Li Hongyuan frowned: "Jiang Ning, I know you are very smart, but you also have fatal flaws. If you are too emotional, it will drag you down."

"Are you trying to tell me that you are ruthless?" Jiang Ning asked back.

"People have to learn to weigh the gains and losses and the pros and cons."

"I know." Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, "But I just don't want to. You have your principles, and I have my bottom line. Just don't try to convince anyone."

"good."

Li Hongyuan stood with his hands behind his back, "Go back, rest early, and prepare well, and prepare to meet the envoys of Silla tomorrow."

"It's Li You." Jiang Ning squinted at him, "Li Hongyuan, if I were you, do you know what I would do?"

"You are not me." Li Hongyuan said indifferently, "I also want to kill Mu Jian, avenge my mother, and avoid future troubles. But Mu Jian is not the ultimate murderer. If you kill him, how can you trip up the real murderer?"

"ridiculous."

"What do you want to say?"

"The murderer is the empress, you and I both know that. If we want to deal with her, do we have to point Mu Jian in front of the emperor?"

"Need. She is the queen. Without evidence, no one can touch her."

"Admit it, you saved Mu Jian's life, not to identify the queen at all. You are to exchange for Li You, to fulfill your image as a good son and a virtuous prince in the eyes of the emperor and all officials."

Li Hongyuan said indifferently: "You are not me, how can you know my thoughts."

"Conjecture based on facts."

"Oh?" Li Hongyuan looked up at her, "Let's listen."

"Now in the court, you, Li Hongyuan, are the prince and supervisor of the country. It can be said that your position is becoming more and more stable. The remaining princes are either disabled or young, and they are completely incapable of competing with you. As long as you sit in that position and deal with the former enemies , do you need anyone's accusation?"

"She is a queen, and in the future, she will be a legitimate empress dowager, not just anyone."

"With His Highness's intelligence, it is still possible."

Li Hongyuan smiled.

Jiang Ning said: "Before you leave, let me seriously persuade you to kill Mu Jian. Why do you have troubles for yourself in order to gain a good reputation? It is a good thing for you if you can't get Li You back. If the emperor is angry again, he can still kill you." killed?"

"Father won't kill me, but you can abolish me. Jiang Ning, I find that you despise the imperial power." Li Hongyuan said calmly, "In your eyes, father is just an ordinary kind father, isn't it?"

Jiang Ning really despised the imperial power, and didn't pay attention to the emperor and princes at all.

However, that has nothing to do with how she thinks of the emperor.

She knew that the emperor was not a kind and harmless old man at all.

It's just that she is a modern person who came from time travel, and it is impossible to really submit to anyone and treat herself as a slave in her bones.

Jiang Ning thought she was covering it up very well, but she didn't expect that Li Hongyuan had already noticed it.

She restrained her mind and said with a gentle smile: "Your Highness is worrying too much, I'm just worried. After all, the Jiang family is old and young, and they can't stand the toss. Since you have used the Jiang family to get the result you want, you have to do it for Jiang. Think about it at home."

"You think too much. I didn't use the Jiang family. Everything was planned by you and Jiang Xiang. At that time, I asked you to put Mu Jian back, but you refused, remember?" Li Hongyuan asked softly.

Jiang Ning sneered angrily: "You ordered me to let Mu Jian go, and at the same time you ran to Mu Jian's house in night clothes to search for evidence, and kept saying that the Jiang family and Mu Jian colluded. Don't you force the Jiang family to Prove your innocence?"
