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

A unique character like Fang Yiai is truly rare and unique.

Looking through history books from ancient times to the present, it is really hard to find a person like him who is given the rather humorous title of "the strongest green-haired turtle in history".

After Princess Gaoyang's shocking deeds were ruthlessly revealed in history, Fang Yiai's series of actions were incredible.

He completely disregarded his own dignity and face, and was devoted to begging for forgiveness for Princess Gaoyang and Monk Bian Ji. His behavior was contrary to common sense and really shocked the world.

As for the confusing rebellion that followed, it is difficult to determine its authenticity as the truth is hidden in the fog.

But one thing is certain, that is, in terms of love, the fact that he was cuckolded has become an established fact and cannot be disputed.

Even Li Chengqian, who was always calm and introverted, was attracted by Fang Yiai, this peculiar character, and stared at him with a curious and scrutinizing gaze.

That look seemed to want to completely see through Fang Yiai's inner world.

Fang Yiai keenly caught the gaze from Li Chengqian. He felt a dryness in his throat and subconsciously swallowed hard a few times, trying to relieve the tension and anxiety that was surging like a tide in his heart.

"Your Majesty, are you here today to look for Gao Yang?"

His lips trembled slightly as he asked cautiously in a low voice, a barely perceptible fear faintly revealed in his voice.

Li Chengqian looked calm, and only nodded slightly, then asked, "Did Gao Yang go to worship Buddha?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yiai's head nodded rapidly and mechanically like a puppet being manipulated, and he quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, Gao Yang loves to worship Buddha and says she wants to pray for Emperor Taizong."

Li Chengqian remained calm and said calmly, "Your filial piety is commendable."

Then, he changed the subject and his tone became serious: "Fang Yiai, Prime Minister Fang even brought you with him to court, asking me to allow you to attend as an observer. You must not disappoint Prime Minister Fang."

Fang Yiai was perplexed for a moment, wondering why His Majesty suddenly mentioned his father. However, he dared not hesitate or slack off, and quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty! I will definitely not let my father down."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, then walked slowly to the main seat in the study with steady steps and sat down calmly.

His eyes inadvertently fell on the open ancient book on the desk.

"Do you like reading?"

He suddenly broke the silence and asked. Fang Yiai nodded quickly and replied sincerely, "Your Majesty, I love reading."

Li Chengqian raised his eyes slightly and said slowly, "When I confiscated those noble families, the most valuable things were not the mountains of gold and silver treasures, but the ancient books they had carefully collected over the years."

"Now, those precious books are already being printed. You can go and buy some to read later."

When Fang Yiai heard this, an irrepressible surprise flashed across his eyes, and he quickly said with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian gently put down the ancient book in his hand and turned his gaze to focus on Fang Yiai, with a hint of inquiry and depth in his eyes.

"Yi Ai, how's your relationship with Gao Yang lately?"

When Fang Yiai heard this question, his heart suddenly tightened and his scalp went numb, as if it was being pricked by countless needles.

But now that things had come to this, he had no way out. He could only bite the bullet, feign composure, and reply against his will: "The princess has always been kind. I and she are in perfect harmony. We are deeply in love and deeply in love."

Li Chengqian's originally calm expression was instantly covered by frost, becoming icy cold. His voice also became stern: "Fang Yiai, Fang Yiai, are they really that close? Does Gao Yang really need to go to the Buddha's temple every day?"

"Let me ask you, do you all treat my Jinyiwei as nothing?"

As he spoke, Li Chengqian's tone grew heavier, shaking Fang Yiai's heart and soul. Fang Yiai felt his legs weaken, unable to support his weight any longer. He fell to his knees with a thud, and said with deep fear, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Li Chengqian ignored Fang Yiai's pleas for mercy and stared at him, asking in a stern tone, "What crime have you committed? Tell me what you have committed and I will decide whether to forgive you after I have heard it."

Fang Yiai suddenly felt as if something was choking his throat. He opened his mouth several times but still couldn't utter a complete word. He could only stammer and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Li Chengqian saw this and his anger instantly surged. He suddenly picked up the ancient book in his hand and smashed it hard at Fang Yiai's face with all his strength, while shouting, "Fang Yiai, Fang Yiai, you really have no manliness at all?"

Fang Yiai was frightened by this sudden and violent movement. His body trembled violently and his face turned pale. He could only stammer, "Princess Gaoyang and I treat each other with respect and have never done anything inappropriate."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian slowly raised his head, staring at him coldly, and said, "We've been married for so many years, but we're husband and wife in name only, not in reality. Fang Yiai, do you hate us?"

Fang Yiai was already frightened out of his wits, and he was completely bewildered. He could only kowtow repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground with a "dong dong" sound, and he kept muttering, "I dare not!"
