He took a deep breath and then turned around to look at me with a sincere look on his face, ”Your Majesty, I didn't touch her Besides, even if I wanted to do so!”
I sneered, ”At any rate, her reputation has been ruined by you, and now the whole court knohat has happened The E with an order to kill her”
Zhao wang was stunned by this news, ”How did the Emperor find out about this?”
I couldn't think of a proper answer and so I sneered, ”How should I know? You should know that Lv Li is my closest maid and I am not about to let her die for your fault If you don't owe up to this, then you and I are going to have a proble remained silent and after a while, he summoned someone in and instructed that servant to take Lv Li away for a wash
Lv Li looked at ot up from the floor with her head held low and followed the servant out of the courtyard
Zhao wang then invited me into the room and poured me a cup of tea himself He asked, ”Your Majesty, why don't you tellhow smart he was, I decided to cut to the chase and offered him my proposal, ”I want you toupon hearinghis lips
He raised his head up and looked at me, ”Your Majesty, I honestly didn't touch her Back then, I saw that she was asleep, and so I caht that she would wake up and scratch me in the face? I am the victim here”
I nodded, ”True, Lv Li has toldher will be the only way to save her”
Not understanding what Ilooked at me and said, ”How about I plead to the E to let the whole thing go away, the Eainst a maid It's me who's scratched, not him”
I shookthat TrustLv Li will save both of us a lot of troubles Plus, Lv Li is a good girl You won't regret this”
A wry s's face and he replied, ”However out of favor I am, I am still a prince and the son of the late E up the difference in social status? What about Jiang shi+? She is no better than Lv Li and yet you married her anyway
But I couldn't say that out loud It would be like putting out fire with oil
I tried to recall the beautiful figure of Jiang shi+ and adjust my facial expression Then I slowly said, ”Whatever the case is, you started the whole thing, and I can't sit idly by and watch Lv Li being executed Anyway, I don't expect you to take her as your wife You just go to the Grand Dowager Empress and tell her to issue a decree toas the order coer Empress, the Ehtly held down his head, deep in thought
I i ive her a place to live for a year or two When the whole thing dies down, I will take her away”
Zhao wang held up his head and replied reluctantly, ”Your Majesty, this is quite a lot to ask ofthat my persuasion didn't work, I decided to keep up the pressure, and so I sneered once again, ”If you do this for me, then I will be in your debt But if you refuse, then don't bla you down as well If Lv Li dies, you would suffer as well”
Upon hearingshot up his head and looked at me in surprise, ”Your Majesty I am a prince, not so this toas theheld up in my palace I didn't have the time to dawdle anymore, and so I said, ”I don't mean you specifically Doesn't someone still live in Youlan Hall? It won't be hard formy cup when I said these words, and when he understood what Iatto do with that woman anymore”
I kept silent and simply fixedway and continued, ”Plus, I have every reason to hate her Why would I bother whether she lives or dies?”
Bullshi+t, if he really hates Jiang shi+, he would have had her killed before Qi Sheng took the throne Why would he watch these two pulls such a trick that ended with Jiang shi+ ot up, ”If that's your final answer, then there is no need for us to talk anymore I will takesleeve and started walking out
Zhao wang reate I could not help regretting what a bad move I had done I shouldn't have tried to i off with a wave of his sleeve This ood at all!
