Your Majesty, this outer room is painting a pie for you again!

Chapter 585 Hongmen Banquet

In fact, even if it was true, how could Li Yanji notice it?

Not only that, Zhao Rui also gave a bitter smile when he saw Li Yanji's angry look.

"It turns out that your majesty... never trusts the common people."

These words sounded very pitiful and aggrieved.

Li Yanji was originally waiting for Zhao Rui to make excuses, but after suddenly hearing what Zhao Rui said, Li Yanji's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

He found that he really couldn't understand them now.

Everyone gave him the feeling that something was very wrong, but Li Yanji couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

It feels like being trapped in a cage and unable to escape.

This is exactly what makes Li Yanji feel most angry and helpless.

He looked at Zhao Rui with such cold eyes, as if he wanted to fill Zhao Rui's heart with fear in this way and achieve his own goal.

But she underestimated Zhao Rui.

From the moment he entered the palace, Zhao Rui noticed something different, and because of this, Zhao Rui had already thought about how to deal with this matter.

Now that the situation has become like this, it is even more impossible for Zhao Rui to show any sign of compromise.

Not only that, Zhao Rui even sighed and said, "Your Majesty, if you really don't trust me, then... please let me die."

"Don't think I don't dare!"

Li Yanji's face darkened almost at that moment.

Do you really think you dare not touch him?
Want to use this to scheme against yourself?

Then Li Yanji could only say that he was overthinking!
But Zhao Rui shook his head seriously.

"I have never done that. I know Your Majesty would dare to do that. I did that because I don't want to embarrass Your Majesty. I would rather die than see Your Majesty in such an awkward situation. Otherwise... how miserable she would be."

After saying this, Zhao Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After hearing what Zhao Rui said, Li Yanji was also stunned.

she?
I suddenly realized that the person Zhao Rui was talking about was Li Rushi.

Thinking of this, Li Yanji felt that Zhao Rui was impossible.

After all, Zhao Rui really wanted to marry the Seventh Princess, and the only way to get the princess to marry him was for her to be loyal to him, so there was no way he would betray him.

Li Yanji didn't speak for a long time.

Although he said this, Li Yanji still felt that there were many mysteries in the matter.

King Xuan Li Ronghao was unable to detect anything. Although Li Yanji was now the emperor, he was like a trapped beast, fighting alone. It seemed to be true that he was afraid of everything.

But even so, I still felt a little irritated in my heart.

After a while, Li Yanji sighed and said, "If you say so, then I have wronged you."

"His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui looked at Li Yanji with excitement and gratitude.

Originally, Li Yanji was somewhat distrustful in his heart, but when he saw how excited Zhao Rui was and how he felt like he had been vindicated, he was completely relieved.

"Don't worry, if you are truly loyal to me, I will not wrongly accuse you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Rui bowed his head deeply. Since Li Yanji had already cleared Zhao Rui of suspicion, he would naturally make some compensation for the suspicion he had just given him.

So Li Yanji asked Zhao Rui to meet Li Rushi.

I don’t know when it started, but Li Rushi actually became his bargaining chip.

When Li Rushi learned about this situation, she just laughed and couldn't say anything.

What else is there to say?

After all, he is the current emperor. No matter what I say, it will be useless, right?

Thinking of this, Li Rushi smiled bitterly and waited for Zhao Rui to come.

When Zhao Rui came over and saw Li Rushi's expression with a hint of sadness, he couldn't help but sigh.

It hurts, how can I not?
In this struggle, Li Rushi can be said to be the most innocent.

But God showed no sympathy for her at all, and dragged her into this struggle regardless of whether she was willing or not.

Thinking of this, Zhao Rui sighed helplessly.

"Princess, I'm sorry."

When Li Rushi heard what Zhao Rui said, she was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Zhao Rui meant by his apology. Li Rushi couldn't help but smile bitterly and then shook her head.

"It's not your fault. I know it clearly."

It wasn't his fault at all. Li Rushi was not the kind of person who didn't understand things. She was naturally very clear about such matters.

Zhao Rui felt even more distressed when he saw Li Rushi being so sensible and thinking about him.

How could such a good girl end up being bullied like this?
And Li Rushi shouldn't have to bear all this.

"Princess, this matter won't be delayed for too long, don't worry."

After hearing this, Li Rushi was stunned. Then she seemed to have thought of something and clenched her fists tightly.

"What... do you mean by that? Are you going to... start?"

Li Rushi was still a little worried.

The situation turned out like this, which was actually not what she wanted to see, but Li Rushi knew that there were some things that she had no way to refute, so at this time, she really felt a little annoyed in her heart.

On the one hand, he is a brother, and on the other hand, he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and even a loyal minister who has been abandoned by the country. Li Rushi has no idea what choice to make.

And Zhao Rui hummed.

He didn't want to lie to Li Rushi.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Li Rushi knows what to do in this matter.

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Princess, I think you should know how much is involved in this matter. But no matter what the matter is, we must be careful. After all, the situation has become like this. This alone makes it difficult for us to deal with it."

"Now that King Xuan has come to the capital again, we need to be even more careful about this matter."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Rui sighed.

Zhao Rui also told the Seventh Princess about what Li Ronghao had done. When Li Rushi learned the truth of the matter, her eyes widened in shock.

"He...what on earth are they doing?"

At this moment, Li Rushi even felt her hair stand on end!

Murder and heart-wrenching?
Cutting off the roots?

Is it not enough to kill the other person's relatives on the battlefield, but you also chase them into their homes and kill them all?
