Having done what he should do, Qu Li hid his achievements and fame and left quietly.
Although she really wanted to see with her own eyes how the Emperor of Southern Qi punished Changsun Lingyue, she was worried that if time dragged on too long, Feng Yi would sneak into Long'an Temple again out of worry.
The Emperor of Southern Qi was very wary of him and even wished he could kill Feng Yi. She was afraid that if the Emperor of Southern Qi knew that he was in Long'an Temple, it would really be bad for Feng Yi.
"Who is Zhuona?"
The Emperor of Southern Qi suddenly pushed the door open and entered the hall. Changsun Lingyue's unfocused eyes became clear for a moment.
In just a moment, she became confused again.
"It really wasn't me, it was Zhuona! It was all her idea! She was the one who helped me leave Xiling. I was desperate. Even though I knew her terms of exchange would likely put me in danger, I had no choice but to agree."
"Her exchange condition is to make you my favorite concubine, so that you can deceive me and provoke war between the two countries, right?"
Changsun Lingyue was born with fair skin. Standing among the women of Southern Qi, she stood out like a crane among chickens.
The Emperor of Southern Qi really liked her.
If she didn't have any malicious intentions, after a while, when she gave birth to a prince, he might really make her the queen.
His gaze was so sharp that Changsun Lingyue subconsciously took half a step back.
"say!"
In the war with Dagan ten years ago, everyone thought victory was a sure thing, but no one expected that a young war god like Xiao Xian would appear.
After the defeat, Southern Qi gave away not only gold and silver, but also Prince Feng Yi, the entire Southern Qi's reputation, and his own dignity as an emperor.
Although the civil and military officials were afraid of him as an emperor and did not dare to advise him, those scholars still wrote many poems and essays to criticize him openly or covertly.
The reason why he hated Feng Yi so much was more because he represented shame, and every time he saw him, he couldn't help but think of his failure ten years ago.
His neck was suddenly strangled, his breath was taken away, and waves of pain from suffocation spread through his lungs, causing Changsun Lingyue to roll her eyes in pain.
"If you don't speak, I will break your neck."
Changsun Lingyue's legs kept kicking the ground, and her fingers were digging hard into the back of the Southern Qi Emperor's hand.
The emperor was so furious that he didn't feel any pain at all, and the hostility in his eyes continued to grow.
"It's Zhuona! All this is Zhuona's conspiracy!"
"Who is she?"
No matter what the Emperor of Southern Qi asked, Changsun Lingyue would answer it.
After getting everything he wanted to know, the Emperor of Southern Qi let go of his hand.
The air rushed in suddenly, and Changsun Lingyue covered her chest and coughed violently.
The person who was confused just now suddenly became clear-headed, and those chaotic images came to her mind all at once. Her mouth was wide open, and the pain in her eyes was gradually replaced by fear.
She looked up, tears welling up in her eyes, and knelt at the feet of the Emperor of Southern Qi.
"Your Majesty, I must have been controlled by some kind of magic just now, which is why I revealed many things that I didn't know."
She was in tears, and I felt really sorry for her.
The Southern Qi Emperor snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Having been deceived, he didn't know how to vent the anger in his heart. Changsun Lingyue's behavior not only failed to gain any sympathy from him, but instead inflamed his anger to the extreme.
Changsun Lingyue shuddered violently.
She carefully recalled everything that had just happened.
She was copying Buddhist scriptures when she suddenly felt sleepy and wanted to lie down and take a nap.
Then she seemed to be dreaming. In the dream, there was a figure emitting golden light all over the body, questioning her why she provoked the dispute among the three countries and caused suffering to the people of Tianlong Continent.
She could clearly feel the suffocating feeling of being crushed to death, and fear completely enveloped her.
She had no recollection of what happened afterwards.
"I ask you, where is Zhuona now?"
Changsun Lingyue pursed her pale, bloodless lips and said, "I don't know anything about Zhuona!"
"Bang--"
The Emperor of Southern Qi was extremely furious. He raised his foot and kicked her on the shoulder.
“Hmm!”
She felt as if her shoulder blades were broken. She lay on the ground, looking at the Emperor of Southern Qi with a painful expression.
The Emperor of Southern Qi looked down at her with cold eyes.
"I really want to be good to you, but unfortunately, you have let me down."
"Hahaha!"
Changsun Lingyue seemed to have heard a huge joke and laughed so hard that tears came out.
"My family doesn't even have any sincerity towards me, and you, an emperor, actually say you are sincere towards me?"
The eyes of the Emperor of Southern Qi narrowed, and a chilling low pressure filled his entire body.
Changsun Lingyue clutched her shoulder blades and continued, enduring the pain. "True feelings can change! Nothing in this world remains unchanged! You said I bewitched you, that I was trying to start a war? Why don't you just say you couldn't tolerate your son, that you wanted to use this incident to kill him?"
What she said hit the nail on the head, and the Emperor of Southern Qi's face became as gloomy as if a storm was about to come.
"Kill me if you can! Hypocrite."
Changsun Lingyue has already decided to throw in the towel.
The Emperor of Southern Qi stared at her intently, and he really wanted to kill her.
But now, Zhuona has not been found yet, and he is also afraid that Zhuona will do something under the name of Nanqi.
"Contact Zhuona immediately!"
I thought Changsun Lingyue would definitely refuse, but she only hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
The secret guard whispered to the Emperor of Southern Qi: "Your Majesty, is she playing tricks?"
"I suspect she knows she's doomed to a bad end, and since Zhuona keeps threatening her, she's thinking of dragging Zhuona down with her." He pressed his swollen brow and ordered, "Keep her under close watch. Keep the news secret. Don't let any leaks happen and let Zhuona escape."
"I know."
The secret guards took a few leaps and blended into the thick night.
Elsewhere, Qu Li found Feng Yi and said, "Let's go! Changsun Lingyue revealed that your good father has murderous intentions towards Zhuona."
"Are we going to lead the secret guards to find Zhuona now?" Feng Yi touched her bald head and found her extremely cute.
Qu Li tilted his head, "Don't touch me, the consequences of my anger will be quite serious!"
He was amused by her playful and cute appearance, and his brows were full of doting.
"Okay, no need to touch me!"
As soon as the voice that sounded like a cello fell, Qu Li felt a soft touch on his lips.
She froze completely, staring blankly at the man who was so close to her with a smile on his face.
The moonlight poured down from above his head and enveloped his body, as if coating his handsome face with a layer of bright silver light, causing Qu Li's breathing to tighten and his heartbeat to accelerate.
Feng Yi raised the end of his eyebrows: "What's wrong? Did you get kissed silly?"
