Li Shude glanced at Li Yin and Li Jie without leaving a trace.

His expression was indifferent, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

How could he not see that Li Wen was deliberately targeting him? The third brother's face was covered in bruises, extremely conspicuous, and even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't.

The so-called castration punishment mentioned by the two sons, a "killing the chicken to scare the monkey," is nothing more than a veiled insult.

On the surface, the proposal seems fine, but if I were to agree, it would damage the Crown Prince's reputation. After all, it is not easy for a ruler to build up prestige.

As the ruler of a country.

Logically speaking, he believed that Li Yin was more suitable to succeed the emperor. He was kind and benevolent, had a highly capable advisory team, and was principled. Even when his army was on the border, he did not damage an inch of the people's farmland.

This is a blessing for all people.

Emotionally speaking, the person I've held in my heart all my life is now my eldest son's wife. This thought always keeps me up at night, and I yearn for her day and night.

A thorn is stuck in my heart, causing a dull ache that is difficult to heal.

But…...

His three sons clearly all had feelings for her, so there was no question of favoritism. After all, he didn't like any of them!

"As the year draws to a close, castration is too harsh. First-time offenders should be given a minor punishment as a warning, but repeat offenders should be severely punished. This matter will be entrusted to the King of Qin for supervision."

"Yes!"

"The sage is wise!"...

After the morning court session, the two groups of people were clearly separated.

In recent years, the King of Qin has become increasingly powerful, and the two sides have reached a point of equal strength!

The number of people openly or covertly supporting each other is roughly equal.

Of course, there are also variables.

This King Qi had no ambition for the throne, but he was born a warrior and would be a great general no matter who he was under!

However, he was usually of one mind with the Crown Prince, so the Qin King's faction never had any designs on him.

But now that the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi have fought, and they are already so at odds on the surface, they may have already broken off relations in private. Naturally, they are eager to pull him into their camp!

"Why didn't Third Brother go to court with Eldest Brother today?"

Li Wen quickened his pace and walked to the side of the lone Li Jie. His singing, recitation, acting, and fighting were all a rhetorical question he already knew the answer to! Although Li Jie used the matter of the dragon heir to blackmail his brother, he had no intention of completely severing ties with Li Yin.

From now on, one will be the elder brother and the other the younger brother. On the basis of being brothers, they will have an additional identity. Wouldn't that make them even closer?

They all came from the same fox den, so he really looked down on Li Wen's opportunistic behavior!

"The weather's nice today, perfect for a solo walk," he casually remarked.

“Brother, you really went too far yesterday. How could you treat you so badly!” Li Wen didn’t mind Li Jie’s coldness and just blatantly stirred up trouble.

"You..." What nonsense about trying to sow discord!

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Li Jie quickly shut them up; this fellow always loved to tattle and stir up trouble.

If he were to speak carelessly and get into trouble, he might be summoned and lectured by his father again tomorrow. Therefore… the words naturally came to be like this:

“My elder brother loves me and that’s why he treats me this way. Yesterday, it was Sanhu who spoke rudely first, so I don’t blame my elder brother.”

He believed there was nothing wrong with what he said and that he handled the situation with great magnanimity.

Unexpectedly, Li Wen chuckled softly.

Immediately, she showed no mercy and ground her foot hard on his toes!

"Ouch!"

"Sanhu has long said he likes it when his elder brothers treat you this way. Second brother has always struggled to figure out how to get along with you. Is that right? Should we emphasize it more? Is it this kind of care, little brother?"
