Li Yuan.

Inner courtyard.

In the room, the sound of burning coals crackled.

Nearly three months after the Chinese New Year, the cold winter seems to have not passed yet.

Li Ziye sat by the fire pot and looked at a pile of files on the table, one after another.

In the next room, Hongzhu is teaching all the skills that women should master, such as bead-returning and disguise, makeup, tea art, etc.

Huan Zhu learns it very quickly. Basically, he can remember it after being taught it once and repeat it in a consistent manner. Therefore, it is very worry-free to teach Hongzhu.

"Brother, drink tea."

When the sun set, Huanzhu walked in with a cup of tea and said softly.

"Did you cook it?"

Li Ziye put down the file in his hand, took the tea, and asked.

"Um."

Huanzhu nodded slightly.

"I'll try it."

Li Ziye picked up the tea and took a sip, then nodded and said, "Not bad, how about it, are you used to it?"

"Habit."

Huanzhu responded softly and said, "Sister Zhang and Sister Hongzhu are both very good to me."

"They are family members and they should treat you well."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "The world is dangerous, and only your home can make you feel at ease. So, no matter what, you must protect your home, do you understand?"

"clear."

Huanzhu nodded again and responded.

"Go and rest."

Li Ziye took a look at the sky outside and said.

"Huanzhu excuses himself."

Huanzhu responded, then stood up and retreated.

In the room, the bonfire crackled, Li Ziye picked up the intelligence files of the two princes and read them carefully again.

Not long after, all the files on the table were read.

Li Ziye stared at the two piles of files on the table, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

With limited energy, the two of them can only choose one to deal with first.

Let's see who is unlucky.

Thinking of this, Li Ziye casually threw the file of one of the princes into the brazier.

Suddenly, the flames shot up in the brazier and burned more fiercely.

The next day.

It won't be long before dawn.

Li Ziye left the mansion, took a carriage, and headed south of the east city.

Southeast of the capital, in a quiet small courtyard.

Yu Qingxuan got up early and cleaned up the fallen snow in the courtyard, living alone without being disturbed by outsiders.

Not long after.

In front of the courtyard, the carriage stopped. Li Ziye got out of the carriage and looked at the woman in the courtyard with a smile.

"Midnight."

When Yu Qingxuan saw the person coming, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he said, "When did you come back?"

"The night before yesterday."

Li Ziye stepped into the courtyard and said with a gentle expression, "I went to Taixue Palace yesterday to do some errands, so I'm here today."

"I heard you won the battle?"

Yu Qingxuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

"Well, I won."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "How are you doing recently? Didn't you go to Li Garden for the Chinese New Year?"

"No."

Yu Qingxuan shook his head and said, "During the Chinese New Year, I was invited by Princess Sisi to the Donglin Palace, but I didn't go to Li Garden."

"King Donglin?"

When Li Ziye heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I have had a relationship with Princess Sisi. The last time we were in Zanglu Garden, I saw Princess Donglin's intentions and wanted to marry Princess Sisi.

The Lord promised it to His Highness the Fourth Highness."

"Princess Sisi also mentioned this matter to me."

Yu Qingxuan nodded and said, "The princess does have this intention."

"Good."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "We are a good match."

"Your Majesty still needs to nod."

Yu Qingxuan said softly, "Princess Sisi is the daughter of King Wu after all. The marriage cannot be decided lightly."

"Of course."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "However, Princess Sisi has a good status, so I believe that Your Majesty will not object to this marriage. That kid Mu Bai will be able to bear it this time."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Yu Qingxuan couldn't help but scolded softly, "His Fourth Highness is the prince."

"Oh."

Li Ziye smiled softly and said, "There are no outsiders here. If you don't say anything, and if I don't say it, no one can hear it."

Yu Qingxuan shook his head and signaled not to talk nonsense.

Li Ziye didn't seem to care and continued, "Qingxuan, why don't you ask me how I won the battle with Huo Lin'er?"

"How did you win?"

Yu Qingxuan asked subconsciously.

"The most precious treasure of the demon clan."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Li Yuan, there once came a Xuanfeng Demon King. His understanding of speed was the best in the world. My Li family spent a lot of money to obtain a demon clan treasure from him, plus the Xuanfeng Demon King."

The king’s unique secret technique, so I can defeat Huo Lin’er.”

"Midnight!"

After hearing what the former said, Yu Qingxuan's face suddenly changed and he said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Why are you so nervous?"

Li Ziye had a puzzled look on his face, but quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Forget it, I'll just keep it quiet. When you have the chance, go to Li Garden and let you see the treasures left by the Xuanfeng Demon King."

, it will definitely open your eyes.”

"Master Li, I still have something to do, so I won't keep you here. You can leave quickly."

Yu Qingxuan suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and then pushed the person in front of him who was talking nonsense out of the yard.

"What's wrong, Qingxuan?"

Li Ziye asked in surprise, and then said helplessly, "That's all, I'll go back first. If you have time, come to Li Garden and we can have a good chat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ziye turned around, got on his horse, and left in the carriage.

About half an hour later.

In front of the small courtyard.

An ordinary-looking carriage stopped in the distance, and then two figures walked up one behind the other.

It was the eldest prince Mu Yuan and the old eunuch Zhao Jie.

"Your Highness."

When Yu Qingxuan saw the person coming, he had a bad feeling in his heart and stepped forward to salute.

"The Li family's legitimate son just left?"
