Upon hearing this, Li Si couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if he were listening to a hilarious joke.
Ying Ziying, who was standing to the side, was also laughing loudly, as if everything Li Lin said was just something he made up afterward based on what had already happened.
"Hehe, you can laugh all you want now, but you won't be laughing in a little while!"
"Li Lin, why don't you continue to explain why you've been locked up in front of me? Stop trying to intimidate me with these gimmicks. I'm not easily frightened."
"Alright, then I'll let you die knowing the truth! In order to avoid the tragedy of Han Fei, I mentioned this point in the third note I left for Manyin, encouraging those people to report me for plotting a rebellion, and even having Fusu lead the charge. In this way, you won't suspect that this is a play I directed and acted in myself, and then you won't miss the opportunity and immediately join the ranks of those attacking me, until His Majesty determines my crimes and punishments."
"You finally let your guard down, and then you let me out of Jiujiang Prison and back to Xianyang City. That's how I survived and ended up in this Imperial Prison, facing you face to face."

Li Si clapped his hands and praised, "Brilliant! Truly exquisite! It's a pity you weren't as clever as you're portraying yourself to be. His Majesty's decree to execute you was backed up.

"What?"
He was taken aback.
"Let me ask you one question: Did you kill Han Fei?"
"That's right, I killed him. But it's ridiculous for you to infer my character from that."
"Yes, it's laughable. It's laughable that I didn't see your true colors sooner. It turns out that what Li Lin told me was true. You really did kill Han Fei!"
"What? Your Majesty..."
Li Si's smug expression instantly turned into one of fear and unease. Looking at the First Emperor's extremely majestic face, he immediately trembled with fear and collapsed to the ground.
