Travel back to ancient times to spoil the prince

Chapter 227 Succeeded, but Not Completely Succeeded
It's over, this is the last word she wants to hear.

Concubine Li Gui's eyelids jumped a few times, and she fell into a long silence.

Xiao Huaiyu was her greatest reliance. If she wanted to continue to flourish, she must rescue him from the prison in Jingzhao Mansion. It stands to reason that she had no reason to reject the emperor's proposal.

But... the person the emperor wants to sacrifice is none other than her nephew.

Her mother's family contributed a lot to her getting to where she is today. If her brother knew that she was going to trade her nephew's life for her son's freedom, there would definitely be cracks in her relationship with the Li family.

Without the support of the Li family, can she still show off in the harem?Can her son continue to suppress that bitch Xiao Huaijin?

The more she thought about it, the more confused Li Guifei became.

"You don't want to sacrifice your nephew?"

The emperor saw Concubine Li Gui's careful thinking, and he let go of her hand, showing displeasure, "Could it be that in your heart, your nephew's life is more important than our son's? Concubine Li Gui, you have let me down so much! "

"No."

Concubine Li Gui's face was as white as paper, she quickly shook her head.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. To me, other than you, no one is as important as Yu'er. I have been silent all the time. I was thinking... thinking about how to compensate my brother. Concubine Brother Body has only one son, you..."

"Compensation for what? There is no need to compensate."

The emperor flicked his sleeves carelessly, feeling that her worries were unnecessary.

"Didn't your brother Li Ao often say that he wants to shed his blood for me? Okay, I will give him a chance to show it. I don't want his life, but the life of his son! You tell your brother and your nephew for me. It is your nephew's honor that our son sacrificed his life."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I remember what you said."

Concubine Li Gui's fingers trembled, the smile on her face could hardly be maintained anymore.

"The concubine resigned first, and I will spare time as soon as possible to talk about this matter with my brother. When my brother nods, I will let my nephew go to Jingzhao Mansion to plead guilty."

"Go."

The emperor smiled in satisfaction, sat behind the desk, and focused on the memorial, "I still have things to deal with, so I won't be going to your palace tonight."

"Ok."

Concubine Li Gui clenched her lower lip, and stepped back lightly.

She thought that her conversation with the emperor was very secretive, and no one knew her plan with the emperor, but in fact, she left the study and stood behind the emperor. The little eunuch who helped the emperor organize the memorial showed a strange smile.

After half a stick of incense, the little eunuch found an excuse, left the emperor's study, and found Li Liande as quickly as possible, and briefly recounted to him the conversation between the emperor and Concubine Li.

Frankly speaking, the current situation did not exceed Li Liande's expectations, but he was still not very happy.

"Sure enough, Concubine Li sent our family away to persuade the emperor to let Yin Hao or Xiao Huaiyu go. She has been able to be arrogant in the harem for so many years because of her four cards, King Hui, Prime Minister Yin, the Li family, and the emperor's. Pet, now that half of her hole cards have collapsed, she must be in a hurry."

"Fortunately, she tried her best, but she still didn't get the result she wanted."

The little eunuch smiled, rubbed his hands together and said, "Now she has to choose between Li's family and King Hui, no matter what she chooses, she will suffer serious injuries."

"Not necessarily."

Li Liande clenched his fists, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "If Concubine Li Gui gave the Li family enough compensation afterwards, the Li family would not tear themselves apart from Concubine Li Gui for the sake of Li Ao's son-in-law. After all... according to our family As we all know, Li Ao still has an illegitimate son, and if his legitimate son dies, he will not cut off his heir."

"Then you can do something to intensify the conflict and make the Li family not accept Li Guifei's compensation."

The little eunuch took a step forward and winked at him meaningfully.

"You've gotten smarter."

Li Liande's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly towards the emperor's study.

No one knew what he said to the emperor that night. Everyone only knew that the emperor issued an imperial edict the next morning.

The news revealed by the imperial decree is that Li Xufeng, the son of Li Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, found someone to forge the handwriting and seal of Hui Wang Xiao Huaiyu, and in Xiao Huaiyu's identity, he did many appalling and bad things with Qi Jingshuang, the previous county magistrate of Tongzhou Prefecture.

Now that the emperor has seen Li Xufeng's true face, the emperor is very angry and decides to remove Li Ao from his position, execute Li Xufeng, immediately release Xiao Huaiyu who was wronged, and Zheng Er who was deceived by Li Xufeng and wrongly blamed Xiao Huaiyu.

As soon as this imperial decree came out, many people were dumbfounded, and the most confused person was Concubine Li Gui.

This result is different from what she discussed with the emperor. She hasn't told her brother that the emperor will sacrifice Li Xufeng to protect Xiao Huaiyu. Why did the emperor do something to the Li family?
Moreover, he didn't only touch Li Xufeng, but also Li Ao. How could she face her family?

Concubine Li Gui was terrified, she hurriedly tidied herself up and went out to find the emperor, but just as she walked to the door, she received a letter from Li Ao sending someone to the palace.

Li Ao made it clear to her that from now on, the Li family would not help her and Xiao Huaiyu with anything, and the Li family would cut seats with her and Xiao Huaiyu.

What is this called?

Concubine Li Gui's eyes went dark, and she fell to the ground weakly holding her head.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Seeing this scene, her maid rushed over to help her.

"Ben Gong's plan was successful, but not completely successful. Ben Gong is suffering."

Concubine Li Gui wiped her face and lay down in the maid's arms, crying loudly.

……

"I'm going here!"

"Are you sure? If you're sure, just make a move, and don't destroy the chess anymore."

Concubine Li Gui's palace was in chaos, but Prince Duan's mansion was peaceful.

Right now, Yin Qingqing is playing chess with Xiao Huaijin.

Well, yes, Yin Qingqing got up against Go, and she swore that she would definitely beat Xiao Huaijin once in her lifetime.

Xiao Huaijin is not busy today, and has plenty of time to play around with Yin Qingqing. The courtyard where they live is full of laughter.

"Miss Qing, Brother Huaijin."

Yin Qingqing and Xiao Huaijin were having fun playing chess, Tao Jiang walked in from outside holding an envelope.

"Ning Guohou Feng Wushuang sent someone to send an invitation. The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the old lady of Ning Guohou's mansion. Ning Guohou held a banquet at his house. He hopes that you two can go to the banquet."

"You prepare a generous gift and send it to Ningguohou's mansion in person. Brother Huaijin and I are not feeling well, so we won't go to Ningguohou's mansion the day after tomorrow to join in the fun. Oh, by the way, if you are lucky enough to meet Ningguohou, please replace me Remind him with your brother Huaijin, and tell him not to show affection to me and your brother Huaijin again."

Yin slightly tilted his head to glance at him, and rejected Ning Guohou's invitation without hesitation.
