I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"What? His Highness the King of Jiang is actually Abbot Huikong of Pushan Temple? No wonder I thought the two looked so alike. I've never dared to say it all these years."

"The last disciple of the Buddha in the Buddhist Kingdom? No wonder His Highness the King of the Frontier has devoted himself to Buddhism for so many years; it turns out there are traces to this."

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do? We can believe in Buddhism, and you can believe in Buddhism, but you cannot be a monk, much less a closed-door disciple of the Buddha in the Buddhist Kingdom."

"Could it be that the Buddha of the Buddhist Kingdom instructed you to do this...?"

With Qin Han's true identity being revealed, the situation on the scene took a complete 180-degree turn.

The people who were originally hostile to Qin Li turned their guns on Qin Han.

When faced with matters of principle, the people are still clear-headed.

Qin Han is a Buddhist, so they can ignore him and might even be happy about it.

But Qin Han absolutely cannot be a monk, especially not a monk from a Buddhist country.

They haven't even said the harsher things yet.

For example, is Qin Han actually an undercover agent sent by the Buddhist Kingdom, and has he colluded with the enemy?

Seeing that the situation was settled, Qin Li withdrew his foot, put his hands behind his back, and said:

"Qin Han, although there is no law in the Great Zhou Dynasty that prohibits a prince from shaving his head and becoming a monk."

"But today, you are willing to sacrifice your wife's innocence to frame me, and you are also trying to intimidate the people and hinder the army's expedition. I will not let you off the hook."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing: attempted murder of your wife will also result in you being treated even worse."

Qin Han suddenly looked up. "You...you actually knew?"

He almost drowned Li in the bathtub, and he thought that only he and Li knew about it.

As long as Li Shi doesn't say anything, and he doesn't say anything, no one will know. But Qin Li seems to know everything.

He reached out his hand, and someone handed him a knife.

Holding the knife in one hand, Qin Li gestured at Qin Han's neck, about to sever Qin Han's head with a single stroke.

Having killed his own brothers before, Qin Li had no qualms about it this time.

Killing Qin Han would be as simple as killing a chicken or a dog.

But just as the long sword was about to fall...

A woman suddenly rushed out from the mansion behind them.

She pressed her body against Qin Han and opened her arms.

"If Your Highness wishes to kill, kill me, not the Prince!"

The one who shielded Qin Han from the knife was none other than Princess Li.

Qin Li put down his knife, frowned, and asked, "Li Shi, don't forget, he almost drowned you. Is it worth it for you to protect him like this?"

Li Shi still spread her arms wide, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, tightly shielding Qin Han behind her, and said:

"It's worth it. What's not worth it? I've been married to the prince for so many years. I'm his in life and his in death."

Seeing that reasoning with her was ineffective, Zhou Biao, with great insight, stepped forward and tried to forcibly pull Li away.

But to everyone's surprise, Li suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, gripped it tightly with both hands, and pointed it at Zhou Biao, Qin Li, and the others.

"Don't come any closer!"

A small dagger.

Qin Li, Zhou Biao, and the others were naturally not afraid, and didn't even take them seriously.

Seeing that Zhou Biao was about to step forward, Li suddenly grabbed a dagger and held it to her neck.

"Don't come any closer! If you do, I'll kill myself!"

Zhou Biao stopped in his tracks and looked at Qin Li.

If Li were to actually kill herself in front of so many people, it would be a huge problem.

Qin Li said, "Your life cannot protect him."

Knowing that Qin Li meant what he said, Li quickly dropped the dagger in her hand, knelt down on both knees, kowtowed to Qin Li, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Your Highness, please spare my life! Spare my life!"

"My lord really didn't mean it, really didn't."

"The reason he hindered the army's expedition to the Buddhist Kingdom was simply because he was resentful that His Majesty had ordered the death of the prince's mother back then."

"Stop talking!"

Qin Han scolded.

"No, continue."

Qin Li became interested and ordered Li Shi to continue.

Knowing he couldn't stop them, Qin Han simply picked up the dagger on the ground and stabbed it into his own neck, intending to end his life.

Fortunately, Zhou Biao reacted quickly, kicking the dagger out of Qin Han's hand, then pounced on him, subduing Qin Han and rendering him unable to move.

Qin Li glanced coldly at Qin Han and waved his hand, saying, "Take him away first."

Li wanted to go down too, but then she heard Qin Li say, "If you leave now, you won't be able to save him."

Only then did Li reluctantly stop and kneel before Qin Li again:

"Your Highness, the princess of Yelang Kingdom was indeed guilty of witchcraft and deserved to die, but Your Majesty should not have allowed the prince to poison his own mother. Does Your Majesty deserve to be called a father for doing such a thing? The reason why the prince hindered the army's expedition to the Buddhist Kingdom was that he wanted to use the power of Buddhism to avenge his mother one day. Is that wrong?"

Qin Li shook his head: "That's right, I also want to avenge my mother. Let's go inside and talk in detail."

The following conversation is not suitable for public disclosure.

Qin Li gestured for Li to go back with him and talk things out slowly.

He only knew the general outline of what happened back then.

I don't know the details, so I'll take this opportunity to learn more about it.

But on his way back, Qin Li stopped in his tracks: "Where is the Seventh Prince?"

Qin Feng, who had been relatively unnoticed until now, suddenly heard Qin Li call his name and quickly stepped forward: "Your subject is here!"

Qin Li said, "I entrust the matter of the army's advance into the Buddhist Kingdom entirely to you."

In other words, the position of commander-in-chief also belongs to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your subject will obey and will certainly not fail in his mission."

After saying this, Qin Li took Li Shi back, while Qin Feng ordered the army to immediately march into the Buddhist Kingdom.

Qin Li sat down in the main hall.

Chuntao and Xialiu had already removed their disguises and poured Qin Li a cup of tea.

"The army is marching into the Buddhist Kingdom. Is it alright for Your Highness not to go?" Lady Li asked with some concern.

Qin Li laughed and said, "You are more like a Great Zhou person than Qin Han."

Lady Li looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Your Highness flatters me."

Picking up his teacup, Qin Li asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened back then? What exactly did Qin Han tell you?"

Li nodded and told Qin Li everything Qin Han had told her, without holding anything back.

Qin Li nodded after listening and commented, "It seems that old man was indeed not a good person. I haven't wronged him all these years."

Ms. Li didn't know how to answer, so she could only remain silent.

But then Qin Li said, "Would you like to hear the story of my orphan's mother?"

"Oh, may I listen?"

Li was somewhat surprised and taken aback.

Qin Li put down his teacup and said, "What's wrong with listening to this? It's a story that has already happened and shouldn't be forgotten."
