It was Qingci, the sister who accompanied Li Chengqian when he grew up...
Li Chengqian never imagined that one day she would betray him.
He never even thought that these people around him would betray him.
He didn't have many friends. Apart from Chang Sun Chong and Cheng Hualiang, he only had these people who had grown up with him.
But among these few people, a traitor emerged, someone who wanted to help outsiders kill him...
To be honest, at this moment, Li Chengqian had the urge to stab himself twice.
How the hell am I such a failure?
Not a single fucking friend of mine didn’t tell me, and he was so fucking naive.
This is simply being played in the palm of your hand, and you still have to help count the money...
Li Chengqian raised his head and exhaled a long breath: "Sister Qingci, we grew up together."
"We have always talked about everything."
"If you're short of money, tell me what you want, tell me, and I'll give it to you."
"But I just can't figure out why you betrayed me..."
Faced with Li Chengqian's questioning.
Qingci pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
Seeing her like this, Li Chengqian roared at her: "Speak to me, tell me, why on earth are you doing this?"
"Am I, Li Chengqian, sorry for you in some way?"
"Did I, Li Chengqian, do something wrong that you will never forget?"
"No."
"Your Highness did nothing."
Qingci finally spoke.
She looked up at Li Chengqian: "What you did is what you did, there is nothing to defend."
"Is this your explanation?"
Li Chengqian's face was full of bitterness: "You know that's not what I want to hear."
"But that's all I can say."
Qingci knelt down directly to Li Chengqian.
She looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, please don't force me." Boom!
Qing Ci hit her head on the ground: "Poison wine, Bai Ling, beheading me, just like giving it to your slave."
"In consideration of our friendship over so many years, please give me a happy life."
She pursed her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
His body was trembling slightly because of his excitement.
Anyone can see that her mood is not calm at the moment.
In the Prince of Qin's Mansion, there is food, drink, accommodation, entertainment, salary, and rewards.
Even if she were to be compared with ordinary ladies outside, it would still be a huge concession.
How could she, a child from a poor family, be dissatisfied?
It would be great if there was a choice for everything in this world.
If she had a choice, how could she be willing to betray Li Chengqian...
Although she is not like Xiao Chuzi, she has followed Li Chengqian for a long time.
But he was sent to him by Empress Changsun when he was eight years old.
Counting now, it has been almost seven years since they first met.
After spending seven years together day and night, how could Li Chengqian not understand her nature?
If this were not the case, just seeing her move the cabinet, Li Chengqian would have had her arrested long ago without saying anything.
Why bother forcing her to tell the truth?
Li Chengqian sighed, then walked aside and sat down, and said: "Sister Qingci, we have been together for so many years, do you think I am a fool?"
"Absolutely not."
Qing Ci said without raising her head: "In my heart, His Highness is the smartest person in the world."
"Since I am the smartest, then don't hide it from me."
"After all, I can guess some things."
"It's just that I want you to tell me personally."
Li Chengqian glanced at the Qingci on the ground and said, "Tell me why you did this."
He knew that although Qingci had a reserved temperament and did not like to talk, she was thoughtful and extremely intelligent.
How could such a smart person not think that doing these things would sooner or later lead to revelations?
At that time, how can we get a good ending?
She is not one of those aristocratic families who have no way out and can only choose to support Li Tai and retain the hope of survival.
She is Li Chengqian's close attendant. If Li Chengqian ascends the throne, she will also ascend to heaven.
Even if she cannot marry Li Chengqian and become a concubine, she will still become an internal official in the harem.
What reason did she have for choosing to help Li Tai?
As long as you are not a fool, you can tell that there is definitely something going on here.
And what Li Chengqian wants to know now is exactly this.
Seeing Qingci, he still didn't open his mouth.
Li Chengqian's face turned cold: "Do you want me to tell my father about this?"
"Then let my father take all the people inside and outside Prince Qin's palace to the prison for questioning?"
"Or can you just watch the people you call each other sisters die in front of your eyes?"
"No, it has nothing to do with them or anyone else."
Qingci looked up at Li Chengqian: "I am the only one who did this."
"But if I believe it, will my father believe it?"
Li Chengqian strode up to Qingci, squatted down and looked at her: "Sister Qingci, I know you love me the most."
"Even if you don't think about others, you still have to think about me. Can't you bear to see me cast a shadow because of this, making me afraid to trust people around me from now on?"
"Can you just bear to watch me become a tyrant who would rather betray the world than let the world betray me because of this matter?"
"Sister Qingci, I beg you, just tell the truth..."
Look at Li Chengqian’s sincerity After hearing these words, Qing Ci's expression was very painful, but she still did not speak.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.
He stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms, patted her back gently and said, "That's all, if you don't want to say it, just don't say it."
"I won't force you anymore. After all, there are already enough people forcing you."
"And I know you are helpless, so I don't blame you. Don't worry, I won't kill you, nor will I let you die..."
Li Chengqian lowered his head and glanced at Qingci and said, "You stay in the mansion for a few days. After some time, the wind and waves calm down, I will send you to Mobei."
Hearing this, Qingci looked up at Li Chengqian with tears in her eyes: "I...I made such a big mistake, you won't punish me?"
"Why should I punish you?"
Li Chengqian grabbed her wrist, pointed at the obvious scratches and pinch marks, and said, "You have already punished yourself, haven't you?"
Obviously, these marks were made by Qingci himself because he could not bear the condemnation of his conscience.
Seeing this, Qingci couldn't help but lower his head.
Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, sighed softly and said, "Okay, don't cry. I have something to do. I'll leave first. Just pretend that nothing happened today. You continue to do your thing."
After saying that, he slowly stood up and walked straight out.
And just when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped.
Then, he looked back at Qing Ci and said, "Use scissors to cut out the words at the bottom of the drawing and send it to him."
"And don't forget to bring it back to me after he finishes copying it. After all, this drawing is very important to me."
After saying that, Li Chengqian walked out of the room without looking back.
Qingci did not cry when she was tortured.
Qingci didn't cry after being discovered by Li Chengqian.
But at this moment, after hearing Li Chengqian's last words, Qingci couldn't bear it anymore and lay on the ground crying loudly.
