The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 769: Far From Arrival

Although it is cruel, it is undeniable that this is the reality.

Looking back at his youngest son, his eyebrows lowered, he sighed and said, "Erlang, sometimes, some people are just like some things. You can't get what you want just by persistence and hard work."

He didn't think that his youngest son had the ability to marry the eldest granddaughter of that old fox Meng Tianguan.

No matter how dumb Lu Luo was, he could hear the hidden meaning behind his father's words.

Lu Sen looked at his younger brother with sympathy.

At the beginning, Li Heng did not think that the killing of his hundred followers had nothing to do with Meng Shisan, because not only had he failed to assassinate Meng Shisan, he also successfully injured Meng Shisan's maidservant and carried her back to the gate of the Meng Mansion. He thought that no matter how stupid the eldest lady of the Meng Mansion was, she should be able to figure out that it was his doing.

Under such circumstances, if he still thinks that the murder of the retainer has nothing to do with Meng Shisan, then he is truly naive.

Later, he returned to his own palace. At dawn, more accurate news came from outside the palace, forcing him to put his plan of counterattack, which he had been planning all night, on hold for the time being.

He recalled the first time he met Meng Shisan. In his eyes, Meng Shisan was beautiful, but she looked like she could fall at any time. He preferred beautiful women to sick girls, so he didn't pay much attention to her.

Originally, he noticed Meng Shisan because Donggong suddenly became better to his sickly eldest cousin, and he was very ostentatious about it, without any restraint at all.

Not to mention that he would be curious, even their father was curious and asked Min Fan to carefully check Meng Shisan's background. However, Meng Shisan's life in the past fifteen years was too transparent. Outsiders only thought that the eldest daughter of the Meng family was sickly and weak, and there was nothing more to say.

But later, Meng Shisan's various behaviors overturned the world's single impression of her. Beyond everyone's expectations, her outrageous and ferocious attitude even made him admire her for a while.

However, once this kind of brutal ferocity was used on him to deal with the hundreds of retainers whom he had worked so hard to find and maintain, especially Mr. Jin among them, those corpses became her achievements that mocked him.

At this moment, he would certainly not be able to appreciate it anymore, and it would all turn into an increasingly strong murderous intent.

If he had used 10% of his strength in sending people to assassinate Meng Shisan, then he would have to use 50% of his strength in the subsequent siege of Meng Shisan.

He has to use the remaining 50% to deal with the East Palace and his good brother, the Crown Prince.

Being able to face the Eastern Palace diagonally, even if Miss Meng died, it would be a glorious death.

When Empress Lu found out, she immediately ordered Palace Order to bring Li Heng into Kunyi Palace. It happened that Lu Haoyang was talking with Lu Sen and Lu Luo in the study room of the Lu Mansion.

Walking into Kunyi Palace under the moonlight, Li Heng knew why his mother had summoned him, so he walked unhurriedly and steadily, not as if he was mad.

Queen Lu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the calm prince. She was afraid that Li Heng would act impulsively and do something irreversible. "It's not bad."

Li Heng bowed and took his seat. He looked at Queen Lu sitting on the Phoenix Throne and whispered, "I am sorry that I have made you worried."

"You..." Queen Lu heard the heavy tone in Li Heng's voice and wanted to ask Li Heng directly if he had any plans. However, when she thought that Li Heng had not opened his heart to her, his mother, for a long time, she was at a loss to ask.

"I know what you want to ask, mother." Li Heng had resentment towards his biological mother because the Lu family did not fully support him. He felt that it was because his mother was not valued by her family that he, the prince's grandson, was half-abandoned by the Lu family. Under such circumstances, his words were inevitably perfunctory. "Don't worry, mother. I know my limits. I know what I should and shouldn't do."

Empress Lu was hesitant to speak after hearing this. It was not that she did not want to do some things, but that she could not do them. Her father was aloof and stubborn, and her elder brother and younger brother followed his father. It was not that she had not tried, but she had never succeeded.

She could understand that the emperor had some complaints about her, but she could do nothing about it.

The Lu family is unwilling to risk all their resources for the prince, nor are they greedy for the possible merit of following the emperor in the future. Instead, they are content with the current stable status quo of wealth and glory. This is what her father and elder brother told her in person. Although the younger brother is unruly, he is on the same side as his father and elder brother.

In this situation, with her mother's family on one side and her own flesh and blood on the other, what can she do?

She was caught in the middle and it was very difficult.

Li Heng saw that Queen Lu looked troubled, and knew that she must be chewing over the old things in her heart again, but she couldn't solve them. He stood up and said, "My queen mother, there is nothing else. I will take my leave now."

"Wait!" Empress Lu stood up anxiously. She stepped down from the throne and came to Li Heng's side. "Brother Heng, Sister Hu has been missing you a lot these days. If you have time, go spend more time with Sister Hu."

Li Hu, the princess who was born when she was thirty years old, was given the title Shunhuan.

His Majesty is very happy, and she is also very happy. Over the past eight years, the prince has loved his younger sister, Hu, very much.

She no longer expected the prince to care about her. She only hoped that the prince would think more about his sister, not be impulsive, and not be too radical, so that even His Majesty would not be able to protect him.

After all, mother and son are connected by heart. As soon as Queen Lu mentioned Li Hu, Li Heng understood. The heavy tone in his voice softened and he said gently, "I know, mother."

The imperial sister is only eight years old this year. What his mother said was simply to ask him to consider his sister's situation more when doing things.

Thinking of Li Hu's innocent little face, Li Heng's steps as he walked out of Kunyi Palace became unconsciously heavy.

Even though he still has his father to bear some bad things for him, his mother's reminder is not entirely unreasonable.

From the past to the present, although his father has protected him, he knows clearly that if he really has to choose between him and the prince, it will be difficult for his father to make a decision, and he will be the one to be abandoned in the end.

He was very clear about this.

This will not change no matter at what time, stage or situation.

As for the Eastern Palace and the Meng Mansion, he is completely independent and helpless. The Lu Mansion will not help him. His mother is willing to help him, but she is deep in the harem, and as for the Central Palace, her abilities are very limited. If even his father no longer favors him, he will be defeated miserably.

This is probably what the Queen Mother wanted to tell him, as she summoned him specially and couldn't help but remind him while she was hesitant to speak.

But why did he need his mother to tell him specifically?
How could he not know that if he really confronted Yu Ming of the Eastern Palace, regardless of whether the Lu Mansion would help him or not, regardless of whether the Meng Mansion would help the Eastern Palace or not, the time for a battle between him and the Crown Prince would be far from right.

If he fights reluctantly...he has little chance of winning.

Walking out of Kunyi Palace, Li Heng's steps became heavier with each step, as if a large piece of steel was tied to his legs.

Shi Mo, who was following behind him, didn't dare to breathe.
