Leng Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her, suddenly feeling a little disgusted. This woman and Shui Luolan grew up together. Why is there such a big gap?

However, in order to stabilize this woman, Leng Xi still nodded with a cold face,

"Of course I take what I said as true, but you can't go out and talk nonsense. Women can only live smoothly if they control their mouths."

Shui Chunhua bit her lip, brushed her long hair, blushed, and nodded shyly,

"Don't worry, Prince Xi, I won't tell anyone else about this. Then I will go back and wait for your good news."

Leng Xi frowned and shouted to the groom:

"parking."

The moment the car stopped, he opened the car curtain door and got out of the car, and then said to Shui Chunhua:

"Ask the driver to take you back. Remember what I told you. Don't talk nonsense, or someone will shut you up forever."

With these words behind him, he lowered the sedan curtain door and said coldly to the coachman:

"Send her to Changliu Village."

After receiving the order, the coachman raised his whip and slapped the horse on its back. The horse roared and sped off.

Shui Chunhua lifted the sedan curtain door and glanced at Leng Xi, then she snickered while shrinking her neck.

She said to herself very proudly,

"Shui Luolan, you just became Princess Yu. I, Shui Chunhua, will soon be the princess. When that day comes, I will stand in front of you and let you kowtow to me, hahaha..."

Thinking of this, she was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. She seemed to have seen herself living in the palace, becoming a concubine, and being served by palace maids and eunuchs.

Only Leng Xi himself knew that this was just a delaying tactic. His mother wanted him to turn the case over overnight. He had no other choice but to use both soft and hard tactics on these women.

Among them, only Shui Chunhua, a whimsical woman, was easy to fool. The other women would not retract their confessions unless their families were threatened.

While Leng Xi was lowering his head to ponder these things, a man blocked Leng Xi's way. He looked up with a cold face and met Li Tianyang's slightly stupid face.

"Prince Xi, your methods are high enough. Mr. Li admires him. I wonder if you have thought about whether you want to cooperate with us?"

Leng Xi hated these Chu people from the bottom of his heart. If his mother and concubine hadn't forced them inexplicably, he wouldn't have helped them even if they were beaten to death.

So, with a look of disdain on his face, he replied coldly:

"Go away! You fool, stay away from me, or I will send you directly to Shuntian Mansion."

After leaving these words, he didn't look back and walked away without hesitation.

Looking at his back, Li Tianyang had a proud smile on his face and murmured in a low voice:

"Sooner or later, you will come to beg me."

The moment before he finished speaking, a gust of evil wind blew by, and a fallen leaf blew on his face. He frowned and took the fallen leaf in his hand, then raised it to his eyes and tore the leaves into pieces.

The teeth were also clenching at this moment...

Leng Xi, who was traveling all the way, felt that he would not be able to feel at ease unless he understood this matter, so after leaving Shuntian Mansion, he went straight to the palace.

In Liyuan, Concubine Li turned a deaf ear to his questions and kept interrupting him.

"Xi'er, how are Qiaoqiao these days? She's about to give birth. You need to spend more time with her."

Leng Xi had no intention of replying to her question, but continued to ask:

"Mother, what's going on with that jade pendant? What's your relationship with the Chu people? Why should we help them? We should drive them out of Daning."

"Shut up."

Li Fei suddenly frowned and looked at him coldly, "I have already told you not to mention this matter for the time being, but you are disobedient. Not only can you not drive these people out, but when they come to find you,

You also need to persuade them nicely so as not to anger them."

"Why?"

Leng Xi's voice suddenly rose, with a sharp look in his eyes, "They are from the Chu State, and they are at odds with the Daning State. You still ask me to give them good advice? I will order people to arrest them now and send them to the Ministry of Punishment.

Go for questioning."

After saying this, Leng Xi turned around angrily and took long steps to leave.

"stop."

Li Fei stopped him with a stern voice. The moment Leng Xi stopped, she quickly came to him, looked at him with resentful eyes, bit her lower lip, and said sadly:

"Do you think I want this? I have no choice..."

At this point, Li Fei breathed a heavy sigh of relief, tightened her eyes, and shouted hysterically,

"I thought I could quietly be a royal concubine for the rest of my life, support you on your ascension to the throne, and watch your children grow up slowly, but who would have thought that what was supposed to come would come after all."

She raised the handkerchief in her hand, wiped it at the corner of her eyes, and continued:

"Now, my mother and concubine won't hide it from you. In fact, I am from the Chu State. I came to the palace by accident, became the imperial concubine, and gave birth to you. However, I grew up in the Chu State.

Big one, I can’t forget my roots!”

She looked at Leng Xi with a serious face, knowing that she could not tell him the truth, otherwise he would not be able to bear it.

Hearing this, Leng Xi looked at her with disbelief and shook his head sadly.

"No, you reported your ancestral home when you entered the palace. You are a woman from Jiangnan. How could you be from Chu? Don't lie to me."

"Xier..."

Seeing that Leng Xi was losing control of his emotions, Li Fei quickly stopped him and said, "Xier, I didn't lie to you. I have thought about it during this period. Since they are here and they said they can help you, why don't we use it?

As long as you can ascend to the throne, it doesn't matter what method you use."

"No, no, I won't let the Chu people come to help me, I don't need it."

"Xi'er, don't hold on to riddles. Can't you see the current situation in Daning Kingdom? The power of the military is in the hands of Liu Dechang, and Leng Yu is the general of the country. When will your father give you such an honor?

Pass you? Now in your father's heart, Leng Yu is already the best candidate for the emperor, so you can only rely on yourself to compete with them, and you have no soldiers and no power, how can you compete with Liu Dechang's millions of soldiers? And

How do you compare with Leng Yu, the general who governs the country?"

Leng Xi had already known about Li Fei's words, but he still could not accept help from the people of Chu.

So, he shook his head vigorously again in despair,

"Don't mention this matter again. I will solve it myself. I can only promise now that as long as those Chu people stop doing evil, I can turn a blind eye. Otherwise, I will never let them off lightly."

Leaving these words behind, he took long steps and left quickly like a gust of wind.

Looking at his back, Concubine Li's face suddenly turned pale. Aunt Lu hurriedly took two steps forward and whispered:

"Mother, please take care of yourself."

"My body does not belong to me in the first place. Whether I can keep it or not is not something I can decide."
