If she liked him, then she liked him. If she liked him, then she should say it out loud. He would decide whether or not to accept her based on her performance in the future …
She grabbed his collar just because she liked him. He almost suffocated to death. What kind of like was that?
His collar was grabbed by her. When Li Yi walked back, he tidied his collar and ordered the gatekeeper, "Send an invitation to all the manors who sent the invitation. Tell them that I'm sick and can't go …"
If you don't want to go, then don't go. Telling others that you're not going was basic etiquette.
He straightened his collar and tidied his clothes before walking into the courtyard.
Otherwise, Miss.Liu might think that he did something else when he sent MIngzhu back.
He didn't mind, but what about Her Royal Highness's reputation?
To Li Yi's surprise, Miss.Liu wasn't in the courtyard.
Wasn't she curious about MIngzhu's decision just now?
It wasn't Miss.Liu's style to not ask if she didn't know, especially when it came to matters related to MIngzhu.
So he planned to tell her personally.
When she asked, he didn't say anything. When she didn't ask, he took the initiative to run over. Li Yi thought for a while and felt that his behavior was a little … cheap?
So be it. He was used to being cheap anyway.
She didn't ask. If he still didn't explain, with her narrow-mindedness, he didn't know what she would think in her heart.
Ruyi and he were telepathic. She had already guessed it. They didn't need to make it clear, and they didn't need to.
Miss.Liu was different. If he let her guess blindly, she could probably make up a wonderful new year drama.
He walked to the door of Miss.Liu's room, knocked on the door, and walked in.
Many experiences and lessons showed that it was best not to enter a girl's room without knocking.
It was not a good habit to not knock on the door. The frequency of accidentally seeing a girl bathing and changing her clothes was far too high. Even Li Yi suspected that he had some sort of lucky halo on him.
It's not good to see indecent things. It's even worse if you don't take responsibility for what you see. Drunk Mo has already taken responsibility, and Ruoqing hasn't. Miss.Liu — we're a family, so don't be so distant.
Miss.Liu was reading in the room. Li Yi walked over and sat down opposite her. He poured himself a cup of tea and asked tentatively, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
"No," Miss.Liu replied without raising her head.
"…"
Li Yi asked again, "Aren't you curious about MIngzhu's decision?"
Miss.Liu replied calmly without raising her head, "I'm not curious."
"…"
Li Yi stood up, took the book away from her hand, and raised her head to make her look forward. Finally, he sat down opposite her and said, "You're not curious, but I want to say …"
Miss.Liu finally stopped being arrogant and looked at him calmly.
Li Yi sighed first, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face. He said, "His Majesty, I'm afraid he doesn't have many days left."
"You know, there's no hope for the King of Shu now. There's an undercurrent in the capital now. All the princes are returning to the capital with the excuse of visiting His Majesty, but they're secretly trying to fight for the throne …"
Miss.Liu looked at him and asked, "Does this have anything to do with us?"
"Why not?" Li Yi looked at her, knocked on the table and said, "You're the leader of the Liu League. You have so many martial arts masters, officials and nobles under your command. You can tie them up and beat them whenever you want. If you're angry, the entire capital will shake three times. Don't doubt that you have such power now."
Miss.Liu continued to listen to him.
"Only His Majesty can allow such a force to exist near the capital because he knows that we won't use this force to do anything to harm the court. But now that the new Emperor has changed, will he still trust us like the current His Majesty does?"
"Moreover, you also know that in the current court, our family has already achieved … achieved a little bit of success. When the time comes, it will definitely attract the new Emperor's suspicion. Maybe it will be used to establish power …"
Li Yi felt that he needed to explain the stakes in this matter to Miss.Liu. She had already grown up, and she needed to learn about other things.
Miss.Liu nodded, then looked at him and asked, "What did she feed you just now? I even heard her say that she likes you."
"…"
"There are some things you can't just listen to …" Li Yi said with a headache, "Do you understand what I just said? Do you understand the current situation of our family?"
"Let's go tie up those princes." Miss.Liu's method was always so simple and direct.
"Violence is a way to solve problems, but it's not the only way." Li Yi looked at her and said solemnly, "You have to remember, you are a scholar now. A scholar can't always fight and kill …"
Miss.Liu nodded and said, "So, what did she feed you just now?"
"She didn't feed me anything …" Li Yi rubbed between his brows, stood up, and pressed down on her shoulder. He said, "We now have two paths. The first is to have someone who won't suspect us and won't doubt us become the Emperor, and we will continue to stay in the capital. The second is to pack up now. We won't stay in the capital anymore. We'll abandon all the brothels, all the shops, all the properties. We'll take Ruyi, Xiao Huan, and MIngzhu and find a place to occupy the mountain and become king …"
"I choose the second path." Miss.Liu said without hesitation, looking a little eager to try. Then she seemed to realize something and asked, "Why do we have to take MIngzhu with us?"
Why did they have to take the Eldest Princess? Naturally, it was because she was in the same situation as him, or even more dangerous than him. Once the new Emperor ascended the throne, could he watch the existence of a princess who was more influential than him in the court, among the people, and in the hearts of all the scholars?
If he used his brain a little, he would know what MIngzhu's fate would be after the change of the dynasty.
Li Yi sat down, sighed, and said, "If we don't take her with us, you will never see her in the future. When the new Emperor ascends the throne, he won't be able to tolerate us, let alone her. At that time, he might kill her, and he might let her marry anyone …"
"Really?" Miss.Liu raised her head and asked happily.
Li Yi really had a headache. Why was it so difficult to communicate with Miss.Liu …
Miss.Liu suddenly said, "There's something wrong with the way she looks at you."
Li Yi frowned and asked, "What's wrong? How can you tell?"
"Intuition."
Miss.Liu frowned. Today, the way MIngzhu looked at him was not the same as before. There was something else hidden, something that made her vigilant.
It was a look that only his sister had when she looked at him.
"What's different …" Li Yi shook his head and said, "The way she looks at me is exactly the same as the way you look at me. There's nothing wrong."
Miss.Liu raised her head and looked at him, and her body trembled slightly.
Li Yi then looked at her and said slowly, "If MIngzhu can become the future Emperor, we don't have to worry about anything."
"A woman becoming the Emperor?" Miss.Liu came back to her senses and reached out to touch his forehead. She shook her head and said, "You don't have a fever … You must be crazy."
"If a woman can be the leader of Wulin, why can't she be the Emperor?" Li Yi looked at her and said, "You are also a woman, you can't look down on women …"
