Chapter 89: Unliterate

After Li Jie finished the Military Weapon Bureau, it was getting late, but he took advantage of the last moment to drive to the palace and then say goodbye to Zhu Biao. Although the two met almost every day, as prospective son-in-law, he had to formally say goodbye to his elders when he went out.

"Everything is ready. Is there anything I need to help?" Zhu Biao summoned Li Jie in Wenhua Palace and asked as soon as he met.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I have prepared everything. I believe there is no problem with the Duke of Trustee," Li Jie replied.

"That's good!" Zhu Biao nodded when he heard this, and then thought of something, so he asked with concern, "I forgot to ask you yesterday, where did your father hit you, and whether you were seriously injured?"

"My chest was just black yesterday. I slept for a while and it started to swollen, but it didn't get in the way." Li Jie replied truthfully.

"My father is still merciless. He threw things away and you were very weak. You must be very injured now. Open me and take a look!" Zhu Biao also stood up and said.

When Li Jie heard Zhu Biao say that he was thin, he looked at Zhu Biao's fat body speechlessly. He couldn't help but guess in his heart that our Crown Prince wouldn't be so fat to bear the beating, right?

Zhu Biao wanted to see Li Jie's injury, but Li Jie was not willing to refuse, so he opened his collar and exposed his swollen chest. He saw that his chest was swollen, which was a little black in red. After all, the inkstone was made of stone and weighed heavier than a brick.

"The injury is really serious!" Zhu Biao also showed sympathy when he saw Li Jie's injury. Then he reached out and searched through his sleeves for a few times. Finally, he took out a small box and stuffed it into Li Jie's hand and said, "You can apply this injury medicine back and apply it. It will be restored to the original state in two days after swelling in three days!"

Li Jie looked at the wounded medicine in his hand, but his eyes were strange, and then he said in disbelief: "Your Highness is carrying the wounded medicine with you?"

"I used to it, so I took it with you just in case!" Zhu Biao actually reached out and patted Li Jie on the shoulder, and his face showed a look of being sympathetic.

Li Jie was speechless when he heard this. What kind of emperor would force the prince to carry the medicine with him? I am afraid that this old Zhu and his son can also set a record of the best in history.

"Thank you Your Highness to care, I will leave!" Li Jie politely said to Zhu Biao with gratitude. There is no way to continue talking about this day, otherwise it will become a meeting for their father-in-law and son-in-law to exchange experiences for being beaten.

"Go, go back and spend more time with your parents. During your absence, I will ask someone to take care of them for you!" Zhu Biao patted Li Jie's shoulder again and said, and after that, he personally sent him out of Wenhua Palace.

It's another new day. Although the Jinyiwei stopped arresting people, the people in the capital were still panic. The one who felt the deepest was the high-ranking officials and nobles in the city. For example, the Korean Gong Mansion, which usually queued up to give gifts, is now neglected in front of the door. After all, most people are worried about whether they will be implicated by Hu Zhuo, and their lives will almost be lost. How can they still have the mood to give gifts?

In the study room of the Korean Duke's mansion, Li Shanchang was practicing calligraphy with a brush in his hand, but today he couldn't calm down and felt dissatisfied with writing a few words. Finally, he simply threw down his pen and picked up the book, but he couldn't read it anyway.

Li Shanchang knew about the ups and downs outside, but he didn't think it would involve him. After all, when Hu Weiyong died ten years ago, he was not involved as the person who promoted Hu Weiyong, let alone now.

What really upset Li Shanchang was that Li Jie, the grandson he once dismissed, never dreamed that in just a few months, his grandson had made so many shocking actions, and now he was even crowned as the son-in-law.

Originally, a mere son-in-law was nothing to Li Shanchang, but the key was that most of his children and grandchildren were mediocre. Otherwise, he would not have vigorously promoted Hu Weiyong, an outsider. Now, he finally had a talent among his grandsons, but he had a quarrel with him again. Whenever he thought of this, Li Shanchang felt a little stuffy in his chest.

What annoyed Li Shanchang even more was that yesterday he asked his son Li Qi to go to Li Jie to visit the mansion in person. As an elder, it seems that it is enough for him to do this to his grandson. According to common sense, Li Jie should come at least once. Then he will say a few soft words, and the little grudge between his grandparents and grandchildren can be turned on.

What's abominable is that Li Jie actually rejected his kindness and refused to inspect the coastal defense. He didn't have time to come to see him. The more Li Shanchang thought about this, he became more and more angry. Even if he didn't have time, should you say goodbye to your grandfather when you left Beijing? As a result, he waited for a day, but Li Jie did not come to visit him.

With a "bang~", Li Shanchang threw the book in his hand on the table, then walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back several times. After a while, the anger in his heart slowly subsided.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong~" But at this moment someone knocked on the door, and then Li Qi's voice came, "Father, I have something to report!"

"Come in!" Li Shanchang took a deep breath, calmed down his mood before speaking.

Li Qi pushed open the door and walked in, then closed the door, then came to Li Shanchang and bowed: "Father, my third brother just sent a letter, saying that it was written to you before Li Jie left!"

Li Qi said that, taking out Li Jie's letter from his arms. When he received the letter, he was very curious and even wanted to open it to see what Li Jie would write to his father. However, in the end he suppressed his curiosity and came to see his father as soon as possible.

Li Shanchang was stunned when he saw this letter. Will Li Jie actually write to him? Did he really have no time to see him or it is not convenient to see him, so he sent this letter?

"Father, do you want me to open it for you?" Li Qi asked when he saw that his father did not answer the letter.

"No need!" Li Shanchang said, taking the letter, tearing open the envelope and pulling out the letter paper inside.

However, when Li Shanchang saw the contents of the letter, his whole body suddenly froze. Then he slapped the letter on the table and said furiously: "How dare you insult me!"

Li Qi was also scared and his whole body shivered. Then he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Don't calm down! What did Li Jie write in the letter?"

"You can see it yourself!" Li Shanchang threw the letter on Li Qi in anger.

Li Qi rushed to the letter. When he saw the content on the letter, he was also stunned. Only four big words were written on the letter: "I don't know the truth!"

"What a companion to study in the East Palace. Now that his wings are hard, he dares to be disrespectful to me. Don't think that if you become a prince consort, I can't do anything to you!" Li Shan said again with a stern expression. The extreme anger made his chest fluctuate violently. I'm afraid that even anger could not swallow his breath by being scolded like this by his own grandson.

"Father is wrong. The four words Li Jie are probably not scolding you, right?" But at this time, Li Qi spoke with a letter. He was very angry when he saw these four words, but soon felt something was wrong.

"Why is it wrong? Is he not scolding me, but using these four words to praise me?" Li Shanchang said angrily again. If Li Zhu is here, he would have to slap him a few more times to see the good son he taught!

"Father, this is definitely not scolding you!" Li Qi pondered for a moment but said affirmatively again, "Think about it, even if Li Jie wants to scold you, why did he write these four words without any brainstorm?"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what he is thinking. The so-called ignorance is actually just a roundabout way to scold me for being blind and driving him out of the house?" Li Shanchang was angry and couldn't listen to his son's analysis at all. Instead, he forced an explanation, regardless of whether it was reasonable or not.

"This..." Li Qi wanted to explain to Li Jie, but looking at his father's angry look, he probably couldn't listen at all now, which made Li Qi look helpless.

However, just when Li Shanchang was furious, he suddenly saw a man breaking in in a panic. When he saw Li Shanchang, he immediately shouted: "Father, something is wrong, cousin... I just got arrested!"

The one who ran in was Li Shanchang's second son, Li Li. However, when he saw his father's angry expression, he was also shocked, and the voice behind him became weaker.

"How was it like a panic?" Li Shanchang was not angry when he saw anyone, and immediately scolded him angrily, and then asked again, "Tell me clearly, who was arrested?"

"Cousin! It's cousin Ding Bin. The whole family of Ding was taken away by the Jinyiwei, saying that he also participated in Hu Weiyong's rebellion!" Li Li immediately told the news he had just received.

When Li Shanchang heard that Ding Bin was arrested, he didn't care about being angry. Ding Bin was his sister's son, that is, his nephew. Because Ding Bin's mother died early, Li Shanchang kept him by his side and said he was a nephew, but in fact he was no different from his son.

"Father, my cousin must be wronged, you can't ignore it!" Li Li said again at this time. Ding Bin is not only his cousin, but also his son also married Ding Bin's daughter. Both parties are close and have a very close relationship.

However, just as Li Li finished speaking, he suddenly saw Li Qi next to him screaming suddenly, and then said to Li Shanchang with ecstasy expressions: "Father, I understand, it turns out that Li Jie means this!"

Li Shanchang was stunned again when he heard this, and then he thought of the four words "I don't know Ding". Could it be that the word "Ding" in these four words actually imply Ding Bin? In other words, Li Jie's letter was not scolding him, but telling him to ignore Ding Bin's affairs!

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang also snatched Li Jie's letter and looked at the four words "I don't know Ding" for a long time. If Li Jie really means this, how did he know that Ding Bin was arrested? Also, why didn't he let himself take care of Ding Bin?

"Isn't Li Jie leaving Beijing today? When will he leave?" Li Shanchang suddenly asked Li Qi after pondering for a long time.

"I left early this morning. It is said that Duke Xin urged him to leave!" Li Qi replied immediately, and then he realized a problem. Li Jie left early this morning, but Ding Bin had just been arrested. According to the third brother Li Zhu, Li Jie's letter was written yesterday. Did Li Jie know that Ding Bin would be arrested yesterday?

Li Shanchang was also considering this issue. When Li Jie left, Ding Bin had not been arrested. The Jinyiwei had always been secretive in his actions. Li Jie could not know in advance unless he had the ability to predict the future.

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang suddenly felt that this grandson who was kicked out of the house seemed to have become very mysterious, which made him feel like he couldn't see through it. But did he really want to follow Li Jie's reminder and ignore his nephew Ding Bin's affairs?
