Chapter 77 Yan Li, Get Out Here!
An orphan girl whose marriage was broken off dared to put forward conditions in front of the prince just because she had the support of the Ninth Prince?
I really don't know how to write the word death.
Mu Xiuhan had already had murderous intentions in his heart, and secretly swore that as long as he could successfully ascend the throne in the future, the first thing he would do was to take back the military power of the Ninth Prince and exile the couple to a bitter and cold place three thousand miles away to build a city, to see if they could hold on to the border or simply die on the way.
But the premise is to successfully ascend the throne.
Mu Xiuhan suppressed the murderous aura in his heart and said respectfully: "Little aunt, please speak."
Seeing him like this, Jiang Tingyi's heart sank.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so afraid of the Ninth Prince that he didn't hesitate to lower himself in front of Yan Li and become so respectful and flattering?
"Please be a little more polite when you see me in the future, Prince. I hope there won't be another time like today when you pointed at my nose and scolded me without any reason." Yan Li raised her hand to hook a strand of hair in front of her shoulder, her expression calm and composed, "My title of princess was given by the emperor. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to protest to the emperor."
Mu Xiuhan's eyes flashed with a haze, but he lowered his head so that no one could see it: "Little aunt, you are joking. How dare I be dissatisfied with the princess who was personally conferred by my father? I was not polite just now, please don't bother with me."
Yan Li really didn't want to bother with him. Anyway, he couldn't be the prince for long.
Rather than accepting his insincere apology verbally, it is better to let him fall to the bottom and watch him in embarrassment.
"Ninth Prince." Yan Li turned to look at Mu Cang, "Since the prince sincerely apologizes, let's just forget about today's matter. I'm not angry anymore."
Mu Cang hummed, his voice indifferent: "In the morning court, two censors impeached Prince Yu for his poor management of the family, condoning the princess to frame Princess Nanyang, and the noble ladies of the aristocratic families formed cliques to isolate Princess Nanyang. The emperor was very angry."
Mu Xiuhan's brows deepened slightly. Forming cliques?
If he remembered correctly, the eighth princess also went to Prince Yu's mansion yesterday, as well as Princess Mu Yun and Song Yingxue, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
These people are all from Prime Minister Gu's faction. The noble ladies are forming cliques, which is actually the officials from the Fourth Prince and the Prime Minister's faction. If they are impeached...
"The two censors are fair and impartial. I also think that what happened in Prince Yu's mansion yesterday was too much." Mu Xiuhan bowed to Mu Cang, "But as the crown prince, I should learn a lesson from it. Thank you for your advice, uncle."
Mu Cang looked at him without any emotion, "Take care of yourself."
"Xiuhan, I'm leaving."
Mu Xiuhan came in aggressively and left respectfully, and Jiang Tingyi beside him went from pretending to be powerful to being silent, but his face was not very good from beginning to end.
Yan Li watched them leave one after another, and did not ignore the changes in Jiang Tingyi's expression, guessing that he was dissatisfied with the prince?
Young men from scholarly families have an innate arrogance. Although Jiang Tingyi did not inherit the elegant and refined character that scholars should have, he did learn a lot of arrogance that disdains to associate with the secular world. The prince in his mind should be wise and brave, his words are as good as gold, and he is proud.
Seeing the Ninth Prince being so cowardly today should not be what Jiang Tingyi expected.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Cang approached the window, lowered his eyebrows and looked at her thoughtful expression, raised his hand and rubbed her head, "In the future, when you see these troublemakers, no matter who they are, let them beat them out."
Yan Li raised his hand to take the teacup and poured a cup of tea for Mu Cang: "Sit down."
Mu Cang walked to the side and sat down, raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Huifu who was still standing beside him, "Miss Shen, go back first."
"Yes."
Yan Li frowned: "I originally invited Miss Shen to come over for tea and chat for half a day, but I never I didn't expect that someone I hate would spare my peace of mind, and make Miss Shen come here for nothing."
"It's okay. I'll invite the princess to the mansion to appreciate the flowers when I have the chance." Shen Huifu knelt down and said, "I'll take my leave."
Yan Li told Nanny An: "Give my white jade bracelet to Miss Shen."
"No, no." Shen Huifu declined before Nanny An brought the item. "Your Highness, it's too expensive."
Shanyu jade is priceless, how could she accept it easily?
"I can't let you come here for nothing." Yan Li smiled faintly. "When the emperor granted me marriage, he also gave me a lot of expensive dowry. A bracelet is nothing."
Shen Huifu was embarrassed: "But..."
"Since the princess gave it to you, just accept it." Mu Cang said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny An brought over the brocade box with the bracelet in it. Nanny An opened it and showed it to Shen Huifu, and then covered it.
Shen Huifu bit her lip. She didn't dare to accept such a valuable item. But since the Ninth Prince had spoken, she didn't dare to refuse. She had to kneel down and saluted: "Thank you, Princess Nanyang. I am ashamed to accept it."
"The most important thing in making friends is to be sincere." Yan Li smiled. "Things that can be measured by money are not valuable."
Shen Huifu nodded and reached out to take the priceless bracelet. She felt pressured.
Yan Li said it was not valuable, but she couldn't think so.
When she left, Shen Huifu had even begun to think about what kind of return gift could repay the value of this bracelet.
Yan Li leaned on the couch and supported her chin with one hand: "What happened in the morning court?"
"After the censor's impeachment, most of the party of Prime Minister Gu were reprimanded." Mu Cang picked up the teacup and sipped the tea elegantly. "Because the punishment was issued yesterday, today is just a reprimand, but it is enough to alert the ministers."
Yan Li nodded.
"When I came here just now, I heard something."
Yan Li looked at him.
Mu Cang said calmly: "Mu Wenxuan made an appointment with Gu's daughter to Fengming Tower."
Yan Li was a little surprised - not because she was surprised that Mu Wenxuan made an appointment with Gu Anxian, but because she heard about it from Mu Cang, which made her feel strange.
"I didn't go to ask." Mu Cang explained immediately, "Before entering the mansion, I heard what Mo Yun reported."
Yan Li nodded casually: "How did Mu Wenxuan make an appointment with Gu Anxian?"
Yesterday, the Prince Yu's Mansion was punished by the imperial edict. Gu Anxian must have guessed that Mu Wenxuan's plan failed. If she really went to the appointment, it must be that Mu Wenxuan threatened her.
Otherwise, the daughter of the Gu family would not be so stupid as to avoid suspicion.
"Whatever method, as long as it works, it's fine." Mu Cang lowered his eyes and sipped his tea, "I believe that Fengming Tower will be able to send you the news you want to hear soon."
Yan Li's voice was indifferent and lazy: "Those who plot against others must be prepared to be retaliated against."
Mu Cang didn't say anything, but looked at her quietly with a pair of deep eyes, which made Yan Li raise her eyebrows: "Does my face look good?"
