Chapter 223 Rebellion
When Li Siming saw Xu Yingying's reaction, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He thought that what he said worked and Xu Yingying listened to it.
"Lord Xu, why don't you come to my East Palace and have a seat?" Li Siming took the opportunity to ask.
At the same time, Li Siming was thinking in his mind how to silence Xu Yingying.
"Okay." Xu Yingying thought about it briefly and agreed, because she also wanted to see what Li Siming was up to.
The two chatted idly along the way.
Soon they arrived at the East Palace.
After seeing Xu Yingying enter the Eastern Palace, Li Siming gave his men a look.
The other party immediately understood and closed the door tacitly.
Their action immediately made Xu Yingying sense something was wrong.
She wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late.
"What is your Highness doing? The way to entertain guests does not include closing the door." Xu Yingying said with forced calmness.
After seeing that the door was tightly closed, Li Siming simply stopped pretending.
He said directly to his men, "You, push Lady Xu into the well, and then make it look like she fell into the well and drowned."
After saying that, several servants pounced towards Xu Yingying viciously.
Xu Yingying dodged while pointing at Li Siming and said, "How dare you treat an official of the imperial court like this? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you?"
"I'm afraid that as the crown prince, you are not able to bear the charge of murdering an important official of the court?" Xu Yingying said to Li Siming without hesitation.
Things have developed to this point now. The only one who survived Xu Yingying must be Li Siming.
When he thought of this, his idea of killing Xu Yingying became even stronger.
"It's okay. As long as you die, no one will know about this." Li Siming shouted madly at Xu Yingying.
After saying that, he stood up and grabbed Xu Yingying.
Several people wanted to work together to push Xu Yingying into the well.
But unexpectedly, during the struggle, Li Siming pulled Xu Yingying's clothes open, Xu Yingying's hair was disheveled, and the buttons on her collar fell off instantly.
Li Siming accidentally saw the thick layer of white cloth wrapped around Xu Yingying's chest from the collar and was stunned.
He has seen countless women, so he naturally knows what this is.
But he still couldn't believe it, so he looked up and stared at Xu Yingying carefully.
Good guy!
As a result, he discovered that Xu Yingying had no Adam's apple.
Is there anything Li Siming doesn't understand?
This Xu Yingying is just a woman!
Originally he thought Xu Yingying was just more "feminine", but now he never expected that Xu Yingying was so bold as to conceal her gender and serve as an official in the court.
Li Siming showed a malicious smile on his face as if he had thought of something. He had planned to kill Xu Yingying before, but now he wanted to change his plan.
Instead of killing her, it would be better to take the opportunity to destroy her innocence. Looking at how much Li Siqi cares about her, you can tell that boy must like him.
Their relationship is definitely not simple.
Knowing that his beloved Xu Yingying had been toyed with by him, wasn't this more painful for him than killing Li Siqi?
When he thought of this, a strange smile appeared on Li Siming's face, and he looked at Xu Yingying with ill intent.
At the same time, Xu Yingying seemed to realize that her collar was unbuttoned, and she quickly covered herself up with her clothes. She also took advantage of Li Siming's distraction to distance herself from him.
An unfriendly smile appeared on Li Siming's lips, and then he prepared to launch the next round of attack on Xu Yingying.
At the critical moment, a sharp voice interrupted Li Siming's next action.
"His Royal Highness—"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Su Shengyuan.
Li Siming adjusted his state, then looked at Su Shengyuan with a smile and said, "Eunuch Su, I don't know what brought you here, but does my father want to see me about something?"
Su Shengyuan nodded with a smile, "The emperor is waiting for you, Your Highness, in the imperial study. Your Highness, please go quickly and don't keep the emperor waiting for too long."
"I will go right away."
Li Siming looked at Xu Yingying meaningfully, then turned and left.
After Su Shengyuan saw Li Siming leave, he sighed and said with some fear: "Fortunately, I didn't come too late. Lord Xu, I will send you out of the palace!"
Xu Yingying nodded, looked at Su Shengyuan with great gratitude and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Su, for saving me."
Su Shengyuan signaled with his eyes to the servant behind him to pick up the straps on the ground and hand them to Xu Yingying.
"Lord Xu's hair is messy, please tidy it up quickly, otherwise it will not be good for your image if others see it." Su Shengyuan reminded.
Xu Yingying nodded, packed up briefly, and got on Su Shengyuan's special carriage back to the palace.
After Xu Yingying returned to the mansion, she took a look around but did not see Li Siqi.
She called the servant over and asked him about it. The servant shook his head helplessly and said that they didn't know where Li Siqi was either.
In the palace, in the imperial study.
The emperor became furious when he saw the memorial presented by Li Siqi.
"I was so good to them, I even made their son the crown prince, and this is how they treat me?"
"Bitch, you are not satisfied with being the crown prince and are trying to shake my kingdom?"
"Call those two bitches over here. I want to take a good look at what their hearts are made of."
After the emperor finished speaking, he threw the memorial to the ground viciously.
After a while, Li Siming and the Imperial Concubine were brought to the imperial study.
The imperial concubine no longer had her previous arrogance and seemed to be frightened. She just knelt on the ground woodenly, as if she had lost her soul.
Li Siming kept kowtowing to the emperor and begging for mercy.
"Father, my mother was just impulsive. She really didn't mean to murder you, let alone shake your throne."
"I beg you, Father, to spare my mother and my grandfather's family for the sake of our long-standing relationship!"
"Please, Father."
……
The emperor did not buy into Li Siqi's words. He looked up expressionlessly and gave Li Siming a cold look.
Li Siming, whose eyes were originally full of hope, suddenly felt disappointed when he saw the emperor's look. He knew that his father had not forgiven him.
"Come here, imprison the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince in their respective chambers. Without my order, they cannot step out of the palace."
"Then, all those who are involved in the treason will be executed along with their entire families. No one should be left behind." The emperor specifically emphasized to Su Shengyuan.
"I obey your command, Your Majesty."
Li Siming, who had been desperately begging for mercy, was stunned when he heard these words. He could no longer utter anything. He could only kneel on the ground in a daze and was dragged away by the servants.
He thought he was so arrogant all his life but he never expected that he would end up like this.
The news that the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince were brought down, imprisoned and had their property confiscated spread quickly like wings and reached the ears of all the ministers.
This huge change instantly made everyone terrified, fearing that they would be the next one.
The undercover agents from the Western Region lurking in the capital were of course very happy to hear this. They were eager to see chaos here so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to strike.
