There are always sick girls with ill intentions towards me

Li Lingge did not give in at all. Since you dared to assassinate him, you must pay the price.

Although Shen Yike is extremely powerful in the court, the second prince also has supporters.

In the harem, the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Wan, was the only one favored by the emperor.

In the court, the emperor's younger brother, the executive vice emperor of Da Chu, King Qin Jiang Xingci, is an even greater supporter of the second prince.

The Second Prince and his party would certainly not stand idly by when faced with such an opportunity to add insult to injury.

If you don't let me live a good life, then no one else can live a good life.

I am about to ascend to heaven, so why should I be afraid of you evil spirits?

Shen Yike's face was flushed and his breathing was a little heavy.

"Li Lingge, you are deliberately looking for trouble, aren't you?!"

"That's not right. It was clearly Prime Minister Shen and the Crown Prince who wanted to kill me, so how come I'm the one looking for trouble?"

Li Lingge walked into the reception room step by step and came in front of Shen Yike.

"Just because I refused to cooperate with the prince, you sent people to rob and kill me. Isn't this bullying an honest man?"

Just as he finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps outside the reception room.

Turning around, he saw a dozen guards standing outside the door, all of them were of the seventh rank or higher.

The housekeeper stood at the door, blocking Li Lingge's way.

"Master Prime Minister."

Obviously, as long as Shen Yike gave the order, these people would rush forward.

"Back off!" Shen Yike was so angry that he started coughing violently.

In full view of everyone, Li Lingge walked into the Shen Mansion.

If a person died here, how would he explain to the world?

Li Lingge died in the capital, in the Shen Mansion, just after he handed over his military power. What would the soldiers in the southern border think?

What's more, this boy is the first disciple of the dean of the academy, and the academy will not let it go.

Even if he dared to go against the world, was Li Lingge a fool?

If he didn't have the means to protect himself, how could he come here alone to face off?

Don't forget, the head of the first-grade realm is still in someone else's hands.

"Go get the Nine-Leaf Snow Lotus!" Shen Yike stared at Li Lingge and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Give it to him!"

A dozen guards stepped back, leaving a path to the living room.

Li Lingge nodded with satisfaction and put the box back on the table.

"The property returns to its original owner."

Soon, a square brocade box was held by the butler and placed in front of Li Lingge.

The brocade box exuded a hint of coldness. Li Lingge raised his hand to open the brocade box and saw a blue crystal box inside.

This box is made of cold crystal and can seal the spiritual energy of the Nine-Leaf Snow Lotus, effectively reducing the loss of medicinal properties.

Li Lingge opened the crystal box, and a crystal clear blood lotus appeared before his eyes, with a little frost on it.

The moment the box was opened, spiritual energy overflowed.

Seeing that it was indeed what he wanted, he closed the lid.

"What happened before was all a misunderstanding. I won't bother Shen Xiang anymore."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing Li Lingge was about to leave, Shen Yike immediately said, "Your Highness, you have to leave the beads in your hand too."

Li Lingge looked at the photo bead in his hand. This thing would be of great use in the future, so he couldn't give it away easily.

"This thing is very valuable, so it's impossible to give it to Shen Xiang. However, I can delete the contents of the photo bead, so that Shen Xiang can feel at ease."

"How can I believe that you really deleted it?"

"This bead contains a storage array. As long as the true energy flows into it and destroys the corresponding array, the contents can be deleted."

Li Lingge handed the beads in his hand over and continued.

"If Minister Shen doesn't believe it, he can find someone in the mansion who knows about formations to check it out."

Shen Yike narrowed his eyes slightly, then gave the housekeeper a wink.

Since this matter concerns the crown prince, he has to be cautious.

I have given away all the Nine-Leaf Snow Lotus. If I get cheated again, it would be a joke.

Soon, a short and fat middle-aged man walked in from the guards outside the hall.

He took the photo bead from Li Lingge's hand and examined it carefully. As the true energy poured in, the light curtain was projected into the air again.

Click.

With a slight shattering sound, a crack appeared inside the crystal clear image bead.

At the same time, the content on the light curtain became blank.

The fat man bowed to Shen Yike.

"Prime Minister, it has indeed been deleted."

Seeing this, Shen Yike waved his hand.

"Go down."

The fat man returned the photo-taking bead, bowed and walked out.

Li Lingge was playing with the Image-Retaining Bead, which contained hundreds of storage formations. Although one was destroyed, it could still be used.

But there was an extra crack.

"Minister Shen, goodbye."

When he reached the door of the reception room, Li Lingge turned to look at the Shen residence's housekeeper and asked meaningfully.

"Guess how Cui Bei died?"

He didn't even wait for the butler to give an answer and walked straight out of the reception room.

Before leaving, he glanced at the dozen or so guards outside the door and shook his head.

"Only a few dozen taels of silver a month, what's the point of playing with your life?"

puff--

Looking at Li Lingge's arrogant back as he left, Shen Yike couldn't bear it any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This child, this child must not be allowed to stay!"

Chapter 56 Kneel down

Ganquan Palace.

Shen Fengyi, dressed in a golden phoenix robe, sat upright on the couch, the breath in her pupils was as cold as ice.

"You mean, Li Lingge is on Jiang Yin's side?"

"Yes, but don't worry, mother. I have sent people to talk to him, hoping to win him over." Jiang Jingyu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "If he can't tell the difference between the big and small kings, he will die!"

"I have also heard about the trade in the harem." Shen Fengyi rubbed his temple, "Concubine Wan has whispered this to your majesty."

"For so many years, I have had the monopoly on smuggling with South Vietnam. The second brother got jealous, so he came up with the idea of ​​mutual trade."

Jiang Jingyu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued.

"Let's take a step back and say that even if the peace talks are successful, without Li Lingge's support, the second brother is nothing."

Shen Fengyi nodded slightly, but still reminded.

"To be on the safe side, we still need to send someone to disrupt the peace talks.

After all, the smuggling business has always been firmly in your hands. Once the negotiations are successful, you will inevitably have to fight with Jiang Yin in the future, so there are always some risks. "

"Don't worry, mother. I have arranged my own people among the envoys for the peace talks." Jiang Jingyu was a little unconcerned. "Based on the transactions I have made with South Vietnam over the years, I have the advantage."

Shen Fengyi sighed deeply, and then looked at Jiang Jingyu deeply.

"I'm not worried about what's happening outside the palace. I'm just worried about you and Concubine Xi... You're playing with fire!"

The Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine are having an affair. If His Majesty were to hear of this, he would surely be furious.

Jiang Jingyu waved his hands impatiently.

"Don't worry about this matter, mother. I know what to do."

"You're really hungry. You can eat anything."

Shen Fengyi secretly shook her head, feeling somewhat disappointed.

She really couldn't understand why Concubine Xi was better than the Crown Princess?

He is older than her, yet he is so obsessed with her son.

"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. If you can't make up your mind, then I can only make her disappear."

"Mother--"

As soon as Jiang Jingyu opened his mouth, a palace maid bowed and walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Prince Wei Li Lingge requests an audience."

After these words were spoken, Shen Fengyi and Jiang Jingyu looked at each other.

"What is he here for?"

"Mother, I'll go see him."

Jiang Jingyu stood up but was stopped by Shen Fengyi.

"I can't help you much with matters outside the palace, but within the harem, I still have the final say."

Shen Fengyi stood up, displaying the majesty of a queen.

"Let him wait in Hanling Palace."

……

Hanling Palace.

thump.

The palace maid brought Li Lingge into the hall. The two palace guards following behind Li Lingge put down the large wooden box they were carrying and then left on their own.

Li Lingge looked around and found that he was the only one left in the hall.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was so cooperative and actually chose Hanling Palace for him to wait.

He raised his head and glanced at the huge palace lantern hanging above his head.

Under the palace lantern, there is a precious pearl inlaid.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Lingge put down the brocade box in his hand and jumped up.

In just two breaths, the gem was replaced by a photo-retaining bead.

Li Lingge put away the pearl, and then stood there waiting quietly.

Soon, the sound of eunuchs singing was heard outside the hall.

"The Empress is here."

Shen Fengyi stepped in. After entering the hall, he first looked up and down at this king of a different surname who was currently in the limelight in the capital.

Her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but nodded secretly.

This Li Lingge is really handsome. It wouldn't be a waste of his appearance if I could use him for my own benefit.

Otherwise... just killing it like this would be such a waste of resources.

"What is the matter with you, Li Qing, coming to see me?"
