Chapter 48 Li Chengze: I haven't finished talking yet
After hearing what Emperor Qing said, Lin Wan'er slowly let go of the worry in her heart.

It turns out that Brother Chengze was called into the palace not because of his second brother being beaten.

But how is he involved with the son of the Minister of Rites?
I just heard from my uncle that Brother Chengze beat up the son of the Minister of Rites?
At this time, the Queen Mother at the side said: "My son, what is going on?"

"Mother, please sit down first and I will explain it to you slowly." Emperor Qing supported the Queen Mother, walked forward and sat down on the chair next to them.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qing said: "Actually, this is what happened."

"Today, the Minister of Rites brought his injured son to the Shangshufang to file a complaint."

"It is said that the second son beat his son for no reason in a restaurant outside the palace. Although he has been examined by a doctor, he will probably be unable to get out of bed for ten days or half a month."

"So, I just asked the second brother to come over and ask him why he hit someone."

The Queen Mother asked, "What did Ze'er say?"

"Yes, uncle, what did Brother Chengze say?" Lin Wan'er asked hurriedly.

Emperor Qing laughed and said, "This is a long story."

"Moreover, I didn't expect that things would turn around just now. It's ridiculous."

The Queen Mother said with an unhappy look on her face: "Don't keep us in suspense. You know what we are up to."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said, "That's right, uncle, just tell me now."

"I don't think Brother Chengze would hit someone for no reason. It must be someone else's fault."

Emperor Qing glanced at Lin Wan'er and felt a little curious.

When did this little girl become so close to the second brother?
Moreover, he called me so affectionately.

Have they already...

Emperor Qing pondered for a moment and then briefly recounted what had just happened.

……

A little before.

When Guo Youzhi was confronting Li Chengze, he could no longer hold back his anger. He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly:

"Is it because the Second Prince doesn't like my son that he is like this?"

Li Chengze looked harmless and said to Guo Youzhi: "Minister Guo, you misunderstood me. How could I judge a person by his appearance?"

"Although your daughter is not very good-looking, not very tall, and not a very good person, I will not look at her differently. You can rest assured about this."

"You..." Guo Youzhi couldn't bear it when he heard the other party say that his son was ugly. He was about to retort, but when he saw Li Chengze, he was stunned on the spot.

He has bright eyes, sharp eyebrows, handsome facial features, and an upright tall stature. Even when he is wearing ordinary clothes, he exudes an air of nobility.

I guess no one would object to saying that he is the most handsome man in Qing Kingdom.

The key point is that when Guo Youzhi looked at Li Chengze, he always had a different feeling in his heart.

Especially after hearing what Li Chengze said, I always felt that what he said made so much sense and it was simply impossible to refute it.

Then, Guo Youzhi thought back to his son. Compared with Li Chengze, he was simply ugly.

cough……

They are all sons, why are the handsome, elegant and talented ones always other people’s?
However, Guo Youzhi quickly reacted and continued:

"And Your Highness, this matter is not fabricated by me, it is the truth!"

"Someone heard it clearly at the time and said that you beat my son because he was a follower of the Crown Prince."

"He also said that the people he beat were the followers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

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

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene fell silent.

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

He originally didn't want to intervene, and wanted Guo Youzhi and Li Chengze to slowly confront each other and wait for the result. However, after hearing what Guo Youzhi said just now, he immediately became interested.

If the fight between Li Chengze and Guo Baokun was due to personal reasons, then it would be harmless.

As long as no one is killed, there won't be any trouble. It's just a matter of apologizing and paying some extra money.

In the future, we will all be the pillars of the country.

However, if it is true as Guo Youzhi said, that the reason Li Chengze beat Guo Baokun was because he was the prince's disciple, then that would be a serious matter.

This is a partisan dispute and it is a very serious matter.

If this gets out of hand, many people will die!

Emperor Qing put down the book in his hand and looked at Li Chengze with a gloomy face.

"Second brother, is what Mr. Guo said just now true?"

As he spoke, an invisible pressure erupted from Emperor Qing's body and permeated the room.

After Guo Youzhi felt the pressure, he knew that His Majesty might be angry, so he began to look at Li Chengze.

He wanted to see what excuses this dignified Second Prince would have when the time came.

Moreover, Guo Youzhi was not afraid that Li Chengze would lie, because there were many people in the restaurant at that time, and he had already found several people to serve as witnesses.

As long as Li Chengze disagrees, he will immediately let the witness come forward.

At that time, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor!
At the same time, Guo Baokun, who was lying on the ground, had a smile on his face although his body was wrapped in bandages.

Especially when I felt that His Majesty was about to get angry, I felt even more delighted.

He knew it would be like this!

Wait and see how this second prince ends up.

Anyway, everything had been arranged before he entered the palace, so there would definitely not be any accidents.

Guo Baokun is now impatient to see Li Chengze's punishment.

If the prince knew about this by then, he would definitely be very happy.

"Second brother, speak!"

When Emperor Qing saw that Li Chengze didn't say anything, he shouted coldly again.

Moreover, this time the sound was even louder than before.

After a moment, Li Chengze cupped his hands and said to Emperor Qing: "Father, what Minister Guo just said is indeed the reason."

When Guo Youzhi heard Li Chengze admit it, he felt relieved.

He really didn't expect that the Second Prince would admit it so decisively, and thought he would make some excuses.

Now that’s good, let’s see how the Second Prince will end this.

After hearing what Li Chengze said, Guo Baokun also felt very happy. What he wanted was the present.

Now that he has admitted it, Your Majesty will definitely not let him off easily.

After all, discussions about party disputes are all conducted in private and never openly.

If not handled properly, it can become very troublesome.

After hearing Li Chengze's answer, Emperor Qing had never expected that when he was about to say something, he heard Li Chengze speak again:

"Father, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Ha!" Emperor Qing sneered and said, "Okay, then I want to see what else you have to say!"

"If what you said does not satisfy me, then prepare to be punished!"
