After the death of the US strong villain, the hero and heroine BE

After listening to Li Xiaoji's words, the emperor's eyes narrowed, and several ministers looked at each other and made eye contact.

If what Li Xiaoji said is true, then the Seventh Prince really wants to be punished, but what is his purpose for doing this? What benefits can it bring to him by instigating Li Xiaoji to hate Yuguo?
To put it bluntly, Li Xiaoji has already lost his country and can only rely on Yu State to survive. If hatred grows and he cannot figure out the situation, he can be kicked out at any time.

The hatred of those who have nothing to rely on is always meaningless. It cannot change the fact that the country is destroyed, nor can it improve one's own situation. It will also leave one without any foundation for establishing oneself.

But Li Xiaoji's situation is slightly different. After all, he has always been a favored existence, has the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince, and is on good terms with Mu Ling'er.

If the Seventh Prince succeeds in instigating Li Xiaoji and turns him into a knife in his hand, it is not impossible to divide the Yu Kingdom's royal family.

Perhaps this is the purpose of the Seventh Prince, to use Li Xiaoji's hand to hurt His Highness the Crown Prince, and then seize the Crown Prince's position, or even the throne of the Emperor.

Don't say this is a whimsical behavior. In the royal family, any inconspicuous thing is worth using. If used well, no matter how humble you were born, you can turn over in one day.

Thinking about this, the eyes of several ministers became complicated. They thought that among the princes, the second prince was arrogant and the third prince was scheming, but they didn't know that there was also a seventh prince with a twisted intestine.

The emperor was also silent, feeling annoyed when he thought of the birth of the seventh prince.

If he had known this, he shouldn't have quarreled with the queen over trivial matters. In that case, why would he have used wine to drown his sorrows, visited others at will, and even left the dragon seed behind?
When the atmosphere was silent, Li Xiaoji started crying again, with expectation in his tearful eyes, "Father, this is not true, is it?"

"My son, I don't believe that Yu Guo would treat Yan Guo like this, and I don't believe that my father would be so cruel. Instead of burying my thoughts in my heart, it's better to open up and ask for clarification."

"Now, I just want to hear a word from my father. No matter what my father says, I will believe it, because my father is the person I value and trust the most in this world!"

Having said that, Li Xiaoji opened her eyes wide and took full advantage of the innocence and sincerity unique to this age group.

"..." The emperor came back to his senses, looked at Li Xiaoji's face, and was moved by his trust. If he hadn't been sincere, he wouldn't have been so reckless in front of him.

Thinking again about the seventh prince's sudden gesture of goodwill to Li Xiaoji, the emperor already believed what Li Xiaoji just said.

He immediately ordered someone to investigate and find out what the Seventh Prince was doing behind his back and how much ability this child he named "Yu" had.

Several ministers looked at this development and understood that the seventh prince was in danger, but it was his own fault. It was not good to blame who, but Li Xiaoji?
The seventh prince, who could not hear any movement, stood outside the study. At the moment when the emperor gave the order, he felt cold all over his body. The threat of death made him unable to think, and he just wanted to escape quickly.

But before he could raise his feet, he was "invited" into the study. He looked around and saw everyone's reactions, and then listened to the emperor's questioning. He was stunned.

He couldn't believe that this would be the development. Did Li Xiaoji actually trust the emperor and Yu Guo so much, without even the slightest doubt?

But why did he always feel that Li Xiaoji did it on purpose? When he came here, the other party had planned this out. Otherwise, why did everything happen so naturally?

He just hinted a few words, and Li Xiaoji suddenly became emotional. It was not like his usual behavior at all, and he would do this repeatedly. Could it be that the other party had already learned about him and Nan Yi?
Li Xiaoji, who was lying on the emperor's knees to calm down, seemed to be aware of it, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Didn't the seventh prince say it himself?Things are unpredictable, and no one can predict what will happen next moment.

You think others are mice and you are the cat, but you don’t know that you are the mouse trapped in the cage.

"Xuan Ziyu, I'm asking you a question!" The emperor's deep, majestic words suddenly rang in his ears, causing the seventh prince to suddenly come back to his senses. He subconsciously raised his eyes, but he happened to meet the King of God's gaze.

At that moment, the seventh prince's state of mind collapsed. He didn't even have the courage to defend himself. His legs gave out and he collapsed on the ground. Cold sweat instantly wet his back.He didn't have much ability to begin with, and he was naturally vulnerable in front of his father, who was always afraid of him.

Looking at the reaction of the seventh prince, the emperor and several ministers knew that if there was anything they didn't understand, they didn't need to ask any more questions. They just wanted to get to the bottom of it.

As soon as the emperor took action, the seventh prince, who had little to rely on, was of course unable to escape. Previously, he could only make small moves with the help of convenience that was not valued, and the cobwebs were darkened.

Once he gained "attention", the things he had done and the words he had said were easily dug out, and the fact that he had always been connected with Nan Yi was exposed.

It was also Li Xiaoji who acted too quickly and suddenly. The Seventh Prince was not prepared at all. He asked the secret guards to search his study for some letters that were too late to be burned, and there was conclusive evidence.

Nan Yi has long been a taboo for the royal family of the Yu Kingdom. As soon as he heard this name and read the affectionate love poem written by the seventh prince to Nan Yi, the emperor instantly became furious.

If the seventh prince wanted to use Li Xiaoji to hurt Xuan Ziqing out of pure ambition, the emperor would still look down upon him, but this fool just wanted to win the favor of the beauty.

The reason for seizing the throne can be benevolence, hatred, or power, but it must not be to make someone laugh. If someone only has selfish desires in his heart, he will sit on the throne and be destined to be a cowardly king and the country will be destroyed.

Unexpectedly, Nan Yi was still connected with the royal family of Yu State, and even set a trap for Yu State. If Li Xiaoji hadn't trusted Yu State enough, he would have fallen into her trap and been swayed by hatred.

Fortunately, the seventh prince's status was low and his power was limited. He could provide little help to Nan Yi, so he never revealed any fatal secrets.

The Seventh Prince miscalculated this time and underestimated Li Xiaoji's feelings for Yu State. Otherwise, he might have been able to hide in the dark for a while and disrupt the situation in Yu State step by step according to his and Nan Yi's plan.

Compared to the seventh prince's stupidity, Li Xiaoji, who could see things clearly, was much smarter. He was not easily deceived by others, and even caught the opponent off guard.

This gave the emperor some comfort. He looked at the letter in front of him, took a deep breath, and decided to spare the life of the seventh prince. After all, he was of his own blood.

He wanted to drive the seventh prince out of the palace and choose a place to imprison him, but he was comforted by the prime minister, and the Minister of Staff also came to help, saying that he could use the seventh prince to dig out Nan Yi's informants in Yu State.

The emperor, whose anger had subsided, accepted the proposal and sent someone to interrogate the seventh prince, making sure to find out everything he knew and not miss a trace.

Externally, everyone only knew that the seventh prince had bullied Li Xiaoji for no apparent reason. The emperor was angry and stood up for him, punishing the seventh prince severely and placing him under house arrest.

The seventh prince's uncle's family ran around begging for mercy to no avail, so they had no choice but to close the doors and windows tightly and remain silent, lest the emperor would liquidate them together.

And privately, some people were already taking inventory of their belongings, hoping to escape from the imperial city before the emperor thought of them, and use their money to live somewhere else.

The second prince, who was still howling three times a day, blinked when he heard the news outside. What, even Xiao Qi is unclean?After all, Li Xiaoji was not someone who would be bullied.

But it shouldn’t be a surprise. Who in this palace is simple?Xiaoqi's methods are just a bit poor.
