Chapter 1112 Why Blame Others
"Wuji, you don't look happy?" Seeing that Changsun Wuji had a look of shock and grievance on his face, Emperor Li II couldn't help but said with a half-smile: "After all, she is still your niece's granddaughter, so why don't you show any appreciation?"
"Uh..." Upon hearing what His Majesty Li II said, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "At the beginning... whether it was His Royal Highness Prince Chu's wedding or Ruchu's birth, I prepared gifts, but unfortunately... all the gifts were returned by His Royal Highness Prince Chu..."
"Then you should look for the reason in yourself." His Majesty Li II raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, if you have nothing else to do, go back quickly. I still have many memorials to review, so I won't chat with you any more."
"Yes..." Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji quickly bowed and said, "I'll take my leave..."
"Yes." Emperor Li II nodded, then picked up the memorial on the table and began to deal with government affairs seriously.
"..." As Changsun Wuji turned around, he secretly glanced at His Majesty Li II out of the corner of his eye, and then he sighed silently in his heart.
The two had known each other since they were young, and it has been more than thirty years now. Changsun Wuji considers himself to be the person who knows Emperor Li II best.
But... but...
The Emperor’s heart is like an abyss…
Changsun Wuji, who had no idea why his majesty had suddenly changed his temper, had a lot of thoughts in his mind when he left Taiji Hall. He understood that his current situation was extremely difficult.
What went wrong?
"Yun Shang!" - Just as Changsun Wuji came out of the Taiji Hall and was about to go down the stairs, the voice of His Majesty Li II was heard from the hall behind him.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Go find me the best craftsman to frame this calligraphy and hang it in Ganlu Palace. I'm sure the Queen will like it."
"only."
"..." Zhang Sun Wuji listened to the conversation behind him. He tried to maintain a normal pace and walked in the square outside the Taiji Hall.
What does your Majesty mean by that last sentence?
Why mention the Queen?
"Duke Zhao? What's wrong with you? Why do you look so absent-minded?" - When Changsun Wuji stepped onto the imperial road, he hadn't walked far when he heard an unpleasant voice in his ear.
"It's you, kid?!" When Changsun Wuji looked up after hearing the voice, he saw Li Yifu, dressed in a scarlet official ceremonial uniform, standing not far away and looking at him with a smile.
"Duke Zhao." Li Yifu saw Zhangsun Wuji looking at him, so he casually bowed to him and said, "I am here to pass on a message to you from Lord Dou."
"What?" Zhang Sun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "Li Yifu, if I remember correctly, you are now the middle servant of the East Palace. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this job?"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Li Yifu blinked his eyes when he heard this: "I am now a retainer of the Dou family and receive a salary every month!"
"Okay, okay..." Changsun Wuji admired the sincerity of the young man in front of him: "You are so frank, it makes me look hypocritical."
"Duke Zhao, it's a good thing that you have such a clear understanding of yourself." Li Yifu said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Crown Prince or His Majesty about this?" Being contradicted by Li Yifu, Changsun Wuji, who was already in a bad mood, became even more irritable.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince knows my identity, and the reason why I am the Zhong Sheren is because of Lord Dou's instructions - in order to prevent Your Highness the Crown Prince from making mistakes that would implicate His Highness the Prince of Chu, that's why he let me sit in the East Palace." Li Yifu said, shaking his official robe arrogantly: "Even if you report it to His Majesty, His Majesty will have to praise our Dou family for being so particular!"
"It is quite particular..." Duke Zhao was already amused: "It's a pity that your family master is not particular."
"What are you talking about, Duke Zhao?!" Li Yifu's eyes widened suddenly upon hearing this, but then he changed his expression to one of knowing everything: "Oh...it seems that Duke Zhao has been treated coldly by His Majesty, and he really deserves it..."
"Boy, if you talk to me like this again, do you believe that I will make sure you don't live past tomorrow?!" Changsun Wuji was really angry this time.
"Duke Zhao, Duke Zhao..." Li Yifu didn't know what to say: "Do you think I'm afraid? Or do you think you can do it?"
"..." Zhang Sun Wuji was silent at first, then sneered: "Do you think... Li Kuan will turn against me for you?"
"Duke Zhao, I guarantee it." Upon hearing this, Li Yifu smiled and said, "I am confident of this."
"Where does your confidence come from..." Chang Sun Wuji couldn't help but sneer, "It can't be that Dou Shilun gave it to you, right?"
"Duke Zhao... I really didn't expect that you would become such a waste!" Li Yifu looked at the famous Duke Zhao in front of him, and he was really disappointed: "You and I are both his Majesty's subjects, and I am an official of the Eastern Palace. Even if you, Duke Zhao, are a royal relative, can you take my life with just two mouths?
I don't believe it." Li Yifu said this, and seeing that Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed anger and murderous intent. He immediately stepped forward and stretched his head in front of Changsun Wuji: "Come, Duke Zhao, come this way?"
"You bastard! You're really going too far!" Changsun Wuji was a decent man for most of his life, but now he was forced to this point by a young man, and this was the second time. So he immediately punched the other person on the head in anger.
"Shh!"
Changsun Wuji threw a punch, and then the world turned upside down.
"boom!"
"Oh... Duke Zhao, why are you so careless that you even fall down while walking?" When Zhang Nan's voice floated from above his head, Changsun Wuji, who was already dizzy from the fall, regained consciousness in an instant.
Li Yifu, you wolf cub! How dare you play tricks on me?!
"Duke Zhao? Duke Zhao? Are you okay..." Li Yifu really didn't expect that Zhang Nan, the chief eunuch, would act so quickly... and so cruelly!
"..." Zhang Sun Wuji was lying on the ground, his chest rising and falling violently. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the two concerned faces above his head: "You two, very good... Especially you! Zhang Nan! You are a traitor! I will report to His Majesty right now-"
"——What are you reporting, Duke Zhao..." Zhang Nan heard the other party's words, and his face was still a humble smile: "You fell down accidentally while walking, how can you blame others?"
