"Young Master, how did you know that there will be news coming out of the palace today?" Xiaosi asked with a puzzled expression in the inner courtyard of Li Garden.
Even if Emperor Shang intends to propose marriage, why would the young master know that it is today?
"Not that awesome."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "I can only speculate that Emperor Shang will make a decision soon. Whether it will be today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I don't know. However, this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, and it will not be done until it is officially done." He must communicate with the queen before making a decision, so the news will most likely come out in the palace within a day or two."
"I see."
Xiaosi heard the young master’s reminder, understood, and said softly, “Young Master, are we really not going to do anything?”
"Need not."
Li Ziye said in a gentle tone, "Now is the time of national war. Even if the Shang Emperor wants to grant a marriage, the wedding must be scheduled after the winter armistice at the earliest. In the remaining few months, the royal family will have no control over the Li family." , not only will we no longer suppress you, but we will deliberately appease you to prevent the Li family from going crazy and destroying everything."
"What will we do when winter comes?" Xiaosi asked worriedly.
"It's a little far away."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "Although people who don't worry about the future are bound to worry about the immediate future, it doesn't matter what happens in a few months. It's good to let the Li family enjoy a few months of peace."
Xiaosi frowned slightly after hearing what the young master in front of him said. Just as he was about to say something, Taotao came up from the front with a bowl of lotus seed soup, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Xiaosi, the young master is teasing you."
Taotao stepped forward and said softly, "Since the young master has reached this stage of the royal family, how could he not make plans? Moreover, even if the ninth princess and the young master get married, the royal family may not necessarily be able to take over the entire Li family. The game between the two parties has been going on for so many years, and it is not easy for the royal family to overthrow the Li family at once."
The move of the Ninth Princess is indeed a killer move for the royal family, but the effect depends on how the next move is played.
Li Ziye took the lotus seed soup, drank it in a few gulps, and asked, "Taotao, how is Li Junsheng's place lately? Nothing happened, right?"
"The eldest princess went there once."
Taotao answered truthfully, "I'm not sure what I said, but judging from the look on the princess's face when she came out, the conversation between the two didn't seem very pleasant."
"This pair of old acquaintances is quite interesting."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "It seems that I have to relax a little bit on Li Junsheng's side and give him a little hope of returning to the Li family. Otherwise, he won't be able to sing the rest of the play."
"The young master wants to use the second master to lure the royal family to invest more energy there?" Taotao Xin understood and asked.
"good."
Li Ziye replied, "When the Ninth Princess gets married, Li Junsheng returns to the Li family, two moves of chess, go hand in hand, and the royal family will completely take over the Li family, and it is no longer an extravagant hope."
At this point, Li Ziye paused and continued, "When the news of Emperor Shang's engagement came down and it was revealed to the outside world that the Li family was interested in Li Junsheng's return, then the royal family would logically think that the Li family wanted to use Li Junsheng's return. Return and fight against the royal family’s marriage plan.”
"My slave understands."
Hearing this, Taotao's eyes narrowed slightly and she said, "The second master is the only direct bloodline of the Li family besides the young master. The royal family is planning to marry him. The Li family hopes that the second master will return. Of course, at this time, if the royal family can take the second master as their own, If you use it, one light and one dark, the Li family will be defeated."
"Getting smarter."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "This is what I said before, the significance of Li Junsheng's move. You and I both know that the royal family will make a fuss about him, so for us, this secret move can only be regarded as It's better to have everyone move around a clear move than to be wary of hidden arrows that come from nowhere."
"This slave will make arrangements right now." Taotao took the empty bowl and left quickly.
"This day has been really long."
Li Ziye glanced at the scorching sun in the sky, murmured softly, closed his eyes, and temporarily recovered his mind.
Xiaosi stood aside, keeping silent and keeping company quietly.
"Boy, you are really laid back."
At this moment, a calm voice sounded in the backyard, and then two figures stepped forward.
"Senior Sword Immortal."
On the machine chair, Li Ziye opened his eyes and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for a long time."
"Don't worry about it. I think your life is too long."
Lu Wentian said something serious and said seriously, "Boy, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
"Senior, are you going back to Yunhai Immortal Sect?"
Li Ziye looked at the two people in front of him and asked in surprise, "What about Master Xiugu Peak?"
"She stays."
Lu Wentian said seriously, "Does this make you feel relieved?"
"Feel sorry."
Li Ziye apologized, "It's not that I don't trust Xiugu Peak Master, it's just that there is a conspirator in the Yunhai Immortal Sect. I can't tell who this person is yet."
The only person he could trust in the Yunhai Immortal Sect was the Sword Immortal in White, the Xiugu Peak Master. Although it was unlikely that he was a conspirator, he couldn't gamble.
"understand."
He Xiugu stepped forward and said calmly, "It will be the same when Lu Wentian goes back. Mr. Li, I will fulfill my promise and help you refine the last five lotus seeds in your body."
After saying that, He Xiugu took out Qinglian, turned her palm to condense the essence, and pressed it on the former's Dantian.
The next moment, five radiant lotus seeds flew out one after another and landed on the green lotus.
"Boy, listen to my advice."
When He Xiugu was refining the lotus seeds, Lu Wentian stepped forward and persuaded him earnestly, "Don't worry about it now. Save your life. Only in the future will you have a chance to restart the chess game. You are still so young."
"That old fox from Emperor Shang wants to marry me." Li Ziye said softly.
Lu Wentian looked shocked, but quickly recovered, sighed softly, and said, "You can weigh it yourself."
Everyone will say that it makes sense, but the Li family did not have a moment to breathe under the intense pressure from the royal family.
The biggest failure of the Li family is that there is no second Li Ziye.
One person brings the whole family to a height that it should not reach. If the man is not guilty and harbors the crime, this is almost a dead end.
"alright."
Not long after, He Xiugu refined five lotus seeds, reached out and handed them over, reminding, "Master Li, although the seven-color lotus heart is a magical medicine, it has no life-extending effect. Moreover, your current body is too weak to be replenished. Use with caution.”
Li Ziye took the three lotus seeds and said softly, "Return the remaining two to your sect."
He Xiugu was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Xiugu, take it."
On the side, Lu Wentian seemed to realize something and said jokingly, "This boy is rarely generous for once. Soon, he will regret it."
