Chapter 191: Kill the donkey and take back military power
Even though Li Xiuzhu said it so clearly, the queen still felt unbelievable.
"Prince, how dare he...!"
"Besides, His Majesty's great treasure will be given to the prince sooner or later. Why would he?"
Li Xiuzhu shrugged.
"I don't know about that. Who knows what your son is suffering from?"
"Could there be a mistake? Maybe someone deliberately framed the prince?"
Li Xiuzhu shrugged again.
"I saw that His Majesty tied up the prince, so there should be no mistake. As for whether it was a frame-up as you mentioned, I don't know."
"But if you go back now, the prince will definitely die."
"His Majesty only tied up the prince at first, obviously because he cared about the relationship between father and son. But if you go back now, what will your Majesty think?"
"Do you think you are setting up a back-up plan and preparing to fight to the death?"
"Do you think that you, the queen, are also involved? You must know that you are now a suspect."
When the queen heard this, her whole body went limp and she could no longer stand.
If His Majesty thinks that she and the Crown Prince are conspiring to rebel together, you can imagine what awaits her.
"Consort...Xiuzhu, what should the Ai family do to keep the prince and me alive?"
Even though there was a lot of danger, she still couldn't let go of her son. After all, this was her only son, who carried 90% of her love and hope.
"The best way for the prince is not to move. Since your majesty only tied up the prince, he probably didn't want to kill him."
"At least that's what happens 80% of the time when you're not moving."
"As for you, don't move. Please take the initiative to plead guilty after returning to Beijing."
"Since you really don't know, His Majesty can only give you two ways at most."
"One is to throw you into the cold palace, and the other is to deprive you of your position as queen."
"..." After a long silence, the queen sighed quietly.
"Xiuzhu, if you become successful in the future, I hope that for Liuli's sake, you can help us."
Li Xiuzhu shrugged and smiled.
"A family, as it should be."
After speaking, Li Xiuzhu continued: "I have stayed long enough, and your Majesty will inevitably hear the news."
The Queen's expression changed when she heard this. Before she could speak, Li Xiuzhu continued: "If I ask, you will say that you want to use your power to pressure me and let me arrange for you to go to Beijing."
"I will have a showdown with you later about the prince's affairs. Please ask me for help."
"You tested me several times, but I didn't let go. Then you said you would give me two beauties and ten thousand taels of gold, so I helped you analyze the situation."
"You are not satisfied with the result, so you asked me to think of a way. I thought about it for a long time, and I can only think of one way, which is to make progress by retreating, sincerely admit my mistake, and beg your Majesty's forgiveness."
"Remember, be hesitant when you speak."
The queen nodded quickly when she heard this, looking extremely well-behaved.
Even though he was punished, Li Xiuzhu didn't stay long and left directly.
At this moment, everyone looked at Li Xiuzhu with strange eyes.
But no one dares to speak nonsense, and sometimes it can kill people if they are not stopped by words.
It's no wonder that their eyes are weird. Li Xiuzhu has been inside for an hour, and he is not allowed to get close to three feet outside. Anyone who can think has to make random guesses.
"Empress!?"
Hearing Liu Xi's voice, the queen said: "Come in."
Liu Xi then went in and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that nothing seemed to have changed inside.
"Empress, are we still going back to Beijing?"
"I won't go back. The Ai family is tired. You just have to keep the imperial tent."
Liu Xi was startled when he heard this. Are you tired?
Liu Xi asked cautiously: "Do you want to prepare bath water?"
The queen suddenly narrowed her eyes.
"No, let's talk about it when we go to bed at night."
"Go and prepare food. In an hour, the Ai family will be asked to get up for dinner."
After the queen finished speaking, she lay down on the dragon couch and said no more.
When Liu Xi saw the queen lying down and going out, she made arrangements in a low voice.
Qiu Lie's camp was stationed for seven days. During these seven days, Li Xiuzhu did not visit the Queen again except the first day.
On the contrary, the three princesses Li Liuli went to see the queen.
On this day, Wang Defa came to the Autumn Hunting Camp with the imperial edict.
"Prince-in-law, Your Majesty wants you to return to Beijing. In addition, His Majesty wants to ask if any of the remnants of the rebels have been captured besides the rebels."
Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.
"There are really three."
Li Xiuzhu handed the three strong men to Wang Defa and said at the same time: "I met dozens of assassins that day, but it was difficult to catch them at that time and they had to be interrogated."
"Several of the dead soldiers ate the poison, and there was nothing left."
"These three people ran away at that time. I arrested them afterwards. My lord, please watch and deal with them."
Wang Defa smiled when he heard this and said: "Now that the matter is over, the prince-in-law should return the military power as soon as possible."
Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this.
"Now?"
"Well, isn't it appropriate?"
Li Xiuzhu heard the words and said calmly: "It's not inappropriate, but I thought I had to meet His Majesty to hand over the matter."
"After all, His Majesty personally gave the things to you, so you should hand them over in person."
Wang Defa breathed a sigh of relief and said: "His Majesty is injured and the consort knows that he needs to recuperate now. Naturally, it is difficult to hand over the matter in person."
Li Xiuzhu nodded, called two ministers to witness, took out the tiger charm and handed it to Wang Defa.
"Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Wang."
"polite."
While Wang Defa took the tiger talisman, he said with confidence: "General, you have done a good job in escorting your Majesty this time. You will be rewarded when Your Majesty recovers."
Li Xiuzhu nodded and sent the people away before getting into his carriage.
Today they will be sent back to the capital by the people of the Sixteenth Guards.
Li Xiuzhu and Zeng Peiyun were in a carriage. Looking at Zeng Peiyun, Li Xiuzhu said: "No need to stare anymore. I will take you for a walk when we get to the city gate in a while."
"Then you can go."
At this time, Zeng Peiyun's mute point had been unlocked. Hearing this, he looked at Li Xiuzhu warily and asked, "What is your intention in doing this?"
"attempt?"
Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.
"What do you think?"
Zeng Peiyun frowned.
"I will not betray the organization."
"I have no interest in your organization. On the contrary, I am still slightly interested in you."
Zeng Peiyun immediately glared at Li Xiuzhu.
"Don't even think about it."
Li Xiuzhu looked at the innocent Zeng Peiyun and smiled when he heard this.
It should be considered naive, at least compared to a little fox like him.
"Unfortunately, you have no choice."
"you……"
"Don't worry, I won't force you..."
Li Xiuzhu continued: "As long as you accompany me at the gate of the city, you will be free."
"Wherever do you want to go in the future?"
"But I believe that as long as you don't want to die, you will definitely come back."
Zeng Peiyun was startled. He didn't know why at first, but then his expression changed.
"You... have such a vicious plan."
Having said that, she has never experienced so much, but that doesn't mean she is stupid.
Li Xiuzhu deliberately brought her to show to the people in the organization.
When the time comes, the organization will definitely think that she betrayed them, and will definitely hunt her down.
Just like what he said, it's either death, or if you don't want to die, you can only find him.
