Chapter 1503: Vicious and domineering (10)

The emperor comforted Concubine Li: "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I believe Ke'er will give you an explanation."

Dai Ke asked back, "What do my brother and Concubine Li want to explain?"

Concubine Li shouted, "My son is dead anyway, someone has to pay for his life!"

"Why? Concubine Li wants to kill me?"

Dai Ke's low mood made Concubine Li panic: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that Xiao Ye had to pay for my son's life. After all, this matter was caused by him."

"Why did I let Xiao Ye die when I killed him? If my royal brother cannot tolerate me, he can just order me to die. Why do you have to find such an excuse to make trouble?"

Dai Ke spoke arrogantly, and his cold eyes seemed to tell the emperor that if he dared to sentence him to death, the throne would have to be replaced tomorrow.

[Host, the mission target is nearby. ]

Dai Ke glanced around inconspicuously and noticed two figures passing by the window.

Dai Ke kept his troops in place, hoping to test the emperor's intentions.

The emperor said earnestly, "Ke'er, what you did today was too much. If it gets out, wouldn't it damage the dignity of the royal family?"

"Besides, if this matter is not explained, how can I stand firm in front of the court officials in the future, and how can I talk about my prestige?"

"And I know that you have long disliked Xiao Ye, otherwise you wouldn't have always bullied him. Why don't you take this opportunity to put Xiao Ye in the cold palace, so that you don't have to worry about it?"

The emperor had been keeping an eye on the movements in Fengyu Palace, and he also felt that Xiao Ye had been living too comfortably recently. If he was not allowed to suffer more, how could he force the young general of Sheng State to send troops to rescue him?

And his ultimate goal is to make Xiao Ye hate Dai Ke, so as to give Sheng Guo a reason to use Dai Ke to apologize and comfort him.

If the relationship between the two eases, how can he implement his plan?

Sowing discord? Dai Ke thought to himself.

Dai Ke can protect Xiao Ye, but not too much. Otherwise, if the emperor thinks that she values ​​Xiao Ye, he might regard Xiao Ye as her weakness.

"Brother, if you want to punish me, then do so. I have no objection."

When Xiao Ye, who was taken to the window, heard this, his heart trembled.

Could it be that what Zhuifeng said was true?

Did Dai Ke really want to use the emperor to get rid of him?

"But..." Dai Ke changed the subject, "Even if you raise a dog, you will have feelings for it. What's more, I have raised it for such a long time and I like this dog very much."

"As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. My Royal Brother, for my sister's sake, just banish him to the cold palace and give him fifty lashes of the cane."

The emperor was surprised and even delighted.

A lash of the board is enough to kill a person, let alone fifty lashes?

I originally thought that Dai Ke was interested in Xiao Ye, but it seemed that he just treated him as a plaything, so the emperor felt relieved.

"I will go back now and let the guards of Fengyu Palace carry out the execution."

Hearing this, the emperor hurriedly stopped her and said, "Concubine Li has lost her beloved son. You should talk to her first. I will order someone to bring Xiao Ye here."

"also."

The emperor stood up and said, "Then you guys chat first. I'll have someone prepare some refreshments for you."

The emperor left the imperial study and Xiao Ye was taken away.

In the side hall, the emperor came straight to the point: "You heard it too, Dai Ke wants you dead."

Xiao Ye still seemed to hear Dai Ke's voice: "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of bringing me here?"

"I want to cooperate with you to get rid of Dai Ke."

If they cooperate with Sheng State, they will have to sacrifice troops. If they can place a spy next to Dai Ke and take the opportunity to kill him, the benefits will be greater.

"I'm afraid I don't have that ability."

"I don't need you to kill Dai Ke immediately. You can hide in Fengyu Palace first and look for the whereabouts of the tiger talisman. When you find it, give it to me and I will send you back to Sheng Kingdom."

"And Dai Ke has been torturing you for so long, and now he has given you fifty lashes of the cane, don't you want to retaliate?"

Of course Xiao Ye wanted to, but he didn't believe the emperor.

But now he was in a critical situation. If he did not cooperate with the emperor, the fifty strokes of the cane would surely cost him his life. Considering the pros and cons, only cooperation could temporarily save his life.

"I can cooperate with your majesty, but these fifty strokes of the cane..."

"Don't worry, I'm just pretending. I won't hurt you too badly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor came back soon. Dai Ke listened to the noise outside and asked, "Did Xiao Ye come with him?"

"Imperial sister wants to go and watch?"

"Then let's take a look."

Dai Ke walked out of the imperial study. Xiao Ye was placed on a long bench with two guards holding spiked sticks.

Xiao Ye lay on the stool, and the hatred in his eyes intensified when he looked at Dai Ke.

Dai Ke looked at Zhui Hun and said, "I am tired. Let's go back to Fengyu Palace."

"Yes."

Zhui Hun raised his hand to call for a sedan chair, Dai Ke sat on it and told the emperor: "My brother, remember to have someone carry him back to Fengyu Palace."

Watching Dai Ke leave like that, Xiao Ye clenched his fingers on the stool.

He originally thought that Dai Ke would be soft-hearted and save him, but he turned a blind eye.

It seems that she really doesn't care whether he lives or dies.

It was something he had clearly understood a long time ago, but why did his heart ached so much when Dai Ke turned around and left?

The emperor signaled to the guards, and they replaced the sticks in their hands and struck much more gently.

On the way back, 005 worriedly said, "Host, that's fifty lashes, won't you save Xiao Ye?"

[No need to save him. The emperor won't hurt him too badly.]

Seeing Xiao Ye's eyes full of hatred, he knew that the emperor's attempt to sow discord had succeeded.

Since the emperor wanted to sow discord, he wanted to use Xiao Ye, so the emperor would not hurt his own people. After all, he had to win people's hearts. Dai Ke left directly to avoid the emperor really beating Xiao Ye for her to see.

[But host, your words are too hurtful. You also ordered fifty lashes. Aren't you trying to make Xiao Ye hate you? ]

【I deliberately made him hate me.】

【why? 】

【You will know.】

After returning to Fengyu Palace, Dai Ke climbed out of the back window and went to meet Shen Anqing.

Shen Anqing seemed to have expected Dai Ke to come, and sat at the table brewing tea: "Your Highness, why are you forcing me?"

Dai Ke sat down, took the teacup and took a sip: "What do you mean, sir?"

"First, you killed the prince, which made the emperor hate you and told me that the feud had already been established and that you and the emperor had to decide the winner." "Then you executed Xiao Ye, which gave the emperor the opportunity to alienate you and Xiao Ye, and let the emperor take the opportunity to turn Xiao Ye against you, telling me that you were at the mercy of a knife."

"Now you and the emperor are at loggerheads. If I do not help you, you will directly rebel, and the people will be plunged into the mire due to unprovoked disasters."

"You know that I cannot bear to watch this scene, so aren't you forcing me to make a decision?"

Dai Ke smiled and said, "Sir, you are indeed extremely intelligent."

Dai Ke killed the prince not just to protect Xiao Ye, his real purpose was to provoke the emperor's anger.

Only when Shen Anqing sees that the emperor begins to target her, will she understand Dai Ke's determination to rebel.

"I don't want to be a traitor."
