Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 767

Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Setting Up Sister’s Husband

The true love that Jiang Ning mentioned was Jiang Ruobai’s love for Lin Zizi.

Although this was a fact, it felt a bit painful when Li Hongyuan heard it.

His Emperor Father had also claimed to truly love Lin Zizi. But after having Jin Zhuzhu, his love for her never faded in decades, and after his death, he was heartbroken and almost inconsolable.

Everyone thought that the Emperor truly loved Concubine Jin as well.

But Jiang Ruobai’s true love showed in how he would give everything for Lin Zizi’s daughter, while what about the Emperor’s true love?

He loved Jin Zhuzhu, but he didn’t necessarily have the same love for his and Jin Zhuzhu’s son.

At least, at this moment, the Emperor’s vigilance toward Li Hongyuan had long surpassed his love for this son.

Jiang Ning saw that he didn’t speak and comforted him: “There is no kinship in the royal family. Compared to the other princes, the Emperor is already treating you well enough.”

Li Hongyuan replied indifferently, “You’re not very good at comforting people.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “Your Highness, I took risks for you to get such a good opportunity to eliminate your rivals. Don’t let me down!”

Li Hongyuan: “Aren’t you afraid your sister will find out how you set up her husband?”

“So, you think Li You will die on the battlefield?”

“There are always casualties in wars.”

“Of course, there are casualties in war, but there are not many generals who die in battle.” Jiang Ning smiled, “Moreover, with Li You’s capabilities, as long as you give him enough troops and time, he can defeat Silla. After all, Li You has a grudge against Silla. He should be very willing to take revenge.”

“What if he doesn’t want to go?”

“He will want to go.” Jiang Ning was very certain.

“Did you ever think…” Li Hongyuan spoke leisurely, “If Li You succeeds, he will have even more capital to confront me?”

“I’ve thought about it. And I really hope he can win. It would be best if after defeating Silla, he could also take care of Rouran.”

“You’re too naive.” Li Hongyuan said coldly, “War is not child’s play, and Rouran is not clay in your hands to be manipulated. Since our ancestor’s time until now, do you know how many times Great Sheng has fought with Rouran? Rouran is a nomadic people with strong cavalry, far beyond the soldiers of Great Sheng.”

“Were the lands eventually taken by your Zhao family?”

“That’s because Rouran was cruel, and the people couldn’t make a living. Our ancestor fought against Rouran’s tyranny.”

“Of course. History has always been written by the victors.”

“Jiang Ning, it seems like you were born rebellious? Would you dare to say a word of this in front of Emperor Father?”

“Don’t be so serious, we’re just a couple talking about intimate matters in private.” Jiang Ning said with a smile, “Li You’s victory would be more beneficial than detrimental for you too.”

“Although I don’t like Li You, I certainly don’t want the soldiers of Great Sheng to sacrifice their lives in vain.”

“Your Highness is indeed kind-hearted.” Jiang Ning sat up, wrapped in a blanket, and smiled, “Then let’s wish our Great Sheng soldiers a triumphant return.”

Li Hongyuan was unmoved, “Don’t celebrate before we see how things turn out. Imperial Physician Dong said that you must lie down and rest for a few days because of the wound on your head. Don’t get up.”

Jiang Ning indeed felt dizzy, so she lay down as she was told, “How come we haven’t seen Lingzi and the other little ones all this day?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. During the time when you were unconscious, your mother sent someone to take the two children back in order to let you rest well. As for Xiaoqian, he still has to study with Lin Shimo, so he temporarily moved to Elegance Palace.”
