Chapter 2695 Worth 1 Strings of Cash
The main reason for the death was that the deceased was a highly accomplished monk who hanged himself in his meditation room, which left people very curious.
However, the authorities handled the matter quickly; it was determined that he had hanged himself, without any explanation. The people in the temple also remained silent, so the matter quickly faded away.
The reason Li Chengqian remembered was because he needed prestige at that time, and someone suggested that he investigate.
"I don't know." Li Shen shook his head directly. He couldn't say anything about this, otherwise it would be considered leaking royal secrets, which would be a scandal.
"You really don't know?" Judging from Li Shen's expression, Li Chengqian immediately guessed that it must be related to Li Shen.
He asked the question casually, but it turned out to be a lucky coincidence.
Li Shen did not answer, but kept glancing at Li Shimin with his eyes.
"Alright, I ordered the Tenth Prince to do this. You don't need to know the reason. Anyway, it wasn't a good thing. It's all in the past now."
Ultimately, it was Li Shimin who spoke up, and Li Chengqian stopped asking questions.
He was just a monk, not some important figure, and to Li Chengqian he was nothing more than a source of amusement.
"Tenth Prince, remember what I just told you. Don't do anything so risky, or I won't be able to protect you."
If it really comes to that, I won't just watch you get hurt.
Li Shimin got back to the main point; he had to remind this rebellious son not to act recklessly. The two schemes he mentioned were increasingly ruthless, harming not only the enemy but also himself.
"Does Father mean he'll help me pay off the debt?" Li Shen's eyes lit up.
"I'm lending you money to pay off your debts, not helping you pay them off. You still have to return the money to me."
Li Shimin quickly corrected himself, feeling somewhat regretful. He shouldn't have said it so soon; hadn't that made him think about him?
He just didn't want Li Shen to resort to desperate measures.
"Hahaha, Father is so good to his son, he's such a good father to his son." Li Shen laughed happily and immediately went over to hug his father and act cute.
"Get out of my way, stay away from me, Gao Ming, quickly pull him away."
Li Shimin held Li Shen's head with one hand while trying to kick Li Shen away, who was sticking to him like a plaster.
This guy is always so smug and arrogant. Of his dozen or so sons, none of them would dare to be as unruly as this rebellious son.
Li Chengqian quickly grabbed Li Shen by the collar and pulled him back, but Li Shen clung to his father's arm, insisting on sticking close to him.
The entire carriage was shaking, and the guards outside were watching the carriage nervously. If Wang De hadn't stopped Li An, he would have rushed in long ago.
In Wang De's view, even though His Majesty is old, it would still be easy for him to beat his two sons. They had already been searched before getting into the carriage and found no weapons.
With his bare hands, His Majesty could beat them both as easily as beating his sons.
Of the two princes, only the Crown Prince has some fighting ability. Prince Ji's fighting ability is almost zero. The difference between those who have been on the battlefield and those who haven't is too great.
After a long commotion, Li Shen finally gave up due to exhaustion and leaned against the carriage, panting heavily.
This was even with Li Chengqian not exerting much force; otherwise, it would have been over long ago.
"You unfilial son, has your brain disease flared up again?" Li Shimin straightened the wrinkles in his clothes caused by Li Shen's grip, scolding him with annoyance.
"Big brother, are you crazy? You almost strangled me to death." Li Shen gasped for breath, clutching his collar.
"Tenth Brother, why are you acting like a mad dog? I can't hold you back even without using my strength," Li Chengqian replied helplessly.
Today he finally got to participate in the game between the father and son, and it was indeed a different experience.
His father was such a serious man, yet he was joking around with Li Shen like this. If he were to do the same, he would probably have slapped himself a few times already.
His father's doting on Li Shen was truly excessive.
"These clothes of mine are very expensive. Look at the mess you made of them!" Li Shimin glared at his spendthrift son. Today, for convenience, he was also dressed in a close-fitting outfit, not his dragon robe.
"Father, this is a dress I sent to the palace. It's from Tangyifang, a limited edition worldwide. There's only one in the world, and it costs one million strings of cash."
If Father likes it, I'll make another one and send it to the palace.
Li Shen said dismissively.
"One million strings of cash? Why don't you say ten million strings of cash?" Li Shimin smiled sarcastically after hearing this.
Good heavens, what kind of nonsense is this? A million strings of cash? Are you trying to rob me?
Li Chengqian was also somewhat shocked as he looked at his father's clothes, unable to discern anything expensive about them.
It's just that the style is relatively novel and somewhat similar to Hu clothing, but it lacks the splendor of silk.
"Father, this is a limited edition item, there's only one in the world, its rarity goes without saying."
This is the latest style from my Tangyi Workshop, named "Emperor." The material is soft and delicate, specially made for martial arts training.
Li Shen proudly introduced it.
"So you're saying that my dragon robe is also a limited edition, with each one being different, and there's only one in the entire world. I haven't heard of anyone having a second one yet."
"Does that also mean something worth a million strings of cash?" Li Shimin asked with a half-smile.
"Uh..." Li Shen was immediately choked by Li Shimin's flower.
Indeed, no one else has ever worn a dragon robe before, mainly because they are not lucky enough to survive; wearing one once could mean the death of their entire family.
Even Li Chengqian's robe wasn't called a dragon robe, but rather the crown prince's ceremonial robe.
You really can't refute that; what they said is true.
"Well... that seems to be a valid interpretation." Li Shen could only nod in agreement, forcing a smile.
Li Shimin immediately smiled:
"Then I'll sell you one. It's the one I wore when I ascended the throne. It's a bit too small for me now, but judging from your build, you should be able to fit into it."
"I won't ask for much more; you only need to give me 800,000 strings of cash."
“That…” Li Shen almost cursed, “He’s about the same size as me, and he only needs 800,000 guan.”
I wouldn't dare wear this piece of junk even if I bought it. You might be fine, but Li Chengqian would probably send me to the Arctic.
This old man is sometimes too ruthless. He's shameless for money. He just said he didn't need to die, but now he wants to die himself. He's so unreliable.
"What? You think it's too expensive? This was made in a rush when I ascended the throne; it's the only one of its kind in the world." Li Shimin's eyes were practically crescent-shaped; he was overjoyed.
"I...I...I can't afford it. Father, my eldest brother is the Crown Prince, it fits him perfectly, why don't you sell it to him?"
Li Shen kept shaking his head. He wasn't going to be a fool and buy a dragon robe to keep at home. He could buy one cheaply as a collectible, but this was too expensive—800,000 strings of cash!
Li Shen is truly insane to spend 800,000 strings of cash to buy a piece of clothing to keep at home.
