After listening to everyone's stories, Leng Shouren waved his hand to signal them to leave.
Everyone left quickly as if they had received amnesty.
They originally thought they would have to shed a layer of skin even if they were not dead. After all, the assassination of the prince was involved. Each of them was a serious suspect and would be interrogated repeatedly until the real culprit was found.
I didn't expect the emperor to let them go so easily.
Ding Rui hesitated to speak at the side, but after looking at Leng Shouren's gloomy face, he immediately shut up.
Leng Shouren waved his hand.
Ding Rui nodded lightly, walked up to a burly man, and whispered a few instructions.
Soon all the surrounding guards and palace guards left, and the huge paddock became empty. Only the breeze whistled through the treetops. Leng Shouren stood beside the gloomy woods without saying a word, just looking up at the sky.
.
Ding Rui stood beside him, breathing lightly so as not to disturb him.
After a while, Ding Rui saw that he was motionless or in a daze, so he could only call softly: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
"Well." Leng Shouren looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, "Ding Rui, do you think I, the emperor, am a coward?"
"Why did your Majesty say this?" Ding Rui hurriedly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is so wise and wise, which minister in the court does not respect him?"
"Alas..." Leng Shouren shook his head and said, "I, the emperor, do act like a coward and it's very tasteless!"
Ding Rui advised: "Your Majesty, although the prince died, he was not reincarnated, nor was his soul scattered. He just went to the outer world. The emperor can still see him, so there is no need to be sad."
"Haha..." Leng Shouren laughed and sighed: "As an emperor but can't protect his own son, what else can he be?... You should go back first, I want to go alone."
"Your Majesty, please don't hurt the dragon's body." Ding Rui bowed and retreated.
Leng Shouren suddenly flashed and disappeared beside the woods. The next moment he appeared in a woods outside Chongming City.
He originally wanted to move directly to Duke Yi's Mansion, but found that there was an invisible force blocking his senses, making him unable to move in directly. This was obviously Chu Li's work, and he didn't know what kind of treasure was used.
Ordinary formations cannot affect the masters of the gods. The formations that can block the gods are almost lost. Tianwaitian does not allow the existence of such formations in order to establish the supreme prestige of the masters of the gods.
When he arrived outside Chongming City, he looked at Chongming City from a distance, feeling the prosperity and exuberance in Chongming City, and shook his head. This little-known Chongming City actually had a hint of the divine capital.
He crossed over in a few steps, passed directly through Chongming City, and arrived outside the Duke's Mansion. Then he hid it from the eyes of the guards and entered the Duke's Mansion.
He was about to go to Chu Li's yard when he suddenly turned around and looked back, seeing Chu Li standing not far away and looking at him quietly.
He clasped his fists: "Chu Li, I want to talk to you."
"Your Majesty, please!" Chu Li nodded and walked on the waves. The two of them walked on the waves and came to his island.
He was not at the Duke's Mansion originally, but at Yinxian Mountain. He sensed the fluctuations in the formation at the Duke's Mansion, and rushed back in an instant to see Leng Shouren.
The two came to a small pavilion on the island and sat in it.
Xueling's white clothes fluttered like snow as she came closer. She saluted: "Young Master."
"Make tea." Chu Li said.
Xueling nodded, saluted Leng Shouren again, and retreated.
Leng Shouren nodded lightly and looked at Chu Li: "I came here this time to make a deal with you."
Chu Li said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you say so!"
He had quite complicated feelings about the emperor Leng Shouren. If it had been Leng Wufeng, he would have killed him with one sword. No matter if he was the emperor of Daji or not, the emperor Leng Shouren prevented him from doing so easily. The key point was that he was the emperor of Daji or not.
This is the weakness of women's kindness.
As an emperor, the benevolence of women is indeed a fatal weakness, but for others, it is an advantage, which shows that he still retains his humanity and is not just an emperor, but also a god or an ordinary person.
When Leng Shouren threatened Xiao Qi, Chu Li immediately killed him, but because he could swear because of Leng Zhifei, Chu Li withdrew his murderous intention and could live for a while longer. He decided to kill him next time he angered him.
Leng Shouren said: "I want to abdicate and ascend to heaven, and I want Xu'an to succeed me!"
Chu Li smiled: "Why did your Majesty suddenly ascend to heaven in such a hurry?"
"I've had enough of this position!" Leng Shouren laughed at himself: "Before I got the throne, I tried desperately to seize it, but after sitting on this position, I realized that it was not as beautiful and free as I imagined.
On the contrary, it is even more painful and uncomfortable, it would be better to be a prince!"
Chu Li said: "Abdication because of this? Your Majesty, please don't joke!"
If others say this, he doesn't believe it, but if Leng Shouren says this, he somewhat believes it, because Leng Shouren is strong on the outside but candid on the inside, solemn and cold on the outside, but weak on the inside, and his true colors will show up when forced by extreme circumstances.
"Feng'er is dead." Leng Shouren laughed miserably: "Isn't it ridiculous that I, the emperor, can't protect my own son? Why do I have the dignity to be an emperor!"
Chu Li said: "Your Majesty, why can't you think about it? Didn't the late emperor also protect Prince An?"
Leng Shouren shook his head: "I only have this one son!"
He is now a god, and his concubines cannot have martial arts, otherwise their bodies will be unable to bear it. However, he had sequelae of the initial initiation. Even though he could practice the way of husband and wife, he could not have any more children.
Chu Li nodded slowly: "Because the prince ascended to heaven, your majesty also has to take care of him?"
"Yes." Leng Shouren nodded slowly: "Chu Li, haven't you been working hard to promote Xu'an's succession? I promise you to let Xu'an succeed!"
"Where is the prince?" Chu Li said.
"It is impossible for him to succeed." Leng Shouren said solemnly: "I will never allow him to succeed!"
Chu Li shook his head: "Since I have become the prince, I will naturally succeed to the throne. Otherwise, how will the world view him? How will Prince Ping deal with himself?"
"It seems that you and the prince have a very close relationship, and yet you actually gave way to each other before the throne!" Leng Shouren said solemnly, "We are deeply separated from each other. Aren't you afraid that he will turn his back on you after he becomes the throne?"
Chu Li shook his head.
If he were a master of heaven and earth, he would naturally be afraid, but as a god now, he believed that King Ping would not act recklessly.
More importantly, he had already promoted Prince Ping to become the crown prince, and then suddenly replaced Xu An as the emperor. What would Prince Ping think?
Even if Xu'an becomes the emperor, he still has to rely on King Ping to lead the army. No matter how smart Xu'an is, he can't lead the army. There is no god general in Daji, only King Ping. Xu'an can't use King Ping, so this emperor will be troublesome, so it's better not to act like one.
.
As for whether Prince Ping would be concerned about Xu'an after becoming emperor, that doesn't matter.
"If you want him to succeed to the throne, you must agree to a condition!" Leng Shouren snorted: "Otherwise, I would rather pass the throne to my ninth brother!"
"Tell me and listen." Chu Li said.
"Kill Leng Zhifei!" Leng Shouren said solemnly.
"...It turned out to be the prince killed by Leng Zhifei." Chu Li suddenly realized, looked at Leng Shouren with some pity, and sighed: "Could this be the emperor's home?"
He dismissed the worry that this was a trap set up by Leng Shouren and Leng Zhifei after they joined forces.
"If you kill him, I will pass the throne to Prince Ping!" Leng Shouren said solemnly: "I can swear this!"
"...Okay, I agree!" Chu Li said solemnly.
He suddenly flashed and disappeared. The next moment, he appeared in Prince Ping's Mansion, which was also the Prince's Mansion. He directly dragged Prince Ping to appear on his own island. The next moment, he disappeared again.
Prince Ping looked at Leng Shouren in surprise, not expecting Leng Shouren to appear here.
