Jiang Ning thought about it a little and said, "In other words, when the concubine married Cheng Renyu, she didn't know about it?"

"Someone told her about it the day before she got married."

"Why is there someone, isn't it you?"

Li Hongyuan smiled: "I gave her a chance to choose. You have to know that many people in this world have no choice. She is lucky enough."

"She knew it, but she still chose to get married."

"So do you think Cheng Renyu was killed by his concubine?" Li Hongyuan asked.

"Of course."

"Not necessarily." Li Hongyuan smiled meaningfully, "Maybe Cheng Renyu had a sudden illness? Since ancient times, many men have died on women."

Jiang Ning snorted.

Both Huang Ren and Cheng Renyu died before and after.

But neither Jiang Yi nor Li Hongyuan admitted that they were the ones who killed him.

"It would be too easy for him to die like this." Jiang Ning was a little regretful, "Cheng Renyu has been the governor of Chang'an for three years, and he has many more channels to be greedy for money than Huang Ren. I believe that the ill-gotten wealth he got, It will be much more than Huang Ren.”

Li Hongyuan raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.

Jiang Ning realized something and asked hurriedly: "Is it possible that the imperial court plans to liquidate him?"

"Many people are happy to beat up a drowned dog."

"But Cheng Renyu is the Queen's man..."

"So what? Can't even the queen's people be touched?" Li Hongyuan asked, "You even dare to touch the queen herself, and you are afraid of a mere Cheng Renyu."

Jiang Ning scratched his hair and sighed: "I'm not afraid of Cheng Renyu. I'm worried that the situation will become more and more unfavorable for the East Palace. At this time, you have to deal with high officials in the court, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the civil servants and affect the emperor's attitude toward the East Palace. What you think. Moreover, it seems that King Zhao is coming back..."

"This battle will not last until the end of the year."

"It should be over by spring at the latest."

"Everything is unpredictable."

"What do you mean?" When Jiang Ning heard this, suspicion suddenly arose in her heart, "Your Highness, you can fight with King Zhao no matter what, but don't make fun of the war. It is about the lives and fortunes of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and it is also about my life. Uncle’s safety.”

Li Hongyuan sat down, poured himself tea, and said calmly: "Look at your virtue of using a villain's heart to rob a gentleman."

"Are you considered a gentleman too?"

"Then tell me, who am I?" Li Hongyuan raised his eyes.

"I am a woman," Jiang Ning pointed at herself and then at him, "you are a villain, and neither of us is easy to raise."

"Do you dare to say that the current prince is a villain?"

"I'm complimenting you."

"What do you praise me for?"

Li Hongyuan was very patient today.

Normally, he would have walked away long ago.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I praise His Highness for his cleverness."

"This sounds like a curse word." Although Li Hongyuan was dissatisfied, he actually didn't care. "On the way from Feishuang Palace, I heard another thing."

"What's up?"

"The Princess of Wutong visited Earl Anguo's Mansion and Prince Zhao's Mansion yesterday. She hugged your two sisters in public, as if they were her biological mother and daughter. She also punished several evil slaves in Prince Zhao's Mansion in public." Li Hongyuan was not convinced. He said hurriedly, "What kind of deal do you have with Prince Wutong?"

"It's okay. His daughter has to be married to you. I promise to help him solve this matter."

"What?"

"Your Highness, don't be nervous. I mean, helping him marry off his daughter is definitely not marrying you."

"It's not impossible for you to help, but," Li Hongyuan paused, "Li Yuanyuan is still well injured from Ling An's beating. If you do this, you will break her heart."
