Li Yu lowered his head to hide the smile that flashed across his face. He didn't want to explain too much. He knew very well that Ruan Mianmian didn't do it accidentally.
On the contrary, every word Xiao Naituanzi says and everything he does has a profound meaning.
"My grandson will definitely keep this in mind."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but get angry when she thought of Li Ling: "Outsiders are so kind to you, but your mother and your compatriot's sister..."
"Royal Grandmother, I naturally care about people who care about me, and vice versa." Li Yu's face turned cold.
This was the first time that Li Yu showed his true side unabashedly in front of the Queen Mother.
Facing Li Yu like this, the Queen Mother's expression kept changing. First she was surprised, then puzzled, and finally turned into distressed.
After all, Li Yu was just a child, and it seemed that the queen and her daughter had completely broken his heart this time.
"Don't worry, Yu'er. After all, Li Ling is a princess, and her affairs are royal family affairs. Since the Ai family knows the truth, they should intervene. Since they want to intervene, they must make a complete settlement."
The Queen Mother made a promise to Li Yu, indicating that she would completely cure Li Ling and avoid future troubles.
"Has the Imperial Grandmother ever thought about why she would target me like this? If this matter is confirmed, what good will it do to her?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned. She thought about it carefully and was extremely frightened. When she looked up again, she looked shocked. She simply couldn't believe what she was thinking.
Li Yu said lightly: "Perhaps her father and mother doted on her so much that she didn't know how high the world was."
Everything that needs to be said has been said. As for what the Queen Mother will do after hearing this, that is not something he can interfere with.
The difficult matter was passed to the imperial grandmother in an instant, and Li Yu felt relieved. He couldn't help but look in the direction of Ruan Mianmian, and she helped him again.
"Little brother, little brother." Ruan Mianmian jumped over and said, "Mother Fang is not stupid."
The Queen Mother raised her head and glanced at Aunt Fang, and saw that she was still not aware that she was making gestures on the palace maid.
"Speaking of which, Mianmian's teachings are still good." The Queen Mother looked at the little breasted dumpling approaching.
Ruan Mianmian, who held her head high and her chest held high, said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, this compression technique can be of some use at critical times, but it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. It's just an emergency. You still have to listen to the doctor and take good care of yourself."
The Empress Dowager touched the little breast dumpling's head and said kindly: "You are the only one who is still thinking about the Ai family's body."
"The Queen Mother." Ruan Mianmian waved.
Without having time to think too much, the Queen Mother curiously leaned towards Ruan Mianmian.
The small-breasted dumpling wrapped one hand around the Queen Mother's neck, but the little baby's behavior was heart-warming and made her feel particularly close.
With a smile on her face, the Empress Dowager listened to Xiaonuituanzi whispering in her ear: "I came here secretly, and I didn't inform my grandfather about entering the palace. It's time for me to go back, and I'll come back to pay you respects another day."
"Are you leaving?" The Queen Mother was really reluctant to leave. "Isn't it going to be a few months and a half before she visits the Ai family in the palace?"
"No." Ruan Mianmian smiled sweetly and whispered, "The snacks I made are delicious. I will bring them to you next time you enter the palace. If you don't believe it, let's hook up."
"Pull the hook?" The Queen Mother lowered her head and saw the little breast dumpling holding out her little finger, and she also held out her little finger.
The little finger hooked the little finger of the big hand, and Ruan Mianmian swayed a few times and muttered: "Hang yourself on a hook and you won't be allowed to change for a hundred years. Okay -!"
"Is this good?" the Queen Mother asked with interest.
The little girl nodded her head: "Yes, the promise will remain unchanged for a hundred years."
Li Yu and Nanny Fang looked at each other and smiled. They didn't hear clearly what Ruan Mianmian and the Queen Mother said just now, but they could tell that the old and the young were in a happy mood.
"Yu'er, please take Mianmian out of the palace."
After leaving Yishou Palace and walking for a short distance, Li Yu suddenly stopped and bowed to Ruan Mianmian.
"Little brother, what are you doing?" Ruan Mianmian stopped him.
"You know."
Ruan Mianmian sighed softly: "Okay, I know."
At this moment, Jiu'er, who was following them, smiled and said, "Your Highness, Princess, our old Marquis is here."
Looking over, he saw Ruan Geng walking towards them. Li Yu took Ruan Mianmian's hand and walked forward to greet them.
"I have seen you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Marquis Ding'an doesn't need to be polite."
"Mianmian has met her grandfather."
"Humph." Ruan Geng snorted coldly.
The little girl stepped forward and grabbed her grandfather's hand, raised her smile with a flattering smile, and said in a long voice: "Grandpa——."
"Don't think I won't be angry if you act coquettishly. When did Marquis Ding'an's carriage become yours?"
Ruan Mianmian was not summoned to enter and exit the palace freely precisely because she was riding in the carriage of Marquis Ding'an.
Logically speaking, no one other than the old Marquis in the carriage of Ding An could enter the palace, but everyone knew that Princess Linglong was his precious granddaughter, and she was deeply loved by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, so they just turned a blind eye.
Eye-catching.
"I was wrong, grandpa, I will punish you." Ruan Mianmian lowered his head.
There was no strong argument, no arrogance because His Highness the Crown Prince was in front of her, no argument, this was his precious granddaughter. When Ruan Geng saw this, most of the anger in his heart disappeared.
"Okay, be a good boy. It's getting late. You'd better take the carriage and go back home first."
It was a family matter for a grandfather to discipline his granddaughter. Li Yu had just refrained from interrupting, but he was relieved when he saw that the old Marquis's expression had softened.
"Father, have you summoned the old Marquis to see you?"
"Yes." Ruan Geng glanced at Li Yu and Ruan Mianmian, "Isn't it related to you two?"
Ruan Mianmian waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with the two of us. If the emperor talks about it, my grandfather can say whatever he wants."
Ruan Geng's heart skipped a beat. He just said what he wanted. Xiaonuituanzi was reminding him to be more frank and not to be secretive. What happened in the palace?
He wanted to ask clearly, but His Royal Highness was right in front of him at the moment. Besides, the time was limited, so Ruan Geng couldn't ask more questions and just nodded slightly.
Li Yu lowered his voice after sending Ruan Mianmian to the palace gate: "Don't worry, I will be fine."
"Little brother." Ruan Mianmian also lowered her voice, "After this time, the eldest princess should not be able to stand up again, and you can feel at ease a little bit."
This is indeed the case. Li Yu nodded and heard Xiao Naituanzi continue: "I think the Queen didn't know about this in advance. You can check it secretly."
"Why do we need to investigate? It doesn't make any difference whether she knew beforehand or afterward." Li Yu was very puzzled.
Ruan Mianmian sighed secretly in her heart and said it clearly: "If she knew it in advance, then you would have nothing to worry about from now on."
A cold light flashed in Li Yu's eyes and he immediately understood the meaning of Ruan Mianmian's words. If the queen knew in advance that Li Ling was going to attack him but stayed on the sidelines, the love between mother and son would have ended here, and he owed her the gift of childbirth.
