Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 203 Li Mansion, ready to move

Facing Concubine Li Shu's angry eyes, Su Yibin shuddered and knelt down.

Concubine Li Shu glanced lowly, and Madam Zhang immediately lowered her head, leading the other palace people to retreat quietly.

"Do you know why I made you kneel?"

"My son doesn't know."

Saying that he didn't know, Su Yibin's expression clearly showed a hint of guilt.

Concubine Li Shu, who just moved to the side of the imperial concubine's couch, immediately cast her eyes on Su Yibin's face, and said in a low voice, but somewhat awe-inspiring, "You don't know?"

"Well, I don't know. Since you don't know, then just kneel here and wait for when you think about it and when you stand up again."

Concubine Li Shu sat down slowly, "Anyway, I have plenty of time."

A thin layer of cold sweat quietly seeped from Su Yibin's forehead, and he leaned down, "Mother Concubine... If Mother Concubine has something to discipline my son, please ask Mother Concubine to express it, I really don't know!"

With a chuckle, Concubine Li Shu held up the teacup by her hand, took a sip, and kept her eyes fixed.

After a stick of incense passed, the cold sweat on Su Yibin's forehead had already rolled down. He secretly looked at Concubine Li Shu, but there was no change in the other's expression.

Half an hour passed, and the cup of tea in Concubine Li Shu's hand had already been refilled twice.

Su Yibin finally couldn't hold it anymore, and said bravely, "Mother Concubine, Baozheng is the only blood left by my aunt, and I really can't stand to see her being trampled under by a bastard."

"It seems that you still know in your heart where you are wrong." A thin layer of anger appeared in Concubine Li Shu's eyes, and the teacup was put down heavily, making a crisp sound.

"How did Bengong tell you that you must act in a low-key manner right now, and it is too late to hide your sharpness. Fortunately, you have made such a big mess behind your back!"

Su Yibin suddenly felt aggrieved, "I just want to protect the only blood left by my aunt..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Concubine Li Shu's sneer knowingly.

"You don't need to say such high-sounding words in front of this palace. You can deceive others, but you can also deceive your mother and concubine?"

"You have been interested in Baozheng since you were a child, and Bengong has never forcibly stopped you. Since you like it, you will just accept her in the future. But Bengong never imagined that you would be so indiscriminate!"

"My son-"

"Shut up!" Concubine Li Shu sternly said, "Do you still want to argue, don't you know where you are wrong!?"

Looking around, Concubine Li Shu lowered her voice even though she knew she was in her bedroom.

"Your father's body is still strong now, but it is getting worse day by day. He puts all his heart on the prince, don't you know?"

"Now, if I know it, I will believe that you are protecting Baozheng, but have you ever thought about it, if this matter reaches the ears of your father and queen, so what will happen!?"

Su Yibin's broad shoulders trembled, and his face became a little dignified.

The emperor is old now, and he values ​​the crown prince all the more. The emperor, who has also experienced the battle for the heir apparent, has never shown it on the surface, but how can he not be aware of the open and secret struggles of these princes in his heart?
At this juncture, once word of Su Yibin's dispute with the crown prince reached the ears of the empress, how could it not arouse the empress' suspicion?
If this matter is used by other people who are eyeing the throne, then his fate may be...

"Do you understand now?" Concubine Li Shu sighed, quite a bit resentful, "In front of your father, you now have to firmly remember these three words!"

Su Yibin suddenly became afraid, the cold sweat had already dampened his close-fitting clothes, "Mother, concubine, I know I'm wrong--then, what should I do now?"

how?So far, what else?Concubine Li Shu squinted her eyes, her well-maintained, wrinkle-free face showed a chilling chill.

"What has been done can't be taken back, but it doesn't mean that there is really no way."

Concubine Li Shu waved at Su Yibin who was kneeling on the ground, beckoning him to come closer, and whispered to him for a while, then saw Su Yibin's face gradually became serious...

The next day, noon.

At the gate of Qiancui Courtyard, before people arrive, the sound arrives first.

"Look around, the pear tree in the second lady's yard is more beautiful!"

Bizhu quickly opened the door curtain, and bowed respectfully to Su Yunhao and Qi Jinzhi.

"Hey, it's okay, outside the palace, there's no need for so much politeness. Where's your lady?"

Before the words finished, Mu Changge had already walked out of the house, "Your Highness is in such a hurry, but what's the matter?"

As he said that, Mu Changge instructed Bizhu again: "The weather is fine today, make a pot of tea and serve it out."

"There's no need for tea, but I heard that Second Miss has opened a new pot of peach blossom wine. I know this girl likes it, so why not drink a couple of cups with her here?"

What Su Yunhao said was eloquent, but the knowing girl who followed behind her blushed, and she didn't dare to burst out of anger.

Qi Jinzhi stroked the hem of his clothes, sat down and said with a smile: "You are such a boring person, you make fun of a little palace maid all day long, and you don't mind other people laughing at you, His Royal Highness."

"Knowing and not annoying me, right, Zhiyi girl?" Su Yunhao looked over with a playful smile.

The knowingly pretty face blushed again and again, she was clearly angry, and when she said it, she could only say aggrievedly, "I dare not."

"His Royal Highness, listen carefully. What Miss Zhiyi said is not daring, but it's not that she is not annoyed." Mu Changge said, seeing Ruyi's blushing face again, he found it interesting and soft-hearted, so he found a reason to dismiss her. She went to stay with Bizhu.

The three sat down one by one, and Mu Changge filled the empty tea cups in front of him one by one, "Why is Your Highness here?"

"Second Miss is really eccentric, why don't you ask the prince why he came, but just ask me."

Qi Jinzhi's eyes slanted, "If you feel biased, you can go."

"How can it be, I'm here today, but I have something important to discuss with you two. It's fine if you don't keep me, my lord, but you must keep me, Miss Er."

Su Yunhao smiled slyly, put his palms on the stone table, and leaned forward slightly, "There is a disaster in the south, do you two know?"

"I don't know." Mu Changge shook his head and said.

In the south of Bai'an, there has been plenty of rain since ancient times, and this year it has had a rare heavy snowfall. In spring, the snow melts, coupled with the continuous spring rain, it is extremely easy to cause floods.

Natural disasters have always been regarded as ominous signs. If the disaster is serious, even if it is beyond human control, local officials will be implicated to some extent.

Therefore, in order to keep the black hat on their heads, the local officials only sought funds for disaster relief before the incident became serious, so as to fill their own pockets. Few officials would clearly report the disaster situation to the emperor.

In this way, even if they are going to be angered by the emperor in the future and lose their official positions, just the white money they embezzled privately is enough for them to enjoy for a lifetime.

According to the memories of Mu Changge's previous life, when Su Yunhao came to Qiancuiyuan, the local officials were still keeping the disaster under wraps. When it was reported to the imperial court, the disaster was suppressed by an unknown amount.

Mu Changge's fingers holding the teacup subconsciously strengthened a little bit, and a hint of pity flashed in his cold eyes.

If her memory is not wrong, the current disaster situation is still relatively stable, but it won't be long before a catastrophe is about to happen...

The current Su Yunhao obviously didn't know about it, "I didn't pay much attention to this matter at the beginning, the south is flooded, isn't this something that happens every year?"

"And it's just flooding some farmland. It's enough to ask the court to allocate some relief money. There is never any need to send anyone specially. But this time, Grand Tutor Li volunteered."

"What do you mean?" Mu Changge's eyes sank, and they were much sharper than before.

Su Yunhao lowered his voice, "Teacher Li went to the father's place to have a secret conversation, and I have not been able to find out more details for the time being."

After finishing speaking, Su Yunhao looked at Mu Changge with deep meaning, "There are some things that I don't need to say too clearly, Second Miss should also understand."

Mu Changge's expression froze slightly, then he nodded, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness."

After saying this, Su Yunhao didn't mention anything about the palace anymore. After the two left, Bi Zhu packed up the things one by one, then avoided others and asked in a low voice.

"Miss, what does Mrs. Li have to do with Mrs. Mrs. Li, who wants to take the initiative to ask Ying to control the water, why should Mrs. beware?"

"I'm afraid it's not me who really needs to be on guard." Mu Changge looked aside, and asked Suyu, "Is elder brother back?"

"Miss Hui, the young master hasn't come back yet, but the master, he came back early after leaving the court." Suyu replied, "If the young lady has something to ask the young master, you should wait patiently. The servants returned two days ago." I heard people say that the eldest young master is highly valued by the emperor now."

Seeing Suyu's smiling face, it was obvious that the fact that Mu Hongyu was valued by the emperor was undoubtedly a happy event in her eyes.

It's just...is it really a happy event to be valued by the emperor?

Mu Changge narrowed his eyes, and also the cold light in his eyes.Her intuition told her that Taifu Li's seemingly righteous act of worrying about the country and the people was most likely aimed at their Mu family.

Now, no matter in anyone's eyes, the Mu family has obviously been relegated to the crown prince's henchmen.And Mu Hongyu, who had just shown his edge in the court, would naturally be classified as Su Yunhao's right-hand man by everyone.

For anyone who wants to compete for the throne, Prince Su Yunhao is undoubtedly the biggest stumbling block.

They can't move Su Yunhao's already stable forces, but they also won't just watch his other force grow into—

And this force refers to Mu Hongyu who is like a fish in water in the court and has gradually shown his sharpness.

If Master Li and the others really got their hands... Mu Changge's brows tightened secretly, and after a little thought, he called Suyu to his eyes again.
