"You've already killed everyone in my yard. What else is there to say? I came to you to tell you that everything was planned by me. My family has nothing to do with it. I can drink this cup of poison in front of you, and I also hope to hear your promise that this matter will end here."
Aunt Fan was also a powerful figure, pointing to a wine glass on the table. Li Xiang snorted coldly. This kind of drama was a bit too much. Now that you have done such a thing, do you think anyone would believe you? Your family must have played a very important role. If you die and this matter is overturned, it would be really ridiculous.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? It's as if I've forced you to death. I just found out something, so I plan to continue investigating. Auntie and I both live in the Eastern Palace. Since you've married my father, we have a community of interests. If someone is targeting us in the Eastern Palace, then we should be united against the enemy. Do you think I'm right?"
Li Xiang had a smile on his face, but Aunt Fan felt cold all over. How could such a young child say such words? And he said it so naturally. If Aunt Fan had known Li Xiang was like this, she probably would never have done these things, because this was simply courting death.
"Your Highness, are you really unwilling to spare my family?"
Aunt Fan still refused to give up. She moved her hand closer to the cup of poisoned wine, as if she was ready to drink it at any time.
"What you said doesn't make sense, Auntie. I've never met your family, so how can I ask for forgiveness? Besides, I'm only investigating some of our own family's affairs. Does the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace have anything to do with your family? If there is a connection, Auntie, why not tell me directly? Then maybe I can spare their lives."
Li Xiang continued to pretend to be confused. Now people outside were already investigating. It would probably take only a day or two to find out everything that needed to be found out. The Nanyang Fan family might not be able to hold on for much longer. Li Xiang had no grudges or hatred with them in the past or present, but if you take action in advance, don't blame me for being ruthless. In this day and age, you can't survive without being ruthless.
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go. Neither will your father."
When Aunt Fan saw Li Xiang's reaction, she knew that it was useless to continue talking, so she suddenly prepared to drink the poisoned wine on the table. According to Aunt Fan's original idea, Li Xiang should be afraid that he would not be able to explain to Li Chengqian, so he would definitely stop Aunt Fan from drinking the poisoned wine, but she didn't expect that Li Xiang was standing right next to her, with no intention of stopping her at all.
Aunt Fan was a little embarrassed at this time. She had said all the harsh words she should have said before she died. The most important thing now was to hurry up and set off. However, Aunt Fan looked at Li Xiang in disbelief. She couldn't drink the poisoned wine in her hand no matter what. People are very scared at this time.
"Auntie, don't you want to drink? Otherwise, I'll step back a little. Is it because I'm too close to you that you can't drink? Then why don't I go outside?"
Li Xiang said sarcastically, "I've seen you're a coward. If you really wanted to die, would you have called us here? When your men were taken away just now, you should have known you were exposed. There was no one else in your yard at that time. If you really wanted to die, what kind of death would you not be able to achieve? Do you still need to continue your performance here?"
Even if you were to perform, your acting skills are really not up to par. In your situation, you can't even get a supporting actress role.
Aunt Fan was full of regret at this time. She had originally wanted to retreat in order to advance, using this cup of poisoned wine to force Li Xiang to say something soft, or to release her family members. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang was not fooled at all. As for explaining this matter to Li Chengqian, that was nonsense.
If Li Xiang was really afraid of Li Chengqian, how could he have dared to kill the people in Concubine Fan's courtyard? For a man like Li Xiang, killing a few servants is indeed no problem, but can you take the people in your concubine's courtyard? After all, she is still your elder. Without her consent, you killed everyone in her courtyard. In that case, do you still have the respect for elders?
Now Li Xiang killed everyone in your yard without any permission or warning. This means that no one in the Eastern Palace can interfere with Li Xiang's actions. Aunt Fan is counting on Li Xiang not being able to give an explanation to Li Chengqian, but this is impossible.
"Don't go too far. Do you think you've completely won now? Maybe you won't find anything, and you'll just trap me for the rest of my life."
Aunt Fan said with a sneer, her hand already leaving the cup on the table.
"Auntie may not understand my way of doing things. I am different from others. You are of no use to me now. If that is the case, why don't I help you and let you hurry up and get on your way."
When Li Xiang said this, he winked at the people around him. The guards began to use their eyes to hint to the eunuchs and palace maids around them, saying that if you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better find a place to hide first. If you want to cause trouble, then continue to stand here, but what you see later may cost you your life.
"How dare you! I'm also the Crown Prince's concubine in the Eastern Palace. What right do you have to send me off?"
Aunt Fan never thought that Li Xiang could do such a thing. She knew that Li Xiang was bold, but she didn't expect him to be so bold that he even dared to kill your father's concubine.
"Who said I sent you on your way? It was obviously you who wanted to go on your own."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he walked out. Aunt Fan didn't understand what he meant and yelled at Li Xiang to stay.
When Xiao Xia Zi saw Li Xiang, Aunt Fan was still shouting. Everyone in the East Palace knew by now that our prince had nothing to do with Aunt Fan's death. After all, our prince had already walked outside. There were still people shouting inside, but the shouting was getting smaller and smaller. It seemed that he had been fed poisoned wine and he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Do you know how to report it?"
The honor guard outside is ready, and no matter how big the matter is, it cannot delay Li Xiang from picking up his wife.
