Chapter 238 Despair and powerlessness
After these words, everyone at the table fell silent.
Mu Yunzhu couldn't help but hold her chopsticks tightly, thinking of what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It seemed that from that day on, Yan Li's luck was getting better and better, while the others...
"No, no." Mu Yun quickly denied, "I have always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to you, but you were too busy those days, I... I just..."
"Really?" Yan Li smiled faintly, "No need to apologize specially, I'm not that petty."
Mu Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly: "Thank you."
She has been uneasy these days, because she has seen many bullied people turn over and retaliate against others, and she is afraid that Yan Li will really remember her.
What Yan Li did was more than just turning over? It was simply a step to heaven and directly stepped on Yunxiao.
Her mother was even a meritorious official of the Mu Kingdom.
Emperor Zhaocheng doted on Yan Li to such an extent that even if Yan Li found an opportunity to beat Mu Yun, Emperor Zhaocheng would not blame her.
Of course, Mu Yun did not really repent. As the princess of Prince Xian's mansion, she still felt that her status was noble. However, she watched helplessly as several people who provoked Yan Li ended up in a bad way. How could she not worry?
Fortunately, although she was domineering, she still had some brains.
It was a blessing to think about it in the future.
"Princess Nanyang is a person of great character, which is a blessing for Mu Yun." Princess Xian looked at Jiang Yi with a smile on her face, "She is indeed worthy of being the daughter of Miss Jiang."
Miss Jiang was Jiang Yi's identity when she was in the Jiang family before. Princess Xian called her this to get closer.
However, there was also Jiang Jingyue sitting opposite her.
Hearing this, Jiang Jingyue's already unhealthy face turned even paler, and she looked extremely pitiful as she lowered her head and dared not speak. She even lost her appetite for the meal.
She envied Yan Li's good luck, but she realized desperately that she could no longer reach Yan Li's height - this was what made her most painful.
In the past, whenever she envied Yan Li, she could at least tell herself in her heart that when she sat in the position of Crown Princess, she would be the queen mother of the country, with unlimited glory, and she would naturally be able to step on Yan Li.
But now her hope was completely shattered.
Even if she didn't want to face this cruel fact, it was impossible for Mu Xiuhan to become the crown prince again.
Moreover, as long as Jiang Yi was there, she would never let Mu Xiuhan become the crown prince because he betrayed her daughter.
She couldn't help but hate him, but compared to hatred, despair and powerlessness made her more painful.
The atmosphere of the family dinner was subtle, and it ended peacefully amid the different thoughts of everyone.
After the meal, the others left one after another. Emperor Zhaocheng and Jiang Yi had something important to discuss, so they kept Mu Cang and Yan Li and went to the Imperial Study to discuss the matter.
"What do you think about the private soldiers?" Entering the Imperial Study, Emperor Zhaocheng opened the door and said, "Three thousand people are not enough, pick some from the Jingji Guard?"
Mu Cang didn't say anything, and his eyes naturally fell on Yan Li.
Emperor Zhaocheng didn't miss his eyes, and said helplessly: "Mu Cang, Yan Li is old and a woman, you can make a decision for her."M.
"I want to select some young people with good foundation to train and take them to Jin in the future." Yan Li said lightly, "They are strong and sensitive. After training, they can become my amulets."
Emperor Zhaocheng and Jiang Yi were surprised at the same time.
"Young man?" Emperor Zhaocheng looked at her in surprise, then looked at Mu Cang, "Did you teach her?"
Mu Cang frowned slightly: "No."
Yan Li's ideas don't need him to teach, but he has never had the opportunity to show them before.
Besides, selecting some agile and flexible young men for training is not a mysterious thing. Anyone can think of it. What should be done?
"Does the emperor look down on me a little?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly, "Although I am young, I am not so naive that I don't know anything. Besides, this is just an idea of mine. It is not certain whether it can be implemented or not."
"It can be implemented." Jiang Yi said, "This idea is very good."
Mu Cang nodded: "As long as you think about it, you can do it."
Emperor Zhaocheng was silent for a moment. The thought that came to his mind at this time was, if these are really Yan Li's own ideas, does it mean that Yan Li actually has the potential to lead troops in combat?
When he first said that he would give Yan Li private soldiers, he was just thinking about selecting some people to serve Yan Li and protect her. He never thought that Yan Li would have her own ideas.
Select young people to train and take them to Jin?
Although it was not a profound idea, she had such foresight, which showed that she was ready to go to Jin.
Emperor Zhaocheng couldn't help but think of the doubts that he had buried in his heart before.
Mu Cang must have an unknown reason for liking Yan Li. Is it because of her hidden ability?
