Yan Li guessed that these six people were originally planning to show their courtesy and loyalty.

After all, the women soldiers in the inner courtyard came to welcome the prince. As male favorites, if they did not show their loyalty, wouldn’t it be too cold and disrespectful?

However, no one expected that the prince would deal with Duan Yaoshu right away, which immediately made the others stop thinking.

Although they were all sent to the prince’s mansion on the same day, they didn’t know each other’s details very well, because they had different positions and the people behind them were not the same person. ŴŴŴ.

They could guess that Duan Yaoshu was dragged out and beaten to death because of this rebellion.

He should be someone of Concubine De and Prince Li—or someone related to Prince Li.

"Ling Feng." Yan Li ignored everyone's thoughts and looked at the black-clothed teenager kneeling in the first row: "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to stay in the mansion anymore, go back to Yanling."

Ling Feng already knew that the eldest prince knew his identity, so he was not surprised at this time and responded respectfully: "Yes."

Such a submissive attitude is completely different from his rebellious appearance when he first entered the mansion.

"Qi Yan, Wen Li." Yan Shu's eyes turned slightly, "Starting today, you will be the tutor of the regent eldest prince, and you will go to court with me every day. When there are important matters, you can discuss politics with me."

Discuss politics?

The two teenagers kneeling in the second row and trembling raised their heads in surprise and looked at Qi Yan and Wen Li in front of them.

Let the male favorite be the tutor?

Why does the eldest prince always make such amazing decisions?

Qi Yan and Wen Li said nothing, asked nothing, and replied respectfully: "Yes."

"As for the two of you..." Yan Li turned his eyes to the last two boys, "What are your names?"

The two boys were pale: "My name is Qin Qi."

"My name is Qin Shu."

Yan Li smiled faintly: "Did Yan Jin really send you here as male concubines?"

The two were so scared that their faces turned pale and they kowtowed repeatedly: "I deserve to die! Please spare my life, Lord! Please spare my life!"

"Your son has been imprisoned, where are you two going to go?" Yan Li asked coldly, "It's not easy for him to train you for so many years. Well, I think the two of them should be proficient in many skills. "

"We two slaves have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and we don't know anything else. The fourth prince ordered us to please His Highness the Grand Duke, and we don't have to do anything else. We really didn't do anything. Since we entered the Grand Duke's mansion, we have been obedient and prudent, and we also ask the Grand Duke to be clear-headed. "

"Proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Yan Li pondered, "Then send them to Nanfeng Pavilion."

The two begged for mercy: "The Grand Duke——"

"If you don't want to go, you will die." Yan Li said indifferently, "Being beaten to death or Nanfeng Pavilion, you can choose."

The two were speechless and pale.

Yan Li ordered people to take them out and send them to Nanfeng Pavilion.

The six male favorites were dealt with in a blink of an eye, leaving only two people, and Qi Yan and Wen Li soon got up and left.

"These two were left behind by King Yu. They have some skills and can be kept for reuse." Yan Li turned her head and looked out the window. "Is the Prince Consort satisfied with this treatment?"

Mu Cang, who had been standing by like a spectator watching a show, smiled and said, "Satisfied."

Yan Li chuckled, "I'm going to take a bath and change clothes. You step aside for a moment."

"As a husband, I'm honored to serve His Highness in a bath."

Yan Li said indifferently, "I don't mind. I'm just worried that someone can't stand it."

Mu Cang said calmly, "My husband has great self-control."

Yan Li said nothing more. The maids in the palace quickly helped her change clothes and take a bath.

Mu Cang also went out to find a place to change clothes.

Lunch was pleasant.

After lunch, the two took a nap for half an hour. After getting up, they began to call the housekeeper and the nanny to ask about the handling of things that happened in the Prince's Mansion before and after the New Year, and explained a few things.

In the evening, Yan Li and Mu Cang entered the palace together and had dinner with the emperor and empress.

After a whole afternoon of adjusting their mood, the emperor and empress looked normal. They were very happy to see Yan Li and Mu Cang. After a few simple greetings, they ordered the palace servants to bring up the rich and delicious meals.

"I was so happy to see you return safely this morning that I forgot to ask about your injury." Emperor Wen frowned, "How could you get injured in Fenglu? The situation there is very dangerous?"

Yan Li did not answer but asked, "Your Majesty should have interrogated the governor Han Yun and his concubine Shen Yunniang?"

"The Ministry of Justice has interrogated them." Emperor Wen nodded, with a gloomy look on his face, "Han Yun said that all this was set up by Yan Jin, who deliberately led you there and wanted to get rid of you in Fenglu again."

Yan Li hummed, "That's true. Yan Jin has had dealings with Prince Dugu of Yan State for a long time. Prince Dugu brought his two princesses to marry the emperor in the name of forcing him to marry the eldest son, trying to make the emperor release Yan Zheng."

It's a good calculation.

Emperor Wen looked grim: "I have raised so many good sons, each one is more scheming than the other!"

"I didn't expect that the most scheming person was Yan Jin," Jiang Yi said solemnly, "Looking gentle and elegant, he didn't seem to have a bad temper, but he was the most vicious."

Although Yan Yun was impulsive and reckless, and even had the idea of ​​regicide, he was always on the surface. Once a person is too impulsive and stupid, his viciousness will be less scary.

But Yan Jin has always been the best at disguising himself, pretending to be indifferent to the world. At one point, because of the hostility of Yan Zheng and Yan Chen, he tried to compensate Yan Li for the unfair treatment he received.

I didn't expect that among the four princes, he was the most hidden.

"Don't judge a person by appearance." Yan Li took a bite of the food and said in a light tone, "The higher the position, the more dangers you face. I have been well prepared, so I don't feel disappointed."

She never had the so-called brother-sister love for the four princes, nor did she expect to get any family affection from them.

Mu Cang said: "The royal family has always been treacherous, not to mention that the struggle for the throne is a matter of conflicting interests. Brothers are not brothers, and sons are not sons. In everyone's eyes, there is power and calculation. There is no need to have too high expectations for family affection."

"Mu Cang is right." Yan Li agreed, "It coincides with my idea."

The emperor and the queen saw them showing their affection so openly, and their expressions were subtle.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Wen finally got down to business: "Speaking of feelings... I wonder if the Ninth Prince has an inseparable feeling and responsibility for the royal family of Mu Kingdom?"

As soon as this question came out, Mu Cang and Yan Li instantly understood what he meant.

The problems between the couple will have to be faced sooner or later.

"In the next five years at least, Jin, Nan and Mu..." Mu Cang said, pausing slightly, "maybe we can add Beijiang, there will be no war between the four countries, so it doesn't matter if I stay in Mu or Jin."
