Chapter 194 Do you want to be the queen?
Grandma grinned and laughed silently, "Li'er has really grown up. She even wants to lie to my face."
When my mother-in-law said this, her voice was flat and you couldn't hear any emotion in it.
But after hearing these words, Lin Ruoli instantly became nervous.
She quickly stood up from her chair.
"Mother-in-law, it's Li'er's fault. Li'er shouldn't lie."
"Li'er just felt a little sad. She never thought Yu Youning would become a princess..."
Hearing Lin Ruoli's initiative to admit her mistakes, her mother-in-law was finally satisfied. "If she knows how to admit her mistakes, then she is not hopeless. So what if she becomes a princess? If Nanzhao is gone, can she still be a princess?"
Lin Ruoli's eyes lit up instantly, full of hope. "Mother-in-law, are you saying we should deal with Nanzhao?"
Mother-in-law shook her head, "But not now."
The light in Lin Ruoli's eyes disappeared instantly.
Not now?
When was that?
Before her mother-in-law could say anything, Lin Yu frowned. "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by that? Even if you are dissatisfied with Yu Youning, the people of Nanzhao are innocent after all. How can you attack Nanzhao just because of Yu Youning?"
When Lin Ruoli heard Lin Yu's words, her heart instantly rose to her throat.
"Uncle! You can't talk to Grandma like that!"
It’s true that Lin Yu treats her well, but Lin Yu’s brain is really not enough!
Does he even know where he is standing?
This is Xiliang!
Standing in Xiliang, he wants to speak for Nanzhao. Does he think his life is too long?
"Pear?"
Lin Yu looked at Lin Ruoli with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
In the past, he thought he knew Lin Ruoli very well.
After all, this is his niece who grew up in front of his own eyes.
Although he was only Lin Ruoli's uncle, Lin Ruoli was born in the Lin Mansion, and he held her in his arms after she was born.
At that time, Lin Ruoli was just a small ball.
Later, he watched Lin Ruoli grow up little by little, listened to her voice change from slurred to clear, and listened to her calling him uncle over and over again.
He held Lin Ruoli in his hands, and even left his mother behind to send Lin Ruoli to Xiliang.
But now, looking at Lin Ruoli, he just felt extremely unfamiliar.
Is this really the Li'er he is familiar with?
Being looked at like this by Lin Yu, Lin Ruoli felt a little angry and uncomfortable.
"Uncle, let's not talk about this anymore..."
Lin Ruoli was about to change the subject when she was interrupted by Lin Yu.
Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Li'er, I followed you to Xiliang because I was worried about you, a little girl. Now that you are safe, I want to go back too."
"Go back?" Lin Ruoli was a little confused and a little flustered, her tone changed. "Uncle, where are you going back to?"
"Of course I'm going back to Dayong!" Lin Yu explained, "Your grandfather is still in prison, and the final outcome is uncertain. I can't just ignore it. Your grandmother is old, and she needs to be alone. I have to go back to be with her. And your mother...you live well here with your mother-in-law. Don't worry about the situation in Dayong, just leave it to me!"
Although Lin Yu felt that Lin Ruoli was a little strange, he had been good to her for so many years after all. Now that he was leaving, the first thing he thought of was to comfort Lin Ruoli's heart.
But Lin Ruoli put away the smile on her face, and her expression became extremely serious, "No! You can't leave!"
"What?" Lin Yu looked at Lin Ruoli in surprise, "Li'er, I have to go back. Your grandmother—"
"Grandma doesn't care about Li'er, so Li'er shouldn't care about her either!" Lin Ruoli's expression and eyes became paranoid. "Uncle, you said before that no matter what happens, you will stay with Li'er. Are you going back on your word now?"
"It's not that I regret it, but I have to go back." Lin Yu continued to explain, "Even if you have a rift with your grandmother because of what happened before, don't you worry about your mother? And your father—!"
"Stop talking!"
Lin Ruoli interrupted Lin Yu, her expression cold as ice.
"No matter what you say, I won't let you go."
After that, Lin Ruoli didn't give Lin Yu a chance to speak. She raised her voice and said to the outside, "Come in and take Master Lin back to his room and keep him safe. If he leaves, I'll hold you responsible!"
Lin Ruoli had just finished speaking when four people walked in from outside.
The four of them lifted Lin Yu up without saying anything.
Although Lin Yu knows some fighting skills, they can only be considered fancy moves.
Not to mention dealing with four of them at the same time, he couldn't even defeat one of their hands.
He was carried out by four people. He couldn't struggle at all and could only desperately turn his head to look at Lin Ruoli.
"Li'er! Li'er! You can't do this!"
"Li'er, your grandmother is still waiting for me!"
"Li'er! How could you do this..."
Lin Yu kept shouting, but he had already been carried out, and his voice became farther and farther away, until finally he could no longer be heard at all.
Lin Ruoli stood there with a cold smile on her face, looking at the door expressionlessly.
Just then, the laughter of my mother-in-law was heard in the house.
"Not bad! Really good!"
Hearing her mother-in-law's voice, Lin Ruoli woke up instantly, quickly adjusted her facial expression, and looked towards her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law..."
The mother-in-law looked at Lin Ruoli with a half-smile, "Your little skills can't fool me at all. Don't pretend in front of me!"
The expression on Lin Ruoli's face changed again and again, and she didn't know what expression to use to face her mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law didn't care much about it.
"Li'er, the things your mother taught you are simply not presentable. At best, they can only be used in the inner chambers to deceive those with weak brains and eyesight."
"But if you want to deceive more people, deceive the whole world, that is far from enough! Is your goal to be a young lady in the inner house? If you really want that, I can satisfy you right now!"
"No!" Lin Ruoli immediately shook her head, "I don't want to! But I don't know what kind of person I want to be..."
Lin Ruoli's eyes were full of confusion.
In the past, becoming a crown princess was her pursuit.
Everything she did and everything she learned was for the purpose of becoming the legitimate Crown Princess.
But now, this goal has been shattered.
What should she do after that?
What kind of person should I be?
Seeing the confusion in Lin Ruoli's eyes, the mother-in-law was not angry, but laughed instead.
"Good, as long as you are honest with me!"
"You don't know what to be, I can tell you!"
"You don't know what to do, but I can tell you!"
Lin Ruoli looked at her mother-in-law eagerly, waiting for her to continue.
My mother-in-law smiled silently.
“Before, you only wanted to become Chu Huaixu’s Crown Princess and be his subordinate.
Now, you can let Chu Huaixu be your subordinate!"
Lin Ruoli's pupils suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously said, "How is this possible!"
Chu Huaixu is the crown prince of Dayong and will inherit the throne of Dayong in the future.
How could such a person become her subordinate?
"Why not?" The mother-in-law's voice turned cold. "Who says this world must belong to men? Why can't it be a woman's world? If you want, I can make you the crown princess of Xiliang Kingdom and let you inherit the throne of Xiliang Kingdom.
When you lead the Xiliang army and flatten Dayong, Chu Huaixu will be yours. You can take him into your harem and let him live according to your wishes..."
Although my mother-in-law's voice was cold, it was filled with a strong sense of temptation.
Lin Ruoli listened to her mother-in-law's words and couldn't help but imagine:
Chu Huaixu knelt at her feet, watching her expression, being cautious with her, obeying her orders, and trying his best to please her...
Just thinking about it, Lin Ruoli's breathing became rapid and her eyes gradually became firm.
"Grandma!" Lin Ruoli looked at her, "I want this to come true! Please help me!"
Hearing Lin Ruoli's words, the mother-in-law was not surprised at all, and even laughed with satisfaction.
She knew that Lin Ruoli would definitely agree!
After laughing heartily and wantonly for a while, the mother-in-law finally said, "Okay! As long as you listen to me, you won't regret this day too far!"
Lin Ruoli was happy at first, but soon became nervous again, "Mother-in-law, can I ask a question?"
"Ask!"
"What is your relationship with my mother? Are you my—"
Before she could finish her words, Lin Ruoli saw her mother-in-law's eyes turn cold in an instant, so she quickly shut up and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The mother-in-law stared at Lin Ruoli expressionlessly for a while. Seeing that Lin Ruoli's body was trembling slightly with fear, she smiled with satisfaction.
"Li'er, although you are young, you are still very smart!"
"The most important thing for a person is to know what to ask and what not to ask. If you don't even understand this, then you are completely worthless. Do you understand?"
Lin Ruoli's face turned pale, and she nodded rapidly, "I understand! I understand! Li'er understands!"
"That's good! Go back and rest. Starting tomorrow, you have to get up before dawn. You've wasted several years and are far behind Yu Youning. Starting tomorrow, you must study twice as hard to catch up with her and surpass her. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Go!"
Lin Ruoli bowed and then turned and walked out.
After Lin Ruoli left, the smile on her mother-in-law's face disappeared, and she ordered in the empty room, "Go and release Lin Yu, and let him go back to Dayong."
The room was still empty, but a vague voice asked, "Why did you let Lin Yu go?"
"Only by letting Lin Yu go can Lin Ruoli understand and believe that no one else can help her except me. She can only rely on me and listen to me. What I need is an obedient chess piece, a chess piece that doesn't need to have any ideas of his own."
"Understood."
