Chapter 45 I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for me!
After a while.

Li Chengze followed the people from the Ministry of Justice into the palace and went straight to the Shangshufang.

While on the road, he had no worries about his life being in danger.

Not to mention his own martial arts level, which is stronger than the ordinary fifth-grade martial arts, ordinary people are no match for him.

What's more, among the people from the Ministry of Justice, there were two Luowang assassins, so there was no need to worry.

Moreover, Li Chengze did not encounter any strange things along the way.

When he arrived at the door of the Shangshufang, the people from the Ministry of Justice, led by the middle-aged man, immediately stopped.

"Second Prince, our mission has been completed. Please come in."

As soon as the words were spoken, these people immediately turned around and left without saying a word.

After seeing this, Li Chengze didn't say much. He straightened his clothes a little and walked to the door of the Shangshufang.

At this time, a young man dressed in eunuch's clothes immediately stopped him.

"Second Prince, please wait here for a moment. I will inform you right away."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, eunuch."

"It's my duty." The young eunuch said, then turned and left.

at the same time.

In the Shangshufang, Emperor Qing was wearing a bright red robe, sitting at the desk, reading a book.

In front of the desk, there was a person lying with bandages all over his body, with only two eyes and a mouth exposed, emitting bursts of wailing sounds.

In front of the bandaged man stood a middle-aged man wearing a black official robe and talking incessantly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of a serious nature and has a huge impact. Please punish him severely."

"Otherwise, if everyone in Kyoto imitates the wealthy sons of the housekeepers, what will happen?"

"Where is the law of the country? People's words are to be feared!"

……

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Emperor Qing did not show any extra expression on his face and continued to read the book in his hand.

After a moment, he looked up at the other person and said, "Lord Guo, you must be tired from standing and talking."

"There's a seat next to you. You can sit down and talk slowly."

Guo Youzhi waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I am not tired yet."

"Your Majesty also knows that I only have this one son, and the task of carrying on the family line will fall on him in the future."

"Now, he has been beaten into this state. I am heartbroken."

"I beg your Majesty to make the decision for me!"

Seeing Guo Youzhi's words, Emperor Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, my dear Lord Guo, the Second Prince will be here later. When the time comes, I will give you justice!"

Just then, a young eunuch walked in from outside the study.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has arrived and is waiting outside the door."

Emperor Qing put down the book in his hand and said, "Okay, let him in quickly."

"Yes." The young eunuch turned and left.

Emperor Qing said to Guo Youzhi: "My dear Lord Guo, as for what exactly happened, we will know later."

Guo Youzhi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I believe Your Majesty will handle this matter impartially."

……

Li Chengze waited outside the door for a while, and then he saw the young eunuch who had just left come out again.

"Second Prince, His Majesty wants you to come over."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Okay, tell me I know."

When he just walked into the study, he heard wailing coming from inside. The sound was not loud, but very clear and familiar.

Obviously, it was Guo Baokun who was taught a lesson by him yesterday.

When Li Chengze walked into the Shangshufang, he saw Emperor Qing inside. There was a middle-aged man standing next to him, and a person lying on the door panel, wrapped in bandages.

"Your son, greets your father." After Li Chengze walked to the center, he bowed to Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

"Second brother, I asked you to come here today, do you know why?"

Li Chengze nodded and said, "I didn't know at first, but now I know something."

Emperor Qing pointed at the man wrapped in bandages below him and asked, "You should know this person, right?"

Li Chengze looked at the man wrapped in bandages, then shook his head and said, "I can't recognize him without seeing his face."

At this time, Guo Youzhi, who was standing aside, had sharp eyes and a gloomy face, and said, "Second Prince, this is my son!"

Li Chengze pretended to be surprised and said, "So he is Minister Guo's son. I really didn't realize that."

"But if he is the son of Minister Guo, why is he dressed like this?"

"Are you trying to perform a magic trick?"

"You..." Guo Youzhi was about to get angry, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he just held it back and said:

"Second Prince, don't you really know why my son is like this?"

"What heinous crime did he commit to deserve being beaten and disabled in public?"

"There were so many people watching at the time. Even if the physical wounds can heal in the future, the pain in my heart will stay with me for the rest of my life."

"Please, Your Highness, give me an explanation!"

When Li Chengze saw Guo Youzhi, he became more and more angry as he spoke. His body was shaking uncontrollably, as if he was going to jump up and curse at him the next moment.

However, he said calmly: "Guo Youzhi, calm down. Anger is harmful to your health."

"You just said how I beat Guo Baokun."

"But, do you know why I wanted to beat him up when there were so many people in the restaurant?"

Guo Youzhi snorted coldly, "That's because the Second Prince doesn't like my son."

"Someone heard it clearly at the time and said that it was because my son was a follower of the Crown Prince that the Second Prince took action."

"If this is really the reason, then the Second Prince is too arrogant."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.

Even Emperor Qing, who was reading a book with his head down, began to raise his head and look at Li Chengze.

……

Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui was still covered in gauze, with most of his body exposed. He lay on the couch with his eyes closed and fell asleep.

Soon, a palace maid hurried in, bowed and said, "Princess, something happened."

Li Yunrui slowly opened his eyes, yawned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

The maid said, "Just now, His Majesty summoned the Second Prince over, apparently because of a beating."

"Oh?" Li Yunrui immediately became interested and asked, "Who did he hit?"

The maid said, "It seems to be the son of the Minister of Rites. He was beaten badly and is wrapped up tightly."

Li Yunrui asked: "Then how did His Majesty deal with it?"

The maid shook her head and said, "When I came here just now, the Second Prince had just entered the Shangshufang. I don't know the specific result yet."

After Li Yunrui pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand this matter."

"You continue to monitor. Once you find any results, report back immediately."

"Yes." The maid nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Then, Li Yunrui smiled and said, "This little guy really doesn't want to be quiet."

"It was the crown prince before, but now it's the Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi's son, who's getting beaten."
