Li Hongyuan said, âYouâre not being polite.â
âPolite for what?â
âMu Jian is, after all, my man. What you did to him, not even informing me?â
âYour Highness, when you gave Mu Jian to me yesterday, I understood. No need for you to explain more.â
â⦠What did you understand?â
âWe must be in tune with each other.â
ââ¦â
Li Hongyuan thought, this woman could really talk.
âAnyway,â Jiang Ning summed up, âI will never let Mu Jian go. Not only because he framed me and the Jiang Family, but also because he hurt Concubine Jin. No matter how you feel about Concubine Jin, I consider her family. Taking revenge for family is justified and natural.â
âIf Mu Jian dies, and you havenât found out anything, the clues will be completely cut off.â
âImpossible.â
âOh?â
âYour Highness, you canât possibly think that that person trained Mu Jian for ten years, just to harm Concubine Jin, right?â Jiang Ning raised a finger, âHe must have a bigger conspiracy. So, he will continue to take action. As long as he wants to die, he will surely expose himself. And I can definitely catch him!â
She was so confident.
So much so that Li Hongyuan almost believed she was the legendary avatar of justice.
Li Hongyuan knew he couldnât get Mu Jian back.
In fact, as Jiang Ning said, from the moment he agreed to let Mu Jian escort the Jiang Family home, he had already given up on Mu Jian.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Hongyuan would never show mercy to a traitor.
Even if the Jiang Family didnât take action, he wouldnât spare Mu Jian.
However, he felt a bit uncomfortable knowing that his man had been disciplined by someone else.
After listening to Jiang Ningâs babbling, Li Hongyuanâs ears were a bit tired.
âForget it, you eat. I have something else to do.â
âYour Highness,â Jiang Ning stopped him, âDo you want me to leave a complete corpse for Mu Jian, or just do whatever I want?â
â⦠Canât you⦠Not be so bloody?â
âHasnât Your Highness ever killed anyone?â
âYouâre a woman.â
âYour Highness really misunderstands women. Why donât you go and ask your beautiful, gentle, virtuous Concubine Li if she has ever killed anyone?â
âI will.â
âThatâs best.â
âTonight.â
âGo.â
âWonât you keep me?â Li Hongyuan was already at the door, then turned back to ask.
âHave a good trip.â
Li Hongyuan left without looking back.
Eunuch Li Xiu hurriedly followed: âMy Lord, arenât you staying with the Princess Consort tonight?â
âSheâs not willing; am I supposed to force myself on her? This Crown Prince is not that desperate!â
ââ¦â
Li Xiu didnât dare to answer that.
After running for a while, Li Xiu laughed, âYour Highness, the Emperor said that after the New Year, there will be a selection of beauties. At that time, a few newcomers will enter the East Palace.â
Li Hongyuan looked back at him.
Li Xiu quickly stepped back half a step and lowered his head: âThis servant talks too much.â
As the Crown Prince, having only one Main Consort and one Side Consort was indeed too few.
But Li Hongyuan was still very young, barely twenty years old, and already had a son and a daughter. The Emperor was not too worried.
What the Emperor was worried about now was another matter â
Concubine Yu was about to give birth!
The Harem hadnât seen the birth of an emperorâs heir in many years. The Emperor was getting on in years, but still vigorous, and although he was still immersed in grief over Concubine Jinâs death, he was very concerned about the child Concubine Yu was about to give birth to.
