Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

King Youshan Xiao Zhengdu was the first to know about the assassination of Li Huaiqing.

The thing he had been waiting for for a long time finally happened. He was so happy that he was eager to go to Li's house to watch the fun.

He was just being harassed by the old-fashioned people in the Ministry of Rites, and he finally had a chance to disgust them back. They would not let him go easily.

“Long live His Majesty. As His Majesty’s beloved blood relative, you naturally cannot slack off.

In ancient times, Wang Zhiqi copied scriptures for his father to pray for blessings. You are free now, and the Ministry of Rites has no shortage of paper and pens. The masters of the Wanfo Temple are also here. Why don't you copy 19 volumes of scriptures for your majesty and offer them to the Buddha."

Xiao Zhengdu wanted to spit and say forget it, but the hat was put in front of him. His Majesty knew what he was doing in the Ministry of Rites.

It's okay to copy the scripture, but if he doesn't copy it... His Majesty will definitely not blame him, but I'm afraid he will remember it in his heart.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

The more Xiao Zhengdu copied scriptures in the Ministry of Rites, the angrier he became. He felt that since he was unlucky, he had to watch others suffer. Even if Li Huaiqing hated him, he would go to see his miserable state after his shift was over.

The people he sent noticed that Ji Heng did not use heavy force and did not kill anyone. This was strange. Had the madman changed his character?

When the time came, Xiao Zhengdu put down his pen, lifted his skirt and strode out, not wanting to stay any longer.

Lord Gu held his beard with his hand and snorted, "Your Majesty actually uses such people..."

He approached the handwritten sutra by Xiao Zhengdu and commented critically with his eyelids lowered, "The handwriting is superficial and has no style. Offering it to the Buddha like this will only pollute the Buddha's eyes. Find some calligraphy books by masters and let King Youshan see how to write tomorrow!"

The stubborn old man and King Youshan were arguing endlessly. Even though the officials of the Ministry of Rites respected Lord Gu, they sometimes felt that he was too presumptuous.

This time he mocked Youshan Wang's handwriting, and no one dared to agree, because everyone with a brain knew that

When Prince Youshan was young, he was not favored and had never studied, but since he was taken care of by the Queen, who was still a princess at the time, he and the Queen were taught by the old tutor.

Your Majesty can speak about his calligraphy, and the old tutor can speak about it, but neither Lord Gu nor they can speak.

No one responded after he finished speaking. Mr. Gu realized it belatedly and cleared his throat awkwardly, pretending that he had not said anything, and walked away swayingly with his hands behind his back.

the other side.

Xiao Zhengdu's eager gloating look was simply unbearable to watch.

When they left the Ministry of Rites, the sun was already setting. Xiao Zhengdu urged the driver in the carriage, "Hurry up! I want to see how badly he was injured. Was he really stabbed?"

If you hadn't stabbed the person seven or eight times, you would have been sorry for the narrow-mindedness in his heart.

"Your Highness...you are going to visit the wounded, so please stop smiling." The attendant beside him reminded him carefully, and then immediately shrank his neck for fear of being scolded.

Xiao Zhengdu propped his head up with one hand, half lying in the carriage without any image, "How can I be afraid of him? Even if he really sits on the throne beside His Majesty, I am not afraid."

He had fought with His Majesty for the throne before, and he had seen the ugly faces of the noble families.

Now some are dead and some have fallen, and only Li Huaiqing, who is known for his elegance and talent, is left. What kind of trouble can he cause?

As long as Your Majesty is still wary of the aristocratic families, he will never have a chance to succeed.

"It's strange. A few days ago, they were still strolling around Xiyun Market together. Today, he was injured, but she didn't show up at all." Xiao Zhengdu picked up a red apple and shook it, then took a big bite.

"Where did Lou Xiao go?"

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion wouldn't be unaware of what had happened to Li Huaiqing, right? Lou Hongying didn't have the guts to suppress the news.

The son who was once married off by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had never been heard of as having any talent or reputation. If he had not seen his name written on the rejected inheritance letter from His Majesty, he would not have remembered this person.

Something happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and he was forced to divorce. After returning home, His Majesty did not allow him to inherit the position of Duke of Zhenguo, and let Lou Xiao, who came from nowhere, take the position.

"How pitiful." Xiao Zhengdu commented while chewing an apple, "But Lou Xiao is indeed more suitable for this position."

At least...she can really fight.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Xiao Zhengdu ate the remaining half of the apple in a few bites, not wasting a single cent.

He threw the core down and adjusted his expression. The look of watching a good show disappeared from his face, and he looked serious.

The guards at the Li Mansion were all shocked. Prince Youshan came so suddenly without any warning. When did he become such a good friend of his own young master?

However, now is not a good time... The young master is running a high fever due to his injury and cannot receive him.

Xiao Zhengdu saw the guard's awkward expression. He stepped into the gate of Li's mansion and asked, "Why? I can't enter the gate of Li's mansion?"

There was no need for him to frown. Xiao Zhengdu just gave a half-smile and the servants and housekeepers at the door of Li's mansion knelt down in fear and apologized.

His rude behavior was consistent with his reputation, but there happened to be someone in the Li Mansion who had some influence and was invited over by the shrewd servants of the Li Mansion.

"I am Li Yanfan from the Ministry of Revenue, and I am honored to meet the King of Youshan."

Li Yanfan, a calm middle-aged woman, is an important figure in His Majesty's eyes. Xiao Zhengdu is also familiar with her.

She came out of Minghui Hall and saluted with her robe lifted in a very upright manner. Xiao Zhengdu had no choice but to stop and help her up.

"Lord Li is here too. What a coincidence. Has Lord Li seen Li Huaiqing? The concierge was hesitant and couldn't explain why, so I came to look for him myself."

Xiao Zhengdu's eyebrows jumped, thinking that he had a bad memory. It turned out that there was such a person in the Li family, who had been waiting here for a long time.

It’s just that Li Yanfan, as a branch of the Li family, has never taken sides with anyone when fighting for the throne. It seems understandable that he forgot that she is a member of the Li family when he was excited.

"I heard that Huai Qing was unwell, so I brought some medicinal herbs just in case. I saw him drink the medicine and lie down, and then I rested for a while in Minghui Hall. Who would have thought that I would meet His Highness coming..."

Li Yanfan explained the reason why he was here, paused, and thanked Li Huaiqing for coming, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Xiao Zheng pretended to know nothing and asked in confusion, "Is he sick? Someone, go and ask Dr. Xu from my palace to come and treat him..."

"Uh..." Li Yanfan immediately spoke up to stop him, "It's just a little discomfort, nothing serious, it's not worth bothering the royal doctor. I will tell Huai Qing the truth about your feelings, and he will thank you for your kindness when he wakes up."

You just don't want him to see Li Huaiqing, right?

"Since it's nothing serious, I came to see you specially. Why did Lord Li stop me?" Xiao Zhengdu was going to meet someone today. "I've heard of the great name of Li Huaiqing. They say he is a beautiful woman with a lot of talents. I want to be friends with him. Do you want to stop me?"
