"Won't."
The emperor was resolute.
He really liked Li Jinan in the past. After all, he was the youngest among so many brothers, and he had taken care of him personally.
He even thought that if he had to adopt a child, he might as well adopt Li Jinan's child.
He was the only sibling he treated as his own brother. He looked down on other people's sons and was unwilling to adopt them.
It was precisely because this idea was so obvious that the Queen Mother noticed it so keenly.
However, the moment the emperor learned that he was Xu Lingyi's ex-husband, his feelings towards Li Jinan completely changed.
He could no longer treat him as a brother, but instead...he felt a bit more hostile towards him.
If the emperor had not retained his rationality and suppressed the hostility, it would have probably intensified.
He would not tell Xu Lingyi that he even wanted to attack Li Jinan, to kill him, so that she would never hear this name again.
"Li Jinan's mother hurt you, so I will not let her go. Even if he protects his mother and harbors resentment and estrangement towards me, I will not care."
"In my heart, ten Li Jin'ans are not as important as you. All my brothers and sisters combined are not as important as you. Even..."
The emperor paused.
"Even what?" Xu Lingyi asked softly.
The emperor leaned over to her ear and lowered his voice:
"Although this may sound outrageous, in my heart, my mother, who gave birth to me, is far less important than you."
"If the Queen Mother ever dares to attack you, causing you even the slightest harm, I will risk the wrath of the world and kill her."
"I will never be like my cowardly brother who couldn't even protect his own wife."
Xu Lingyi couldn't help laughing in her heart. The emperor had already stepped on Li Jinan.
She was so touched that she threw herself into the emperor's arms again and hugged his back tightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are so kind to me."
The emperor held her in his arms and said, "I will treat you better and make sure you never regret being with me."
She wouldn't think of Li Jin'an at all, and he was her only husband.
………
The Concubine Dowager chased Li Jinan to the capital, but she was old and her journey was slow.
The person sent by the emperor was originally going to Changshan and had been on the road for almost ten days.
But that day the secret guard came to inform that the concubine had just arrived in the capital.
"I am the mother of the King of Changshan. If you arrest me, have you considered the consequences?"
Before she could say something, the secret guards sent by the emperor knocked down all the guards on the concubine's side, and the concubine was also covered with her mouth and taken away.
"No, this is under the Emperor's feet..."
She struggled, but it was pointless.
Not only was the concubine arrested, but the commotion in the court has also become noticeably louder during this period of time.
The number of memorials impeaching the Cui family increased day by day, and the evidence presented against the Cui family was countless.
The emperor even discovered that the Cui family was plotting rebellion and had secret dealings with foreign enemies.
The Cui family deserves no regrets for dying in every case.
The emperor discovered in advance the rebels who were preparing to enter the city, and they were completely wiped out in just three days.
On this day, the emperor issued an order to execute the entire Cui family. The queen was spared but was demoted to a commoner.
On the day the imperial edict was issued, Li Jinan saw hope.
He was sharpening the machete he had prepared for months at his residence.
After his brother sends Cui Yu over, he will not let Cui Yu go and will make her taste the pain in his heart.
He planned to use this scimitar to peel off Cui Yu's skin, and also to use it to end his own life and his mother's life.
Li Jinan waited for two days, but there was still no news from the emperor. Even the entire Cui family was executed in these two days. He could even smell blood where he lived.
Li Jinan could no longer sit still and went into the palace to meet the emperor.
Cui Yu must die at his hands, otherwise he will die with regret.
"Your Majesty, the King of Changshan requests an audience."
The emperor was unhappy and looked at Liu Dehai with a colder look.
He didn't want Xu Lingyi to hear the three words "King of Changshan" in his ears, but this dog slave was completely unaware of it?
Liu Dehai also felt wronged. His Majesty had once given Prince Changshan a token to enter the palace, so the palace servants naturally let him in.
Now the prince is outside the palace. He wants to stop him, but can he?
King Changshan is no longer as elegant as before. He is now a little crazy and looks like he will not give up until he achieves his goal.
Liu Dehai was active in the palace, and when he met his eyes, he felt a little scared.
He realized that if he didn't go in to pass on the message, King Changshan would probably just break in.
He couldn't afford to offend a madman, and he knew that His Majesty would definitely not want the Queen to see King Changshan.
"Yier..." Before the emperor finished speaking, Xu Lingyi took the initiative to avoid him.
"Your Majesty, I will return to the inner palace first."
The emperor nodded, and seeing that she seemed to have no abnormality in her expression, he said, "Okay."
He felt relieved, thinking that Yier must have forgotten Li Jinan long ago.
Originally the emperor did not intend to name him Li Jinan, but he changed his mind.
"Send him in."
"Royal brother."
Hearing this title, the emperor couldn't help but frown.
The emperor looked at the man kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.
If it were the Li Jinan of the past, the emperor would still be worried.
After all, Li Jinan is ten years younger than him, so he is completely defeated in terms of age.
If he were a woman, he probably wouldn't like older men either.
But now, when he saw Li Jinan again, the jealousy in the emperor's heart dissipated a lot.
If I didn't want Xu Lingyi to see him again, or have anything to do with him.
He really wanted to let her know that Li Jinan was now older than he looked, and was not as good as him in terms of demeanor and appearance.
"Brother Emperor, you once promised to hand Cui Yu over to me."
Li Jinan spoke, his voice still hoarse.
He was on guard against other people and had great trust in his royal brother. His eyes were full of anticipation.
The emperor found it irritating to hear this. Even Li Jinan's voice was so unpleasant now, and he was far inferior to him.
He really didn't need to take him to heart.
"Brother An, Cui Yu is dead."
The emperor lied openly: "After she knew that I was going to hand her over to you, she hit herself against the wall and committed suicide. My men did not stop her."
"Now that the person is dead, your revenge has been taken. Forget all this and return to Changshan as soon as possible. It is inappropriate for you, a vassal king, to enter the capital without permission and remain in the capital."
The emperor just wanted to drive him away, and only spared his life because of their past brotherly love.
"Royal brother, is Cui Yu dead?"
Li Jinan captured the key information and he should have believed his brother's words.
After all, the emperor had never lied to him and had always treated him better than his other brothers.
He entered the capital without permission, but his brother the emperor not only did not pursue the matter, but also sent people to settle him down.
He was full of gratitude towards his royal brother. The moment the concubine harmed Xu Lingyi, Li Jinan no longer regarded her as his mother.
Now, my royal brother has become the only relative I care about in this world.
"But my royal brother, Cui Yu can't possibly commit suicide."
Li Jinan also understood Cui Yu. This hypocritical and vicious woman would never commit suicide easily.
She wouldn't bear to die.
