Chapter 331

The Chu family is now a relative of the Imperial Family, so the status of the Chu family members is naturally high.

After Chu Ruoyan finished reading the news, she immediately told Li Sining and Jiang Rong. When Jiang Rong heard this, she felt a headache; business requires harmony to make money, so how could there be Imperial Family disciples making trouble not long after opening?

And the Imperial Guards were all out; it seemed the status of the person making trouble wasn't low.

Li Sining, however, said without anger: "So what if they are Imperial Family disciples? Who isn't an Imperial Family disciple? I want to see which bastard dares to make trouble."

She was just about to curse "bastard," but thought about it, the other side also seemed to be Imperial Family, and if she cursed him as a bastard, wouldn't she be one too? So she changed her words.

The reason Li Sining was angry was because the hot pot restaurant had her investment; she, who was doing business for the first time, was actually very serious and waiting for dividends.

If it was done well, maybe she could get Li Chen's praise.

With Imperial Family disciples making trouble, she immediately wanted to beat this guy into a pig's head.

Just as the three were planning to leave the palace, they ran into Li Chen, who was returning to the palace.

Seeing her Emperor brother, Li Sining didn't really want to tell Li Chen about this matter; she wanted to solve it herself.

But Li Chen stopped them directly and said: "I know what you want to do, but all go back."

This statement of his made the three women have a thousand thoughts.

Chu Ruoyan was thinking: Could it be that His Majesty doesn't want to see the people in the harem have conflicts with the Imperial Guards? As a concubine, I indeed shouldn't create trouble for His Majesty.

Jiang Rong was looking at Li Chen's face, guessing: Is it that my business expansion doesn't conform to the rules, and I've started to have conflicts with the nobles of the Imperial Capital?

Li Sining's thought was very simple: My brother is truly omnipotent, he even knows this?

Li Chen was the person who knew them best, so he could more or less guess that they were letting their imaginations run wild, so he added: "Don't think too much, the person Li Zhao wanted the Imperial Guards to arrest was me, and I told Li Sixing to come and explain tomorrow."

This sentence made the three women smile like flowers.

I didn't expect it, the one making trouble was actually the son of the Imperial Guard Commander; this background was indeed hard, and what was even more unexpected was that the one eating hot pot was Li Chen.

Li Zhao offended the Emperor, so there was certainly no need for them to go out.

The few of them naturally held Li Chen's arm and began to inquire about some details, very curious about how Li Zhao felt when he saw Li Chen at that time.

At the same time, in the first ring of the Imperial Capital, a "pig-slaughtering sound" that resounded through the sky rang out.

This sound came from the mansion of the Imperial Guard Commander, Li Sixing.

Li Sixing's wife was awakened from her dream, walked out of the bedroom in a bathrobe, and came to the courtyard where the sound was made, seeing a "monster" covered in blood before her eyes.

Seeing her, this monster actually pounced over with an "Awoo."

Li Sixing's wife was scared and kicked him away, then came to Li Sixing's side with a look of disgust, asking: "Is this a monster you just caught?"

Catching some evil spirits was also one of the duties of the Imperial Guards, but there were very few evil spirits in the Imperial Capital.

Li Sixing caught his breath and said angrily: "That's your son!"

Li Zhao was truly beaten by his father until even his mother didn't recognize him, and he was even beaten to the point of being covered in blood.

His throat was already hoarse from crying, and his skin had been whipped by Li Sixing until it was rotten; it was normal for his mother not to recognize him.

Upon hearing that it was her son, Li Sixing's wife immediately ran over to look at her son; it was too dark just now, so she didn't pay attention, but now it was indeed her son.

She judged her son's identity, said a few words of concern to her son, and then said to Li Sixing: "You're crazy, you even beat your own son like this?"

Li Zhao's biological mother was a descendant of a great noble, and her family's status in the May Tian Ce Dynasty was not low.

As the saying goes, a doting mother spoils her son; Li Zhao's temper was spoiled by his mother.

Li Sixing said indifferently: "He offended someone."

"You useless fellow, you only know how to be fierce at home. If Zhao'er offends someone, you just smooth it over; you can't even do this little thing, it's a loss that I was blind to follow you back then."

After saying this, she also turned her head gently and said to her son: "Don't worry, what your father can't smooth over, Mother will smooth over for you."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Sixing's mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "He offended His Majesty."

The doting mother, who was just angry, didn't have a trace of anger anymore.

The name Li Chen seemed to be a sedative for countless nobles.

No matter what state of rage these nobles were in, as long as the name Li Chen appeared, it could make them forget their high and mighty status; after all, no matter how high they were, could they be higher than Li Chen?

After a few short seconds of silence, Li Zhao's doting mother no longer intended to understand what mistake Li Zhao had made; she only felt, was her husband not eating, why did he beat him so lightly!

Later, Li Zhao's mother even beat him personally.

While beating him, his mother was thinking: Good son, don't blame Mother; it hurts on your body, but it pains in Mother's heart.

If Li Zhao knew his mother was thinking this, he would certainly say: What's the use of heart pain, I am really in pain!

Doting on her son, protecting the calf, wanting face—none of these worked in front of Li Chen.

The next day, after the morning court, Li Sixing came to Li Chen tremblingly, knelt down, and said respectfully: "Your subject failed to teach his son, I ask for Your Majesty's punishment."

Yesterday he also checked the background of that hot pot restaurant; he didn't know until he checked, but he was scared after checking.

It turned out his son had offended everyone with power and influence in the Imperial Capital.

Li Chen swept a glance at him and said: "Let this be an example, but I called you here to arrange for the visit to the Southern Countries."

A second-generation ancestor, Li Chen really didn't take him to heart; just warning Li Sixing was enough.

At any rate, Li Sixing had also been working wholeheartedly after he ascended the throne, and had never disobeyed him; Li Chen still saw it clearly.

There was no need to dismiss him because of this small matter; just combine kindness and power.

Hearing this, Li Sixing breathed a sigh of relief; he was really afraid of being dismissed.

Offending the Emperor, this kind of thing is not big, but not small either; it just depends on the Emperor's attitude.

In Li Sixing's view, Li Chen was indeed an Emperor worth following; at the very least, this Emperor wasn't that petty.

The reason Li Chen wanted to visit the Southern Countries was because he had been invited.

After he told his concubine, Zhu Zhuying, about the Southern Countries last time, Zhu Zhuying sent the news to her family.

These small countries, in order to show that they were loyal to the May Tian Ce Dynasty, one after another requested Li Chen to come and inspect them personally.

Li Chen was going to the Southern Countries as the monarch of the dynasty, so the relevant matters certainly had to be arranged well by Li Sixing.

These were Li Sixing's jobs, and he indicated that there was no problem; even if he had to go through fire and water, he would arrange it properly for His Majesty.

Li Chen told him not to be nervous; the Southern Countries certainly wouldn't dare to have any movements, unless they wanted to be destroyed.

This time, the Southern Countries were also very serious; after receiving His Majesty Li Chen's reply, they also began to build momentum, seemingly wanting the whole world to know their stance!

There was no help for it; if their stance wasn't firm, then what they would face would be iron cavalry.

The game between the two super powers, the May Tian Ce Dynasty and the Yongzhou Empire, had also officially begun!

And at this time, in the Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect in the eastern part of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, there were also people waiting for Li Chen's visit.
