Chapter 702 The Concubine's Thoughts

After reading the letter, Li Yu thought about something.

Tao Yuan asked, "Your Highness, has Dongping Pass encountered an enemy situation?"

Li Yu handed the letter directly to Tao Yuan.

Tao Yuan quickly looked at it and murmured with a serious expression: "Does Li Jin want to use troops north or west?"

When you go north, you will naturally attack Li Deng. If you go west, you will come to attack your own side!

Li Yu rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Golden Crow!"

"Your Highness!"

"Go and find Long Fei!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Seeing that Li Yu had to be busy with his business, Tao Yuan couldn't continue talking about Su Qingxuan's affairs.

He intervened to Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, the old minister will leave!"

As soon as Tao Yuan left, Long Fei quickly walked into the lobby and intervened and said, "Your Highness!"

Li Yu asked, "Long Fei, Li Jin is summoning troops in Chuzhou, do you know?"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

"What does he mean?"

"As far as my subordinates know, Li Jin plans to advance to Zheng County!"

Li Yu's heart moved and asked, "Is the news accurate?"

Long Fei said seriously: "It's not sure now! My subordinates know that they will verify it. I guess there will be a definite news in the past few days!"

"very good!"

Li Yu nodded with satisfaction.

He was talking to Long Fei, and Xia Ya walked in from outside, saluted Li Yufu, and said, "Your Highness!"

Li Yu smiled and asked, "What's the matter with Xia Ya?"

"The Empress of the Concubine is welcome!"

"Oh, I got it."

Li Yu and Long Fei had almost had a talk, so they got up and went to the back house.

When he saw Tang Yiren, the latter said, "Just just now, Mr. Tao talked to his mother about your marriage with Xiying. Mom asked Mr. Tao to make a decision!"

"Mr. Tao has already told the child."

Tang Yiren asked with concern: "Mom wants to ask you, are Yu'er still satisfied with this marriage?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, not very clear about what his mother meant to ask him.

He said, "I'm quite satisfied!"

He felt that with Tao Xiying's ability, he could be his own good servant.

Tang Yiren nodded with a smile and said, "Yu'er said that, mom is also very happy!"

Li Yu was quite puzzled.

My mother came here just to ask this question?

Tang Yiren changed the subject and asked, "Have Yu'er read the "Book of Han"?"

Li Yu blinked and said, "I've seen it."

"The king said that the country will always be destroyed by weak, while the Han will only be destroyed by strong."

yes!

I know this sentence!

All dynasties in China have been destruction due to the weak national strength. Only the Han Dynasty, even when it was destroyed, had enough combat power to crush all the barbarians around them.

Tang Yiren asked again: "Can Yu'er know why the Han Dynasty died?"

There are only two points: one is the autocracy of eunuchs and the other is the autocracy of foreign relatives.

Tang Yiren said meaningfully: "During his lifetime, the Emperor often sighed at the demise of the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor has always taken it as a warning!"

Li Yu finally understood what my mother meant. In fact, my mother disagreed with the marriage between him and Tao Xiying from the bottom of her heart.

What I worry about is that Tao Xiying's background is too good and Tao Yuan's power in the court is too heavy, which can easily lead to the autocracy of foreign relatives, thus repeating the mistakes of the Han Dynasty.

Li Yu has a new understanding of his mother, who is just a maid.

He smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, my child will learn from history!"

A bright light flashed in Tang Yiren's eyes. She patted Li Yu's hand and said, "I will take a nap, Qingxuan, come and sit with Your Highness!"

"Yes! The Empress of the Concubine!"

Su Qingxuan bowed happily and said, "Great deity for the Empress of the Concubine!"

Tang Yiren is so smart, how could he not see Su Qingxuan’s intention?

The reason why she did not point it out was that she willingly acted as a springboard for Su Qingxuan was that she did not want Li Yu to put all her thoughts on Tao Xiying alone.

Now Li Yu needs Tao Yuan’s assistance and support, so the matter of his marriage to Tao Xiying cannot be changed.

But Tang Yiren didn't want Li Yu to spend all his thoughts on Tao Xiying. If Su Qingxuan could disperse Li Yu's favor, Tang Yiren would also like to see it happen.

Tang Yiren returned to the inner room to rest, leaving Li Yu and Su Qingxuan looking at each other.

"Your Highness..."

"General Su!"

Both spoke almost at the same time.

Li Yu smiled and said, "General Su talk first!"

"Just as long as your highness calls me Qingxuan!"

"Qingxuan!"

Li Yu murmured her name.

Su Qingxuan was blushing and shy as if she was a little girl.

In fact, she is not very old, the same age as Li Yu, and just turned 20 this year.

However, she is too beautiful, and has a steady temperament and meticulous work, which gives people a very mature feeling.

Li Yu said: "Thank you for this period of time."

"What is your Highness who thanks me?"

Su Qingxuan asked in confusion.

Li Yu said: "My mother first arrived in Qinzhou and was not familiar with the place. She looked much cheerful with you during this period!"

People gradually become richer, not as thin as they were when they first met.

Su Qingxuan nodded and said, "It's the Empress of the Concubine who treats me so well that I can't help but want to get close to the Empress of the Concubine."

After a moment of pause, she said: "I have been an orphan since I was a child and was adopted by Feiwei Mansion. Although Lord Ling and Lord Yan treat me well, I am in a good manner as my brother and sister,... I have never experienced the love of my parents. Therefore, when I see the concubine, I can't help but treat the concubine as my mother..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and in the end, she could hardly hear it herself.

Although she lowered her head, she kept glancing at Li Yu from the corner of her eyes and secretly watched his reaction.

Su Qingxuan's words are also very skillful.

First of all, it is shown that she treats the concubine from her sincerity.

Secondly, she revealed to Li Yu intentionally or unintentionally that she is Ling Yun and Yan Mo's subordinate.

You should know that Ling Yun and Yan Mo both sacrificed their lives to save Li Yu's life. She came from Ling Yun and Yan Mo's subordinates, which was easy to get close to Li Yu.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

After hearing Su Qingxuan say that she was Ling Yun and Yan Mo's subordinate, Li Yu's eyes immediately showed sadness.

Li Yu felt distressed even when he thought about Ling Yun and Yan Mo's death.

He stood up and walked closer to Su Qingxuan.

The latter immediately lowered his head and dared not look at him.

Li Yu gently lifted Su Qingxuan's chin with his finger bent, making her raise her head.

He looked at Su Qingxuan's face carefully, as if he wanted to see Ling Yun and Yan Mo's shadow from her face.

After a while, he withdrew his hand and said, "Qingxuan will stay by my side from now on!"

This sentence almost made Su Qingxuan break the defense on the spot.
