Chapter 293 Princess Qingyang

Concubine Rong pursed her lips and smiled in a way that captivated everyone.

It cannot be denied that she is indeed good-looking and extremely beautiful.

She not only possesses stunning beauty, but also a smart mind, so at this moment, Li Mumu still dared not let her guard down.

Concubine Rong is not the kind of person who would get carried away by just a few compliments.

The real fight hasn't started yet.

Looking at the palace maids holding trays with many treasures on them, Li Mumu did not hide her love at all.

The more she acted like this, the more Concubine Rong would relax her vigilance against her.

"Do you like it?"

Li Mumu nodded vigorously, "I like it. Are these... all for me?"

Concubine Rong smiled and nodded, "Yes, you saved the Eighth Prince. I originally thought that you two were destined to be together, so I asked the Emperor to marry you to him. I didn't expect that you were already engaged. I really like you and want you to be my daughter-in-law, the future consort of the Eighth Prince."

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Rong Jinxuan's face.

"I don't know which guy is so lucky to marry you."

Li Mumu smiled and said, "Grandpa said that it would be unlucky to marry me because I would bring bad luck to others."

Rong Jinxuan didn't believe this. "That's ridiculous. Everyone has their own destiny. How could it be you who is responsible for this? How can General Gu still believe this?"

"Don't be rude." Concubine Rong scolded Rong Jinxuan, "How could General Gu harm his own granddaughter? He must have his reasons for doing so."

Rong Jinxuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Rong Fei's look.

"But no matter what, you saved my son, so I'll give these to you as a thank you gift."

Li Mumu looked like she wanted to do it but was restraining herself.

Rong Fei's eyes turned cold, but she wore a smile on the surface. "What's wrong? Didn't you just say you liked me?"

Li Mumu nodded and said awkwardly, "But...but the Eighth Prince has already given me a thank-you gift. It's not right to accept it again, right?"

After hearing this, Concubine Rong smiled lightly. She thought she didn't want to have anything to do with her.

It turns out she is still an innocent and simple girl.

"What's the big deal? His thanks are his, but this is a gift from me as your mother. No one will say anything to you." Rong Fei coaxed her softly.

Li Mumu grinned, "Then I won't be polite."

"You're welcome. I'll have someone send it back to you later."

"Okay, okay, hehe." Li Mumu smiled happily.

"Mumu, you are such a good child. I heard that you were almost killed by your father on the road?" Rong Fei suddenly asked.

Li Mumu knew that this was her real purpose, which was to find out the whereabouts of Li Yuan.

Looking at it this way, it seems that this move of mine was indeed the right one.

"Yeah, Daddy beat Mumu and took away Mumu's food, and he didn't want me." Li Mumu pouted, looking so sad that she was about to cry.

"This Li Yuan is unworthy of being a father. He has caused so much harm to others. He has not only harmed the Gu family, but also you," Rong Fei sighed and said earnestly, "Fortunately, the emperor has learned the truth and ordered his beheading."

"But daddy ran away?" Li Mumu said.

Rong Fei's eyes lit up, "You know about this?"

"I know. Ningxi Village is not far from Qingshui Village. I heard about it when I went to pick up my grandmother. Has he not been caught yet?"

Rong Fei shook her head, "I don't know where he went or where he is hiding."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Mumu.

Li Mumu blinked her innocent big eyes, staring at the exquisite snacks on the table, with a drooling look.

Rong Fei cleared her throat, trying not to be impatient, and said softly, "Are you hungry? If you like it, eat more."

Li Mumu nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Madam. You are such a kind person."

Concubine Rong didn't want to be a good person. She just wanted to know where Li Yuan was, and more importantly, she wanted to know whether Concubine Rong had revealed their relationship.

Li Mumu asked while eating, "Mother, please catch Daddy quickly. If he runs to the capital, Mumu will be scared. Will he beat me again?"

Rong Jinxuan and Rong Fei exchanged glances, and it seemed that they believed that Li Mumu didn't know.

"No, General Gu is a brave and skilled warrior. How could he let you be bullied?"

Li Mumu nodded, as if she had thought of something, and said, "That's right, the uncles will beat Dad to avenge Mumu. He is afraid of the uncles. He came home before and was beaten away by the uncles."

She said this to let Concubine Rong know that Li Yuan was not with them. The Gu family was too busy beating him up to death, so how could they help him escape capture?

Rong Jinxuan also knew this. When he was in the north, he also learned about the affairs of the two families.

Rong Fei didn't get what she wanted to know, so she lost interest. She made up an excuse and let Rong Jinxuan take Li Mumu out to play.

The weather was only slightly cool, so it wasn't too cold to walk around the palace for a while.

Rong Jinxuan is not like Rong Fei, who hides temptations in every word he says.

He plays with Li Mumu like an older brother, but what Li Mumu lacks the least is a brother.

"Let me take you over there to have a look. There are a lot of beautiful fish there." Rong Jinxuan said.

Li Mumu nodded, thinking that Rong Jinxuan would not throw her into the lake in broad daylight. Even if he did, she would not be afraid because she could swim.

But unexpectedly, she met someone on the road.

Looking at the graceful girl in front of him, who was bowing to Rong Jinxuan reluctantly, Li Mumu was wondering which princess she was.

Then a maid came trotting over, "Princess, Princess, your cloak!"

Unexpectedly, the girl took off her cloak and said, "I told you not to call me that. I'm not a princess. I don't even know who I am. The real owner is right here."

Li Mumu's eyes lit up. It turned out to be Princess Qingyang.

In the film, her ending was quite miserable.

In the first ten years, she was doted on and had a spoiled personality, and her "mother" also tried her best to protect her and always told her that she would not let her marry far away.

However, when the truth came out, this fake princess lost everything she had.

However, the emperor and Concubine Rong did not drive her out of the palace. Just when Princess Qingyang thought that Concubine Rong still had some feelings for her, Concubine Rong decided to marry her to a foreign tribe to gain support for her son.

She was raised in luxury for a long time, but the people in that barbaric land were rude and crude. She died within two years of her marriage. People said she died of illness, but everyone knew she was tortured to death.

However, Concubine Rong had no intention of seeking justice for her.

Rong Jinxuan would not turn against those who supported him for her. After all, Princess Qingyang had robbed him of ten years of happiness.

But how innocent is Princess Qingyang?

She never thought of stealing anyone's identity. She was raised as a princess since she was born, but the love she received for ten years was all fake.

It was Concubine Rong who told her that it was okay to be a little spoiled as she would protect her.

But in the end, she developed that kind of personality, and Concubine Rong withdrew all her favors for her in an instant.
