Chapter 44: Not Enough Chips
Chapter 44: Not Enough Chips
In order to remove himself from the suspicion of planning the murder of Ye Qingmei, Emperor Qing deliberately found two scapegoats, namely the Queen and the Queen Mother!
As the emperor's woman, Ye Qingmei was not only favored by the emperor, but also had an affair with other men outside. So, wasn't it natural that the empress and the queen mother would be unhappy with her and kill her?
At the same time, in order to maintain his affectionate character, Emperor Qing also killed all the relatives of the Queen Mother and the Queen, in order to show that he was actually innocent. He loved Ye Qingmei deeply and was heartbroken by her death.
I have to say that guy is a political creature through and through. If he were an emperor, he could barely be considered a good emperor, but as a human being?
It doesn’t matter. Just look at those emperors selected as the greatest emperors of all time by later generations. It seems that each of them is quite inhuman!
"How did Ye Qingmei die?"
Li Yunrui leaned in the man's arms and asked while biting her lip.
This problem has troubled her for eighteen years. Although Emperor Qing has put forward two scapegoats, all those who know the situation always feel that there is something fishy going on.
"Want to know the answer?"
Looking at the half-dressed beauty lying in his arms, Li Qingyuan smiled.
"If you want to know the answer, this reward is not enough!"
"I am the Princess of Daqing. What you are doing now will lead to death by slicing!"
Li Yunrui felt the man's strength and said with a little displeasure.
I'm in this state already, and you're still bargaining with me?
Feeling that Li Yunrui still wanted to threaten him, the man sneered and said playfully.
"Do you know what Ye Qingmei took with her when she left the temple?"
"What did you bring?"
Li Yunrui is particularly curious. For women, if their curiosity is aroused but no answer is given, it will drive them crazy.
"She brought a servant named Wuzhu with her. She also brought a box that contained a weapon that could kill a Grandmaster from ten miles away. In terms of power, it's about ten times more powerful than Yan Xiaoyi's!"
The maximum range of the Barrett sniper rifle is 6,800 meters, but in reality, even the top sharpshooter can only shoot at a maximum range of 1,500 meters.
As a ninth-rank archer, Yan Xiaoyi's effective range is about three hundred to four hundred meters, which is certainly incomparable to the range of a sniper rifle, but the ten-fold difference is obviously exaggerated.
But it doesn’t matter. No one will come out to expose the fakes anyway, so he can say whatever he wants.
"really?"
Li Yunrui was shocked beyond words. She knew Yan Xiaoyi's strength. A weapon that was ten times more powerful than Yan Xiaoyi's meant that even if he was killed by the enemy, no one would know how he died.
"You know that two of them died just like that!"
"Depose the Crown Prince and Prince Ning!"
Li Yunrui suddenly remembered the two guys who died one after another twenty years ago. Both of them died suddenly with blood mist bursting out of their bodies during the sacrifice to the sky. There was no trace of the crime within a radius of several miles, so they were determined to have suffered punishment from heaven.
It was precisely because the deposed Crown Prince and the deposed Prince Ning were both dead that Li Yunqian became the first in line to the throne and ascended the throne of the emperor.
"It seems that you are not stupid! Now you know why your elder brother would rather be Ye Qingmei's licking dog than even look at you?"
By the way, is that old guy Emperor Qing no good?
"How do you know——"
Li Yunrui sat up straight and began to bounce and sway. But as soon as he said this, he remembered that the other party was from the temple!
Ye Qingmei, a woman, can stir up unrest in the world, let alone the other party is a man!
"How can you help me?"
Li Yunrui's eyes immediately moved, and she leaned into the man's arms with a smile, then stretched out her white jade fingers and drew circles on the other person's body.
"what do you want?"
What do I want?
Li Yunrui was stunned by this question.
Just looking at the guy in front of me, I know that he is not a good person. I don't think there will be any good results if I make such a request to him.
As for the rest?
Is there anything else you want?
"Neiku! I want to continue to control Neiku! I can't let that brat take away what's mine!"
Li Yunrui thought about it, and finally said with gritted teeth.
If she was still the teenage Li Yunrui from more than ten years ago, she would still demand to please the man in front of her even if it meant offending him.
But after more than ten years of realistic education, Li Yunrui is already a 32-year-old beautiful mature woman, and even her daughter Lin Wan'er is 17 years old. Naturally, it is impossible for them to be as naive as before.
As for feelings! She naturally hoped for it, but it was obviously just a dream.
Compared to dreams, reality is more real.
Over the years, she has been in control of the inner treasury, and has been able to embezzle several million taels of silver every year in private. Not only does she have a large number of men under her command, but the princess's mansion has also collected all the rare treasures from all over the world.
The reason why she was unwilling to hand over the power of the inner treasury was not only because Fan Xian was Ye Qingmei's son, which made her feel extremely disgusted, but also because of the huge amount of silver.
Although Fan Xian is still her son-in-law, she has never cared about Lin Wan'er, her daughter, let alone a son-in-law?
At that time, in order to forget this relationship, she found the young talent Lin Ruofu, wanting to use another man to replace her inner demons.
But unfortunately, even though Lin Ruofu could be considered a young talent, he could not erase his position in her heart. So even after giving birth to Lin Wan'er, Li Yunrui directly threw her to Lin Ruofu to raise. Except for special holidays, she basically never visited him, let alone had any feelings for him!
"It's easy for you to continue to hold on to power, but you don't have enough chips!"
Li Qingyuan directly picked up the grapes from the fruit plate.
"You! What else do you want?"
Li Yunrui asked breathlessly. She naturally knew that the price she paid now would definitely not be enough.
After all, she had tried her best to keep the inner treasury in her own hands, and even went so far as to conspire with Northern Qi to put Fan Xian to death.
"That's what I want!"
The man paused for a moment, then said:
"We'll talk later, let's get down to business first!"
