Why couldn't Li Yueling understand the meaning of Mu Yun'an's words? She lowered her eyes and said: "The princess is right, a good relationship is naturally best when two people are happy, you can't force it.
But how many women in this world are as lucky as you, princess, to be able to find someone who is of the same mind as you?
Ordinary women are ordered by their parents to be a matchmaker, and there are some things where they have no choice at all."
Mu Yun'an nodded: "Others don't have a choice, but Miss Li, you can choose."
Li Yueling looked at her with a dazed expression. Did she really have a choice?
Mu Yun'an smiled slightly, looked into her eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "You spread the rumors, right? It was your plan to jump into the lake just now. Do you really want to marry Prince Jing?"
Li Yueling seemed to be trapped by something, and nodded dully: "Yes"
When Yuan Jiahe heard her admission, his eyes widened in shock and he could not recover.
Then Mu Yun'an asked again: "Do you want to marry Prince Jing? Is it because you love him or because of his noble status?"
Li Yueling replied: "Because he respects his status."
Yuan Jiahe's expression changed after hearing these words, and a burst of anger suddenly emerged. She was about to speak, but she saw Mu Yun'an making a silent gesture, signaling her not to speak.
Mu Yun'an continued to ask: "Is there any reason?"
Li Yueling's eyes darkened: "I just don't want to be bullied anymore. I want to get ahead and make my family proud of me."
Mu Yun'an raised his eyebrows: "Even if your life is unhappy, are you willing? Just for those vanities, are you willing to gamble your life?"
Li Yueling nodded: "Yes."
When Mu Yun'an heard that her answer was a bit difficult to explain, she snapped her fingers, and Li Yueling suddenly woke up from her trance.
She blinked her eyes and looked a little confused. She didn't know what happened just now?
Mu Yun'an said: "I already know what Miss Li means. You were frightened today. I'll send someone to take you back first. As for what happens today, we will make the decision for you."
Li Yueling thanked her, bowed her knees and bowed, then turned and walked out.
When Yuan Jiahe saw her walking away, he curiously asked: "What happened to her just now? Was she possessed by an evil spirit?"
Li Yueling has just admitted in person that she plotted against her brother. Isn't she afraid that they will punish her?
Mu Yun'an said: "I just learned this soul-stirring technique from a master in southern Xinjiang. What Li Yueling just said is what she really thinks."
Yuan Jiahe was amazed, as if he didn't expect Mu Yun'an to have such abilities.
She said: "She admitted that she wanted to marry my brother because of his powerful position. Why didn't you expose her?"
Mu Yun'an said: "How to expose it? Let her admit it in person in front of the noble ladies of the capital?
That is no different from killing her. There is nothing wrong with her clinging to the powerful. There are many noble ladies in the capital who think like her."
Yuan Jiahe said: "There are many people out there, but no one is as bold as her and uses such despicable means to plot against my brother."
Mu Yun'an pulled her to sit down and said, "Don't worry. No matter how you say it, Li Yueling has made contributions to the court. We can't be merciless. Since she is for power, we just need to let her give up."
Yuan Jiahe asked: "What do you mean?"
Mu Yun'an raised her eyebrows: "It means..." She said with a hint of mystery at the end: "The secret must not be leaked."
Yuan Jiahe frowned and snorted: "You are really looking more and more like Xiao Chengyi now. As expected, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black."
Mu Yun'an stuck out her tongue at him: "I like it, don't you?"
After saying that, he stood up and said: "The palace banquet is about to begin, let's go."
