After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

After Li Shiliu sat down again, the old lady waved her hand and signaled all the maids serving in the room to go out.

When the door slowly closed again, the old lady who was originally leaning on the couch slowly sat up straight, and her cloudy eyes revealed a gleam of brilliance.

"The emperor wants to take action against the Tong family."

The old lady's tone was very affirmative. Li Shiliu smiled slightly and did not give a direct answer.

"Madam, the emperor's will is hard to predict. I dare not speculate."

The old lady chuckled, with a glimmer of wisdom in her eyes: "Humph, pretending to be confused when you know the truth. Although I am old, I am not stupid.

Don't worry, the emperor is my only grandson, and the current Duke Yue Tong Guoan didn't crawl out of my belly. If I were to choose, I would definitely stand on the emperor's side. "

Li Shiliu smiled and nodded, but she had her own plans in mind.

She knew that the old lady's position was important, and if she could get her support, it would be of great help to future plans.

However, Li Shiliu did not want to express her opinion easily, as she knew very well how complicated and changeable things were. At this time, at least remaining neutral on the surface might be the wisest choice.

"You're joking, old lady. This land belongs to the king, and the emperor is the ruler of all people. Naturally, we should all listen to his arrangements." Li Shiliu responded cleverly, neither explicitly expressing her support for the old lady nor going against her wishes.

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Shiliu's answer. She sighed softly, and then slowly said: "Shiliu, you have to know that sometimes being too cautious will lead to missed opportunities.

Why did the emperor suddenly let you marry into the Yueguo Mansion as the adopted daughter of the Grand Princess? I don't believe that the emperor did it for the sake of the dying Du Sanniang. It's only 300,000 taels of silver. You can just find a palace maid. There's no need for the adopted daughter of the Grand Princess."

Li Shiliu's heart was shocked. She didn't expect the old lady to express her expectations of her so directly.

She raised her head and looked at the old lady, her eyes sparkling.

"Madam, don't worry. The emperor and my stepmother have been very kind to me. Shi Liu will do her best to serve the emperor, even if it means going through fire and water."

After hearing the ambiguous words from Li Shiliu, the old woman smiled instead. Her back, which had been deliberately straightened, softened again. She leaned back, found a comfortable position, and relaxed.

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, the old man looked at Li Shiliu, who was standing still in front of him, with satisfaction. His eyes seemed to look through Li Shiliu and into the void, at the old friends who had come and gone in the past few decades.

“Rou’er is my daughter and my only biological child.

When she was little, she was very cute, chubby, and she ate with great relish. I nicknamed her Rourou. Later, when she grew up, she became taller and slimmer. I didn’t like the nickname Rourou anymore, so I changed her name to Rouer..."

The thirsty old woman took a big sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then continued: "Rou Rou did not enter the palace voluntarily. In order to curry favor with Tong Guoan's boss, Tong Guoan tried his best to persuade his useless father to marry my precious daughter to his superior as his successor.

His boss is already over 30 years old. Although his original wife passed away, she left behind four children. The oldest is only one year younger than my baby Rourou.

snort!

Rather than letting my daughter marry such a man, it is better to let her enter the palace through selection."
