I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

He was totally unaware of the inside story. Emperor Tiansheng panted heavily, suppressed his anger and said coldly: "In this case, Gao Quan will issue an order to strip Concubine Li of her title and demote her to a noble lady. You guys who helped the tyrant will be dragged down and beaten to death!

As for the Crown Prince, he will be stripped of his position in the court, fined for half a year, and confined to his home until the day of his wedding to reflect on his past!"

How could Li Rui easily forgive Lipin? He pretended to be very sad and said:

"Father, in addition to this incident, Qiuyan also confessed many things that Lipin did, including the love flower poison she gave to me.

I didn't expect that I had always treated her as my biological mother, but she caused me so much harm!

Father, you don’t know how I have managed to hold on all these years. I almost died several times! Please help me, Father!”

After saying that, Li Rui knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily. Now that he knew that the poison in his body was given by Concubine Li, he must crush her to death this time and never let her stand up again!

The emperor was shocked all over. He quickly stood up and walked over to help Li Rui up, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Rui'er, what did you say? You were poisoned? Was it Concubine Li who poisoned you? You bastard!

What a vicious woman! I always thought she was kind to you, but I didn't expect she would poison you. It's my father's fault! I made a mistake and made you suffer!"

Li Rui's eyes were red as he looked at Emperor Tiansheng: "Father, I just found out today that the poison in my body was given by Concubine Li. I have been suffering from the poison every month since I was fourteen years old. I have endured it for five years!

I was unwilling to die like this, and by chance I met Divine Doctor Gao, who was able to suppress some of the toxicity. I wanted to find out who was trying to harm me, and the cause of my mother's death was also a little strange. How could I have the face to go to my mother if I didn't find out the truth!"

These words made Emperor Tiansheng feel mixed emotions, ashamed, distressed, and even more furious!

This Concubine Li is so vicious. Because she raised Li Rui, Emperor Tiansheng was very kind to her and even made her a concubine. But this is how she took care of Rui'er. This vicious woman deserves to die!

Li Rui said in a depressed mood: "Father, how did I offend Concubine Li that she wanted to kill me like this!" Li Rui was actually a little skeptical about this. What benefit could Concubine Li get from killing him?

Emperor Tiansheng was also a little confused. Anyone who does bad things has her motives. Logically speaking, Concubine Li got all the benefits from keeping Li Rui, and she was even given a high position because of it.

She only gave birth to a daughter, and Li Rui's existence only benefits her, and there is no conflict of interest. So what is his motive?

Emperor Tiansheng looked at Qiuyan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You have followed Lipin for so many years, you should know why Lipin did this, right?"

Qiuyan has figured it out at this moment. Since she is going to die anyway, she might as well blurt out the words that have been kept in her heart for years. Besides, her brother will be properly arranged, so she has nothing to worry about.

“Your Majesty, Concubine Li was initially just jealous of Concubine Rong’s exclusive favor, but after His Royal Highness Prince Rui fell into her hands, she often tortured His Royal Highness Prince Rui in private.

As for why I poisoned His Royal Highness Prince Rui, I don't know. I was just following my master's orders."

Later, Qiuyan confessed all the evil things that Concubine Li had done over the years, and Emperor Tiansheng couldn't believe it.

The beautiful, gentle and considerate Lipin turned out to be such a vicious person. Lipin was demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace.

The emperor personally went to interrogate her. Lipin knew that the situation was hopeless, but she could not ignore the lives of the entire Xu family, so she had to admit that all these things were her own doing. There was no mastermind behind the scenes.

She was immediately given a cup of poisoned wine and was killed.

Emperor Tiansheng found out that Li Rui had been poisoned for five years, but he knew nothing about it. Feeling guilty, he rewarded Li Rui with many good things and wanted to offer a national reward for anyone who could detoxify him.

But he was rejected by Li Rui. He told Emperor Tiansheng that Doctor Gao could detoxify, but the herbs needed for the detoxification were not yet available.

Emperor Tiansheng immediately sent out his personal guards to search for the necessary medicinal herbs.

Li Rui did not tell Emperor Tiansheng that there was only one herb missing for the detoxification. He was afraid that the emperor was not safe either. So it was better to muddy the waters first and let him continue to feel guilty for a while.

In the Queen's Fengzao Palace, the Emperor recently dealt with Lipin, which made her a little uneasy. Lipin was sensible and did not tell anyone about what happened that year. She took all the blame on herself.

She looked at Aunt Fang beside her and said worriedly, "Your Majesty won't find out anything, right? Otherwise, why has he been so cold to me recently?"

Aunt Fang was also unsure. His Majesty had only discovered that Li Rui was poisoned by Li Concubine and had executed Li Concubine. If he discovered the cause of Concubine Rong's death, wouldn't the Queen also be...

But she and the Queen were in the same boat, so she could only hope that the Emperor didn't find out anything, so she consoled him, "Your Majesty definitely doesn't know anything, it's just that he's angry with you because of what happened to the Crown Prince last time. It will be fine after a while when he calms down."

The Queen was also a little angry with the Prince. How could he be so confused as to do such a thing in the palace? As a result, after Yin Qianqian woke up, she angrily accused the Prince of being despicable.

If I hadn't persuaded her for a long time, I wouldn't have known that Yin Qianqian was actually trying to plot against Li Rui together with the prince, but was eventually seen through by Li Rui and reported to the emperor.

It's Li Rui again! The emperor now knows that Li Rui has been poisoned. Fortunately, the antidote to his poison is too difficult to find. The queen guessed that Li Rui should have found two or three, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

She was extremely upset just by seeing Emperor Tiansheng's guilty look, wishing he could send all the treasures in the palace storehouse to Prince Rui's mansion.

The emperor deprived the crown prince of his right to participate in politics and placed him under house arrest, but he was very concerned about Li Rui. This was not a good sign.

Fortunately, Yin Qianqian was sensible and agreed to marry into the prince's mansion as a concubine. In this way, the prince would have another great helper behind him. General Yin had the power of more than 100,000 soldiers.

In the old house of the Yin family, Yin Qianqian sat in her room in a daze. The prince had clearly told her that he would arrange for Li Rui to go there. How did it end up like that between her and the prince?

She was about to marry into the prince's mansion as a concubine without knowing what was going on! Her father actually sent a pigeon letter agreeing to this, and he seemed very happy!

She felt very upset. She hated what the prince had done to her, and she hated Li Rui even more. If he had accepted her earlier, what happened later would not have happened!

At this time, the door was opened, and Ah Xing came over with a food box. He walked to the table and took out several dishes from it and placed them on the table.

"Miss, let's eat."

Yin Qianqian was pulled back to her senses and looked at Ah Xing: "You were there at the time, right? Why didn't you stop the prince?!"

Ah Xing had a hard time saying it. If he told Yin Qianqian that it was him who did it, she would probably go crazy.

"I did try to stop you from going there."

Yin Qianqian swept all the food on the table to the ground and screamed loudly.

"I asked you why you didn't stop the prince from doing that to me?! Answer me!"

Ah Xing hesitated for a moment but still didn't have the courage to admit that it was he who took away Yin Qianqian's innocence.

He was afraid that if he told it, Yin Qianqian would never keep him around again.

"At that time, the prince's men were all outside the door, and you drank the tea with aphrodisiac. It was too late for me to stop you." Ah Xing said in a low voice.

Yin Qianqian burst into tears and overturned the table. Ah Xing quickly walked over and hugged Yin Qianqian to calm her down.

"You don't have to worry about the cold coming on anymore, right?"

Yin Qianqian did not punish Ah Xing this time. She leaned in Ah Xing's arms and felt relieved. Her mood gradually calmed down.

"Ah Xing, I will be entering the Prince's Mansion in a few days. The Prince will definitely not tolerate you. You can't go with me. I will give you your indenture, and you can leave now!"

Ah Xing was shocked, unable to believe it. Was she going to abandon him like this?

He hugged the woman tightly in his arms, his eyes turned red. How could he leave? He would never leave her in this life!
