It was Li Tianyang who made her come to Daning country at the beginning, and only Li Tianyang knew that she was the secret agent of Chu country. As long as Li Tianyang died, her identity could be concealed.

After thinking for a long time, she stared at a pair of lovely and pitiful eyes, and said slowly with an innocent face:

"Your Majesty, as far as my concubine knows, Xi'er didn't know that those people were from the state of Chu at first, and my concubine also went to Xi's mansion several times during this period, and didn't find anything unusual about their identities. The reason why Xi'er took them in These people live in Prince Xi's Mansion entirely for the sake of you, the Emperor."

Concubine Li's words made the emperor frowned in confusion, and he shouted angrily with a distorted expression,

"Nonsense, could it be that I asked him to keep the Chu people privately?"

Seeing this, Concubine Li continued to speak in tears,

"Your majesty doesn't know that Li Tianyang from Chu State was originally a fool in Lijiazhuang, but one day he suddenly became not stupid, and he was also very smart. Xi'er heard about this incident by chance, so he asked someone to inquire about it. After a while, it turned out that this Li Tianyang was possessed by a god, that's why he suddenly became enlightened, and he can also make immortality pills. Xi'er knows that you are not in good health recently, and wants to get you some of these pills Taking pills, that’s why these people are allowed to live in King Xi’s mansion for a while, but who would have thought that Xi’er was deceived by these Chu people because of his eagerness to ask for medicine, your majesty, you have to check clearly, Xi’er was wronged.”

"A bunch of nonsense."

The emperor shook his sleeves with a livid face and roared angrily,

"Hmph! It's been half a year, why haven't I seen even a small pill? You dare to say what kind of immortality pill you made for me, it's really unreasonable."

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

"Does the emperor feel refreshed recently?"

Her words made the emperor stunned for a moment, and then he replied coldly:

"What do you mean by that?"

Concubine Li finally boldly raised her head to look at the emperor, and then softly replied in a wronged voice:

"Your Majesty, the medicine you drank recently was brought to you by order of my concubine. Xi'er got these medicines from the Chu people. If you don't believe me, ask Eunuch Liu."

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

"Returning to the emperor, what Empress Li said is true. You were not in good health some time ago, and you kept coughing. Concubine Li sent some small pills, saying that they are for you to eat, and don't let the servant tell you. I wanted to give you one to try, but seeing that your mental state improved after eating, the servant simply gave you one every day."

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

The emperor would not know that Concubine Li had already prepared this set of rhetoric. Those small pills were indeed given to her by Li Tianyang, but they were not nourishing pills, but medicines that could make people feel excited. This kind of medicine will consume one's energy and internal energy. Once one stops taking it, one will be depressed. Until one day, this person will suddenly die suddenly. This is why Concubine Li did not let Eunuch Liu tell the emperor. I don't know why Eunuch Liu only knew that the emperor's mental state improved after taking the medicine, so he kept taking it for the emperor.

Of course, they had a long-term plan for giving the emperor this medicine. They wanted the emperor to stop the medicine suddenly before the Chu people invaded the capital, so that he would be depressed, and then took the opportunity to kill him, so that Lengxi could Take advantage of the chaos to ascend to the throne.

It's just that she didn't expect that Xiao Lingzi and others would come back so soon, and without them being prepared, they would seal the Xi Palace overnight and trap all the people of Chu State there. Plans were disrupted.

The emperor looked at Concubine Li suspiciously, his face was much calmer than before.

Concubine Li lowered her head and pondered for a while, she knew that the emperor believed her words to a certain extent, so she struck while the iron was hot, and continued to complain with tears like rain:

"Your Majesty, Xi'er has been blaming himself for worrying about making you angry that he accidentally lured wolves into the house. If he hadn't considered Xiaobao and the hundreds of people in the Xi Palace, he would have fought to the death with the Chu people long ago. , During the past few days when he was besieged by the people of Chu, he didn't think about eating and drinking, and he had already lost a lot of weight, the concubine looked very distressed!"

Speaking of this, Concubine Li actually raised the handkerchief in her hand, wiped her tears, and began to cry.

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

"Then what is your relationship with that Chu man? How did you get close to that Chu man so easily 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 she sobbed tremblingly,

"Your majesty, my concubine...the concubine is not familiar with the man from Chu, but the man from Chu said earlier that I look very similar to a woman he knew, so he gave the concubine a chance to get close to him , and let the concubine have a chance to kill him."

Although Concubine Li's explanation was somewhat weak, the emperor still nodded solemnly to express his belief.

At this moment, someone outside came to report,

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu is here."

Hearing these words, Concubine Li suddenly raised her handkerchief to cover her face and began to cry,

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of Xi'er's family. The Chu people must not let them go. They must let them know how serious the consequences of angering the royal family of Daning Kingdom are. Let the world know that the majesty of the royal family You can’t let anyone step on you.”

Seeing her crying here, the emperor waved his hands impatiently,

"Back off, I know."

Seeing that Leng Yu had already walked in, Concubine Li gave him a cold look, and quietly retreated.

Although Concubine Li was not sure whether the emperor would believe what she just said, but the emperor's tone eased a lot, which also proved that the emperor 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 because of this, and thus divert his attention. Then her improvised rhetoric can be temporarily fooled.

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

"According to what I said, go and send a message to Prince Xi..."

In order to prevent the emperor from being suspicious again, she must ensure that she agrees with Lengxi's words. She must make Lengxi act as if she was deceived by the Chu people and forced to be helpless. As long as this matter is confused first, Everything is still in time.

Leng Yu came in front of the emperor, just about to bow to salute, the emperor couldn't wait to ask:

"Can you control the new king of Chu?"

Leng Yu replied directly with a calm expression:

"No, my son let them out of the city."
