Chapter 110 Begging for Life

At this time, Eunuch Chen came upstairs and was about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly he closed his mouth again. The atmosphere in the room was a little wrong, and he also saw the blood on Li Mu's hand.

Li Yuan glanced at Eunuch Chen and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Return to the Supreme Emperor, the banquet is about to part. I will come and ask the marquis to help."

Li Muzheng didn't know how to respond to Li Yuan, so he took the conversation and said, "Grand Emperor, I'll go downstairs to take a look first, and come here later." As he said that, he was going to La Nazha's arm. Nazha angrily avoided Li Mu's hand. Li Mu was about to use force, but Li Yuan said, "Let her stay, I have a lot to say to her."

"But……"

"Li Mu, I said I would let her stay. Are you going to disobey me?"

Since he left the palace, Li Yuan called himself "I" instead of "I". Suddenly he called himself "I" and Li Mu understood what he meant.

Li Mu took back his hand and lowered his head and said, "I understand, I will take my leave first."

Li Mu sighed and came to the slide to prepare to go downstairs. Eunuch Chen's eyes turned dark and didn't know how to deal with it. He quickly followed and whispered to Li Mu: "Haven, please wait, can you tell me, what's going on?"

"That woman is the daughter of Prince Yin!"

"Ah?!" Xiao Chen was shocked and screamed in a sharp voice. He was afraid that Li Yuan would hear it, so he quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "Really?"

"It's true that she's still an assassin!"

"ah?"

"It's not the Supreme Emperor, it's Jie Li." Li Mu sighed and said, "The Supreme Emperor wants to save her life, but His Majesty can't hide it. It's really hard for me to die. Eunuch Chen, I know you have martial arts, so you must protect the Supreme Emperor and wait for me to come back."

"Our martial arts is just ordinary. She is an assassin, how can I be the opponent?" Eunuch Chen said in a panic: "Why should I call a few guards?"

"Her martial arts are not very good, otherwise she would not have failed to assassinate. Your skill is enough to deal with it. Now the matter is not easy to expand, and the Supreme Emperor has something to say to the woman that it is inconvenient to have someone else present. Please calm your mind and I will come back later."

"Hey, hey..." Eunuch Chen was a little panicked. Although he had seen the world, he was still frightened when he heard the words "The Daughter of Prince Hidden". During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he had just entered the palace for two years. He saw with his own eyes the eunuch who entered the palace with him. Because he was serving the Eastern Palace, he was sentenced to death after the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

The outsiders of the palace did not know the specific number, but the old lady Chen knew a little. There were probably no less than five hundred relevant palace people who were cleaned up in the harem before and after the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

This is a forbidden matter!

The legs of Mr. Chen were trembling. Li Mu could understand his mood and patted his shoulder. Without saying anything, he slid down the slide.

I went to the warehouse to meet Li Chongyi and Li Siwen first, called the two of them, and went to the private room on the second floor, asking Li Chongyi to escort Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien back to the mansion. As for Li Siwen, he naturally stopped at the Zhulu Marquis' Mansion first, and now he asked him to go back. With his confused appearance, he must be unable to hide anything.

After seeing off his family, Li Mulian calmed down and began to answer the guests. The people on the first floor were better, so they could just bow and chat for a few words. And some of them had already left early, such as Wei Yingluo and Kong Yingda. Li Mu had to deal with the guests on the second floor, and none of them were good at it. Many of them were debtors, such as Changsun Wuji.

"Uncle Guo, today's hospitality is not good, I hope to take care of it."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It's okay, today's show is so grand that you can't be missing anywhere. You are not an outsider, so why bother with me? Since you have already entered the royal family and are considered relatives. If you have time to come to my house these days, I will introduce my incompetent son to you. You are of the same age, so there must be many topics to talk about."

Li Mu heard the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words. He fought with Wei Zheng these days, and at the last moment, Changsun Wuji stood up to support him. According to Li Ji, Changsun Wuji was the person in charge of the Longyou Group. What he said must be rewarded.

Li Mu had already prepared the reward in his heart, and smiled and said with a smile: "Even if the uncle of the country doesn't invite him, the boy will still be shameless and disturb him."

"Oh?" Changsun Wuji said in a suspicious tone, "Is that so? I thought you were hiding from me?"

"How could it be... the boy has already prepared a gift. When the boy comes to visit, he will definitely satisfy his uncle."

"Haha..." Changsun Wuji didn't say anything else, patted Li Mu on the shoulder and passed by. At this time, Duke Shen Guoguo Gao Shilian came down from the stairs with drunken eyes. When he saw Li Mu, he immediately called his name. Li Mu quickly met him and kept sending him onto the carriage before he could stop.

Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others had already left. When they saw Li Jing, Li Mu exchanged a few greetings with him. However, Li Jing didn't seem to want to interact too much with others. His attitude towards Li Mu was not cold, but he was not very warm. Li Mu could feel the hidden alienation in his words.

After about half an hour, he finally sent all the guests away. The sky and earth suddenly became deserted. The waiters closed the gates and began to clean up the leftovers on the table. Li Mu ordered the guards to patrol for a long time, and then took the elevator to the fifth floor.

The scene on the fifth floor is exactly the same as when he left, but Nazha and Li Yuan's eyes were a little red, and it seemed that they had cried. Li Mu could probably guess what Li Yuan would say to Nazha, it was nothing more than Li Jiancheng. When Nazha left Chang'an, she should have remembered it. And judging from the jade plaque she carved with Li Jiancheng, she may not have no feelings for this father, and it is mostly intertwined with love and hate. But after all, family affection is endless, so it is normal for Li Yuan to mention it and cry.

Li Yuan was even more normal. He had always felt guilty about Li Jiancheng. Judging from his attitude towards Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he was very satisfied with Li Jiancheng. Whether it was his contribution before and after the founding of the country or the personal feelings between father and son, it cannot be said that he was not inferior to Li Shimin, but above Li Shimin.

Li Mu could understand that after all, Li Jiancheng was ten years older than Li Shimin. When Li Yuan had the intention to be independent, Li Shimin was probably only twelve or thirteen years old and was still a child. The only person he could plan with was Li Jiancheng. Later, the Tang Dynasty established a country and rebelled against the king's rule. Li Yuan would rather let Li Shimin fight everywhere than to leave Chang'an than to leave the prince. It can be seen that in his heart, Li Jiancheng's weight was greater than Li Shimin.

Moreover, today, Li Yuan made such a firm statement that he wanted to protect Nazha's life, which also shows his guilt towards Li Jiancheng.

But this matter is too difficult to deal with.

Seeing Li Mu coming, Li Yuan said to Eunuch Chen: "Take this child to rest first, and find a room on this fifth floor. Don't be too far away from me. I have something to say to Marquis Zhulu, so you don't need to serve me."

Eunuch Chen was eager to hide from such a secret matter, so he quickly responded and took Nazha away. Li Yuan signaled Li Mu, and Li Mu sat on the Jindun where he had just sat.

"This child's life is so hard, I have to protect her."

Li Mu had no words.

"She is Jiancheng's only descendant, and I have to protect her."

Li Mu finally spoke and sighed: "The Supreme Emperor does not need to explain to me. I can understand your mood, but the Supreme Emperor needs to know that today's affairs cannot be hidden. The guards downstairs are all from the palace. Needless to say, the Supreme Emperor should also know that there must be His Majesty's eyewitness. I'm afraid that news will be coming to the palace now. If His Majesty had not been drunk, it would not be possible whether Nazha could still be here. Tomorrow, there will be a reaction in the palace."

After pausing, Li Mu said again: "This matter is extraordinary, Your Majesty is probably..."

Li Mu didn't say it too clearly, but how could Li Yuan not understand it. He sighed and smiled bitterly: "This is the affection of the Tian family, so indifferent... Li Mu, do you believe it? In fact, Shimin doesn't want to do many things, but he is difficult to do, and he has to do it, otherwise he will not be able to explain to those under his command. It is said that the emperor is rich and the world is the only one, but is it really like this? The emperor is not free either!"

Li Mu nodded and felt deeply the same. Not to mention anything else, just the two days ago, Li Shimin hated Wei Zheng to death, but what did he do to him? As an emperor, he was not so casual. Even if Wei Zheng was disgusting, as long as he still had value in use, he had to be free in the court.

"I still remember that Shimin appeared in front of me in armor and covered in blood. He knelt on the ground and cried to me, saying, Jiancheng and Yuanji were going to kill him, but he had no choice but to kill them. He handed me the sword in his hand and asked me to kill him... Do you know that there were three thousand imperial guards around me at that time, and Shimin was less than five hundred. If I killed him, he would not be able to resist."

"I believe it," Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "But now that time has changed, if the Supreme Emperor wants this favor, he may not be able to do so."

"No, I don't want his favor." Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I just sigh that the family affection of the Tian family is so real!"

"Wait here, I'll get something." Li Yuan said, getting up from Hu's chair. Li Mu watched him enter a room. Soon, Li Yuan came out with a scroll. He handed the scroll to Li Mu and said, "Tomorrow you go to the palace and tell him truthfully, don't hide anything. Then give this to Shimin. You tell him that such things were brought by Nazha, and now I'm dedicated to him and begging for life. You tell him again, I'm just an ordinary old man now, wanting an ordinary granddaughter to serve him. If he has my father in his heart, he still regards me as a father. When I am alive, don't raise a butcher knife to his relatives. When I die, everything will be with him. I can't see it, that's fine."
