Li Hongyuan stammered, “Why are you staring at me so intently?”

“I was just wondering, what are the chances of you rebelling?”

“…You really do dare to say anything. It’s lucky that it’s me hearing this, or else…”

“Or else what?”

“If it were the Princess Consort of Huai, the Prince of Huai would have slapped her ears off.”

“Let’s see if you dare to slap me.”

“In the past, I could. But not now.”

“Why not?”

“Because I like you.”

“I was asking seriously.”

“Impossible.” Li Hongyuan said, “I will fight for it, but I will not rebel. If I can’t become the Emperor, I’ll be the Prince of Yu.”

“But just after the Prince of Huai took power, he forced you to leave Chang’an City. Once he truly becomes the Emperor, would he let you live?”

“Even if he becomes the Emperor, to kill me, he would need a legitimate reason.”

“Alright, it’s good that you think this way. After all, contentment brings happiness.” Jiang Ning said.

Li Hongyuan said, “On the other hand, you, when I’m not by your side, you’re not allowed to flirt with others.”

“Can’t guarantee that.”

“You…” Li Hongyuan glared at her, “Isn’t Wenren Zong enough? How many more men do you want to love?”

Jiang Ning laughed, “So, you have accepted the fact that I like Wenren Zong?”

Li Hongyuan didn’t reply.

Sanli came over and said, “Master, it’s getting late.”

“I know.”

Li Hongyuan looked back in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Jiang Ning asked, “Before you left, didn’t you go to see your concubine mother?”

“I did. But I didn’t say much.”

“Can the mother-son relationship really be so alienated if there’s no grudge?” Jiang Ning found it hard to believe.

Even if the Emperor used her to replace Lin Zizi, what wrong had Li Hongyuan done?

If you really hate the Emperor, don’t give birth.

You gave birth to a son, enjoyed the benefits brought by having a prince, but you don’t care about this son.

Concubine Jin is quite unique indeed.

“My concubine mother said, wait for a few more years, when the Crown Prince takes the throne and she becomes the Grand Concubine, she will only be able to move to the Imperial Mausoleum to live with me. There’s no need to be anxious, there’s plenty of time.”

Jiang Ning said, “What if the Emperor lives to a hundred? What will happen if he lives beyond you both?”

Li Hongyuan: “…Aunt, could you refrain from saying such things?”

“To tell the truth, when I had dinner with your Emperor Father in the past, I directly criticized the incompetence of the court and the Emperor in front of him, accusing them of letting the people live a tough life.”

“…The Emperor Father might have overlooked it because of your pretty face.”

Jiang Ning smiled.

Li Hongyuan stood up and said, “I should go.”

“Take care.”

“Didn’t you prepare anything for me?”

“Prepare what?”

“What you gave to Wenren Zong.”

“Your Highness, you and your group of attendants are leaving with your carriages filled with your beautiful concubines. Do you still need me to prepare anything?” Jiang Ning felt amused, “Thirteen was walking thousands of miles away in chains. How could you compare yourself to him?”

Li Hongyuan gave a low snort.

He turned and walked towards the carriage.

At this time, Huang Ying came over and whispered, “Princess Consort, the young prince and the princess are crying non-stop. Even the wet nurse can’t soothe them.”

“Is that so? I’ll go back and see.” Jiang Ning turned her wheelchair around.

Li Hongyuan walked to the side of the carriage, turned around, and found she was already gone.

He couldn’t help but feel a little irritated. He took three steps back, grabbed the wheelchair, and made Jiang Ning turn around, “You woman, when you see others off, you gaze longingly.. Why are you so eager to return when you are seeing me off? Even if you have no feelings for me, can’t you just pretend?”
