Chapter 726 Safety
“Of course I have to investigate. After all, if Mr. Fang and Mr. Ren are unwilling to help, I can only bring the witness to the prince myself! Princess Zhenguo Bai Qingyan… cut off my brother’s legs. My father can swallow his anger, but I, as his elder brother… cannot swallow this breath and pretend that nothing happened.” Li Mingrui even found a reason.
“Lord Li is a good brother!” Ren Shijie praised Li Mingrui at the right time.
Li Mingrui smiled and nodded at Ren Shijie: “I know that Mr. Fang has ordered people to capture the Shuoyang man and bring him to the capital. This jailer… Li’s people have also captured him for Mr. Fang and Mr. Ren. He is outside. Mr. Fang and Mr. Ren can take him away later! Just one thing… I hope Mr. Ren and Mr. Fang will not mention Li Mingrui in front of the crown prince! If my father knew… that I disobeyed his orders and opposed the princess behind her back, I’m afraid I will be punished by the family law.”
Mr. Fang laughed softly, “Master Li, don’t you want such a contribution?”
Li Mingrui shook his head: “Li is just venting his anger. Mr. Fang and Mr. Ren need to make contributions in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more than I do. Cooperation… is about mutual benefit. If Mr. Fang and Mr. Ren work hard, and in the end all the benefits are taken by me alone, then if there is any cooperation in the future, I am afraid that Mr. Fang and Mr. Ren will not be willing to cooperate with me anymore!”
Li Mingrui pretended not to know that Mr. Fang hated Bai Qingyan to the core, and just described the matter as a matter of mutual benefit, which made Mr. Fang let down his guard.
“Lord Li is not greedy.” There was a hint of smile in Old Fang’s eyes.
“I always know what it means to stop when enough is enough.” Li Mingrui picked up the teacup in front of him, “Then, I will use tea instead of wine. I hope that Mr. Fang and Mr. Ren will gain more trust from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of this matter. If you two rise to great heights in the future, please do not forget to support me.”
Elder Fang picked up the teacup and said, “Mr. Li, you are too polite. Mr. Li’s father is the left prime minister of the current dynasty. Mr. Li’s future… is limitless!”
After watching Elder Fang and Ren Shijie take Wang Qiulu and the jailer away, the white-robed counselor said to Li Mingrui, “Sir, the person we sent to watch Fu Ruoxi reported back that Fu Ruoxi did go to see Princess Zhenguo. I think Fu Ruoxi should have told Princess Zhenguo about seeing Wang Qiulu entering the Prince Liang’s mansion. I’m still worried that if Fu Ruoxi is not Princess Zhenguo’s man… then no one will tell Princess Zhenguo about Wang Qiulu entering the Prince Liang’s mansion.”
Li Mingrui chuckled and tapped the bone fan in his hand gently: “Do you think the Princess Zhenguo didn’t send people to keep an eye on Prince Liang’s Mansion? The fact that she was able to take precautions before Prince Liang and Prince Xian forced the palace to rebel proves that at least… there are spies from the Princess Zhenguo outside Prince Liang’s Mansion!”
“Sir…” The white-robed counselor’s expression changed, “Will the Princess of Zhenguo also send people to monitor us?”
Li Mingrui laughed out loud and pointed at the old man standing inside the door with his fan: “You know that this old man has a special skill. He can identify people and directions by listening to footsteps. If someone was watching us, this old man would have discovered it long ago.”
The white-robed counselor heaved a sigh of relief and smiled faintly with Li Mingrui: “I never thought! This Fu Ruoxi is indeed the Princess Zhenguo’s man!”
“At the beginning, the Princess Zhenguo could have killed Fu Ruoxi in the Anping camp, but she took Fu Ruoxi’s arm to save him! Later, Old Lady Fu also went to the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion for help! Then… After the Princess Zhenguo went to the prison to see Fu Ruoxi, Fu Ruoxi betrayed the queen! Later, during the Wude Gate Rebellion… Fu Ruoxi was just saved by the Bai family guards by chance, and led 20,000 soldiers stationed outside the capital to rescue the emperor?”
“The Princess Zhenguo is not a soft-hearted, careless, or impetuous person. If Fu Ruoxi was not hers, if she did not completely trust her, how could she dare to let Fu Ruoxi lead 20,000 Anping troops into the city to rescue the emperor?” Li Mingrui’s smile became brighter and brighter. “It’s a pity that Fu Ruoxi and the Princess Zhenguo easily deceived the emperor, the prince, and others!”
“But it didn’t escape your keen eyes!” The white-robed counselor smiled and bowed to Li Mingrui, “Then next, we will also send someone to tell Princess Zhenguo about Wang Qiulu’s dealings with Prince Liang’s Mansion, and let Princess Zhenguo be on guard against Wang Qiulu. In this way…this matter can be separated from you, and even if something happens to Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion, Princess Zhenguo can’t blame you.”
“Well, don’t send a letter, just send someone to pass on a verbal message!”
Li Mingrui had a smile on his face. He wanted to gradually undermine Bai Qingyan’s trust in the prince, and then wait for the death of Lord Shoushan and Imperial Tutor Tan, who were both highly respected in the court and good at calligraphy. Then, when the calligraphy expert arranged by their Li family became famous in Dadu, the authenticity of the letters between Bai Qingyan’s father and the second prince would be decided by him, Li Mingrui.
He has gone to such great lengths to plan this, and one day…the letter in the hands of the Princess Zhenguo will no longer be a threat.
The white-robed counselor narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: “Sir, will Wang Qiulu really testify that it was the Princess Zhenguo who sent people to rescue him for Liu Ruofu’s sake?”
“This Wang Qiulu is a lovesick man! He disobeyed Prince Xian’s order and took the lead in sending troops to kill Princess Zhenguo. He did it for Liu Ruofu. Now he knows that the dead Liu Ruofu is in Prince Liang’s Mansion and is in my hand. Naturally, he will let me command him! If he doesn’t do as I say… Liu Ruofu will die!” Li Mingrui smiled.
“Even a hero can be tempted by a beauty. Liu Ruofu, the most beautiful woman in Jin State and Princess Nandu, is naturally someone who can make Wang Qiulu willingly submit to her. But now that Liu Ruofu’s face is ruined, will he still care about her safety?” The white-clothed strategist was still a little worried.
“I can see that you have never experienced love!” Li Mingrui smiled, turned around and told the silver-haired old man to take good care of the house, then got on the carriage and went back to the Li Mansion.
Liu Ruofu was really dead. Li Mingrui was just lucky enough to save the personal maid that Liu Ruofu had abandoned. He knew about the affair between Liu Ruofu and Wang Qiulu, and found someone who looked similar to Liu Ruofu, disfigured and disfigured her voice. He then had the person trained by Liu Ruofu’s personal maid so that his words and deeds were 80% similar to Liu Ruofu’s.
Later, when the time was almost right, Li Mingrui sent someone to tell Wang Qiulu that Liu Ruofu was still alive, and arranged for the two to meet briefly so that Wang Qiulu would think that Liu Ruofu was not dead.
In this way, Li Mingrui can use Wang Qiulu to deal with Princess Zhenguo.
Li Mingrui’s teacher Du Zhiwei once taught Li Mingrui that killing is the stupidest thing to do, while conspiracy and overt conspiracy… attacking the heart is the best!

Bai Jinxiu did not go home tonight and stayed in Qinghui Courtyard. She just received a report from the secret guards guarding outside the Prince’s Mansion that the Crown Princess had given birth.
