“Threaten?”

“Yes, threaten him with me.” Jiang Ning laughed. “You can tell him that if he doesn’t let people go, you’ll mistreat me and the two children and make us suffer.”

Li Hongyuan stared at her in astonishment.

This woman must be seriously crazy.

“Are you serious?” He couldn’t help but ask.

“Does Your Highness think I’m joking?” Jiang Ning asked him. “Or do you think the method I mentioned is not reliable?”

It was precisely because it was so reliable that Li Hongyuan thought she was crazy.

What exactly did this woman want to do?

Whose side was she on, after all?

Li Hongyuan looked into her eyes, trying to find the answer.

However, she didn’t give him the chance.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to eat.

At this moment, the food in front of her was the most important thing in the world.

“Aren’t you stuffed from eating so much in the morning?” Li Hongyuan glanced at her slim waist, which could be held with a single grip.

“Not at all.” Jiang Ning put another dumpling into her mouth. “Your Highness is so noble, how could you understand the taste of hunger? Hmm… Your father did experience it, though.”

Li Hongyuan seemed to be immune to her lack of respect.

He was silent for a moment and said, “Jiang Ning, I’m not sure if you’re really joking or not, but I might actually do as you suggested.”

“Go ahead.”

Jiang Ning waved her little hand, very generously.

Li Hongyuan stood up and walked away.

“However…” Jiang Ning’s voice came from behind him.

Li Hongyuan turned his head to look at her.

Jiang Ning’s lips were stained with oil, looking shiny and bright.

She stuck out her tongue to lick her lips and laughed, “If you threaten Prime Minister Jiang, it may backfire.”

“What?”

“After all, Prime Minister Jiang is a man who doesn’t like to be threatened. What if he gets angry and kills Mu Jian directly?”

“Won’t he care about you?”

“Did Your Highness forget the reason why you married me in the first place?” Jiang Ning said calmly, “I believe that with your wisdom and rationality, you wouldn’t do something so impulsive.”

Li Hongyuan stared at her, motionless.

Jiang Ning said significantly, “Every action has its pros and cons, Your Highness!”

“Jiang Ning, both you and your Jiang family are very bold,” Li Hongyuan said slowly, word by word. “Haven’t you ever thought about the future?”

“The future? When you become Emperor, would you allow your Empress to have such a powerful family behind her? Impossible.” Jiang Ning laughed. “We might as well be frank with each other now.”

“Jiang’s family has always been law-abiding, with outstanding merits of General Jiang. Over the years, Emperor Father has showered the Jiang family with favor. Why would I do anything to the Jiang family? Jiang Ning, you think too poorly of me.”

“People are different, and so are Emperors.”

“What exactly do you want?”

“No matter what the future holds, never lay a finger on the Jiang family.” Jiang Ning said solemnly. “I can guarantee to you that as long as I’m alive, the Jiang family will never have the situation where relatives interfere in politics.”

“I agree with you.”

“Your Highness agreed too quickly.”

“You-” Li Hongyuan couldn’t bear it any longer. “Forget it, it’s too early to talk about these things now. We have a common enemy at present. Jiang Ning, I hope you can be of one heart with me as husband and wife, and not play tricks on me all the time. That will only create opportunities for others to exploit. At least, we must first find out who framed my concubine mother and the Jiang family, before we talk about anything else.”
