"Kou Wanqing, I originally wanted to give you a chance, but if you don't cherish it, what can I do? Hahaha... cough cough!"
Li Keqing finally climbed onto the dragon chair with unremitting efforts and was panting after sitting on it.
"Ask these pedantic people why they are willing to obey my orders?"
I quickly glanced at the faces of the people present who spoke of benevolence, justice and morality, and all of them lowered their heads in shame.
Not ashamed to ask, I said:
"have no idea!"
Li Keqing answers all questions.
"Because some of their wives and children are in my hands, some have been poisoned by me, and some are even more pitiful. I just gave them a little sweetness.
They are willing to die for me. You say, what is the use of keeping these people? Without these people, what is the use of your country?"
"You are so cruel!"
Gritting my teeth, I looked at the half-dead man not far away but sitting aloof. Why did I feel loyal and honest when I first met him, but I didn't think he was a scumbag among scumbags?
"Li Keqing, don't make another mistake! Hand over the antidote and the hostages, and the ministers may forgive you."
"Forgive? Do I need forgiveness from these poor people? You really know how to tell a joke. Even if you want to kill me, these people will probably kill you first, hahaha, they are reluctant to let me die!"
The situation turned around in a dramatic way. The righteous men just now cast an unfriendly look at me immediately after Li Keqing finished speaking. Concubine Ping smartly pushed me away, allowing me to get closer to Feidao.
Situ Quan also said with contempt:
"Brother Yelu, your group of 'loyal' ministers are really smart!"
The irony of Situ Quan's words couldn't be more obvious. After all, it was the truth. Some old ministers who had no choice but to bow their heads in shame did not say a word, neither caught me nor helped me.
"Really? Li Keqing, are you an ambitious bitch worthy of threatening people?"
Feidao's smile was not as wild as Li Keqing's, but the cold beauty's contemptuous smile was enough to freeze the air for three seconds.
"Who are you? You have no right to talk to me."
Feidao sneered again.
"I'm different from you. You are a thing. As a thing, you might as well give it a try by using your inner strength."
Li Keqing looked at the flying knife suspiciously, but still took a breath. Before he could lift it, he fell down in frustration and looked at his hand in disbelief.
"What's going on?"
Feidao just rolled his eyes.
"If I ask you to raise your Qi, you should raise your Qi. It's embarrassing for someone with such an IQ to want to be an emperor. My flying knife is highly poisonous. If you don't raise your Qi, you might still be able to live for a few more hours."
"Bitch, you're cheating on me!"
The corner of my mouth twitched as I looked at the flying knife with a disapproving look on my face, what a sinister girl!
A sinister woman who has no feelings after being hurt by love!
Li Keqing, how can you, a man with only the courage of an ordinary man, have the nerve to provoke such a scheming woman!
"Bitch, give me the antidote!"
"Your life, in exchange for so many lives of these ministers, is a good deal no matter how you calculate it, so why bother."
Feidao shrugged and returned to me.
"Your Majesty, the rebel party has been eliminated. Since these so-called ministers are not loyal, keeping them is just a waste of the people's expectations for them. It would not be a bad thing to take this opportunity to carry out reforms."
"That makes sense."
I nodded with satisfaction.
What could be more satisfying than using no force but still making people miserable.
