For many people, the impression of the prince in their hearts is always that he is gentle and polite.

Even in the hearts of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, they have always believed in this.

But unexpectedly, Li Hong today seemed to have lost his usual calmness, and his every move was like an angry boy.

"I don't think I'm wrong!"

Li Hong's clear and firm voice echoed throughout the hall, making the atmosphere suddenly awkward.

Mrs. Rong Guo's face became ugly at an extremely fast speed, and she couldn't even stop trembling, obviously because of Li Hong's words.

"Prince!"

At the same time, a hint of displeasure appeared on Li Zhi's face and he spoke.

"Madam Rongguo is your elder. How can you be so offended to her? Why don't you come forward and apologize!"

In fact, when dealing with Li Hong, Li Zhi's attitude has always been very easy to distinguish.

Because both him and Empress Wu, they only call Li Hong the "Crown Prince" when they are extremely angry!

This also means that at this moment they are not father and son, but monarch and minister.

Usually at this time, Li Hong would choose to avoid it, because Li Hong has always been very clear about who the ruler of this huge empire was.

It was not the Empress who was unwilling to accept the ministers but had to obey orders, nor was it the former Secretary-General Li Yifu who was in power and responded to the response.

But the one in front of Li Hong now has a reputation among the people not even as high as the Emperor of Martial Arts, Li Zhi!

As the prince, Li Hong actually knows much more than others and more than everyone knows.

He knew the so-called greatest reliance for the Empress to govern the government, and also knew that all the evaluations of Empress Wu, called brutality and benevolence, were all the shadows of His Majesty the Emperor!

Whether it is Empress Wu or Li Yi’s Mansion, everything they come from Li Zhi!

Therefore, Empress Wu never interferes with Li Zhi's decision, and Li Yifu never dares to say anything in front of Li Zhi, even though he is the Empress's confidant...

Similarly, what Li Hong knew more clearly was that his greatest support also came from Li Zhi!

So he dared to reprimand Liu Rengui, dared to overthrow Li Yi's mansion, and even dared to repeatedly erode the power of the Empress of the Martial Arts, but only after Li Zhi's anger, he directly shrank his attempts against the military. Until now, he has never been to the Duke of England's mansion again.

But now, Li Zhi clearly expressed it clearly that he had done too much!

And the meaning of this sentence is very clear. Li Hong made a mistake and he wants to apologize!

But……

Li Hong clenched his fist hidden in his sleeve, subconsciously touched the songbook in his sleeve, still quietly staying in his sleeve, and slowly raised his head.

He has retreated too many times and avoided too many times!

This time, he didn't want to hide or retreat. He wanted to see what his father thought.

"Father, the court has its own laws and regulations, and justice is in the hearts of the people! If the sons ignore this matter today, how could they be in the Eastern Palace?

The son ministers are still the two questions. Who is the official and what position is the wife of Rong? Can she interrogate the Da Nei ban and insult a female official who was granted the title of the court?

What crime did Shangguan Wan'er commit? Why didn't his father hand over her to Yousi to deal with her, but instead let Mrs. Rongguo take a private trial here?

Mrs. Rongguo is the elder of the son minister, but the son minister is also the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. If he is in his position, he will plan his own affairs. Since his son minister is in the Eastern Palace, he will surely maintain the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and no one can offend him!"

Li Hong's face was very serious and his words were very rude. He could even be regarded as accusing Li Zhi.

He could even see that after Mrs. Rong Guo was shocked, a smug smile appeared on her face.

Indeed, she couldn't beat Li Hong, but now he was so confused that even Li Zhi dared to contradict him. He was simply ignorant of his life or death.

Mrs. Rongguo was waiting, waiting for the next moment, Li Zhi was furious and scolded Li Hong, and then made the arrogant prince pay the price for his rudeness and arrogance.

In an instant, Shangguan Wan'er's face turned pale. She didn't expect that things would develop to such a level, but because she, a mere female official, would actually cause Li Hong to lose his mind so much...

At the same time, a hint of softness suddenly appeared in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes. Unlike the smile she used to pretend, this time she didn't even notice it herself...

But to everyone's surprise in the hall, Li Zhi was not angry, nor angry, and even did not turn cold as before.

His expression calmed down. He turned around and looked at Empress Wu, but saw that the latter was also looking at him with a complicated expression.

This action surprised everyone, but it did not surprise Empress Wu and Li Hong.

They all looked calm, as if nothing had happened...

The scene was not silent for too long because Li Zhi didn't speak, but Empress Wu spoke.

"Wan'er is a female official in the harem and should be managed by her mother. Does Honger have any objections to this?"

Empress Wu's voice was extremely light, without any fireworks, and without any aggressiveness, as if she was just talking about a common little thing.

And although he seemed to be asking questions, there was no doubt in his tone, and he didn't even give Li Hong time to think, so he continued to say.

"My mother is inconvenient, so she asked Mrs. Rongguo to take the trial on her behalf. Is it inconsistent with the etiquette?"

Empress Wu did not call Li Hong the "Crown Prince" or called herself "the palace"!

It seemed that this moment was not a conversation between the queen and the crown prince, but an angry mother teaching a disobedient son.

But the next moment, the former's tone suddenly became cold.

"As for what crime Shangguan Wan'er committed, it's nothing. It's just a wrong message! There is no need to bother everyone in the outer court!"

Empress Wu said it lightly, but Li Hong heard a different taste from it.

It has to be said that unlike Mrs. Rongguo, Li Hong was able to use those reasons to refute Mrs. Rongguo, but Wu later handled this matter with justification, so that he could not make any mistakes!

Besides, he never thought about making this matter worse, because in this case, Shangguan Wan'er would definitely be a death sentence.

Turning his head and looking at Shangguan Wan'er, who still had blood marks on his head, Li Hong said with a heart of heart.

"The affairs of the harem will naturally be subject to the mother's disposal!"

The next moment, he saw the smile that reappeared on Mrs. Rong Guo's face, but also saw a hint of ease hidden under the panic on Shangguan Wan'er's face.

He is betting!

The queen of gambling will not kill Shangguan Wan'er!

The Shangguan Wan'er he knew was definitely not someone who was willing to bet on her life. Since she dared to correct her orders, she must have a support!
