The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 383 Li Hong's Cooperation

Li Hong continued to invite Xu Yuan for a few more days, and Xu Yuan went out to play with him as usual, but the sense of distance was stronger than before.

Li Yin's dissatisfaction had been clearly expressed before, Xu Yuan decided to follow his will, and hardly acted in front of Li Hong, and would not deliberately make herself weak, Li Yin said that he didn't like Li Hong at that time look at her eyes.

Li Hong was depressed. He didn't understand why Xu Yuan, who was doing well, suddenly became cold. A few days ago, she looked shy and timid, but these days she has completely lost her previous appearance.

When he went out to play, he always looked like he was in a hurry to go back home. He was very unhappy. The information brought back by the person sent to investigate Xu Yuan a few days ago was very vague. She had been married for so long, but the man beside him It's almost impossible to find anything.

He has been playing outside with Xu Yuan for the past few days, and a lot of time has been wasted. The emperor has already urged him to spend a lot of time. He needs to re-engage in the affairs of the court, and Xu Yuan needs to let it go.

But with the current situation in the court, he didn't want to wait any longer. He could only decide to make a quick decision, and directly told Xu Yuan his goal. The two of them cooperated for a win-win situation, and she had no reason to refuse.

Xu Yuan came out at Li Hong's invitation. The revision speed of the medicine shop these days is nearing completion, and it will be over soon. She has already asked people to prepare medicinal materials, and she is waiting to open as soon as possible.

The place Li Hong took Xu Yuan to today was a bustling street market in the imperial city. It seemed to be a festival, and there were so many people now...

Xu Yuan was thinking about the pharmacy, and was very irritable in front of Li Hong, almost never smiling.

Li Hong took her for a while on the road, and the topic got straight to the point.

"Miss Xu, what is your current food production?"

Xu Yuan became alert, lowered her eyes and said, "About five thousand shi." She deliberately said less.

Li Hong twirled his wrench with one hand, and the calculation in his eyes was fully revealed: "If I say that I want to cooperate with the girl, do you have any intention?"

"Cooperation?" Xu Yuan raised her head blankly, "My food is already being supplied with the imperial court. What does the crown prince mean by cooperation?"

Li Hong felt pleasantly surprised, seeing that this person didn't know about the various interest disputes in the court, then this matter would be much easier to handle.

"Girl's food is what the people of the world need now. Therefore, I want the girl to help the people when they are in trouble."

"I will naturally help the people. This is also my original intention of opening a grain shop. People's livelihood is suffering. This is something no one can see."

She sneered in her heart, but she just wanted to stand on his side in the future, and she had to talk about the common people first, which was ridiculous.

"The girl, are you willing to help those common people through my hands?"

"What do you mean?" Her expression became serious.

Li Hong led her to a nearby restaurant, and Xiao Er took her directly to the private room.

"Young lady doesn't know something. Now there are people with ulterior motives in the court, and your food is the sweet pastry in the eyes of everyone in the court." He cleared his throat, "Now I'm the only one who comes to you to talk about this. Things, but after that, more people will come to you, and your food is safest with me."

"Prince, don't worry, my food is always in my own hands, and I will never give it to others casually. It is in my hands and at my disposal, and it will definitely fall to the people in the end. There is no need for the prince to worry."

"Miss Xu, if you think this way, you are a little too naive." His eyes darkened, "I am so talkative to discuss with you now, but it may not be the case when it comes to others. The methods they use may not be like that. I do."

Xu Yuan sincerely wanted to go around in circles with him. Before doing things, Li Hong especially liked to beautify his purpose first and put himself in the position of a good person, but in fact, the things he did were dirtier than anyone else.

"Then the prince will protect me then? Why should I be afraid?"

Li Hong's face froze for a moment: "I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever."

Xu Yuan raised her eyebrows: "What kind of argument is this? The prince will be the ruler in the future, and he will be in that position for the rest of his life. Naturally, he can protect me."

"You can't talk nonsense." He panicked for a moment, saying that the emperor is still alive is treasonous.

Xu Yuan narrowed her eyebrows and said, "I made a slip of the tongue. It's just that I have always believed that His Royal Highness is a man who will protect me and benefit the common people, right?"

"Yes." Li Hong gritted his teeth. This girl was a little too simple. He couldn't say such words directly. He also wanted the good image he had maintained in front of her before, so he didn't want to. He had to tear his skin apart, after all, he still liked Xu Yuan's appearance and wanted to keep it for himself.

"If that's the case, then it doesn't matter if the food is not handed over to the crown prince. It will be given back to the people anyway." She laughed childishly.

Li Hong was completely at a loss for words, he seemed to be persuaded by Xu Yuan, it seemed that he really didn't mind if he didn't get what she was holding.

"Your Highness, I will be returning to Yonghua City in a few days. I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for taking care of me these days." Xu Yuan raised the teacup in her hand, held it up to Li Hong, and drank it in one gulp.

Looking at her appearance, Li Hong swallowed what he was going to say, it doesn't matter, there is no pressure around him to compete for the throne, just wait a little longer.

After that, besides Xu Yuan's husband-in-law, he will take Xu Yuan to his side, and then everything will still be his.

Li Hong sent Xu Yuan back to Zhang's residence, saying that he would not come to Zhang's residence for the next few days, and he was busy with court affairs after all, so he had to take care of them.

Xu Yuan wished this would be the result, if not, she could take the matter of the pharmacy seriously in the future.

The end time can also be earlier in the morning, and the pharmacy is fully open, so they can go back to Yonghua City.

When Li Hong returned to the palace, the first time he went to meet him, it was the eyeliner he raised.

They didn't find any useful clues about Xu Yuan's matter before, so he ordered to go down and investigate thoroughly, and just got the final result today.

The man was waiting for Li Hong to come back in the main hall, his face looked a little nervous, and he didn't know why.

"Your Highness, I have gained something new this time." The man trembled as he spoke, as if he didn't quite believe what he heard.

"Say." Li Hong said with a cold face, a little impatient.

"We just inquired about Xu Yuan's husband-in-law. According to people in their village, her husband-in-law is a fool named... Li Yin."
