"What's the reason between Old Lady Sun and the Empress?" Jingwan asked.
Although he didn't understand, Li Hongyuan still understood what she was referring to. "Their views don't match. As far as I know, when the former Duke Ding wanted to marry the Empress into the Imperial Family, Old Madam Sun strongly opposed it. The relationship between the husband and wife was already bad, and even worse. In the end, it was Old Madam Sun who made a concession. She didn't give in to the former Duke Ding, but because the Empress made her own choice. As a result, Old Madam Sun, who originally cared about her eldest daughter very much, suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person.
In fact, if Old Lady Sun supported the Empress from the beginning to the end, then Concubine Su and the others might not be the Empress's opponent at all. It's just that it's too early for Old Lady Sun to cultivate her moral character, abstain from meat, and pray to Buddha. Generally, women in the harem like her rarely make such a choice. After all, she has been suppressed by others for a lifetime, and it's not easy for her to turn things around. How could she not enjoy the treatment of having the final say and give up her power without hesitation? "
Therefore, Old Lady Sun did things that ordinary people wouldn't do, and she shouldn't be judged by common sense.
However, if this matter was really done by Old Lady Sun, then what was her purpose? She couldn't have killed the Empress, her biological daughter, just because the Empress was too ambitious and might bring disaster to Duke Ding's Mansion and even the Sun family. To be honest, according to Old Lady Sun's attitude, it really couldn't be seen that she cared much about Duke Ding's Mansion. If Duke Ding's Mansion was destroyed, she wouldn't even blink her eyes. This was more credible. After all, according to her relationship with Le Chengdi, she probably wouldn't worry about the destruction of the Sun family.
Li Hongyuan gently stroked Jingwan's hair. "Don't think too much about it. Everything has a cause and effect. We'll know when we find out the truth. It's useless to think too much now. You'll only be hurting yourself for nothing."
Jingwan smiled, "That's true. People like Old Madam Sun and the Empress are all capable people. Small shrimps like us might not be able to play with them. It's better to stay away from them, lest we get implicated. When that time comes, we might not even know what's going on."
"If you are a small shrimp, then what am I?" Once someone used the term "This King" in front of his beloved wife, it meant that some of his emotions had changed.
"You are the King of Hell. What else can you be?" Jingwan replied with a smile. "There's a saying that it's best to enjoy the shade under a big tree. You're that towering tree, and I just need to be the one enjoying the shade. So, Your Highness, work hard."
"Well, you just need to be a 'small shrimp' obediently. I'll take care of the rest." In Li Hongyuan's view, Jingwan was really not suitable to play tricks. At least not now. As she said, she had no chance of winning against those people. However, things were not settled yet. Li Hongyuan would not let Jingwan participate. This had nothing to do with her ability. He just didn't want her to be in danger.
The Empress wanted to scheme against Imperial Concubine Su, but she directed the spearhead to the Luo Family. Jingwan was naturally very angry. However, if her husband went too far at this time, some things would inevitably be exposed soon. Although Ah Yuan didn't say it clearly, Jingwan could see that things were almost done. He didn't care whether it would be known now or not. However, as long as he didn't take the initiative to expose himself, Jingwan's heart was "unwilling". Passive exposure would always bring trouble.
"There are some things that Ah Yuan doesn't need to be impatient. It doesn't matter if you take it slow."
Li Hongyuan naturally understood her meaning and smiled, "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The problem is that your husband, I, am not a gentleman. What's more, some people have touched the place that they shouldn't have touched the most. I understand what Wan Wan is thinking. Don't worry, it's not to that extent. Although I don't care now, it's not so easy to dig out my bottom line. "
"Okay, okay, I was worried for nothing." Jingwan closed her eyes and leaned on Li Hongyuan as if she had no bones, pretending to be dead.
Of course, An Yi had already tactfully retreated.
In the following three or four days, Jingwan's social activities inexplicably increased. She met with the Cang Jin's envoy again. They had a pleasant chat and the relationship between them went further. So much so that the Cang Jin's envoy joked with her and didn't dare to keep her for too long in case Jin Qinwang came to the door again. For Jingwan, this kind of joke naturally didn't have any lethality. She was especially thick-skinned and showed off her affection. Then, she also teasingly asked about the other's husband.
Before leaving, the Cang Jin's envoy expressed his wish to let Jingwan join the Cang Jin's entourage. — — Of course, both sides knew that this kind of thing could only be said as it was impossible. Qi Yuan was Qi Yuan. It was unknown how many years it would take before it could reach the level of the Cang Jin.
As for Old Madam Sun, perhaps she hadn't found any news yet and didn't hear anything from her husband or the shadow guards.
The next day, Jingwan packed up her things and followed Li Hongyuan to Bai Long Temple.
Li Hongyuan just went to Le Chengdi and said that there were too many unlucky things recently. He wanted to go to Bai Long Temple to burn incense and get rid of the bad luck. His face was almost written: Ben wang is very annoyed, Ben wang wants to go out and relax!
Le Chengdi's mouth faintly twitched. He, the father, didn't say that it was unlucky. He had the nerve to say this? His true feelings were so obvious. Did he think that he was blind? In the end, he waved his hand and asked him to get out. The order was to let his son burn incense and pray for him.
In Jingwan's view, this was definitely a typical "good father". Not only did he agree to his son's "unreasonable request", but he also helped him deal with the follow-up matters, so that others couldn't find an excuse to criticize him. Later, Jingwan heard from Li Hongyuan another reason why Le Chengdi asked him to go to Bai Long Temple. Le Chengdi lit a lamp for the Imperial Noble Consort in Bai Long Temple and asked his son, Li Hongyuan, to add some incense oil to her.
Jingwan still felt that it was ironic.
"Wan Wan, don't worry. She won't take it seriously." If it was in the past, Li Hongyuan wouldn't say such a thing. Now, he was quite sure that no matter what Le Chengdi did, whether it was affectionate or ruthless, she wouldn't be shaken at all. If they could "use" her to get benefits from Le Chengdi, she would be very happy.
"Whether she'll take it seriously or not, we don't know. Let's not talk about it anymore. Should we leave today or wait until tomorrow? "
"Let's do it today. It's so boring to stay in the capital and watch some people fight."
Jingwan nodded. She had people prepare and left the capital.
Li Hongyuan didn't know how to keep a low profile when he traveled.
Bai Long Temple wasn't far. Even if they traveled at a normal speed, it wouldn't take much time.
When they arrived at Bai Long Temple, the abbot personally led people to welcome them. When they settled down in Li Hongyuan's personal courtyard, they went to see Master Liaochen together. As the abbot, he wouldn't disturb Master Liaochen's cultivation unless it was absolutely necessary. Thus, he only led them to the outside of Master Liaochen's meditation room before taking his leave to do his own things.
Although Master Liaochen was an unworldly expert, he still had the proper etiquette. He greeted the two with a benevolent smile. Jingwan hurriedly returned the greeting. Li Hongyuan didn't half-heartedly return the greeting.
Master Liaochen's meditation room was very warm. It didn't have the hardships of an ascetic monk. Even so, it didn't mean that Master Liaochen wasn't devout. In Jingwan's opinion, he was old and had a Buddhist heart. There was no need for him to torment himself over such matters. No matter how eminent a monk he was, he was still a mortal.
After they sat down, Master Liaochen personally poured them a cup of tea. "This is wild tea from Bai Long Temple. The tea is snow water from a few years ago. I hope Prince and Princess will like it."
They could smell the fragrance before they even tasted the tea. It couldn't be bad. Moreover, even if it was snow water, in an era without chemical pollution, there was no need to worry that there would be anything dirty in it. Jingwan took a small sip. She couldn't help but praise the tea. "Good tea, good water, and the master's skills."
"As long as Princess likes it." Master Liaochen smiled. If it weren't for his clothes and bald head, no one would believe that he was an unworldly expert. He was too approachable.
Li Hongyuan didn't say anything, but he took two sips of tea. It was clear enough.
"The snow at Bai Long Temple is also very good. It's comparable to the peach blossoms in spring. Wan Wan, go take a look."
"We can't let down the beauty." Jingwan knew that Li Hongyuan was here for business. Without another word, she got up and bid farewell.
Li Hongyuan didn't waste time either. He took out the jade pendant. "Master, you must recognize it."
Master Liaochen nodded. "So that's how it is."
----- Digression —
The baby had bronchitis and was hospitalized for nearly a week. He was finally getting better. Originally, he was still in the hospital, but he didn't need an IV drip at night. Thus, the author took the baby home. Mm, he'll probably need an IV drip for a couple of days. Sorry, my dear friends, I stopped updating for so many days.
