Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Due to the distance, Hua Manman could only see Li Liao and Li Ji fighting, but could not hear what they said.

When Li Liao turned to leave, Li Ji suddenly called out to him.

Hua Manman was startled suddenly.

That person wearing a black mask and claiming to be a general is actually Zhen Guogong? !

But isn't Duke Zhen already dead? How could it be alive again?

But then Hua Manman thought of herself again.

Not only did she come back from the dead, she also traveled through time.

So many outrageous things have happened to her, so what's the surprise even if someone else came back from the dead?

Li Liao rode back to the team and gave an order.

"Walk!"

Five hundred men and horses moved after hearing the sound.

With the sound of hoofbeats, they turned and left the hillside.

Hua Manman tried his best to stick his head out of the window and looked back.

The carriage was moving so fast that she couldn't see the person she wanted to see.

After a long day's journey, I stopped to rest at night.

Ah Yi brought dry food and water to Hua Manman.

Hua Manman didn't touch the food, but said to Ah Yi.

"I want to see the general."

Ah Yi relayed her words to Li Liao.

Soon Li Liao bent down and got into the carriage.

He was sitting opposite Hua Manman, with a straight posture, the black mask on his face had been taken off, revealing the three-dimensional handsome figure.

Hua Manman looked at his facial features, in all fairness, he and Li Ji don't really look alike.

In contrast, Li Ji looks more like the current emperor.

No wonder so many people suspect that Li Ji is the emperor's illegitimate son.

Li Liao pushed the bamboo basket containing food and water towards her.

"Eat it, there is no poison in these things."

He behaved very calmly, and he really didn't look like a kidnapper.

Hua Manman asked straight to the point: "Are you the Duke of Zhen?"

Li Liao didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.

Hua Manman: "If you don't speak, I will take it as your default."

Li Liao: "These have nothing to do with you."

Hua Manman involuntarily emphasized his tone.

"But these have something to do with Li Ji!"

Li Liao responded calmly: "But you are not Li Ji, you have no right to meddle in our housework."

His attitude angered Hua Manman.

She clenched her hands into fists and said while suppressing her anger.

"Don't forget, your plan still needs my cooperation. We are partners now. If you don't want any mistakes in the plan, please don't talk to me with this attitude."

These words finally made Li Liao willing to look her in the eye.

"You seem to be very concerned about our family affairs, why?"

Hua Manman: "I am Li Ji's first wife and Goudan's mother. They and I are a family. I care about everything about them."

Li Liao asked out the doubts that were suppressed in his heart.

"I remember that Goudan's mother is the princess regent. Didn't she die a long time ago?"

Hua Manman asked back: "You can come back from the dead, why can't I?"

Li Liao was startled, then laughed lowly.

"You're right, my vision is too narrow."

he asked again.

"But you told me before that you and you live in seclusion in the mountains, and you just came out of the mountains recently."

The lie was exposed, and Hua Manman, the person involved, was not at all embarrassed, but admitted it generously.

"The seclusion and going out of the mountains are all made up by me, but the things that got hurt later are all true."

Li Liao smiled again, teaching in the tone of an elder.

"Telling lies is not a good habit."

Hua Manman does not regret lying. In that case, she is not sure whether the other party is an enemy or a friend. Just in case, she naturally tries her best to hide her real information.

But she also knew the truth that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so she didn't argue with the other party, and answered honestly.

"I won't in the future."

The elders prefer obedient and sensible children, and Li Liao is no exception.

He looked at Hua Manman with a milder gaze.

"Don't worry, for the sake of being a mother-in-law, I will do my best to ensure your safety. When the matter is over, you can reunite as a family."

This is Ah Yi walking to the side of the carriage, respectfully speaking.

"General, the person in charge of the sentry just now reported that the regent has been leading people behind us."

Hearing the word Regent, Hua Manman's ears immediately perked up.

Li Liao replied indifferently: "Let him go, don't worry about him."

"Here."

Li Liao noticed Hua Manman's small movements, and said quietly: "Li Ji should be worried about you, he cares about you very much."

Hua Manman nodded solemnly: "I know."

The tips of the ears were a little red.

It's one thing for her to know this kind of thing in her heart, but it's another thing to be pointed out in person.

Especially the person who said this was Li Ji's father, which made her feel even more embarrassed.

Immediately afterwards, she heard Li Liao add a sentence.

"The love of children will kill him."

Hua Manman couldn't bear it any longer, and the barbaric attribute in her body was activated all of a sudden.

She retorted.

"What does it mean that the love of children will harm him?

As long as you are human, you will have the seven emotions and six desires.

No matter how capable Li Ji is, he is still a mortal body, how could he escape from the world of mortals?

Besides, if there is no love between me and him, how can we give birth to such a cute dog egg? ! "

Li Liao was stunned.

He probably hasn't been bullied like this for a long time, and he's not used to it.

It took him a while to think of words.

"Of course he can have emotions and desires.

But when facing the family, country and world, those emotions and desires have to lean back, otherwise he has to make mistakes.

Ordinary people make mistakes and hurt the people around them.

But he is different, he occupies a high position, and if he makes a mistake, he will implicate the people all over the world. "

Hua Manman: "He won't be the regent for the rest of his life. When the crown prince grows up and can take care of the government affairs himself, he won't have to worry about those messy things in the court. The three of us can go wherever we want. Play!"

Li Liao smiled.

There was an indescribably complex meaning in that smile.

"Yeah, he won't be the regent for the rest of his life."

When the smile gradually faded, he asked again.

"You called me here on purpose just to tell me this?"

Hua Manman said seriously: "I want to make a deal with you."

Li Liao: "Let's listen."

"I can help you assassinate Lu Kai and quell the civil strife in Longdong County, but you have to promise me to sit down and have an open and honest talk with Li Ji."

They are father and son, even though Li Ji may not be Li Liao's own son, but the affection for so many years is still there, and Li Ji still respects and loves Li Liao's father very much in his heart.

Hua Manman hopes that they can communicate well and explain clearly the contradictions accumulated over the years.

Li Liao took a deep look at her and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"A Ji did marry a good wife."

Hua Manman was indifferent to his praise and was still quietly waiting for his reply.

It took a long time to hear him sigh softly.

"I'll talk to him when the time comes."
