PFC Chapter 245: Li Changsheng is the Lao Ai of Dawu?
Chapter 245: Li Changsheng is the Lao Ai of Dawu?
Hearing Xiao Yunfei's exclamation, Ge Lin stroked his goatee and spoke.
"Prince, all of this is just speculation now. There is no real evidence. We need to investigate thoroughly!"
Xiao Tiangui made the decision and said, "Mr. Ge's words make sense. The most urgent thing is to have the palace spies secretly investigate to see if Yan Qing is really in the harem."
Ge Lin asked, "My lord, if Yan Qing is really found in the palace, what should we do?"
Xiao Tiangui thought for a moment and said, "It's not advisable to make it public for now. This will become a trump card in our hands when the time comes. It might even come in handy in an unexpected way at a critical moment!"
Green nodded and said that he would arrange it right away.
Xiao Tiangui looked at the chaotic court and the smoke of war everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"Alas, people's hearts are no longer as they used to be. In troubled times, evil spirits emerge. It seems that the Nine Provinces are really going to change!"
……
When Xiao Ziyan learned that Li Changsheng was going to be beheaded, it was like a bolt from the blue.
The first thing she did was to go find her father Xiao Yunfei.
I hope my father can help me.
Xiao Yunfei never expected that his daughter would go against the will of the world and beg him to save the eunuch Li Changsheng.
This made him very angry.
Xiao Yunfei suppressed his anger and asked, "Zi Yan, why did you come to ask me to save Li Changsheng?"
Xiao Ziyan said: "Because Li Changsheng saved my life before!"
Xiao Yunfei said angrily: "It's true that he saved your life, but we owe him a favor and we've already repaid it!"
Xiao Ziyan's eyes were red as she said, "Father, you always taught me that even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Li Changsheng saved my life. Can I repay him with just ten thousand taels of silver and a Ganoderma lucidum?"
Xiao Yunfei was furious and blurted out, "But he also ruined your innocence. How should this be settled?"
Yan Wanqiu next to him scolded, "Master, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Ziyan also understood at this time that her parents seemed to know everything.
She was struck by lightning, and stood there dejectedly, muttering to herself woodenly.
"He did that to save me. I can't blame him. I can't blame him..."
Seeing their daughter's reaction, Yan Wanqiu and Xiao Yunfei understood.
All the previous speculations were true.
It was indeed Li Changsheng who ruined his daughter's innocence.
Now it seems that Li Changsheng is Da Wu, the real Lao Ai!
Thinking about Li Changsheng, he had served the queen in Ganquan Palace for three whole years.
And during this period, His Majesty never set foot in Ganquan Palace.
This forced Concubine Xiao Yu, who had just gotten married and became the queen, to become a widow for three years.
Li Changsheng is not only handsome, but also talented in both literature and martial arts. He speaks nicely and can make girls happy.
They have been together day and night for the past three years, and they are both at the age of passion.
If you say that nothing intimate happened, I'm afraid the stray dogs on the street would shake their heads when they heard it.
Your Majesty suddenly wants to kill Li Changsheng. Is it because he has discovered the unspeakable secret between this guy and the Queen?
Just taking advantage of the opportunity of King Zhao to purge the court of evil officials, he could be beheaded with justification?
After all, family scandals should not be made public.
If this matter were to be made public, both the royal family and the Xiao family would lose face and become the laughing stock of the world.
Now, Your Majesty has executed Li Changsheng in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials.
The reason why the queen has not been dealt with yet is most likely because they are afraid of the strength of their Xiao family.
What's more, His Majesty now needs to rely on the Xiao family to counter King Zhao and contain the Jiang family.
But if the crisis is resolved, one day, Your Majesty will take power.
The first thing to do at that time would probably be to deal with the queen and the Xiao family, right?
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Yunfei's expression instantly darkened.
This matter concerns the life and death of the entire family. He cannot make the decision alone, so he wants to tell his father.
However, he was stopped by his wife.
"Master, the war is about to begin. We should not distract father, lest we shake the morale of the army."
"The most urgent task right now is to defend Hulao Pass. As long as our Xiao family still controls the military power of Dawu, as long as Dawu still needs my father, His Majesty will not dare to attack Concubine Yu and our Xiao family!"
Xiao Yunfei thought about it carefully and felt that what his wife said made sense.
"It seems that this is the only way to go!"
Xiao Ziyan, who was standing next to him, was completely confused.
Could it be that Li Changsheng and his aunt...
Thinking of this, the subsequent plot is really too explosive.
So much so that Xiao Ziyan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
No, I have to ask my aunt about this matter.
Otherwise, if she kept it in her heart, she felt she would go crazy.
After secretly making up her mind, Xiao Ziyan took advantage of the fact that her grandfather was away at the battle and her parents were busy and exhausted, and quietly slipped out of the house.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family and has a badge from the palace.
Therefore, he entered the palace without any effort.
In Ganquan Palace, Concubine Xiao Yu had already learned that His Majesty wanted to execute Li Changsheng.
She was also extremely anxious about this.
Originally, she wanted to go to His Majesty and plead for Li Changsheng.
But he never even saw His Majesty, as he was blocked by Qingying.
Now she is hesitating whether to use her family connections to save Li Changsheng.
Just as she was racking her brains to think of a reason, Mingzhu suddenly came hurriedly to report that Xiao Ziyan had arrived.
Concubine Xiao Yu seemed a little surprised when she saw her niece.
"Zi Yan, why are you here in the palace? Did your father ask you to come?"
Xiao Ziyan shook her head: "No, I came here secretly."
Seeing that she was in a strange mood, Concubine Xiao Yu asked with concern, "Zi Yan, did something happen?"
Xiao Ziyan bit her lip and said, "Aunt, His Majesty wants to kill Li Changsheng!"
Xiao Yufei nodded: "I already know about this matter!"
Xiao Ziyan asked: "Aunt, do you know why His Majesty wanted to kill him?"
Xiao Yufei was slightly stunned.
"Isn't it to help Prince Zhao purge his entourage, without any legitimate reason?"
Xiao Ziyan had been staring at the changes in Xiao Yufei's expression and saw that she seemed to be unaware that Li Changsheng was Lao Ai of Dawu.
Could it be that there is no substantial close relationship between Li Changsheng and my aunt?
To be on the safe side, she decided to give it another try.
"Aunt, there are rumors now that Li Changsheng is our Dawu's Lao Ai, not a real eunuch!"
When Xiao Yufei heard the news, she was shocked and her face was full of disbelief.
"What? Li Changsheng is Lao Ai?"
Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Yufei are of different generations.
But there is not much difference in age between the two of them, and they have been playing together as sisters since childhood.
Therefore, Xiao Ziyan knew her aunt's temperament very well.
Now seeing how much Xiao Yufei reacted, I believed in my heart that she didn't know that Li Changsheng was a fake eunuch.
Since you don’t know, Li Changsheng is a fake eunuch.
Then having an improper intimate relationship is naturally even more ridiculous.
"Zi Yan, who told you that Li Changsheng is a fake eunuch?"
Xiao Ziyan was vague and mumbled, "That's what people say outside!"
Concubine Xiao Yufei said, "These are all groundless rumors. They were most likely spread intentionally by Prince Zhao in order to get rid of Li Changsheng."
"No, I have to go find His Majesty again and explain to him the benefits and disadvantages of killing Li Changsheng!"
Xiao Ziyan bit her lip lightly and said, "Aunt, I'll go with you!"
Concubine Xiao Yu didn't think much about it and nodded immediately, pulling Xiao Ziyan along as they headed towards Changle Palace...
