Li Luo smiled and said nothing, feeling peaceful and peaceful in his heart, but he did not tell his sister that what he just said was not only not a lie, but also more dangerous.

After meeting Li Lianyu, Li Luo went to Wanshou Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother looked good and her body looked strong. At least it was much better than Emperor Wanlong who was obsessed with wine and sex. She was as kind and kind as ever.

, looking at Li Luo and Li Lianyu who were sticking behind Li Luo, his smiling eyes narrowed into slits. One moment he asked Ruyi to make tea, and the other moment he asked Ruyi to bring snacks, melons and fruits as tributes, which made Li very happy.

Lianyu was dissatisfied. He had never seen the Queen Mother so happy when she came here in the past.

Li Luo chatted with the Queen Mother for a while. The Queen Mother asked questions, fearing that Li Luo would suffer outside. Li Luo listened and responded without any impatience. At the end, the Queen Mother talked about some things in the palace intentionally or unintentionally, and her words were obscure.

He gave Li Luo a few words of advice, one of which was to let Li Luo know that Concubine Yun acted too openly, that the concubines in the palace were dissatisfied, and that the chickens and dogs in the harem were restless.

In the eyes of outsiders, for Concubine Yun to have the powerful position she has today, apart from Emperor Wanlong's favor, Li Luo was Concubine Yun's biggest supporter.

The Queen Mother's words meant for Li Luo to warn Concubine Yun. Li Luo neither agreed nor shied away. He seemed to have listened and seemed to have other plans. Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh secretly. After all, she was getting old.

It is impossible to guess the thoughts of the young man who used to have sex with her.

It was still early when she bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and returned to Qiminglou. Yun Wuyan in the Beifu Army was sending messages from time to time. Yinzhou was relatively stable and the war was not fierce. Xiang Liuer already knew that Li Luo was not in the army, but he seemed to have no intention of rushing to make a decision.

Victory or defeat. Yun Wuyan was happy to see this. The soldiers of the two armies who were fighting at each other not long ago actually deliberately restrained themselves a little, and each took a rest and licked his wounds.

After returning to Qiming Tower, the first thing Li Luo did was to meet Yin Mohuai.

At the end of his life, Yin Mohuai's complexion improved, his face had a warmer color, and his originally deep and serious eyebrows became inexplicably softer.

"Have you met the emperor?" Yin Mohuai was wrapped in a thick fur, looking at Li Luo warming tea, enjoying the sunset after snow, warming tea and discussing heroes, it was a unique experience.

"I've seen it before."

"how?"

"It's pretty much what Mr. expected."

"Haha, why should the prince be so modest? What I expected is what the prince expected. It's just that I didn't have so many worries and said these words."

"Is the game planned by sir almost complete?"

"You can start at any time, but..."

"But I am the biggest variable in this game."

Yin Mohuai smiled and said, "The prince is quite self-aware."

"Sir, it would be better to say that I am indecisive."

"Your Majesty's indecisiveness is just that he still has hopes for your Li family. It's human nature."

"When it comes to setting up chess, I'm still one step behind Mr. Li." Li Luo praised sincerely.

"Your Majesty is in the light, and I am in the dark. Your Majesty can see the light, but I cannot see the light. That's it, it's nothing."

"I never thought that one day the Southern Song family would become a pawn in my hand in this game of chess. By now, some people should have guessed that there is a gentleman strategizing behind my back."

"So what if you guessed it? The Song family has a huge appetite for this chess piece. A chess piece that was accidentally and painstakingly laid out turned out to be a wedding dress for others."

"Well, the ambitions of the Song family are indeed not small, and the Song family has never concealed their ambitions in recent years. The Yan Danfeng incident is most likely Song Yayu's test."

"King Nan?" Yin Mohuai smiled faintly and said, "Song Yayu doesn't have the courage to convince the Tang family to take action."

Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "Young master of the Song family?"

"Apart from him, the only one left is Yu Hongyan. The Song family has good calculations, but the Tang family is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. How can a rich and powerful family that has been in power for hundreds of years serve as a pawn for others in vain."

"But based on the talents of Song Wuque and Yu Hongyan, they can smell something."

"It doesn't matter if you find out. The bait has already been thrown out. Even if the Song family knew it was a conspiracy, they would still have to swallow the bait. Who made this bait so tempting?"

Li Luo laughed at himself and said, "I never thought I could be of such use."

"Ambitious people seek the world. If they want to win the world, they can't get around the prince. Don't you think such a bait is not sincere enough?"

"Zhuocheng has really become a place of right and wrong."

"The demons and ghosts in the court are entangled with each other and have their own agendas. However, as long as the prince is still around, these people will not dare to show up to the public. They can only pretend to be ghosts behind their backs. Huh, now it seems that the Song family in Tiannan

I really misjudged it at first.”

"Have you found out what happened in Yuhua Pavilion?"

"That's right."

"So fast!"

"Although Yuhua Pavilion is secretive and unpredictable, as long as there are people, money exchanges are indispensable. Keep an eye on the movement of money, and no matter how deeply hidden the clues are, one day they will be exposed. Speaking of this alone, Zhang Rongzheng is indeed a talent."

"Who is in charge?"

"My lord, you might as well take a guess." Yin Mohuai took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Li Luo was silent for a moment and said calmly: "It's just a few people from the Li family. I wouldn't be surprised even if it's my father."

"This person will really exceed the prince's expectations."

"Who?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

"Li Xuansi."

Li Luo took a breath and said in shock: "Prince Deng? It's actually him!"

"When I first heard the news, I was a little unbelievable. Prince Deng became famous as a young man, but he was ruined by his talent. He became disabled, fell out of favor day by day, and had no place to stay in the palace. Among all the disciples, he was the most popular.

He has been in so much poverty that he has become a useless person in the eyes of outsiders over the years. Perhaps it is because of this that he is unwilling to become someone else's pawn. However, he is always coldly criticized by others, which has become his best disguise.

No one could have imagined that such a prince who was seen as a useless person by others could plot against King Mingwu without anyone noticing, and by the way forced the queen to death. It is true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance." Yin Mohuai gave him a rare compliment.

A few words, "Do you know how many women and money Yuhua Pavilion has given away over the years? This number is astonishingly large."

Li Luo was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Why, the prince can't bear it?"

Li Luo smiled bitterly and said: "It is forbearing, good at planning, and decisive in killing. It's a pity that these talents are all used in the struggle for power."
