I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"His Majesty ordered Wang Bao to escort Wang Long's body back to Liangzhou for burial. But what will His Majesty do with Father's body?"

Late at night, Qin Li, who had been busy with government affairs all day, came to Empress Pei Qingluan's palace.

It was time for dinner. Pei Qingluan got up, grabbed her right sleeve with her left hand, and put a slice of lotus root into Qin Li's bowl.

Here, not only Pei Qingluan, but also Xiao Xue'er.

During the period when Wang Long controlled the capital, Xiao Xue'er rarely returned to her own palace and spent most of her time staying with Pei Qingluan.

Firstly, she was afraid—afraid that she wouldn't even know how she died.

Secondly, it would be good for the two of them to have company, of course, it was Xiao Xue'er who wanted company.

Xiao Xue'er blinked her big eyes as she served Qin Li a bowl of thin porridge, also curious about how Qin Li would handle the Xuan Emperor's corpse.

Everyone in the world knows that Emperor Xuan and his son Qin Li are irreconcilable enemies.

However, in the end, it was his son, Qin Li, who had the last laugh.

Now that Emperor Xuan is dead, how will Qin Li deal with him?

Not only the two of them were curious, but the whole world was curious.

Even for the traitor Wang Long, Qin Li chose to spare him and allowed him to be buried, but forbade the erection of a monument.

So how will Qin Li deal with Emperor Xuan and his father?

As far as the two knew, Qin Li's birth mother was indirectly killed by Emperor Xuan.

Qin Li and Emperor Xuan have a blood feud over the murder of Qin Li's mother. Given Qin Li's nature, he would certainly not let Emperor Xuan off easily, even though he is already dead.

Seeing the curious looks in their eyes, Qin Li deliberately kept them in suspense.

He ate his breakfast slowly and deliberately, enjoying it immensely.

As time went on, the only sounds in the huge hall were the noises of Qin Li eating vegetables and drinking porridge.

Their eyes were fixed on Qin Li, their hearts itching with excitement.

Finally, Xiao Xue'er couldn't hold back any longer and said:

"Your Majesty, please tell us!"

Qin Li put down his chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and asked knowingly, "What did you say?"

Xiao Xue'er frowned slightly and said, "Of course it's the question Sister Pei just asked. Is His Majesty too busy to remember?"

With a slap, Qin Li tapped her head with his hand, clearly annoyed.

"How utterly disrespectful! I am young and capable, in the prime of my life, how could I be so foolish!"

Xiao Xue'er rubbed her head with both hands, pouted, and said somewhat discontentedly, "Your Majesty, please just say it! You're driving me crazy!"

"You really want to hear it?"

Qin Li asked with a half-smile.

Xiao Xue'er nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes bright with anticipation.

Qin Li curled the corners of his lips and said, "I'm not telling you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xue'er really wanted to jump onto Qin Li's neck and bite him hard.

"Alright, Your Majesty, please stop teasing our Imperial Concubine."

Pei Qingluan couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up.

Xiao Xue'er nodded frantically to the side, pouting and saying indignantly, "That's right, that's right. Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has liked to tease me."

The two of them teamed up, and Qin Li felt no pressure at all, picking up his chopsticks again to eat his dinner.

Seeing that Qin Li refused to speak, Xiao Xue'er gestured to Pei Qingluan with her eyes, as if she had any good ideas.

In her opinion, Qin Li was deliberately keeping them in suspense.

Pei Qingluan thought for a moment and then gestured for Xiao Xue'er to take off her clothes.

Taken off?

Xiao Xue'er asked why she had to take her clothes off.

Pei Qingluan didn't explain much, she just told her to take her clothes off quickly.

With no other option, Xiao Xue'er reached out and pulled down her clothes, revealing her fair and smooth shoulders, while deliberately putting on a seductive expression.

"Your Majesty, do you think I am beautiful?"

Xiao Xue'er placed her snow-white little hand on Qin Li's shoulder, leaning half of her body against him, as if she had no bones.

Qin Li glanced at her sideways and laughed, "Don't try that trick. I won't fall for it. Even if you strip naked, stand on the table, and dance for me and the Empress, I still won't be fooled."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xue'er immediately looked at Pei Qingluan, realizing that her method had failed.

Pei Qingluan bit her lip and, mimicking Xiao Xue'er's earlier actions, pulled down her dress on her shoulder and leaned against Qin Li's other side.

She was going all out. She said in a sweet voice, "Then, Your Majesty, what if it were me?"

Seeing Pei Qingluan's appearance, Qin Li trembled all over.

The empress, who was always dignified and elegant, actually tried to seduce him like a vixen. How could he resist that?

The contrast is just too stark.

Seeing that Pei Qingluan's method worked, she realized that hers didn't.

Xiao Xue'er pouted again, looking somewhat unhappy.

Why is Qin Li treating people differently?

It seems that Qin Li truly favors the Empress more than he favors this concubine.

But he was the one who met Qin Li first.

"Your Majesty, you are only allowed to look at me."

Xiao Xue'er reached out and cupped Qin Li's face in her hands, making him look only at her.

Qin Li pulled her hand away and said, "Stop fooling around. I have some serious business to discuss with the Empress. After you finish your dinner, it's time to return to the palace. Hurry back."

"Guards, escort the Imperial Concubine back to the palace."

After saying that, Qin Li called out to someone to send Xiao Xue'er back to the palace.

"You're not allowed in."

Before anyone outside the hall could make a move, Xiao Xue'er called out in a sweet voice.

You can't get rid of her.

She stood up and simply sat on Qin Li's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck: "Important business? What important business? Don't think I don't know, Your Majesty wants to make love with the Empress, and I want to too!"

Qin Li, at a loss for what to do with her, turned to Pei Qingluan and asked, "Want to come along?"

Pei Qingluan was not that lewd. She put her clothes back on and said seriously:

"Your Majesty's plans are quite ambitious. Let's get down to business. What are Your Majesty's intentions regarding the disposal of Father's body?"

Sitting on Qin Li's lap, Xiao Xue'er nodded: "Yes, yes, if Your Majesty doesn't say anything, neither of us will let Your Majesty touch us. Your Majesty can sleep alone tonight."

Seeing the two of them united against a common enemy, Qin Li realized that he seemed to have fallen into their trap.

It seems that Wang Long's incident has helped both of them grow a lot, especially Xiao Xue'er, who has started to use her brain more.

"How should we dispose of Father's body? Of course, we should dispose of it however we should."

Qin Li looked up and sighed, then couldn't help but start playing with Xiao Xue'er's snow-white hands.

Xiao Xue'er didn't pull back; she was quite absorbed in the feeling, after all, it had been a long time since she had been with a man.

Seeing Xiao Xue'er's disappointing state, Pei Qingluan sighed.

"Your Majesty, please don't try to confuse us. If Your Majesty doesn't speak, your concubine and the Imperial Concubine will turn around and leave."

After saying that, Pei Qingluan stood up and was about to pull Xiao Xue'er away.

Xiao Xue'er was still somewhat reluctant to part, and gave Qin Li a wink.

It means she'll come back in a little while, so leave the door open for her.

Qin Li quickly reached out and grabbed the two of them: "Hey, don't go, don't go."

He held them both in his arms, one on his left and one on his right.

Qin Li said, "I would rather be confused by anyone than fight with the two of you."

"Then Your Majesty, please speak quickly."

Pei Qingluan did not resist.

"You really want to know?"

Qin Li asked.

"I really want to, but I shouldn't even think about it. I desperately want to!"

Xiao Xue'er answered.

However, this answer made Qin Li and Pei Qingluan both look at her.

Why does it feel like Xiao Xue'er's words have a hidden meaning?

However, Qin Li couldn't care less about that now, and he told the truth:

"My father committed countless evils throughout his life, and his sins are hard to atone for. I originally planned to lock him in the cold palace until he died, but who knew that such a thing would happen."

"Father, he ultimately died for his country; for that alone, I cannot be too harsh on him!"

"However, it's impossible for me to completely forgive him."

"I intend to bury him according to imperial standards, but not with my mother, because he is not worthy."

Upon hearing this, both women nodded, but then exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Majesty, please put us down..."

In the vast hall, the candlelight flickered dimly, and skirts fluttered in the breeze…
