Young Master Li was not troubled at all. He had been torn between the second and third wives since he was very young. The second wife demanded that since he had obtained the title, he should devote himself to it wholeheartedly, but the third wife did not want him to forget his roots. They pulled him from both sides without ever considering how guilty and conflicted he felt. They only wanted to get what they wanted from him.
After living like this for a long time, Master Li Xiaojue felt that everything in the world could be measured by whether it was worth it or not.
What is valuable should be used, and what is worthless should naturally be discarded. This goes for everything.
If the goal is achieved this time, it will be of great benefit to his future, and it will also help Princess Mingchang vent her anger. To her, the status of his grandson will be raised to a higher level. In any case, it is worth taking the risk.
Emperor Yuanfeng looked at him steadily for a while, and suddenly called out "Eunuch Chen".
Eunuch Chen came in hurriedly, bent over and waited by the side, speaking quietly with his hands hanging down.
"Go and invite Princess Yongning and her husband." Emperor Yuanfeng tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Master Li Xiaojue with a half-smile: "I have something to ask them."
Princess Yongning has also entered the palace? !
Master Li Xiaojue's mind went blank with a buzzing sound. He looked up suddenly in disbelief and subconsciously clenched his fists. The nails of both hands dug into the flesh. He almost screamed in pain, but reason stopped him. He had to turn his head to look at Su Rong's face.
how so
His people were clearly keeping an eye on the Su family. After he came out, everyone who came in and out of the Su family was under his surveillance. Not even a fly could fly out to Princess Yongning's mansion.
It is impossible that the Su family leaked the news.
If the Su family hadn't tipped off, Princess Yongning and the others would have come into the palace at this time... Is it just because it's New Year's Eve that they came into the palace early
His mind was in a mess, as if a string of firecrackers had exploded in his brain. He couldn't help but guess all kinds of possibilities. It was not until he heard Princess Yongning paying her respects to Tang Yuan that he suddenly woke up.
At this time, Princess Yongning and Tang Yuan had been exempted from kneeling by Emperor Yuanfeng and were standing on the side. Master Li Xiaojue suddenly jumped in surprise for no reason.
On the other side, Emperor Yuanfeng had already called Princess Yongning to stand up with a smile, and then asked Princess Yongning: "Are you hiding anything from me?"
This sounded like a joke, and Emperor Yuanfeng's eyes were smiling, but no one would really take it as a joke.
Princess Yongning was particularly solemn. She knelt down again almost subconsciously and kowtowed heavily: "I dare not!"
Tang Yuan also looked panicked. He knelt down following Princess Yongning, his face turning purple and he was at a loss as to what to do.
"You really don't dare?" Emperor Yuanfeng sat down and did not call them to stand up. Instead, he said calmly, "Then why did I hear that you are raising the children of the rebel officials in Yunnan? And they came to your house and hoped that you would help run errands in the court? Speak for them?"
Master Li's chaotic thoughts finally became clear for a moment because of this question.
Although what Su Rong said didn't sound right, as long as the result was right, it didn't matter who was the real person behind it all.
Anyway, Princess Yongning's Mansion will not have any good results at that time. Even if they know that everything was done by him behind the scenes, what can they do
What’s important is that the child’s identity is exactly the same as Miss Mu San’s.
As long as Emperor Yuanfeng orders the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate, they will be able to find out.
Princess Yongning was even more surprised. Her lips trembled for several times before she suddenly called out "Royal brother".
Prince Consort Tang didn't dare to say a word and just cried out that he was innocent.
Princess Yongning's tears suddenly overflowed.
Thinking of what Song Xiangyu had said a few days ago, Princess Yongning took a deep breath and tears fell down. Years of grievances suddenly burst out. She didn't even need to deliberately mobilize her emotions, she was already excited enough: "Brother! How could I do such a thing?! For so many years... I have always followed the rules and dared not to overstep the line. Even so, I still wanted to be cautious and careful, for fear of making a mistake."
This was Princess Yongning's inner voice. She burst into tears and said, "Brother, what kind of person am I? Don't you really know? Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing! Besides, if I really raised the rebels' child as others said, where did I put the child? What is his status? Even if I take a step back, how could I agree to Miss Mu's request? How dare I come to the palace on a day like this and specially mention Miss Mu's matter to you and ask for an audience with you on her behalf?"
... ..
Master Li was completely stunned and could no longer react.
What did Princess Yongning say just now
Did she come to the palace to ask Miss Mu San to meet Emperor Yuanfeng
Is she crazy?!
She had clearly raised the child of the previous chieftain, which was already a serious crime punishable by beheading. Moreover, Miss Mu San’s identity was sensitive now. How could she dare to be so frank with Emperor Yuanfeng and even help Miss Mu San to meet with Emperor Yuanfeng? !
Things seem to have changed completely and are not like that at all!
He realized it belatedly and interrupted, "Your Majesty, please don't listen to Princess Yongning's excuses. She did indeed adopt the child of the former chieftain of Yunnan and raised him as her own son. If you ask around Yunnan and Guizhou, you will find that many people know about that child... That child can even speak the Miao dialect..."
"So it was you, a scum, who fabricated slander and framed me behind my back!" Princess Yongning was furious, tears streaming down her face. "I have been oppressed by your grandmother my entire life. I have been servile and subservient to her, afraid to even breathe, wishing I could be obedient to her. I just offended her a little, but she hated me so much that she wanted to kill me?!"
She was so angry that she was shaking violently. She pointed at Master Li Xiaojue and cursed him twice, then turned her head and looked at Emperor Yuanfeng resolutely: "Your Majesty! True gold is not afraid of fire. I did adopt two children in Guizhou, but that was out of your kindness. The Tang family has been guarding Guizhou for generations, and the natives in Guizhou also often have disputes. When they fight, they will not show mercy to women and children. They are afraid that the children will take revenge when they grow up, so they simply cut the grass and root it out. The general can't stand it, so when he is dealing with the dispute for them, he will bring back some children and raise them in the homes of his subordinates... There are also very young ones, and we can't bear to raise them, so we keep them at home first..."
