Chapter 1866: Getting Beaten for No Reason
Chapter 1866: Getting Beaten for No Reason
At this moment, the setting sun shines through the trees in the mountains onto the earth, giving people a refreshing feeling.
On the way out of Cuiwei Palace, Li Shen held Lu Dingniang's hand, admiring the scenery and slowly walking towards the palace gate.
After finishing his negotiations with Li Shimin, Li Shen chose to leave, even though Empress Changsun repeatedly tried to keep him and asked him to finish his dinner before leaving.
Li Shen shook his head and politely declined, saying he had something important to do.
He didn't want to stay with his father anymore. It was not fun at all. He was always worried about being plotted against.
Regarding the matter of Pei Mingli, Li Shimin finally took a step back and let Li Shen talk to Pei Mingli himself.
If Pei Mingli agreed, Li Shimin would not stop him and would transfer Pei Mingli to work in the Prince Ji's Palace.
But if Pei Mingli disagrees, Li Shen must not pester him, and must not use despicable means to coerce or bribe Pei Mingli.
Finally, the father and son reached an agreement.
"Hey? Ma'am, did we forget to take something?"
Holding his wife, Li Shen suddenly felt something was wrong.
"I don't think so, my dear. Aren't the things we took all for His Majesty and the Queen?"
After hearing this, Lu Dingniang thought about it and then shook her head.
Li Shen looked around, then looked back.
"Oh, my lady, we forgot Xixi and Yangyang in Cuiwei Palace."
He felt like something was missing, and it took him a long time to remember that he had brought his child with him.
He said he felt something was wrong and why it was so quiet. It turned out that the noise from his daughter was missing.
On the way here, my daughter was chattering, asking questions and was curious about everything.
"Haha, don't worry, my dear, I haven't forgotten, it's just that the Queen left Xixi and Yangyang in Cuiwei Palace.
I want them to stay there for a few days to accompany the Queen Mother and my mother.
Don’t worry, my dear.”
Seeing Li Shen's expression, Lu Dingniang chuckled and said.
"Oh, I see. Then let the two children stay there for a few more days. Otherwise, mother and the imperial concubine will have no one to accompany them.
Your Majesty is busy with singing and dancing all day long, and his heart is entirely focused on those young and beautiful new lovers. How can he have time to accompany his mother and his mother-in-law?
As a man, I naturally understand these things, and it seems that my father is no exception and likes...”
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Just as Li Shen was speaking excitedly, Wang De, who was leading the way, coughed vigorously a few times.
"Old King, if you are sick, stay away from me and don't pass the disease on to me."
Li Shen rolled his eyes and shouted at Wang De mercilessly.
Wang De looked at Li Shen helplessly and said:
"Oh, my Lord, you can't criticize the king, this is a heinous crime.
If His Majesty hears this, the prince will be beaten again."
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by being beaten again? I haven't done anything wrong in a long time."
Li Shen frowned.
"I spoke out of turn. I was only reminding Your Highness because I was afraid that Your Highness would be punished." Wang De apologized quickly.
But Li Shen felt as if he was avoiding something.
"My dear, please calm down. Steward Wang is just afraid that you will be punished." Lu Dingniang, who was standing by, also donated.
Li Shen stared at Wang De for a while before he asked:
"Old Wang, you and I have some friendship, tell me honestly, what happened when I was drunk just now?
What did the King say? "
He kept trying to figure out what he had done when he just lost his memory.
Am I talking nonsense?
He was not afraid of anything else, but what he feared most was that he would tell others about his time travel.
If Li Shimin then burns me as a demon and offers sacrifice to the gods, then it would be a miserable death for a time traveler like me.
A smile appeared on Wang De's face, as if he was recalling something interesting.
Li Shen saw it and urged:
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Your Highness, it's nothing, it's just that the prince wanted to exchange the tea table for Pei Mingli, but His Majesty disagreed, so the prince said His Majesty disagreed and wanted the tea table back.
Then His Majesty refused, and the prince began to argue with His Majesty. "Wang De explained with a smile.
"What? There is such a thing?" Li Shen was extremely surprised. No wonder his father asked him if he wanted to exchange the tea table for Pei Mingli.
It turned out that I was the one who said it out.
"And then? What happened afterwards? Did the King say anything else?"
Li Shen asked anxiously.
"My Lord, there is nothing else. Then the Lord fell asleep."
Wang De said lightly.
Li Shen said "oh" and continued to walk forward with Lu Dingniang. After leaving Cuiwei Palace, Li Shen got on the carriage and went back to Prince Ji's Mansion.
After returning, Li Shen ordered people to prepare for a bath and change of clothes. The smell of alcohol made him feel very uncomfortable.
His whole body ached as he took off his clothes, and Li Shen secretly vowed never to drink so much again.
"Hiss~~~~" When Li Shen took off all his clothes and prepared to enter the bathtub, he felt a slight pain in his buttocks.
"Mei Niang, please take a look at what's wrong with my butt." Li Shen touched it with his hand and felt a little painful, so he quickly asked Wu Meiniang to help take a look.
"Oh, Prince, are you injured? Why is it all red and swollen?" Wu Meiniang checked and found that Li Shen's buttocks were red and swollen.
"Really?" Li Shen came to the big mirror and took a closer look. It was indeed the case. There were marks not only on the buttocks, but also on the thighs and back.
But he didn't hit anything.
After watching for a while, Li Shen suddenly shouted:
"Damn! These are marks of being beaten." The more Li Shen looked at them, the more familiar they looked. With his many years of experience of being beaten, he knew that these were clearly marks caused by being whipped with a ruler or something like that.
That's why they are listed one by one.
"But Your Majesty, who beat him? And it was done without Your Majesty's knowledge."
Lu Dingniang also took a look. There was no news that Li Shen was beaten today. He was fine during the meal.
"Who else could it be? My Ayebe, he must have taken advantage of me being drunk and beat me, so I didn't know about it.
I was wondering why my whole body ached after drinking. So this is the reason.
This is too unethical. Taking advantage of someone's misfortune, taking advantage of the fire, and taking advantage of the opportunity.
Please help me check if there are any other scars."
Li Shen no longer had any words to describe his current mood. Is this still something a human would do?
He actually took advantage of my blackout to beat me up. What did I just say to make Lao Li so angry?
It’s a pity that old man Wang De didn’t tell me.
After several women examined him, they found that Li Shen had no other scars except on his thighs, buttocks, and back.
It seemed that Li Shen was beaten back, but because Li Shen was drunk, he didn't feel it at all.
"Ah~~~~~ This is outrageous. I am so angry. This beating was done for no apparent reason. It really infuriates me."
