The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 118 Mantis Catching Cicadas

Concubine Li saw that Li Ying's aura was getting weaker and weaker, and her pair of phoenix eyes gradually turned red, and she shouted angrily, "Bitch!", and her half-inch-long red nails pinched at Chang Xi's neck.

Everyone didn't expect that she would dare to beat Chang Xi in front of everyone, and they were taken aback. Chang Xi had a big belly and couldn't move, so she backed away in fright, seeing Concubine Li's long nails about to grab her neck!Bi Chuan was eager for each other, rushed forward with a stride, and stretched out his arms to block the front.

"Ouch!" With a cry, Bi Chuan's face was scratched by Concubine Li with a long red mark, and she fell back.It didn't matter that she hit Chang Xi's stomach just in time, and Chang Xi was hit by this momentum, staggering and about to fall to the ground.

Li Longji was shocked and wanted to hold her back, but Gao Jieyu and Feng Lu didn't know whether it was intentional or not, they turned sideways in front of Li Longji.

Li Longji frowned, and pushed the two of them aside as soon as he separated his hands, maybe because he used too much strength, Gao Jieyu was pushed and fell to the ground.

Chang Xi was so frightened that Huarong turned pale. Seeing that her stomach was about to hit the ground, amidst the screams of the crowd, Li Longji put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

"Woo--" The queen let out a long breath of relief, and then said angrily: "Concubine Li, you haven't found out the matter yet, you are too presumptuous! What can you do if you hurt the emperor's heir in the belly of a talented person!"

Concubine Li looked at the queen with cold eyes, twisted her neck, very dissatisfied.

Li Longji held Chang Xi in his arms and stroked her chest to comfort her: "It's okay! I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Beads of sweat rolled down Chang Xi's forehead, and it took him a long time to recover. Looking at his protruding belly, he still had lingering fears about what happened just now.

"Concubine Li, you are too reckless!" Li Longji said to Concubine Li with a slight reproach.

"Your Majesty! It was her happiest spider that poisoned Ying'er! You have to make decisions for Ying'er!" Concubine Li said with her willow eyebrows raised in anger, relentlessly.

Yu Zhaorong frowned and said: "The concubine Li's words are wrong! Even if a talented person intends to harm Prince Ying, she can't predict the future. You know, it was Prince Ying who took the initiative to open that box!"

Concubine Li was at a loss for words after hearing this.

"Then according to sister Zhaorong, the person who released the spiders is not Ying'er, but - Your Majesty!" Feng Lu covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Everyone thought about it, and it was true. Every year, Li Longji personally opened the spider's begging box and commented on it. If Prince Ying hadn't clamored to open the box this time, Li Longji was most likely the one who was poisoned!
When Concubine Li heard this, she pointed at Chang Xi and cursed angrily: "Bitch, you actually intended to assassinate His Majesty!"

The queen waved her sleeves and shouted: "Concubine Li, don't talk nonsense!"

"Why did I ever talk nonsense! Isn't this brocade box belonged to her?" With a flick of Concubine Li's long sleeves, she released a sharp edge that had been restrained, Danfeng's eyes were filled with coldness, and she confronted the queen tit for tat!
Li Longji said in a deep voice: "The matter has not yet come to light, the two lovers should stop making noise!"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Li complained slightly: "Why do you still protect that lowly maidservant now! Although this brocade box was given to her by His Royal Highness Xue Wang, but if you think about it carefully, Xue Wang and your brotherhood Shen, how could he do such a rebellious thing! Moreover, King Xue directly admitted at the palace banquet that the brocade box and the spider were gifts from him. If he really wanted to murder His Majesty, how could he expose himself in such a stupid way! "

Li Longji also didn't believe that Li Ye would put poisonous spiders in the brocade box to harm him, but he was even less willing to believe that Chang Xi wanted to put him to death.

Concubine Li saw that Li Longji was silent, knelt down and pulled his sleeve robe, and said in tears: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten! She betrayed you and ran away with that guard when she was in Lishan, then she hated you for breaking up I killed them, so take this opportunity to kill you for revenge, please don't be blinded by her rhetoric!"

Bi Chuan saw that Concubine Li kept accusing Chang Xi of murdering Li Longji with a poisonous spider, but Chang Xi just stood there silently, so anxious that she stepped forward and explained, "Please Your Majesty, please be careful! Since this After the brocade box was handed over from His Royal Highness Xue Wang to the servants, Cai Ren never touched it with his hands because he was afraid of spiders! He didn’t even open the lid of the brocade box, how could it be that Cai Ren wanted to murder His Majesty! Cai Ren was pregnant with a dragon The fetus is extremely hard, I hope His Majesty will not listen to her words, if you wronged Cairen, you will hurt her heart again!"

The queen also said: "I don't believe that this is what Chang Xi did!"

Liu Meiren sneered and said: "The evidence is right in front of you, even if the empress doesn't believe it, she just doesn't want to believe it!"

"Liu Meiren speaks so convincingly, I want to ask my sister, what evidence can prove that this incident was done by a talented person!" Guo Shunyi said indifferently.

Liu Meiren snorted coldly, "She has long been hurting His Majesty's thoughts, and the brocade box and the hi spider belong to her name, isn't this considered evidence!"

Li Longji heard them quarreling back and forth, one head turned into two big ones, and when he saw Feng Lu standing there pretty and silent, overwhelmed, he asked, "Lu'er, what do you do about this?" look?"

Feng Lu said faintly: "The concubine doesn't care who did it, but I'm a little scared!"

Li Longji didn't expect her to say that, and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

There were tears in Feng Lu's bright eyes, and she said softly: "Lu'er is afraid when she thinks about the scene at that time, what if it's His Majesty..." When she said this, she was choked up and unable to speak.

nausea!The Queen, Concubine Hua and others cursed secretly in their hearts.

Hearing Feng Lu looked up at her, Li Longji felt tenderness in his heart, remembering that he hadn't gone to her Hanqing Temple for a long time because of Chang Xi, he couldn't help blaming himself.

Concubine Li was too lazy to care about Feng Lu's babblings, she just wanted to settle accounts with Chang Xi, she walked up and down her body coldly, and said: "You dare to swear by the child in your belly, you have never hated Your Majesty!"

Chang Xi was shocked when he heard this, and slowly knelt on the ground, thought for a long time, bit his lips and said: "The concubine really hated His Majesty deeply!"

Bi Chuan was angry and impatient, her chest heaving unceasingly, she thought to herself: How dare you say anything, this idiot!

Li Longji's bright eyes dimmed, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said sarcastically, "You are honest!"

Concubine Li said angrily: "Your Majesty, look! She admits it! Gao Lishi, why don't you drag this rebellious lowly maid out and beat him to death!"

"Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, Concubine Li, you are too presumptuous!" The queen's phoenix eyes widened and she glared at Concubine Li angrily.

Yu Zhaorong said: "Ms. Li, Ying'er was unfortunately poisoned. It is understandable that you are sad. This concubine is also a person who has lost a child. I can understand your feelings, but you also need to know that Chang Cairen's stomach She is still pregnant with a dragon heir, how can you call her a lowly maidservant!"

"Dragon heir?" Liu Meiren followed Yu Zhaorong's words with a sneer smile, "I don't know whose seed it is!"

"Presumptuous!" This time it was not the queen who was angry, but Li Longji!He raised his palm, and then gave Liu Meiren a resounding slap.

Liu Meiren was knocked down to the ground, covered her blushing face, and looked at Li Longji with a little fear, not daring to speak.

Chang Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, stroked her belly with her hands, feeling a chill in her heart. .Even if this child is born safely, will he be treated the same as other princes!She is a guilty person, running away from her husband - it is a crime to be torn apart in any dynasty, but it is Li Longji who let her go!But Li Longji is willing to let her go, others will not, this stain will be the best weapon to attack her and her children!

In any case, one should make the last effort for this unborn little life. If Li Longji doesn't believe in himself, if his love is based on possessiveness and unwillingness, then so be. .die!She thought so disheartenedly, with a world-weary and sad look on her face.

Li Longji's resolute face showed a bit of grief, he took a step forward, helped her up with both hands, and said apologetically: "I shouldn't doubt you!"

"Your Majesty, she has admitted it herself, why are you still protecting her!" Concubine Li stomped her feet angrily.
