Li Yi was a little worried.
No, he was very worried.
Miss.Liu's memory was getting worse and worse. She used to like Autumn Water so much. Her sword never left her body. She liked Autumn Water even more than she liked him …
But now, she actually forgot Autumn Water again and again. This was not normal, too abnormal.
If it was a bad memory … But how old was she? She was in the prime of her life. Li Yi could be sure that before he became senile and forgot things, Miss.Liu would never reach this step first. Maybe in the future, she and Ruyi would take turns pushing the wheelchair under the sunset, and he would be the one sitting in the wheelchair — what a beautiful and harmonious scene.
The scene in front of him was not very harmonious.
Miss.Liu came back to get Autumn Water. He held the Princess Royal's hand with a face full of affection.
In fact, this time it was really out of instinct, without any impurities. MIngzhu was such an upright person that she could not tolerate any dirt in her eyes. It was not easy for her to sacrifice herself for the country and make such concessions for his feelings.
Words could not express the gratitude in his heart, so he added a little body movement. Coincidentally, it was seen by Miss.Liu.
She usually guarded against MIngzhu like a wolf. If he could not explain it clearly this time, he would not be able to cross this hurdle in his life.
So Li Yi reached out and held Miss.Liu's hand and said calmly, "There is something, MIngzhu helped us a lot. I just want to thank her, that's all. Between us … there is nothing."
He looked at the two slender white hands on his left and right and said, "It's just holding hands to thank her …"
Li Yi felt that he was very smart. It was not easy to explain to Miss.Liu while holding the Princess Royal's hand. But holding two people's hands at the same time, she would not think that he had the same feelings for her as MIngzhu, right?
"Simple?" Miss.Liu curled her lips.
"Nothing." The Princess Royal shook her head.
…
Hearing a scream from inside the house, Xiao Huan hurriedly ran in, grabbed Li Yi's hand and hurriedly said, "Son-in-law, what happened …"
"Don't … don't move …"
Li Yi watched as Miss.Liu and the Princess Royal left. His expression twitched slightly. He shook his hands hard, and the pain in his hands lessened a little.
Two violent women. It was just a handshake. Was there a need to use so much strength? Both of his hands were numb after the pain. Li Yi suspected that the bones in his hands were crushed. If he did not take revenge, he would not be a gentleman. A gentleman's revenge was never too late. Ten years later, he would make them beg for mercy!
Seeing Li Yi's pained expression, Xiao Huan asked worriedly, "Young master, young master, what's wrong …"
Fang leaned against the door and looked outside. He retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just that extreme joy turns to sorrow …"
The injury this time was considered a work injury. As the Minister of State, he had a disagreement with the Princess Royal during a discussion of state affairs and was injured by her.
Therefore, he could have a long time to recuperate.
The case that the old Emperor ordered him to investigate had expired, but he did not find anything. Fortunately, the criminals found their conscience and turned themselves in, so he did not have to worry about it anymore.
The Cui family had fallen. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. In their hearts, they were still hoping for the return of the King of Shu to make a comeback.
The Qin family had also fallen. Ever since the Qin brothers were imprisoned, Prime Minister Qin fell ill and did not attend court for a long time.
The Chen family was different from the past. Compared to other criminals, their crimes were minor, but they could not be easily pardoned. Considering that High Duke Chen had contributed to the country in his early years, and that he was now old and sick, and that the Chen family had turned themselves in, the punishment was reduced …
All the official titles of the Chen family were removed, and they were reduced to commoners. The House of Duke was confiscated, and all their assets were confiscated …
This punishment seemed severe, but to the Chen family, it was already a mercy beyond the law.
This was all Li Yi could do. It was impossible for the Chen family to return to its former glory, but if they could avoid those power struggles in the future and live a stable life, it might not be a bad thing.
All their assets were confiscated. From a wealthy family, they suddenly became poor. This huge difference was not something that ordinary people could bear.
Li Yi wanted to help them, but Chen Chong rejected him. He still hated the Li family, and he was even more unwilling to be pitied by the Li family. This was something that Li Yi could understand.
Therefore, he only asked people to pay more attention in the dark. When a family was at its peak, there were many people who would add flowers to the brocade, and when it was down, there were many people who would hit it when it was down.
He still saw Third Miss Chen often. Sometimes, he would go to the Chen family to see her, either alone or with Ruyi. Sometimes, he would go to Zui Mo's place … The great change in the Chen family not only did not break her down, but Li Yi felt that she looked much better, which was something to be happy about.
Fang squatted in front of him. He seemed to be thinking of something, and he kept giggling.
After Xiao Hong entered the family, Fang's sister-in-law was even more strict with him than before, except for Xiao Hong, who was like a sister to Wanru. Fang was actually enjoying himself, which made Li Yi wonder if he had serious masochistic tendencies.
A good man had become a masochist for no reason …
After being by his side for so long, if this guy could learn a little of his good qualities, he would not have ended up like this …
Fang suddenly seemed to think of something. He stopped giggling, looked up at him, and said, "Young Master, that guy Wu Er, it seems like he is not coming back."
"Let him be." Li Yi waved his hand, not caring at all.
To leave or to stay, that was Wu Er's choice, and only he could feel it. He would not interfere too much.
Under the persuasion of Xiao Huan and the others, Liu Mei stayed and was like a sister to Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong called her Sister Mei, and Liu Mei called Fang Uncle Fang. He did not know if Fang, in front of his niece and sister, felt that he was a beast for a moment or a few moments …
Although the storm in the capital was big, no matter how big the storm, there would be a day when it would calm down.
Confiscation of property, removal of officials, exile … For the whole of June and July, this was the mainstream in the capital.
Until August, the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival seemed to have calmed down all the waves. The people were extremely satisfied with the recent actions of the imperial court, and began to put more attention on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, the people did not wait for the 15th of August, but Prince Ning first.
Prince Ning, who had left the capital a few months ago, returned again. This time, he did not come back alone.
After Prince Ning's carriage, a row of dozens of prison carriages drove into the capital.
The people of the capital stood on both sides of the road, looking at the several li long procession passing through the street, all showing shock in their eyes.
The Li family.
Ruyi and the Crown Princess made an appointment to go to the Cold Mountain Temple to pray for the safety of the little fellow and the girl from Li Xuan's family. After Li Duan woke up, he cried non-stop. Li Yi, with a headache, stuffed him into Ruyi's arms.
The crying stopped abruptly, and Xiao Huan looked on enviously. Second Miss was indeed suitable to look after children …
Her Royal Highness came in from outside. Ruyi glanced at Xiao Huan, stood up, and walked outside.
Miss.Liu was becoming more and more considerate. Li Yi felt gratified. As if thinking of something, he suddenly said, "Ruyi, wait a moment."
Miss.Liu turned her head to look at him.
Li Yi picked up the sword she had placed by the bed, walked over, and handed it to her, saying, "You forgot your sword."
