Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

After sending Hua Manman away, Li Ji said something indifferent to Li Liao.

"Let's go."

Li Liao followed him into the Regent's Palace.

Li Xun ran out, his eyes turned around, but he didn't see his mother, so he hurriedly asked.

"Where's my mother?"

Li Ji responded casually: "Your mother has something to do, so she won't be back until later."

Hearing this, Li Xun's little head drooped immediately, very disappointed: "Oh."

Since mother is not here, Li Xun doesn't want to stay here any longer, so he turned his head and ran away.

Li Liao watched the child go away, and sighed involuntarily.

"He really looks like you when you were a kid."

Li Ji let out a sneer from his nasal cavity, heh!

Gao Shan ordered someone to serve hot tea.

Li Liao asked, "Is there any wine?"

Gao Shan first glanced at the Prince Regent, and seeing that the Prince had no objection, he responded: "Yes."

After a while, Gao Shan brought a jug of hot wine, and several plates of side dishes to accompany the wine.

Among them was a plate of balsamic peanuts.

Li Liao picked up a round and plump peanut kernel with his chopsticks.

He didn't eat it, but looked at the peanut kernels with a look of nostalgia.

"Do you still remember that we used to hold peanuts in a competition? Use chopsticks to hold peanuts and see who can hold them fast and more. At that time, you just learned to hold chopsticks, but you couldn't hold peanuts every time, but you were competitive. If you can't hold it, you have to hold it more, and you almost cry yourself in the end..."

Li Ji interrupted his memory and said indifferently.

"I've forgotten all these things."

Li Liao was stunned: "Have you forgotten?"

Li Ji looked at him coldly and reminded, "You are no longer my father."

Hearing this, Li Liao laughed at himself: "Yes, after being your father for so many years, I almost forgot that you are not my own son. I have done so many fake plays that I unconsciously took it seriously."

At the end, he let go of his chopsticks and let the peanuts fall back into the plate.

Li Ji: "Can I ask you something?"

Li Liao picked up the wine glass, and raised his eyes to look at the other party when he heard the words.

"What is it?"

Li Ji: "About Princess Rouwan being defiled by the late emperor, do you really know nothing about it?"

Li Liao's hands trembled, and some of the wine in his glass spilled out.

...

The town government.

Princess Rouwan was sitting blankly in the gazebo.

On the low table in front of her, there is a book of Heli.

It was written to her by Li Liao just now, and the ink on it was not completely dry yet.

The breeze blew, and the thin He Lishu was blown up.

It circled several times in mid-air, and finally landed lightly on the steps.

Princess Rouwan was about to get up to pick it up, when she saw a pair of embroidered shoes inlaid with pearls stopped in front of the steps.

She looked up and saw Hua Manman standing quietly outside the gazebo.

Princess Rouwan's eyes widened a little bit, and she let out a low voice in disbelief.

"Long Man!"

Hua Manman bent down to pick up and leave the book, and walked into the gazebo.

"Princess, long time no see."

Princess Rouwan supported the low table and stood up, looked at the woman in front of her without blinking, and murmured.

"Manman, is that really you?"

Hua Manman spread out his hands and turned around in front of her.

"Of course it is me."

Princess Rouwan felt like she was dreaming: "But you, aren't you already dead?"

Then she remembered the woman she had seen in the inn outside the city.

The woman claimed that she was Hua Manman and told many things that only she and Manman knew.

After going back and forth like this, she really became more and more confused.

Hua Manman supported her to sit back and explained softly.

"Actually, I have never died. When I saw you in the inn outside the city, I used the disguise technique to change my appearance. Now that the problem is solved, I changed back to my original appearance."

It was too troublesome to explain the details of bringing the dead back to life and changing bodies.

The reason for using the Disguise Technique is simpler and clearer.

Princess Rouwan came to a sudden: "So that's how it is."

Hua Manman glanced at the Heli book in his hand, it was written clearly——

The Duke of Zhen, Li Liao, is ashamed of Princess Rouwan, and now writes a letter of reconciliation, letting Princess Rouwan be free, and the two will return from bridge to bridge, and their weddings and funerals have nothing to do with each other.

Among them, all the properties under the name of the government of the town are all owned by Princess Rouwan.

This is tantamount to letting Li Liao leave the house.

Hua Manman didn't understand: "Why did you break up suddenly after being so good?"

Princess Rouwan looked at the calm lake, and was silent for a long time before opening her mouth.

"He lied to me."

Hualong quietly waited for the next article.

After a while, Princess Rouwan continued to speak.

"Obviously my son was already dead, but he deliberately concealed the truth and replaced my son with someone else's child.

Obviously he didn't die at all, but he didn't even send me any news for so many years.

I was like a fool, waiting for him to come back at home.

I even took my anger out on Li Ji for this.

Li Liao, he... what does he think of me? "

At the end, she raised her hand to cover her eyes, bit her lower lip, and tried her best not to cry out.

Hua Manman didn't know what to say, so he could only keep quiet.

After a while, Princess Rouwan's mood calmed down a little.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and laughed at herself: "I really love him. When I learned that he died in the battle, I wished I could follow him, but how did he treat me? He kept deceiving me."

In fact, the moment she saw Li Liao, she knew she had been cheated.

But at that time, the two armies were at war, and people were dying every day in the army.

In the face of life and death, those loves and hatreds are too small to be worth mentioning.

Both Princess Rouwan and Li Liao tacitly chose not to mention the past.

Until now, after the war is over and everything subsides, Princess Rouwan can finally ask that sentence in front of Li Liao——

"How much have you lied to me?"

The answer left her heartbroken and hopeless.

Princess Rouwan looked at Hua Manman with teary eyes, and said with a sob.

"Up to now, I don't know which of his words is true and which is false? I don't even know if he really loved me?"

Hua Manman sighed softly.

It is undeniable that Li Liao is a loyal minister and general with great affection and commitment. He fulfilled his promise to the princess and helped the prince Li Shu to get justice. However, as a husband and father, he is a complete failure.

Inside the Regent's Palace.

Li Ji looked at Li Liao who was pale in front of him, and said slowly.

"In order to expose the truth and restore the innocence of my biological parents, you did not hesitate to hide your name and plan secretly for so many years.

You've figured it all out.

Then can I doubt that you even counted on the emperor's insult to Princess Rouwan back then?

Even this is a link in your chess game. "
