318 Anfen, Li Xiang's evil plan
Feng Qingchen had been hanging there in a lifeless state, wearing out everyone's patience. In the first half month, some people still remembered her name and talked about Feng Qingchen, this ill-fated beauty, from time to time.
The wife of Marquis Jinyang and the wife of Duke Ningguo went to the palace several times to ask the Queen to let them go to the Feng Residence to see Feng Qingchen, but they were all rejected.
Anping, Yaohua and Su Wan would occasionally speak of Feng Qingchen in a sympathetic tone. Although Feng Qingchen was not active in the imperial city, this name was always active in everyone's ears.
But in the second half of the month, no one remembered Feng Qingchen anymore, because the emperor's birthday had arrived, and everyone, whether they were well-behaved or not, had to behave themselves on the surface so as not to violate the emperor's taboos.
The princes whose fiefdoms are outside the city can only return to the imperial city at this time of the year, and can only stay in the imperial city for one month each year. According to previous practice, they return to the imperial city and make friends with the ministers in private in order to understand the developments in the imperial city.
In the past, the emperor always turned a blind eye, but this year, even if the emperor turned a blind eye, the princes did not dare to act rashly.
The second prince, Prince Yong, the third prince, Prince Heng, the fourth prince, Prince Qi, the fifth prince, Prince Zhou, and the sixth prince, Prince Qing, who was stationed at the border of Xiling, were as obedient as kittens before they even arrived at the imperial city. They rarely went out, let alone making friends with the ministers. After arriving in the capital, they stayed indoors except to go to the palace to see the emperor.
The emperor was very satisfied with the princes being so obedient, and was very kind to them. The princes accepted it on the surface, and behaved cautiously and humbly, but in their hearts they cursed Feng Qingchen half to death. Feng Qingchen was using them as a springboard to curry favor with the emperor.
Before he knew it, Feng Qingchen had become the public enemy of all the princes.
Li Xiang had been well fed and well nourished, and was in good spirits. However, his wound was very strange. Every time it was about to heal, it would split open the next day, and it kept happening over and over again. Li Xiang could only say a few simple words until now.
"Quacks, a bunch of quacks." Li Xiang's injury took a long time to heal, and he threw things in the palace to vent his anger. This matter reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor called Sun Zhengdao to give him a scolding.
"Doctor Sun, what's the matter with Li Xiang's injury?" The emperor knew that Sun Zhengdao and Feng Qingchen had a close personal relationship, but he also knew that Sun Zhengdao was a decent person with excellent medical skills. Besides, Sun Zhengdao and Li Xiang had no personal grudges, so how could he make things difficult for Li Xiang?
When Sun Zhengdao wasn't smiling, his face was serious enough. When he had a bitter face, his expression was even more serious: "Your Majesty, I really don't know how Young Master Li's injury is. Every time he is about to get better, the wound will split open. Although there is no worry about his life, I don't know when Young Master Li's injury will heal."
Sun Zhengdao's eyes were pure, and he did not dodge or avoid the emperor's pressure and scrutiny.
He treated Li Xiang wholeheartedly and did not do anything shady. Everything he did could withstand a thorough investigation by the emperor, and he had a clear conscience.
The emperor trusted Sun Zhengdao, but he also sent people to investigate privately. It was true that Sun Zhengdao did not lie. He had been trying his best to treat Li Xiang's injuries, but Li Xiang's injuries just wouldn't heal. The emperor was also a rogue.
"Doctor Sun, please find another doctor who is proficient in external injuries to see Li Xiang. I want him to get better as soon as possible." As long as Li Xiang doesn't get better, he won't be able to reveal the secret of the Thunder.
The emperor knew that Li Xiang was fond of beautiful women, and he had used the beauty trap many times during this period. Under the temptation of the beauty, Li Xiang did reveal some things, but because of his injured throat, he could not say too much, and the information the emperor received was always incomplete.
This made him anxious. The people in the Ministry of Industry also started to study it. They did come up with several formulas for the Sky-shaking Bomb, but they were not sure about the dosage. The Sky-shaking Bomb they made was either not very lethal or could not be ignited.
Sun Zhengdao kowtowed loudly and said, "Your Majesty, I am not very skilled in martial arts. Please send a doctor who is proficient in external injuries to treat Mr. Li. I really have no way to treat Mr. Li's injury."
He was quitting the business. Sun Zhengdao had been bullied by Li Xiang a lot during this period. In Li Xiang's mind, Sun Zhengdao was Feng Qingchen's "accomplice". The emperor also knew about this. After hearing what Sun Zhengdao said, he hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
It is said that Li Xiang faced the fact that his hand injuries and throat injuries would not heal for a long time, and his resentment towards Feng Qingchen grew deeper and deeper. It was not until the news of Feng Qingchen's death came that Li Xiang became a little happy. He was in high spirits and discussed with Rong Qingqiu about giving the emperor a birthday gift.
Li Xiang initially said that he wanted to choreograph a dance. Li Xiang gestured for a long time, and by the time Rong Qingqiu understood, Rong Qingqiu's face looked like a cooked shrimp.
"Li Lang, what kind of dance is this? Pole show, this is too low to be on stage. It's ok to dance in private for the emperor to see, but if you do it in public, the emperor will definitely be unhappy." Rong Qingqiu persuaded coquettishly, but secretly complained in her heart: "What a bad idea, the dance performed by the empress in the palace in private is more attractive than any dance."
Li Xiang was so fascinated by Rong Qingqiu that he felt it made sense, so he continued to gesture: "Then what do you think I should give you?"
Rong Qingqiu's eyes gleamed, and before Li Xiang noticed, she returned to her usual charm and seduction, and drew circles on Li Xiang's chest with her slender fingers: "Li Lang, the emperor values you so much, even if you don't send him a gift, the emperor will be happy. But if you want to send him a gift, of course you have to give him what he wants."
Li Xiang nodded, kissed Rong Qingqiu's pink lips, and raised his eyes slightly, as if to say: What does the emperor want?
Rong Qingqiu suppressed her excitement and coquettishly pushed Li Xiang away: "Li Lang, you are so bad. You clearly know what the emperor wants, but you still ask him. Li Lang's Thunder Bomb is the most amazing thing in the world. As long as Li Lang sends the Thunder Bomb to the emperor, the emperor will be happy. If he is happy, maybe you, Li Lang, will be crowned king and defeated, and I can also benefit from it."
Li Xiang started to write on the ground: "This is a good idea, but I plan to use those thunder bombs to kill Feng Qingchen, so I can't give them to the emperor. By the way, when will your father take action? Feng Qingchen is half dead, and she will not be able to escape once the thunder bombs are thrown."
Ever since the Duke of Anguo got the batch of sky-shaking bombs, he has been using the excuse that it was inconvenient to do so and has not gone to blow up Feng Qingchen. Are you kidding me? All the sky-shaking bombs are in the hands of the emperor, where would he get them?
"Li Lang, you are so stupid. You don't even think about my dad. You are the only one in the world who possesses the thunder bomb. If dad goes to blow up the Feng Mansion, everyone will know it was you as soon as the explosion is heard. Dad is thinking about you. It's not easy for us to take action since Feng Qingchen is in the city. Let's wait for her to go outside the city. Then no one will know even if she dies in the explosion." Rong Qingqiu repeated the words he had prepared.
"Explosion?" Li Xiang whispered, his eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled Rong Qingqiu into his arms and gestured: "I know what to give to the emperor, and I also think of how to cover up the explosion. On the day of the emperor's birthday, let your father send people to Feng Mansion. I will raze Feng Mansion to the ground and blow up Feng Qingchen to the ground without leaving any bones."
Rong Qingqiu was startled, and looked at Li Xiang with a look of fear. Although she wished Feng Qingchen would die right now, she had never thought of letting Feng Qingchen die so miserably...
This man is so cruel!
Rong Qingqiu's body was stiff. Li Xiang was so excited that he didn't notice it at all. He held Rong Qingqiu and kept demonstrating his plan. Rong Qingqiu quickly collected his mind and wrote down Li Xiang's plan one by one, especially when it came to the required materials, Rong Qingqiu memorized them by heart.
Maybe she will accomplish a great feat this time!
