Leng Xi gritted his teeth and looked at Concubine Li, his eyes full of confusion, and his heart began to become more and more angry, and he said bluntly:

"Mother, concubine, in the past five years, you have been forcing me all the time? My son has told you many times that you will not associate with Chu people, why do you still insist on doing this?"

When he said this, veins were pulsing on his face and his face was as pale as paper.

Li Fei sneered indifferently, then stood up from the chair in the main hall, walked slowly to his side, and said seriously:

"Xi'er, it's not that the mother-in-law wants to force you, it's that you have to do this. Don't think that the competition for the throne between you and Leng Yu will be as simple as you think. Then you are wrong. Leng Yu has more than one person behind him.

Liu Dechang, your father, and Shui Luolan. Shui Luolan has a very good reputation among the people in the capital. Even if you and Leng Yu are on opposite sides in the future, the people will support him unconditionally. But you, only

My concubine, although my concubine has accumulated some strength over the years, compared with these people, you can only use your arms to twist your thighs, so the people from the Western Regions are the key to your success."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Tianyang walked in with a masked woman in black.

He came to Leng Xi and Li Fei, cupped his fists and saluted:

"Concubine Li, Prince Xi."

Leng Xi looked at him with disdain. He hated these Westerners from the bottom of his heart.

Li Fei looked at him, nodded, looked at the masked woman, and asked darkly:

"Is this the woman you're talking about?"

Li Tianyang raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Yes, her name is Xina..."

The woman named Xina did not salute when she saw Li Fei, but said nothing and looked at her sharply. On the contrary, Li Fei bowed to her respectfully.

Leng Xi was very curious about Li Fei's behavior. He looked at her in confusion, but Li Fei had already asked Xina and Li Tianyang to sit down.

This time, Li Fei did not sit in the front seat, but sat opposite them. She gestured with her eyes to Leng Xi to sit next to her. Although Leng Xi was a little angry, he still shook his clothes and sat down.

After seeing everyone seated, Li Tianyang was the first to speak:

"The king has sent word that this time we will not only prevent Leng Yu from coming back, but also make the old emperor abdicate. We have already arranged everything on the outside. We are just waiting for you and Prince Xi to cooperate with you to do things in the capital.

"

His words brought a hint of coldness to Leng Xi's eyes. He looked at Li Tianyang, raised his finger and pointed at him and asked:

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Li Tianyang looked at him and suddenly chuckled,

"Prince Xi, don't you want to sit on the throne? If you want to, don't ask me what I want to do, just do what I say."

Li Fei also kept winking at him, and then looked at the masked woman and Li Tianyang with a smile.

"Don't mind, Xi'er just can't think about it for the moment, I will persuade him."

Li Tianyang suddenly pounded the table impatiently and shouted angrily, "It's been five years and he still hasn't thought about it? Now is the best time to take action. If you don't cooperate with us this time, then our Chu State will not help you."

If you ascend this throne, you will also need to change your name and surname."

"You are presumptuous."

Leng Xi suddenly stood up, pointed his finger at him, and roared with a dark face:

"How dare you come to this king and say such outrageous words? I will order people to arrest you now. Do you believe it or not?"

"Hahaha……"

Li Tianyang raised his head to the sky without fear and shouted, "Prince Xi, are you calling people in? Do you think we dare to come to your Prince Xi's mansion and admit our identity and purpose without any clues? Huh!"

After saying this, he turned to look at the pale Concubine Li, with a cold light in his eyes, and said sternly:

"Didn't you tell him who you were?"

Hearing what he said, Li Fei shook her head at him in a panic, "No... don't worry, I will persuade Xi'er. You can come back in a few days."

The woman who had been silent all this time suddenly raised her eyebrows in anger and said:

"I don't have much time to play with you here. Please give me a reply within three days. Otherwise, Daning Jiangshan will change its surname to Meng!"

After leaving these words, she stood up and glanced at Leng Xi with half-closed eyes before leaving. Then she rolled up her sleeves and left. Li Tianyang saw this and followed quickly.

Li Fei wanted to explain something, but the other party had already left, not even giving her a chance to speak.

When only Leng Xi and Li Fei were left here, he looked at Li Fei with cold eyes and questioned her word by word,

"What is going on? Why do you feel so scared when you see them?"

Li Fei was stunned for a moment, then bit her lower lip, stood up from her seat, and paced back and forth in the room. She seemed very nervous.

After a while, she finally stopped, looked back at Leng Xi, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with an earthy face:

"Xi'er, since the matter has reached this point, my mother-in-law can no longer hide it from you. In fact... I am actually a craftsman sent by the Chu State to the Daning State. The Chu State is kind to me and allows me to grow from a little palace maid.

After becoming the imperial concubine, I have enjoyed a prosperous life for so many years, and it’s time to do something for my country."

She said this in an understatement, but Leng Xi was frightened when he heard it. He looked at Li Fei blankly, as if he didn't understand, and shook his head vigorously,

"Concubine, are you kidding me?"

Concubine Li looked at him solemnly and shook her head heavily, "Concubine I know that you can't accept it for a while, but this is the truth, so now we have no way to go. If your father knows my identity, then you

It will not end well. Now the king of Chu has promised me that as long as I cooperate with them to seize the kingdom of Daning, the position of emperor will still be yours..."

"no no……"

Leng Xi looked at Li Fei as if he was dreaming. His eyes, which had always been indifferent, suddenly turned red.

"That can't be the case. You lied to me, right? You wanted me to cooperate with the Chu people, so you made up this lie to deceive me, right?"

"Xier..."

Li Fei suddenly raised her voice to interrupt him, then walked slowly to him, sighed and continued:

"The mother-in-law also hopes that this is a lie, and the mother-in-law does not want to be a trickster and have people criticize her behind her back. But this is a fact, an unchangeable fact. The people of Chu let the mother-in-law do this safely in Daning Country.

Having been an imperial concubine for many years is already considered lenient. If you can take this opportunity to sit on the throne, no one will ever know the identity of the imperial concubine Xizuo. We, mother and son, can also safely sit in the world of Daning Kingdom. This way

Is it not good?"

"Concubine, do you want me to be a puppet emperor controlled by the Chu people?"

"That would be more pleasant than becoming a prisoner. Moreover, the Emperor of Chu State also promised his mother and concubine that as long as they divide a part of the land for them and pay tribute to them on time, they will not interfere too much in the affairs of Daning State, nor will they

It will interfere with what you want to do."
