Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 599: His Highness is a bit foolish

Jiang Ning took a bite of the three-fresh dumpling and mumbled, “Doesn’t the Crown Prince know where General Mu went?”

Acting so clueless.

Last night, who knows who dressed like a thief in a nightgown and sneaked into Mu Jian’s house.

And now they’re coming to her for someone.

Li Hongyuan glanced at Li Tingqian, “Xiaoqian, take some back to your room and eat it.”

The little eunuch following him quickly stepped forward, picked up a bowl of porridge, a plate of snacks, and two dishes with a tray.

Li Tingqian obediently followed the little eunuch out.

Huang Ying saw the situation and gestured to the several palace maids to leave with her.

Jiang Ning sat still, “Is the Crown Prince here to make trouble this early in the morning?”

“Answer my question. Where is Mu Jian?” Li Hongyuan repeated, “Don’t forget, your excuse for not returning to the palace yesterday was that Mu Jian got drunk and couldn’t escort you back. Now that you’re back today, where is Mu Jian?”

Jiang Ning put down her chopsticks, “It was too late yesterday, and I was afraid it would be unsafe on the road. Now it’s broad daylight, and there’s no danger, so I naturally came back.”

“You were afraid of the darkness not being safe?” Li Hongyuan tugged at his mouth, thinking of the scene he saw last night.

Ever since she suffered at the hands of the virtuous king, this woman has been like a snake-bitten person, always carrying Gucheng with her wherever she goes.

Gucheng was supposed to protect her, but now it seems to have backfired.

With Gucheng’s support, this woman has grown bolder and bolder.

Li Hongyuan asked, “I’ll ask you one more time, where is Mu Jian?”

“Mu Jian spent all night drinking and is still sleeping!” Jiang Ning replied.

“Is that so?”

“If the Crown Prince doesn’t believe me, you can go to the Jiang Family to check.” Jiang Ning said calmly.

“Your Jiang Family’s threshold is so high, which time have I been able to find the person back?” Li Hongyuan’s tone was somewhat sarcastic.

Jiang Ning chuckled, “In the past, you were the powerless Prince of Yu. Now you are the Crown Prince, gradually growing your wings. How can the Jiang Family dare to block your path?”

“Jiang Ning!” Li Hongyuan couldn’t take it anymore, “Don’t go around in circles with me. Tell me, why did you detain Mu Jian?”

“It’s the Crown Prince who’s playing dumb with me.” Jiang Ning leisurely enjoyed his frustration, “Aren’t you sure that Mu Jian is colluding with the Jiang Family? Then it’s normal for Mu Jian to be at the Jiang Family. I don’t know what the Crown Prince is in a hurry about.”

“Jiang Ning, do you think that in doing so, you are going to get the Jiang Family into an irrecoverable disaster? Have you ever thought about what would happen if Emperor Father knew about this?”

“I just think the emperor is not that stupid.”

“Are you calling me stupid?”

“You’re definitely not as smart as your dad.” Jiang Ning smiled, “The Crown Prince can’t deny that, can you?”

Li Hongyuan really couldn’t deny it.

Going around in circles, she’s still scolding him for being stupid.

Li Hongyuan sat down opposite her, his face serious, “So you just took Mu Jian without even talking to me?”

“Last night, didn’t we already do what we were supposed to do? The Crown Prince can’t pull up his pants and disown someone… Ahem,” Jiang Ning’s words slipped out unconsciously. Seeing Li Hongyuan’s weird expression, she quickly stopped herself, “I mean, since we both believe that Mu Jian is up to something, and the Crown Prince seems reluctant to interrogate him, let me do it. I won’t be soft on him.”

Li Hongyuan angrily said, “Won’t you scare the snake away like this!”

“Not at all. Mu Jian went to the Jiang Family openly, didn’t he? As long as the Crown Prince doesn’t publicize that fact, who would know that I detained Mu Jian?”
