Li Qingyi suddenly realized, "In this case, things between you and me are quite logical. However, smart people can see that the Mu family will definitely be in trouble in the future, but the Mu family and its members are still immersed in power and feel that The Mu family is indestructible and can still make further progress."
Qin Zeng sneered in a deep voice, "I think people who are on the same boat as the Mu family don't know how many secrets the Mu family has hidden. In their eyes, Mu Rencheng holds military power and is an unparalleled general. The two generals of the Mu family The military achievements are great, Concubine Mu is deeply favored, and the fourth prince is very likely to ascend to the throne. The Mu family is standing in the Dajing Dynasty and will not collapse easily. But how can they imagine that the Mu family has laid the foundation for disaster from the beginning? seed."
Li Qingyi heard this and asked, "Do you know anything about the Chongnan woman who colluded with Mu Rencheng?"
"The suspicious candidate has been locked and further confirmation is needed."
"Mu Rencheng must have known about Mu Wan. How would he react?"
Qin Zengwei narrowed his eyes, looking cold and dangerous, "There was nothing unusual about Mu Rencheng, but Chongnan sent an envoy to come to Dajing for diplomatic relations."
Li Qingyi was shocked, "Envoy? At this time? Is it related to Mu Wan's death?"
"If it's related, it seems a bit unrealistic to launch such a big move for Mu Wan, but if it's not related, the timing seems too coincidental. So I guess that Chongnan had this plan a long time ago, and Mu Wan, It happened to be the lead in this matter.”
"If this is the case, then those who colluded with Mu Rencheng must have great power, at least able to influence the court's decision-making."
Both of their faces were a little solemn.
After a moment of silence, Qin Zeng glanced at the sky outside and asked, "Where is that jade pendant now?"
Li Qingyi knew that he was talking about the jade pendant that his second uncle had brought to the emperor when he went to Beijing. He quickly pulled it out from his collar and said, "Here it is, you asked me to put it away. I thought about it and took it with me."
When Qin Zeng saw this, the doting look in his eyes became a little stronger, "This is the jade pendant left by my father. It is a token of the head of Zhenbei Palace."
Li Qingyi was surprised, "So this jade pendant belongs to your Zhenbei Palace?"
"Before my father was executed, your grandfather went to see him through his friends in the Ministry of Punishment. My father gave the jade pendant to your grandfather and asked him to pass it on to me. However, I was hunted at that time and fled the Zhenbei Palace. I do not know where I am. Therefore, this jade pendant has never been handed over to me. When your grandfather passed away, he gave the jade pendant to your second uncle and told him that if he could not find the eldest son of King Zhenbei, he would give the jade pendant to the emperor. Please ask the emperor to Decision."
"So, after the emperor got the jade pendant from his second uncle, he gave it back to you?"
Qin Zeng nodded.
Li Qingyi asked him for help and sent Li Yong to the palace to see the emperor. When he saw this jade pendant in Li Yong's hand, he knew that the Li family was trustworthy.
Later, he revealed his life experience to Li Qingyi, not only because of his recognition of her, but also because of the relationship between Li Mansion and Zhenbei Prince Mansion.
Li Qingyi looked at the jade pendant in his hand, "Then why did you let me keep this thing again?"
"You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Prince of Zhenbei, so you should have a decent token."
Li Qingyi didn't expect that he had already planned it and would use such an important thing as a token of their engagement. He was a little flattered for a moment and said nonchalantly: "Then...are you planning to return to Zhenbei Palace in the future? Doesn't your grandmother dislike it very much? You? And the current Princess Zhenbei and the Crown Prince, how do you plan to deal with these relationships..."
Qin Zeng looked at her angrily and amusedly, "Thinking about such long-term things before the immediate troubles are solved is tantamount to asking for trouble."
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "That's true..."
In his previous life, Qin Zeng was named "Xintinghou", which may not mean he had no intention of establishing his own business.
Let’s talk about the future in the future.
"I have asked someone to prepare the betrothal gift and it will be delivered to the Li Mansion tomorrow."
Li Qingyi was stunned, "Have you been ready?"
"Why, weren't you ready to marry me a long time ago?"
Li Qingyi secretly complained, why does this person like to ask questions back to others so much!
"Last time you were talking about that gift list
, that is to say, betrothal gift? "
"Yes, and the ten pounds of wild ginseng you mentioned are also included in the gift list."
The corners of Li Qingyi's mouth twitched, "If others know, you won't have to laugh so hard."
Qin Zeng's eyes overflowed with a smile, "What else do you want? It's not too late to say it now."
Li Qingyi quickly stretched out his two paws and shook them, "No, no, no..."
"Your second uncle and second aunt will most likely come to you to confirm this matter in a while. I also have to go meet the emperor, so I'll leave first."
Li Qingyi nodded quickly.
Not long after Qin Zeng left, Li Yong and his wife came to look for her.
Ruan asked about her leg first, and after learning that her injury was okay, she said, "Have you known Qin Zeng's plan for a long time? Are you also responsible for the trouble that happened to the daughter of the Mu family this time?"
Li Qingyi curled up his neck with some guilt and nodded.
Ruan took a breath, "You kid! You dare to do anything. What kind of family is the Mu family, and you dare to offend them? If they try to do something bad to you, how can your second uncle and I stop them?"
Li Qingyi said weakly: "Second aunt, Qin Zeng is working for the emperor, and I am also working for the emperor indirectly. The emperor will not ignore me... Besides, Qin Zeng will protect me."
Ruan snorted: "You do believe in him."
Li Qingyi glanced at his second uncle and said: "Second uncle is the prince's husband. He has been a member of the emperor for a long time. In the future... when something happens, second uncle will definitely contribute. Our Li family has already had this Standing, why should I offend or not offend..."
Ruan poked her forehead angrily: "You kid, you have had the right ideas since you were a child!"
Li Qingyi hugged Mrs. Ruan's arm in a flattering manner, "Second Aunt, things have come to this point. Let's work together to help the emperor eradicate the female gangsters. It will only be good for our Li family, and there will be no harm."
Ruan made a show of pushing her: "You are a housewife, and you talk about eradicating female gangsters and sycophants, but you have to be self-sufficient first!"
Li Qingyi hugged her and refused to let go, "Second Aunt, you should have some understanding of Qin Zeng's character. He will not let his niece fall into an unbearable situation."
Mrs. Ruan sighed, "If he wasn't a eunuch, my second aunt would really like you to find such a good man, but he is a eunuch, even if you..."
She lowered her voice, "Even if you are fake, but you and the eunuch are in the same room...what will people think in the future!"
When this topic came up, Li Yong coughed awkwardly on the sidelines. Ruan glanced at her husband, glared at him fiercely, and complained that he was looking over his head and not thinking carefully.
She thought for a while and said: "Anyway, the internal affairs of the Qin Mansion must be strictly guarded and will not be revealed easily. You don't want to sleep in the same room! There is also your roommate and dowry. I will choose it myself. I must guard it carefully." in case!"
"..." Li Qingyi thought to himself, I have become a fake relative again, "Everyone, listen to the second aunt..."
*****
Wei Mansion.
Wei Laner was talking to his mother Guo.
"Mom, what do you think of grandma's proposal last time?"
Mrs. Guo looked at her daughter's expression and said, "Looking at your appearance, are you tempted by this matter?"
