Chapter 120: You Are My Love
"Your Highness, I only have you in my heart. Can you also only have me in your heart?"
Feng Shenyu stroked Li Yueyao's back and spoke in her ear.
When Li Yueyao heard this, she suddenly became quiet.
After a while, he spoke: "The education I received since childhood tells me that monogamy is the best marriage.
If either spouse falls in love with someone else, they need to tell the other person frankly and divorce.
Then men and women get married and do not interfere with each other.
Even if you fall in love with a little girl who sweeps the floor, that’s not okay.”
Fengshenyu continued to hold the person in his arms and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. In this world of three thousand, I only love you."
Li Yueyao suddenly left Fengshenyu's arms, raised her chin proudly, and snorted:
"You're wrong, you should say.
In this world of three thousand, I love three things: the sun for the morning, the moon for the evening, and you for every morning and every evening.
Feng Shenyu laughed heartily after hearing this and hugged Li Yueyao tightly in his arms again:
“Your Highness’s love words are so touching and moving.
Okay, from now on, Your Highness will be my love day and night."
"snort!"
Li Yueyao continued to hum proudly.
The two of them cuddled for a while, and Li Yueyao leaned in Fengshenyu's arms, chatting about random things.
Feng Shenyu suddenly remembered and asked, "You said there was something wrong with Wang Lang. How's the progress of sending Chen Yue to investigate?"
Li Yueyao said, "There's something wrong with the Gusu Wang family."
"It is indeed the Gusu Wang family."
"What? You suspect them too?" Li Yueyao asked in surprise.
"I told you about Li Huaiyu's concubine Chunniang before. Do you remember?"
"Well, isn't it said that the father of his concubine is the steward of the Minister of Rites' residence?
At that time, I suspected the Minister of Rites."
Li Yueyao reached out, picked up the cup of water from the tray on the water surface and took a sip.
"When I first heard Li Huaiyu talk about this, I suspected it was the work of the Wang family of Gusu."
Li Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes, Xiao Yu'er's wife is the daughter of the Gusu Wang family."
"Yes, the biological mother of his concubine Chunniang is the head nanny beside his wife Wang.
Li Huaiyu said that his wife, Wang, did not know about the relationship between the two.
But now it seems that the Gusu Wang family is highly suspected, and it is impossible for his wife not to know this, even..."
"Even his wife is the leader." Li Yueyao continued.
"Yeah." Feng Shenyu nodded.
Li Yueyao frowned for a long time and said tentatively: "Well...you said, Xiaoyu'er..."
"He can't be."
Fengshenyu directly denied Li Yueyao's speculation about Li Huaiyu.
"How can you be so sure?"
"We grew up together, so I know him very well. But his father arranged the marriage for his wife."
"Why do you suspect my cousin?
Hasn't he always been living a carefree life in the red-light district, not minding his own business?" Li Yueyao glanced sideways.
"It's because he doesn't take care of things that we say he has problems.
Because he was extremely concerned about Li Huaiyu's marriage, he had a big argument with Prince Cheng and insisted that Li Huaiyu marry Wang.
Li Yueyao nodded and said, "Hearing you say that, there are some problems.
Whose daughter did Uncle Cheng Wang arrange for Xiao Yuer to marry?
“The Zong family, the old Grand Tutor’s granddaughter Zong Feilin.
Moreover, Li Huaiyu and Zong Feilin were in love with each other at that time, and Prince Cheng agreed.
Just when the two were about to get married, it was abruptly disrupted, and Li Huaiyu was forced to marry Wang.
"Could it be because of this that Uncle Cheng allowed Xiao Yu'er to inherit the title of Prince of Shou'an?"
"Yes. Later, Zong Feilin married Huai Xiujin, and they went to the border together.
Li Huaiyu was addicted to brothels and wine shops, often staying out all night.
"Oh, so Xiaoyu'er doesn't like Wang either. This should be a deal led by my cousin?"
"You could say that."
"Then this matter is worth pondering. You can find some time to ask Xiao Yuer about what happened to his father back then.
As for the Gusu Wang Clan, let Chen Yue continue to monitor them, and you can withdraw Yu Zhan."
It would have been fine if Li Yueyao didn't mention Yu Zhan, but when she mentioned Yu Zhan, Fengshenyu started to grind her teeth. She found out that there was something wrong with Wang Lang but didn't report it, making her jealous for so many days in vain.
At the next morning court, all the ministers knew about Wang Lang's incident at Li Yueyao's birthday banquet yesterday, and they all looked at Feng Shenyu with an attitude of watching a good show.
But Feng Shenyu appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face.
The emperor was unhappy when he saw this. This guy must have used the beauty trap again last night, and it seemed to have succeeded.
Alas, aunt, can't you be more promising?
After the morning court session ended, Feng Shenyu presided over a small court meeting in a side hall of the Taiji Palace to continue discussing state affairs.
The emperor used a headache and feeling unwell as an excuse, sat for a while and then left, leaving Feng Shenyu and the important officials from the six ministries to continue the discussion.
Feng Shenyu was in a good mood today, so the atmosphere of this small court meeting was very good and everything was discussed very quickly.
But there are always those inappropriate voices, such as the Minister of Rites Ruan Anhe.
"Right Prime Minister, please advise us on how to arrange the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifices at the Imperial Ancestral Temple."
When the others heard this, they were stunned.
The incident of the emperor going to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices on Laba Festival last year and being knocked unconscious by the ancestral tablets is still vivid in our memory.
Afterwards, the emperor did not offer a memorial to heaven, nor did he issue an edict of repentance. He took no action at all.
Moreover, since the beginning of the year, I have not been to the Taimiao once, but I often go to the Fengxian Hall to worship.
I'm afraid the emperor doesn't even know how the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice should be performed. Asking Feng Shenyu about this matter is purely to make things difficult for him.
But Feng Shenyu gave all his patience to Li Yueyao, and would show no mercy to those who were looking for trouble in the court.
"Just do what needs to be done and follow the usual practice."
Ruan Anhe listened and asked again: "Should I ask His Majesty for instructions on this?"
"No need." Feng Shenyu refused directly.
Ruan Anhe added, "Given the situation on Laba last year, we should ask His Majesty."
Feng Shenyu's cold eyes drifted over:
"His Majesty is in the main hall of the Taiji Palace at the back. You can go and ask him yourself."
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate... It's just a suggestion, a suggestion..."
Feng Shenyu ignored him and then asked the ministers:
"Do you all have anything else to discuss? If not, then let's stop here for today."
After the crowd dispersed, Fan Yong stayed and left with Feng Shenyu.
"Right Prime Minister, following your instructions, I sent someone to quietly patrol the border. It's no big deal, but they discovered a major problem."
Feng Shenyu sighed after hearing this: "What is meant to come will eventually come.
They have placed so many spies in the six ministries, how could they not incite the army to rebel?
Tell me what you have found out and what went wrong."
"There are no major problems in the Western Regions and the Northern Border, but the South is very complicated."
Feng Shenyu sneered, "The Nanli spies are so rampant, it's unreasonable that there are no unusual things in the south."
Fan Yong nodded after hearing this.
"The Huai family guards the northern border, and the Xue family guards the western region. Both families are loyal to the late emperor and the Great Jin, so there will be no problems.
Nanli was originally guarded by the Duke of Zhenguo, but since the Duke of Zhenguo was transferred back five years ago, the defenders of Nanli have been frequently replaced in the past five years.
There may be some involvement of Nanli spies.”
"What the Right Prime Minister said is correct. The commander-in-chief of the Southern Li border defense is General Shao Yi of the Left Guard.
But his men were divided into several factions, each operating its own group and acting like a loose sand.
Shao Yi is known for his strict military discipline, but it's only been a short time, and his men are showing such lax discipline. This doesn't make sense."
Feng Shenyu nodded: "Perhaps the fragmentation is just an appearance, to confuse us."
"That's possible. I'll send someone to lurk there. Apart from delivering messages periodically, they shouldn't make any moves the rest of the time."
Feng Shenyu nodded: "You are right to do this.
Take some time to discuss countermeasures with the Duke of Zhenguo, lay out the game in advance, and avoid being passive."
