Liu Xian coughed twice before he finished speaking, then took a sip of the tea on the table, and then he breathed a sigh of relief...
Xing Bang saw it all, and although he remained calm and did not show much displeasure on his face, it was obvious from his coughing that he was dissatisfied and angry.
It is basically certain that Liu Xian was intentionally testing Li Lizhi's attitude. Just as Xing Bang guessed, Li Lizhi's answer did not satisfy him.
Also, Liu Xian was not unaware of Li Lizhi's attitude, but he still had to test it personally. No one could tell what the emperor was thinking, especially an emperor who was suspicious by nature.
Actually, from Xing Bang's point of view, it was just like taking off pants to fart...
"Li Zhi, I understand your thoughts, but I don't want to hear such words again."
"Father..."
Liu Xian no longer had the kindness he had just now. In Li Lizhi's heart, he had now turned into a suspicious and ruthless emperor.
Things had come to this point, Liu Xian had achieved his goal, so naturally he would not play mahjong anymore. Li Lizhi and Xing Bang had to leave.
However, when Xing Bang left, he and Wan Yanran exchanged glances. Her red lips moved slightly, as if she had something to say...
There was still some resentment in her expression, and Xing Bang thought he should find some time to have a good talk with her.
The hall was empty and the snacks and fruit plates had been cleared away. No one knew where Madam Fanghua, the Crown Prince, and Yudie had gone. Perhaps they had gone to accompany the Crown Prince to study.
Li Lizhi saw that there was no one in the hall and said lightly, "Come with me!" She was naturally in a bad mood because she hit a wall.
Xing Bang didn't say anything either, and the two of them came to the lake, where Li Lizhi often practiced sword.
"Little Korean, you are so brave that you dare to kick this princess..."
The two walked straight to the lake. Li Lizhi suddenly turned around and questioned her, although she knew in her heart that it was to remind her.
"Princess, this is a bit serious, isn't it? Is there a difference between glaring and kicking?"
"Tell me, why are you glaring at me with your feet..."
Li Lizhi rolled her eyes at him. It was indeed an inappropriate choice of words. This was a habit she developed in the army. She would just kick him directly.
"Unfortunately, Princess, you didn't listen to my advice either."
"Are you sure that I think the same as you?"
Li Lizhi asked back.
"Princess, no matter what we think, I can guess what you are going to say. And with your intelligence, it is impossible for you not to be wary and suspicious of your Majesty's words..."
"Well, considering your courage and carefulness, I will not mind you kicking me."
He's kicking me again. It looks like he can't change it in a short time.
I want to kick it, but it feels much better than kicking it...
"Thank you, Princess! I hope I didn't hurt you. If it did, I'll rub it for you to make amends!"
"Which one do you want to rub? This princess is not that delicate..."
Li Lizhi's tone was a little bit unruly but generous. Other women might have blushed, but she didn't. Instead, she was very casual.
Xing Bang admired her free and easy personality very much. She was not the tomboy type at all. Her purple palace dress showed off her graceful figure and her snow-white and rosy skin. She still looked so healthy.
"Princess, can you guess why His Majesty is testing you like this?"
"Because of the problem with the Southern Border Army, His Majesty has always been concerned about me. In addition, this time it was me who asked him to meet Madam Fanghua. He is a suspicious person by nature. Who knows what he thought of afterwards, so he used this excuse to test me. He also knew my thoughts. Maybe he is getting older and his mind is not as open as before, so he is becoming more and more suspicious."
Li Lizhi was indeed smart. In fact, after Liu Xian talked about the reward and punishment measures, she thought more about it.
"I think this is most likely the case, but Princess, you don't have to worry too much. It's not necessarily a bad thing. His Majesty is suspicious, and you just offended him. Who knows, he may think this is your true nature in the future...
In a word, it is impossible to get His Majesty a pardon by pleading. The emperor will never admit his mistakes, even if he releases Madam Fanghua. So let's not have this idea anymore. The best way is to defend. No matter what happens, it is the best policy to help Madam Fanghua solve her problems. "
Xing Bang has basically seen through Liu Xian's thoughts. The biggest problem is still due to physical reasons. He feels that he doesn't have much time left. Even if he still thinks of their old relationship, in order to prevent the disaster of "the son is young and the mother is strong, which will surely disrupt the government!", he will not let Madam Fanghua die after him.
So the question is, as long as Liu Xian dies and Lady Fanghua is not executed, she will naturally be preserved, and the most powerful preservers are Li Lizhi and the prince.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think deeply. Even if Madam Fanghua is gone, would Li Lizhi be a time bomb?
Liu Xian is very likely to think in this direction, but he will also have some judgments based on what he knows about Madam Fanghua and Li Lizhi. It is precisely because of these emotional ties that Liu Xian will be entangled...
Thinking in this way, Liu Xian's incredible actions are completely in line with his current state.
Xing Bang had considered this aspect, but there was no need to explain it to Li Lizhi, as it would only increase her burden and would not help at the moment.
Therefore, Xing Bang chose to appease the true-natured Li Lizhi, and he still admired her character to some extent.
"If there ever comes a day when I need to lead troops to war, this princess will really take you with me to the battlefield..."
Li Lizhi admired Xing Bang's keenness. He could see the essence of things from even the smallest details. Most importantly, he was very tactful in what he said and did. Isn't this a good military advisor?
"Princess, if you let a Taijia go to war, won't the enemy laugh at us, Dayao, for having no one?"
Xing Bang tested Li Lizhi jokingly.
"Wouldn't the world think that if an enemy country can't even defeat a eunuch, how can it have the dignity to live in this world?"
Li Lizhi chuckled.
Makes sense!
Xing Bang smiled slightly, "Princess, you are really quick-witted. I admire you. No wonder all the men in Nanchu are afraid of you!"
Unexpectedly, she resolved it without making any expression. It is hard to tell whether she knows her own identity or not.
"Haha, you know all this, so are you afraid of this princess?"
Li Lizhi doesn't like flatterers, but she is not annoyed at all by Xing Bang's compliments. To be honest, they are not as weird as he said.
I was really happy with what he said...
“Don’t be afraid!”
"Why? Do you think I am being gentle to you? When I return to the palace, even if I smile, the eunuchs will tremble with fear when they see me."
Li Lizhi said jokingly that she actually really liked the feeling of being feared, as it could not only save her from a lot of trouble, but also serve as a deterrent to protect the loved ones she cared about.
Xing Bang chuckled, "Princess, if I dare to kick someone, would I be afraid of her?"
