The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 186 Lies

In the King Cheng Mansion, the servants have been doing things carefully in recent days, for fear that they will accidentally offend the master who is easily angry.

Many people had already sat in the hall, all of them were officials of the Yanjing court, and they were probably discussing something very important. King Cheng sat at the head, and below him, close to his left, was Li Zhongnan.

"Everyone," King Cheng said, "I'm afraid our day will have to be brought forward."

These days, noy sure if Emperor Hong Xiao knew his plan and targeted him everywhere. 

King Cheng was angry. He had already made up his mind to start the rebellion in advance, and the incident of Princess Yongning had added fuel to his anger, leaving him with nowhere to vent his anger. He just wanted to break into the palace right now, pull Emperor Hong Xiao down from that position, and trample him under his feet.

You know, during this period, because of Princess Yongning, he suffered a lot of ridicule and discussion. Although those people didn't dare to say anything to his face, they almost broke his spine behind his back. 

King Cheng has always cherished his reputation. He hopes that when he sits in that position one day, he will be clean and innocent, and not be criticized. Now it seems impossible, so it is better to give it a try without any worries.

King Cheng looked at Li Zhongnan beside him and asked, "What do you think, Right Prime Minister?"

Li Zhongnan smiled and said, "It's up to your Highness."

King Cheng was a little unhappy. Li Zhongnan was clearly perfunctory. He knew that Li Zhongnan had a grudge against him because of the Princess Yongning incident, and now he is still not very happy. 

Although King Cheng has apologized, he doesn't think so in his heart. You know, he is the king and Li Zhongnan is just a minister. Now he is holding Li Zhongnan up and treating Li Zhongnan with courtesy. But if Li Zhongnan doesn't know how to appreciate it, he doesn't mind giving Li Zhongnan a hard time.

Of course, not now, but when he sits in a high position and holds great power.

Li Zhongnan smiled on his face, but he was also very angry in his heart. The fact that Li Xian likes to raise boys in his house can be said to have completely disgraced the reputation of the Li family. 

Of his two sons, the younger son Li Lian was useless, but the older son, apart from this special hobby, had a very good reputation. He would have succeeded him in the future and become the pillar of the Li family. But because of Princess Yongning's fuss, Li Xian became a stain on the Li family. 

Now the Li family had to be careful when they went to court, and they couldn't let people see that it was the Li family's carriage, so as to avoid being pointed at behind their backs. Li Xian even lost his official position, and his good career was ruined.

If it was Princess Yongning who did all this, Li Zhongnan would at most blame King Cheng for not disciplining his sister properly. What made Li Zhongnan angry was that Princess Yongning, pregnant with Shen Yurong's bastard, actually married into the Li family. 

King Cheng said that he didn't know that Princess Yongning was pregnant. How could that be possible? He clearly wanted the Li family to be the unlucky one, raising a son for someone else inexplicably. When he thought of this, Li Zhongnan was furious. What did King Cheng think of their Li family? As fools!

It is true that King Cheng is the master now, and they are the ministers, and they can't do anything to King Cheng. But this breath can't be swallowed, like a fishbone stuck in the throat.
