Li Tianyang's mouth flashed a devilish smile, then he raised his face and snorted coldly, "Don't play tricks on me, just say what you want to say."
Concubine Li looked around, and leaned her head towards him fearfully, muttering softly:
"Do you...remember those days?
Li Tianyang's eyes flickered a few times, and then he said with disdain:
"Humph, so what if you remember? I, Li Tianyang, don't care about women, otherwise you wouldn't come here..."
Concubine Li ignored his words and leaned closer to him again, whispering in his ear as softly as a mosquito:
"Before I left, you and I had a love affair in the back garden of the Chu Kingdom's palace. Later, after I came to Daning Kingdom, I became pregnant..."
She spoke carefully and cautiously, and Li Tianyang listened very carefully.
When she noticed that Li Tianyang was waiting to hear her continue, her pretty eyes suddenly darkened. Then, with lightning speed, she gritted her teeth and pulled out a hairpin from her hair. When Li Tianyang was completely unprepared, she stabbed it hard under his neck. Before he could react, she stabbed him again... twice... three times...
In just a moment, the long sword in Li Tianyang's hand fell to the ground with a bang. He stared at her in surprise with his eyes wide open. His teeth clenched, and without saying a word, he fell to the ground and died.
Seeing Li Tianyang lying dead on the ground, everyone present cried out in shock. Concubine Li coldly shouted to Chong'er and others beside him:
"Li Tianyang is dead. If you want to live, put down your weapons and surrender immediately."
Seeing this, Meng Letu also shouted loudly:
"Don't be stubborn anymore. Stop now and I can save your lives."
Hearing this, the Chu people, including Chong'er, dropped their swords and knelt on the ground...
Seeing Li Tianyang die in front of him, the frightened Xiaobao screamed and collapsed to the ground. Concubine Li hurried over to pick him up and kept comforting him...
Li Tianyang died, and the dispute between the two countries seemed to have finally come to an end.
Leng Xi claimed that he and Princess Xi Yu Qiaoqiao had been besieged in the palace by the Chu people for a long time and were frightened. They needed to rest for a few days and urgently summon the imperial physician for treatment.
Concubine Li was also frightened because she had personally killed the villain who attempted to kill Prince Xi's family. She was supported by her servants and returned to Li Garden to recuperate in peace.
This ridiculous farce finally came to an end, and the right and wrong seemed to have become clear, but Leng Yu and Luo Lan always felt that there must be something fishy about Concubine Li being able to get close to Li Tianyang so easily. It was just that the two of them spoke in too low voices at the time, and what they said was probably only known to them.
Before Letu was about to take the Chu people away from the capital, the emperor's oral order was conveyed to Leng Yu. The general content was: the Chu people had been harming the people of Daning for many years, so the emperor ordered Leng Yu to immediately confine the King of Chu, Meng Letu, in the capital of Chu, and to keep all the Chu people in the capital and choose a day to be beheaded in the vegetable market to comfort the soldiers who died on the battlefield.
Hearing this decree, everyone looked at each other in panic. Le Tu sneered and frowned at Leng Yu.
"Prince Yu, please don't forget what you promised me before you came here. Now that your emperor has issued this decree, I feel like I've been lured into a trap."
Leng Yu waved his hand with a cold face, sent away the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict, and said to Le Tu with a serious face:
"Take your people and leave the city immediately."
Le Tu didn't expect that he would agree to let him leave the city after receiving the emperor's oral order, so he looked at him in surprise, "Are you really sure you want to do this?"
Leng Yu raised his brows slightly, and replied with a smile on his face:
"I must fulfill my promise to you. Just leave the city and I will take care of everything."
After saying this, he waved to Le Tu and the others, and then said to Xiao Lingzi:
"You personally escort them out of the city gate..."
After hearing this, Xiao Lingzi rode forward. Letu glanced at Leng Yu, then turned back and clasped his fists at him, saying:
"Prince Yu, we will meet again."
Leng Yu also clasped his fists to him and nodded heavily, "Have a safe journey. See you later."
Letu looked at Sina again, looked at her reluctantly, turned around reluctantly, quickly tightened the reins, and rode away.
Looking at his back, Sina's eyes suddenly turned red, and then a line of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
The person who had been with her for more than twenty years was gone just like that. It was unknown when they would see each other again. She just prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that Letu could be a qualified king, and hoping that they would have the chance to see each other again one day!
Watching these Chu people walking further and further away, Liu Dechang sighed secretly.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to say?"
Leng Yu's eyes reflected a cold look, and then he spoke in a calm tone:
"I, Leng Yu, will not go back on my word. If you want the people to live in peace, don't provoke wars. I also believe that Meng Letu will become a great ruler. Letting them go will only benefit the Daning Kingdom, not harm it. Lord Yue Zhang, don't worry, it was me who let the Chu people go, and all the blame will be borne by me..."
After saying this, he turned his head to Luo Lan and said:
"You guys go back first, I'll go to the palace."
Although Luo Lan was very worried about Leng Yu, he thought carefully that Leng Yu had just returned from a great victory and the emperor would not make things difficult for him, so he smiled and nodded:
"Okay, let my father, mother, and Sina have dinner at home tonight. Come back early and we'll be waiting for you at home. Our three children are clamoring to see you."
When mentioning his three children, Leng Yu suddenly felt a little guilty. It had been five years, and he had finally come back, but he didn't even have the chance to see them.
A look of desolation appeared in his eyes, and then he nodded.
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
After saying this, he nodded to Liu Dechang, then jumped on his handsome chestnut horse, whipped it, and galloped away...
At this time, the emperor was sitting in the imperial study, furious. Concubine Li knelt in front of him, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face.
It turned out that the emperor knew that the Chu people had moved into the Prince Xi's Mansion half a year ago, and he also knew about Concubine Li's abnormal behavior in front of the Prince Xi's Mansion today.
He suddenly slammed the table, glared and shouted:
"I have treated you well. Tell me, what is your relationship with those Chu people? Why did Xi'er allow the Chu people to live in his Xiwang Mansion for half a year? What did you say to that Chu person today? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will banish you to the cold palace."
The emperor's words made Concubine Li's body tremble. Ever since Li Tianyang and others were trapped in Prince Xi's Mansion by people from Prince Yu's Mansion, she had already decided that she would kill Li Tianyang no matter what means.
