Chapter 735 The fish takes the bait
If the child is gone, how will she explain to Emperor Jingyang?
When Concubine Li thought of this, she said to Jianlan: "Burn this letter and pretend that I have never received it or seen it."
Jianlan was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Concubine Li to say that.
But she did it anyway.
At noon the next day, King Nan Xiao wore a black cloak and a black hood as usual.
He wrapped himself tightly and went to Huayang Temple.
At that moment when he stood outside the door, King Nan Xiao still felt a little angry in his heart.
He thought that Concubine Li must have taken off her clothes and was kneeling in the room.
When he pushes the door open, I'll explain to him with red eyes and tears, telling him how much I love him.
However, when King Nan Xiao pushed open the door, he felt his heart sink.
Because there was no trace of Concubine Li in the room in the backyard of Huayang Temple.
He pushed open all the doors of the backyard one by one, but could not find Concubine Li.
If King Nan Xiao doesn't realize at this moment that Concubine Li did not come to the appointment, he will have lived in vain.
The flame in his heart was instantly ignited and shot up several feet high.
King Nan Xiao clenched his fists until they creaked. "You are so good, Concubine Li. Now you even dare to stand me up. You have really become very capable!"
"Do you really think that you can get rid of me just by hooking up with Emperor Jingyang?"
"I tell you, forget it!"
Ji Feng looked around but couldn't find any trace of Concubine Li and Jianlan, and he couldn't even find the carriage.
He said, "Your Majesty, could it be that Concubine Li was held up by something and delayed for a while, and is she still on her way?
"Why don't we wait for her for a while, maybe Concubine Li will be here soon."
King Nan Xiao snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and said something.
"Return to Canglan Villa!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, he still felt that Concubine Li did not come.
All along, he had a private meeting with Concubine Li every time he came to Huayang Temple.
The other party would arrive half an hour in advance and wait for him in the room.
Therefore, there was no misunderstanding that Concubine Li was late.
Even if she had something important to do, she should have declined and come to keep the appointment with me.
But now, such a long time has passed since the agreed time, and he still hasn't seen any trace of Concubine Li.
Apart from the fact that she didn't want to see him, King Nan Xiao couldn't find a second reason.
But at this moment, he still held a little hope.
He thought, if Concubine Li was really on the way, she must have been delayed for some reason.
Then after I leave Huayang Temple, she will definitely contact me anxiously.
By that time, it won't be too late to ask her to apologize to me.
However, to King Nan Xiao's disappointment, after he returned and waited all night, Concubine Li did not send anyone to contact him.
She didn't even send him a letter of explanation.
Concubine Li's behavior further aggravated the misunderstanding in King Nan Xiao's heart.
He became even more certain that Concubine Li had changed her mind towards him and fallen in love with Emperor Jingyang.
The alarm bells in King Nan Xiao's heart suddenly rang, and he would be lying if he said he was not angry.
Once upon a time, he treated Concubine Li as a chess piece in his hands.
But now, the chess piece was suddenly out of his control, and he felt inexplicably irritated.
But what is certain is that Concubine Li must not have leaked the news of their affair.
Because once this matter is leaked, she will definitely not have a good ending.
Prince Nan Xiao thought to himself that it seemed like it was time for him to go to the palace and meet Concubine Li.
At this time, in the Night Palace.
An Qi was reporting his achievements to Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
He said, "My Lord, Princess, you don't know. I found some street thugs, gave them five taels of silver each, and asked them to go to crowded places like restaurants and teahouses to spread the news that Concubine Li is pregnant. They were so enthusiastic that in less than half an hour, everyone in the capital knew about it."
"These people are so useful. If the princess spreads rumors again next time, I will find them again."
Luo Junhe glanced at An Qi and revealed his motive in one sentence.
"Don't describe your laziness as being so refreshing and refined."
He knew very well that An Qi obviously didn't want to spread the news, so he paid some people to run errands for him.
Fortunately, these people were paid to do their jobs and were very efficient, so they didn't cause them any trouble.
When An Qi's inner thoughts were exposed by Luo Junhe, he just smiled and did not refute.
Just then, Long Yin, dressed in black, walked in, and Ji Yuntang asked him.
"Well, did you see anything?"
Long Yin nodded and said respectfully: "The princess is indeed very good at predicting things. I followed the princess' instructions and went to Huayang Temple to keep an eye on him. As expected, I found that Prince Nan Xiao went to Huayang Temple at noon today."
"However, I did not see Concubine Li. King Nan Xiao seemed very angry. After he lost his temper, he left in the carriage."
After hearing Long Yin's words, Ji Yuntang's eyes flashed with a look of "as expected".
When she gave An Qi an order to go to the capital to spread the news of Concubine Li's pregnancy, she also assigned a task to Long Yin.
That is, let Long Yin go to Huayang Temple where Concubine Li and King Nan Xiao usually meet and keep an eye on them.
Ji Yuntang guessed that King Nan Xiao must have been very angry after learning the news that Concubine Li was pregnant.
The first thing he wanted to do was to find Li Fei and find out the reason for the incident, and then let Li Fei abort the baby in her belly.
In his opinion, Concubine Li is already his woman, and she is having an affair with Emperor Jingyang. King Nan Xiao must be very afraid that she will reveal his secrets.
Therefore, while he was looking for Concubine Li to confirm this matter, he would definitely give the other party another sweet treat.
The purpose of doing this is to control Concubine Li and make her think how much King Nan Xiao loves her.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li did not go to the appointment.
I think Concubine Li also knew that Prince Nan Xiao was angry and didn't dare to face him.
Ji Yuntang didn't know whether she loved King Nan Xiao or not, but what Ji Yuntang was sure of was that Concubine Li was definitely afraid of King Nan Xiao.
The fact that Prince Nan Xiao went to Huayang Temple immediately after learning that Concubine Li was pregnant was enough to prove that there was indeed some kind of shameful relationship between him and Concubine Li.
The person behind Concubine Li has finally surfaced at this moment.
The contents of Xia Chuhe's letter came true.
In Ji Yuntang's opinion, since they had a common enemy, she didn't mind helping Xia Chuhe and avenging her father and mother's murder.
Thinking of this, she put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, and smiled at Luo Junhe.
"Ah He, the fish has been hooked. Now we can go find the Queen and have a good talk about this matter."
