King Ji stood up, frowning, "Who is so bold?"
Li Yuan said, "It's Li Xuanjing's son."
King Ji sat back down.
As a first-rank King, he obviously wasn't afraid of Li Xuanjing.
But Li Xuanjing wasn't afraid of him either.
The two of them belonged to a mutual stalemate where neither could do anything to the other. The difference was, although he didn't vie for the throne, he still had some followers and his own circle of support.
Li Xuanjing couldn't touch him, but he could touch his subordinates.
If he angered Li Xuanjing, he would definitely take his anger out on others.
Whereas Li Xuanjing was a loner, having not even half a friend in the court. If King Ji wanted to retaliate, he wouldn't even know whom to target.
The former Chang'an County Magistrate's son broke the law and sought his protection. Before he could make a move, both father and son were dead in the Ministry of Justice's Heavenly Prison...
If Li Xuanjing wanted someone dead, King Ji couldn't protect them.
