What do you want to do?
Shang Tian looked at her coldly and said, "Xiao Lin said that you killed my father, is that true or not?"
The murderous intent in his eyes frightened Su Xin so much that she retreated repeatedly until she hid behind Fu Liu before stopping.
Seeing how much hatred she felt, Fu Liu thought, "Isn't she using me as a target?"
"Please show some respect, young master. Our lady has not left the palace since she entered it."
Just because you've never been outside doesn't mean you can't order others around.
His knife cut into Xiao Lin's skin. "I didn't ask you to speak."
Xiao Lin glared at Fu Liu with hatred and said, "He asked the Empress, not you. What did you say?"
He felt the blood flowing down his neck, soaking his clothes.
It hurts, but it doesn't hurt that much.
As an emperor, he suffered countless injuries.
Knowing she couldn't avoid it, Su Xin hid behind Fu Liu and said, "How could I, an orphan, possibly order someone to kill your father?"
Although she hated him, she had no one else to rely on, otherwise Su Qian wouldn't have survived to this day.
Having received the answer, Shang Tian nodded slightly and asked Xiao Lin, "Did you hear what she said?"
If it's not Su Xin, then it must be Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin glared coldly at Su Xin, "How dare you lie?"
The person who came up with this idea is related to Su Xin.
Su Xin dared not look at Xiao Lin, and only said mournfully, "How could I dare to lie? I have been in the palace for a year, and I have only survived because of Your Majesty's protection."
"Although I hate Su Qian, it is only her alone, and I cannot let go of it."
How pathetic it is for a man to make a woman take the blame.
Shang Tian didn't entirely believe her words. People's hearts are unpredictable. If you can understand people's hearts, why worry about not having anyone to use?
Xiao Lin was furious, his neck still bleeding from the knife.
Over time, although he will not die from serious injuries, he will die from excessive blood loss.
Thinking of this, his gaze toward Su Xin grew even colder. "Dare you say it wasn't you who came up with this idea for me?"
If she hadn't mentioned him, how would he have thought of such a family?
They're just a few bandits from some remote, impoverished area. We can deal with them slowly after we've eliminated the zombies.
"Does Your Majesty feel any guilt about saying such a thing?"
She watched coldly as Xiao Lin, in order to save his own life, disregarded all pretense and tore off all pretense of civility. She couldn't help but sneer. If her family were powerful, would Xiao Lin dare to treat her like this?
She took a deep breath and said, "If Your Majesty wishes for my death, I will have no objection."
"I beg Your Majesty, for the sake of our more than a year of marriage, not to let me die in such a humiliating way."
Xiao Lin sneered as he watched Su Xin's words carefully set a trap for him. Ignoring Su Xin, he said to Shang Tian, "Now that she has admitted it, can you let me go?"
"She came up with the idea, and you carried it out. Very well done." His hand gripping the knife tightened involuntarily. If the hilt hadn't been made of black iron, it would probably have been reduced to dust by now.
Xiao Lin was in turmoil. "What do you want?" No matter who it is, it is difficult to control emotions when facing life and death.
Survival is an innate instinct of living beings.
"I told you, what do you have?"
He cannot kill anyone yet; he cannot put the prime minister in power now, as he has not yet grasped the situation in Songdu.
But robbing someone would be a good idea.
"Jizhou, Linhai City, the Li clan all belong to you."
Shang Tian sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
The Li clan has always been xenophobic and protective of its own, and they are even more united at times like this. If he were to take over now, it would bring him no benefit whatsoever.
