"Such an important matter …"
Li Xuan's face was gloomy as he paced back and forth in the pavilion. Occasionally, he pointed at the two of them. "You, you …"
Li Yi and MIngzhu were both silent. Influenced by their traditional education and beliefs, this was the first time they had heard of this matter. It was indeed difficult for them to accept.
"How dare you not tell me!"
Li Xuan slammed his palm on the stone table and asked angrily, "Such an important matter, how dare you hide it from me … Are you not treating me as one of your own?"
The anger on his face only lasted for a moment before disappearing in the next moment.
He clapped his hands and said with a face full of surprise, "Why didn't I think of this idea before …"
To him, it would be best if he could maintain the current status quo. However, no matter who inherited the throne, with his identity and position, he would not have a good life in the capital.
However, who was MIngzhu? She had grown up with him and the three heroes of the capital had gone through thick and thin together. It was as if they were wearing the same pants … Although it was the two of them who were wearing the same pants now, based on the current situation, if MIngzhu could really sit on the throne, it would definitely be the best outcome.
However, although she was also the child of the emperor, she was a woman. Would it be difficult for a woman to become the emperor?
Thinking about it carefully, the dragon robe did not look good on her either …
"This matter is not certain yet. Let's not talk about it for now." Li Yi pressed on his shoulder to calm him down. He said, "You cannot tell anyone about what happened today, including His Majesty, your father, mother, the Crown Princess, and your brother Shen …"
"Don't worry, I know the severity of this matter. Other than the three of us, I will not let a fourth person know." Li Xuan nodded solemnly, then said, "Based on what you said, the biggest obstacle in front of us now is the Cui family. The Cui family has done such a rebellious thing, and they are still jumping around in the court all day long. It is really annoying to see. Should we go all out …"
He turned his head to look. "I think this lake in the academy is not bad …"
…
Although he didn't know from whom did Li Xuan learn this unreliable idea of sinking into the lake, he was right about one thing. As long as the Cui family didn't fall, they wouldn't have peaceful days. This time, it was fine if they didn't make a move, but if they made a move, the Cui family wouldn't be able to make a comeback, once and for all.
As for the secret between the two of them being known by him, it did not affect them much. Li Xuan, who was born with a short brain, was muddle-headed on many things, but he had never messed up on a major matter.
At least he knew that in the future, he wouldn't be like before, always causing trouble at the drop of a hat. He came out to wander around after learning half of lip-reading and ended up making such a big mistake.
However, this incident also reminded him that there were even perverts in this world who specialized in lip reading and hid in the dark with binoculars to peep at him. In the future, no matter what he did, it was better to be extra careful.
After stepping into the house, all the messy thoughts in his mind disappeared. Wife, children, sister-in-law, and the little servant girl who was about to grow up and was gradually getting rid of the silly adorable … This was another small world, blocking all the things that were incompatible with the word "home" outside.
Miss.Liu was holding a piece of paper in her hand and saying something to Ruyi. It was probably because she encountered some words that she didn't know. Ruyi was the kind of person who could calm down no matter what she did. When the two sisters were young, they also did literacy and other things, but it was probably useless for Miss.Liu.
Li Yi picked up a few pieces of paper that were messily placed on the table and looked at them. Most of them were about the Liu League.
The Liu League had already formed a stable system. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an organization. The elite disciples were all skilled in martial arts. They were famous martial arts masters on the Master Ranking List and the Chivalry Ranking List. As for other places, it was more of a relationship similar to a contract. There were many masters in the league and they had strong financial support. They took what they needed from the people in the martial arts world and cooperated with tacit understanding. It could be said that they had completely changed the current situation of the martial arts world.
As the leader of the Liu League, Miss.Liu's growth was amazing. Of course, this did not refer to a specific part of her body. Other than physical growth, there was also psychological growth.
Thinking back to three years ago, the girl in white who was riding on a horse and holding a sword, and now the girl who frowned and bit her thumb, staring at the piece of paper in front of her seriously, were like two different people.
There was another stack of papers on the table. Li Yi also flipped through them. They were all information about the Wu Kingdom. As the only country in the vicinity that had fallen into internal strife, although the imperial court of the Wu Kingdom was strong, there were too many rebels and traitors in the country. It could not be suppressed in a short time. The surrounding countries might have some other ideas besides watching them make a fool of themselves.
Seeing him walk in, Ru Yi seemed to have seen her savior. She hurriedly said, "Aiya, my husband is back. Quickly help Ruyi take a look at what's written on this. I've been having a headache these past few days …"
The reason why Ruyi had a headache was that Miss.Liu would ask her whenever she encountered something that she did not understand. In fact, Ruyi only recognized a few more words than her. When it came to the meaning of poems and articles, she would also have a headache.
As for why Miss.Liu did not ask him directly, Li Yi also felt strange.
After Ruyi spoke, Miss.Liu reluctantly handed the paper to him.
Li Yi glanced at it and knew the reason why Miss.Liu had a headache.
This was something similar to the imperial court's spy report. The words and sentences were not like ordinary letters. It was very official and difficult to understand. It was normal for people like Miss.Liu, who were still in the stage of literacy, to not understand it.
Li Yi looked at it and said, "It says that Princess Duanrong of the Wu Kingdom joined forces with a traitor and conquered two provinces of the Wu Kingdom in a row. She was captured alive by the imperial court and will be executed in a few days …"
"What!" Miss.Liu's expression changed dramatically.
"Of course it's a lie …" Li Yi put the paper aside and said, "It's true that they conquered two provinces. They have a lot of soldiers under their command. They used to be in the military camp and have good strength. Now they are in a stalemate with the imperial court of the Wu Kingdom. Nothing will happen in a short time."
Miss.Liu took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell a few times. She looked at him and said, "Come here, I'll show you something good."
Did she think he was stupid? If he went with her now, nothing good would come out of it. Li Yi took Li Duan from Ruyi's arms. After such a long time of guidance, the eight-month-old little guy could make clearer "father" and "mother". Of course, he still called "Xiao Niang" more often.
Ruyi sat down beside him and said softly, "I went to see Sister Zuimo today."
Li Yi turned to look at her. "You …"
"I've already talked to Sister Zuimo. She said that after a few days, she will move in with us."
Li Yi looked at her in surprise. "She agreed?"
Ruyi looked at him in confusion and asked, "Why not?"
Li Yi suddenly doubted the meaning of life. He nagged her about this matter every day. All his efforts were not as good as a word from Ruyi?
This was a bit too hurtful …
When he walked out of the door gloomily, he met a little maid who came in. She looked up at him and said, "Young master, Second Miss asked you to go to her room. She has a question to ask you."
What question could he not ask just now? Why did he have to go to her room? Walking to Miss.Liu's room on the other side, the door was open. Li Yi knocked on the door and stepped in.
Miss.Liu sat at the table, looked up, and said, "Close the door."
Li Yi closed the door, then turned his head and asked in confusion, "What's the problem? Why close the door?"
