I am the villain in the book

The next morning, Tianlu Hall.

Having learned yesterday that Ning Yongnian was going to Yuanzhou, Wei Changtian guessed that there might be major turmoil in the Da Feng situation recently.

Fearing that delay would lead to changes, he came to Li Qi early in the morning and told the latter his plan.

“.”

“Your Majesty, that’s how it is.”

“The Queen’s knot is now clear, and the princess has done everything she can.”

“If you want the Queen to speak, then you must go there again.”

“And... you’d better soften your stance.”

Soften your stance.

Although Wei Changtian didn’t say it directly, the meaning was already very clear.

If he wanted to completely "move" Yu Pingjun, then Li Qi had to admit that he was wrong before.

Whether it was insincere or hypocritical.

For the sake of the secret about Ning Yongnian and Bai Youheng, he had to do it.

If it were Wei Changtian, he would probably do this without any psychological burden.

However, for an emperor, admitting that he was wrong was undoubtedly a difficult thing.

What’s more, he had to admit his mistake to a woman who had personally given him a green hat... Then this hurdle would probably be even more difficult to overcome.

“Young Master Wei, this method is useless.”

Shaking his head, Li Qi slowly got up from the side of the desk, turned his back and said: “Yu Pingjun is meticulous in her thoughts, and she knows my temperament very well, she won’t believe it.”

“Your Majesty, precisely because she believes that you will not admit your mistake, your concession at this time will be more effective.”

The morning sun shone in through the window, and the only response to Wei Changtian was silence.

Li Qi still turned his back and didn’t say a word, and after a brief surprise, Wei Changtian gradually understood why the former was so resistant.

“Your Majesty, forgive my impoliteness.”

Frowning, Wei Changtian also stood up and said directly without concealment: “Perhaps you are unable to say this because of the majesty of the emperor, or it may be because of the dignity of a man that you can’t say such a thing.”

“But in my opinion, now nothing is more important than finding out Ning Yongnian’s conspiracy.”

“Your Majesty, yesterday I just received news that Ning Yongnian suddenly left Beijing for Yuanzhou the day before yesterday.”

“I don’t know why he went to Yuanzhou, but it may be related to what he is planning.”

“Yes, the Queen did something sorry for you before, if it were me, I couldn’t bear it, and maybe I would have killed her with a knife.”

“So I can understand what you are thinking now.”

“But you must also know that you and I are ultimately different.”

“To put it bluntly, if I commit a crime, the entire Wei family will bear it for me, so it’s okay to be a little willful.”

“But you can’t do that!”

“Because in addition to being a man, you are also the emperor of Da Feng!”

“.”

Boom!

Like a muffled thunder exploding in his ears.

The five words "Emperor of Da Feng" made Li Qi’s slightly thin back suddenly shake.

Seeing that this trick was effective, Wei Changtian quickly took a step forward and continued: “Your Majesty, now that Bai Youheng is missing, and my spies around Ning Yongnian have not found anything.”

“At present, only the Queen knows about this conspiracy, and we can only start with her.”

“If this move fails, no one can say what Da Feng will encounter next.”

“Your Majesty, to be honest, these things have nothing to do with me, and it’s already benevolent and righteous for me to be able to do this step.”

“So I will ask you one last time, I wonder if you are willing to see the Queen?”

“If you still refuse to see her, then I will turn around and leave now, and I will never interfere in such trivial matters again.”

“If you are willing, then nod your head.”

“That’s all I have to say, I hope Your Majesty will consider it carefully before making a decision!”

“.”

After saying the last sentence, Wei Changtian really stopped speaking, just staring at Li Qi’s back, waiting for the latter’s answer.

He was not "threatening" Li Qi just now, but really intended to do so.

After all, judging from the currently known information, Ning Yongnian’s conspiracy is likely aimed at the Yuanzhou battlefield, that is, aimed at Da Feng, which has nothing to do with him directly.

Although he will turn against Ning Yongnian sooner or later, at least now this layer of window paper has not been completely broken.

Therefore, in the past few days, he has actually been "helping out" for free.

Now that things have finally turned around, but Li Qi is hesitating and unwilling to cooperate.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was the king of a country and very likely to become his future father-in-law, Wei Changtian would have turned his face and cursed.

Even now, he reluctantly endured his dissatisfaction and gave Li Qi another chance, but this was also the last time.

As long as the latter shakes his head, Wei Changtian will definitely turn around and leave immediately, and never get involved in this mess again.

“Huh”

A gust of breeze blew in from afar, blowing the scales of the guards waiting outside the Tianlu Hall, and then passing through the gap in the hall door, gently stroking Li Qi’s robe.

The five-clawed golden dragon swayed a few times with the swing of the corner of the robe, and then was gently pressed down by a palm.

Li Qi still didn’t turn around, but after a long silence, he finally nodded slowly.

“Young Master Wei, I understand.”

“.”

Damn it, he finally got the hang of it!

Relieved, Wei Changtian glanced at Li Qi’s back again, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and casually placed it on the desk full of memorials.

“Your Majesty, this paper has the rhetoric I designed, you may wish to take a look in advance.”

“Also, delay will lead to changes, since you have already decided, it is better to see the Queen as soon as possible.”

“I’ll take my leave.”

Having explained everything that needed to be explained, Wei Changtian knew that Li Qi wouldn’t listen to anything else he said at this time, so he simply cupped his hands and turned around to walk out of the Tianlu Hall.

Outside the hall, the old eunuch who had been waiting here saw him come out, and smiled and bowed and said: “Young Master Wei, walk slowly.”

“Yes.”

Wei Changtian nodded, and the next moment he suddenly reached out and stopped the old eunuch who was about to enter the hall: “Eunuch Xu, let the Emperor stay alone for a while.”

“Ah?”

The old eunuch was stunned, wanting to ask the reason, but before he could speak, Wei Changtian had already walked away.

“This”

Although the old eunuch didn’t understand, he hesitated for a while but didn’t really enter the hall, just glanced at the back standing in front of the desk from afar, and then slowly closed the hall door again.

“Pa”

After a slight sound, there was no more movement in the hall.

Li Qi stood like this for a long time, and finally turned back when the sandalwood in the incense burner was about to go out.

He picked up the Xuan paper full of rhetoric and glanced at it, then put it down again.

Li Qi understood why Wei Changtian gave him this paper.

But...

How could he have nothing to say.

That’s good, then let’s make everything clear.

Then.

Those who should live will live, and those who should die will die.
