Chapter 445: Have some herbal tea
"I have some things to attend to, so I'll be resting in the study today. You should stay in your room and rest quietly. If I find out you've gone to see him, I'll send him to another courtyard."
"That's your child, not a relative's or someone else's flesh and blood. How could you be so heartless?!"
Li Jingyang ignored those words and turned to leave.
But his steps were extremely heavy, clearly indicating that he was unwilling to do so.
However, just wanting to stop, the dark circles under his eyes made Li Jingyang extremely annoyed, wishing he could have the child raised and then sent back.
This is just a thought; after all, if she actually did it, Lin Rusi would probably search to the ends of the earth to bring him back.
Li Jingyang thought that instead of separating the two, it would be better to have everyone under his watchful eye to ensure their safety.
He quickened his pace again, only daring to stop when he could no longer hear the sounds from either side, and then slipped into the study.
Just because he couldn't hear doesn't mean he didn't know. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure running out of the window, and Li Jingyang frowned again.
He certainly wanted to lock her in the room, but then he thought that it would cause the two of them to argue again, so he gave up and closed his eyes to deceive himself that Lin Rusi would go back to the room once the child stopped crying.
The next day.
Li Jingyang, who had gotten up early for the morning court session, frowned as he looked at the bed, which was just as messy as when he left yesterday.
Very well, he didn't come back all night, so I let that ignorant brat run wild.
The more Li Jingyang thought about it, the angrier he became. When he went out, the guards following behind him dared not make a sound, holding their breath for fear of doing something wrong that would cost them their lives.
Fortunately, the master did not take his anger out on them, but instead vented all his anger in the court.
"I remember this matter was resolved yesterday, why are we bringing it up again now?"
"There are still some details that are not complete, and the Crown Prince and His Majesty need to make a decision."
"Make the decision?! If everything requires my father and I to decide, what are you all for?"
Li Jingyang didn't give anyone a chance to catch their breath after he finished speaking. He turned his head and looked at the minister who was secretly laughing to the side.
Feeling the biting cold in his vision, he couldn't help but shiver. Just as he was about to kneel down, he heard a cold snort from in front of him.
"Has Lord Liu's matter been resolved? You even have time to chat and laugh. Do you still remember where you are?"
"Please, Your Highness, calm your anger. That matter has already been dealt with and can be concluded with just one order from the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang, instead of being angry, laughed and walked straight to Lord Liu.
There was a certain distance between us just now, but the distance suddenly shortened, causing the cold air to penetrate my whole body, and I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
Why are you suddenly acting guilty?
"Your Highness, I am telling the truth. If you wish to see the results, I will present them to you and the Emperor tomorrow."
Because of Li Jingyang's terrifying aura, Lord Liu even stammered a bit when he spoke.
When they finally calmed down, they both stared at each other in astonishment, clearly wanting an explanation.
But that was the Crown Prince, and now he exuded such an imposing aura that no one dared to approach him easily. They could only turn their gaze to the silent Emperor in front of them.
He still didn't make a sound, he just waved to people.
"It seems no one is prepared for the morning court session. They have adjourned early. Your Highness, please stay. I have something to discuss with you."
"Yes."
Li Jingyang felt that the two did not need to discuss this, but considering the situation at home, he nodded and stayed in the palace.
The two entered the imperial study together, where the emperor once again scrutinized his son, who was still angry.
"And what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that with those ministers being so lax, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later."
"Do you think I don't know the state of the court right now? Or is it that the Crown Prince is already impatient to take my place?"
Li Jingyang remained silent, staring intently at the Emperor for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.
Did you find me troublesome when I was young?
When? Right after birth?
Both of them paused at this point, then realized that this couldn't possibly happen to the other, and shook their heads, ending their conversation.
The emperor assumed he wanted to attack him and directly pointed out that he was being too excited.
"You are like a bomb today, ready to explode at any moment."
"Is there?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor was taken aback, as his son rarely showed his emotions, yet today he had such a thought.
Fortunately, what I did today wasn't a bad thing, so it wasn't mentioned in court.
"It's not just that there are; they almost scold every single one they catch. If I weren't your father, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so calm right now."
"If you really can't control yourself, then let Lin Rusi brew you some herbal tea, or do you need a concubine?"
"No need!"
Li Jingyang understood that the emperor was saying he couldn't suppress the anger within him and was almost losing control of his temper.
Fortunately, seeing the mockery in his eyes, she managed to pull herself back to her senses, clenching her fists and glaring fiercely at the emperor.
But the other party was already immune to his expression and calmly raised his hand to wave Li Jingyang away.
Seeing the emperor's slightly trembling shoulders, she knew that he was most likely mocking her, and she gritted her teeth and strode out of the imperial study in anger.
He watched Li Jingyang's figure disappear from sight, then turned his gaze to the eunuch who hadn't done anything else.
Their eyes met, and the eunuch quickly walked to the door and closed it, which Li Jingyang had pushed open.
She cautiously approached the Emperor and recounted what had happened at the Crown Prince's residence the previous day.
"A few days ago, the two of you had a quarrel about how to take care of the child, and the Crown Prince went out to work for two days before returning."
"We just got back yesterday and had another argument. I heard that you two slept in separate rooms yesterday."
"No wonder you asked that question."
The emperor glanced thoughtfully at the eunuch beside him, then burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's condition is likely to worsen and eventually..."
The Emperor was not worried about his concerns at all; he even turned his head to look in the direction Li Jingyang had left and curled the corners of his mouth again.
"How do you think he managed to stay in that position for two days last time?"
"Does Your Majesty mean that the Crown Prince will recover soon?"
He didn't know if he could recover, but he definitely wouldn't be able to lose his temper when he came back tomorrow, after all, there was a difficult woman like Lin Rusi there.
The eunuch did not understand the emperor's meaning, so he could only look outside in the same direction as the emperor, trying to make some sense of what the emperor meant.
But there was only the familiar carved wooden gate, nothing else.
At this moment, the Emperor suddenly chuckled and looked away from the ornament that Li Jingyang had given him.
"In any case, he was under control. I originally thought no one could do it, but now it seems I didn't understand him enough."
"The Crown Prince didn't say anything because he was worried that you were overworking, but things got out of hand over and over again..."
