Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Mrs. He came to say goodbye.

She has lived in the palace for two days, if she stays any longer, she will be gossiped about.

Li Ji said: "You don't have to care what other people think, you can stay here as long as you want."

Mrs. He was very surprised, she just said that she wanted to go home, how did King Zhao know about her worries? King Zhao's ability to figure out people's hearts is also too powerful.

she smiled.

"Even if others don't tell me, I still want to go back.

I can't live here forever.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things at home, and I can take care of them earlier when I go back.

As long as you don't think I'm annoying, I'll come to the house to bother you when I'm free in the future. "

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, Li Ji didn't try to persuade her anymore, just said.

"I'll ask Gao Shan to prepare a car to take you back."

He Shi: "Then I will be in trouble."

Hua Manman looked at her eagerly.

"Mother, my daughter misses you."

He Shi was also very reluctant in her heart, she tried her best to put on a relaxed and natural look.

"It's not like we won't see each other in the future, what's there to be reluctant about?

You take good care of your injuries at home, don't run around, obediently listen to the prince, I will visit you again when I have time. "

She originally wanted to mention the matter of giving birth, but when she thought about her daughter's unlovable appearance when she mentioned giving birth, she was really afraid that her daughter would do something stupid, so she could only forcefully swallow the words went back.

No matter how important it is to have a child, it is not as important as the life of a daughter.

With Li Ji's support, Hua Manman walked out of the bedroom.

She wanted to send Mrs. He to the gate, but Mrs. He refused.

"It rained yesterday, and the ground is not completely dry, so it will inevitably be a little slippery. If you accidentally fall down, it's not good, so send it here."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. He became ruthless, stopped looking at her daughter, and turned around quickly to leave.

Watching He Shi go away, Li Ji suddenly said something in a low voice.

"I envy you."

Hua Manman looked up at him, not knowing why: "Why do you envy me?"

Li Ji didn't answer.

He doesn't just envy Manman, he also envies Li Yan and Li Yi.

They all have a mother who loves them deeply.

...

The palace announced to the outside world that Concubine Liu Gui had an emergency and died.

The emperor decreed that he should be buried with the ceremony of a noble concubine.

Five days later, Liu Ze paraded through the streets in a prison van, and was finally taken to a downtown area, where he was cut off with a knife until he died of blood.

All the male members of the Liu family were distributed to the frontiers, while the female family members were used as official prostitutes.

The huge Liu family fell apart in the blink of an eye.

The tree falls and the hozen scatter.

The vassals who had gathered around Liu Ze also dispersed.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Concubine Liu Gui was buried.

The Fifth Prince Li Yan was holding the memorial tablet and limped at the front of the funeral procession.

His eyes were already red and swollen from crying, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his whole body was almost thin.

In the private room on the second floor of a certain teahouse, Li Ying was standing by the window.

He quietly watched Liu Guifei's funeral procession go further and further.

It wasn't until the funeral procession could no longer be seen that Li Ying just looked away and closed the window.

At the same time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Wu Wang, who was wearing ordinary clothes, walked in, followed by Liang Yong.

Li Ying called his uncle.

The two sat down at the table, Liang Yong picked up the teapot and poured tea for them.

Wu Wang: "Concubine Liu Gui is dead, and Zijuan has committed suicide in the Punishment Department. This clue has been completely broken, and no one can find out about His Highness the Fourth Highness."

Li Ying: "Even if there is no clue, father will not reduce his suspicion of me and the second prince."

The fifth prince became disabled and completely lost the chance to compete for the crown prince. The two who benefited the most from this matter were the second prince Li Hao and the fourth prince Li Ying.

One less competitor means they are one step closer to success.

Liang Yong asked tentatively.

"It's better to find a way to divert the trouble to the east, deepen the suspicion on the second prince, and make him a scapegoat."

Wu Wang frowned: "A sage is not the kind of person who is easily deceived by appearances. The more we want to pour dirty water on the second prince, the easier it is to arouse the sage's suspicion, and it may backfire in the end."

Liang Yong said embarrassingly: "It's because the servants think too easily."

Wu Wang looked at his nephew sitting across from him.

"What does your Highness think about this matter?"

Li Ying gently stroked the rim of the teacup with her fingertips: "I think we should do the opposite. Although Zijuan is dead, her parents and family are still there. We can use this to make arrangements."

He paused when he said this, his expression became unclear.

"But in this way, Zijuan's past will be dug out. After all, people are already dead. It's not kind to do so."

Wu Wang took a deep look at him and said, "As long as the goal can be achieved, some sacrifices are understandable."

Li Ying said slowly.

"It was you who saved Zijuan back then, and you were the one who made her approach Liu Guifei step by step.

In order to protect you, she even took her own life by herself.

She is really loyal to you, are you really willing to let her lose her reputation after death? "

Wu Wang remained silent.

Li Ying looked at him fixedly, and said word by word.

"As long as you say no, I will treat it as if I have never said anything, and I will never use Zicuckoo's thoughts again."

Wu Wang met his nephew's eyes.

There was a kind of anticipation hidden in that gaze that even he himself hadn't noticed.

Wu Wang thought to himself, what is Li Ying looking forward to?

Could it be that he was expecting him to give up this plan because of Zicuckoo's reputation?

Wu Wang said calmly.

"Since Zijuan is willing to die for me, it means she is willing to do anything, even if it means sacrificing her own reputation.

I don't need to change the plan in consideration of her feelings, just do everything as the Fourth Highness said.

I believe that she has knowledge under the spring and will understand me. "

Li Ying stared at him blankly.

He thought that Zijuan held a different position in his uncle's heart.

After all, Zijuan gave everything for her uncle, including her life.

As long as the uncle still has a little feeling as a human being, he will be more or less moved.

But no.

His uncle was so calm from the beginning to the end, like a cold stone, nothing could move him.

Wu Wangyu spoke sincerely.

"If you want to achieve a great cause, the first thing to do is to cut off the roots of love, and don't ruin your own great affairs for those illusory feelings."

Li Ying murmured: "Is a person without emotions and desires still a human being?"

Wu Wang asked leisurely.

"As long as you can be the final winner, what does it matter if you are human?"

Li Ying lowered his eyes and looked at the tea in the cup. His voice was clear and cold, like jade without emotion.

"Since even my uncle doesn't care about Zijuan's feelings, why should I hesitate, Liang Yong, send someone to go to Zijuan's hometown and do something for me."

Liang Yong stepped forward to listen to the order: "Your Highness, please give me instructions."
