The number one rebel of the Great Wu

As for Eunuch Sun, he had already conspired with Xiao Jingtian and Chen Changgeng.

Over here, Princess Li Suxin of the Great Yue Kingdom stepped forward on her own.

Xiao Jingtian was undoubtedly happy.

But you can't show it on your face.

He immediately frowned and questioned her sternly.

"Nonsense! If you are Princess Li Suxin of the Great Yue Kingdom, then who is Consort Li?"

Li Suxin bowed slightly.

"Consort Li was originally a palace maid serving Su Xin."

"Su Xin believes she is not good-looking, and if she were to marry into the Great Wu Kingdom, it might displease His Majesty."

"This led to their anger towards my Great Yue Kingdom, so they had no choice but to have Su Xin's palace maid temporarily impersonate her."

"Since Su Xin is going to marry the Emperor of the Great Wu Kingdom, then whether Your Majesty finds out or not, Su Xin should dedicate her life to the Great Yue Kingdom and the Wu Dynasty."

"But I am a palace maid who is naturally timid and not good at socializing. I never expected that I would anger the emperor time and time again."

"Su Xin is willing to take responsibility for this matter alone."

"I, a palace maid, committed this offensive act only because Su Xin forced me to. She is truly innocent."

"I hope Your Majesty will spare her life, considering our past intimacy."

"Furthermore, most of the money Your Majesty has given to the palace over the years has been kept by Su Xin."

"Now, there are already several thousand taels of silver."

"I hope Your Majesty can give this money to my palace maid so that she can return to my Great Yue Kingdom and live a peaceful life."

These words stunned not only Xiao Jingtian, but even Chen Changgeng.

Unexpectedly, Li Suxin not only arranged everything perfectly, but also made arrangements for the unfortunate palace maid's escape route.

Upon hearing these words, the aunt's face turned deathly pale.

Clearly, she already knew about this, but she couldn't say it outright.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Suxin approached.

She raised her hand to undo the bun on her head.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.

He lowered his head and remained silent, his hair disheveled.

In the Great Yue Kingdom, this is a symbol of a sinner.

It is clear that Li Suxin was truly determined to die in place of this palace maid.

Upon seeing this, Consort Li was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed forward to grab Li Suxin's arm.

Then he started kowtowing to Xiao Jingtian, babbling something that Xiao Jingtian couldn't understand at all.

He saw only his once beloved Consort Li now kneeling before him, her head bleeding profusely.

Li Suxin, on the other hand, was determined to die.

"Quickly, grab them!"

Just as Xiao Jingtian's expression changed repeatedly, unable to make a decision, Chen Changgeng stepped forward and shouted.

"You two are quite something, one loyal, the other fierce."

"Are you trying to force the Emperor to become a bad person?"

While angrily rebuking him, Chen Changgeng winked at Xiao Jingtian.

Li Suxin was indeed a bit ugly.

But it wasn't to the point where I couldn't bring myself to eat it.

Anyway, once the lights are out and clothes are off at night, isn't it all the same?

Moreover, how many women in the harem are as pure and natural as Li Suxin, like a piece of uncut jade?

"alright!"

Xiao Jingtian finally opened his mouth, and his words were as powerful as thunder.

"I already understand this matter."

"From this day forward, this matter need not be mentioned again."

"You are Consort Li. Now that you have entered the Xiao family and are officially registered, you have informed your ancestors."

"Then nothing needs to be changed!"

"As for you, as long as you are willing to give up your name and identity, I can make an exception for you."

"We will neither hold your crimes against you nor make things difficult for the Great Yue Kingdom."

Li Suxin's heart trembled, and she looked up at Xiao Jingtian with disbelief.

"Your Majesty... are you telling the truth?"

Li Suxin knew she wasn't good-looking, let alone committing any crimes.

Even if you don't commit any crimes, you might still offend the emperor and be beheaded at any time.

Who would have thought that one day the Emperor would show such leniency?

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, and besides, my words are law; how could they be false!"

"However, if you want to thank someone, you should thank him."

"It was he who awakened me."

Xiao Jingtian turned to look at Chen Changgeng, secretly feeling quite pleased with himself.

By doing this, Chen Changgeng not only preserved the royal family's reputation but also secured the affections of his beloved Consort Li. In the end, he also managed to find a hidden gem.

Li Suxin's temperament is far superior to that of the current Empress in the harem.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to make her the fourth empress in the future!

Li Suxin stared blankly at Chen Changgeng.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Changgeng simply took a step back and pointed to the ten taels of silver on the table.

Then he arrived with a grin.

"Ten taels of silver for two lives, isn't that a good deal?"

"Actually, there's no need to thank anyone for this. It's a reward you two, master and servant, deserve for your kindness."

After Chen Changgeng finished speaking, his aunt translated everything that had happened to Li Fei.

After so many years, the heavy weight that had been pressing on Consort Li's heart has finally been lifted.

She was finally able to face the Emperor as her own.

Xiao Jingtian doted on her so much, how could she not have any feelings for him?

In the past, I was only limited by my status, afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing, which led me to make one mistake after another.

At that moment, Consort Li was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

He stood up and charged at Xiao Jingtian.

Before anyone around could react, Consort Li had already rushed into Xiao Jingtian's arms.

She clung tightly to Xiao Jingtian, wailing loudly.

She cried while saying thank you.

However, Chen Changgeng could understand this sentence, but Xiao Jingtian could not.

"Your Majesty, she said thank you."

Chen Changgeng saw Xiao Jingtian awkwardly embracing his former favorite concubine, Li Fei.

For a moment, they were both delighted and surprised.

This was the first time he had felt that the woman he cherished was so close to him.

"Nonsense, really."

"There's absolutely no sense of discipline!"

Xiao Jingtian lowered his voice and scolded her, then raised his hand and patted Li Fei on the back.

Consort Li panicked and realized that she had done something wrong.

He quickly loosened his embrace, stepped back, knelt on the ground, lowered his head, blushed, and dared not say another word.

Xiao Jingtian is the father of so many children, how could he not understand what's going on?

What just happened proves that Consort Li has always favored him.

"Good, very good, I am very pleased today!"

Xiao Jingtian turned his head to look at Chen Changgeng with satisfaction.

"As for you, Su Xin, you will be renamed Yu Xin from now on, since it was Chen Changgeng who saved you."

"I will give you the surname Chen, Chen Yuxin!"

"From this moment forward, you shall resign from your position as a palace maid. I hereby bestow upon you the title of Lady and grant you the Chang Le Palace."

"Consort Li, you should return to the palace first. I will be there shortly."

Under these circumstances, Xiao Jingtian's inner flame naturally began to burn.

After instructing Eunuch Sun to take the two men to handle official business, Xiao Jingtian turned his gaze to Chen Changgeng.

"I knew it, you're full of clever ideas."

"Only you could come up with such a win-win solution."

"Rest assured, my word is law, and what I promise you will not be shortchanged."

"Come with me to the main storeroom and let's pick out some things."

Xiao Jingtian patted his clothes, stood up first, and strode out.
