Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 996
Li Jingyou shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Today is the first time I have argued with him. It is rare for Xiao Jingyao to make such a solemn promise. I also believe him, but Xiao Heng refuses to believe it! Xiao Heng is Xiao Jingyao's cousin actually suspects that Xiao Jingyao is plotting against him!"

In fact, she has never regretted the decision she made, but after hearing what Xiao Heng said just now, she suddenly realized that Xiao Heng, who was so suspicious, was a little strange to her!

Or, she has never really understood Xiao Heng...

Ye Zhiqiu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Actually, I drank with him last night, and he told me that he didn't want to fight for the throne, but I didn't expect him to come to you so soon! Xiao Jingyao followed his word People, you should persuade Xiao Heng, trusting him is good after all... After all, there are some people who do not support Xiao Heng's ascension to the throne, if you have his support, the situation will be more beneficial to you!"

Li Jingyou nodded silently. Ye Zhiqiu was right. With Xiao Jingyao's appeal, if Xiao Jingyao supported them with all his strength, then those who opposed Xiao Heng's ascension to the throne would no longer have any suitable excuses!

Xiao Heng is her husband now, and she even thought about going to see Xiao Jingyao in person in order to make Xiao Heng ascend the throne, and persuade him to quit...but in the end she failed to do so!
She couldn't be so selfish, Xiao Jingyao was the one who won the hearts of the people, not to mention Xiao Jingyao conquered the entire Yongzhou and made countless military exploits, how could she let Xiao Jingyao withdraw from the struggle for the throne for her own selfish desire? !

But she never thought that Xiao Jingyao would choose to withdraw voluntarily...

Even though Xiao Jingyao said that what he yearns for is a free and easy life, but she knows that when he has a responsibility, he will never shirk it!
The people's expectations of him, the soldiers' reverence for him, are all his responsibilities...

"I will try to persuade Xiao Heng, Zhiqiu, thank you!" Li Jingyou said in a low voice.

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, looked at her with complicated eyes, and said word by word: "You should thank, not me, but Xiao Jingyao!"

Li Jingyou's body shook suddenly, meeting his deep gaze, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Jingyou asked, "Did he ever tell you why he was willing to quit when everyone expected him to?"

"If I say that he did this for you, would you believe me?"

Ye Zhiqiu asked back. Seeing that Li Jingyou remained silent in surprise, he said in a low voice, "That's what he said yesterday. Giving up the throne is not only fulfilling you, but also fulfilling himself!"

Before Li Jingyou could react, Ye Zhiqiu turned around and left Xiao Heng's mansion.

He knew that when she heard Xiao Jingyao's words, she would understand Xiao Jingyao's painstaking efforts!
But Li Jingyou looked at Ye Zhiqiu's leaving back, her face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Miss..." Qiu Yan, who was originally bringing tea, saw that her lady's expression was not right, so she quickly put down her teacup to support her, and asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Li Jingyou shook her head without saying anything, but a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

She clearly told herself that she would not regret it... But now, she realized that she was too impulsive at that time!

"Miss..." Qiuyan didn't know that Miss would suddenly be so sad, so she kept stroking Li Jingyou's back and whispered, "Did Mr. Ye say something unpleasant?"
