Chapter 316: Ultimately Need to Do a Bit of Something
Min Yu Han forcibly tugged the corner of his mouth, “Hearing w.a.n.gye’s words, seems w.a.n.gye didn’t get deceived by the other party. Then again, with w.a.n.gye’s intelligence, how could one easily get taken advantage of by that kind of person.”
“Your complaint towards him is very big, even ‘the resentment filling the heavens’. What, in this nearly a year’s time, have new discoveries?” Towards his words, Li Hong Yuan declined to comment, his expression lax as he tapped the booklet pressed under his hand.
The hatred in Min Yu Han’s eyes, in this moment, directly seeped out. Just, shortly after, he realized he shouldn’t lose his bearings like this here, thus violently shut his eyes. When opening them again, the emotions inside were already completely without a trace. After slight contemplation, he ultimately had the results of his investigation, as well as his guesses, all voiced out.
“For that old thing to do this kind of thing isn’t all that strange either.” Li Hong Yuan didn’t have the slightest emotion, “However, speaking of which, in a certain sense, this prince should even thank him, no? Without this step of his, perhaps this prince won’t even exist.”
“How will you not exist? Without this matter, you would be my son.” Min Yu Han momentarily got worked up and blurted out, saying what can be considered a blasphemous thing.
Li Hong Yuan sarcastically laughed, his gaze towards Min Yu Han just like looking at a dead person.
Min Yu Han felt chills all over, finally realizing that he’d said something very inappropriate, “w.a.n.gye, please forgive, this commoner just momentarily………….”
“Even if that year she’d married you, the child born would also be carrying your blood with hers. As such, what does it have to do with this prince? Your blood can even be the same as that one on the throne’s, creating the same descendant? Even if the same father and the same mother giving birth to two children, they would still be entirely different.” Li Hong Yuan seemingly didn’t get angry, his mood actually rather good.
“w.a.n.gye is right, this commoner was impetuous, and had no intention of offending you, so asking to please forgive.”
“If there’s nothing else, then just withdraw. This prince still needs to go to Gong Courtyard.” Li Hong Yuan instantly changed face, unhesitantly kicking him out.
“This commoner heard, the Min clan had a boat that traveled along with w.a.n.gye from Chongzhou Fu to Chuanzhou Fu, don’t know if w.a.n.gye saw the people on the boat?” Min Yu Han slightly hesitated.
“Pei Xiu Ying.” Li Hong Yuan directly pointed out, “Just that bit of tricks? This prince’s l.u.s.tful reputation is this deeply ingrained in people’s hearts?”
“It was this commoner that thought too much. This commoner will take one’s leave.” Min Yu Han bowed to take his leave and left.
Speaking of which, Min Yu Han was purely ‘concerned thus in disorder’. In a certain sense, he really had Li Hong Yuan viewed as his own son, but can only do so in his heart. Towards the mortal world, he no longer had hope and attachment. At present, he just wants to do everything he can to help Guan Guan’s child ascend the throne, and perhaps, also one more thing, absolutely not let that old thing get what he wants. And this latter bit, perhaps didn’t even need for him to do anything. Judging from Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s att.i.tude, perhaps in the end, that old thing will just ‘try to steal the chicken only to lose the rice used as bait’. Must let him die in regret!
Also on Pei Xiu Ying’s side, just someone like that, yet there are people comparing her with Guan Guan? He inevitably will have to do a bit of something.
Exiting the gates, Min Yu Han was just like having changed face, seemingly shrouded by gloom and pain. He was desperately restraining and enduring.
If Jing Wan saw, she most likely will once again gasp in amazement, this acting skill, incredible!
Speaking of which, right now, there were many eyes watching Li Hong Yuan, so the people coming to look for him naturally will also be known by the various sides. At this time, to want to secretly come visit him, this difficulty was extremely high. Rather than this, one might as well openly visit. Those that don’t know the reason, naturally it’s just letting them guess and secretly look into. And those that know to reason, what can they do? They similarly won’t say a single word.
When hearing that Jin Qinw.a.n.g was coming down to Jiangnan, Min Yu Han was already in a relatively fretful state for a period of time. At this time, with the person already right under his eyelids, to can’t help but to want to meet was also something within reason.
The people that frequently interact with the Pei clan, just from that face, sooner or later will all discover some clues.
As for whether Le Cheng Emperor will worry about the matters inside becoming known by others, naturally he won’t. In reality, others were all unaware that the earliest Li Hong Yuan had learned about his own birth mother was precisely from Le Cheng Emperor’s mouth. In the beginning, it was because of the Pei clan, in addition to Imperial n.o.ble Consort herself, that her background was kept a secret. What Le Cheng Emperor avoided as taboo was never this, but rather Imperial n.o.ble Consort’s death, and further avoided as taboo the fact that he’d personally killed her. If this layer of relations.h.i.+p with the Pei clan gets exposed, he won’t care either, as long as between them, there isn’t any contact.
For this trip, sending Yu Zhong Qing to closely follow by Li Hong Yuan’s side, aside from preventing this son from roping in the Jiangnan officials, how was it not to also prevent him from coming in contact with the people of the Pei clan. If he doesn’t come in contact with them, naturally it was all good for everyone, but if he does, then in the future, he’ll have to take certain measures. Of course, this was his most favored son after all, so at most it’s just restricting his freedom, no longer able to leave the capital, that’s all. And if the Pei clan is attempting to use his son to do something, he also won’t be lenient. In any case, towards the Pei clan, he also didn’t have any good feelings.
Li Hong Yuan ‘absentmindedly’ stared a the door for a moment before retracting his gaze. Looking to the booklet, he casually tossed to An Yi, “Do as you see fit.”
An Yi accepted, letting out a response.
Li Hong Yuan still went through the motions of heading to Gong Courtyard and strolling a circle.
Appearing to not have any changes, but in reality, in his heart, there was already another set of plans. The people that needed to be killed or terrorized seemingly increased.

The Min clan’s main residence although wasn’t in Chuanzhou Fu, it also wasn’t far from Chuanzhou Fu. The clansmen of the Min clan that lived in Chuanzhou Fu also weren’t in the minority. For instance, the Min clan brother and sister pair that reached Chuanzhou Fu together with Li Hong Yuan and them, at present, were still inside the city. Speaking of which, these two people’s blood relation with Min Yu Han was also very close. Their grandfather was Min Yu Han’s older tang brother.
This pretty good looking, good tempered, and also relatively well learned, tang great-uncle, after going out and returning, just directly collapsed, getting directly lifted down from the horse carriage, greatly startling the people in the entire manor, hurriedly having the person carried into the room and inviting a doctor. Inside the room, they were rus.h.i.+ng to save the person, and outside, they just began interrogating the servant boy exactly what happened.
The servant boy was also trembling with fear, shaking all over, “Old, old master went to visit Jin Qinw.a.n.g, and after, after coming out, just wasn’t too well. As a result, as a result, on the horse carriage, just, just………….”
Quite a few people of the younger generation were furious at the injustice, suspecting whether or not Jin Qinw.a.n.g did something to him. And as this manor’s head of the family, it was just falling silent. It was obvious, she was someone in the know. Momentarily later, that old madam just sighed, “Such sins………..”
The youngsters didn’t understand the meaning in this, successively opening their mouth to inquire. The old madam waved her hand, letting them not ask too much. This matter was a shared secret between the Pei clan and the imperial family. It was better to not know.
Once the doctor came out, and asked the caused of fainting, turns out, it was getting overly stimulated, in addition to the body already not considered very well to begin with, it was suffering from pent-up frustration again.
As his elder sister-in-law, the old madam entered the room for a look. Even if unconscious, he was still uneasy, his mouth endlessly shouting something nonstop, and only she knew, it was just two words: Guan Guan!
T/N: I had this hilarious scenario in my head where if LHY was too lazy to deal with the Pei clan himself, he can just write a letter to Le Cheng Emperor and be like “Daddy, they won’t leave me alone.”
