Chapter 207: The Secret
Li Yuan was away from home all year round and only had a general idea of what was happening in the capital. He only knew that Emperor Jing of Wei favored Su Ruian, and Su Chenyu was his daughter after all, so she couldn't be too bad.
So when he heard Emperor Jing of Wei say these rather sarcastic words, he was somewhat confused: "I really don't understand, Your Majesty, please explain."
"Since you don't understand, then think about it carefully." After saying this, Emperor Jing of Wei turned away and didn't care about the empress dowager anymore.
The Queen Mother looked at the body of Madam Du hanging in the air and finally could not bear it any longer. She closed her eyes and fainted, causing another round of panic in the Buddhist hall.
Yan Ruqin did not surround the empress dowager with the other noble ladies, but walked out alone. After walking a few steps, she was stopped by Li Muyuan: "Miss Yan, wait a minute."
Yan Ruqin stopped and looked at Li Muyuan: "General Li, there were so many people talking just now that I didn't have time to thank you. If you hadn't blocked the whip, I wouldn't be able to stand here now."
Li Muyuan felt even more guilty: "Miss Yan, you just spoke for us, which is why you got whipped. This is what I should have done, and I should thank Miss Yan."
Yan Ruqin had never met Li Muyuan before. After two contacts, she found that the man in front of her seemed a little impulsive, but at the end of the day he had a pure heart.
"Is there anything else General Li wants to talk to me about?"
Li Muyuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I just want to ask you, are you injured?"
He knew that Yan Ruqin had been sent to a manor to be raised by the Grand Tutor since she was born, and she must have suffered a lot. Even if the Grand Tutor took her back, he might not necessarily treat her well, as there was not even anyone to serve her.
Li Muyuan himself didn't know why he couldn't help but care about someone.
"Thank you General Li for your concern. I am fine."
After Yan Ruqin answered this question, she bowed and turned to leave. Li Muyuan wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing to say, so he walked back dejectedly.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Li Mucheng. He avoided Li Mucheng's gaze and said, "Brother, why didn't you make any sound when you came?"
Li Mucheng didn't play Tai Chi with him, and asked directly: "Do you like this Miss Yan?"
Li Muyuan was shocked. He didn't think about it at all and waved his hands quickly: "I, I didn't."
"You've been so attentive to other girls before." Li Mucheng came up to Li Muyuan, sighed, and said, "Muyuan, the Queen Mother has noticed what Miss Yan said in the Buddhist hall just now. Even the Crown Prince who appeared later kept his eyes on Miss Yan from time to time. Can you understand what this means?"
Li Muyuan looked at Li Mucheng in confusion: "Doesn't the prince already have a crown princess and a concubine?"
"Now that the Crown Princess has done something like this, it's not easy for her to keep her reputation." Li Mucheng carefully analyzed it to Li Muyuan, "Qi Liqi did something like that on her wedding night. The Queen Mother and the Emperor don't like her at all. At this time, it's natural to choose a concubine for the Crown Prince. She's called a concubine, but in fact she's the main wife."
"But why would it be Miss Yan?" Li Muyuan didn't believe it.
Li Mucheng patted Li Muyuan on the shoulder and said, "You have to figure these things out slowly by yourself. I told you today to remind you. If you really like Miss Yan, you should settle the marriage before the prince makes a move."
Li Muyuan, on the other hand, did not take this matter to heart: "Brother, you must be overthinking it. Even if the prince really wants to choose a concubine, it cannot be Miss Yan."
The position of Taifu sounds like a high position, but it actually has no real power. If the prince really wants to choose a concubine, he will definitely choose someone who can help him, and there is no way he will choose Yan Ruqin.
