Chapter 173 The Empress wants to turn Li Changsheng into a real eunuch!
I heard Qingying came here in person just to tell me that Jiang Li had disappeared.
This made Li Changsheng very confused.
You know, who is Qingying?
The second in command of the Imperial City Department and the chief in the Inner Court.
The most trusted person of Empress Ying Yue is Deli and Qingqing.
The only target that deserves her special attention must be Jiang Li’s father, Jiang Kuanglong, the commander-in-chief of the Longxiong Guard, a person of that level.
As for Jiang Li, he is nothing but a waste who is addicted to alcohol and sex.
Such a small shrimp is not even worthy of Qingying's attention, right?
Li Changsheng calmed down a bit, pretended to be confused, and said disapprovingly:
"Sister Qingying, Jiang Li's disappearance isn't a big deal, right?"
Qingying remained expressionless as she said calmly, "Jiang Li's disappearance isn't a big deal, but..."
Having said this, she suddenly paused and pointed to her feet.
"However, someone saw Jiang Li coming to Beiyuan and disappeared here!"
Hearing this, Li Changsheng, who had been pretending to be calm at first.
My heart instantly rose to my throat.
Could it be that someone saw me killing Jiang Li last night?
Qingying keenly caught Li Changsheng's expression and asked in a serious tone, "Do you know where Jiang Li went?"
Li Changsheng knew that this matter could not be hidden from Qingying's sharp eyes.
In order to avoid being too passive, he weighed the pros and cons, nodded, and admitted it very frankly.
"Yes, I know. Jiang Li has gone to hell to atone for his sins!"
Qingying had guessed long ago that Jiang Li’s disappearance was most likely related to Li Changsheng.
But never imagined...
Li Changsheng, this bastard, was so bold that he killed Jiang Li directly.
"Do you know that killing Jiang Li will cause a lot of trouble?"
Li Changsheng nodded: "I know!"
Qingying was slightly stunned when she saw Li Changsheng's answer so frankly.
"If you knew that, why did you kill him?"
Li Changsheng's eyes were gleaming as he said firmly, "Jiang Li knows a secret he shouldn't know. If we don't kill him, there will be more trouble!"
Qingying stared at Li Changsheng for a while and asked, "Has the body been cleaned up?"
Li Changsheng glanced into the cellar from the corner of his eye and nodded solemnly.
"Well, it was handled very cleanly!"
After hearing this, Qingying's frosty face finally eased a little.
"Just deal with it cleanly. Otherwise, if this matter gets exposed, even His Majesty won't be able to protect you!"
Li Changsheng scratched his head and smiled innocently.
"Sister Qingying, you can rest assured that I will do the job. I guarantee that there will be no problem!"
Seeing that Li Changsheng spoke so confidently, Qingying stopped asking questions and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng stepped forward quickly.
"Sister Qingying, please wait a moment!"
Qingying stopped and asked without turning back, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Li Changsheng gathered his thoughts and said, "Sister Qingying, I think this is a turbulent time. Your Majesty should go to Ganquan Palace to reassure the Xiao family!"
Qingying said expressionlessly, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Please come with me to see His Majesty!"
Li Changsheng nodded and followed Qingying to Changle Palace.
Before Li Changsheng could speak, Ying Yue took the initiative to ask:
"Li Changsheng, I heard that you accompanied the Queen out of the palace to visit her relatives today?"
Li Changsheng said: "Yes, it was the Queen who asked me to accompany you!"
Ying Yue smiled and said, "It seems that the Queen cares about you very much!"
Li Changsheng: "..."
For some reason, he felt that he smelled the scent of jealousy from the empress.
Could it be that the empress is jealous?
Then the problem is coming.
Who is she jealous of?
Just when Li Changsheng was distracted, the empress's cold voice suddenly sounded again.
"I also heard that Xiao Yunfei hosted a private banquet for you and even gave you a generous gift. Is this also true?"
Li Changsheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Although he also knew that the fact that he accepted Xiao Yunfei's generous gift would most likely be known to the empress.
But no one expected that the empress would know it so quickly.
She knew about what happened right after she had done it.
It seems that there are spies specially arranged by the Imperial City Bureau around the Queen or in the Xiao family.
Li Changsheng saw that the matter had been made clear, and it would be meaningless for him to argue again.
Thinking of this, he admitted it openly.
"Yes, that's what happened. Xiao Yunfei gave me 10,000 taels of silver and a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!"
When Ying Yue met the Xiao family, she gave them tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Such a generous gesture even shocked the empress.
"Oh, then why did Xiao Yunfei give you such a valuable gift? Could it be that he has something to ask of you?"
When asking this question, Ying Yue exuded the pressure of a great master and the majesty of an emperor.
This double BUFF also triggered the passive ability.
Her cold and clear eyes were like a sharp sword, staring at Li Changsheng intently.
Judging from the situation, as long as Li Changsheng shows any sign of lying.
She would take action herself and behead him on the spot.
Suddenly, Li Changsheng felt an unprecedented pressure.
He quickly gathered his thoughts, carefully considered his words, and said:
"Your Majesty, I saved the life of Xiao Ziyan, the beloved daughter of the General of the Central Army. She didn't want to owe me a favor, so she offered me a generous reward!"
"Also, I was planning to hand over the banknotes and Ganoderma to His Majesty for disposal."
"It's just that I just returned to the palace and haven't had time to hand it in yet!"
Hearing what Li Changsheng said, Ying Yue stared at him for a while.
The frosty expression showed signs of melting slightly.
"Since this is Xiao Yunfei's gift to you as a reward for saving his daughter, then take it. I don't need your small fortune!"
Li Changsheng felt relieved upon hearing this and quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After a moment of dead silence, Ying Yue casually opened a memorial and threw it in front of Li Changsheng.
"Yannan is in a stalemate. What do you think about this?"
Li Changsheng picked up the memorial and read it carefully.
"Your Majesty, this only gives a general idea. The specifics are unclear, so I can't comment further!"
"However, I have already sent people from the Military Intelligence Bureau to Yannan to gather information. I believe that it won't be long before firsthand intelligence is transmitted back!"
Yingyue and Qingying were both a little surprised to hear that the Military Intelligence Bureau set up by Li Changsheng had actually been put into use.
After all, letting Li Changsheng run the Military Intelligence Bureau was just a mixed bag.
But no one expected that Li Changsheng would act so quickly.
Ying Yue looked at Li Changsheng again and asked in a voice without any emotion:
"Oh, really? How long will it take for you to get any news?"
Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "About a month later, there should be news from Yannan, transmitted to the Divine Capital in the form of urgent military intelligence from 800 miles away!"
Ying Yue made the decision and said, "Okay, I'll give you a month!"
Li Changsheng clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes!"
Ying Yue said: "If there is nothing else important, you can leave first!"
Li Changsheng calmed himself down and said boldly, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing!"
Seeing that Li Changsheng was endless, Ying Yue knew that it was delaying her own cultivation.
Her fair face instantly turned into a layer of frost, and she asked with a little impatience:
"Anything else?"
Li Changsheng carefully chose his words and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress misses you very much. Please move to Ganquan Palace to comfort her!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Yue's already impatient expression froze into ice in an instant.
"Li Changsheng, let me ask you this: Is it that the Queen misses me terribly, or is it that you, a servile slave, are craving her body again?"
Li Changsheng: "???"
The empress asked so directly that for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.
"The Queen misses His Majesty, and I am just a clone of His Majesty!"
Hearing Li Changsheng's answer, Ying Yue laughed in anger.
This dog slave is really smooth-talking!
"In that case, do you think I should go to Ganquan Palace?"
Li Changsheng answered decisively: "You should go!"
"Well, give me a good reason. It can't be that just because the Queen misses me, I should go to Ganquan Palace to visit her, right?"
When asking this question, Ying Yue was looking at Li Changsheng with interest, quietly waiting for his answer.
Li Changsheng: "..."
You don't even have the diamond, so how can you make porcelain work by grinding tofu?
"Your Majesty, if the Queen is obsessed with you but receives no response, she will surely harbor resentment."
"By then, the entire Xiao family might misunderstand Your Majesty and become alienated from him!"
"Your Majesty, please put the country first and move to Ganquan Palace!"
Ying Yue: “…”
This dog slave is obviously just greedy for the queen's body.
He actually said it in such a high-sounding way, it's so hateful.
But she could do nothing about it.
After all, although she is the emperor of Dawu, her current situation is not optimistic.
It is no exaggeration to say that we are trembling with fear and walking on thin ice.
What's more, now is the time to use people.
And this bastard in front of me is a rare talent.
In time, he secured the throne.
The first thing is to turn this dog man in front of him into a real eunuch.
Let’s see if he dares to lust after the queen’s body like he is now, like a lustful devil.
In this way, Ying Yue took revenge on Li Changsheng fiercely in her heart.
Only then did he put his thoughts aside and waved his sleeves.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you to go to Ganquan Palace again on my behalf and comfort the Queen!"
When Li Changsheng saw that the empress agreed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
No matter what, he finally kept his promise to Concubine Xiao Yufei.
Thinking of the queen's pure and innocent body, he inexplicably felt his mouth dry and he couldn't help swallowing twice...
