Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Li Ke returned to the room where Rieko Morita was interrogated. There was no one else in the room except Rieko Morita, and Rieko Morita was lowering her head in deep thought at this moment. She didn't know what she was thinking. .

Li Ke sat opposite Morita Rieko, quietly watching this scheming woman in front of him, feeling pitiful and sad. Such a woman traveled thousands of miles to the Tang Dynasty, not for the purpose of admiring the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, not for fun , but to seek help for his elder brother, so that his elder brother's imperial power can be stabilized, such a person is indeed pathetic, and as an emperor of a country, using a woman to stabilize his imperial power, such a move is even more important to this woman pitiful.

"This king knows that you haven't had a good problem and hasn't explained it. Do you really think that you don't know if you don't tell me?" Li Ke asked sternly. No pity for her, pity her.War is cruel, it does not belong to women; the same politics is cruel, it does not belong to women either.However, since the woman in front of her chose something that was not within her ability, she could only blame herself for such consequences, and no one could be blamed.

"I know!" Morita Rieko said softly, "But is there any difference between saying it or not? Saying it will only give some people more excuses to attack others."

"Indeed, if you tell the truth, as you think, it will only add more blood and killing." Li Ke said lightly, "But you understand it too late, if you understand this truth earlier It’s going to be where it is today.”

"Doesn't Your Highness have something to say to the little girl?" Rieko Morita said, obviously not liking Li Ke's long lectures.

"What this king wants to say has no meaning to you now, but," Li Ke said here, paused and continued, "This king still wants to tell you this thing, because this king wants to tell you , you are actually stupid in front of me."

"On Suzaku Street, you sent people to pretend to be an old man and a young man, and poisoned the old man in front of me. The purpose was to let the king go to the imperial palace to get medicine. But you may not know it yourself. When I was in front of you, this king already guessed that this might be a conspiracy of yours." Li Ke said here, with a little sadness, "I just didn't expect that the object you would choose to put me to death would be the empress!"

"When Sheng Deyan was treating the old man, the child next to him didn't say a word except crying. In the end, even the king said that he would go to the palace to get medicine for the old man, but he didn't say a word. Thank you. Maybe this king would not be aware of this kind of behavior in other places, but when it appears in Chang'an City, this king thinks there is something strange about it." Li Ke continued, "There is also Sheng Deyan who told this king when he healed the old man. , the poison the old man suffered from was produced in Changbai Mountain, this is another doubtful point."

"With these three doubts, the king naturally thought that this might be a conspiracy that you want to frame the king, but in order to find out who is involved, what is your purpose? For the time being, the king will follow the plan according to the plan. Your plan is to go to the imperial palace’s medicated dining room to get the medicine, so there will be a scene of Zhang Zhong making things difficult for the maids in the harem, and his purpose is just to lure the king.”

"With the participation of Zhang Zhong, an internal servant who has worked in the medicated kitchen for several years, this king is even more convinced that there are many people involved behind this matter, and their backgrounds are not small." Li Ke continued, "Wait until the Queen Poisoned, the king was placed under house arrest, and I discovered your real reason and purpose. However, there was an omission in your plan, that is, although the queen was poisoned, her life was not in danger, but because of the antidote provided by Li Shang And got treatment, and at this moment, the king was summoned to Dali Temple for interrogation. After the first three interrogations, you suddenly realized that there is little chance of curing the king to death, so you crawled out of your confidantes to inquire later. The king’s secret, I want to use this to create an opportunity.”

"There are so many masters in my palace, how can I not know that someone has sneaked into the mansion?" Li Ke said with a smile, "It's just that he was not sure who sent him at the time, so he didn't expose it. When I was young, this king thought of the strategy of scheming, so you later said that you received those false information, thinking that this king targeted Tuyuhun. In fact, this king has already ordered Qisha to pay attention to him secretly. Your every move, because of this reason, later Sheng Deyan was thrown into the river by you, but he still did not die, and he was still able to stand in court to testify."

Having said that, Li Ke found that the dungeon was rather humid, but beads of sweat still oozed from Rieko Morita's forehead.

"Actually, at this point, you probably understand why you lost so badly!" Li Ke said with a slight smile, "Because, everything you did was in my calculations from the beginning to the end, and you are just me. It’s just a pawn in my hand. Of course, the queen’s poisoning is an exception, this king didn’t expect this because my heart is not as insidious as yours.”

"You are really scary!" Morita Rieko tried her best to control her emotions, and said such a sentence with difficulty.Li Ke did not refute Rieko Morita's words, and continued to wait for her to be the next sentence.Morita Rieko tried to calm herself down and said after stabilizing her emotions, "Such a small negligence on Suzaku Street will be discovered by you. You can control such a big game of chess. I, Morita Rieko, did not feel wronged at all. What’s wrong is that some people don’t know that they are just someone else’s pawn after losing.”

"Your Highness, please stop talking. The more I know, the more uncomfortable I feel than death." Morita Rieko moaned in pain, "I thought I was smart, but I didn't expect to find out how stupid I am today. How insignificant it is in front of you."

"Hey!" Li Ke sighed leisurely, "As long as you have experienced everything I have experienced, being chased and killed on your own road in Chang'an almost killed you, and the murderer behind this scene cannot be investigated, so you can only swallow your anger; Was assassinated in Chang'an City, almost died of bows and arrows; and was chased and intercepted by tens of millions of cavalry in the northern desert far away from Chang'an City, and almost died in Mobei; as long as you have experienced these, you can also become like Ben The king is so cautious."

"Okay!" Seeing Rieko Morita listening obsessively, Li Ke stopped his words and said, "Since you don't want to listen any more, I won't force you to do so, but you know my principles, and if you offend me, Li Ke Those who commit crimes must be killed! Therefore, the crimes you committed should be paid with your blood, but the person you want to protect with all your heart, this king can promise you to let him go and not pursue it."

Morita Rieko could fully understand the meaning of Li Ke's words, and she buried her head deeply on the ground, saluting Li Ke with a crying voice, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Ke did not stay in the dungeon, but chose to leave silently. He thought that what he said today was a fatal blow to Rieko Morita who was overconfident.And after talking to Rieko Morita, he no longer needs her confession at this moment. What he needs is to use Rieko Morita's current state and mood to make a conversation with Fusang's two foreign messengers, Inu Mita and Huiri Yakushi. It's just a transaction.
