Upon hearing this, Huang Xuan was once again stunned by Lu Li's 'turn'.
Lu Li didn't wait for her to say anything else, and said with a smile: "According to your statement, in the current situation, except for a few people, everyone else is the enemy. Although it is not very optimistic, this clear situation, It’s also a good thing for us.”
"Us?" Huang Xuan was keenly aware of Lu Li's choice of words and sneered, "What, Mr. Lu now thinks I am qualified to cooperate with you?"
"Of course, Your Highness."
Lu Li's smile became even brighter, even a little crazy, "Even if you are lying to me, what's the loss to me? After all, I just want to dig out those ancient, corrupt 'gods' who think they can control everything. , and then step on their heads to tell them that this world is not anyone’s chessboard.”
"Then what?"
Huang Xuan seemed to be aroused. Seeing that Lu Li did not continue, she smiled playfully and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"Then?"
Lu Li looked at Huang Xuan in surprise: "What are you thinking, Your Highness Huang Xuan? Then of course you have to chop off their heads and show them to more 'gods'. Mortals are not that weak to be bullied, right?"
Huang Xuan seemed very satisfied with this answer. The smile on her lips never dissipated. She stared at Lu Li for a moment and said softly, "Now you can tell me what your plan is."
"Wrong, Your Highness." Lu Li shook his head, "The question I want to talk about now should be..."
"What's your plan."
Lu Li took another step closer and leaned down slightly. The distance between him and Huang Xuan kept getting closer. When his pupils could reflect both of their faces, Lu Li smiled and said, "Don't tell me that you are sitting in this human world." Having been in one of the highest positions and playing the role of 'Emperor' for so long, you did not use those tempting rights to pave a way for yourself to save yourself."
Huang Xuan's eyes moved slightly, looking at the face so close at hand, she smiled sweetly and said, "Manager Lu, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with our cooperation."
"After all, everyone needs some trump cards. I do, and so do you, right?"
"That's right."
Lu Li smiled and stepped back a little, "Then let me put it another way."
"If you want to take revenge on the person who plotted against you, you still have to maintain your identity and continue to act as His Majesty of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom."
"Then, let us start from your hometown first as the first step to destroy this big game."
At this point, Lu Li's smile became a little bit more 'crazy'.
…
"How is the result?"
The moment she saw Lu Li opening the door to the royal study and stepping out, Mu Ningqiu came forward to greet him.
But when her eyes fell behind Lu Li and she didn't find another figure, her eyes changed and she frowned and said, "Where is that crazy woman?"
"I never thought I could hear such a description of a mad woman from His Highness's mouth."
Lu Li turned around and closed the door. After joking, he looked past Mu Ningqiu and looked directly at Liang Yuan, who was waiting a few steps away. "Manager Liang, His Majesty is a little tired. Try not to let others disturb him recently."
Liang Yuan squinted his eyes and understood Lu Li's hint in an instant.
But he was a little confused, his eyes dropped slightly, showing a very dissatisfied look.
So he didn't speak, waiting for Lu Li to give an explanation that was reasonable enough and convincing enough for him.
"Mr. Liang, a country cannot live without a king for a day, even if it is a lie."
Sensing Liang Yuan's dissatisfaction, Lu Li said calmly: "Even if her identity is revealed now, His Majesty will not be able to come back immediately. What will the state of the Heaven-Devouring Holy Council be like then?"
"In turmoil!"
After a pause, Lu Li emphasized these four words. His eyes scanned the expressions of Liang Yuan and Mu Ningqiu, and his tone gradually softened, "In that case, let her continue to sit in that position. Instead of that, let her continue to sit in that position. To break through all this and make us passive, it is better to control her firmly in the palm of our hands and take the initiative."
"But, what is the whereabouts of my father?"
Mu Ningqiu looked at Lu Li, "Has she revealed her father's whereabouts?"
Lu Li shook his head and said, "No, and she doesn't know either."
"However, Your Majesty should be in no danger now. As for where he is and when he will return, no one can tell you the exact answer."
"How is this possible? My father will never abandon everything and leave quietly."
Mu Ningqiu still refused to believe it, her eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly walked to the imperial study room, "If you can't ask, I will ask myself."
"your Highness."
At this moment, Liang Yuan, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.
Hearing his voice, Mu Ningqiu hesitated for a moment, but did not speak.
"Mr. Lu is right, a country cannot live without a king for a day." Liang Yuan sighed: "Even if it is for the sake of the Holy Kingdom... let's leave it like this."
The moment he made this decision, Liang Yuan seemed to have aged a lot, and his originally straight back was now a little rickety.
"Manager Liang?"
Mu Ningqiu looked back at him in disbelief.
Liang Yuan avoided her eyes and whispered: "Your Majesty is not here, and someone must take over this burden. The best candidate is you, Your Highness."
He suddenly knelt down and said in an extremely serious voice: "Your Highness, please... make preparations in advance."
Prepare, prepare for what
Lu Li couldn't help but take a deep look at Liang Yuan.
This old man looks very kind, but in fact he has a truly murderous and decisive character.
Knowing that His Majesty was not really dead yet, he immediately made what he thought was the 'most advantageous' choice based on the current situation.
"I just want the fake emperor to stabilize the situation. You always want to change the emperor." Lu Li sighed in his heart, but did not reveal Liang Yuan's thoughts. He smiled and said: "There is still room for discussion on this matter, Liang Why should the manager be so anxious?"
"Besides, letting Her Royal Highness inherit that position now is not only unjust and unjust, but also attracts criticism. It is also equivalent to handing the reason for rebellion into the hands of Prince Cang."
Liang Yuan closed his eyes, sighed, and whispered: "Just follow Master Lu's wishes."
After finishing speaking, he looked towards the imperial study room and seemed to be hesitant, but in the end he said nothing.
…
"What on earth do you think? Let that crazy woman continue to pretend to be the emperor?"
In the Changsheng Palace, Mu Ningqiu stared at Lu Li with unkind eyes, waiting for him to give her an explanation.
The previous explanation was more like being used to deal with Liang Yuan, but she didn't think it was enough to convince herself.
If Mu Ningqiu hadn't been quite clear about Lu Li's personality, she would have even suspected that Lu Li had secretly reached some deal with Huang Xuan. Such crazy thoughts didn't look like a sober decision.
At this time, the Changsheng Palace was already empty. Only Mu Ningqiu's voice echoed in the huge palace, making sure that no third person would hear the conversation.
Lu Li just sat aside, ignoring Mu Ningqiu's questions, rubbing his fingers, as if he thought of something interesting, and suddenly laughed.
Still have the nerve to smile
When Mu Ningqiu saw his appearance, she immediately became furious and said angrily: "When things have reached this point, how do you want it to end?"
"End? Why end?"
Lu Li seemed to suddenly come back to his senses. He glanced at Mu Ningqiu in confusion, then suddenly thought of something and said, "If you are worried about what Huang Xuan will do, don't worry."
"Believe me, she hopes that the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven can last for a long time more than you and I. If she didn't really know where His Majesty has gone, she would like to find His Majesty right now."
"Not everyone can sit comfortably in that position."
Mu Ningqiu frowned in confusion and asked, "What exactly did Huang Xuan tell you? Did she explain who was instigating her behind the scenes?"
Since the whereabouts of his father cannot be found, for Mu Ningqiu, the most concerning thing at the moment is the mysterious powerful person who may be hiding behind Huang Xuan.
Mu Ningqiu was also very concerned about the purpose of this person who could move Huangxuan to do such a dangerous thing.
However, seeing that Lu Li had no intention of answering, Mu Ningqiu immediately understood and said angrily: "You didn't even ask?"
Lu Li nodded, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's not that I didn't ask, but... she doesn't know who ordered her."
