Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 195 Aftermath

That night, Li Longye returned exhausted.

Jiang Feng did not ask about how the problem was resolved, but Li Longye took the initiative to talk about it.

Although Ji An was stabbed with two holes by her hairpin, his life was safe. And because of the gentleman's agreement with Shen Guxing, he did not betray Jiang Feng.

Naturally, Li Longye and Shen Guxing were not involved in the Iron Arm incident.

No matter what happens inside, on the surface everyone can live in peace for the time being.

Li Longye only reported good news but not bad news. Although Ji'an did not mention Jiang Feng, Prince Ning and Princess Ning were not fools. How could they not know that it was Jiang Feng who did it? Just like Shen Guxing could not come out to testify, didn't Li Longji and Li Longye know that Tie Shoubi was the man of Ji'an County Lord?

For the sake of the emperor's will, the brothers pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth.

Therefore, Prince Ning, as the elder brother, criticized Li Longye harshly, and was almost scolding him.

Later, it was not until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived that the incident was settled.

But Princess Ning refused to tolerate it again, and she started crying and throwing a tantrum.

When it comes to being unreasonable, women are just as capable as men in fighting, and even Li Longji was unable to withstand it.

Li Longye didn't say a word from beginning to end.

When the two brothers Ji and Ye finally escaped from the clutches of their eldest sister-in-law, Li Longji straightened his robe, looking embarrassed, and asked unhappily: "Did that girl really go to kill Ji An so brazenly?"

Li Longye replied with an unpleasant expression: "Yes. In order to protect her father and brother, she first injured herself with the teacup to create the illusion of self-defense, and she also did not forget to ask me to protect her family."

Li Longji looked incredulous, and then said, "I don't know whether he is smart or stupid."

Li Longye replied: "In the vast universe, the world, the universe, the most foolish person! It's the truth!"

Li Longji's worries disappeared, and he said with a smile: "That girl is really good at making people angry."

Li Longye said sternly: "Third brother, I'm not mad at you."

Li Longji said "Oh" and showed a curious expression.

Li Longye said: "She doesn't believe me."

Li Longji was stunned, and the two brothers were speechless for a long time.

Li Longye added: "When my mother died tragically, I could only pretend nothing happened. Compared to her, I sometimes feel ashamed of myself, and now I feel unworthy of being a son."

Li Longji patted his shoulder and comforted him, "We have come to this point. It is needless to say that we have endured and been unwilling to give up. It is easy to take revenge, but it is more difficult to be cautious and make no mistakes, survive and climb high."

Li Longye said: "Don't worry, Third Brother, I won't ruin anything."

"Of course I know." Li Longji changed the subject and said, "Last time, the emperor summoned Afeng and they talked for a long time. Even Li the eunuch was sent out. Then the emperor wanted to abdicate to me. Do you know what Afeng said?"

Li Longye was deep in thought as he told the story of the nine sons competing for the throne.

The tragic struggle for the throne and the fratricide shocked Li Longji, who asked again, "Did you write this with her? Are you going to tell your father?"

Li Longye sighed and said, "Third brother, do you think it's fabricated?"

"What else? I have never heard of such a thing in history books or miscellaneous records," said Li Longji.

Li Longye didn't know whether it was possible.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Third brother, if Afeng really kills Ji An this time, eldest brother will definitely not let it go, and the emperor will also be furious. What will third brother do then?"

Li Longji said: "Will you go against your father and save her?"

Li Longye said: "She asked Li Jian to send me a letter, asking me to save the Jiang family. I rushed all the way to Baoji Temple, feeling extremely panicked. I was afraid that she would kill Ji'an and there would be no end to it, and I was also afraid that she would be killed by Ji'an... When I arrived at Baoji Temple and saw her head and face covered in blood, I only had one thought: I want her to live! Live freely and happily!"

When Li Longji learned of his choice, he felt a little disappointed for a moment.

Li Longye added: "A Feng agreed to stay with me and put forward three conditions."

Li Longji said: "I know, one of the rules is to live in Luoyang forever."

"The most important thing is that he told me not to compete for the throne. If my third brother gets into a dispute with someone, no matter if it's my aunt or my eldest brother, I must stand on his side." Li Longye said, "From the beginning, she has been sure that you can ascend to the throne!"
