"Your Highness, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has arrived and said she wants to see you."
The steward of the front hall walked into the hall, bowed and reported in a low voice.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment and asked in astonishment: "How could it be her?"
Li Yuanji originally thought that Li Jiancheng would send veteran ministers like Pei Ju and Li Gang to see him, but he did not expect that Li Jiancheng sent Zheng Guanyin.
This made Li Yuanji a little unexpected.
Immediately, he told the steward of the front hall: "Please invite my sister-in-law to come here to talk."
The steward of the front hall agreed and exited the hall.
After the steward of the front hall left, Li Yuanji said to Xue Wanshu's confused look: "Don't you want to know who Li Yi gave Youyun to ride to? They are here, you can see for yourself."
Xue Wanshu didn't even need to look at it. He judged the answer he wanted just based on the identity of the person coming. He said with a look of disbelief: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, gave You Yunqi to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Li Yuanji nodded slowly and said: "Not bad."
Xue Wanshu said with a gloomy expression: "Your Highness, are you... still determined to give up?"
Li Yuanji said funny: "I told Ling Jing before that there are only zero and countless assassinations. Now I will tell you the same thing."
Xue Wanshu let out a long breath and said: "So, His Royal Highness will never give up until he achieves his goal?"
Li Yuanji nodded.
Xue Wanshu pondered: "Then how should we deal with it?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said, "Just wait and see what happens. When I need you, I will send someone to tell you."
Xue Wanshu nodded solemnly and said nothing.
Although Li Yi gave You Yunqi to Li Jiancheng, which made him feel incredible, it was nothing compared to what Li Jiancheng wanted to do with You Yunqi.
He no longer had the time to worry about why Li Yi gave Li Jiancheng, the trump card of Youyunqi that had been hidden for many years, nor the purpose of Li Yi's doing so.
He just wanted to know what Li Jiancheng wanted to do with Youyunqi and what arrangements he would make.
If Li Jiancheng might use Youyunqi to harm Li Yuanji, or raid Jiulongtan, then he and his brothers would have to be prepared at all times.
Since their brothers have followed Li Yuanji and gained considerable power and wealth through Li Yuanji, they will not hold back when it is time to fight for Li Yuanji.
"Tomorrow, I will ask my subordinates to come here. I will also ask Wan Jun and Wan Che to come here to guard the place after their mission. I will also equip Wan Bei with a suit of armor in case of emergency."
After being silent for a long time, Xue Wanshu suddenly spoke and spoke solemnly.
Li Yuanji admired Xue Wanshu's thoughts and actions of protecting his safety when he was in danger, but it was unnecessary.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Didn't I say that they are here for my second brother, not for me, so you don't have to do this."
Xue Wanshu said seriously: "You must be on guard, Your Highness. No one knows whether His Highness the Crown Prince will harm you, so I'd better let my brothers guard you to be safe."
Li Yuanji saw that Xue Wanshu was resolute and showed good intentions. After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's equip Wan Bei with a suit of armor in case of emergency.
As for the rest, forget it.
Didn't you lose to Quan Xu and still have to take care of Quan Xu, Kan Leng and the others?
Your third brother and fourth brother also have work assignments, and I’m afraid it’s already late at night when they go off to work. If they have to run back and forth, they will be overwhelmed.”
Xue Wanshu was anxious and wanted to speak.
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "Their position is very important and cannot cause any trouble, so it's better not to let them go back and forth.
Besides, they are on guard duty in the Forbidden Palace, so they always come to me in the dead of night, which will make people think a lot."
Xue Wanshu said urgently: "But your safety..."
Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about my safety. Not only do I have more than a thousand carefully selected guards here, I'm also guarded by a group of Zuo Wuwei.
If my eldest brother sends someone to cause trouble for me, he must first pass the test of Zuowu Wei and then the test of the guards in my house before he can see me.
After they pass these two levels, the brothers from Tongjun Mansion Camp will probably have received the news and arrived, so you don't have to worry about me."
Xue Wanshu looked hesitant, still a little worried.
Li Yuanji added: "The most important thing we should do now is to lower our sense of existence and let others treat us as if we don't exist. Instead of making some noise and letting others stare at us.
You also know that my eldest brother has seconded Youyunqi from Li Yi.
At this time, it will be very troublesome if you are targeted by my elder brother."
Xue Wanshu was still a little worried, but Li Yuanji insisted on this and insisted on reducing his sense of presence. He could no longer go against Li Yuanji's wishes, so he immediately weighed it up and said: "Then I will discuss it with Kan Leng and the others, and each will prepare it."
Soldiers in armor, and bring over the tunes from the mansion."
Li Yuanji shook his head and said: "Don't do this. My eldest brother's secondment of Youyunqi was a secret act. My sister-in-law came to see me this time just to shut my mouth.
If you change the tune and make it look like something big is about to happen, it will definitely attract a lot of people's attention, and then my eldest brother will be exposed."
Xue Wanshu stared in shock and said, "His Royal Highness is very likely to take action against you. Do you still care whether he is exposed or not?"
Li Yuanji shook his head again and said: "I don't care whether he is exposed or not. What I care about is the series of troubles he will cause if he is exposed."
Xue Wanshu stared at Li Yuanji in confusion.
What trouble could there be?
After Li Jiancheng is exposed, he will definitely be targeted by Li Shimin.
At that time, he will have no time to trouble you.
Li Yuanji saw the doubts in Xue Wanshu's heart, but did not explain much.
How to say this kind of thing...
Once Li Jiancheng is exposed, the struggle between him and Li Shimin is likely to deviate from the historical track.
This is not a good thing for Li Yuanji.
This means that he cannot use the trajectory of history to calmly deal with this matter and deal with it calmly.
Therefore, he does not want this matter to deviate from the historical trajectory. In this case, he can take advantage of the foresight and seize the opportunity.
But there was no way to tell Xue Wanshu this.
So I can only feel sorry for Xue Wanshu and be a fool for the time being.
Just when the monarch and his ministers temporarily stopped talking, Zheng Guanyin, guided by the steward of the front hall, appeared in the side hall in three steps.
The reason why Zheng Guanyin moves three steps at a time is not just for show.
She has nothing to show off now. When Li Jiancheng asked her to entertain people with sex, she had already lost her face. In front of all the younger brothers and sisters, she no longer had any majesty as a eldest sister-in-law.
Her younger brothers and sisters no longer treated her as respectfully as before.
So the reason why she took one step at a time was because she was pregnant.
It's been two months.
After the imperial doctor made a diagnosis, he said it was a male fetus.
As for how the imperial physician could determine whether a baby was a boy or a girl before the baby was even formed, no one knew.
Maybe it was to ask for more rewards, maybe it was to please the prince.
Anyway, after Zheng Guanyin was diagnosed with a male fetus, Zheng Guanyin finally gained some status in the Taiji Palace and regained some dignity of the Crown Princess.
But these statuses and dignity are very limited.
In the eyes of some people who look down upon her, she is still the person who entertains people with sex.
Moreover, not long after Zheng Guanyin was diagnosed with pregnancy, her eldest grandson was also diagnosed with pregnancy, and it was also a boy.
This made the child in her belly look less glorious.
After all, she gave birth to two children and was pregnant with one, but only one of them is still alive and kicking. Her eldest grandson gave birth to three children and was pregnant with one, and now there are three of them who are still alive and kicking.
When it comes to having children and spreading the branches of the Li family, her eldest grandson is firmly in her way.
Although many people have begun not to regard Zheng Guanyin as a princess and do not care about her dignity and majesty, Li Yuanji still gave Zheng Guanyin enough dignity.
When Zheng Guanyin appeared at the door of the side hall, Li Yuanji and Xue Wanshu took the initiative to greet him, and then invited Zheng Guanyin to sit on the upper seat.
After Zheng Guanyin sat down on the seat, her eyes were a little red. After brewing her emotions for a while, she sincerely sighed, "Now, you are the only one who still regards me as your sister-in-law."
Li Yuanji couldn't see a woman crying, especially since this woman was still his sister-in-law in name only, so he couldn't help but comfort him, "You are my sister-in-law, why should I treat you as my sister-in-law."
When Zheng Guanyin heard this, she was a little moved, tears welling up in her eyes, "Now, among you brothers, you are the only one who still thinks of me as your eldest sister-in-law."
Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "Does any of our brothers disrespect my sister-in-law? Just tell me, and I will ask him if the book has been read into the dog's belly."
Of course, this is just a scene.
Zheng Guanyin also knew that this was a scene, and refused with tears in her eyes: "You can help my sister-in-law to complain, she is already very happy. This shows that when you were young, your sister-in-law did not hurt you in vain.
But, no need, my sister-in-law has a man. If my sister-in-law is wronged, her man must seek justice for her."
Zheng Guanyin said this with a smile, but the sadness in it could be clearly felt by Li Yuanji even from a foot away.
This was caused by Zheng Guanyin's own family affairs.
Even if Li Yuanji felt that Li Jiancheng was using his wife to achieve political goals and later despised his wife and treated her badly and was very tasteless, it was hard to say anything.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I came here this time because of the entrustment of your elder brother, and I want to ask you to make it easier for me."
Zheng Guanyin didn't know whether she was sad enough or didn't want to show too much sadness in front of outsiders. In short, she put away the tears in her eyes and spoke in a free and easy tone.
Li Yuanji didn't want to bully a woman who was about to cry. He said happily: "Brother, if you need me to help you, just ask my sister-in-law. If it's not too much, for the sake of my sister-in-law, I can agree."
