The person who brought her to Daning Kingdom was Li Tianyang, and her identity as a fine work of Chu State was only known to Li Tianyang, as long as Li Tianyang died, her identity could be concealed.

After thinking for a long time, she stared at a pair of pitiful eyes, and said slowly with an innocent face:

"Your Majesty, as far as the concubines know, Xi'er didn't know that those people were from Chu at first, and the concubines also went to Xiwangfu a few times during this period, and didn't find anything unusual about their identities.

Concubine Li's words made the emperor frown in confusion, and his face was distorted and he shouted with indignation,

"Nonsense, could it be that I asked him to keep the people of Chu privately?"

Seeing this, Concubine Li continued to tell with tears in her eyes,

"The emperor didn't know, that Li Tianyang, a native of Chu State, was originally a fool in Lijiazhuang, but one day he suddenly became not stupid, and he was also very smart, Xi'er heard about it by chance, so he asked someone to inquire, and it turned out that this Li Tianyang was possessed by the gods, so he suddenly opened his mind, and he can also make immortal pills, Xi'er knows that you have been in poor health recently, and I want to get you a few such pills to eat, so I will allow these people to live in Xiwang's mansion, But who would have thought that Xi'er would be deceived by these people of Chu because of his eagerness to seek medicine, the emperor, you have to be aware that Xi'er was wronged. ”

"Nonsense."

The emperor shook his sleeves with a blue face and roared,

"Humph! It's been half a year, why haven't I even seen a small pill? You dare to say what kind of elixir you made for me, it's really unreasonable. ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Concubine Li's eyes inadvertently rolled a few times, and then she bowed her head and replied:

"Has the emperor felt refreshed lately?"

Her words made the emperor stunned for a moment, and then he replied coldly:

"What do you mean by that?"

Concubine Li finally boldly raised her head to look at the emperor, and then replied softly in an aggrieved voice:

"Your Majesty, the medicine you drank recently was given to you by the concubine, and these medicines were obtained by Xi'er from the people of Chu, don't believe you ask Gonggong Liu."

Just as the emperor turned his head to look at Liu Xi, he hurriedly bowed and replied:

"Back to the emperor's words, what Li Niangniang said is true, you were not in good health some time ago, always coughing, Concubine Li sent some small pills, saying that it was for you to eat and see, and did not let the slave tell you, the slave originally wanted to give you a try, but seeing that your mental state improved after eating, the slave simply gave you food every day."

When Liu Xi said this, a shrewd and smug gaze flashed in the depths of Concubine Li's eyes.

The emperor won't know that this set of rhetoric, Concubine Li has already arranged it, Those small pills were indeed given to her by Li Tianyang, but they are not any nourishing pills, but medicines that can make people look excited, taking this medicine will consume people's energy and internal strength, once they stop taking it, people will languish until one day, this person will suddenly die violently, which is also the reason why Concubine Li did not let Gonggong Liu tell the emperor, I don't know why Gonggong Liu only knew that the emperor's mental state became better after taking this medicine, So I kept giving it to the emperor.

Of course, they had a long-term plan for giving the emperor this medicine, they wanted the emperor to suddenly stop the medicine for him before the Chu people invaded the capital, so that he would lose his spirits, and then take the opportunity to kill him, so that Leng Xi could take advantage of the chaos to ascend to the throne.

It's just that she didn't expect that Xiao Lingzi and the others would rush back so quickly, and they would seal the Xiwang Mansion overnight and trap all the people of Chu there without preparation, which disrupted the plan they had prepared.

The emperor looked at Concubine Li suspiciously, and his face was much more relaxed than before.

Concubine Li bowed her head and muttered for a long time, she knew that the emperor had already believed her words, so she struck while the iron was hot, and continued to complain with tears like rain:

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, Xi'er has been blaming himself for worrying that he will inadvertently lead the wolf into the house to make you angry, if he hadn't considered Xiaobao and the hundreds of people in Xiwangfu, he would have been fighting to the death with the people of Chu, and in the past few days of being besieged by the people of Chu, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and people have lost a lot of weight, and the concubines looked very distressed!"

At this time, Concubine Li actually raised the handkerchief in her hand and cried while wiping her tears.

Looking at Concubine Li's pear blossom and rainy face, the emperor sighed and asked again:

"Then what is your relationship with the people of the Chu Kingdom? How did you manage to easily get close to the Chu people and kill him? ”

The emperor's words made Concubine Li's face turn pale in an instant, her body kept shaking a few times, and then her voice trembled and whimpered,

"Your Majesty, concubine...... The concubine is not familiar with the people of the Chu country, but the people of the Chu country said earlier that I look very similar to a woman he knows, so he will give the concubine a chance to get close to him and give the concubine a chance to kill him. ”

Although Concubine Li's explanation was a little pale, the emperor still nodded solemnly in disbelief.

At this moment, someone outside came to report,

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu is here."

Hearing these words, Concubine Li suddenly raised her veil to cover her face and cried.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the Xi'er family, then the people of Chu must not let go, and they must let them know how serious the consequences of angering the royal people of Daning Kingdom are, and let the people of the world know that the majesty of the royal people cannot be trampled underfoot."

When the emperor saw her crying here, he raised his hand impatiently,

"Stand down, I know."

Concubine Li saw that Leng Yu had already walked in, so she glanced at him with a cold face and quietly retreated.

Although Concubine Li was not sure whether the emperor would believe what she had just said, the emperor's tone was much more relaxed, which also proved that the emperor had believed most of it.

As for those Chu people, she expected that Leng Yu would definitely release them out of the city, and then the emperor would be furious and divert his attention, so that she could temporarily fool the way with this set of improvised statements.

Thinking of this, she whispered to the grandmother beside her:

"According to what I said, go and pass the word to Lord Xi......"

In order to prevent the emperor from becoming suspicious again, she must ensure that she and Leng Xi's words are consistent, and she must make Leng Xi look like she was deceived by the people of Chu and forced to be helpless, as long as this matter is confused first, everything is still in time.

Leng Yu came to the emperor and was about to bow down, but the emperor couldn't wait to ask:

"Can you control the new king of the Chu country?"

Leng Yu replied directly with a calm face:

"No, the retainers have released them out of the city."
