Chapter 311 Xie Xun Enters the Palace
"Of course I feel sorry for Mumu. Okay, okay, one day won't make a difference. I can see more clearly tomorrow."
Li Mumu nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty. You are the best to Mumu."
Emperor Xuande was amused by Li Mumu and laughed out loud, but Concubine Rong beside him was uneasy. She always had a bad premonition, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
Her eyes inadvertently swept over the King of North Vietnam. The man did not look at her directly, but just raised the corner of his lips as a response.
His reaction reassured Concubine Rong, so she calmed down and joked, "I originally thought the child was here to protect Mumu from disaster, but now it seems Mumu is protecting him very closely."
Emperor Xuande smiled and said, "Who says it's not true? Mumu is so young, yet she's already taking care of her skin. I'm even more curious to see where this young man comes from and how he managed to win the heart of our little elf."
"You'll find out tomorrow."
The palace banquet lasted until midnight, during which time Li Mumu almost fell asleep, but it was impossible for her to really fall asleep due to the noise.
She seemed to be squinting, but her little head was constantly thinking about tomorrow's plan, and from time to time she had to deal with Li Yuan who was trapped in the space by her.
Sometimes he complained that he was hungry, and sometimes he complained that he was thirsty.
Li Mumu secretly gave him some of the leftover bones she had gnawed on.
Li Yuan didn't dare to despise it, because he knew that if he missed it, he would probably go hungry for several days.
When the palace banquet ended, Princess Qingyang was reluctant to leave Li Mumu and wanted her to stay.
But Li Mumu still refused, "I have to go back. I will enter the palace tomorrow."
Qingyang nodded, and as he hugged her, he lowered his voice and said in her ear: "Mumu, be careful tomorrow."
Li Mumu looked at Princess Qingyang, and Princess Qingyang nodded at her.
Li Mumu knew that this was not just a simple expression of concern, she must have heard something.
"Princess, see you tomorrow." Li Mumu waved at her. Because of Caique's arrival, she had no chance to ask more questions.
After returning to the Gu family, Li Mumu didn't rush to bed.
Old Master Gu sat on the armchair, facing two little children, Xie Xun and Li Mumu.
The three sons of the Gu family were all waiting outside, which showed that the matter they were about to discuss was of great importance.
"Does Xie Xun really have to go to the palace tomorrow?" Old Master Gu asked in a deep voice.
Xie Xun was already eager to try, and Li Mumu nodded vigorously, "Grandpa, now is the time."
Because Gu Jian already knew her plan, he admired her for being able to think of it so perfectly.
"Okay, then tomorrow, Xie Xun, you can come along."
That night, Xie Xun couldn't sleep at all, his mind was full of thoughts about what would happen tomorrow.
…
The next morning, Mr. Gu brought Li Mumu and Xie Xun into the palace.
The eunuch at the palace gate looked at Xie Xun, a little surprised, but because of his low status, he didn't dare to stop him.
Emperor Xuande was accompanying Prince Xian and Hu Lie in the imperial garden, enjoying the beautiful scenery, which was a scenery that had never been seen in North Vietnam.
"We North Vietnamese people don't like these flowers and plants. They are difficult to take care of and keep alive, and they look good but are useless." Hu Lie said while enduring the pain.
The virtuous king smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please do not blame me. Hu Lie is a rough man, but this delicate flower is indeed difficult to survive in our North Vietnam. On the other hand, our North Vietnamese trees can grow well in any harsh environment."
How could Emperor Xuande not hear the sarcasm of the virtuous king? Although he was unhappy, he couldn't turn his face against him.
Just then, the eunuch came to report that General Gu had brought Li Mumu with him.
As soon as they heard Li Mumu's name, everyone became excited, even Hu Lie was eager to try. He had lost such a big person yesterday, how could he not want to save face?
"Where's that kid named Xie Xun?"
"My Lord, I am here too."
Emperor Xuande smiled and said, "Quick, bring them here."
Emperor Xuande felt that the momentum of using Li Mumu to destroy the North Vietnamese was just right. If it was too much, he would say that she was just a child and they couldn't bother with a child. If it was just right, it would be enough to make them angry for several days.
Therefore, Li Mumu is the only one who can deal with the North Vietnamese.
Emperor Xuande asked people to stop under the octagonal pavilion by the lake, drink tea, eat snacks, and wait for Gu Jian to come with the two children.
He saw the young man from a distance. He looked to be about ten years old, with a tall and straight figure. He was standing behind Li Mumu. Although it was his first time in the palace, he was neither humble nor arrogant. There was a vague sense of familiarity between him and Li Mumu.
But he didn't think much about it.
I've seen a lot of handsome young men, and most of them look similar.
Although this kid is here to protect Li Mumu from disaster, Gu Jian will definitely not agree if he is ugly.
The closer he got, the more familiar he felt, especially when he knelt in front of him, Emperor Xuande almost changed his expression.
The look on his face as he struggled to kneel down, he had a full view from his high place, and because he was so lost in thought, he forgot to ask them to get up.
By the time they came to their senses, they had been kneeling for a while.
"Get up."
As he spoke, his eyes did not move away from Xie Xun's face.
"You are Xie Xun. Lift your head and let me take a good look at the grandson-in-law chosen by Lord Gu."
Xie Xun raised his head obediently, his gaze was just like his personality, neither humble nor arrogant. What was there to be afraid of? The one who should be afraid should be the one sitting in the upper seat.
Emperor Xuande drank tea to hide his panic. He suddenly looked at Gu Jian with a sharp look in his eyes, "Is this the person you chose?"
Gu Jian smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a coincidence. I made a big mistake last year, and I met him on the way to exile. I felt that this was fate, so I asked a fortune teller to tell me and I stayed."
"Gu Jian!"
"I am here!"
Emperor Xuande's face was gloomy. "Come with me."
After watching the king and his minister move away, the wise king looked at the two children with interest. Hu Lie naturally didn't think much. He just stared at Li Mumu, as if he wanted to eat her.
"Little Princess, what happened?"
Li Mumu looked at the virtuous king and shook her head. "I don't know, virtuous king, do you know?"
"If I knew, why would I ask you? But the emperor was in a good mood just now, but after seeing you... you, he was not so happy anymore. I think the problem lies with you, my fiancé."
Li Mumu couldn't help but think that this fox was really cunning. He actually guessed it.
But so what?
"Empress Rong has arrived."
Li Mumu raised her eyebrows, the show was about to begin.
Xie Xun tightened his grip, but still couldn't help looking at the woman who had killed his entire family.
She is enjoying great success, but her parents are burdened with infamy and she herself has to endure humiliation and live in seclusion. Now is the time for reckoning.
Before Rong Fei could even get close, she heard the furious voice of Emperor Xuande in the distance, "Gu Jian, you have deceived the emperor and must be put to death."
