Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

Chapter 127 Marriage Grant

Long Aotian's voice was unsteady, but he still tried to remain calm: "It's fine, not even a minor injury."

Long Batian listened to his trembling voice and naturally didn't believe it, but he knew that Long Aotian always cared about his reputation, so he said: "You are tired from playing today, so go home and rest."

"Yes."

Looking at Long Aotian being helped back by his servants, Long Batian frowned and stared at Ren Baozhi with an uncertain expression: "It's best if what happened today was an accident."

Ren Baozhi had never had any intersection with Long Batian, but since he was in a high position, he naturally had some means. He had already broken Long Aotian's ribs, so there was no need to provoke Long Batian again.

It never hurts to be cautious in everything.

Ren Baozhi had an innocent expression on her face. "It's all my fault for not being a good rider. I'll definitely practice harder in the future. This kind of accident won't happen again."

Long Batian looked unhappy: "Oh, it's your honor that Aotian is willing to approach you, don't be ungrateful."

Ren Baozhi listened to Long Batian's words without getting angry. Her face showed the fear and trepidation of a subordinate: "Thank you, Mr. Long, for your guidance."

Wang Youfu was massaging Li Yaozu's legs. Seeing Long Batian coming over with an annoyed look on his face, he felt much better and began to massage his legs even harder.

Li Yaozu saw this and asked with concern, "My dear, why is there so much noise at the edge?"

Long Batian managed to maintain his composure, "My son wanted to teach Chen Baozhi horsemanship, but Chen Baozhi wasn't very good at it, and they both fell to the ground. Not only did my son fail to teach Chen Baozhi properly, but he also caused such an unexpected disaster. I have ordered my son to return home and reflect on his mistakes."

"Hahahahaha," Li Yaozu couldn't help but laugh heartily upon hearing this. "I see that Long Aotian and Chen Baozhi are both talented and handsome, a perfect match. Wang Youfu, go and invite Chen Baozhi over."

Wang Youfu glanced at Long Batian, swept his whisk, and bowed to receive the order: "Yes."

Long Batian frowned immediately, but after just a moment, his expression returned to normal.

Soon, Ren Baozhi was led to the Imperial Court. She bowed her head and saluted: "I, a humble servant, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Li Yaozu smiled kindly: "Stand up."

"Thank you, Emperor, for your grace."

Li Yaozu wore a friendly smile. "It's been several months since we last met, and you've been in jail. How are you doing?"

Ren Baozhi had no idea what Li Yaozu was up to, so she cautiously replied, "Thanks to the Emperor's grace and his strict enforcement of the law, I have been able to survive to this day."

After saying this, she covered her lips and coughed a few times, blood seeping from the corner of her lips. As if she was afraid of losing face, she knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rude behavior."

Li Yaozu was pleased by Ren Baozhi's appearance and gestured for her to stand up. "Get up, you and Xi'er are good friends, so there's no need to be polite."

Ren Baozhi stood up, bowed, and said earnestly, "I dare not even think of overstepping the bounds of my authority. Princess Qianqiu is a member of the royal family, a woman of great wealth, while I am but a commoner, as lowly as dust. I know that there is a world of difference between me and the princess. The princess is kind-hearted and has always taken good care of me. I stay by her side only to repay her kindness. How could I dare to entertain the thought of befriending her?"

"Xi'er," Li Yaozu said to Li Qixi, "You are a good friend."

Li Qixi smiled back, "Just as Baozhi said, it's all thanks to your grace, Yeye, that we are able to have the friendship we have today."

Li Yaozu nodded slightly, then looked at Ren Baozhi again: "You, raise your head."

Ren Baozhi slowly raised her head, enduring Li Yaozu's uncomfortable scrutiny.

Li Yaozu commented, "He's handsome, but this dress takes away a bit of his elegance. Xi'er, Chen Baozhi must have learned his bad habits from you."

Li Qixi showed his boyish and innocent attitude again: "I just think that wearing this dress makes it easier to ride a horse. Why do you say that to me?"

The Fourth Emperor looked disgusted when he heard this and looked towards the Second Emperor, wanting to laugh at Li Qixi with him, but he found that the Second Emperor didn't notice his gaze at all. He pouted his cherry lips in grievance.

"Okay, okay, Xi'er, you must have your reasons for doing this," Li Yaozu asked Ren Baozhi, "When did you come of age?"

Ren Baozhi was worried and told the truth: "The tenth day of the fourth month."

"That will be soon. Since you are Xi'er's best friend, your status will naturally rise accordingly. Xi'er has pleaded for you, so you don't need to observe mourning," Li Yaozu said. "I believe you and Long Aotian, the son of Lord Long, are a match made in heaven. I will grant you a marriage contract today. What do you think?"

Ren Baozhi almost couldn't help but change her expression. She didn't know what Li Yaozu was up to.

It's not that she is belittling herself. No matter what, Long Aotian and she are not a good match now. What kind of connection is he trying to make?

Is this also the control of the plot?

In order to get the heroine and heroine together, even the emperor was forced to lower his intelligence?

At the side, Long Batian's expression grew increasingly grim. He took a few steps forward and knelt beside Ren Baozhi. "Saint, I have devoted all my energy and energy to Dawu. I have never cared about romantic relationships, and I know nothing about love. Please rescind your order!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head to the ground and knelt for a long time without getting up.

Li Yaozu said in a bad tone: "Mr. Long, are you dissatisfied with my marriage?"

For the first time, hatred towards Li Yaozu flashed across Long Batian's eyes, but because he was kowtowing at the time, no one noticed: "This old minister dare not!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, the second emperor's heart sank.

The position of Tainan has been vacant all the time. He has now eliminated his third brother, and the only remaining fourth brother is a hopeless person and is not a concern.

As long as Wu Wencang has no son, he will be one step closer to the position of Grand Duke.

The Long Batian lineage is his supporter in the former court. Could it be that what Li Yaozu did today was directed at him?

He pursed his lips, unsure of what Li Yaozu was thinking, so he didn't speak rashly. Instead, he chose to wait and see.

Ren Baozhi could not have anything to do with Long Aotian under any circumstances. She forced herself to calm down and think of a way to deal with the situation.

But in such a critical situation, who can really stay calm?

Just when she was in a state of panic, she suddenly felt a gentle gaze falling on her. She raised her head slightly, and in front of everyone, she met Wu Wencang's eyes for a moment.

In just that instant, Ren Baozhi understood the meaning in Wu Wencang's eyes.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to speak." Ren Baozhi knelt down again and kowtowed deeply, his eyes cautiously falling on the tip of Li Yaozu's boots. "I have something to say."

Li Yaozu's face was gloomy. "Are you also dissatisfied with this marriage?"
