Chapter 745 Testing each other
Concubine Li was so frightened that she couldn't sleep all night. She meditated in the Buddhist temple all night. The next day, she still had two big dark circles under her eyes.
Jianlan didn't expect that King Nan Xiao would actually enter the palace. She was a little afraid that she would be exposed.
However, she did not dare to disobey King Nan Xiao's order and could only respond and do as she was told.
"Empress Li is resting in the bedroom. Your Majesty, please follow me."
Prince Nan Xiao followed Jian Lan and walked into Concubine Li's bedroom.
At that time, Concubine Li was sitting at the desk, writing calligraphy with her head down.
She was absent-minded the whole night, and only by sitting here and practicing calligraphy could she calm down temporarily.
Concubine Li did not look up, but she caught a glimpse of Jianlan coming in with a guard out of the corner of her eye.
Her face immediately darkened and she rebuked: "Jianglan, do you still understand the rules? Who told you to bring the guards in without my permission?"
Before Jianlan could speak, King Nan Xiao's voice rang out.
"Why, now that I want to see you, I have to learn the rules?"
When Concubine Li heard the sound, she was so frightened that her hand trembled, and the brush on her fingertips slipped down, and the ink stained the rice paper below black.
She quickly raised her head and looked at the guard in front of her.
There was a strange face in front of him. The man had a handsome appearance and looked to be about thirty years old. His body shape was almost the same as King Nan Xiao.
Concubine Li knew without even having to think about it that Prince Nan Xiao must have worn a human skin mask and pretended to be a guard to enter the palace.
Apart from anything else, Jianlan had met King Nan Xiao before, so she couldn't just bring other people in casually.
Concubine Li quickly stood up and walked in front of King Nan Xiao.
She asked nervously, "Zhenglang, didn't you leave? Why are you here again?"
She clearly remembered that King Nan Xiao came to her bedroom last night and forced her to take abortion medicine.
Concubine Li thought that the other party had already left the palace, but unexpectedly, he changed into a guard's uniform and came to Weiyang Palace to find her today.
She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous.
King Nan Xiao thought that Concubine Li's question was very strange. It was clearly his first time here, so what did he mean by coming again?
However, he did not pursue the matter, but said: "I heard that you are pregnant with my brother's child. This is such a big happy event, of course I have to come to the palace to congratulate you."
Concubine Li: "..."
How could she not hear that King Nan Xiao was speaking in anger?
The more calm the other person's face is, the angrier he is inside.
Concubine Li hurriedly said: "Zhenglang, it's not like that. Let me explain it to you."
"I didn't betray you on purpose, but Emperor Jingyang was too shameless and drugged my water."
"When I woke up the next day, I had already lost my virginity. This was really not my intention."
Upon hearing this, King Nan Xiao sneered.
"You have never lost your virginity in these twenty-three years. How come you lost your virginity when you are old and ugly?"
Concubine Li: "..."
Concubine Li: "!!!"
The four words "old and ugly" were like a thunderclap, exploding over Concubine Li's head.
She had some difficulty breathing...
She had always thought that she was extremely beautiful in the eyes of King Nan Xiao.
King Nan Xiao would often praise her beautiful figure in front of her.
She never thought that the other party would actually say that she was old and ugly in front of her.
Concubine Li was devastated. Jian Lan quickly approached her and said, "My Lady Concubine Li, the prince didn't mean that."
"He is angry now, so he said what he wanted to say. It will be fine once he calms down."
Having said that, Jianlan was secretly happy.
No insult that anyone said to Concubine Li was as devastating as King Nan Xiao's words that she was old and ugly.
If she hadn't been afraid that the two would start quarreling in Weiyang Palace and expose her pretending to be Prince Nan Xiao to scare Concubine Li last night, she would not have been willing to intervene in this matter.
After hearing Jianlan's words, Concubine Li felt a little better.
Even Emperor Jingyang couldn't resist her beauty. How could she be old and ugly?
Prince Nan Xiao was indeed angry at this moment, so Concubine Li thought that he was just speaking in anger.
She thought for a moment and coaxed him, "Zhenglang, listen to me and let me explain."
"Although I am pregnant with Emperor Jingyang's child, you are the only one I love in my heart."
"It's not that I haven't thought about aborting this child, but with this child, Emperor Jingyang will be more favored and tolerant of me, and I can say more good things about our son and try to get him released from the East Palace as soon as possible."
King Nan Xiao looked at Concubine Li as if she were a fool.
"You spoke well of the Queen's son in front of Emperor Jingyang. Do you think he is a fool?"
"Now Luo Junhe has recovered, and you are pregnant with Emperor Jingyang's child, and he is particularly fond of you."
"This will only make those outsiders think that if Luo Junhe gets another helper, the prince's halo may not be able to suppress him in the future."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li hurriedly said, "No, Zhenglang, Emperor Jingyang doesn't like Luo Junhe at all, and he will never pass the throne to Luo Junhe."
"As long as we find a way to get rid of Luo Junhe before his background is exposed, the throne will still belong to the prince."
"Zhenglang, believe me, we are not far from our goal."
"As for the child in my belly..." Concubine Li said, looking down at her lower abdomen. She reached out and touched it, and her eyes suddenly became fierce.
"I will find a way to abort this child."
"But you have to give me a little more time. When the crown prince is released from the East Palace and I no longer need to go to Emperor Jingyang to persuade him, I will take the abortion medicine and abort him, okay?"
Prince Nan Xiao looked towards Concubine Li and his gloomy eyes narrowed.
He asked: "Are you really not attracted to Emperor Jingyang?"
Concubine Li quickly said: "No, I hate him so much that I can't wait to be attracted to him."
"In my heart, you are the only one I love. Don't you understand my feelings for you?"
Prince Nan Xiao's eyes moved. He didn't quite believe what Concubine Li said.
For him, being cuckolded is a great shame and humiliation.
He would never forgive Concubine Li in his life.
But at this moment, they are all in the same boat.
Before Luo Jingshen officially ascended the throne, he still needed Concubine Li to help him.
It’s not that Prince Nan Xiao didn’t have spies in the palace, but those people basically couldn’t get close to Emperor Jingyang.
Only Concubine Li can do it.
Thinking of this, King Nan Xiao suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.
He took a few steps forward, hugged Concubine Li in his arms, and said softly: "You gave birth to my children and did so many things for me, of course I believe you."
"However, now that things have come to this, we only have one last way to go. It all depends on whether you are willing to cooperate with me."
