"..." Shi Wuqing's pupils shrank, and he took a half step back in disbelief: "How could you...what are you talking about? Why are you calling my dead sister's name?"
Hearing this, a trace of sarcasm flashed across Xiao Chi's eyes. For the sake of power, he was willing to claim that he was a dead person?
Readers, however, felt like they had been stabbed in the chest.
[My dead sister...yes, Qingqing has already considered herself dead.]
She never thought about living...
[Qingqing…]
"Oh? Princess, do you think Shi Wuqing is dead?"
Shi Wuqing denied: "It's not that I think so, but she is indeed dead."
"Then she really died a good death. A mere concubine's daughter, her body thrown into the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs after her death, isn't that too much?"
Xiao Chi smiled: "Is that so, Princess?"
Shi Wuqing said with a cold face: "Xiao Chi, what do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything, but Miss Shi has completely forgotten the promise she made to me. I'm very sad." He sat leisurely at the table, raised his glass and said:
"Sit down and have a drink. Maybe you can remember that promise. As long as you do it, I won't make things difficult for you."
Shi Wuqing clenched his palms for a long moment, then walked over, his voice trembling slightly: "You already know that I'm not Shi Shuling, right?"
Admitted it.
She admitted it voluntarily.
Because Xiao Chi's words clearly showed that he knew everything, it was useless for her to argue.
The comment section was filled with exclamation marks, as well as [nervous] and [excited].
Shi Wuqing didn’t know, but they knew that at this moment, there were two people behind the screen!
Shi Shuling and Qi Luan!
They heard every word Shi Wuqing said clearly.
…
One day ago.
"Your Highness, you should know that the Xiao family's stance can, without exaggeration, basically determine who will be the next emperor."
Outside the palace, Qi Luan was about to get on the carriage and leave when a gentle and clear voice suddenly came from behind him.
Qi Luan looked back coldly: "Xiao Chi, you are so bold to say that outside the palace."
Xiao Chi smiled faintly and walked closer to Qi Luan, "Your Highness, won't you invite me to get in the carriage and talk?"
"No need." Qi Luan refused without hesitation.
In fact, he knew that what Xiao Chi said made sense. The Xiao family was now very powerful, and no matter which side they stood on, it would be a huge help to either side.
He had the idea of seizing the throne, so naturally he also thought about winning over the Xiao family.
But no matter what I thought before, it is impossible now!
Because Shi Shuling was introduced to the emperor by Xiao Chi, the relationship between the two is obvious!
Shi Shuling and Shi Wuqing are natural opponents, so how could the Xiao family help him?
He doesn't need it either.
Even without the help of the Xiao family, he would not lose!
"The prince truly loves your princess deeply. Even though he knows what kind of rotten skeleton is beneath the beauty's skin, his feelings remain unshaken." Xiao Chi smiled.
Qi Luan's expression was grim.
Xiao Chi brushed past him and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe Xiao Ling's words, how about going to see a play with me after the morning court tomorrow?"
"what are you up to?"
"I don't do anything."
Xiao Chi strode away, leaving behind a sentence: "I just want the prince to see the truth with his own eyes."
If the emperor had not really eliminated Prince Qi's Mansion, the Shi family might have been in crisis. How could he still be talking nonsense with Qi Luan now?
Although Qi Luan was a little brainless when it came to Shi Wuqing's matter, Xiao Chi still had to believe in his abilities in other aspects.
The Xiao family seems to have absolute power, even being able to decide who will be the emperor. But if they choose the wrong side and let the other side win... that would be a disaster for the entire family.
Therefore, compared to the current incompetent emperor, the Xiao family's top leaders pay more attention to... Qi Luan.
Xiao Chi concealed his thoughts. Since Qi Luan didn't believe the truth Xiao Ling said, let him see it with his own eyes tomorrow.
Oh.
madness.
Qi Luan, who was standing behind him, looked at his back coldly, with an emotion in his phoenix eyes that only he could understand.
He could probably guess what Xiao Chi was going to do, and he also understood that the other party continued to help Shi Wuqing because he misunderstood that he did not trust Shi Shuling.
Qi Luan could stop Xiao Chi's actions, but...
"Aluan, don't, don't kill her!"
The girl's genuine panic emerged in his mind.
But……
He didn't understand why Shi Wuqing wanted to keep Shi Shuling.
Does she really hate her sister, or is there something else going on?
This is very important to Qi Luan.
It will directly determine whether he will win over the Xiao family or make preparations early... and eliminate the roots.
"Hongming," Qi Luan stood for a moment and gave an order: "Protect the princess in secret all day tomorrow."
"yes."
