The next day, Duke Li, who had 'fainted and was injured,' awoke, extremely weak.
He convened the civil and military officials of the Duke Mansion, saying that he was old. The day before, the Cold Spring Marquis of Ying Country suffered a fire that burned down part of the estate. He could no longer guide the city of Xiyi in this chaotic world.
A new successor needed to be chosen.
Within the Duke Mansion, there were also civil and military officials and staff generals. They exchanged glances, not seeing the Third Young Master.
However, Li Jianwen, usually known for his gentle and gentlemanly demeanor, had many bruises on his fists for some unknown reason.
The marks looked less like accidental impacts.
Rather, it seemed as though, with absolute anger and hostility, he had been repeatedly punching something hard, injuring himself instead. There were also faint rumors that the Third Young Master, Li Yuanxu, may have accidentally fallen off the bed while drinking and making merry.
