He had a strong sense of self-esteem, which was why he said those words just now.
He hated Li Shi Min and liked to use words to provoke him, making him fly into a rage. This was also a kind of revenge, and it would bring him waves of pleasure.
But…these were all small fights.
If all the lives in front of him were gone, what was the point of fighting?
How was he going to torture Li Shiming and kill Zhangsun Wuji?
Although Li Shiming had won the Black Tortoise Sect incident in history, who knew if it was true in this world?
In the history books of his previous life, there was no such thing as a bastard son, Li Chen!
Everything was still full of variables.
Zhangsun Wugou's words made Li Chen feel a heavy heart, but it also made him realize the high risk of the Black Tortoise Sect incident.
He wanted revenge on Li Shi Min! But he had to take revenge himself, not die under the Crown Prince and King Qi's blades!
"Alright, it's my fault. My words were too extreme.”
Li Chen's face was still cold as he said this coldly.
However, when Zhangsun Wugou heard this, she revealed a look of great surprise.
"Erlang, listen, listen, Chen 'er is mistaken! He's mistaken!"
She shook Li Shi Min and smiled,
"This is the first time this child has apologized to us!”
"Good, good child…there's nothing better than knowing your mistakes. I've always known that your character isn't bad.”
To Li Chen, she had always called herself mother. Logically speaking, when facing the mistress, Li Chen should also call her mother.
However, Li Chen stubbornly called her " Aunt ". She didn't mind and still treated him like her own son.
Just this alone was enough to show Sage Empress Qiangu's magnanimity.
"Yes."
Li Shi Min nodded in surprise.
In the past ten years, there had been a lot of quarrels, but this was the first time Li Chen had taken the initiative to say that he was in the wrong.
Although his apology was not sincere and his tone was cold, as a father, he felt a little comforted.
He turned to Li Chen and said in a deep voice,"
"Since you also know that your words were rude, then Royal Father will pretend that you didn't hear what I said just now.”
"You can start preparing for Luoyang. Time is tight. Pack your things today and I will send you out of Chang 'an tomorrow morning.”
"This is the customs clearance document. In order to not attract attention, we used the merchant's document. You can go to Luoyang, Jiangnan, and Youzhou.”
"When the time comes, follow the merchant's convoy and get off at Luoyang. Someone will pick you up.”
" After you get the seal of Luoyang and the commander's seal, the entire military and political system of Luoyang will be in your hands. If there is any change in Chang 'an and my father dies, you..."
He paused for a moment and said with a complicated expression,
"Don't think about avenging me. Take good care of Luoyang.”
" If the Crown Prince leads his troops to attack, you can decide for yourself. If there's a great disparity in strength, you can abandon the city and go to Jiangnan or Youzhou. I have some hidden chess pieces there that I haven't used yet. They will protect you from being hunted by the imperial court. You…can hide your identity and be an unknown rich man…"
These words were like an old father's earnest exhortation to his child before his death, and those who heard it could not help but shed tears.
"But…even if I didn't say it, you wouldn't think of avenging me, right?”
However, Li Chen nodded and said calmly,"
"Avenge you? I can't wait for you to die."
"..."
"Good, good…that's good.”
He forced a relaxed smile and waved his hand.
"Then…you can pack up and keep these things. Father…Father will take his leave.”
The trusted aides behind him shook their heads and sighed.
It was rare for a son to hate his father so much. If it were them, they would probably have fainted from anger, right?
Your Highness the King of Qin, it really wasn't easy.
However, just as they were about to leave, Li Chen suddenly said,"
"Wait a minute, who said I agreed to go to Luoyang?”
Li Shi Min: "?!"
No one had expected Li Chen to do something like this!
"Chen 'er, you…what do you mean?”
Zhangsun Wugou asked.
Everyone was also looking at him, their eyes filled with puzzlement. As for Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin, these valiant generals, they had already revealed angry expressions.
Li Chen stood up and picked up the document. In the blink of an eye, he threw it into the lake.
The document fell into the water and quickly sank to the bottom of the lake, disappearing.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
" It's true that you're doing this to preserve the Li family's legacy and also to save my life. I don't think I have any reason not to agree because it's beneficial to me, but..."
Li Chen's expression was calm as he looked at everyone.
"I still refuse!"
"After I moved out of the Heavenly Policy Manor, I swore that I would no longer be controlled by anyone. No one can make decisions for me!”
Li Shiming's eyes widened. If it wasn't for Zhangsun Wugou supporting him, he would have fallen down again!
"I, Li Chen, do not need you to tell me what to do, and I will never listen to you!”
Li Chen looked at everyone and said coldly,
"You can send Li Ke to Luoyang. He is a noble of two dynasties and is not a legitimate son.”
"Wouldn't it be better for him to protect the bloodline of the King of Qin?”
Everyone was speechless.
Unfilial son! This was treason!
The confidants of the Heavenly Policy Manor were so angry that they almost fainted. A doubt arose in their minds.
How did His Highness the King of Qin tolerate this kid for so long?!
In the crowd, the figure of the child Li Ke, who had come along, trembled.
It was a matter of life and death!
Her mind was blank, and she didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
Brother, don't be like this…"
" You'll make father and mother very sad. They're really doing this for your own good. They don't have second thoughts…"
When Li Chen saw that it was her, the coldness on his face melted a little, and his gaze became gentle.
"Qingquan, have a seat and eat some date cakes.”
Li Chen said gently,
"Big brother naturally has his reasons for making such a choice.”
