"If I surrender at this time, your highness...will you let me live a life?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Rengui's gray eyebrows moved, and his aura disappeared, like an old man in his twilight eyes with a hint of prayer.

"Tell me, why did you kill the orphan?"

Li Hong's face was extremely cold and his tone was not emotional at all.

But the mockery between the eyebrows became more and more intense. At this point, Liu Rengui still wanted to use these methods. Could it be that he was a three-year-old child?

If he could give up his power and only seek a way out, then he would not have risen up in a blatant way!

"Did Li Xian tell you?"

Liu Rengui's face was full of grayness, but his voice was unexpectedly calm.

Li Hong didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Until the latter sighed slightly, his face suddenly became ferocious.

"Because you deserve to die! If you don't die, how can the Empress control the world? If the Empress cannot control the world, what will we do?"

Li Hong was stunned for a moment. What was the relationship between this matter and Empress Wu? Moreover, if he followed this logic, wouldn’t he support Li Xian be the same?

"Your Highness must be thinking, since I want the Queen to take power, how could she assist Li Xian?"

It seemed that he was very satisfied with Li Hong's surprise performance. Or maybe it was because these things had been held in his heart for too long, so he had already wanted to vomit it!

"You are different from Li Xian. Your momentum is too strong. You have been in charge of the Eastern Palace for more than ten years. Your qualifications, prestige, ability and reputation are far above that of Li Xian. Have you ever known that Your Majesty has been intentionally asking you to supervise the court affairs on behalf of the Empress. It's me! And the Yi Mansion! We two took countless efforts to persuade the Empress to not delegate power!"

At this moment, Liu Rengui was already a little sickly and crazy, his voice was hoarse, and his mind was floating to nowhere.

"Why do you do this? Just because it may pose a threat to you after the orphan inheritance of the throne?"

Li Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression was extremely calm.

"Not possible! It's certain!"

Liu Rengui sneered, and his eyes looked at Li Hong were full of complexity.

"You are completely hopeless. What the corruption scholars of Dai Zhide taught you since childhood will make you feel no mercy on us. Once the Empress falls, all of us who depend on her will have no good end! We have put so much effort to help her get to the top, and we just want to retreat so easily. Where should we place us?"

Li Hong's face was cold and he did not comment on these words.

But he knew in his heart that Liu Rengui's words were correct. Not to mention the emperor and his ministers, Li Hong would not let them go in recent years, Li Yifu and Liu Rengui colluded to commit crimes, selling official positions and smuggling people, and smuggling them one by one!

"So we can only kill you!"

Liu Rengui's face was red and his expression was crazy, but his eyes were unexpectedly calm, and even a hint of doubt.

"But I don't understand why? Why is the plan in Luoyang Palace so perfect. As long as you die, the Queen will hide all the traces, because she has lost one son and will no longer want to lose another son. Once the split seeds are planted, they will take root and sprout one day. At that time, she can only rely on us! But why don't you die? Why?"

The voice was approaching his roar, and Liu Rengui's face became more and more painful.

Why?

Li Hong smiled bitterly, how could he know!

So that's the case. Although Liu Rengui's preface was inconsistent with the latter, he already understood that Li Xian's idiot really didn't know that he was being used as a gun until he died!

What can Empress Wu do if a son kills another son for the position of prince?

What else can she do besides pressing things?

It is not that easy to push your son to the guillotine with your own hands!

Li Hong can imagine that even if their plan succeeds, Li Xian will become the next victim soon. Just like he is now, he is misunderstood after misunderstanding, and is getting further and further apart from the Martial Arts Queen, and finally... the last bit of family affection in his heart is destroyed!

“What a perfect plan!”

Almost word by word, squeezed out this sentence from the teeth, and a murderous intent suddenly rose on Li Hong's body!
