Chapter 450 Li Fei’s lies

The person who asked her to come to Daning Kingdom was Li Tianyang. Only Li Tianyang knew that she was a Chu State's detailed identity. As long as Li Tianyang died, her identity could be concealed.

After thinking for a long time, she stared at her pitiful eyes and said slowly with an innocent look on her face:

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Xi'er didn't know at first that those people were from Chu. I've been to Xi'er's Mansion several times during this period, but I didn't find any abnormalities in their identity. The reason why Xi'er took these people in Xi'er was entirely for you, the emperor."

Concubine Li's words made the emperor tighten his brows in confusion. He shouted loudly with a distorted expression.

"Is it possible that I asked him to keep the Chu people privately?"

Seeing this, Concubine Li continued to speak in tears.

"The emperor doesn't know that the Chu man Li Tianyang was a fool in Lijiazhuang, but one day he suddenly became less stupid and very smart. Xi'er accidentally heard about this and asked someone to inquire. As a result, he learned that Li Tianyang was possessed by a god, so he suddenly became enlightened. He could also make immortal pills. Xi'er knew that you were in poor health recently and wanted to get you a few such pills, so he allowed these people to live in Xiwang Mansion. But who would have thought that Xi'er was deceived by these people because of her eagerness to seek medicine. Your Majesty, you must be aware that Xi'er was wronged."

"All nonsense."

The emperor roared with a pale face and shook his sleeves.

"Hmph! It's been half a year, why didn't I even see a small medicine pill? How could you still say that you made for me the immortal pill, it's really outrageous."

Seeing the emperor getting angry, Concubine Li turned her eyes inadvertently for a few times, then lowered her head and replied:

"Have the emperor felt comfortable all over recently?"

Her words made the emperor stunned for a moment, and then he replied in a cold voice:

"What do you mean?"

Concubine Li finally boldly raised her head and looked at the emperor, and then replied softly in a grievanced voice:

"Your Majesty, the medicine you have recently taken was given to you by someone. These medicines were obtained by Xi'er from the people of Chu. If you don't believe me, please ask Eunuch Liu."

Just as the emperor turned to look at Liu Xi, he hurriedly bowed and replied:

"When the emperor said, what Li Niang said is true. You were in poor health some time ago and always coughed. Concubine Li sent some small pills, saying that she would let you eat and not let the slave tell you that she originally wanted to give you one, but when she saw that you became better after taking it, she simply gave it to you every day."

When Liu Xi said this, a shrewd and proud look flashed from the depths of Li Fei's eyes.

The emperor would not know that Concubine Li had already arranged this set of rhetoric. Those small pills were indeed given to her by Li Tianyang, but they were not nourishing pills, but medicines that can make people excited. Taking this medicine will consume people's energy and internal strength. Once they stop taking it, the person will be depressed until one day, the person will suddenly die. This is also the reason why Concubine Li refused to let Eunuch Liu tell the emperor. The unknown reason only knew that the emperor's mental state became better after taking this medicine, so he kept taking it to the emperor.

Of course, they had long-term plans for giving the emperor this medicine. They wanted the emperor to suddenly stop the medicine for Chu people before they attacked the capital, making him feel depressed, and then took the opportunity to kill him so that Leng Xi could take advantage of the chaos to ascend to the throne.

But she didn't expect that Xiao Lingzi and others would come back so quickly. Without their preparation, they would seal the Xi Palace overnight and trap all the Chu people there, which would disrupt the plan they had prepared.

The emperor looked at Concubine Li skeptically, and his face calmed down a lot before.

Concubine Li lowered her head and pondered for a while. She knew that the emperor had believed her words a little, so she struck while the iron was hot and continued to complain in tears:

"Your Majesty, Xi'er has been angry with you for worrying about the fact that he accidentally led the wolf into the house these days, and has been blaming himself. If he hadn't considered Xiaobao and the hundreds of people from the Xiwang Mansion, he would have had a desperate battle with the Chu people. In the past few days after being besieged by the Chu people, he had lost food and had lost a lot of weight. I feel very distressed when I look at it!"

At this point, Concubine Li actually raised the handkerchief in her hand, wiped her tears, and started crying ummy.

Looking at Concubine Li's face with pear blossoms, the emperor sighed and asked again:

"Then what is your relationship with the Chu people? How can you easily get close to the Chu people and kill him?"

The emperor's words made Concubine Li's face turn pale in an instant. Her body kept shaking a few times, and then her voice trembled and whimpered.

"Emperor, I... I am not familiar with the Chu people, but the Chu people said earlier that I look very similar to a woman he knows, so he gave me a chance to get close to him and give me a chance to kill him."

Although Concubine Li's explanation was a little pale and powerless, the emperor still nodded with a serious expression to express his belief.

At this moment, someone came to report it outside.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu is here."

Hearing these words, Concubine Li suddenly raised her handkerchief to cover her face and started crying.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Xier's family. The Chu people must not let go. They must let them know how serious the consequences of angering the royal people in the Daning Kingdom are. Let the people of the world know that the majesty of the royal people cannot be stepped on by others."

When the emperor saw her crying here, he raised his hand impatiently.

"Get out, I know."

Seeing that Leng Yu had already walked in, Concubine Li looked at him coldly and quietly retreated.

Although Concubine Li was not sure whether the emperor would believe what she said just now, the emperor's tone eased a lot, which also proved that the emperor had already believed most of it.

As for those Chu people, she expected that Leng Yu would release them out of the city, and the emperor would be furious and divert his sight. Then her temporary rhetoric can be temporarily confused.

Thinking of this, she whispered to the nanny beside her:

"As far as I say, go and pass the message to Prince Xi..."

In order to prevent the emperor from becoming suspicious again, she had to ensure that she and Leng Xi's words were consistent. Leng Xi must act like she was deceived by the Chu people and forced to do so. As long as she gets confused about this matter first, everything will be still in time.

Leng Yu came to the emperor and was about to bow and salute, the emperor couldn't wait to ask:

"Can the new king of Chu be controlled?"

Leng Yu replied directly with a calm expression:
Chapter completed!
