Chapter 45: This King Wants This Matter to Spread Throughout the Chu State
“Then... isn’t that Miss Li...?” Isn’t she the disciple of the one from Lingxiao Palace?
Chu Chenfeng didn't say anything, just drank a sip of tea and agreed.
Xing Yi frowned slightly, "But according to my observations these two times, this Miss Li doesn't seem to have any internal strength. If she is the disciple of that person, it shouldn't be the case."
"Why is this so strange? Have you forgotten his eldest disciple? Isn't he also a weak scholar?"
"How can Miss Li be compared with Dean Liu? Dean Liu is a great writer, he is..."
Chu Chenfeng put the cup on the table and asked, "Any news from Kyoto?"
Seeing that his master obviously didn't want to talk, Xingyi immediately took out two letters from his pocket and handed them over, "These just arrived."
Chu Chenfeng took the letter, opened it and scanned it quickly. Then, his handsome eyebrows frowned.
Xing Yi saw this and asked, "But something happened in Kyoto?"
Chu Chenfeng put the letter on the table without saying anything, as if he was thinking.
Xing Yi knew him well, so he took the letter and read it, and was horrified, "Is King Cheng planning a rebellion?"
"Humph, it happened once nine years ago, so there's nothing to be surprised about."
"But...there has been no movement in these years."
"He is just keeping a low profile. Besides, he is not unaware of our actions. Is he really waiting for me to confront him?"
"Then Master, should we rush back to Kyoto?"
Chu Chenfeng tapped the table lightly, "There's no rush. Send a message to Xing Si and execute the original plan. I want this matter to spread throughout the Great Chu."
There was a hint of coldness in those beautiful eyes. Back then, his brother died unjustly, and everyone said he was disloyal and unfilial. Now, he wanted everyone to know that his brother was upright and upright, and had served the people all his life, and was a qualified crown prince.
"Then in the court..." Although Xingyi understood his master's feelings, after all, he had waited for so many years, he still felt a little impulsive.
"Then throw all the evidence in the faces of those old guys. They are used to a comfortable life and have to endure everything. They say the overall situation is important and peace is the most precious. Haha, if there are more courtiers like this in the Great Chu, it will not be far from decline."
"Yes, I will deliver the message right away."
"Wait, let him send out the imperial edict of pardon at the same time."
"all?"
"As long as they were implicated in the events of that year and have been verified to be innocent, all will be pardoned."
"······yes."
Chu Chenfeng unconsciously touched the ring on his hand. The Li family was his chess move, his move to change the court.
Li Cong, Li Cong, I hope you won’t let me down.
The next morning, Li Xun arrived at the inn.
Huo Yuanruo took him directly to the private room. "Well, Second Uncle, I'll go call Junior Uncle-Master. Please sit down here for a while."
Li Xun smiled and nodded. He didn't want to correct his address, because he didn't want such a big person to call him "Master"...
Li Mulan entered the box with a look of joy on her face. "Second Uncle? You came so early, have you had breakfast?"
Li Xun was about to say that he had already eaten when he saw the other party speaking to the door, "Yuanyuan, ask the waiter to serve me some breakfast. Make it rich."
"Know it."
Li Mulan looked at Li Xun with a smile on her face, "No matter whether Second Uncle has used it or not, just accompany your niece to use some more. I just got up and haven't had breakfast yet."
Li Xun knew what his niece meant, so he replied gently, "Okay."
"Why have you come so early today? Is there something?" Li Mulan asked while pouring a cup of tea for the other party.
"It's true." Li Xun looked a little heavy. "After you left that day, your mother's condition... wasn't very good. She always felt like she was sick again and couldn't tell reality from fantasy. Your father couldn't bear to see her like that, so he told her everything about you."
Li Mulan listened carefully, and didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She was going to say it anyway, but she was a little worried about whether her body could take it. She regretted it now. She should have checked her out first. Why was she afraid of the Regent?
"At first she was very emotional, even a little out of control, but she calmed down gradually and became sober. But she cried and wanted to see you. Although your father had already explained the pros and cons to her and she understood, she still wanted to see you first. You see..."
"What's the big deal? Uncle, don't be so nervous. I was planning to prepare all the supplies for Grandpa's leg treatment today and go there in the evening."
"Okay, okay." Thinking of his own father's legs, Li Xun's expression darkened a little, "I really didn't know that your grandfather's legs had become numb. It's my fault for not taking good care of him."
"Uncle, don't take all the responsibility on yourself. This is not your fault. You have done a good job."
Li Xun clenched his fists and said, "No matter how well we do, there is no way for our Li family to get rid of the identity of criminals and return to Kyoto openly."
"Uncle, why are you so anxious? We have come this far after all these years, so why not wait a little longer? I have already written a letter, and I will tell you as soon as I get any news. But right now, your niece is quite confused about something."
"what?"
"It's the regent. What do you think he is doing in Xiangyun City? Except for the first day, Lin Haisheng saw him once and didn't see him again for the next two days. He said he wanted to rest and not let anyone disturb him. Lin Haisheng, a mere lord of Xiangyun City, has no weight at all and was sent away by his guards with just a few words." Li Mulan asked Qingyu and Huo Yuanruo to go to the city lord's mansion, but they both returned empty-handed and didn't get any news.
Li Xun's eyes were deep, "Lan'er, are you saying that the Regent King has stayed indoors since he came to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Yes, I am confused. It is not easy to come to Mobei. After all the trouble, what can you do at home?"
"I think this might be just a cover-up."
"What do you mean?" Li Mulan suddenly realized, "Second Uncle is saying that, on the surface, he is staying at the City Lord's Mansion, but that is just for show to those who are interested. In fact, he may have already left?"
"I don't know whether he left or not. Although I don't know as much about him as your grandfather does, the regent I know is not a man who is content with what he has to do, and he often does things that are unexpected."
"Knock knock," the crisp knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"Master Junior, breakfast is here. I'm open the door." Huo Yuanruo was holding a large bowl of chicken noodle soup, followed by a waiter carrying a tray.
The waiter placed the breakfast on the table one by one, then closed the door and left.
Huo Yuanruo put down the chicken noodle soup and sat directly next to Li Mulan, "Let's have breakfast."
Li Mulan gave him a look of disdain, "Why did you come in? Let's go out and eat."
"No, Sister Qingyu is not here, and Xiaojie has gone to his uncle's place. I don't want to eat alone."
Li Xun smiled and said, "Let's eat together. I haven't had such a sumptuous breakfast for many years."
