Chapter 399

When she woke up the next day, Ye Lizhi realized that she was no longer nestled in a corner of the big bed, but on a soft goose down pillow. The lost shoes also disappeared.

And on the big bed, she was the only one left.

Fengqing began to lead people to search the palace.

I heard from Ye Lizhi that An Rujin once kept the dead in the ground. He didn't even let go of the secret passages of the palace. It is impossible to force it out.

Unfortunately, after searching for three days in a row, there was still nothing.

Taking advantage of Feng Qing's return to rest for a while, Ye Lizhi said: "It's strange, is it true that An Rujin and the others are not in the palace?"

Feng Qing drank tea and said, "No."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because the emperor and empress dowager can't go anywhere except the palace."

When mentioning the empress dowager, Ye Lizhi hesitated to speak, he felt that he had no position if he wanted to ask, and felt like a stick in his throat if he didn't ask.

Feng Qing raised her eyelids and glanced at her, like a fairy who can read minds, said:

"If you have any questions, just ask, you can't give birth to an egg if you hold it back. This king will definitely know everything, and he can talk endlessly... Also, that old woman, the empress dowager, must have said something to you in the side hall that day." Bar."

Ye Lizhi showed a helpless expression after being punctured, and then said decisively:
"You...really killed your elder brother in front of Emperor Feng and the Empress Dowager, and forced the palace to rebel?"

Criminal|The criminal said bluntly: "Yes."

"why?"

"You want to know?"

Fengqing put down her teacup, her expression became solemn.

"Yes..." Ye Lizhi couldn't help becoming nervous, but she couldn't tell whether she was nervous that the other party had really done something bad and was an out-and-out bastard, or something else.

At this moment, Fengqing smiled without warning, and said in a nonchalant way:
"If you want to kill it, kill it, why are there so many..."

Ye Lizhi frowned disapprovingly at his frivolous attitude of not caring about the cruelty of killing his relatives, thinking that it would be too late for him to get off the boat...

But the other party continued: "However, in order to restore this king's good impression in your mind, this king can tell you the truth of the matter."

Then, he began to speak to her slowly with completely straightforward and unpretentious words and sentences:

"I am the youngest son of my father. When I was born, my elder brother was already in his 20s, and even my son was crawling all over the floor.

In the battle for the reserve, the eldest brother blocked and killed the god, and the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha, killing almost all the brothers and sisters who stood in front of him. Only me, who was thrown to the frontier since I was a child, was lucky not to become a thorn in his side .

When my father passed away, I hurried back and stood by his bedside before he died. He looked at me and told me that I must help my elder brother, help him stabilize the country, and become his right-hand man. The country of Feng cannot be changed hands.

Maybe you will think that my father is an old fool, why does the elder brother have done so many bad things, but still wants me to assist him?

In fact, it was because the royal father had always respected the direct lineage and the eldest son, and felt that it was only natural for the eldest brother to harm his siblings, because only the eldest brother was qualified to sit in that seat, and anyone who dared to obstruct him would deserve to die.

When I finished my filial piety and returned to the frontier, I began to guard one side for my elder brother according to my father's last will, recruiting troops, strengthening the city walls, and training soldiers from morning to night every day, in order to help my elder brother protect the peace of one side, so that He sits more securely on the throne, but..."

Speaking of this, Feng Qing laughed at herself, but there was no wave in her clear eyes, as if the family affection was burnt out, and the rest was ashes:
"However, my strength has aroused the fear of my elder brother. He is afraid that I will have the intention of treason, so he began to take back the military power in my hands.

I gave it to him unsuspectingly, thinking that people who become emperors are like this, and they are suspicious of everyone all day long, which is actually not easy.

But I didn't expect that this was not enough to dispel his doubts about me. A few slanderous ministers whispered a few words in his ears, and he actually sent someone to bribe my subordinates to make them betray me, and even... kill me. "

The empress dowager's tearful narration did not move Ye Lizhi at all, but the man's few words without emotion made her heart skip a beat.

"I actually didn't understand. I couldn't even believe it at first. How could it be? I trusted and admired him wholeheartedly. I thought that my elder brother, who was completely trusted by him without any intention of taking the throne, would kill me instead.

Other countries invaded, and I led my brothers to go through life and death on the battlefield, fighting bloody battles, for what?
I was sincerely for him, but he thought that I was sincerely preparing for usurping the throne.

He even once had someone secretly burn all the food and grass behind me while I was fighting, and forced me to return to the palace, otherwise, he would not provide any more supplies... In order to get rid of me, he even ignored the safety of the people .

You said, can I stay with such a big brother? "

"Then you..." Ye Lizhi rubbed the handkerchief in his hand, and asked suspiciously: "Then why don't you simply proclaim yourself emperor, but after killing him, you are willing to condescend to continue to be the prince?"

Feng Qing paused, then said:

"Because I don't want to part with the grass and trees in the frontier. I grew up there, and I'm not used to the extravagant life in the palace. It's the most benevolent to just make his son emperor."

Is that right?

Ye Lizhi narrowed his eyes slightly, examining the other party's lowered eyebrows, which were rarely aggressive, and the small movements of the slender fingers gently stroking the rim of the teacup.

Intuition told her that he was lying.

But is it necessary?After telling so many truths, why lie to her here at the end?
After thinking about the context for a while, Ye Lizhi suddenly felt blessed and asked with a smile:
"Actually... are you afraid?"

"What, what?" Feng Qing raised her head in surprise, and said with a disdainful laugh:
"Afraid? Don't be joking, what is this king afraid of?"

Hei Yingying's watery apricot eyes slightly curved, Ye Lizhi softened her voice, and said slowly:
"You are afraid that if you become the emperor, you will become like your elder brother, who will kill people who have been kind to you and become suspicious and ruthless. That's why you would rather support a worthless nephew to the throne , I’m willing to be inferior to others, isn’t it?”

"What is it?" King Feng Yang, who was told the truth in a single word, slapped the table angrily, and shouted forcefully:

"That's right! I've already said it, I just don't want to stay in this palace, you...you are unreasonable, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

After speaking, he stood up, turned around and ran away without looking back, like an unreasonable child whose lies were exposed.

Ye Lizhi was so amused by him, he never thought that the majestic Fengyang King of Fengguo would still be like this, so...

cute side!
