After the morning meal, Li Hong Yuan was summoned into the palace.
Don’t even need to think to know what it was for. Fortunately, the matter of going to the estate, he also needed to inform Le Cheng Emperor.
Li Hong Yuan slowly tidied up, and when it was about time, he lazily entered the palace. Along the way, the people he encountered, not a single one wasn’t secretly or blatantly looking at him with pity in their eyes, including those palace maids and eunuchs.
Towards this, Li Hong Yuan actually didn’t mind. Since he chose this path, he won’t regret it. Moreover, he genuinely loved to the point of being unable to free him, wanting no one but her. Li Hong Yuan right now even feel that facing other women, even if stripped naked, afraid he won’t feel anything either.
Just, a eunuch also dared to look at him as such? The previous ones were separated by a distance, so Li Hong Yuan just ignored, but the ones right under his eyelid, if not looking for death, then what? That’s why, even if the other party was Le Cheng Emperor’s personal attendant, Li Hong Yuan still unhesitantly shot his foot over. That eunuch spat out fresh blood, falling onto the ground.
When the onlookers saw, they all trembled in fear, quickly putting away all their thoughts, looking to their nose, their nose pointing to their heart, just fearing getting noticed by the living Enma.
Le Cheng Emperor although didn’t see, he still could make out his son’s somewhat heavy anger, “Unhappy inside?”
“Imperial father should properly sort out the people by one’s side. A mere eunuch, yet even dares to pity this son?”
Le Cheng Emperor immediately understood. This kind of thing, no matter who, certainly would all burn in anger. Turning his head, he glanced at the one serving by his side, “Get lost, all go receive thirty beatings with the rod, and then inform the Department of Internal Affairs, the ones outside, all switched out.”
That eunuch didn’t dare to have any complaints, tremblingly withdrawing, inwardly rejoicing that he didn’t get kicked back to the Department of Internal Affairs. For someone like him, although a dog by the Emperor’s side, when outside, he was nevertheless able to command the wind and rain. Even the imperial concubines all needed to be polite with him, so the people he’s offended certainly won’t be few. Once he falls from his position, the people that want to trample him to death definitely won’t be few. Just, on the inside, he still secretly resented, a bunch of brainless idiots!
“Yuan’er…………” Le Cheng Emperor looked to Li Hong Yuan also hesitating to speak.
“If imperial father wants to talk about yesterday’s matter, then there’s no need. This kind of thing, this son is long used to. It’s enough that there’s someone sitting on the main consort position. The rest, what is there to care about, just women, that’s all. In the past, the ones this son slept with, were they few? This son was merely just worried about you being in a difficult situation, thus didn’t touch those noble family daughters. If there are still people gossiping, then don’t blame this son for not being polite.”
Le Cheng Emperor tugged the corner of his mouth. This bastard, sure enough, was very thick-skinned. How was it possible for him to take a blow because of this bit of matter. However, sleeping with the noble family daughters, and afterwards, just wipe one’s mouth and leave, this kind of thing, even he, this Emperor, all didn’t dare to do. “If you really did that, then even if it’s the memorial tablet, still need to send into Jin Qinwang Manor. This seemingly is also a way to enter Jin Qinwang Manor, no?”
Li Hong Yuan coldly sneered, “If they have the guts, feel free to try, see whether or not they have that ability.”
“Fine, settle down a little, don’t always give your imperial father trouble. This emperor was just seeing how you still don’t have a son, but now, it can’t be helped, can only watch your wife’s stomach. It’s already almost a year. If unable to, then just let the imperial physician properly examine, and take medicine.”
“Imperial father is thinking too much. The manor doctor has examined both this son and Luo-shi, both perfectly fine. Not having children, it’s merely not the fated time yet. When it should come, it will naturally come. This son is merely just twenty-four, still very young, so what’s the hurry.”
“Fine, fine, fine, this emperor was worried for nothing. Just do whatever you want, this emperor is also too lazy to bother with you.”

“This son wishes to stay at the estate for a period of time, asking imperial father to please allow.”
“Go, go, stay as long as you want.” As long as this bastard doesn’t cause trouble, Le Cheng Emperor will just thank the heavens.
“This son will take one’s leave.”
“Go then.”
Li Hong Yuan turned and left. Entering the palace for once, it was also just these few words.
On the way out of the palace, Li Hong Yuan saw someone from Yucui Palace. However, Li Hong Yuan directly ignored. That person also hardened his head and chased after, “Wangye, wangye, her Highness Noble Consort wants to see you. If you truly don’t want to see, there’s also a few words this servant must tell wangye. Wangye, her Highness’s sincere loving heart, asking wangye to please…………”
Li Hong Yuan suddenly stopped, and expressionlessly looked towards that eunuch, “What you want to say, continue saying, when finished, you can just go report to the underworld.”
That eunuch directly shivered. Not delivering the message, her Highness was benevolent, at most, just punishing him, but the living Enma…………
Li Hong Yuan didn’t even want to stop a moment longer.
That eunuch could only helplessly watch his figure disappear into the distance.
After Noble Consort Su learned the news, she didn’t say anything, just closing her eyes.
And this matter, Le Cheng Emperor had also let someone deliberately pay attention to, just wanting to see whether or not this son will go see his foster mother. Looking at it now, it was truly no longer possible to mend? Was it his sixth son truly having such deep resentment towards Su-shi leaning towards old three, or was it that in this matter, there was something he didn’t know about?
Le Cheng Emperor’s eyes grew dark. If it’s the former, then it didn’t matter, but if it’s the latter………..
Because the estate already had many things, the things they needed to bring along were also just some frequently used things. Moreover, it wasn’t far, so if they forget to bring something, it was just letting someone go back to fetch, thus very convenient.
Jing Wan already had the instructions passed down. While Li Hong Yuan was in the palace, everything was more or less taken care of. Towards her husband always being ‘highly efficient’ when entering the palace to ‘handle matters’, she was also long used to.
Afterwards, it was just immediately leaving, leaving quite carefreely, and not the least bit low-key.
As for whether or not people will think that Li Hong Yuan was in a bad mood, thus going to the estate to relieve himself, the people of Jin Qinwang Manor won’t care.
Just when Jing Wan and them settled down in the estate, Noble Consort Su’s own mother entered the palace to see her.
“Already received a reply? That’s great.” Noble Consort Su’s eyes even lit up quite a bit. However, “Reasonably speaking, it shouldn’t be this quick. Don’t let any mishap occur.”
“Don’t worry your Highness, it’s because the other party wasn’t far from the capital to begin with. That’s why, it was this quick. The time has already been agreed upon, tomorrow at the third quarter of the chen[1] hour. The location, we can decide.”
Noble Consort Su felt that the traveling doctor was truly fearless, daring to let them decide the location, not even scared of being unable to return. However, Noble Consort Su believed that since the other party dared to do this, then he a hundred percent had a way to free himself, inwardly lamenting why this kind of person can’t be used by her. “As such, just arrange it at the Su Manor then. This consort will send someone to inform Ming’er.”
“Then this subject will go back to have someone arrange?”
“Alright, mother, will be troubling you.”
“What is your Highness saying, your Highness was given birth to by this subject, and wangye is this subject’s outer grandson. No matter what one does, it’s all what one should do, how is it ‘troubling’.” Su Old Madam perhaps can’t compare with Luo Old Madam as well as Sun Old Madam’s wisdom, but she can be considered to have self-awareness, having pragmatic views. All in all, it was just following her children and listening to her children.
Noble Consort Su smiled, “Ming’er in the future will be filial to you.”
