I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Boss!"

After the whip broke and he stopped, Emperor Xuan was still furious and roared.

What the hell!

Did Old Deng take the wrong medicine today?

It was obvious to everyone that Emperor Xuan was venting his personal anger by whipping Qin Feng, punishing him for deceiving and betraying him, and also making an example of him!

Qin Feng is the chicken, and he is the monkey!

Now that the chickens have been killed enough, surely they won't kill this monkey too?

He is the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force.

Is Old Deng going to take him down with him too?

If he were beaten to a pulp like Qin Feng, unable to even get up, the Northern Barbarians on the border would be overjoyed.

Old Deng, he can't be that stupid, right?

"Boss, I'm calling you! Are you deaf?!"

Emperor Xuan glared fiercely at Qin Li, who remained motionless.

Qin Li then stepped forward, bowed, and said:

"Your subject is here!"

"Were you aware that the seventh brother was keeping male lovers?"

Emperor Xuan stared intently at Qin Li.

Qin Li's face remained expressionless.

But I almost couldn't help but laugh.

How could he not know?

Because the one at Tianxiang Tower wasn't Qin Feng, but him!

The male concubine was also someone he deliberately ruined Qin Feng's reputation by having Song Qian impersonate him.

"I know."

Qin Li answered truthfully.

No one would believe I didn't know.

In terms of the accessibility of information throughout the capital, the First Prince's residence dares to claim second place, and no one dares to claim first; even Emperor Xuan's intelligence agency is ashamed to admit its inferiority.

"Since you knew about it!"

Emperor Xuan roared, "Why didn't you stop them? So many days have passed! If you had intervened, the royal family wouldn't have lost so much face!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Li inwardly complained.

It's understandable that he didn't intervene.

Because it was he who started the whole thing about Qin Feng keeping male concubines.

He'd have to be out of his mind to stop me.

Emperor Xuan knew about this, but he did not stop it.

Now that the royal family has almost completely lost face, Emperor Xuan is in a panic.

Why did you go early?

How dare you yell at him?

Despite his complaints, Qin Li immediately put on a flustered expression and explained, "Please forgive me, Father. These past few days, I've been so busy with the army's expedition that I haven't had a moment to spare. I've been working day and night without a break and simply haven't had the time to stop it."

"..."

Emperor Xuan paused slightly, unable to find fault with the statement for a moment.

Furthermore, under Xiao Yuanlu's leadership, a group of ministers quickly echoed his sentiments and pleaded for Qin Li's life.

Qin Li was portrayed as a good commander who was dedicated to military affairs, had no time to rest, and had not slept for days and nights.

Not only could Emperor Xuan not punish Qin Li, but he should have rewarded him!

However, Emperor Xuan was in a fit of anger and clearly did not want to let Qin Li off so easily.

Emperor Xuan let out a fierce breath and said:

"Alright, you've been too busy to take a break these past few days, now you should be able to take a break."

"Tell me, what is the punishment for the seventh brother keeping a male lover? What do you, as the eldest brother, say about it?"

After Emperor Xuan finished speaking, Qin Li understood what the old man meant.

Alright, alright, since Emperor Xuan can't find any trouble for himself, he's indirectly making himself cause trouble for Qin Feng.

He wanted to make Qin Feng hate him and break up the relationship between the two brothers.

but……

Qin Li's lips curled up slightly.

He and Qin Feng were never on the same side, so there was no question of them falling apart.

Thinking of this, Qin Li raised his leg and kicked Qin Feng, who was curled up on the ground, without the slightest hesitation.

Kicking the main character is incredibly satisfying; normally you can't even manage to kick him.

After kicking Qin Feng, Qin Li clasped his hands and said, "Your subject knows his crime. Seventh Prince's keeping of male concubines has disgraced the royal family. It is your subject, as the eldest brother, who has failed to restrain him properly."

"Please rest assured, Father, I will teach him a lesson along the way and make the seventh prince realize his mistake."

"But I beg Father Emperor to show leniency and spare the Seventh Prince's life. Killing him would be too lenient; it would be better to let him atone for his crimes through meritorious service!"

Upon hearing the first part of Qin Li's words, Emperor Xuan was overjoyed, as it meant that his plan to sow discord between the two brothers had succeeded.

But Qin Li's second half of his sentence made Emperor Xuan so angry that his vision went black and he almost fainted!

When did he ever say he wanted to kill Lao Qi?

How did it end up in Qin Li's mouth?

Because the seventh prince kept male concubines.

He was about to kill the seventh brother.

He never said anything like that.

Not only that, Qin Li's words not only smeared the emperor, but also enhanced his own reputation, earning him the honor of saving his brother's life!

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the ministers began to discuss among themselves, and the way they looked at Emperor Xuan changed.

Feeling the strange looks from his ministers, Emperor Xuan became even more furious.

How come he, as the emperor, couldn't gain any advantage over the eldest prince Qin Li?

If one thing isn't done well, there will be losses!

Taking a few deep breaths, Emperor Xuan tried to suppress his anger. Knowing he couldn't defeat Qin Li, he waved his hand and said, "Get out of here! Take Seventh Prince with you and don't let me see you again!"

"What have you all done to our perfectly good departure today! It's a complete mess!"

"I warn you, if you fail to win this battle, you will bring me your head!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Li complained again... Who exactly made such a mess of the expedition? Wasn't it Emperor Xuan? Why is the blame being shifted onto him and Qin Feng?

That old Deng, he really has no shame!

Thinking this to himself, Qin Li still quickly bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "Your subject obeys! Your subject will take the seventh prince away now. Father, take care. Father, please wait for your good news in the capital."

After saying this, Qin Li waved his hand and ordered the army to set off.

Qin Feng, looking like a dead dog, was carried onto the carriage by Qin Li's men.

He can no longer ride a horse; he'll probably have to crawl all the way to the border.

After taking a few steps, Qin Li suddenly stopped.

Emperor Xuan was taken aback, wondering what Qin Li was up to.

Qin Li didn't say anything, but turned around, bowed deeply to Emperor Xuan, and his eyes were filled with tears!

When Emperor Xuan saw this, he felt no relief. Instead, he only wanted to ignore the people around him and chase after Qin Li, pin him to the ground, and beat him up!

Let you act!

She's even better at acting than Qin Feng!

No wonder you're Qin Feng's older brother!

Sure enough, after Qin Li bowed deeply and stood up, the ministers around him started discussing among themselves again, using whatever words were appropriate to describe Qin Li.

It's as if the Xuan Emperor should abdicate after Qin Li returns from the border!

Seeing that Emperor Xuan's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, Qin Li turned around and sighed silently in his heart.

Qin Feng is too green to fight him.

This old man is still too green!

After that departure, there was no longer any affection between the father and son.

When we came back, it was truly a bloody battle!

Hehehe!

Killing one's father to seize the throne—just thinking about it is thrilling!

Qin Li couldn't wait for that day to arrive...
