Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Li Zhi was immersed in the enjoyment of delicious food.

Suddenly I heard Li Tai talking about "Father".

At that moment, his whole body shook violently, and the chopsticks he was holding tightly in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably with a clang.

His eyes widened instantly, filled with horror.

"Fourth brother, what nonsense are you talking about? What about the Emperor? Didn't our Emperor pass away?"

At this moment, Li Zhi felt a chill on his back and cold sweat quickly seeped out.

His mind was filled with confusion and confusion.

If the emperor is really still alive, the consequences would be unimaginable if the emotional entanglement between him and Mei Niang were leaked.

If this happened to an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a big deal, it would just be the emperor's concubine remarrying.

After all, my royal brother has already made the decision to release the concubines of Ganye Temple and allow them to remarry. I think my father will not care too much about the stay or departure of those women. In my father's heart, the only person he cherishes and loves from beginning to end is my mother.

However, his identity was special. He was Li Shimin's biological son. This involved not only a personal relationship between two children, but also strict ethical principles.

Once the truth comes out, my father, with his upright majesty and his extreme emphasis on palace rules, will surely be furious.

He seemed to have seen his father's face twisted with anger and felt Li Shimin's scolding and punishment.

When he thought of this, his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Li Zhi was actually intelligent, sharp-minded, and meticulous. He knew how to cleverly hide his edge and true thoughts in his daily life.

When Li Tai said that lightly, he actually believed it completely deep down in his heart.

But this fact was too shocking, and it went too far against common sense, so he really didn't dare, and didn't want to, believe that it was actually true.

"I'm faking my own death to see who's more suitable to be the emperor. Isn't it my eldest brother who's more suitable?"

Li Tai still looked relaxed and at ease, as if he was narrating a very ordinary trivial matter.

"We've all been fooled by our father. He's living a carefree life these days, taking Sizi and Ayuan out for fun every day."

"The expenses were simply like running water. All sorts of rare treasures, exquisite clothes, and delicious food. As long as the two little girls' eyes lit up, the emperor would buy them without hesitation."

"I'm jealous!"

Li Tai wiped his lips and continued, "It's a good thing my father abdicated early! Otherwise, with his unbridled extravagance, if he had continued to sit on the throne, he would have become a foolish and incompetent monarch."

"By then, the entire Tang Dynasty will be plunged into decline. We, the princes and grandchildren of the emperor, and even the common people of the world, will probably have to struggle in dire straits. How can we live a peaceful life?"

"I used to really think he was a wise ruler."

He paused for a moment, as if suddenly remembering something important, and added, "By the way, Father always returns on time with Sizi and Ayuan before dinner every day."

"If they haven't returned, then we know without a doubt that the three of them must have eaten in a restaurant outside."

After saying that, Li Tai greeted him warmly, "You can stay here tonight. Father must miss you a lot."

When Li Zhi heard this, he just nodded mechanically, as if he had lost his soul.

At this moment, he himself was confused and bewildered, not knowing what he was feeling inside.

On the one hand, knowing that his father was still alive, the deep affection in his blood instinctively made him feel an irrepressible joy and excitement.

After all, his father had been a towering mountain in his heart, the object of his admiration and worship since childhood, the source of his noble status and supreme glory. How could he easily sever the ties of blood, the bonds of kinship thicker than water?

But in another corner deep in his heart, Mei Niang's gentle and moving face, intelligent and lively eyes, and elegant and charming temperament lingered deeply in his heart.

Mei Niang is no ordinary woman to him.

She suddenly appeared in his ordinary world, exuding irresistible charm.

But if my father were really still alive, according to the strict rules of the palace and my father's usual style of doing things, my wish to marry Mei Niang would undoubtedly be a pipe dream and would never be possible.

Such tangled, contradictory and complicated emotions collided and entangled with each other in his heart, causing him to fall into deep silence.

He sat there blankly, his eyes confused.

"Chi Nu, why don't you eat anymore? If you are full, call me and I will eat the rest."

Li Tai, lying in bed, saw that Li Zhi had not moved for a long time and urged him, "Wasting food is unacceptable. It is a very serious matter in Xianyang City!"

Li Tai attaches great importance to food. In his mind, this is the bottom line that cannot be crossed.

Now, he has already thrown away all the red tape in the palace.

But the rules of Xianyang City are like engraved in my heart, and I always keep them in mind and dare not forget them.

His love for the city of Xianyang was beyond words. During this period, he traveled frequently, walking through the streets and alleys of Xianyang, making many like-minded friends and enjoying this free and unrestrained life.

……

Li Shimin finally listened to his two daughters' soft requests and decided to visit the Xianyang Governor's Mansion.

Carrying his two daughters' instructions, he stepped into the gate of the governor's mansion, found Wen Ruchu, told him exactly what his daughters wanted to say, and solemnly instructed him to convey it to Li Chengqian.

If Cheng Qian is too busy with official duties to take care of it, then he can only give up helplessly.

Today, Li Shimin was in high spirits and went to the vegetable market to stroll around.

He walked through the bustling market, carefully searching each stall and carefully selecting many fresh and juicy vegetables.

These vegetables are Sizi and Ayuan's favorite foods. He thought happily that when he returned home, he would cook a table of delicious dishes for his two precious daughters. Seeing them eat happily and contentedly would be his greatest happiness.

Of course, on the way to the governor's mansion, he did not forget to visit his two old brothers.

He thoughtfully ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous roast duck takeout and went to visit with this thoughtful gesture.

Despite their deep brotherly love, he did not change the situation due to their personal relationship, but simply visited them and did not try to rescue them.

It’s also good to let them recognize a few more words.

"Yeah, let's go home!" Li Jiming held high in his hand the exquisite dress-up doll he had just bought, his face flushed with excitement, and he skipped in front to lead the way.

Li Mingda held Li Shimin's arm and snuggled up to him, with a happy and sweet smile on his little face.

Li Shimin lowered his head slightly, looked at the ingredients he had carefully purchased today, then slowly raised his head and looked at the setting sun.

The afterglow fell on the simple and happy faces of the people around, and laughter and joy rose one after another.

A trace of loneliness suddenly flashed across his eyes, and he sighed inwardly, "If only Guanyinbi was still here!"
