Duanmu Yunji had said all this, and Liu Hongjing was helpless. It seemed that the fact that the husband and wife were at odds and the brothers were fighting had turned from a secret fight to an open fight.
"Let's go." He said to Luo Lianyi and Xue Shufei beside him.
"Your Majesty!" Duanmu Yunji bowed her knees slightly with no expression on her face.
Liu Hongjing turned around and led everyone away from Qingning Palace. After returning to Ruoxi Palace, Liu Hongjing looked worried and sighed.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry." Luo Lianyi knew that he was worried about the antidote.
"Why am I not in a hurry?" Liu Hongjing's eyes fell on her hair.
"What should we do if the antidote is really cut off by King Jing next month?" Concubine Xue Shu frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, King Jing has now deceived Princess Mayisha into trusting her, and secretly sent people to southern Xinjiang to seek support. The rebellion is inevitable. In his heart, he is already full of confidence in this rebellion." Luo Lianyi said.
.
Liu Hongjing's thick eyebrows tightened and he said: "I have started planning to prevent the eldest prince from rebelling many years ago. Therefore, although the Duanmu family is powerful on the surface, the real military power has been secretly entrusted to Xiang Nan's father.
On the day of the marriage between the eldest prince and Mayisha, I had secretly ordered General Sima to lead his troops quietly southward, in order to prevent southern Xinjiang from being harmful to Xiling."
"Your Majesty is far-sighted." Luo Lianyi and Concubine Xue Shu praised simultaneously.
"The ambition of the eldest prince can be said to be 'everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart'. It is impossible for me not to be on guard." Liu Hongjing smiled lightly.
Luo Lianyi nodded and continued what he said before: "Prince Jing is the emperor's eldest son, but the emperor gave the position of prince that should have belonged to him to the fourth prince, so he has been accumulating resentment in his heart."
Liu Hongjing smiled bitterly: "I do owe their mother and son in this matter, so I can still give them a chance until now. As long as they put aside their hatred and rebellious intentions, I can absolve them of their guilt."
"However, the emperor's exemption from their guilt cannot stop them from moving forward. After so many years of painstaking planning, they cannot stop, and King Jing's heart has long been twisted. He has already told me personally
, he will take away everything the prince has, including his country and his women!" Luo Lianyi said.
Liu Hongjing looked at Luo Lianyi with complicated eyes. Woman! This woman in front of him! Is it his or the prince's?
Facing Liu Hongjing's eyes, Luo Lianyi blushed and lowered her head.
Concubine Xue Shu quickly changed the subject: "By the way, the beauty soup I made for the princess should be ready. I'll ask the girl to bring it."
"Thank you, Concubine Shu." Luo Lianyi thanked her.
Liu Hongjing looked at her face and sighed again.
"Your Majesty, Lianyi hasn't finished speaking yet. Prince Jing wants to get me now, so he will never let me turn into a gray-haired old woman. This is why I dare to leave the palace in a big way." Luo Lianyi said.
Liu Hongjing nodded, thought for a while and said, "But he will soon face the pressure from the Queen. He has always obeyed his mother's instructions since he was a child. I wonder if he will disobey her this time."
Luo Lianyi frowned and said, "We're not sure now. Fortunately, there's still a month left. We'll think of countermeasures based on the situation. In short, we can't just watch Tong Fu'an harm others."
"That's all it can do." Liu Hongjing nodded.
Concubine Xue Shu's maid brought supplements. Everyone stopped discussing and let Luo Lianyi eat first.
But in Qingning Palace, Liu Huo had heard the news and rushed over. Before he could stand firm, Duanmu Yunji had slapped him on the face.
"Mother!" Liu Huo frowned.
Duanmu Yunji glared at him angrily and sneered: "Are you really attracted to that bitch?"
Liuhuo covered her face and said noncommittally, "Mother, at that time it was my son's private matter."
"Pa—" Another slap hit him on the face again, and Duanmu Yunji looked at him angrily.
"Mother!" Liu Huo finally showed a sullen look on his face.
"A private matter? How dare you tell your mother that this is a private matter? Do you know that she used your personal relationship to threaten me today and kidnap Tong Fu'an?" Duanmu Yunji said sharply.
Liu Huo was speechless. He remembered that Luo Lianyi had taken advantage of his thoughts when he left the palace, and he couldn't help but sit down with a depressed look on his face.
"What do you want to do to this woman?" Duanmu Yunji pressed.
"Not really." Liu Huo replied angrily.
"I hope you don't think about anything! As long as you ascend the throne, these people will all die!" Duanmu Yunji said harshly.
"But we can't let her die now. She is a good chess player to contain the father and the prince." Liu Huo said.
"I know that you can prevent her from dying, but you can make her life worse than death." Duanmu Yunji sat down, picked up the tea cup, and took a slow sip of tea.
Liuhuo was silent for a while and said: "Okay, let's do this for now. Her toxicity won't show up now. No matter what my son says, they won't let Tong Fuan go. Anyway, they won't kill him, so let him stay in jail now."
Come on, let’s talk about it next month and a half.”
Duanmu Yunji nodded slightly: "Well, I hope you won't do anything that makes me sad, and don't ruin the efforts I have made for you over the years. Today, I have completely broken with your father, and there is no way for us to look back.
It’s time to go.”
Liuhuo nodded and said, "My son understands."
"As long as you understand." Duanmu Yunji rolled her eyes at him, and after a while asked, "How is Mayisha's health?"
"It's okay, I'm resting in bed." Liu Huo replied.
Duanmu Yunji sighed: "Well, you have to take better care of her. Your future cannot be separated from her support."
"I know," Liu Huo replied, with a look of impatience on his face.
"I know that you have no feelings for her. After you ascend the throne, I will find an outstanding woman for you. Why are you anxious?" Duanmu Yunji smiled coldly.
Liu Huo rubbed his eyebrows, nodded and said, "That's what the Queen Mother said."
Duanmu Yunji glanced at him, waved her hand and said, "Seeing how impatient you are, forget it, go back."
"Yes." Liu Huoru stood up and stepped back. After leaving Qingning Palace, he sighed, looked in the direction of Ruoxi Palace where the emperor lived, and stopped.
She must be there, and he suddenly wanted to see her. He asked himself in his heart, could he really be cruel and make her suffer again? Can he really watch her beauty turn gray before his eyes? He shook his head silently and walked over there involuntarily.
, stepped into the courtyard of Ruoxi Palace without realizing it.
Luo Lianyi took supplements in Ruoxi Palace and then returned to Shicui Palace. She had just come out with Feng Lin and Xiao Gudong, and when she raised her head, she bumped into Liu Huo.
Liu Huo stared at her blankly, silent.
Luo Lianyi had a sullen face and planned to ignore him and pass by him.
