The hope was in vain, and the light in Hua Manman's eyes quickly dimmed.

But Mr. Du had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Since the opponent is not from the imperial court, it means that the opponent is not necessarily an enemy.

He can try to persuade the other party and pull the other party into his camp.

But because Li Xun was drugged, Mr. Du knew that the other party had a bad impression of him, so he didn't speak rashly to express his intentions, but chose to hold back for the time being, planning to wait for the other party's anger to dissipate, and then look for opportunities to talk to him. The other party talks about cooperation.

Although Li Liao didn't want to send flowers back, he let someone untie the rope on her body.

Hua Manman rubbed his wrist that was red from the wear of the rope, and looked towards Li Xun.

Li Xun was wrapped in a cloak, only revealing a small pale face.

Seeing Hua Manman's heart aches.

A young man named Ayi came in with a basket of baked naan.

"General, it's time for breakfast."

It's inconvenient to cook in the wilderness, so all they eat is dry food.

The naan is baked until the skin is golden, and some white sesame seeds are sprinkled on it, which makes it very crispy when viewed from a distance.

Li Liao casually picked up a baked naan and threw it to Hua Manman.

Then he picked up another baked naan, tore off a small piece, and handed it to Li Xun's mouth.

But Li Xun refused to eat, and just kept calling his mother.

Li Liao had no choice but to talk to Hua Manman.

"You feed him."

Hua Manman's attention was always on the child, and when she saw what the general said, she immediately leaned over.

"Goddamn, mother is here."

Hearing her voice, Li Xun's half-open eyes immediately widened.

He tried his best to lean in the direction of his mother, humming softly.

"Mom, I'm not feeling well."

Hua Manman hugged the child into her arms, and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, the doctor said, you will get better soon."

Li Xun felt his mother's breath, and his spirit gradually relaxed.

The baked naan is too hard, which is fine for adults, but for a child like Li Xun, it's a bit difficult to eat, especially Li Xun is still very weak at the moment, and it's even more unsuitable to eat this kind of hard food.

Hua Manman made a request to Li Liao.

"General, can I have a bowl of hot water?"

Li Liao glanced at Ah Yi.

Ah Yi ran out immediately, and soon brought back a bowl of hot water.

Hua Manman soaked the torn roasted naan in hot water, and then fed it to Li Xun bit by bit after the roasted naan was softened.

Li Xun did not resist this time.

He opened his mouth obediently, and ate the food his mother fed.

When he was almost done eating, Hua Manman ate his own.

Li Liao observed Hua Manman's actions while eating the naan.

He could tell that Hua Manman genuinely cared for Li Xun, not just pretending, and Li Xun was also very dependent on Hua Manman, as if they were a real mother and son.

But Li Liao sent someone to inquire. Li Xun's biological mother was the regent princess, who had passed away five years ago.

Since they are not biological mother and child, why does Hua Manman care so much about Li Xun?

Is it really just because she is kind?

Li Liao intuitively felt that this matter was not simple.

He ate the remaining baked naan in two or three bites, picked up the water bag beside him, and poured two big mouthfuls of water with his head raised.

The air is filled with the smell of roasted naan.

After traveling all night, Mr. Du was already hungry, and now he smelled the aroma, he was even more hungry.

He looked at the bamboo basket containing the baked naan without blinking, and swallowed involuntarily.

Li Liao turned a blind eye to this.

He put down the water bag, looked at Hua Manman and asked.

"You just said that you are not the eldest son of Prince Yu's Mansion, so who are you?"

Hua Manman has already made a quick calculation in her heart.

These people suddenly took them away, and the first thing they said after they met was to ask if she was the eldest son of Prince Yu's Mansion?

This shows that they should have come for Prince Yu's Mansion.

As long as she shows that she is not from Prince Yu's Mansion, and puts aside her relationship with Prince Yu's Mansion, she may be let off by the other party.

"My name is Hua Manman, and I have lived in seclusion in the mountains with my master since I was a child.

I didn't go out of the mountain until not long ago, but I was accidentally injured by a man riding a horse as soon as I came out of the mountain. "

When she said this, she couldn't help but show a look of indignation, and said bitterly.

"The person who hurt me is the Prince Yu's Mansion!

She fell down the hillside, hit her head on a rock, and succumbed to her injuries.

I regret her death, but what does that have to do with me?

I was hit by her, she should be responsible, I belong to the victim!

But the people from Yuwangfu took me back to the Wangfu and put me under house arrest while I was seriously injured and unconscious.

Yu Wang also forced me to take the place of Yu Wang's son.

If I don't agree, he will kill me.

Tell me, how can there be such an unreasonable person in the world? !

I am a weak woman with no one to rely on, so I can only make false claims with them.

Fortunately, the Prince Regent was willing to believe me after he knew the truth, and was willing to help me escape from the clutches of Prince Yu's Mansion. "

Mr. Du smiled coolly.

"Oh, it's clear that you have taken a fancy to the position of Prince Yu's son and deliberately pretended to be Yu Wang's son. You also deliberately colluded with the regent to plot against the fiefdom and property of Prince Yu's mansion!"

Hua Manman looked at him, knowing that this guy was deliberately making trouble for her.

She didn't argue with the other party, she just said aggrievedly.

"You say yes, anyway, I'm just a weak woman, I can't win a fight, I can't say it, so I can only let you splash dirty water."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head away and let out a sob.

It looked really pitiful.

Mr. Du couldn't laugh anymore.

The woman was still fighting with him in the carriage last night, and kicked him in the stomach, which was still black and blue up to now.

She actually has the nerve to say that she can't beat him? !

He said angrily: "If you have the ability to take off my clothes, look at my stomach and say it again!"

Hua Manman seemed to be humiliated, and her body trembled.

"You, why are you so slutty? I don't want to look at your body!"

Mr. Du: "..."

His face turned from white to blue, and then from blue to red, like a kaleidoscope of changes, so wonderful.

Li Liao coughed lightly and comforted him.

"Don't be afraid, anyway, King Yu is not long to live. Once King Yu dies, no one will be able to threaten you anymore."

Mr. Du was shocked when he heard this.

This person actually knows all about the affairs in Prince Yu's mansion.

Hua Manman pretended to be comforted, and said in a low voice, "This is retribution for King Yu."

Then she heard Li Liao continue talking.

"Since you have a grudge against King Yu, you must be willing to help with the next matter."

Hua Manman looked at him blankly: "What does the general want me to do?"

Li Liao: "I originally thought you were Lu Man, and I wanted to send you back to Longdong County to inherit the throne. Now, although your identity has changed, the plan can still proceed as usual."
