The promotion of the imperial palace of the prosperous Huangmou

Chapter 565 Unwilling to back down

But thinking of this, Li Yan refused to back down from this step no matter what.

This step is about Lu Juntong's reputation, about her happiness for the rest of her life, and about what she has always insisted on.

Although he had never asked her before, Li Yan understood somewhat in his heart that Lu Juntong had never wanted to enter the backyard of the Crown Prince's womb.

So he couldn't and didn't want to involve Lu Juntong in this matter.

And when he refuted Emperor Wen's words in this way, Emperor Wen didn't continue to speak at that time, but his expression sank slightly.

It took a while to hear Emperor Wen ask again: "Really?"

Li Yan somewhat guessed the result of Emperor Wen's answer after asking such a question, but finally he sighed inwardly, and replied firmly: "It's absolutely true. My son dare not lie to Emperor Father."

Emperor Wen's eyes fixed on his face for a long time.It seems to want to see through his duplicity.

However, Li Yan always looked the same.

In the end, Emperor Wen laughed: "Alright, my question today is just a test. Since the crown prince doesn't have such thoughts, then things will be much easier to handle."

Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Li Yan's heart sank immediately.

He more or less guessed something.

But now he has no chance of redemption.

What's more, he couldn't say this at all, otherwise, it would overturn what he said before.

Then at this moment, he suddenly thought of what Lu Juntong said to him at that time.

So there was such a moment of hesitation in his heart: Maybe Lu Juntong also wanted to stay with Emperor Wen?

Also, to continue to stay by his side like this... so what?After all, apart from satisfying his selfish desires, for Lu Juntong, there was no benefit at all.

But... Lu Juntong couldn't be easily allowed to leave just like that.

When Li Yan spoke again, his tone was also calm: "Testing? But I don't know why the father wants to test the minister."

Emperor Wen just laughed, and said in a kindly soft voice: "The Lu family has indeed contributed a lot to the court, and this time their father and son died together... If they don't take care of that girl, I just I'm afraid that other people will think that our Li family is ruthless. And that girl is really likable."

"So?" Seeing that Emperor Wen stopped and stopped talking, Li Yan asked.

Only then did Emperor Wen continue slowly: "So I was just thinking about giving her a face. Originally, I thought it would be nice if you wanted her to be a side concubine in the crown prince's uterus. But now that you If you don't have such thoughts...then it's not appropriate to stay by your side any longer."

At an angle invisible to others, Li Yan's fingers hidden in his sleeves were clenched almost instantly.

After a long while, he gradually let go of his fingers again.

In the end, I suppressed all my emotions, tried my best to calm down and asked, "Then what the father means is where is the right place to place her?"

"Since she is a maid of honor, it is very appropriate to stay in front of the imperial court. And that girl looks smart, so she can be useful." Emperor Wen said so, looking at Li Yan while talking.

After all, the expression on Li Yan's face changed a little, first he frowned, and then slowly relaxed it.

I don't know how long it took before I finally heard him say slowly: "Does Father really want to use her or—"
