The smile on He Xianrong's lips turned cold. Xiao Xixi noticed something was wrong. Before she could speak, He Xianrong quickly reached out and clamped Leng Moran's neck with her long white fingers.
Xiao Xixi hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty——"
Cui Qi shouted towards the outside of the palace: "Here comes someone, escort him——"
He Xianrong ignored their shouts and seemed not to care at all. She just looked at Leng Moran intently, opened her red lips lightly, and said in a casual and natural tone: "I want you to give up the throne."
Leng Moran stared at the mother-in-law in front of him. He did not believe that his mother-in-law would harm him.
"You are not my mother-in-law!"
He Xianrong smiled coldly, "You just promised to help me, but you turned your back on me so quickly. You, the king of Chu State, are nothing more than that."
"What does this mean?" Leng Moran did not break away from He Xianrong, he just wanted to hear her purpose.
Xiao Xixi also saw that He Xianrong had no martial arts skills and Leng Moran was acting like this deliberately to pretend to be controlled by her.
As long as Leng Moran thinks about it, he can get rid of it at any time.
However, he didn't.
Therefore, after guessing Leng Mo Ran's purpose, Xiao Xixi signaled the guards who rushed in to stand still.
He Xianrong's eyes were cold, and his voice was as cold as ice water in a deep pool, "Didn't you just ask me about your father? I will tell you that I started that fire."
Leng Moran was shocked and speechless. He Xianrong ignored his surprised look and continued: "It was also me who drugged your father's tea, causing him to faint in the fire and unable to escape. It was also me who was there in the fire.
Strong alcohol was poured around the fire scene, making it impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to."
It's like saying something irrelevant.
"Then how did you escape?" Leng Moran's voice was trembling with excitement.
Recalling the past, He Xianrong's eyes became distant, "I knocked out a purchasing woman who was about my age and threw her in, and then used her identity to leave the palace. I thought I would face some trouble,
I didn’t expect it to be so easy.”
Leng Moran never thought that the truth about the fire was like this. When he learned about it, he rushed over and saw a fire that could not be extinguished.
After that, he lost sight.
Prince Yan's Mansion in the North was in chaos in an instant. Everyone didn't know what to do, but Manager Qin led his people to bring him back to the capital.
But his mother-in-law didn't care at all, she was as indifferent as a spectator.
Then, did she see him in agony outside the fire scene?
Do you know how painful it was for him to lose his parents?
She probably doesn't care.
Because she was responsible for all this.
Thinking of this, Leng Mo Ran's heart hurt as if someone had gouged it out with a blunt instrument.
"Why are you doing this?"
He Xianrong found it funny, "Maybe it's because I am from the Dayin royal family."
Leng Moran was stunned. He had never thought that his mother-in-law was actually involved with Dayin.
"Even if you are from the Dayin royal family, your father has done something wrong. He respects and loves you, but you are willing to harm his life!" Leng Moran said, his eyes turning slightly red.
"What did you do wrong?" He Xianrong was also said to be angry, "Just because he is the prince of Chu! He is also the most proud son of Emperor Hongwu. I thought he was dead and the Chu Kingdom fell into chaos.
I thought that but the loser Lao Si missed it. Fortunately, our people successfully penetrated into the palace and took the life of Lao Si."
Leng Moran stared at her in shock, "Uncle Huang is also one of you...then the Imperial Master is one of yours?"
"Of course," He Xianrong had no patience to listen anymore, "I just want to ask you, will you agree to give up the throne to me?"
Leng Moran felt a chill in his heart and sneered: "So what if we let him out? Dayin is already gone."
"As long as the royal family is still there, Dayin can be rebuilt. Give up your position to your cousin, and he will treat you well."
Leng Moran asked with a trembling voice: "You want me to give up the throne to someone else?"
"It is none other than the bloodline left by my imperial brother, and it is also Dayin's orthodoxy. If he ascends the throne, he can help Dayin and restore my glory to Dayin."
At this moment, Leng Moran felt that the person in front of him didn't look like his mother-in-law, but more like a crazy devil.
In her heart, there was only Dayin, as if she didn't care about anything else.
The husband can kill him with his own hands, or he can let his son give way to others without mercy.
Even though this would probably cost him his life.
Leng Moran sneered and asked: "If you give up the throne to him, will you be Dayin?"
"The Kingdom of Chu took away the throne from our Dayin, and now you are returning it. Is there any problem?"
"But I am also your son." Leng Moran felt severe pain in his heart.
He Xianrong said matter-of-factly: "It is precisely because you are my son that I specifically asked your cousin for grace. When he ascends the throne in the future, he will spare your life."
He gave up the throne and all he got was that he would be spared?
How could his mother and concubine say this?
The surprise of meeting again after a long separation was diluted by the pain in my heart.
Leng Moran asked coldly: "What if I don't agree?"
He Xianrong tightened her fingers around his neck, "Since we can let you sit on this throne, we can also pull you down."
"Then why are you asking me? Why don't you just do it?" Leng Moran looked cold, as if he was looking forward to death.
"You!" He Xianrong was speechless for a moment. If it was really so easy for her to help her nephew ascend the throne, she would not push Leng Moran up first.
What she thought was that as long as she pushed Leng Moran up, she would be able to find a way to make him give up his seat to his nephew in the future.
He Xianrong's green-white fingers tightened tighter and tighter, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.
Tears fell from Leng Moran's eyes. He did not expect that his mother-in-law would be such a person.
He closed his eyes slightly and seemed to finally make up his mind, "I promise you."
He Xianrong slowly let go of his hand and patted his shoulder gently, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "This is what a good mother-in-law is. In the past few days, you can live peacefully in this palace."
Here, my mother and concubine will make arrangements together. When the time comes, all I need is for you to sign the abdication edict."
Xiao Xixi didn't think Leng Moran would really give up. She subconsciously looked at Leng Moran, only to see Leng Moran nodded slightly towards her.
Later, He Xianrong controlled Leng Moran and gave orders to the outside world.
Leng Moran and Xiao Xixi were locked up in Funing Palace together.
When she was surrounded by trustworthy people, Xiao Xixi asked: "Your Majesty, this..."
Leng Moran put away his sadness and asked: "Is your mirror still there?"
Xiao Xixi was slightly stunned and nodded quickly, "Yes."
"Contact your uncle and tell him the situation in the palace."
"My father doesn't have military power now." Xiao Xixi didn't think it would be useful for the Xiao family to know.
"My uncle is still in the army, and he is familiar with General Huo, who is now in charge of the military. Let him come forward, and we will cooperate with General Huo inside and outside to wipe out all the remaining evildoers in Dayin."
It turns out that Leng Moran had such thoughts.
Xiao Xixi felt his loneliness, grabbed his hand and comforted him, "It will all pass."
Leng Moran smiled and stroked her forehead, "Don't worry, these won't defeat me."
If he had heard his biological mother say such words in the past, he would have been heartbroken to the point of collapse.
But now, he has someone he wants to protect, so he will go on strong.
Even if the opponent is his mother-in-law, he will never allow her to hurt Xiao Xixi.
Leng Moran looked at Xiao Xixi affectionately with his brows.
