Chapter 38 [Mother and Daughter]
Five years later, Li Yunrui finally saw Li Chengqian again.
To be precise, it was the first time we met in private.
Li Chengqian did not comment on her explanation and did not respond.
In fact, both he and the second prince had reacted at this moment.
The masked grandmaster and the mysterious archer were both sent by Emperor Qing.
In the entire palace, only he has such strength and means.
Therefore, after the two of them left the royal villa, they never mentioned anything about the Grand Master.
He even reminded Lin Wan'er not to say too much about it.
The purpose of Emperor Qing's move was obvious, which was to test Li Chengqian's ability.
In recent years, Crown Prince Li Chengqian has been wielding more and more power. Although he has never touched Emperor Qing's bottom line, it has certainly made him worried.
Therefore, it is not surprising that there is such a temptation.
"Gan'er..." Li Yunrui suddenly sat down beside the bed and called him affectionately.
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Li Chengqian's mouth twitched slightly.
Xia Lan treated his wound and left. Suddenly, there were only two people left in the room.
"Now, His Majesty seems to be quite afraid of you and may intend to reduce your power." Li Yunrui said bluntly.
"Then what do you think, aunt?" Li Chengqian changed into a comfortable position, leaning against the pillow, and asked.
Li Chengqian is still unable to figure out Emperor Qing's intentions, but this old fox is indeed difficult to deal with.
Today in the woods, he discovered the two hidden people at the first moment.
Therefore, he did not take action.
In fact, before setting out, he had already anticipated that Emperor Qing might take this opportunity to test his background.
However, no one expected that Emperor Qing would send Hong Sixiang and Yan Xiaoyi at the same time.
It’s really a big investment!
The old fox is indeed different.
This test seems to be disguised, but in fact it is blatant.
Emperor Qing was certain that even if he and the Second Prince guessed his identity, they would never say anything.
On the contrary, they will conceal it.
"You have been too aggressive in recent years. You can be more restrained when necessary," said Li Yunrui.
Li Chengqian was naturally very clear about this matter.
Many civil and military officials wrote to Emperor Qing more than once, impeaching the crown prince for being too powerful.
Emperor Qing has been suppressing this for many years.
However, given his suspicious personality, he must have been afraid for a long time.
It was not until today that I took the first step to test it.
Li Chengqian felt that Emperor Qing was about to take action.
To this end, he must prepare early to deal with possible changes that may occur at any time.
Emperor Qing is similar to Cao Cao, with a suspicious personality.
Success is due to suspicion, and failure is also due to suspicion.
"Recently, the Inspection Bureau seems to have also set its sights on you," said Li Yunrui.
"That Yan Bingyun?" Li Chengqian chuckled.
It wasn't recently, but five years ago that Yan Bingyun had set his sights on him, and he had known about this for a long time.
Speaking of Yan Bingyun, Li Chengqian shook his head slightly.
This person must not be reused.
His background alone has determined everything.
If such a person stayed in Qing State and held a high position, and one day he knew his own life experience, the consequences would be...
Who can let go of the hatred for the murder of one's father and the extermination of one's clan?
"You and Wan'er..." Li Yunrui wanted to say something but stopped suddenly halfway through his words.
"What do you want to say?" Li Chengqian asked.
"I have a plan, are you willing to do it?"
"Come on, Auntie, it's impossible for you to harm me. After all, you and I..."
Li Chengqian looked at her with a half-smile, but Li Yunrui felt a little embarrassed, which was unusual for her.
With such an expression, a vixen like her, I wonder if she is pretending.
However, the charm in that look is heart-warming.
The low-cut slit dress also allowed Li Chengqian to see everything.
She came today and could dress up, just to give benefits. Now, it is known to the world that Li Yunrui has no blood relationship with the royal family.
Therefore, Li Chengqian was not afraid of the matter being exposed.
No more worries!
"If you like Wan'er, I can talk to His Majesty and grant her to you in marriage."
Li Yunrui's words made Li Chengqian suddenly silent.
At this time, Emperor Qing had not yet granted Lin Wan'er's marriage to Fan Xian.
However, I think things will progress soon.
According to the schedule, Fan Xian would soon arrive in Beijing at this time.
Today, Chen Pingping is still in Kyoto.
As soon as he leaves Beijing, Emperor Qing will issue an edict to grant the marriage. Fan Jian sends a red-armored knight to Danzhou to pick up Fan Xian and bring him to Beijing.
Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't speak, Li Yunrui hesitated for a moment, then suddenly moved closer and whispered in his ear:
"When the time comes, Wan'er and I will both be yours."
The voice is charming.
The two of them were so close that they could feel each other's heat.
The scent of a mature young woman filled my nose.
"After five years, Auntie is testing me with this?"
Li Chengqian did not refuse, but did not agree either. He just smiled faintly.
Li Yunrui wisely did not continue the topic and said:
"Was this hunting already part of your plan?" Li Yunrui's question came somewhat suddenly.
She looked at Li Chengqian with an inquiring look.
"What do you think, Auntie?"
Li Chengqian's attitude was very vague, which made it even more difficult to understand.
Emperor Qing is testing me today.
Li Yunrui came here for testing.
Do you really think she is so kind and wants to visit you out of concern?
fart!
There is no simple person in this imperial palace.
Everything we do and every word we say, more or less, has a purpose.
Here, if you believe other people’s lies, you are not far from becoming a ghost.
In the end, Li Yunrui didn't stay long and got up and left.
After leaving the East Palace, the personal maid followed her all the time.
"Your Highness, have you found out anything?" the maid asked in a low voice.
“No, this little fox is very secretive and has a deep mind, so it’s very difficult to deal with him.
I used myself and Wan'er as bargaining chips, but I still couldn't make him relax."
Speaking of this, Li Yunrui frowned slightly. Now, she felt that she could no longer understand this young man.
There are four maids around him, two of whom are ninth-grade, and the four swords combined into one can actually severely injure the grandmaster.
Hidden deep enough!
Li Yunrui suspected that he might be hiding something.
I came here today just to give it a try.
However, the little fox was not fooled.
"This hunt, it seems that the second brother won a great victory, but in fact, he is the final winner!" Li Yunrui sighed.
"Prince?" The maid was a little confused.
The prince was seriously injured and his cards were exposed, so how could he be the winner in the end?
The maid didn't understand.
"He took the opportunity to reveal his trump card and no longer hide it. The timing and means were just right, which made people feel at ease.
Most importantly, he passed His Majesty's trials and tests.
Next, it is very likely that His Majesty will trust him more, use him more, and support him.
As for the second brother, he was completely defeated by the prince in this competition.
He won a great victory externally, but only he knew how aggrieved he felt. "
The maid seemed to understand but not quite, and could only sigh in her heart that the palace was really deep.
It's a simple thing, but it's full of twists and turns.
