first and second

=====

a few days later.

In the lobby of the Liu Mansion, Liu Wenchao was kneeling on the ground wearing only a thin undershirt. Several blood marks had already been branded on his back. The sweat from his temples dripped down his cheeks, and Liu Wenchao was trembling slightly.

Liu Mingxiao, who was at the side, sensed the seriousness of this incident, put away his playful smile, and knelt down together. Seeing this, Ling Ran also knelt down.

Liu Qingyuan, who was holding a long whip, raised his eyebrows upside down, and shouted angrily: "Get up, you two, or I will beat you too."

Liu Mingxiao moved forward on his knees, and said, "Father, brother is just recovering from a serious illness, so don't knock him out."

Liu Qingyuan flicked the long whip severely: "Ask your good brother, what has he done?"

"No matter what the elder brother did, you can't continue to beat him. He is the chief assistant kneeling on the ground and you beat him like this. If this news gets out, where will the face of the elder brother be placed?" Liu Mingxiao asked Ling Ran. one color.

Ling Ran smiled knowingly, and said, "Yes, uncle, brother, he still has injuries."

"Shut up, both of you," Liu Qingyuan pointed at Liu Wenchao with a long whip, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Explain what?" Liu Wenchao moved his numbed knee. This movement involved the whip wound on his back, and the pain caused him to gasp and gather his composure.

Liu Wenchao said: "Li Chengyun and I are what you heard and saw."

"You," Liu Qingyuan was so angry that he whipped him again: "So when did you start?"

Liu Wenchao gritted his teeth to hold back the pain: "Not long after he returned to the capital from Changping."

"Bastard!" Liu Qingyuan threw the long whip on the ground.

Liu Wenchao clenched his fists and asked, "Father, I don't understand. You once said before that you are willing to accept Yuzhi, why can't you change it to someone else?"

Liu Qingyuan cast a sideways glance at him: "Yu Zhi's friendship with you since he was a child is recognized by my father, and I also treat him like a half son, how can this be compared."

At this time, the butler came over and said, "The prince is here."

Liu Qingyuan hummed: "Get up, why are you still kneeling and letting others read our jokes?"

After Li Chengyun was led in, he saw Liu Wenchao whose back was covered in blood, and his heart ached.

Li Chengyun touched his hand, clapped it twice, and signaled that he would solve it.

Liu Qingyuan gave Liu Mingxiao a hard look. Li Chengyun must have sent someone to sue him for coming here.

Liu Mingxiao shrank his neck, who made him owe favors when he was in Shaozhou!

Liu Qingyuan has no official position, and was a well-known scholar when he was young. Later, he never passed the provincial examination, and then nothing happened.

Li Chengyun pondered for a moment, and said, "Old man, if it's convenient, I'd like to talk to you alone."

Liu Qingyuan didn't give him a good face, and he spoke with a gun and a stick: "I am an ordinary citizen without official and position, and I can't bear the title of Your Royal Highness, and I have nothing to talk to you about. The temple can't hold you squatting Buddha."

This is an order to evict him.

Liu Mingxiao took a step forward, handed the teacup on the table to him, and said in a low voice: "Father, he is the current crown prince and the future emperor, why has he ever been so angry? My son sees that he is sincere and wants to talk to you very much." , don't have such an attitude."

"What did you kid do to benefit him, to speak nice words to him." Liu Qingyuan placed the teacup heavily on the table.

Liu Mingxiao touched his nose: "He saved your son's life."

Liu Qingyuan stayed where he was in astonishment. He never expected such a thing to happen. He choked for a moment, looked at Li Chengyun heavily, and sighed heavily: "Come with me!"

Liu Mingxiao raised his chin in the direction of Li Chengyun, blinked and said, "How is it? I'm not reliable."

"Good brother," Li Chengyun patted Liu Mingxiao on the shoulder, and said, "You have made great achievements in rehabilitating the Tatars, and you haven't been rewarded yet. I will give you a title as a prince later on."

"Ah!" Liu Mingxiao was momentarily stunned.

Li Chengyun didn't care about him, turned around and said to Liu Wenchao: "Ji Rufeng told me that you were beaten by your father, but it made me panic to death. I galloped from the palace and still couldn't catch up. It was my fault, no. Accompanying you back home, I would rather this whip fall on me than you suffer this."

Hearing what he said, Liu Wenchao suddenly felt that the injury on his back didn't hurt at all, and he smiled: "I'm afraid someone in the palace will arrange for you soon, saying that His Royal Highness is galloping on horseback just to see his sweetheart."

"You still have the heart to make fun of me." Li Chengyun took out the plaster from his arms and handed it to him: "Go and put the plaster on first, I'll go find my father."

After Li Chengyun left, Liu Mingxiao stepped forward and said, "Brother, what are you standing here for? His Royal Highness has gone away."

Liu Wenchao turned his eyes back, and threw the plaster in his hand to him: "Come to my room and apply the medicine to me."

Liu Mingxiao shrugged at Ling Ran, spread his hands, and repeated Liu Wenchao's words with his lips.

Ling Ran smiled faintly: "Brother told you to go, so you go."

"Okay you! Turn your elbows outward," Liu Mingxiao put one hand around his waist, and kissed him quickly on the cheek: "Tonight I want to let you know how powerful I am."

Ling Ran's cheeks turned red as fast as he could see, even the tips of his ears turned red.

Seeing this, Liu Mingxiao was satisfied, and left with a snort!

In the study, Liu Qingyuan stood in front of the desk and did not sit down. When he saw Li Chengyun coming in, he asked straight-forwardly, "What did Ming Xiao say?"

Li Chengyun didn't sit down either, just stood face to face and finished talking about Shaozhou.

After Liu Qingyuan finished listening, his face was solemn, but he still said what he wanted to say: "Don't expect this, I will agree with you and Liu Wenchao."

"I didn't intend to use this matter to convince you," Li Chengyun said, "I want to know why you disagree with me and Qing Chuan, and what concerns do you have?"

Liu Qingyuan looked at him for the first time today, and then asked him to sit down and said: "Why do you insist on Liu Wenchao, you will be the emperor in the future, you can choose any woman in the world, even if it is a man, as long as you say a word, And no one dares to refuse."

"You are right, but since I met Qingchuan, I have never thought about others. The reason why I came back from Changping to take the position of the prince is all because I want to become stronger, strong enough to protect Qingchuan I don’t want him to worry about being with me.” After a pause, Li Chengyun went on to say, “I don’t know how to open the Sangong No. [-] Hospital, I only want Qingchuan, and this Jiangshan is my betrothal gift for him. Of course, I have contributed a lot to becoming the crown prince Qingchuan, so if he is willing to have this country, I will give it to him, and the dynasty can be changed according to his wishes."

After hearing this, Liu Qingyuan was shocked. He took several deep breaths before completely digesting the words, collected himself, and said, "Our Liu family doesn't do such outrageous things, so don't say such things in the future."

Li Chengyun said: "No matter what you say, his status will be equal to mine in the future. If you don't trust me, I'm just saying that I have already made a plan for him. I will seal Liu Mingxiao as Marquis of Wu'an. Give him thousands of miles of land, eat [-] households in the city, and give him the military power."

Liu Qingyuan understands that this is equivalent to giving Liu Wenchao a strong backing, a backing that can completely compete with Li Seungyun. Li Seungyun is putting his life in Liu Wenchao's hands, and giving Liu Wenchao the right to choose.

Just like putting a paper kite, that thread is always in Liu Wenchao's hands and under his control.

Liu Qingyuan sighed softly: "The emperor..."

Li Chengyun was silent for a moment, and said abruptly: "It's dead, I blocked the news."

This time Liu Qingyuan was completely stunned.

After waiting for a long time without seeing Liu Qingyuan speak, Li Chengyun stood up and said, "I don't know about Qing Chuan and I, what do you think?"

Li Chengyun's words brought Liu Qingyuan back to reality. He carefully looked at the tall young man in front of him. For the first time, he felt that he was really old. Maybe it was time to let go. Let the young people solve the young people's affairs, children and grandchildren I have my own children and grandchildren.

He glanced at the long whip behind him and asked, "What are you doing with the whip?"

Li Chengyun handed the whip in front of him and said: "As soon as I came in, I saw the bloody whip marks on Qingchuan's back. I really can't see him being injured. He was once hurt by me, and he still has a long scar on his back. Scar, I swore that I would never let him get hurt again, not even you, so if you feel that you haven’t given enough gas, you can slap me, I have rough skin and thick flesh, and I am not afraid of pain.”

Liu Qingyuan: "..."

"Take it back," Liu Qingyuan softened his tone: "You can put down your posture and do this for Wen Chao, and plan everything for him, which is enough to prove your heart for him. I will reconsider it. Today you Go back first! I think you rushed from the palace in a hurry, and you have delayed a lot of things, and you haven't enthroned yet, so don't let people gossip."

"I'll take it as your promise," Li Chengyun said with a smile: "I asked someone to bring you some Mingqian Longjing for you to try, and please accept it. By the way, I have a well-made fishing rod with a fishing reel on it." , is the latest one made by the craftsman, I will bring it to you some other day."

Liu Qingyuan remained calm on the face, but he couldn't hide it in his heart. This kid must have sent someone to inquire about my preferences. It must have been told to him by that bastard Liu Wenchao.

Liu Qingyuan stood up and sent him out, and said as he walked, "The old man, I thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengyun arched his hands and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, we are all one family, don't talk about two families."

Liu Wenchao and Liu Mingxiao, who had just received their medicines, happened to come across this scene. Liu Mingxiao intentionally teased Li Chengyun, and he yelled loudly, "Father, brother, should I change my name and call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's sister-in-law?"

Liu Qingyuan and Liu Wenchao: "..."

It seems to be quite reasonable.

Liu Mingxiao said again: "You can't let me call my eldest brother who has been called for more than [-] years my sister-in-law!"

Death stare from Lee Seung Yoon.

Mu Yu at the door reminded: "Governor, you can call Mrs. Liu the Crown Princess, or Empress Empress." Turning to Li Chengyun, he said, "Your Highness, do you think I'm right?"

Li Chengyun smiled gratifiedly: "You can choose one from the armory in the palace."
