"Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. The people outside are spontaneously kneeling on the ground and cheering Long live the emperor!"

Li Ji spoke drunkenly, then picked up the wine jar and poured the last bit of the wine into his stomach. The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, but he was completely unaware.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde had already fallen asleep on the wine table, their snoring louder than the other, one after another.

When Li Shimin heard what Li Ji said, his originally tense heartstrings immediately relaxed. He patted his chest, a proud look on his face, and said to Li Ji.

"Did you see that? Isn't today the day I'm buried in Zhaoling Mausoleum? The people are spontaneously bowing to my coffin, right?"

He paused, his eyes twinkling.

"I knew I was a good emperor!"

While he was happy, Li Shimin reached out and opened a jar of unopened new wine.

He lifted the jar of wine, tilted his head back and gulped down two mouthfuls. The wine spilled on his clothes, but he didn't care.

"Li Ji, do you think that Cheng Qian can do better than me?"

Li Shimin burped and asked with a drunken face.

Li Ji shook his head, trying to sober himself up, but the strong sense of drunkenness was still with him.

"Of course, Your Majesty! The Crown Prince can certainly do better than you! Look at the people outside, aren't they all spontaneously shouting, 'Long Live Your Majesty!'"

Because Li Ji was drunk, he didn't hear clearly what Li Shimin said before, and just answered instinctively.

Li Shimin said dazedly: "Can you do better than me? What a joke? Haha, just look outside and you will know the people's feelings about me..."

As he spoke, he seemed to regain some clarity, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Li Ji, you just said that the people outside are shouting 'Long Live the Emperor'. Who is this Emperor?"

Li Shimin opened his eyes hard, his eyes were bloodshot, he hoped to hear an answer that would be favorable to him from Li Ji.

Li Ji's eyes were already closed, and he slurred, "Your Majesty, you're so funny! Of course I'm calling you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

He yawned.

"Aside from the few of us who know that Your Majesty is not dead! Who else outside knows? Hehehe!"

After saying this, Li Ji could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

When Li Shimin heard Li Ji's words, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of displeasure.

He looked at Li Ji falling asleep and angrily pointed at him and laughed: "Li Ji, you are just like them, you can't hold your liquor. You are drunk, drunk!"

There was a hint of helplessness in his laughter.

"They've all started talking nonsense!"

Finally, Li Shimin could no longer resist the overwhelming drunkenness and fell asleep on the wine table...

After a busy day from morning till night, Fang Xuanling felt like a dead tree drained of moisture, exhausted. He dragged his body, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, step by step towards the Duke of Ying's mansion.

He now had only one thought in his mind, which was to go home immediately and have a good sleep.

But there is no other way. I have to find an excuse to tell my family when I come to see His Majesty.

But his recent affairs are indeed as numerous as the stars in the sky, too numerous to count.

He came to the Duke of Ying's mansion just to bring the imperial edict of Li Ji's expedition to His Majesty, and also to find an excuse to go out from Lu. It was really killing two birds with one stone, but only he knew the hardship involved.

As soon as Fang Xuanling arrived at the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, he was taken directly to the side room by the servants of the Mansion.

The servant didn't know who was in the side room, but the Duke had instructed that if the Prime Minister came, he should be brought directly to the side room.

After the servant left, Fang Xuanling carefully pushed open the door.

Looking at this scene, Fang Xuanling, who had worked hard all day, almost felt like the sky was falling.
