Li Daozong was very depressed. He taught his daughter what was wrong. This beating was a disaster.

"Mr....Secretary...Don't dare..."

When he was angry, he did not dare to cause trouble for His Royal Highness. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he did not dare to reveal it.

Beating yourself is just a lesson. If you continue to be presumptuous, your highness may not be sure how to punish him.

After all, he was a prince and a royal family member, but His Royal Highness had no worries about him, which shattered all his previous thoughts.

"You can go back, but the same thing is true. Li Yan'er is now from the Prince's Mansion. If she leaves voluntarily, I will never stop her. If someone uses other means to coerce her, I will never tolerate her!"

For Xiao Zhengtai, people like Li Daozong are just people who bully the weak and fear the strong. They can be brilliant if they give him some vision.

"Yes, yes! The lower magistrate understands what the prince means, let's go now... let's go now..."

Li Daozong's face was gloomy and clear. He knew that there would be no benefits here today, so he hurriedly bowed to Xiao Zhengtai and left in a panic.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I don't know my father would do this..."

It was not until Li Daozong left that Li Yan'er mustered up the courage to look up and take everything into her.

"Do you think this prince has done the work?"

Xiao Zhengtai waved her hand gently and interrupted her. This was a silly girl, who was still helping him count the money after being sold.

Li Yan'er bit her lips tightly, preventing her from crying of grievance, and still nodded slowly.

"Don't think too much. The reason why I treat him like this is to give him a memory. It is true that he raised you for so many years, but he should not use you as a tool for profit.

Otherwise, when Tubo asked for marriage, he would not take the initiative to push you out, even if you were here in the end, he would never show up.

These days, Mei Niang brought you a lot of familiar things, which made his desire surge again, so she couldn't wait to come to pay homage to the prince.

If he really cared about you, he would never have pushed you into the fire pit at the beginning. I think you can figure out what happened."

Li Daozong didn't mind Li Yan'er at all, but Li Yan'er kept this friendship in her heart and wanted to repay this kind of grace for raising her.

"Your Highness... what you said is true? This time... this time... the marriage... isn't the one chosen by His Majesty?"

For Li Yan'er, the words of Xiao Zhengtai were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. She thought that her father and mother were indifferent to her because they had their own biological children.

But now it seems that everything is just wishful thinking, and her eyes are getting dark. If Wu Meiniang hadn't supported her, she would have almost fallen to the ground.

"There are too many royal relatives, and the father cannot remember everyone. Even if it is you, if Li Daozong is not in a hurry to recommend it, he will not remember you."

Xiao Zheng smiled helplessly. This silly girl couldn't use her brain. How could her father think about these trivial things?

This prince originally thought that he was thinking about the Tang Dynasty, so he gave up his daughter and went there to suffer. But today you also saw that you are his bargaining chip for gaining benefits.

Li Daozong did not make any extreme actions due to his majesty today, but who can guarantee whether he will continue to find trouble for Li Yaner afterwards, or do something else through Li Yaner?

Therefore, he had to sound a wake-up call for Li Yan'er. Such a scum is not worth her efforts.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Yan'er understands!"

After politely celebrating Xiao Zhengtai, Li Yan'er could no longer bear it and started crying.

"Okay, don't be sad. When Mei Niang was kicked out of the house by her brother and became a beggar, she was quite helpless. Fortunately, God is very good to Mei Niang, and we sisters met Your Highness. Now you are just like me in the past."

In order to relieve the sadness in Li Yan'er's heart, Wu Meiniang even mentioned her own past.

"Don't be so sad. Nothing matters in the face of interests. The so-called family affection is simply a joke. You all know why this prince is sitting in this position.

There are some things that you don’t want to, and you don’t want to, and blindly tolerating them will only make them worse!”

This topic is very heavy. He didn't want to mention it, but he was afraid that this kind girl would be bullied in the future.

"I'm sorry, your highness, it's because Yan'er is bad, it reminds you of unhappy things!"

The matter of Xuanwu Gate has been spread throughout Chang'an, which can be said to be a taboo topic, but now her highness has spoken out about her own affairs, which makes her feel very guilty.

"It's okay! Even if you return to the Hejian County Prince's Mansion, life will probably not be easy. If you really plan to stay, then this prince can get rid of your identity as a royal family for you and let you be an ordinary person."

Such a thing requires a quick knife to cut the mess. He doesn't want the people around him to be tied to such a thing.

Li Yan'er is Li Daozong's adopted daughter, which is something everyone knows, even in the royal family, there are records.

If she was nostalgic for this identity, he would really have to carefully consider Li Yan'er's position. At least the people who stayed by him would never have any other ties.

"Thank you for your good intentions, Yan'er is willing to stay here."

As for the so-called identity of the royal family, it was a joke to her and never had any effect at all.

Especially when she heard His Highness's words today, she completely gave up on the so-called family and never felt dissatisfied with this family. Even if she suffered grievances, she kept silently enduring it.

But now she realized that in this family, she was still an outsider from beginning to end.

"Guard Li, you go for this matter!"

Xiao Zheng was very satisfied with Li Yan'er's answer and explained to Li Junxian not far away.

After hearing the order, Li Junxian bowed to Xiao Zhengtai and turned around and left quickly.

"You guys retreat, I will go out!"

Knowing that Li Yan'er was in a bad mood, he had already said what he should say, and he did what he should do, so just leave Wu Meiniang to comfort her.

Inside Xuanzheng Hall!

Li Er and Xiao Zhengtai sat upright, listening to Li Jie reporting on the war on the attack on Kucha.

Although the Tang Dynasty won a great victory in this battle, the consumption of this battle and the losses of the soldiers still need to be reported.

"I led my troops to attack Kucha, and led a total of 100,000 troops. If it weren't for the guidance of Your Highness, I wouldn't have won easily.

In addition to the more than 3,000 people who lost money, there were less than 2,000 soldiers who suffered varying degrees, which could be considered a complete victory."

Li Ji did not hide it and said the situation of this battle. It can be said that this was a feat he had never seen in his career as a soldier.
