Chapter 3, the Son of Heaven will not make mistakes

The woman dismounted from the carriage with the assistance of a maid, her gentle tone carrying a hint of rare seriousness

The hearts of the people have grown cold, and I have made up my mind to leave the capital. What feelings can still be sought?" the princess retorted

She is one of the few people close to the entire Da Qi royal family, Li Zhan.

The woman before us is indeed the eldest princess of the Great Qi Kingdom

Without waiting for Li Zhan to speak, she turned to Yang Fei beside her and said, "Sister-in-law, Zhan'er is being unreasonable, are you also joining in the nonsense?"

Damn it! Li Tianci was furious.

"Nonsense!" Li Tianci exclaimed angrily, cursing loudly in his private study. With no one else present, he felt no need to maintain his image. Staring intently, he said, "You have followed me since childhood, accompanying me in my studies, all the way until my ascension to the throne. If even you do not dare to fathom the imperial will, who else would dare to speak the truth? Stop pretending; if you have something to say, just say it!"

"Have you grown wings? You no longer listen to your aunt's words?" The Grand Princess looked at Li Zhan with a complex expression, but after a moment of silence, she shook her head and sighed softly, "Ah, if you want to leave, then go. Just stay far away from the capital; perhaps your lives will be a bit easier that way"

The princess got into the carriage and smiled as she waved at Li Zhan

Li Zhan glanced at it and was surprised to find it was a "golden ticket to avoid death"

"What crime is there in what Master Chang said?"

Imperial Study

This princess has been quite kind to Li Zhan, often showing concern and care for him, which has spared Li Zhan from much humiliation

This world does not have the Tang Dynasty

Good

The Emperor Li Tianci's sister, Li Yongning

"Hehe, quite a bit of resentment, isn't it!" Li Tianci said with a cold smile, "So you came here just to criticize me?"

"Lao Chang, do you think I have made a mistake?" Li Tianci looked towards the chief eunuch beside him.

Zhan'er

Mother, such a person is utterly unworthy of being a father or a husband

Mother, I, your son, vow here that those who laughed at us today will surely regret it in the future

Li Zhan's rebellion and Yang Fei's determination made him involuntarily question himself

"Zhan'er is indeed your own flesh and blood; you are his father!" The Princess frowned, "As the saying goes, if a child is not taught, the father is at fault. Zhan'er is like this now; do you not bear any responsibility? Among so many princes, only the Ninth Prince has not received even a smile or a word of affection from you. In fact, from the moment he was born until now, you have never even looked at him properly."

To rise from a commoner to a consort, that is a leap across numerous social strata

Then... the servant dares to say a few words! Master Chang chuckled twice, "Your Majesty, the attitude of the Ninth Prince this time truly surprised this old servant, as it is vastly different from his usual character! To be honest, I cannot comprehend what the Ninth Prince is truly thinking! However, since the birth of the Ninth Prince, Your Majesty has indeed shown some bias!"

I..." Yang Fei bitterly opened her mouth.

By using the title "Tang," it is clearly stated to the world that Li Zhan has no qualifications to seize the throne.

At that moment, a gentle call was heard

However, at the moment when the two crossed paths, Li Zhan felt a slight warmth coming from his cuff

"Silly child, how could your mother not be willing?" Yang Fei smiled and said, "I have only you as my son. No matter what decision you make, your mother will support you. It's just that I am worried..."

At that moment, a graceful figure walked in

After careful consideration, the Grand Princess's expression darkened upon hearing this. "Aunt, you still do not know you. If you and the others still regard me as an aunt, then listen to my words and go back to apologize"

Mother, if you are unwilling to accompany me to Liangzhou, you may stay at the Tang royal residence, where at least you will not face the hardships of wandering.

I believe he should not be exiled to Liangzhou, but rather confined until old age and death

Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The eunuch Chang was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "This old servant has spoken nonsense and deserves to be punished!

Zhan'er, is it really appropriate for us to do this? Do we really have to completely sever ties with your father?

This has resulted in her submissive and self-deprecating personality.

Aunt, even if the Great Qi no longer exists, you will always be my aunt, and that will never change. However, Li Zhan shook his head and said in an exceptionally firm tone, "But this time, I truly am not being reckless. My decision is made, so there is no need for you to persuade me any further, Aunt!"

Li Tianci sat at the desk, finding it difficult to calm his emotions for a long time

Having spoken, he turned and left

"Zhan'er, do not speak nonsense!" Yang Fei quickly intervened, "Your intentions are well understood by the Empress. Since you have decided to leave, let us return to the residence, pack our belongings, and henceforth depart from this place of turmoil!"

I am the Son of Heaven, I am the Emperor, my word is as heavy as nine tripods, yet he dares to contradict me

The other princes are the Prince of Jin, the Prince of Zhao, the Prince of Chu, the Prince of Wei, the Prince of Qin

A very luxurious carriage came to a stop, and a woman dressed in imperial attire, exuding elegance and grandeur, lifted the curtain and looked at Li Zhan with concern

I..." Li Tianci was momentarily at a loss for words, then coldly snorted, "Isn't this their own fault? I have so many concubines in my harem, apart from Concubine Yang, which one of them is not a daughter of a prestigious family? The sons and daughters they bore for me, which one is not a dragon among men or a phoenix among women, intelligent and wise? Only the ninth son, born with a face full of pockmarks, timid in character, unlearned and unskilled, how does he resemble my son? Why should I pay him any attention?" Only the ninth son, born with a face full of pockmarks, timid in character, unlearned and unskilled, how does he resemble my son? Why should I pay him any attention?

Regardless of how others bully her, she chooses to endure in silence

The suspension of his account indicates how little he is valued

I just want to have a chat with Your Majesty! The Princess is neither servile nor overbearing, just as Master Chang said, over the years, have you ever truly valued Zhan'er and Concubine Yang?

The title of Tang Wang belongs to Li Zhan

Li Tianci's expression changed slightly. Upon seeing the visitor, he huffed in displeasure: "Yongning, you came all this way to plead for them, mother and son?"

Your Majesty, this servant does not dare to speculate on Your divine will!" Chief Eunuch Chang bent his waist, lowering his brows and eyes submissively

"Aunt, this is my own decision, and it is a choice I have made after careful consideration." Li Zhan, however, smiled nonchalantly.

Li Zhan looked at the woman before him, feeling both pity and helplessness in his heart

Li Zhan took a deep breath, feeling the profound love that Yang Fei had as a mother

Thank you, aunt

Li Zhan took a deep breath; although he had no need for this golden ticket to immunity from death, a warmth surged within his icy heart

Zhan'er, be careful on the road, and remember to write to your aunt when you arrive in Liangzhou

Upon leaving the palace, Yang Guifei displayed a look of concern on her face

I..." Li Tianci was once again at a loss for words, and in a fit of anger, he said, "It is his honor to be able to be my son; it is the fortune he has accumulated over several lifetimes. Moreover, when have I ever treated him poorly? That mother and son are nothing but a pair of ungrateful wolves. It is my leniency towards them that has emboldened him to act so audaciously in front of the civil and military officials today, daring to openly declare a severance of ties with me. If I were not to consider our father-son relationship, I would have executed him long ago.

Zhan'er, hurry back and apologize to your father! Do you know what kind of place Liangzhou is? Liangzhou has been ravaged by years of war, desolate and ruined. You have lived a life of luxury since childhood; how could you endure the wind and sand of Liangzhou?
