Qi Xingsheng sneered, "Women are the most vicious. This prince has witnessed it. It's a pity that Cui Li is strong. Your medicine hasn't disfigured her yet. Instead, it makes people's hearts tremble when they see that beauty, but they can't bear to desecrate her. If it weren't for the fear that she might get pregnant and have an accident, this emperor's woman..."
Qi Xingsheng didn't finish his words, but Yuan Qiuli understood what this man meant.
Her eyebrows were drooping, and her expression was somewhat disdainful. Isn't the dignified prince also a lecher? She also disdained that this man was still lying in her bed and coveting other women.
Wasn't she also pregnant for ten months? Wasn't this man also a pervert, seeking a momentary pleasure with her?
What? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll have an accident in her stomach now?
Yuan Qiuli suddenly didn't like this man as much, although she didn't really like him before.
Qi Xingsheng realized he had spoken out of turn. He coughed and said, "Don't worry, this prince naturally cares for you. But you don't have to worry. A woman's appearance needs to be maintained. It's normal for Cui Li to have suffered some damage to her appearance after being captured. Besides, all the women in this palace wear heavy makeup, and the emperor may not have seen the true face of his beloved concubine. Li Niang, don't underestimate yourself. Look, haven't you seduced this prince?"
Yuan Qiuli suddenly smiled. This prince's view was quite novel.
Not to mention the women in the palace, Yuan Qiuli herself was dressed up and did not show her bare face. I believe that what the emperor saw was most likely the Imperial Noble Consort dressed up. As for the Imperial Noble Consort's true appearance, how many people have seen it?
In that case, it's not impossible for her to imitate.
But Yuan Qiuli was still a little uneasy, fearing that the Emperor of Liang would find out that she was a fake and kill her with a sword.
It is said that the Emperor of Liang was known as the "King of War" and many rebels and Qi soldiers died under his sword. She did not want to become a lonely soul under his sword.
"It's a bit risky after all. If we're discovered, Li Niang's life will be in danger."
Seeing that the woman was about to back down, Qi Xingsheng threatened, "The arrow is on the string, and you cannot retreat. If you show any intention of retreating, not only will this prince be angry, but even His Majesty will not let you go. Only the dead will not leak the news."
After threatening you, he offered a lure: "Do you still want to be the most favored Imperial Consort? The Emperor of Liang loves Imperial Consorts the most. The Empress has long been out of favor and doesn't even leave the palace. When you give birth to a prince, the Emperor will definitely make you Empress and your son Crown Prince. Wouldn't you be tempted by the position of Empress of a country? You'll have the power of life and death, and endless wealth and splendor."
How could she not be moved? If she didn't have ambition, she wouldn't have willingly come to Liang State.
Yuan Qiuli's heart hardened, and she agreed: "What the prince said is right, it was Li Niang who was timid and afraid of trouble, and she retreated for a moment."
Qi Xingsheng was very pleased with the woman's obedience and gave her some advice: "Control your temper for the next few days and spend more time with Cui Li. I'll get more information out of her. You know some private matters that only Emperor Liang and she know. You can adapt to the situation when the time comes, and your identity shouldn't be exposed."
Yuan Qiuli echoed, "At worst, I can just pretend to have lost my memory. That's the safest way to avoid being exposed. As for the real Cui Li and Liang Sheng's heir, the Crown Prince should kill them as soon as possible to eliminate their roots."
"You want to kill Cui Li?"
"Of course, if she stays, she'll be a disaster. With her around, how can I truly replace her? As long as she's dead, even if Emperor Liang has doubts, he won't be able to confirm my authenticity if he can't find the real Cui Li."
Qi Xingsheng waved his hand and said, "We'll discuss this matter later. Keep her. This prince will have his own uses for her."
