When Li Jiancheng woke up, he found that Shen Luoyan and the Hongfu woman were gone.

At this moment, he was lying on the bench at the main seat of the main hall, and his wife Zheng Guanyin was kneeling beside him, watching over him.

"Are you awake? Do you feel better?"

Seeing that her husband was awake, Zheng Guanyin asked with concern.

In fact, she did not go back to rest, but stayed outside the main hall. After Shen Luoyan left, she came in to take care of her husband.

Because there were a lot of things that had to be kept secret, I didn't help my husband back, let alone let anyone come in, and he stayed here to take care of me.

“Much better!”

Sitting up and holding his wife in his arms, Li Jiancheng thought a lot.

"How do you think we will live in Huaguo from now on?"

After his thoughts calmed down, Li Jiancheng asked softly.

Originally he was very ambitious, but the secrets he knew before, especially the existence of fate and heaven, made him deeply aware of how deep the water in this world is.

With his small body, he couldn't even get out of the waves if he fell into it, and he was also tired.

It's really meaningless to fight to the death with his brother here. The most important thing is that he will most likely lose. After all, that is true defiance of fate.

He is not the taboo man and has no chance of winning.

If you want to survive, you can only seek refuge in Huaguo.

In the face of his own life and the safety of his wife and children, he could only choose to surrender and accept his fate.

"Um!"

Zheng Guanyin nodded and rested her head on her husband's shoulder.

She is a woman without much opinion. She does whatever her husband says and doesn't want to pay attention to those annoying things.

Moreover, she has longed for Huaguo for a long time. She heard that it can make people live forever and stay young forever. It is not a loss to go there.

Before the couple could stay together for a long time, there was a rush of footsteps.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the second young master came to visit and he was the only one."

The guard's voice sounded outside the hall, making Li Jiancheng's eyes narrow.

The second brother was a little crazier than he thought. Did he think he was sure to win?

"Bring him here and bring in some food and wine."

After giving the order in a deep voice, Li Jiancheng wanted to see what the second brother had to say when he came over.

"I'll go to the back."

Zheng Guanyin got up and walked to the back hall of the main hall to wait. As for the dishes here before, she had already cleaned them up.

Not long after, Li Shimin walked into the hall at a scurrying pace and looked up at the good brother sitting on the main seat.

The two brothers looked at each other like swords fighting each other, making the atmosphere in the hall gradually become dull.

It wasn't until the maid came in with food and wine that the two brothers looked away.

After a while, the two brothers sat across the table, but the atmosphere was still dull, even with a hint of murderous intent.

"Did you arrange the ambush on me?"

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Shimin stared straight at his brother opposite.

He had many purposes for coming here today, and he also had many doubts in his mind that needed to be answered by this elder brother.

"I gave the order, but it wasn't an ambush. I didn't want your life."

After also drinking a glass of wine, Li Jiancheng replied calmly.

Although he fought with this second brother, he never thought of harming his life, at least not at that time.

"What are your orders?"

Li Shimin asked coldly.

He believed that this eldest brother was not lying to deceive him at this moment, because it was no longer necessary, and he, Li Shimin, already had an absolute advantage.

He won and the elder brother lost, so there is no point in deceiving at this time.

"I want something from you, something that can make you lose the threat to me."

As Li Jiancheng spoke, he glanced at the lower part of Li Shimin's abdomen. Li Shimin instinctively tightened his legs and his eyes widened.

"You are so cruel!"

Gritting his teeth and swearing, Li Shimin didn't expect that his brother was so cruel that he wanted to castrate him.

But this is indeed a good idea. As long as you cut off your descendants, you will completely lose the ability to compete for that position.

No one would support a eunuch becoming emperor.

"Otherwise? Kill you? That will only arouse my father's disgust and fear, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Ignoring the angry look, Li Jiancheng took a piece of hot food and stuffed it into his mouth. The food on the previous table was mainly eaten by Tian Hao and the demon girl. He didn't even take a few bites, and drank all the food.

.

Although no matter how much you drink, you will be fine, but you will always feel uncomfortable alone. At this time, eating a few mouthfuls of hot food will be much better.

As for him, he really never thought about killing his second brother at the beginning. After all, Yang Guang's experience of killing his brother and killing his father was there. If he really wanted to ruthlessly kill his second brother, what would his father think?

"But those people from the Yingui sect were trying to kill me at that time."

His eyes were still cold, Li Shimin was still worried about what happened back then.

If it hadn't been for that ambush, Wu Gu would not have met that man and been taken away by him.

How could he endure such shame and humiliation?

That's why I came over alone to question him, wanting to understand everything inside.

"The reputation of Momen is not very good, and I am still hesitant to formally cooperate with them."

Li Jiancheng didn't answer the question and said something wonderful and wonderful, but it made Li Shimin's face change slightly and he began to think silently.

"Is there anyone else? Yuanji?"

Asked in a deep voice, Li Shimin then thought of his younger brother Li Yuanji who had been ignored.

"No one born in the Li family will be easy. The fate of our brothers has been doomed for a long time."

With a sigh, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but look at his second brother's hair crown. He always felt that it was glowing green, and it was still green.

I can't help but feel pity, this is also a poor baby!

Li Shimin saw the compassion in his elder brother's eyes, but couldn't figure out why.

However, he kept that younger brother Li Yuanji in mind. Regardless of whether what Li Jiancheng said today was true or false, that younger brother did need to be taken seriously.

This kind of operation is also easy to understand. In one sentence, it is like a snipe and a clam competing for the fisherman's profit. If he and his eldest brother both withdraw, the only one left will naturally be Li Yuanji, who is also his father's legitimate son.

"What about Li Jing?"

When asked again, Li Shimin was very angry about the Li Jing incident. Not only did he lose a helper, but he also gained a powerful enemy. This mess made him want to scold his mother.

"Don't blame me for everything. I'm not as unscrupulous as you think."

Li Jiancheng glared dissatisfiedly, not wanting to take the blame for this matter.

Seeing this, Li Shimin remained silent. In fact, he had already guessed that the Li Jing incident was led by his father, and that his eldest brother Li Jiancheng was just a sword chosen by his father.

This is the so-called imperial power, but it is a pity that my father failed.

"How long has it been since we brothers sat down and drank together?"

Suddenly sighing again, Li Jiancheng looked at the sky outside the palace door and thought about it carefully. It had been a long time since the brothers had sat together.

Li Shimin remained silent and felt quite complicated inside.

Yes, how long has it been since we sat together?

"You must understand the hidden dangers of the second son's succession. How are you going to resolve them?"

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and Li Jiancheng wanted to see what kind of answer this second brother could give.
