Chapter 734: Concubine Li breaks her promise
King Nan Xiao did not believe it at first. After all, in his opinion, no woman could resist the temptation of the emperor and power.
However, Concubine Li did what she promised and did not let Emperor Jingyang touch her once.
King Nan Xiao did not like Concubine Li. He had always regarded her as a tool for his revenge.
Even if she doesn't like it, she will never allow other men to touch her, especially Emperor Jingyang.
He enjoyed the excitement of this immoral act in his heart, and also felt a sense of pleasure in taking revenge on Emperor Jingyang.
King Nan Xiao originally thought that when Luo Jingshen ascended the throne, he would put his arm around Concubine Li's waist in front of Emperor Jingyang, take Luo Jingshen with him, and tell him in person how he slept with his woman and how he made her help raise his son.
At that moment, he felt that it must be a day that Emperor Jingyang would never forget, and the other party's expression must have been very wonderful.
King Nan Xiao imagined everything to be perfect.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li couldn't resist the temptation and betrayed herself.
At this moment, he only felt a green patch on his bald head.
Thinking of this, King Nan Xiao became furious.
He instructed Ji Feng: "Write a letter to Jian Lan immediately and ask her to inform Concubine Li that I want to see her at the same place at noon tomorrow."
It was one thing that Concubine Li betrayed him, but it was also one thing that for some reason she fell in love with Emperor Jingyang.
Then, the grand plan that he had been planning for so long might fail because of Concubine Li.
If she accidentally let the secret slip while sleeping with Emperor Jingyang, they would all be finished.
Because of a woman, a plan that had been carefully planned for more than 20 years failed. This was very unprofitable for King Nan Xiao.
Therefore, he must meet her in person to test whether Concubine Li has feelings for Emperor Jingyang?
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will write a letter to Concubine Li right away."
After hearing King Nan Xiao's order, Ji Feng immediately went down to do the work.
They all confidently believed that after receiving the letter, Concubine Li would rush to Huayang Temple to meet King Nan Xiao.
After all, for the past twenty-three years, every time it was Concubine Li who took the initiative to write letters to Prince Nan Xiao, eagerly looking forward to him going to Huayang Temple to see her.
Well, this time is definitely no exception.
Maybe she has some unspeakable secret in her heart.
When Jianlan gave the letter to Concubine Li, she was nervous and her hands were shaking as she held the letter.
"Sure enough, Zhenglang still knows about this matter."
Although the letter did not mention what King Nan Xiao wanted her to go to Huayang Temple for, it did not mention what exactly it was about.
But Concubine Li guessed the reason as soon as she thought about it.
How could a man as proud as King Nan Xiao allow her to cheat on him?
Concubine Li didn't even need to think about it. If she went, the other party would definitely not give her a good face.
At this moment, she has not yet figured out how to face King Nan Xiao.
She cannot offend Emperor Jingyang, and she also cannot afford to offend King Nanxiao.
Luo Jingshen's life is still in the hands of Emperor Jingyang.
In addition to her love for King Nan Xiao, she also felt guilty and ashamed.
She firmly believed that King Nan Xiao loved her very much, and she was also very afraid of losing him.
Concubine Li knew that she was the one who made the mistake in this matter. No matter what the reason was, it was wrong.
For the first time, she realized that she was not as powerful as she thought.
How can you not get your shoes wet when you're wavering between two powerful men?
If she takes a wrong step, hell will be waiting for her.
Jianlan saw the anxiety on Concubine Li's face, and she asked in a low voice: "Madam Concubine Li, what should we do now? Are you going to Huayang Temple to meet King Nan Xiao tomorrow?"
"If you are going, I will report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs right now and ask them to prepare the incense for the incense burning."
Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Li would go to Huayang Temple to burn incense every month.
This has become a rule and everyone is used to it.
All her expenses for burning incense at Huayang Temple were borne by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she could be reimbursed there.
It was because Concubine Li once said something on Emperor Jingyang’s 30th birthday.
She said: "I went to Huayang Temple to burn incense, not to pray for myself, but for the health of the emperor."
"I hope that the emperor will be healthy and strong and have good luck; I hope that the country of Dongchen will have good weather and peace; I also hope that all the people under the emperor's rule will be respectful and love the emperor."
"But burning incense requires more than just sincerity. I also need to personally pray to the Buddha every month. Once the Buddha senses my sincerity, he will bless your majesty with good health and safety."
After hearing what Concubine Li said, Emperor Jingyang was very pleased.
He felt that Concubine Li was really thoughtful.
Emperors of all dynasties believed in some metaphysics to some extent.
He felt that the reason why he was in such good health and could have so many children was probably because Concubine Li went to the temple to pray for him every month.
Therefore, Emperor Jingyang waved his hand and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inform that all the expenses of Concubine Li's visit to Huayang Temple to burn incense every month, including travel expenses, would be reimbursed by the palace.
It is also for this reason that Concubine Li does not have to spend her own money every time she goes to see King Nan Xiao.
This also saved a lot of expenses.
Now that Jianlan mentioned this matter, Concubine Li refused without even thinking: "No, I can't go to Huayang Temple tomorrow."
"If I go to see Zhenglang at this time, there is a high probability that the baby in my belly will not be saved."
"And if this child is gone, then Emperor Jingyang will definitely have a problem with me. It will be difficult for me to plead for the prince in the future."
If it were in the past, if King Nan Xiao had said he wanted to see her, she would definitely be more excited than ever.
The night before, she would bathe, burn incense, take care of her skin, dress herself up beautifully, and then go to meet King Nan Xiao.
But now, Concubine Li is extremely rational.
Even if she said that she didn't like the child, she knew that the child was now her life-saving talisman.
As long as the baby is in her belly, Emperor Jingyang will be more doting and tolerant towards her.
But if the child is gone, then the other party's love for her will probably no longer exist.
Concubine Li also hoped to use the baby in her belly to rescue the crown prince from the Eastern Palace, and kill Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang at the same time.
So, after much thought, she felt that the advantages of keeping the child outweighed the disadvantages.
At this time, King Nan Xiao must still be angry. If I go to see him, he will most likely force me to abort the baby.
