Chapter 72: Lord of Hualingqi, one spirit at a time
Hua Ling leaned in Li Chengyu's arms. Suddenly, Li Chengyu heard Hua Ling say: "My lord, haven't you always been curious about what wish I made last year?"
"Um?"
Hua Ling sat up, and Li Chengyu subconsciously helped her. He was a little confused, and he didn't know why Hua Ling suddenly jumped to this topic.
Hua Ling was really happy to the extreme today, so based on the principle that husband and wife should not hide anything, she wanted to tell him all the wishes she had made twice.
Li Chengyu: "Isn't it true that if you say your wish, it won't work?"
"But the prince is Hua Ling, and Hua Ling is also the prince. The husband and wife are indistinguishable from each other, so the prince has the right to know everything about Hua Ling."
Li Chengyu looked at this little girl, his little princess was really fickle, and in a few words he overturned the reason he had said before.
In fact, Li Chengyu wasn't really that curious. If Hua Ling didn't want to say more, he wouldn't force him.
"Oh? Then what exactly did you wish for?"
Hua Ling: "My first wish is that I want many good men to fall in love with me!"
Li Chengyu: "..."
At this moment, fireworks suddenly burst into the sky. It was also at this moment that Li Chengyu's face completely froze - at the moment Hua Ling finished speaking.
In fact, Prince Yu has never believed in ghosts and gods, nor in suspenseful things. However, at this moment, he really feels that Chengyang Terrace is not a very friendly place for him - g!
This time, just like the previous two times when I came with Hua Ling, I went back home early. Compared with the previous two times, it was also the earliest time I went back.
He also didn't listen to the second wish someone was about to say - he was completely uninterested!
On the way back, a certain prince had a look on his face and ignored the little princess who was chattering beside him.
Hua Ling looked depressed again. At first, she thought that if she told the prince truthfully about this matter, the prince would probably be angry. However, later she felt that the two were already husband and wife, and now there was nothing wrong with telling or even confessing.
The prince will be very happy with his confession!
But now, Hua Ling discovered that the prince was still very angry, so much so that he went out without even kissing her the next morning.
Hua Ling told Tanyou and the others about this matter with a depressed look. Tanyou was very happy. She was always very happy when she thought of Li Chengyu's deflated appearance.
Tanyou: "Hua Ling, you are really a very, very cute creature!"
Finally, there is someone who can treat Li Chengyu! Moreover, this is someone who is inadvertent and effortless, and makes Prince Yu unable to fight back - the little princess!
Hua Ling still looked plausive: "I said this based on the principle that husband and wife should be honest with each other, but the prince didn't understand me and still got angry with me."
Gardenia sighed faintly and patted Hua Ling's little head. She didn't understand why Hua Ling's thoughts were so out of control, and she suddenly wanted to tell Li Chengyu such a wish.
"Actually, it would be better if you kept it secret."
Ming Feng nodded and added: "It would be better if you forget about yourself."
Tanyou touched Hua Ling with her elbow: "Hey, by the way, did you make this wish to that idiot prince?"
Hua Ling nodded, and Tan You almost died laughing.
Mu Sirong drank tea and silently looked at Prince Yu, who was drinking alcohol and looking gloomy in front of her. She felt very happy and curious.
As for why he is like this, Mu Sirong doesn't know, but who turned Prince Yu into what he is now, Mu Sirong can definitely guess.
"Hey, it's almost done. What's going on? With this Chinese New Year expression, who owes you money?"
Li Chengyu hummed: "You don't understand."
Just yesterday, Li Chengyu had just heard that his princess had made such a wish to him with a pious and serious face, which made him unable to make any expression at that time.
That feeling was more uncomfortable than someone who owed him money, and no one could understand it. It wasn't entirely angry, but it wasn't particularly pleasant. In short, it was very complicated.
Mu Sirong held her chin up: "This makes me even more curious. Who is it that beat our shameless Prince Yu into this state? Let me guess, um... little princess?"
Li Chengyu snorted heavily, thinking that, looking around, there was no one who could make him angry except the little princess who was jumping around and chattering all day long.
However, Li Chengyu couldn't do anything to her. He could do nothing but keep a cold face.
Because of the extremely complicated emotions last night, Li Chengyu didn't touch her, for fear that he wouldn't be able to control his strength. After all, he was the one who felt distressed in the end.
Mu Sirong: "What if she did something this time?"
Li Chengyu looked at him blankly: "Can you stop looking at the excitement on your face?"
Mu Sirong was not annoyed and pointed at him: "I said you are a person who celebrates the New Year. You come to my place with a sullen face and only know how to drink and drink. I can't even stay with you, right?"
"Ah."
Mu Sirong had a smile on his face. No matter what Li Chengyu's reaction was to him now, he would not be surprised.
Mu Sirong looked at him with great interest, and Li Chengyu had a well-founded suspicion that Mu Sirong mistook him for a monkey.
"Besides watching the fun and gloating, what else do you always do?"
Mu Sirong said with a smile on her face: "I can still be a father."
Li Chengyu kicked him directly, and Mu Sirong laughed loudly: "What are you thinking? I didn't say I was yours, I meant my unborn son!"
Li Chengyu rolled his eyes, feeling even more depressed.
"Can you say something to distract me?"
Mu Sirong also drank a few glasses of wine and nodded: "Okay, let's talk about things in court."
Li Chengyu: "...You are sincerely trying to make me unhappy, right?"
Are you talking about these things during the Chinese New Year to fight fire with fire? Mu Sirong is a bitch!
Mu Sirong had a fake smile on his face: "Just be content. You came to my place and I didn't kick you out. That's enough fun. Now that you want to retire, these things should be sorted out."
Li Chengyu had a dull expression on his face and didn't feel any comfort, but he nodded.
During their expedition, Li Chenglan's actions were not small. Even with the protection of Mu Lenghan and Shen Yiran, many people who supported Li Chengyu were still secretly eliminated.
If it weren't for the Mu family and Shen family, I'm afraid there would be even more people coming down.
People who support Li Chengyu are not at the mercy of others. They can almost affect the whole body. If Li Chenglan is not prepared, he will not reach out easily. So this time, Li Chenglan is very well prepared, although he has not eradicated them all.
For his threats, these various behaviors were enough to make Li Chengyu think he was crazy.
Li Chengyu: "Lu Qing once tested me. I have never had any intention of seeking power and usurping the throne. Now I am slowly delegating power. The emperor is probably half-trustful now."
Mu Sirong: "Your plan is to retire after the new year and become an idle prince?"
Li Chengyu nodded, and when he mentioned this, he felt tightness in his chest again. Just last night, when Li Chengyu told his little princess one second that he wanted to take her to play, she gave herself a while the next second.
Five thunders!
"Now the country is peaceful and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. In fact, it doesn't matter if I am there or not. If it is really useful in the future, I will come back. Anyway, the Mu family will pave the way for me."
Mu Sirong nodded: "Well, that's true, but have you ever thought about it, in fact, he is still afraid of you."
Li Chengyu smiled: "Then I'm not easy to control. Don't forget, I also have a trump card."
"You'd better get rid of the bugs in your trump card first."
Li Chengyu looked at him, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "You are here specifically to trouble me, right?"
Mu Sirong corrected him seriously: "You came here specifically to ask me to trouble you."
Li Chengyu didn't want to talk to him for a moment. He was such a villain! He just added salt to the wound by adding insult to injury!
Mu Sirong sneered at the accusation: "We are each other."
How many times had he encountered something bad in his relationship, life, or career? His first reaction was to burst into laughter, and then he would ridicule him, with a look of gloating that the misfortune had nothing to do with it.
The way he looked at himself made General Mu have the urge to sew his mouth shut every time at that moment, leaving him speechless for the rest of his life.
Mu Sirong really likes this Princess Royal more and more, and everyone also likes this Princess Royal more and more!
Li Chengyu: "But speaking of which, why has this Lu Qing been so silent recently?"
Logically speaking, it's a little surprising that things have been so quiet during this period. They don't jump out and cause trouble in the court, and they don't stir up trouble behind their backs.
Mu Sirong: "Oh, it is said that Lu Min, the eldest son of the Hou family in Bei'an, is ill and has caught wind and cold. It is quite serious. Lu Qing is waiting on him without taking off his clothes."
Li Chengyu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that Lu Qing was so interested in his elder brother.
Mu Sirong coughed twice and said casually: "Lu Qing and Lu Min are really close brothers, but this should also be his weakness."
"I have met Lu Min. He is a scholar. He has excellent character. When absolutely necessary, he will not use these tactics."
Although Li Chengyu didn't have much favorable impressions of Lu Min regarding some of the previous events, his evaluation was quite pertinent.
Mu Sirong knew this about Li Chengyu. He had always been ruthless towards those of his own sect, but he would always show mercy to those who should not have gotten involved.
Although Mu Sirong didn't say it with his mouth, he still appreciated this in his heart. If he was really an unscrupulous person, Mu Sirong would not have stood by his side for so long.
For people like them, people can be cruel, but there is no limit.
