Chapter 304 Concubine Rong's Handle
"I..." Princess Qingyang paused slightly, "We are different. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Even if I'm not in Shangjing, I can still write to you."
Li Mumu couldn't help but ask, "We're the same. Was it Concubine Rong who asked you to go?"
"If it wasn't my mother, why would she let me go? She couldn't bear to let me go."
"Really?"
"Of course, she was scolded by Father because she didn't want me to go."
"Did you see it?"
"I... Mumu, what's wrong with you? Don't you like my mother?" Princess Qingyang asked. "My mother is a very good person. She treats me well, and she likes you too."
Li Mumu took a deep breath. "It's not that I dislike Concubine Rong, but I think a true mother would rather be scolded than let her daughter marry into that kind of place so early."
She knew that Princess Qingyang was not so easy to convince, and she had no intention of letting her see the truth today.
Once the person she asked her grandfather to look for is found, the truth will be revealed.
"Okay, after a few days, when the emperor tells me about this, I won't be able to come and play with you often, but you can come to the palace to accompany me."
Princess Qingyang smiled and said, "After going through all this, I finally know who a true friend is. You may not look that old, but you are truly extraordinary. Before, I didn't believe you could take down the city on your own, but now I don't doubt it anymore."
She looked at Li Mumu, who was worried, and said, "If it's really me who was bullied, why don't you just defeat North Vietnam? Go and vent my anger for me."
She said it lightly, probably because she was unsure about the future.
Li Mumu snorted, "How long will it take for the letters to go back and forth? I'm afraid I really have the ability to break into the city. By then, you'll be bullied terribly."
"Oh, how could you say such depressing words, girl? Bah, bah, bah! This princess is smart and beautiful, how could she be like you said? No way, definitely not."
…
After Princess Qingyang left, Li Mumu went to find Mr. Gu.
"What's wrong? Did the princess bully you?" Old Master Gu saw that the little girl was in a bad mood.
Li Mumu shook her head and told him that Princess Qingyang was going to marry a foreign princess.
Old Master Gu was a little annoyed. "We fought to the death so that Dongyao would no longer be constrained and would no longer have to humble ourselves in exchange for peace. This may seem good, but in fact it makes them even more aggressive. They think Dongyao can be bullied and they can attack us at any time."
Li Mumu also thought so. Although marriage has existed since ancient times, a powerful country does not need to rely on marrying princesses to maintain its status.
It would be fine if she really wanted to get married, but pairing a ten-year-old with a fifty-year-old is enough to make me curse.
"This matter has not yet been decreed. I believe the emperor also knows that speaking out now will damage morale. But if he insists, Princess Qingyang must still marry."
Gu Jian knew that Li Mumu had close contacts with Princess Qingyang, and the two girls should have similar personalities.
It's normal for her to be reluctant.
"Grandpa, what if this isn't what the Emperor wants?"
"Mumu, what do you want to say?" Gu Jian stood up suddenly and looked solemn.
Li Mumu expressed her guess. In front of her family, she didn't need to hide her intelligence and sharpness. "It must be Concubine Rong's idea. Concubine Rong wanted the princess to marry and take the opportunity to win over North Vietnam."
Li Mumu didn't say the next words because he knew that Mr. Gu understood.
If the concubines in the harem colluded with Beiyue, it might seem like they were supporting the prince, but it might also be to force the emperor to abdicate.
This is too risky.
"Concubine Rong is so ambitious. Over the years, because she didn't give birth to a prince, the emperor has been indulging her. I didn't expect that she would even contact people from North Vietnam."
Although there was no incident in the story where Emperor Xuande was forced to abdicate, the plot has been changed now. Who knows if it will come to this.
"I have to go to the palace."
"Grandpa, you can't tell me now." Li Mumu stopped him.
"But if that were to happen, Dongyao would be in danger." Old Master Gu said worriedly.
"It's not the right time yet." Li Mumu blinked. Just now, she had come up with a good idea.
"Grandpa, when will Brother Xie Xun come back?"
"Miss him?" Gu Jian said with a smile.
"I was wondering if he had found the person." Li Mumu explained. She was still a child. What was wrong with these adults?
"You described it in such detail, how could he not find it? He should be back in the next two days, don't worry."
Everyone in the Gu family is under the watchful eyes of the Emperor and Concubine Rong. Any missing person would arouse suspicion. Only the injured Xie Xun is allowed to enter and exit easily.
So it would be most appropriate to let him find someone.
"You're such a good eavesdropper, you listen to everything that's useful!"
Li Mumu smiled. It wasn't that she could listen, but that she could see. Her memory was pretty good, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to remember where that person was.
…
Late at night, Li Mumu was about to go to bed when she heard some noise outside.
She suddenly opened her eyes, "Xie Xun brother? Why don't you come in?"
The next moment, Xie Xun opened the window and jumped in, "How did you know it was me?"
"This is the Duke's Mansion. If this little thief can get in, then the guards at the door will be useless. Who else could it be but you?"
Li Mumu smiled and said, "Where's the person? Have you found him?"
Xie Xun nodded, then looked at Li Mumu carefully.
Li Mumu felt uneasy when he looked at her, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm just curious. How do you know everything? How old are you?" Xie Xun held his chin, thinking seriously. "I'll find it when I get there. How did you know that?"
"Of course I heard it."
"But I'm wondering, if Concubine Rong knew about this potential threat, why wouldn't she take action?"
"How should I know this?"
Xie Xun laughed twice. "Not only does she know the threat still exists, she also knows where the person is, yet she doesn't take any action. That's really strange, don't you think?"
"Maybe she thought that person wouldn't tell her."
"No!" Xie Xun shook his head. "This is not like Concubine Rong's behavior, so I really doubt how you knew this."
"It was just a dream, okay?" Li Mumu didn't expect this guy to be so hard to fool.
But he was right. If Concubine Rong knew that the woman who sent the child into the palace was still alive, she would definitely take action.
It's just that this woman was lucky and survived the stab. She was timid, so she hid her identity and dared not show up again, but she was eventually discovered and could not escape death.
Li Mumu only gave Xie Xun a few words in the book and asked him to try his luck, and he actually found it.
But this is not enough to bring down Concubine Rong and overturn the verdict on the former crown prince.
She wanted many straws to fall on her at once, leaving her no chance to breathe.
If you can't kill the enemy with one blow, don't act rashly.
