After listening to what Emperor Qing said, Li Yunrui was at a loss.
At this moment, Emperor Qing's brows furrowed, and he said coldly:
"Li Yunrui, have I been too lenient with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yunrui was frightened and retorted:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
"May I ask where Your Majesty has heard such rumors?"
"Someone must be deliberately trying to slander my sister. I hope Your Majesty will see the truth!"
Seeing Li Yunrui feign ignorance, Emperor Qing smiled coldly and said:
"It was Chen Qingfeng who told me this himself."
Do you think I have wronged you, or that Chen Qingfeng is deliberately framing you?
"If I want to investigate this matter thoroughly, do you think I can get to the bottom of it?"
Emperor Qing stared intently at Li Yunrui with sharp eyes, not even blinking.
Under Emperor Qing's gaze, Li Yunrui knew that if Emperor Qing really wanted to investigate this matter, he would eventually find out the whole truth.
There's no point in her continuing to pretend.
After a moment's thought, the fear on Li Yunrui's face suddenly vanished.
Then, she curled her lips into a slight smile and let out a cold laugh.
The next moment, Li Yunrui stood up from the ground and said:
"That's right!"
"I seduced Chen Qingfeng."
"But so what?"
"Isn't my sister just trying to expose his true colors and share my brother's burdens?"
"Your Majesty, don't forget the truth about the Taiping Villa massacre back then."
"This Chen Qingfeng is the Emperor's son, so why don't you acknowledge him?"
"Since Your Majesty says that I am lowly, then I am lowly, so what?"
Li Yunrui stared directly at Emperor Qing, his eyes no longer filled with the fear of before, but instead with a hint of madness.
After hearing what Li Yunrui said, Emperor Qing was filled with raging anger.
He and Li Yunrui are half-siblings.
We've lived together since we were little.
To Emperor Qing's surprise, his affair with Ye Qingmei back then had caused Li Yunrui a tremendous blow, changing him completely.
Now, they're doing something even more outrageous.
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Qing forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke in a cold voice:
"As the eldest princess, one should act like an eldest princess."
"This is the first and last time."
"If I find out you've done anything outrageous again, don't blame me for disregarding our sibling relationship!"
"Get out of here!!"
Having said that, Emperor Qing waved his hand.
"Hahaha!"
After hearing what Emperor Qing said, Li Yunrui suddenly burst into laughter:
"Sibling affection?"
"How... ridiculous!"
This is exactly what Li Yunrui least wants to hear.
In her heart, she always regarded Emperor Qing as her beloved, but unfortunately, she could not have him.
Laughing, Li Yunrui bowed deeply to Emperor Qing:
"Your Majesty, I take my leave!"
Then, Li Yunrui didn't linger and got up to leave.
As Emperor Qing watched Li Yunrui's retreating figure, his heart burned with rage.
If it were anyone else, he would have slapped them to death long ago.
But Emperor Qing was somewhat helpless.
After all, Li Yunrui is his half-sister.
Of course, that's not the key point. Throughout history, the imperial family has always been the most ruthless!
As a member of the royal family, Li Yunrui was already caught in a merciless vortex.
The reason why Emperor Qing could still tolerate her so much was because...
Firstly, it was to save face for the royal family.
After all, if word got out that Li Yunrui had seduced Chen Qingfeng, it would bring shame to the royal family.
Secondly, keeping Li Yunrui around would still be useful to Emperor Qing.
In Emperor Qing's eyes, everyone was a pawn, and Princess Li Yunrui was no exception.
As for blood ties, they meant absolutely nothing to Emperor Qing.
To solidify his imperial power, he even had the heart to murder his beloved Ye Qingmei, let alone Li Yunrui?
Chapter 60: Chen Qingfeng VS Hong Sixiang! Barrett Key! Li Yunrui's Desire to Conquer!
Soon, Li Yunrui returned to Guangxin Palace.
She stood alone within the heavy white gauze curtains, her thoughts wandering, her eyes filled with sorrow!
Looking back on her journey, Li Yunrui couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.
Back then, her love for Emperor Qing was so pure.
She even went so far as to ignore Emperor Qing's unconscious indifference towards her.
Li Yunrui originally thought she would win Emperor Qing's favor, even though he had countless women and his heart already belonged to the beautiful Ye Qingmei.
But Emperor Qing's indifference towards her was like a sharp blade.
It pierced her heart again and again.
She naturally hated Ye Qingmei, and it was a deep, visceral hatred.
She couldn't bear the thought of not being appreciated.
But she saw a dead woman standing in the heart of the man she loved most.
Ye Qingmei was an extremely perfect person.
His name has long been etched into the entire power structure.
She wanted to defeat Ye Qingmei, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not gain a place in Emperor Qing's heart.
"Our Emperor is... truly heartless towards me!"
As he pondered, Li Yunrui let out a long sigh, his expression turning sorrowful.
Although Ye Qingmei had been dead for more than ten years, the hatred she felt for Ye Qingmei had not diminished in the slightest.
In Li Yunrui's view, many things would have been different if Ye Qingmei had not appeared.
"So that's how he saw it."
“From beginning to end, I have only played the role of a royal sister.”
"Brotherly and sisterly affection?"
"call……"
At this point, Li Yunrui took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh:
"How ironic!"
Then, Li Yunrui thought of Chen Qingfeng, and a charming smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"This Chen Qingfeng is really incredibly audacious."
"They even dared to tell His Majesty about how I seduced him."
"He doesn't think he can drag me down with him like this, does he?"
"Our Emperor values imperial power above all else, so how could he easily allow the royal family to be disgraced?"
Li Yunrui gave a cold laugh.
The reason she dared to blatantly seduce Chen Qingfeng was...
They grasped this very point about Emperor Qing.
For Emperor Qing, nothing was more important than imperial power.
That's why Emperor Qing felt so uneasy and wary when he sensed Ye Qingmei's threat back then.
Finally, after much planning, the Taiping Villa tragedy occurred.
"Chen Qingfeng."
"Your actions have truly surprised me!"
"The Northern Qi delegation is about to enter the capital."
"Since you like to play, then I'll play with you for a while."
"When the time comes, I will definitely make you my devoted subject."
At this point, Li Yunrui couldn't help but start imagining things.
