Chapter 1733 A hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff

Li Ke was shocked, and said: "You mean the emperor..."

"Hush!" Shui Lingyue hurriedly booed nervously, and said: "Don't hurt me! I didn't say anything! What to do, you can decide for yourself, but don't tell anyone that you have seen me."

Li Ke nodded.

Shui Lingyue was afraid that Li Ke would not be able to figure out the seriousness of the relationship behind this, she pondered: "After I woke up, I heard them talking, and I remembered that the emperor said a word, but it was very accurate."

Li Ke hurriedly asked: "What are you talking about?"

Shui Lingyue said: "The emperor said, Xiao Yichen is also the king of Qi in Northern Qi, a centipede, dead but not stiff, not to mention, he is not dead yet, do you think he has no power behind him? Otherwise, why wouldn't the emperor dare to kill him?" , but asked General Li to kill him?"

Li Ke suddenly said, "You mean the emperor borrowed a knife to kill someone?"

Shui Lingyue said: "Borrowing a knife to kill people is the next best thing. Killing two birds with one stone is the best way to kill two birds with one stone. Your Majesty is wise. Otherwise, how could it be possible to become the Lord of Northern Qi in just two years after coming to Northern Qi?"

Li Ke was completely convinced by Shui Lingyue, nodded repeatedly, and said, "That's right."

Seeing that he believed him completely, Shui Lingyue didn't stay any longer, turned her head and looked around vigilantly, and said: "I'm leaving, you go out later, so as not to be seen."

Speaking of Shui Lingyue, without waiting for her to agree, she turned around and walked out of the bamboo forest.

"Girl!" Li Ke suddenly called her.

Shui Lingyue turned her head and asked, "What else is there?"

Li Ke thought about it, and felt that he had nothing to say, but he felt a little strange watching her go.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shui Lingyue said: "It's okay, then I'll go."

Shui Lingyue turned around and left, Li Ke stood there in a daze, thinking about what to do next.

That night, Xiao Xia brought back the news that Li Xiuxiu's body in Jiaofangdian suddenly disappeared.

The news that came out the next day was that the empress would stay for 49 days and then be buried.

In the entire palace, no one had the slightest reaction to the disappearance of Li Xiuxiu's body, neither did Chu Yi, nor did Li Yikun.

In the Palace of Harmony, Li Yikun called Li Ke into the room alone.

"Did you steal Xiuxiu?"

Li Yikun somewhat understood his adoptive sons, and knew Li Ke's feelings for Xiuxiu.

Li Ke categorically denied it, and said: "Father, Xiuxiu has become a queen, how could I do such a foolish thing?"

Li Yikun asked again: "Didn't you be asked to avenge Xiuxiu yesterday? Why is there no movement?"

Li Ke had already thought up his speech, and said, "Father, I have a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not."

Seeing his serious expression, Li Yikun didn't care, and said, "What are you talking about? Let's listen to it."

Li Kedao: "Father, Xiao Yichen rebelled against the emperor, and the emperor certainly hated him to the bone, but why did he only be imprisoned in the imperial garden?"

Li Yikun was slightly taken aback, and said, "Why do you think it is?"

Li Kedao: "I think that the emperor didn't want to kill Xiao Yichen because he was his brother, but because he was afraid of the power hidden behind Xiao Yichen that hadn't appeared yet, he deliberately lured his adoptive father to kill Xiao Yichen, How can it be seen that it is not a murder with a borrowed knife?"

Li Ke paused, raised his eyes and glanced at the expression on Li Yikun's face, saw that he seemed to be moved, and continued: "Xiuxiu has gone, there is no one with the emperor on our side, the emperor still treats you Our courtesy is only because of the soldiers and horses in the hands of the adoptive father. If the adoptive father listened to the emperor and killed Xiao Yichen this time, wouldn't he offend the forces behind Xiao Yichen? When the time comes, the two tigers will fight each other. Think about it , who is the last beneficiary?"

These words were exactly what Shui Lingyue analyzed to him before, so he organized his language and then told Li Yikun.
