Inside the Prince Qi's Palace in Qizhou.

Concubine Yin was extremely anxious. Her eyes were fixed on Li You, her eyes were full of worry, and her voice was a little anxious: "You'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Why are you so reckless and insist on going against the Jinyiwei? Don't you know the interests involved?"

Li You's face was filled with impatience. He closed his eyes irritably, as if he didn't want to listen to Concubine Yin's nagging any more. He just perfunctorily responded, "Mother, it's not that I intend to make things difficult for the Jinyiwei."

"I have always kept my distance from them, but for some reason this time, those Jinyiwei suddenly jumped out and specifically opposed me."

"I am the dignified King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with me killing a few untouchables for fun in my own fiefdom?"

"Didn't Father, when he was on the throne, never reprimand me?"

When Concubine Yin heard Li You's ridiculous words, her eyes widened with anger. She glared at him fiercely and scolded him, "Shut up, you useless thing!"

"Don't think that your father doesn't know what you've been doing in your fiefdom. He just doesn't have the time to pay attention to you."

"If he really knew how reckless you were, he would definitely summon you back to Chang'an and give you a severe beating."

"Do you think you can always be so free and easy?"

Concubine Yin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and continued, "The current emperor is Li Chengqian. Do you know what kind of person he is?"

"The entire Tang Dynasty's Jinyiwei are his eyes and ears. Your every move is under his surveillance. Do you understand, You'er?"

"Once this matter reaches the imperial court, it will definitely not be resolved as easily as you imagine."

Concubine Yin leaned forward slightly towards Li You, her eyes filled with pleading and urgency, and she advised earnestly, "Just listen to your mother's words and honestly submit a letter of apology to His Majesty, and then personally apologize to the families of those innocent people you shot to death."

"You must do things in a thorough and appropriate manner. After all, you are Li Chengqian's younger brother. He may not be willing to kill you out of consideration for our brotherly love. At most, he will imprison you and let you reflect on your mistakes."

"But if you continue to be so stubborn, it will be difficult for your mother to protect you."

After saying that, Concubine Yin sighed helplessly, her eyes full of helplessness.

When Li You heard Concubine Yin ask him to apologize to the people, he immediately became furious and extremely emotional. He widened his eyes and shouted, "Mother, what did you say?"

"You want me to apologize to those lowly people? I am the Prince of Qi of the Tang Dynasty, the son of Emperor Taizong. I have an extremely noble status. Why should I bow my head and admit my mistakes to a few lowly people?"

"If Li Chengqian is truly capable, then let him come and kill me. I want to see if he dares to bear the eternal infamy of being a murderer of his brothers."

"Didn't Li Tai, who committed the heinous crime of treason, survive? What can he do to me?"

When Concubine Yin heard Li You's nonsense, her brows knitted tightly together and she shouted again, "Shut up! How can you speak so arrogantly?"

"Who are you, and how can you be compared with the King of Wei?"

"They are brothers from the same mother and have a deep bond with each other."

"And what about us? What is our status in this palace?"

"Can you compare to Sister Changsun?"

"Li Chengqian showed leniency to Li Tai's men because of his eldest sister, Sister Changsun."

"But he might not hesitate at all when it comes to you."

"My mother doesn't have that much nerve."

"Don't you know clearly how those noble families were destroyed? Have you forgotten, You'er?"

Yin Fei's voice was a little hoarse, she looked at Li You desperately

"Just listen to me this time and do what I say. Maybe we still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, you and I will be doomed."

Li You completely ignored Concubine Yin's earnest persuasion. His face was filled with dissatisfaction, and he shouted loudly: "Mother, I've had enough! This is Qizhou, I am the King of Qi, and this is my fiefdom."

"I am on my own territory, and I can do whatever I want. Why should I consider the opinions of others? I will never yield!"

Yin Fei looked at Li You's stubborn appearance and felt regret in her heart. She sighed heavily.

How could I have given birth to such a stupid and reckless son?

"You're not convinced? Why are you so dissatisfied? Not only did you act recklessly, you even had the audacity to kill Qizhou's Chief Clerk, Quan Wanji. Did you know that as soon as this matter reached the court, there's no way out for you, a fool?"

"In this critical moment, what else do you intend to do if you don't rely on the bond between brothers to protect yourself?"

"Do you still want to rebel? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? How can you rebel?"

The more Concubine Yin spoke, the angrier she became. She glared at Li You and finally shouted, "Get out of here!"

Li You glared at Yin Fei fiercely, his eyes showing both dissatisfaction with his mother and unwillingness to accept his current situation.

He shook his sleeves indignantly and strode out of the room, leaving Yin Fei alone in the room. She looked at his departing back with tears in her eyes.
