Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 333: Breaking the Promise

In the middle of winter, the prince's mansion actually has green vegetables to eat. Although they are wilted and not very fresh, they are much better than those stored vegetables that taste like cotton wool.

It is indeed good to be born in the royal family. In such weather, fresh vegetables are more precious than gold.

There are four people around the hot pot. The scene is not unfamiliar. When they were in Qing'an Mansion, the two royal nobles came to his place for free meals. This time they can finally come back.

The extra little princess never mentioned returning to the palace early. She carefully blew the meat rolls that had just been fished out to cool them down. After dipping them in the unique ingredients, she slowly put them into her mouth, with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Why did you come to the capital?" Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked.

"I have some things to do. I will leave in a few days." Li Yi picked up some cooked vegetables with a public chopstick and put them in the bowl, answering casually.

Li Xuan had already asked this question once, and it was quite complicated to explain. It was better to explain it to her and finish the meal early and go home.

Li Mingzhu said again: "The Heavenly Punishment has been used in the army. We will know the power in a few days."

Li Yi had no interest in the Heavenly Punishment at all. She felt a little depressed. Why did a princess of a country pay attention to these fighting and killing all day long? Besides, she had seen the power of that thing. There was no doubt that in this cold weapon era, whichever country Jingguo used gunpowder against would be in trouble.

"What Heavenly Punishment?" Li Yi was not interested. Someone was interested. Li Xuan pricked up his ears and asked with a gossipy face.

"You will know in a few days." Li Yi took out the last piece of cooked meat roll from the pot, which made the little girl opposite him look at each other angrily.

The matter of Heavenly Punishment could not be concealed. At most in half a month, once Jingguo won a great victory and the army returned to the court, this supreme weapon for attacking the city and breaking the enemy would be known to everyone.

"Once Heaven Punishment has made great contributions, the emperor will definitely reward you greatly." Li Mingzhu continued.

"What?" Li Yi paused, looked up at her, and asked, "Why reward me?"

Then he realized something, pointed at her with a look of grief and indignation, and said, "You are not trustworthy!"

"It's not me." Li Mingzhu shook her head and said, "I only found out later, but the emperor has never sent anyone to find you. You should know how much the emperor values ​​you."

Li Yi's mood fell to the bottom all of a sudden. He thought that the old emperor was busy with all kinds of affairs and had long forgotten who he was, but with gunpowder, even if he was stupid and incompetent, he would not pretend not to know.

It seems that we should not underestimate the highest person in this country. God knows if there are spies arranged by him around him. We should be careful in the future.

The most depressing thing is that I can't guess what he is thinking at all, and just let him be a small county lieutenant in Anxi County. To be honest, even if I am the emperor, I can't do nothing like this.

Don't think about things that you can't figure out. When the enemy comes, you will be able to stop him. Now all you need to do is fill your stomach.

"Humph, the emperor won't reward him!" The little girl snorted coldly, obviously still upset about not being able to snatch Li Yi just now.

"What exactly is the heavenly punishment?" Li Xuan looked at the two of them in confusion, and his heart seemed to be full of anxiety.

"Don't ask so many questions." Li Yi glanced at him and said, "When you should know, you will know it naturally."

Seeing that Li Yi and Mingzhu remained silent on this matter, Li Xuan nodded as if he understood, and really stopped asking.

The chef's knife skills were obviously not as good as Liu Ruyi's. The meat rolls were not that thin, so they had to be cooked for a long time. Just as Li Yi and the little girl were fighting for the meat, the old lady in the spacious hall of the Li family frowned and looked at Li Mingze who had just returned from the court, saying, "Does the Chen family really want to kill us all?"

"Impeachment is a small matter, it's all just a figment of the imagination, there's no need to worry, but the impeachers are all close relatives of the Chen family, and they must have been instructed by the Duke's Mansion." Li Mingze said thoughtfully.

"For so many years, although the Chen and Li families have been in constant friction, they have never brought these things to the table. Why..."

Li Mingze was interrupted by Fang on the side before he said half of his words.

"What else could it be? Twenty years ago, we made the Chen family lose face. Two days ago, we beat up the young master of the Chen family and protected the He family. No one would let it go." Fang said angrily, "I told you not to interfere in the affairs of the He family, but you didn't listen. Now, the Chen family has started to take action. What can we do to fight them?"

The old lady said nothing. Although Fang's words were a bit harsh, they were also the problem.

Li Mingze did not have any nervous expression on his face. Which official has not experienced impeachment? The small actions of the Chen family did not have much impact on him. At this moment, he remembered something and said, "The third lady of the Chen family seems to be seriously ill. After the court session, His Majesty specially sent the imperial doctor. Is it because of this matter..."

"What a sin!" The old lady's mind appeared a girl with a bright smile. She sighed for a long time and walked out with a cane.

"Heart problems require heart medicine. Third Miss's heart problem cannot be cured by medicine or stone. I can only prescribe a prescription for her to calm down and rest her mind. Mr. Chen also needs to remember not to let Third Miss be irritated again." The imperial doctor ordered Liu Jimin to come out of the room, clasped his fists and said to the middle-aged man waiting outside the door.

"That's how I thank Dr. Liu." Chen Qing cupped his hands and thanked him.

"You're welcome, Mr. Chen."

After seeing off Dr. Liu, Chen Qing stood in front of his sister's room door. Thinking of her haggard appearance, he sighed, but still did not open the door and go in.

"Brother, what did Dr. Liu say?" Chen Chong came over and asked with concern.

Chen Qing shook his head.

Chen Chong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Then Li Minghan died too early. If he is still alive, I must let him taste life worse than death."

Chen Qing knew that he had favored his third sister since he was a child. He glanced at him and said, "You arranged the impeachment of Li Mingze, right?"

Chen Chong did not answer.

Chen Qing sighed and said: "The left minister of the official department, several impeachments have had no effect. There are many people in the court who are close to the Li family. What you want to do is not that easy."

"Are we going to let Third Sister's revenge go unpunished?" Chen Chong said through gritted teeth with blood in his eyes.
