Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 354 Imperial Concubine (Part 2)

Li Ji couldn't see Concubine Liu Gui's expression at this time, but could see her slightly trembling back.

It took a long time before I heard her speak in a hoarse voice.

"Did King Zhao come here on purpose just to talk nonsense to Bengong?"

Li Ji: "I have a few questions that I can't figure out all the time, and I want to ask the noble concubine to give me some advice."

Concubine Liu Gui raised her head and took a deep breath, forcing back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes.

She picked up a sparrow-feather golden step shaker from the dowry, and inserted it obliquely into the cloud temple.

"I don't dare to be an advisor, just ask what the prince wants to ask."

Li Ji noticed that the corners of Concubine Liu Guifei's eyes were red in the glazed mirror, and her eyelashes were a little wet.

He just pretended he didn't see anything, and asked calmly.

"Why did the noble concubine instigate and help Concubine Liang to deal with my concubine? I don't remember anything that my concubine has offended you?"

Concubine Liu Gui turned her head left and right, looked at Jin Buyao in her bun in front of the mirror, and replied casually.

"Concubine Zhao did not offend Bengong, her fault is that she should not be your concubine, and you..."

She paused here, her red lips raised, and she sneered.

"And you are the murderer who made Yan'er crippled."

Li Ji frowned: "The fifth prince's injury was not my fault."

Concubine Liu Gui expressed her disdain for his words.

"Of course you won't admit to being a murderer."

Although Zijuan's words were suspected of deliberate guidance, her analysis was not unreasonable.

Under the circumstances at that time, the person who was most likely to take the opportunity to murder Li Yan was King Zhao.

Li Ji heard her heart.

He silently remembered the name Zicuckoo.

Li Ji: "I don't know why you think I'm the murderer, but I can tell you clearly that someone else murdered the Fifth Prince."

Concubine Liu Gui's expression changed slightly.

She said coldly: "Why should I trust you?"

Li Ji said unhurriedly.

"After the fifth prince's accident, I ordered people to search all the folks who built the Taimiao.

It was found that a man named Hong Hui was very suspicious.

It's a pity that we were one step too late. By the time my men found him, he had already been silenced.

Following this clue, the people under me carefully checked Hong Hui's origin.

It turned out that this Hong Hui was not the Hong Hui we recruited through the household registration book.

He was an impostor, and the real Hong Hui had already died in an accident.

This fake Hong Hui is actually a wanted fugitive. "

Having said that, he pulled out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve.

He unfolded the rice paper to reveal the portrait of the man on the paper.

Concubine Liu Gui turned around and looked at the portrait steadily.

She pursed her red lips: "These are all your one-sided words, which are not to be believed."

Li Ji looked down at her condescendingly, with a bit of arrogance showing from the corners of his brows and eyes.

"If I want to do something to the Fifth Prince, I will never sneak around.

You should know my style, when I hit someone, I like to greet people in the face openly.

I really don't bother to do this kind of secret tricks to make people crippled.

Taking a step back, even if I really want to play tricks, I will do it right away and kill the fifth prince directly, so that future troubles can be avoided forever.

Just making people crippled like now, not only can't achieve the goal, but it will deeply stimulate the other party and cause the other party to counterattack more violently.

Isn't this asking for trouble?

I will not do such a stupid thing. "

Concubine Liu Gui was speechless.

Although King Zhao's attitude was too arrogant, it was not unreasonable.

Her eyes fell on the portrait again.

Is it true that what King Zhao said was true, there was someone else who made Yan'er crippled?

Li Ji: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that someone deliberately said some specious things in front of the imperial concubine, so that the imperial concubine doubted me, right?"

Concubine Liu Gui didn't speak.

That's the default.

Li Ji: "As soon as I found Hong Hui on the front foot, someone was sowing discord in front of the imperial concubine on the back foot. What a coincidence."

Concubine Liu Gui suddenly raised her head.

According to King Zhao's wishes, the person who provoked her should be in the same group as the person who murdered the Fifth Prince!

As soon as this idea popped up, it quickly occupied all her thoughts.

Originally, she was still very puzzled, why did Zijuan deliberately provoke her relationship with King Zhao?

She once guessed that maybe the master behind Zijuan had some feud with King Zhao, and that person wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

But if they just want to take revenge on King Zhao, they should actually go to Concubine Liang, or think of other ways, there is no need to go to her.

Thinking about it now, there is only one answer——

It's that group of people who want to bring disaster to the east and kill two birds with one stone.

Li Ji looked at her with a half-smile.

"Looking at the appearance of the noble concubine, I must already know who is the real murderer."

At this time Concubine Liu Gui was sitting, her eyes were still a little red, but there was a coldness in her eyes, like a lioness protecting her cubs, with a kind of all-or-nothing ruthlessness.

She opened her mouth to say something.

However, before he could speak, he spit out a mouthful of blood!

Li Ji's expression changed, and he immediately shouted.

"Come on!"

The two old nuns who were waiting outside the door quickly ran in.

When they saw Concubine Liu Gui sitting on the ground vomiting blood, they were frightened out of their wits and couldn't speak well.

"This, what's the matter?"

Li Ji reprimanded in a deep voice: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

The two old mothers woke up like a dream.

They ran towards the door together, and because they ran too fast, they tripped over the threshold.

The two fell into a ball, screaming in pain.

Li Ji said coldly: "Just go alone."

So one old nanny ran outside, while the other stayed behind to take care of Concubine Liu Gui.

She said it was taking care of her, but in fact she didn't know how to take care of her, her whole mind was blank.

Concubine Liu Gui pressed her painful abdomen, raised her head with difficulty, and looked at King Zhao who was standing not far away.

"It's Zijuan. She gave me a bottle of Hedinghong. She said that as long as I kill myself, the master behind her will find a way to send Yan'er out of Shangjing."

"I know it's stupid to do this, but there's nothing else I can do."

"My elder brother was arrested, and the entire Liu family is ruined. I don't know how long I can live. No one can protect Yan'er in the future."

"If I can exchange my life for Yan'er to live a peaceful life, I think it's worth it."

"I don't know who is behind Zicuckoo, Zuo is just one of the two princes."

"I should have thought earlier, they will do anything to fight for the throne."

Concubine Liu Gui's aura became weaker and weaker, her face turned an abnormal bluish-gray.

"Everything is done by me, it's all my fault, I don't regret dying."

"Just for the sake of brother, don't hurt Yan'er."

"He is already a useless person, and he will not hinder any of you any more."

She stared straight at King Zhao, her eyes were bloodshot, she was holding her last breath, as if she was waiting for an answer.

However, King Zhao never said a word.
