There was an air of merriment in the Regent's Palace.

Chen Wangbei hurried over at this time.

He turned a blind eye to the one-line brow on the regent's face, clasped his fists in salute, and said solemnly.

"Reporting to the prince, we have found the whereabouts of Prince Xiliang."

The smile on Li Ji's face quickly faded.

He said to Manman: "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Manman probably guessed what he was going to do, hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and leaned over to warn him in a low voice.

"I know you hate Ah Qi, but he is the prince of Xiliang after all. If he dies in Tianjing, the emperor of Xiliang will definitely not let it go."

Judging from Xiliang's covetous attitude towards the Great Zhou, the Emperor of Xiliang would probably use this as an excuse to take the opportunity to start a war against the Great Zhou.

Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has just experienced war, it is at the critical moment when the old and new dynasties alternate. Neither the court nor the common people can withstand any war.

The most sensible move at this time is to reduce conflicts and stabilize people's hearts.

Li Ji held her hand, stared into her eyes, and asked word by word.

"Are you pleading for that guy?"

Hua Manman said angrily: "You know I didn't mean that!"

Li Ji hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Hua Manman is still worried.

Outsiders all said that the regent must take revenge. Although this statement is exaggerated, he is indeed not a tolerant person.

Manman was afraid that he would kill Ah Qi on impulse.

It doesn't matter if a Qi dies, but it would be a catastrophe to provoke a dispute between the two countries and cause a war.

She held Li Ji's hand and said softly.

"Of course Ah Qi deserved to die, but in the end he chose to let go and let him live."

Li Ji sneered: "Even if he doesn't let go, he won't be able to take you away."

Hua Manman shook his hand with a soft voice.

"is it okay?"

This coquettish action was supposed to be cute, but coupled with the two thick caterpillar-like black eyebrows on her face, it immediately became the scene of a car accident. Li Ji couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

But he still has to pretend to be serious, reminding.

"That guy has bad intentions for you, but you still have to plead for him, Man Man, I'm a man, how can I not be jealous?"

Hua Manman heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, instantly changed his face, and cursed angrily.

"Like a despicable villain like Ah Qi, killing him would be too dirty for the prince's hands. Just let him live for a few years, and when the situation in our Great Zhou is stable in the future, hang him up and beat him!"

These words pleased Li Ji very well.

He pretended to be authentic: "If the king listens to the princess, what good will it do?"

Manman blinked: "What do you want?"

Li Ji leaned down and whispered a word in her ear.

After listening to him, Man Man couldn't help showing surprise.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Li Ji pressed her ear and whispered: "This is something I've been thinking about for a long time, do you agree?"

Hua Manman said without hesitation.

"it is good."

Li Ji turned his head and kissed her on the face: "Then it's a deal, don't go back on your word."

After Li Ji and Chen Wangbei left, Li Xun immediately went to his mother's side and asked nervously.

"Mother, what did the father say to you just now? Did he take the opportunity to ask you something too much? If so, you must not agree to him!"

Hua Manman rubbed his little head and said with a smile.

"Your father told me that he hoped to hold a make-up wedding. He wanted to marry me as a queen."

Li Xun was very surprised: "Isn't mother already married to the father? Why do you want to make up the wedding?"

"It's a long story."

Hua Manman took his son to the gazebo and sat down, slowly explaining what happened back then.

At first, Li Ji pretended to be dead to deceive the emperor in order to make her a concubine.

Although the result made him fulfill his wish, there were many regrets in the process.

Among them, the biggest regret was letting that boy Li Ying pay respects to Man Man instead.

Even though Li Ying is dead now, that matter is still a thorn in Li Ji's heart, and every time he thinks about it, he feels very unhappy.

Li Xun is worthy of being Li Ji's own son, he shouted immediately after hearing this.

"How can mother worship with other men?!"

Hua Manman sneered: "That's just a stopgap measure, don't take it seriously."

Having said that, Li Xun was still very upset.

He clenched his fists tightly and secretly made up his mind that this time he must make the wedding of his mother and his father a splendid one!

When people in the future think of his mother, the grand wedding between her and Li Ji will automatically appear in their minds, thus completely erasing the matter of Li Ying and his mother's worship from their memories.

...

The Xuanjia army obeyed the regent's order and captured Ah Qi in disguise in a wealthy merchant.

Ah Qi thought he would be imprisoned, but in the end he was taken to the school grounds.

This school field is the place where the patrol soldiers in the city use for daily exercises. The field is very spacious, and there is also a ring specially used for martial arts competitions.

At this time Li Ji was standing on the ring, watching the patrol soldiers not far away practicing their moves.

Ah Qi was thrown to the bottom of the ring.

Li Ji heard the movement, turned around, and glanced at Ah Qi.

Ah Qi's hands and feet were tied, he was wearing the clothes of a Da Zhou man, his hair was combed like a Da Zhou man, and with makeup on his face, he really looked like a Da Zhou man at first glance.

He looked up at Li Ji, and asked in standard Dazhou official dialect.

"Is Manman okay?"

These three simple words successfully hit the place Li Ji cared about the most, making his eyes turn cold in an instant.

He squinted his eyes, and a murderous intent rose in his heart.

Thinking about the long instructions, Li Ji tried his best to suppress the killing intent, and said coldly.

"none of your business."

Ah Qi didn't seem to notice the other party's killing intent, and continued to speak on his own.

"Manman is fine, if you dare to let her down, I will kill you."

Li Ji sneered disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to say such things to me?"

Ah Qi: "The reason why Manman chose you is because she met you earlier. If I could meet her earlier than you, the person who is with her now is me."

Li Ji laughed unceremoniously as if he heard a funny joke.

"It's just you? You think too highly of yourself."

Ah Qi: "I'm just telling the truth, if you don't believe me, you can compare with me."

Li Ji: "Why should I compare myself with you?"

Ah Qi asked back: "Don't you dare?"

Li Ji gradually put away his smile.

"I know you are using aggressive methods, but it doesn't matter, come and untie him."

Chen Wangbei was a little worried: "My lord, this man is very skilled, we spent a lot of effort to catch him."

Li Ji glanced at him lightly.

It was this one glance that successfully made Chen Wangbei shut up.

He walked to the bottom of the ring and untied the rope from Ah Qi's body.

Chen Wangbei put his hand on the handle of the saber at his waist, and secretly raised his guard. As long as Ah Qi dared to run, he would be able to draw out the saber immediately.

However, Ah Qi jumped onto the ring without even looking at Chen Wangbei.

He didn't take any weapon, just raised his fist, and threw it at Li Ji viciously!
