When Le Chengdi finally finished his cup of tea, Prince Rui and Prince Gong finally asked to be excused. Standing here was simply suffering, so out of sight, out of mind. Perhaps they were provoked by Le Chengdi, but after the two left, they didn't even bother to maintain the brotherly respect on the surface. They each returned to their own homes, each looking for their own … mother.
The resentment in Li Hongming's heart had reached a critical point. If he didn't vent it out, he might really do something unexpected.
When he saw Imperial Consort Su, he directly kicked out all the servants, even forgetting basic etiquette and rules, venting his anger on Imperial Consort Su. The only place where he could reveal his pure emotions was Imperial Consort Su.
Imperial Consort Su was calm and composed, leisurely drinking tea. When Li Hongming finally calmed down, she spoke with a bit of apology, "Are you done?"
"Mufei, Erchen was rude. Erchen asks Mufei for forgiveness."
Imperial Consort Su had always been strict with Prince Rui, but when he was in a bad mood, she was a gentle and loving mother. "It's nothing more than your Sixth Brother and your Imperial Father's' filial piety 'that made you unhappy. You're a big man, someone who wants to ascend the throne, yet you're acting like a spoiled girl. What's wrong with you?"
Li Hongming's face was a bit ashen, "Mufei, don't confuse the main point every time."
Imperial Consort Su glanced at him faintly, "This consort told you a long time ago that your Imperial Father won't pass the throne to your Sixth Brother. How many times has this consort told you not to take your Sixth Brother's favor to heart? Why don't you listen and insist on pestering him?"
"Mufei wants Erchen to feel at ease, or at least explain things clearly to Erchen. You always want Erchen to feel at ease, but in fact, Erchen only sees Imperial Father as his son. We're nothing."
Imperial Consort Su was silent for a moment, quietly looking at Li Hongming, "If you have any trust in this consort, you shouldn't say such things."
Li Hongming's lips squirmed, "Mufei, Erchen just feels terrified every time I see that scene."
"Your sixth brother is a devil. Even if the throne is passed to a child who is crying piteously for food, it won't be him. You can rest assured now." She had kept this secret for so many years and had repeatedly brushed off Li Hongming. However, at this moment, she easily revealed the truth.
Li Hongming's face was full of shock. "This, this …"
"Back then, I personally saw the Imperial Noble Consort die. I personally saw your Imperial Father cut open her belly. When your Sixth Brother was born, he didn't have the right to inherit the throne. As for the other things, no matter how much he obtained, it was only right. A large part of the reason why ben gong was able to obtain your Imperial Father's trust for so many years was because of the Imperial Noble Consort and your sixth brother. As for the Imperial Noble Consort's death, ben gong wants … Ming 'er, when you ascend the throne, don't bother with your sixth brother. At that time, you will be the ruler and he will be the subject. He won't cause trouble for you anymore. As for the matters of these years, compared to your other brothers, you didn't suffer any actual losses.
Li Hongming was silent for a moment before he gradually digested Imperial Consort Su's words. "Even if Sixth Brother is a devil, it's naturally inauspicious. Imperial Father isn't afraid …"
"Your Imperial Father is the true Son of Heaven and will naturally be protected by the heavens. Your Sixth Brother has no power or influence. He's just an idle prince who can't affect the fate of the country. Furthermore, the Imperial Noble Consort is Imperial Father's favorite. Your Sixth Brother is the only thing she left behind, whether it's a person or an object. Furthermore," Imperial Consort Su paused, "the Imperial Noble Consort was personally killed by your Imperial Father. In summary, if Yuan 'er was born before her death, you really wouldn't have a share of this country.
You'd better be sensible. "The news that Imperial Consort Su threw out one after another made Li Hongming a little confused. "Imperial Father killed the Imperial Noble Consort?"
"Regarding this, you don't need to know the specifics. It won't do you any good. In the future, you just need to do your job well. You know your Sixth Brother's temper. If there's nothing, don't provoke him. As for the rest, as long as your Imperial Father isn't completely muddle-headed and sticks to his bottom line, no matter what he does to your Sixth Brother, you just need to keep silent."
Li Hongming took two deep breaths. Although he wasn't afraid of people like the devils, it wasn't good to provoke Li Hongyuan. In the future, he would naturally stay far away from them. "Imperial Mother, Imperial Father is so good to Sixth Brother. Will Sixth Brother …"
"It doesn't matter if he will or won't. Ambition is linked to the power in one's hands. Your Sixth Brother is living unscrupulously. Do you think he can't see clearly? The limitless sacred favor of the Emperor could easily cause one to lose their way. If one couldn't see clearly, they wouldn't be who they were today. After all, having the favor and not having the authority was enough to drive a person completely crazy. Ming 'er, in terms of intelligence, none of your brothers can compare to him. Moreover … "
Li Hongming didn't know what Imperial Consort Su's unfinished words were. However, his Imperial Mother had always been gentle and dignified. Other emotions might be shown when she was fighting with the concubines, but even then, it was mostly an act. Thus, it was really hard to detect when her true emotions were. However, at this moment, his complexion was really not good. He knew that it was just like how Imperial Father killed the Imperial Noble Consort. He shouldn't ask about the specifics.
"You should be able to feel at ease now?"
"Imperial Mother, Erchen is ashamed." Li Hongming lowered his head with a bitter expression.
"Just don't be so suspicious. If there's nothing else, then go back. Imperial Mother is tired. "
"Imperial Mother, rest well. Erchen will take his leave."
"The only people who knew about what happened today were me and your father. Don't let a fourth person hear about it. If any rumors were to spread, it would definitely anger your father. After so many years, he has always felt guilty, but he is also deceiving himself, as if he has forgotten what he really did. If his wounds are opened again, the consequences are not something we can bear."
"Imperial Mother, don't worry. Erchen knows the severity of the matter."
"Go."
Li Hongming's mood suddenly brightened up like a June day. All along, the opponent he was most afraid of was not Prince Kang, but Li Hongyuan. Because imperial power was supreme, no matter how much power you had, you couldn't resist an imperial edict. Even if you could kill the Emperor and usurp the throne, you would still be a traitor. You would be criticized by later generations if you didn't have a proper title. Now, what he was worried about had never existed. Except for Li Hongyuan, who could compete with him in terms of the degree of favor? In addition, he had power in his hands. Ha, hahaha … Li Hongming's smile was obvious. He almost looked up to the sky and laughed.
Devil … these two words slipped from the tip of his tongue again and again.
Ignoring Li Hongyuan's wanton arrogance, he became an inauspicious person in Li Hongming's eyes. A pitiful worm!
Li Hongyuan didn't know Li Hongming's thoughts. If he knew, he would probably just sneer. A pitiful worm? What kind of expression would he have when he was stepped on by a pitiful worm like him in the future?
For the sake of a so-called good reputation, he was timid. This thing was not even a fart in Li Hongyuan's eyes. Not to mention usurping the throne, even if the world was plunged into misery and suffering, he wouldn't bat an eyelid. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been a notorious tyrant in his previous life. The surrounding countries all shrank their heads and acted like cowards.
Prince Rui returned to his own courtyard in a good mood. However, as soon as he entered the door, he was informed that Concubine Ying had been making a racket and wanted to see him. To Li Hongming, Lu Jingying had lost her value. However, she still had a child in her belly. Although he didn't really care whether he had a son or not, having a child would still be more beneficial to him. At least no one would hold onto this point and not let it go. It wasn't like he was ascending the throne when he was still young. For adult princes like him, having an heir was also an important factor in whether or not they could ascend the throne. This was because the family valued inheritance, and the Emperor was even more so.
Li Hongming thought about it and decided to go see her. At least, he wanted her to know her place. If she kept making a ruckus, it would be annoying.
Lu Jingying finally saw Li Hongming. Tears streamed down her face. She was very pitiful. "Your Highness …" She even forgot the rules and threw herself into his arms, sobbing.
Before, Li Hongming might have been patient enough to coax her. Now, his face was full of impatience. Because he felt the clothes on his chest were wet, he showed an extremely disgusted expression. "You're all dead. Why aren't you pulling her away from this prince?"
Feeling Li Hongming's cold air, before the servant girls could do anything, his personal attendant had already stepped forward and pulled Lu Jingying away from Li Hongming's body. Perhaps to prevent her from not letting go of his master, the personal attendant secretly used underhanded means to break her fingers. Lu Jingying cried out in pain. She felt that her fingers were about to break. Lu Jingying was probably used to being arrogant recently. She didn't even think before she threw a slap, "Lowly servant, you have big guts."
Ever since he became Prince Rui's personal attendant, there were a lot of people who tried to curry favor with him. When wangfei spoke to him, she would always have a somewhat amiable expression. Other than when his own master lost his temper, it was probably only when he was kicked by Prince Jin. That living King of Hell, no one could afford to offend him. Even if he was kicked, it would be in vain. Don't expect anyone to make a decision for him. But now, a little concubine slapped him? Resentment flashed through her eyes. With a bit of grievance, she quietly retreated behind Prince Rui. When you have value, you're a treasure. When you have no value, you're just a blade of grass.
Li Hongming's face immediately darkened. He was a man who preferred gentle and chaste women. He didn't mind the occasional slow taste, but once he was tired, no matter what he did, it would be wrong. With a backhand slap, Lu Jingying was directly knocked to the ground.
Lu Jingying covered her face. There were still traces of blood at the corner of her mouth. She didn't dare to look at Li Hongming. The man standing in front of her, he wasn't her husband, right? Clearly, a few days ago, he was still hugging her and whispering sweet nothings into her ear. "Wangye, you hit me?"
"Daring to address Wangye as' you and I ', Concubine Ying, please pay attention to your status." The personal attendant behind Prince Rui reminded.
Li Hongming couldn't see it, but Lu Jingying could clearly see the disdain and malice in his eyes.
