Chapter 084 Chapter 84

Furong was completely stunned when he heard these secrets of the past. He paused for a long time before he slowly spoke. His voice was hoarse and dry. He lowered his head and whispered with a guilty conscience: "If it weren't for my father, you and your mother would have died long ago. What else can you say? The one who killed your whole family was neither my father nor the people sent by my father. Why blame him? And why blame me?"

Li Qingshan sneered and sat beside him, staring at him. His eyes were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart. His voice was as cold as flowing water with a thin layer of ice floating on it in the autumn night: "My family saved your father. It's fine if he doesn't repay the favor. Just think that he forgot.

But if it weren't for him, my whole family would still be alive and well, and I wouldn't have to leave my hometown, I don't need to look like a beggar, so why should I ask him to lend me a hand? I would rather live the carefree life I had before. Do you think I left the mountains voluntarily? "

His voice was exceptionally calm.

Furong was so ashamed that her face flushed red. She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and whispered, "I didn't know anything about those things. Even if it was my father's fault, death is like a lamp going out. The past should be forgotten. Why did you take revenge on me? Haven't I been good enough to you these years?"

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Qingshan with a complicated expression and said, "I trusted you. I allowed you to bring a knife to the palace, allowed you to meet the king without bowing, made you the regent king, made you the prince's tutor, handed over my first son to you, and gave you the power to mobilize the imperial guards. And what did you give me? You made me a prisoner! You snatched my son! You humiliated me!"

"You are indeed very good to me," Li Qingshan smiled, "but have I ever treated you badly over the years? You have been

well-dressed and well-fed. When enemies invaded the border, I went to encourage their morale. When natural disasters struck, I went to provide disaster relief and distribute grain. When someone rebelled, I led the troops to suppress it. I have contributed to the peace in the world. Everyone in the capital praises your son for his intelligence and understanding. Do you think it is innate?"

"Even if it is not innate, if you were not the Prince's tutor, some people would still praise my son for his intelligence and understanding, because I was above everyone else at that time, and some people were willing to rush to compliment me." Furong lowered her eyes, avoiding the topic of things that were beyond reproach, and spoke calmly.

"You also know it's a compliment," Li Qingshan sneered disdainfully, "Sincere envy and false compliments, which one do you prefer?"

Furong was silent for a while and said, "That's not the reason why you treat me like this."

"Then let me tell you something else," Li Qingshan said with a cold face and contempt, "At the beginning, before your father died, he called me to his side, not to let me be your regent, but to give me a cup of poisoned wine, asking me to drink it in front of him before he died and be buried with him. He said he couldn't bear to leave me."

Li Qingshan's lips curled up with a mocking smile: "He couldn't bear to leave me, but I couldn't bear to leave this great world. I personally sent him to death.

He was very surprised and immediately asked the people around him to take me down, but he didn't know that the people around him had been replaced by me, so no one listened to him.

They all stood by with their heads down, as if they were dead, unable to hear anything and unable to do anything, and he fainted in anger.

You also know his body at the time. After he fainted, he was barely breathing. I only had to wait a little longer and he would have died."

"So you just watched him die without helping?" Furong looked at Li Qingshan and asked.

"No," Li Qingshan shook his head slightly, "I poured the poisoned wine into him while he was unconscious, and he died suddenly after drinking it, without even showing any symptoms of the poison."

A subtle crazy smile appeared on his face: "Isn't this good?"

"You are really a lunatic!" Furong stared at him in shock and anger, feeling a surge of fear in her heart, trembling, and shouting

at the top of her lungs. Li Qingshan looked at him expressionlessly.

Furong whispered, "You are so terrible!"

He was in great pain, closed his eyes, and murmured to himself, "I should have seen it earlier."

Li Qingshan stood up slowly and said, "Yes, you should have known these things earlier, but I kept it from you for so long. I didn't expect that you really didn't even check the slightest clue."

He sneered, "Everyone says that you are scheming, and they make me watch out for you giving up military power over a cup of wine. I worry for you that one day you will suddenly give orders. , you think you know something and push me to be a shield.

I think your head looks good on my neck."

Furong's face immediately turned red, and she glared at him and said angrily: "Shut up!"

Furong gritted her teeth: "The thing I regret most in my life is trusting you!"

Li Qingshan was rarely playful, and his voice was light: "It's too late!"

Furong closed her eyes and didn't want to look at him again, fearing that she might be angry to death.

Li Qingshan turned around, faced Wenqu, pressed his shoulder and said: "Don't tell anyone anything you heard here today, understand? If I know that someone outside said these things, I will chop off your head."

Wenqu's body stiffened and he nodded quickly.

"Good boy," Li Qingshan said with satisfaction, patting his head, "I'll take you out."

He was about to leave, and Wen Qu followed him to the door hesitantly, whispering, "What about my father?"

"Don't worry," Li Qingshan said, gently pushing the door open, "For your sake, I will let him live, but if you don't listen, I can't do anything."

Wen Qu quickly grabbed Li Qingshan's clothes and whispered, "I will definitely listen!"

Li Qingshan nodded, pulled him out, closed the door, and looked to the side.

Wen Qu whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Li Qingshan replied with a smile, "It seems that three disobedient little wild cats ran into the bushes."

Before he finished speaking, the bushes were trembling.

Wen Qu's eyes lit up and asked, "Wild cats? I like them! Can I catch them now?"

He looked at Li Qingshan cautiously.

Li Qingshan replied expressionlessly: "No, you can't stay here for too long. Many people will worry about you. If you like cats, I'll have someone send you one someday."

Wenqu's heart tightened and relaxed. He didn't dare to delay and was anxious to run away. He felt very pressured to stay with Li Qingshan, so he nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll go back now."

After Li Qingshan sent Wenqu away, he turned around and left.

The three people in the bushes who had been concentrating on their thoughts slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally he left! I thought he was going to stay overnight. I was scared to death." Guiyuan patted his chest and panted.

"Come on, you are so timid," the ghost said with a smile, "If he stands there for a little longer, you will pass out."

Guiyuan stared, blushing with anger, and stammered, "I'm not that timid!"

The ghost nodded, couldn't help but smiled and said, "I know, I know."

"Why don't you say anything?" Guiyuan tried to change the subject and asked Taiming who was standing next to her.

The ghost was stunned for a moment. Why else would she not say anything?

She must have seen the person she cared about have a good relationship with someone else, and she felt unbalanced and needed to adjust! You still rushed to ask? You

are amazing! Number one in not knowing how to read the atmosphere!

Taiming lowered his eyes and said, "You all heard what I said just now. I think something else might happen here tonight. I want to stay here and listen tonight. I want to know what will happen next."

"Okay, okay!" Guiyuan didn't understand at all. What was wrong, and didn't know what would happen next. She just clapped her hands happily like a sunny and cheerful rainbow horse: "Then let's come again tonight!"

The female ghost couldn't help but cover her face. What others want to see is not the same as what you want to see. You don't even know the specific situation, and you still dare to agree. What are you doing? Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?

Guiyuan asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

The ghost put down her hand and showed a sad expression, then smiled slowly: "Nothing."

Then, the ghost looked at Guiyuan with a meaningful and somewhat pitiful look and said: "You will be amazed tonight."

Guiyuan really didn't understand what the ghost was saying, but after hearing this, he nodded happily: "Great! I like to see the excitement!"

The ghost felt that he didn't understand a word, shook his head and said nothing more.

Li Qingshan went to Yu's study, summoned all the ministers, and found a group of eunuchs. When they were all present, he said to them: "Didn't you always say that without a prince, the country would be unstable?"

An old minister bowed and asked: "Your Majesty means that you are planning to establish a prince?"

"Yes." Li Qingshan nodded.

"Then may I ask where the prince is?" the old minister asked again.

"The crown prince is the rightful heir," Li Qingshan raised his lips slightly, "I don't plan to appoint another one."

Everyone was shocked.

The old ministers immediately shouted, "No, no, Your Majesty! This is absolutely not possible! How can the son of the previous emperor be the crown prince? This is against the rules! This is not polite!"

The young ministers who supported the regent king before also said, "Yes! If you let him become the crown prince, I'm afraid some people will be eager to make a move, mistakenly thinking that there is a chance to start over, and your foundation will be unstable!"

The burly general nodded and said, "Letting the original crown prince become the crown prince is easy to cause war, and I don't agree with it."

Everyone objected.

Li Qingshan waited quietly for them to finish.

The last person to come out was the Imperial Master: "Before I came here, I read a fortune telling. The fortune telling showed that if you insist on doing this, the royal bloodline will be tainted. Do you want to see the royal bloodline impure?"

Li Qingshan looked at him with a half-smile and extremely contemptuous expression: "Before me, the royal bloodline had nothing to do with me. After me, what does it matter if it has anything to do with me?"

Everyone was surprised that he would say such a thing.

After a long time, the old minister trembled and said: "What a sin!"
