Yan Li shook his head: "No, that's not the case! Zhao Hongru and Bai Xiangwan would never do such a thing, even if they were beaten to death, I wouldn't believe it."
"Prime Minister, I hope that when you do things for the emperor in the future, you don't have to deal with them emotionally. People are different from each other. Some people are one way on the surface, but another way behind their backs." Rong Chang'an said, "Like Zhao Hongru who looks at you from the outside It's quite stable, but it actually harbors evil intentions."
Yan Li shook his head again: "I still don't believe it! I've seen the soldiers guarding the Taimiao. They all have northwest accents, so they probably weren't transferred by Bai Xiangwan."
"Then who do you think transferred it?" Rong Changan asked back.
"I..." If Yan Li knew the answer, he wouldn't be so confused and questioned Rong Changan, "I don't know either."
"We do things based on evidence, not just speculation." Rong Chang'an said, "And for some things, you only see the trees but not the forest. If you look further afield, you will understand many things. "
Yan Li's eyes were cold: "I wish I didn't understand anything. I think after Zhao Hongru and Bai Xiangwan, there is a higher planner."
Rong Changan sneered and said, "You don't have to go around in circles anymore, tell me, who do you think it is?"
Yan Li sat down and looked at Rong Chang'an solemnly: "This matter is probably related to the Queen Mother..."
Rong Changan didn't deny it either, sitting next to Yan Li, looking at him with deep meaning: "If it's really the queen mother, what will you do? Do you want to persuade the emperor to kill her, or keep her?"
"Naturally, I want to persuade the emperor to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots!" Yan Li replied without thinking, "If you kill the queen mother, your relatives will stop thinking about it, and Dajing Kingdom will enjoy long-term peace."
Rong Changan shook his head and looked at Yan Li like a child: "If I were the former prince, I wouldn't do this!"
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat: "Then what will you do?"
Rong Chang'an said: "I will tell the emperor to reason, saying that if the queen mother is killed, the relatives will definitely rebel, but it will lead to an unmanageable situation, which is not good for the country; I will move it with emotion, if the queen mother is killed, the queen mother and the emperor will be killed. It is mother and son, son kills mother, the law of heaven does not allow it, it violates filial piety, anyway, let the emperor spare the queen mother no matter what... "
"Why?" Yan Li leaned slightly towards Rong Changan, listening with great interest.
A smile spread across Rong Chang'an's face: "Because the queen mother is here, you can use the queen mother to deal with the emperor. The enemy of the enemy is my friend. Why not use the conflict between the queen mother and the emperor? Do you think this is the truth?"
Yan Li cast a strange look at Rong Changan: "No, I won't do that. Enemies are enemies, justice is justice, and evil is evil. I will not compromise for my own private purposes."
Rong Changan snorted, Yan Li felt insulted, and stared at her with scarlet eyes.
"why are you laughing?"
Rong Changan curled his lips and said with a smile: "It's a great misfortune that the ancestors who hate Yan have a descendant like you. You don't even remember your own mission. Are you still a descendant of the Yan family?"
Rong Chang'an's words hit Yan Li's heart, making him ashamed. He reflected on himself, is he really an unfilial descendant? Could it be that he failed to achieve anything these years and could not retake the country that originally belonged to the Yan family? Could it be because of his own kindness
Yan Li felt as if Rong Changan had poured a bucket of ice and snow water from head to toe, which made him see his true nature: an incompetent weakling!
"In this world, if you talk about feelings and principles with others, then you will lose!" Rong Chang'an said seriously, as if he was enlightening Yan Li, "The most important thing in this world is wit, power and courage. With strong fists, whoever is the king of this world is qualified to sit firmly in this world. Like you—my dear Prime Minister Yan," Rong Changan looked contemptuously at Yan Li, "A person like you is only worthy of being Li Hai's lackey!"
"Shut up!" Yan Li stretched out his hand and grabbed Rong Changan's skirt, "I am not Li Hai's lackey, I am myself, I am Yan Li, I am a descendant of the Yan family, and I am the crown prince!"
Rong Changan was not shocked that Yan Li would say such rebellious words, on the contrary, she was very happy that Yan Li could say such words, Yan Li who had the courage to admit his identity and mission was a real man, the one she wanted Yan Li saw it!
However, Yan Li didn't think so. He was surprised that he would say such a thing. He would call the emperor "Li Hai" directly. It is a crime of disrespect to call the emperor by his first name. If someone heard about it, then he must be dead. It doesn't matter that he died, but it's a pity that he endured the humiliation in the past few years, and Yan's revival plan was declared bankrupt.
It was this woman in front of him who had instigated him to say what he shouldn't have said. She was like a goblin, a witch!
"You... you, I'm going to kill you!"
With a whoosh, Yan Li turned his fist into a palm, and slashed down on Rong Changan's head vertically. If he slashed directly on Rong Changan's head, it would be equivalent to chopping off a Guan Gong knife.
Rong Changan felt a strong air pressure, which made her almost breathless. However, she didn't blink her eyes, and watched Yan Li's long hair fall.
boom!
Yan Li's palm slashed across her head obliquely, and chopped on the pillar of the pavilion next to her. The pavilion trembled violently, and the mud fell down rustlingly. When Yan Li withdrew his palm, there was a mark like a knife on the pillar.
At the same time, a strand of blue silk fluttered to the ground.
His chopping palm actually cut off a strand of Rong Changan's hair!
With a knife on the queen's head, did Yan Li not want to live anymore
Yan Li regretted it only after seeing the soft and shiny black hair. He loves this woman, even if this woman is very powerful and ruthless, if he kills her, he doesn't know if he will be sad for the rest of his life.
"You let me see another side of you, which is also the other side I want to see." Rong Changan smiled slightly.
"Don't force me anymore, okay?" Yan Li said while clenching his fists.
Rong Changan said: "I'm not forcing you, I'm helping you. You can't even tell who is an enemy and who is a friend. What grand cause are you talking about?"
"I don't distinguish between enemies and me. A gentleman does something and doesn't do something."
Rong Changan breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Now listen to me, don't care who is the real murderer of Taimiao's rebellion, you and I will go to Fengzao Palace to meet the Queen Mother immediately, if you go, she will eliminate her hostility to you and say Maybe I will help you destroy your enemies in the future... "
Rong Changan walked out of the pavilion, and a scent of fragrance still lingered in the pavilion.
"Queen, your hair..."
Yan Li picked up the soft hair from the ground, wanting to return it to Rong Changan.
Rong Changan stopped in his tracks, turned his face halfway, and a tender light flashed in his eyes.
"Take it and leave it for you as a souvenir. We don't owe anyone anything."
What Rong Changan was referring to was that when he went to the disaster relief, Rong Changan took Yan Li's clothes as a souvenir, and now he gave him a touch of blue silk, it was considered as returning him.
