Chapter 313: Destroy Him
"An envoy should not linger. What if we change our identity?"
"Princess, please feel free to do as you please."
Yu Shiyan ignored her and left directly.
Nalan Yujie was not annoyed. She watched his departing figure with amusement on her face.
In contrast, the maid said indignantly, "He's just an unfavored prince, why should the princess lower herself to get close to him?"
Seeing that most of the people in the hall had left, she became bolder: "In my opinion, even the Crown Prince is not as good as the young masters of the northern noble families."
The eldest prince is mediocre and incompetent, and the king dotes on the princess so much. It's not impossible that the princess might even wield power behind the scenes in the future. Then the prince consort can simply appoint whomever he pleases—wouldn't that be wonderful?
I don't care about things that are too easily obtained.
Nalan Yujie smiled and played with the jade pendant with lily of the valley on her wrist. "The chess game started in a hurry, but I didn't expect it to be so interesting."
"By the way, did you find the person I asked you to find?"
"No, I asked around the whole way and found someone named Yijin, but the description doesn't match."
Her eyes flashed with sharpness: "They must have been protected and hidden by someone. Keep searching, even if it means digging three feet into the ground, we must find them."
"Let the northern frontier suffer losses; either bring it under our control or destroy it."
As the two were talking, Li Yuande arrived, swung his whisk. The maid immediately fell silent, lowered her head, and took a step back.
"Greetings, Princess. His Majesty sent me to inquire whether you wish to rest in the palace or return to the inn?" He squinted, forcing a natural smile.
Nalan Yujie put her veil back on. "My brother is still ill. I am too timid to recognize the palace regalia. Please convey my message that I will not stay in the palace."
"This... I'm afraid staying at the inn indefinitely isn't a long-term solution."
"Don't worry, Father-in-law, my brother and I will find our own place."
Li Yuande's somewhat cloudy eyes darted around. "Your Majesty entrusted this matter to this old servant, so there must be an explanation, right?"
Would you prefer a more lively atmosphere, or a quieter place?
Nalan Yujie smiled slightly: "Your Majesty should naturally rest and recuperate."
"The neighboring mansion of Prince Mu in the suburbs is still vacant. Would it be suitable to arrange for us there?"
"In that case, thank you for your trouble."
"By the way, may I ask my father-in-law about something?"
"Please speak, Princess."
"Who is the young lady whose identity was just bumped into by my maid?"
"That one, that one is Princess Leping, who is greatly favored by the Empress Dowager," Li Yuande explained with a smile.
When asked about his identity, he only answered with his identity, but he kept his true intentions hidden.
Fortunately, there was no rush in playing chess. Nalan Yujie nodded to him, and led by a palace maid, she left the palace.
After finally seeing off this special Buddha, Li Yuande breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly returned to the Imperial Study. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw the Emperor standing with his hands behind his back in front of the Night Sea Coral, while Princess Yuan was sitting quietly drinking tea.
Whether they had finished talking or couldn't continue, neither of them spoke, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.
He dared not say a word, standing with his head bowed, looking just like a stone statue.
After a moment, the emperor turned around, clapped his hands, and laughed: "What a fine congratulatory gift!"
Yuan Siyin put down the porcelain cup, then stood up and echoed, "It is indeed a rare treasure."
"good."
Yu Hao nodded repeatedly, pointing at Yuan Siyin, but speaking to Li Yuande: "I am delighted by the princess's kindness, and hereby grant General Si permission to return to the capital to escort the young master of the Yuan family away from the capital for training."
Li Yuande's brow twitched violently.
What's going on here now?
"In addition, I will reward you with a pair of jade ruyi scepters, one hundred bolts of Shu brocade, and eight hundred shi of rice!"
