Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Li Liao asked seriously.

"Who told you that Ah Ji is the illegitimate son of a saint?"

Hua Manman resentfully said: "Many people say that."

Li Liao sneered, "What nonsense! The princess and I have a deep relationship, how could she have an affair with a saint?"

Hua Manman still feels something is wrong.

If Li Ji was not the emperor's illegitimate son, why did the emperor have such an attitude towards Li Ji?

Even if the emperor intends to suppress Li Ji, when outsiders attack Li Ji, the emperor will not hesitate to defend Li Ji.

It felt like—

I can discipline my son myself, but no one else can intervene.

"Don't let me catch that person spreading rumors, or I'll have to cut off that person's tongue!" Li Liao said this, and he punched hard, hitting the tree trunk next to him hard.

Then a clicking sound was heard.

The trunk broke away from where it was hit and fell to the ground with a crash.

Hua Manman was taken aback.

Even the horse, which was grazing quietly, was frightened and took two steps aside.

There was quite a commotion here, which attracted the attention of others.

Li Ji strode towards this side.

He didn't even look at Li Liao, he just took Man Man's hand and walked away without looking back.

Li Ji was born with tall legs and long legs, one step is worth Hua Manman's two steps.

She was almost trotting and was dragged forward by Li Ji.

When he got near the carriage, Hua Manman hurriedly reached out and grabbed the shaft of the carriage, shrinking back vigorously.

"You let me go!"

Li Ji stopped and looked back at her: "Didn't you say you went to wash fruit by the river with Yueniang?"

Hua Manman avoided his sight and argued.

"I went to the river. I happened to see your father nearby, so I went over to say hello to him. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Li Ji: "What did you talk about just now?"

Huamanman's eyes fluttered around.

"Nothing to talk about."

Li Ji pinched her chin, forced her face to face him, and forced her to meet his eyes.

"to be frank!"

Hua Manman knew that he could read minds, so she couldn't lie in this situation.

She can only tell the truth.

"I just want to know why you guys are arguing! He told me something about you, saying that you are the nephew of today's saint..."

When Hua Manman said this, he couldn't help but pause.

She began to snap her fingers to alienate the relationship between them.

"If you are the saint's nephew, then wouldn't the Duke of the State be the elder brother of the saint? But the Duke of the State does not look like the saint at all. Could it be that they are half-brothers who have been separated for many years?"

What kind of mess is this? !

Li Ji couldn't listen anymore, and said with a somber face.

"It's not what you think."

Hua Manman asked, "What was that like?"

Li Ji: "Do you really want to know?"

Hua Manman nodded vigorously.

"Such an important matter, of course I have to know!"

Li Ji pulled her into the carriage and closed the doors and windows smoothly.

It was just the two of them in the car.

Li Ji leaned into her ear, and whispered about his life experience in a low voice.

The more Hua Manman listened, the more amazed she became, her small mouth grew bigger and bigger, and in the end her jaw almost fell to the ground.

Li Ji reached out to support her chin and reminded her.

"Close your mouth quickly, and watch out for the halazi to fall."

Hua Manman patted his hand away, and said angrily: "What time is it, what do you care about? You ask you, if you are really the son of the former prince Li Shu, then what about Empress Ji who originally lived in Chaoyang Palace?" Isn't that your real grandmother?"

Li Ji nodded: "Yes."

There have always been rumors that Chaoyang Palace is haunted by ghosts, because Empress Ji set fire to herself in Chaoyang Palace.

Since then, Chaoyang Palace has been blocked and reduced to a complete cold palace, no one dares to set foot again.

It wasn't until Wu Zhang Wang Li Ying took power that he ordered people to renovate the Chaoyang Palace, which made it gain some popularity again.

Hua Manman still lived there for a while.

Later, she was forced to hide in the secret passage of Chaoyang Palace, where she saw the portrait of Empress Ji.

Thinking of this, Hua Manman couldn't help but grabbed Li Ji's arm and asked nervously.

"After I died, how did you dispose of my belongings?"

Li Ji replied truthfully: "It's all put away."

Hua Manman: "Did you see a token among my relics?"

She gestured twice with her fingers.

"It's about this big, it's made of metal, and the word Xuanjia is engraved on it."

She once found a token in the hidden compartment of Chaoyang Palace. Originally, she wanted Li Ji to take a look and see if she could find the real owner of the token, but then too many things happened, so she forgot about it. up.

Now that I think about it, the Xuanjia Token is obviously the relic of Empress Ji.

As the only descendant of Empress Ji, Li Ji should inherit the inheritance left by Empress Ji.

Li Ji recalled carefully.

"When I returned the relics to you, I did see such a token."

He didn't know what the token was for, so he just glanced at it and threw it back into the box, never touching it again.

Hua Manman: "It's Queen Ji's stuff, it must be of great use. When you return to Tianjing, you must find out the Xuanjia Token."

Having said that, she slapped her forehead angrily.

"I should have asked your father just now. He used to be the crown prince's confidant. He must know what the Xuanjia Token is for?"

Li Ji frowned: "You don't want to associate with him again."

Hua Manman glanced at him, seeing the coldness in his eyes, she knew he was still angry.

She leaned over and hugged his waist, leaned her face against his chest, and comforted him softly.

"I know that you are angry because you were deceived. This is normal. I would definitely be angry if it were you, but the most important thing right now is to return to Tianjing as soon as possible to find Goudan. You and your father..."

Li Ji interrupted her: "He is no longer my father."

Hua Manman had no choice but to change his words.

"Let's put the grievances between you and the Duke aside for now. After all the problems are resolved, you can slowly resolve your personal grievances, how about it?"

Li Ji put his palm against her waist and rubbed it carefully, and said in a deep voice.

"Even if I'm willing to temporarily put aside my grievances, he won't necessarily let me go."

Hua Manman looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

Li Ji: "Duke Zhen has concealed the secret for so many years, and he suddenly chooses to tell me at this time. It must not be a coincidence. I always feel that he has other plans."

With a bitter face, Hua Manman complained angrily.

"These crap things are really endless!"

Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life? !

Li Ji held her in his arms and smiled lightly.

"I've always come here like this, and I'm used to it. Fortunately, I have you now, otherwise I don't know how to survive?"
