Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

   Chapter 623 Admit it, you just care

   Now it's Jiang Ning's turn to wonder.

"How did you know?"

   She was sure that Jiang Ruobai would not go to ventilate with the prince just after telling herself.

   However, she soon figured it out.

   Before waiting for Zhao Yuanjing to answer, she smiled and said, "It seems that although His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't care about the emperor's illegitimate child, he still cares very much in his heart."

  Li Hongyuan drank the soup gracefully, and said indifferently: "The father and the royal handed over the reception of the prince and princess of Silla to the East Palace. Shouldn't I know a little more?"

   "Admit it, you just care about Li You's return."

  "..." Li Hongyuan put down the spoon, wiped his lips gracefully with a towel, and looked at her calmly, "If you insist on admitting it, you will be satisfied. Then I will admit it."

  Jiang Ning leaned over: "How long have you known about this?"

  Li Hong picked up the teacup far away: "Which one are you talking about?"

   "Don't drink tea right after dinner, it's not good for your stomach." Jiang Ning took his tea cup away, "That's why Li You was caught by Xinluo Kingdom."

   "It shouldn't be later than your father knew."

   "Since you already knew it, why didn't you do it?"

   "What hand?"

   "Of course..." Jiang Ning made a gesture of wiping his neck.

   Li Hongyuan looked at her: "Are you addicted to killing?"

   "This is a struggle, bro."

Li Hongyuan stood up, put his hands on the table, leaned over to look at her, and said softly, "Jiang Xiaoqi, do you think Li You is powerful enough to threaten me. Or am I too useless to even deal with a prince of the county? "

  Jiang Ning leaned back on the back of the chair, kept a distance from his face, and said with a smile, "I am of course positive about His Royal Highness's abilities. However, why not remove the potential threat in advance?"

  Li Hongyuan pondered seriously, and asked, "What do you think is the chance that I would reach out to Silla and successfully kill Li You, and do it so flawlessly that the royal father would never find out?"

  Jiang Ning: "...70%?"

   "Even if there is only a 10% chance of failure, I will not do it."

   "I didn't see it, you are quite steady."

   "No." Li Hongyuan shook his finger lightly, "This prince likes to take the moral high ground first when he does things. If someone harms me, I fight back, and I take the initiative to harm others, that's a different matter."

   He stood up straight and said with a smile: "After all, I don't want to be a murderer of my brother in the eyes of my father. I also don't want to be a ruthless prince in the hearts of ministers and people."

   Jiang Ning laughed dryly: "That's true. As a prince, it's still very important to have a good reputation."

   "No, as a human being, you need to have a good reputation."

   "I don't care."

"yes?"

  Li Hongyuan nodded slowly, "Why don't I give you an inappropriate example?"

"tell me the story."

   "One day in the future, if I board the Dabao, I will be faced with the matter of establishing a queen. Right?" Li Hongyuan looked at her.

"yes."

   "According to the rules of ancestral training, I must stand up as a concubine, which is you. But if, in my heart, I love other women more, such as Li Yuanyuan, I want to make her the queen and make you a concubine?"

   Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows: "Would you do this?"

"Maybe." Li Hongyuan was noncommittal, "I can't decide this matter entirely. If you have a good reputation for being virtuous, once I have this idea, countless ministers and scholars will naturally stand up against it. But, if Do you have a bad reputation?"
