Chapter 370 The Last Move
The next morning, Tianlu Hall.
After learning yesterday that Ning Yongnian was going to Yuanzhou, Wei Changtian speculated that the situation in Dafeng might be greatly shaken in the near future.
Fearing that something might happen if he delayed, he came to find Li Qi early in the morning and told him his plan.
“.”
"Your Majesty, that's it."
"The Queen's knot is now clear, and the Princess has done everything she could."
"If you want the queen to speak, you must go again."
"And you'd better give in."
Give in.
Although Wei Changtian did not say it directly, his meaning was very clear.
If Li Qi wants to completely "persuade" Yu Pingjun, then he must admit that he was wrong before.
Be it insincere or false.
He had to do this for the secret about Ning Yongnian and Bai Youheng.
If it were Wei Changtian, he would probably have no psychological burden in doing this.
However, for an emperor, admitting that he is wrong is undoubtedly a difficult thing.
What's more, he has to admit his mistake to a woman who cheated on him with her own hands, which would probably be an even more difficult hurdle to overcome.
"Master Wei, this method is useless."
Shaking his head, Li Qi slowly stood up from the desk, turned his back and said, "Yu Pingjun is thoughtful and knows my character very well. She won't believe it."
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because she is sure that you will not admit your mistakes that it will be more effective if you surrender now."
Wei Changtian was stunned, and quickly advised: "Even if it doesn't work, it's better than not trying at all!"
“.”
The morning sun came in through the window, and Wei Changtian received only silence in response.
Li Qi still turned his back and said nothing, and after a brief moment of surprise, Wei Changtian gradually understood why the former was so resistant.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness."
Frowning, Wei Changtian also stood up and said directly without hiding anything: "Perhaps you can't say this because of the majesty of the emperor, or maybe you can't say such words because of the dignity of a man."
"But in my opinion, no dignity or prestige is more important than finding out Ning Yongnian's conspiracy."
"Your Majesty, I just received news yesterday that Ning Yongnian suddenly left the capital for Yuanzhou the day before."
"I don't know why he went to Yuanzhou, but maybe it's related to what he is planning."
"Yes, the queen did something wrong to you before. If it were me, I would not be able to bear it either. I would have killed her with a knife a long time ago."
"So I can understand how you feel now."
"But you also have to know that you and I are different after all."
"To put it bluntly, if I commit a crime, the entire Wei family will bear the consequences for me, so it's okay for me to be a little willful."
"But you can't do that!"
"Because besides being a man, you are also the emperor of Dafeng!"
“.”
Boom! It was like a thunder exploding beside my ears.
The five words "Emperor of Dafeng" made Li Qi's slightly thin back shake suddenly.
Wei Changtian saw that this trick was effective, so he quickly stepped forward and continued:
"Your Majesty, Bai Youheng is missing now, and my spies around Ning Yongnian haven't found anything."
"Right now, the only person who knows about this conspiracy is the Queen, so we can only start with her."
"If this fails, no one can predict what will happen to Dafeng next."
"Your Majesty, to be honest, these things have nothing to do with me. I have done my best to do this."
"So I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to go see the Queen?"
"If you still don't want to see me, I will turn around and leave now, and I will never interfere in such trivial matters again."
"Nod if you like."
"That's all I have to say. I hope Your Majesty will consider it carefully before making a decision!"
“.”
After saying the last sentence, Wei Changtian stopped talking and just stared at Li Qi's back, waiting for the latter's answer.
He was not "threatening" Li Qi just now, but he really intended to do so.
After all, judging from the currently known information, Ning Yongnian's conspiracy is most likely aimed at the Yuanzhou battlefield, that is, at Dafeng, and has nothing to do with himself directly.
Although he would have a falling out with Ning Yongnian sooner or later, at least the window paper between them had not been completely broken yet.
Therefore, in recent days I have actually been completely "voluntarily helping".
Now that things have finally taken a turn for the better, Li Qi is still hesitant and is too concerned about his reputation to cooperate.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the king of a country and very likely to become his future father-in-law, Wei Changtian would have turned hostile and started cursing at him long ago.
Even if he suppressed his dissatisfaction and gave Li Qi another chance, this would be the last one.
As long as the latter shook his head, Wei Changtian would definitely turn around and leave immediately, and never get involved in this kind of mess again.
"call"
A breeze blew from afar, rustling the scale armor of the guards standing outside the Tianlu Palace, then passed through the gap in the palace door and gently ruffled Li Qi's robe.
The five-clawed golden dragon swam a few times as the corner of the clothes swayed, and then was gently pressed down by a palm.
Li Qi still didn't turn around, but after a long silence, he finally nodded slowly.
"Master Wei, I understand."
“.”
Damn, I finally got it!
Feeling relieved, Wei Changtian glanced at Li Qi's back again, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and casually placed it on the desk piled with memorials.
"Your Majesty, this piece of paper contains the words I have designed. You may want to take a look at it in advance."
"Besides, if you delay, something unexpected will happen. Since you have made up your mind, it is better to go see the Queen as soon as possible."
"Goodbye, kid."
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Wei Changtian knew that Li Qi would not listen to anything else at this point, so he simply bowed and turned around and walked out of the Tianlu Hall.
Outside the palace gate, the old eunuch who had been waiting here saw him come out, smiled and bowed and said:
"Master Wei, take care."
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded, and the next moment he suddenly reached out to stop the old eunuch who was about to enter the palace: "Eunuch Xu, let the emperor be alone for a while."
"ah?"
The old eunuch was stunned and wanted to ask the reason, but before he could open his mouth, Wei Changtian had already walked away.
"this"
Although the old eunuch was puzzled, he hesitated for a moment and did not enter the hall. He just glanced at the back of the person standing in front of the desk from a distance, and then slowly closed the door of the hall again.
"Snap"
After a slight noise, there was no further movement in the hall.
Li Qi stood there for a long time, and finally turned around when the sandalwood in the incense burner was about to go out.
He picked up the piece of rice paper with the words written on it, took a look at it, and then put it down again.
Li Qi understood why Wei Changtian gave him this piece of paper.
But how could I be speechless?
That's fine, let's make everything clear.
Then.
Those who deserve to live will live, and those who deserve to die will die.
