Chapter 365 - 362: Arrogance_1
Lu Ping dragged Li Mingtang over just as Left Prime Minister Li Mao’s carriage was approaching.
"First Lady, Uncle Ping is here!" Shen Qingzhu said before stepping aside.
Lu Ping nodded to Shen Qingzhu, walked to the carriage, and whispered, "First Lady, Li Mingtang is still breathing. There are many onlookers."
"I know!" She responded coldly. "Wait for Li Mao’s carriage to stop and throw Li Mingtang in front of it."
"Yes!" Lu Ping cupped his fists in response. He stood by the carriage with Shen Qingzhu, gripping his sword tightly and staring intently at Li Mao’s carriage.
Inside the Li family’s carriage, Li Mao closed his eyes, contemplating how the emperor had mentioned the disaster in Yanwo during court today. The Crown Prince’s words in favor of King Liang seemed ill-intentioned.
The Crown Prince had praised King Liang, saying that King Liang was the emperor’s son and accompanied by the eldest son, who had been carefully taught by Left Prime Minister Li Mao. General Shi Panshan was assisting him. There was never such a grand mobilization for disaster relief. He advised the emperor not to underestimate King Liang’s abilities just because he did not show his talents daily. If King Liang put his mind to it, he would surely handle the disaster.
The Crown Prince’s proud demeanor of his brother satisfied the emperor.
But the implication was that if the disaster was not handled well, it would be King Liang’s fault.
Li Mao was deep in thought when the coachman said, "My lord, the road ahead is blocked. It looks like the carriage of the Princess of Zhen."
