Cypress Boat Floating

Li Muqian has been behaving herself ever since she was warned by the prince last time. During this period of free time, she has been able to appease the prince with her charm. After all, the emperor has never had any attitude towards the fundraising matter, and he has not said whether Lu Zhixing is good or bad. His attitude towards the two of them remains the same, which has made the prince gradually forget about it.

In addition, there have been several cases in the capital recently. Although this case is not handled by the prince, the prince is also busy helping to handle it in order to demonstrate his ability and win the hearts of the people.

Whenever the prince was busy, Li Muqian would take advantage of the situation and use all her abilities on the prince, making him feel so relaxed and happy that he would often stay in her tent.

She thought that the days would just pass by slowly like this, but today, she suddenly received a letter from her father, asking to have a chat with her.

Li Muqian hesitated for a moment after receiving the letter. She didn't think there was anything to talk about with Li Zhizhong.

You have to know that Li Muqian had never received any love from Li Zhizhong in the Li family before she got married. The children born to the first wife would often bully her. She and her mother had the lowest status in the mansion.

If it weren't for the fact that I became the Crown Prince's concubine based on my own abilities and brought enough honor and status to the Li family, I wouldn't have been praised to the sky by them.

But Li Muqian herself knows very well that these people are fence-sitters. They see you are so proud today and praise you so much in front of you, but if one day, she fails to win the favor of the prince, the first one to abandon her will be the so-called in-laws.

Both sides are just using each other.

The Li family needs her identity so that they can act tyrannically and have a higher status. She also needs the Li family to consolidate her position in the prince's heart.

Li Zhizhong, the father who never looked at her straight in the eye before or after her marriage, suddenly had the idea to write a letter to invite her back. Li Muqian knew that this trip was not a good thing, but she could not completely break up with the Li family at the moment. She had not improved the prince's opinion of her before, so she had to wait a little longer. Now she could only bite the bullet and go back.

"Father." Even though she was now the prince's concubine, she was still the one who had to bow to Li Zhizhong when she saw him in the Li Mansion. Originally, Li Zhizhong should have bowed to Li Muqian, but Li Zhizhong always regarded himself as the head of the family and did not allow anyone to be presumptuous in front of him, even Li Muqian, who had become the prince's concubine.

"Qian'er, how are you and the prince doing lately?" Li Zhizhong did not just say a few perfunctory words as usual, but instead took her aside and started chatting about family matters.

Although Li Muqian was puzzled, she suppressed her emotions and answered honestly: "It is still the same as before. The Crown Prince is busy with affairs and is often not in the palace. Your daughter will do her best to take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Then..." Li Zhizhong glanced at her flat belly and said embarrassedly: "Why is there no movement after so long?"

Speaking of this, Li Muqian felt a little sad again. She had always wanted to be pregnant with the prince's child. If she was pregnant, it would matter how capable Lin Youqian was. It was a pity that she just couldn't get pregnant for some reason.

Seeing Li Muqian like this, Li Zhizhong also sighed.

"Father, is there something important that made you ask me to go home today?" Li Muqian knew the father in front of her too well. He definitely didn't ask her to go home for no reason, and it was definitely not to chat about these things.

"Qian'er, father has only one son, Bo Ming, and he is also your younger brother. He has been good to you since you were a child. Now that he is in trouble, you have to help him." Li Zhizhong took Li Muqian's hand and said to her as if it was a matter of course.

Sure enough, Li Muqian snorted inwardly, thinking that no one would come to the temple for no reason. She knew that her father's sudden request to ask her to come back must be for no good reason.

It's not bad to say that Li Boming treated me well since I was a child. Is it good to pour cold water on me in the middle of winter? Is it good to throw my food on the ground and let me eat it? Is it good to come and bully me from time to time when he has nothing to do?

Father, oh father, your eyes can only see the children of your first wife, right?

Although she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, she still pretended to be worried. "What happened to my brother?"

"Your brother did something stupid, and now he has been arrested by the King of Qin and taken to the Dali Temple."

Although the person in front of him was his daughter, Li Zhizhong still wanted to save some face for Li Boming. He didn't want the whole city to know about Li Boming's affair. But he didn't know that just because he didn't say it didn't mean that others wouldn't say it. The more he didn't want others to know, the more people would spread it everywhere.

"So, what does father want his daughter to do?" Li Muqian lowered her eyes and looked at her delicate nails. She was now the prince's concubine. It was Li Zhizhong's business what he wanted her to do, and it was her own business whether to do it or not.

Li Boming is a rotten person to the core. Even without Li Zhizhong telling him, Li Muqian knew that he must have done something very wrong to alarm Lu Zhixing.

You know, although Lu Zhixing controls the Dali Temple, he doesn't need to intervene in every case. And Li Muqian has heard some rumors about the case he is investigating recently, which seems to be a female corpse that suddenly appeared in the city.

It seems that this female corpse is closely related to Li Boming.

"Qian'er, go and plead with the prince to help spare Bo Ming's life. The King of Qin will certainly spare Bo Ming's life for the sake of the prince's face." Li Zhizhong still remembered to put on the airs of a father. He felt that Li Muqian was his daughter and should listen to him.

Li Muqian kept laughing in her heart. It seemed that her father was still confused and couldn't see through things.

"Okay, my daughter will talk to the prince when she returns to the palace." Li Muqian still agreed, but she would never plead with the prince for mercy. Not only that, she would also ask the prince to execute Li Boming by slow slicing, the more severe the punishment, the better.

The more Li Zhizhong wanted to keep his son, the more she wanted to destroy him.

"Okay, okay, then Qian'er, please go back quickly." Li Muqian agreed, and Li Zhizhong was eager to let her go to find the prince immediately. If it was later, he was afraid that Li Boming would not be able to bear it in the Dali Temple. He now tried every means to save Li Boming.

"Then my daughter will take her leave." Li Muqian didn't want to stay here for even a second.

When she stepped out of the gate of Li Mansion, she looked at the plaque on the gate of Li Mansion, the place where she had lived all her life. This place had brought her a lot of humiliation and harm, but it could not be denied that her current status was also thanks to this place.

If she wasn't the daughter of the Minister of Rites, she wouldn't even be able to get close to the Crown Prince.

Now, Li Boming has personally destroyed everything that this plaque brought. In this case, why not just destroy it completely? A hint of madness flashed in Li Muqian's eyes.

She no longer cared whether she would be abandoned by the prince after the Li Mansion was destroyed. All this was no longer important to her. This opportunity was rare.

Then let’s destroy it together!
