Chapter 168



Li Heng nodded tiredly, looking at Lin Qingya with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He stood up and walked towards the bedroom, but Lin Qingya whispered behind him: "Father, you are too worried about the Crown Prince. Perhaps some of your concerns are unnecessary."

Li Heng stopped and turned to look at Lin Qingya, a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Qingya, why do you say that? Do you know that what the prince did is really worrying?"

Lin Qingya walked to Li Heng calmly and said softly, "Father, you think that the Crown Prince will be bad for you because you have always been on guard. You should think from another perspective. The Crown Prince may want to gain your recognition and trust."

Li Heng frowned, as if he was hesitant, as if he was thinking about what Lin Qingya said. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What do you want to say? Qingya, what do you think?"

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Father, I suggest you give His Royal Highness some opportunities to participate in government affairs. You need to observe from the sidelines. If he has any ulterior motives, you can stop him immediately. If he really wants to assist you, you can let him do it. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Li Heng carefully thought about Lin Qingya's words. Her suggestion seemed reasonable, but it was full of mystery. Li Heng carefully observed Lin Qingya's expression. He couldn't see through Lin Qingya's true intentions, but he couldn't deny that Lin Qingya's suggestion was indeed a good choice.

Li Heng hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Qingya, your suggestion makes sense, but I still need to consider it."

Lin Qingya smiled and nodded. She knew that she had successfully introduced Li Heng into her plan. She would closely observe Li Chengqian's actions in the next period of time to prepare for her next move.

Li Heng was silent for a moment, looking at Lin Qingya with complicated eyes. Lin Qingya remained calm, as if she had expected Li Heng's response. She lowered her eyes slightly and said softly: "Father, I know you are worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have real power, but I want to take this opportunity to observe your actions and see whether you really want to assist you or have other intentions."

Li Heng pondered for a moment and whispered, "That's right, what you said makes sense. But I'm really worried about the prince's character. You have to be more careful and don't be taken advantage of." Li Heng paused, as if he remembered something, and asked softly, "Qingya, didn't you say before that you wanted to meet the prince? Now is a good opportunity."

Lin Qingya raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a little cunning that was hardly noticeable, and said: "Father, I do want to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I want to hear your thoughts. What do you think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Heng sighed deeply and said, "Your Highness, you are indeed smart, but you are too impatient and too stubborn. You are easily swallowed by desire and have difficulty controlling yourself." He paused and said, "However, you are a descendant of the Li family after all. You cannot watch you destroy your future."

Lin Qingya looked at Li Heng and sneered in her heart. She knew that Li Heng was disappointed with Li Chengqian, but he didn't want to give up completely. She nodded gently and said, "Father is right. His Royal Highness is your son after all, so you should naturally consider him. However, I think that His Royal Highness may need an opportunity, an opportunity for him to prove himself."

Li Heng looked up at Lin Qingya, and felt that there was something else behind her words, but he couldn't tell what it was. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Qingya smiled slightly and whispered, "Father, how about letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince participate in some state affairs so that he can train himself in practice?"

Li Heng frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something. He hesitated for a while and said, "We need to discuss this matter later. However, what you said is not unreasonable. I will consider your suggestion."

Lin Qingya smiled calmly, she knew that she had already deliberately introduced Li Heng into her plan. She would use Li Heng's worries to push Li Chengqian to the forefront, making him unknowingly expose his true face and paving the way for her next move.

Lin Qingya smiled slightly and turned to leave. She turned her head to look at Li Heng and whispered, "Father, I will take my leave."

Li Heng looked at Lin Qingya's back as she left, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He didn't know what Lin Qingya wanted to do, but he felt that Lin Qingya seemed to be planning something.

Li Heng watched Lin Qingya leave without saying a word for a long time. A guard walked up from behind him and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Prime Minister Lin's daughter?"

Li Heng was silent for a moment, then whispered, "She is very smart and ambitious, and it's hard to see through her."
