Chapter 482 The world! Only those who are capable can do both!
Li Xingyun took a deep breath and replied, "Father, I have grown up now. I have the right to know my own life experience. Moreover, over the years, I always feel that something has been concealed. I hope you can tell me the truth."
Li Qiankun looked at Li Xingyun's determined eyes and sighed inwardly. He knew that this problem would have to be faced sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
He gave a wry smile and ordered the eunuchs and palace maids around him, "Everyone, please leave. I want to talk to Old Thirteen alone."
"Yes!" Many palace maids and eunuchs bowed and saluted, then quickly and orderly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and considerately closed the door, leaving Li Qiankun and Li Xingyun with a relatively private space.
Li Xingyun entered the Yangxin Palace. Time flew by like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, seven full days had passed. During these seven days, he seemed to be isolated from the world, locking himself away in this palace, not taking a single step out.
Ye Qingcheng and Wen Taiji didn't stay outside the Yangxin Palace the entire time; they were each busy. Ye Qingcheng found a quiet courtyard to while away the time, while Wen Taiji took advantage of his free time to bring Ye Xian, who had been sent back by Li Xingyun to report the incident, to the capital ahead of time, and assisted Yuan Tiangang in delivering a large amount of important information.
As this news spread, the entire Shenwu Empire, like a giant machine, began to slowly turn its gears. Countless elite warriors sprang into action like arrows, their target clear—the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Sea!
Seven days later, Li Xingyun finally slowly emerged from the Yangxin Palace. His steps seemed heavy, as if he were carrying the weight of the entire world. However, as he took a deep breath and exhaled, his gaze gradually grew firmer.
The world! Only those who are capable can do both!
Li Xingyun left the palace with dignity and gravitas, like a dragon and a tiger. However, just as he was about to step out of the palace gate, a strong man dressed as a guard came rushing towards him like a gust of wind. This sudden action immediately aroused Li Xingyun's vigilance, and his steps came to an abrupt halt.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The burly man suddenly knelt down five meters away from Li Xingyun and kowtowed.
"Hmm!" Li Xingyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. His deep eyes casually glanced at the person in front of him, and then he asked slowly, "What's the matter?" It seemed as if he was not surprised by the appearance of this person, as if he had already expected to meet him here.
The sturdy man bowed respectfully, then stood up and answered in a low but loud voice: "Your Highness, I am here waiting for Your Highness on the orders of the Seventh Princess, just to pass on the princess's letter to Your Highness." After that, he quickly took out a tightly sealed letter from his arms and held it carefully in both hands, as if it was an inestimable treasure.
Li Xingyun nodded slightly, understanding. With a gentle wave of his right hand, the secret letter, as if drawn by an invisible force, slowly flew into his hand. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest delay.
After receiving the letter, Li Xingyun looked down at it, then raised his head and said to the strong man, "Well, you can go back and report." His tone was calm and gentle, and people could not feel the slightest majesty, but there was a kind of irresistible power in his voice.
Li Xingyun carefully unfolded the secret letter, his eyes quickly scanning the contents. Without hesitation, he summoned a blazing flame from his palm. The flames instantly devoured the secret letter, reducing it to ash as if it had never existed.
After doing all this, Li Xingyun didn't hesitate at all and walked towards the residence of the Seventh Princess, Li Xingmeng. His steps were brisk and decisive, as if he already had a clear goal in mind.
When he arrived at the door of Li Xingmeng's mansion, the door slowly opened, and a faint fragrance filled his face. Li Xingyun stepped into the mansion, crossed the courtyard, and went straight to Li Xingmeng's room.
Inside the room, Li Xingmeng, dressed in a silk nightgown, lazily reclined on the bed, gently fiddling with her cascading hair. Her beauty was like the first ray of sunlight in the morning, soft and warm.
Seeing Li Xingyun come in, Li Xingmeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and asked softly: "Has the letter been delivered?"
The burly messenger standing at the door bowed hurriedly and replied, "Princess, the letter has been successfully delivered to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." His voice was slightly low, and he lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to meet Li Xingmeng's eyes.
Li Xingmeng nodded with satisfaction, a subtle glint in her eyes, and said softly, "Well, very well done. Leave and claim your reward."
The strong man was as if he had been pardoned. He thanked the master quickly and quickly left the room, passing by Li Xingyun who was walking in.
Li Xingyun didn't care about the strong man's departure. His eyes fell on Li Xingmeng, and a friendly smile spread across his face. He said, "Seventh Sister, are you looking for me?"
"Xingyun is here! Come over here! I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've lost weight. Let me check you out!" As soon as Li Xingmeng saw Li Xingyun, she immediately sat up straight on the bed, waved and called out to him with joy on her face.
Seeing this, Li Xingyun felt that Li Xingmeng was a little strange today, but he did not think too much about it. He just walked quickly to Li Xingmeng's bed and sat down casually.
"I need to discuss some serious matters with Xingyun. Please all leave!" Li Xingmeng turned around and instructed the maids in the room. After everyone had left the room, she slowly withdrew her gaze and looked back at Li Xingyun.
Li Xingmeng seemed to have inadvertently changed her sitting position. Her smooth, white legs, like two lotus roots, were casually draped over Li Xingyun's thighs. With a smile on her lips, she asked softly, "What did you talk about with Father?"
Li Xingyun was suddenly startled by Li Xingmeng's intimate behavior and felt a little uncomfortable. However, Li Xingmeng's next question made his heart tighten, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"You knew that too?" Li Xingyun stared at Li Xingmeng and asked. He thought to himself that although Li Xingmeng had liked to tease him before, she had never been as bold as she was today! Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary, and Li Xingyun's vigilance was instantly raised.
Li Xingmeng paused, then looked into Li Xingyun's eyes and answered sincerely, "I am a little older than you, so I naturally know something about your background!" Li Xingmeng did not say it explicitly, but also admitted that he knew about Li Xingyun's background.
