The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 64 Are you willing? Are you willing?

"Your granddaughter is quite capable. I believe that even without me, she can lead you out of Mobei and start a new life. But do you really want to abandon your identity and live in anonymity for the rest of your life? Li Cong, are you willing? Are your clansmen and family willing?"

Li Cong smiled bitterly, "Why must your Highness be so aggressive?"

"I don't want to force you, but..." Chu Chenfeng looked out the window with a deep look in his eyes, and a little reluctant.

Li Cong didn't hear Chu Chenfeng's next words, so he didn't ask and sighed, "What exactly does the prince plan for my Li family?"

Chu Chenfeng turned and looked at him, his eyes showing no emotion, "The current court of Great Chu needs to be cleaned up, I want the Li family to return to the court."

"Become the sword in the prince's hand?"

Chu Chenfeng smiled, "Master Li is a scholar, but he can't make this knife."

"That is?"

"I will take care of the bloodshed in the court, and the rest will be up to Grand Tutor Li."

"Before you agree to my promise, I hope you can answer two questions of mine honestly."

"Excuse me."

"First, does Your Majesty really have no interest in the throne?"

“Hahahaha, Li Cong, ah Li Cong, you really are... After so many years, your brother is gone, but you are still devoted to him, even wanting to protect his children.”

Li Cong's expression remained unchanged, "Your Highness, just answer me."

Chu Chenfeng suddenly felt a little envious of his brother. Even though he had been gone for so many years, there was still someone like him who was willing to protect him and even his children. It was great... Unlike him, his brother was gone and he had no relatives at all.

Chu Chenfeng's face was full of disdain. "This prince has no interest, no like, and no desire. What's so good about being an emperor? Being trapped in that position for the rest of your life, being a lonely man? Haha, this prince doesn't like being bound, and is destined to have no chance of that position."

"Born in a royal family, you have no interest in the throne?" Li Cong smiled and shook his head, "Only the prince can do that."

“If I had a choice, I would not…” Being born in this royal family, he even hated it.

"The second question is about the death of the late emperor," Li Cong gritted his teeth, "I want to know." Li Cong believed in Chu Chenfeng, but if he wanted him to return to the court, there were many things he had to know clearly.

Chu Chenfeng looked at him meaningfully, "Do you doubt me?"

"Not yet."

Chu Chenfeng seemed to be recalling the past...

"Wind, Wind, this can't be true, can it?"

Chu Chenfeng, who was only seventeen years old, looked at the emperor, his father, with a gloomy face, "The evidence is in front of you, father, but you still don't believe it?"

"I..." Suddenly, the emperor spat out a mouthful of blood. The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall panicked and asked for the imperial physician.

Only Chu Chenfeng didn't move, just looked at the emperor coldly.

"It's... my fault. My Yu'er, my Yu'er... is gone. It was my suspicion that harmed him, harmed him."

"You are the one who harmed my brother. He was devoted to you and the people. The love between father and son for so many years could not be compared with your suspicion."

Upon hearing this, the emperor suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood and then passed out.

······

"Your Highness?" Li Cong was a little anxious, afraid that Chu Chenfeng had really done something he shouldn't have done.

"Hmph," Chu Chenfeng was a little unhappy, "Don't worry, he died of illness, I didn't do anything to him." If it were him, he would not let him die so easily, he would let him live well in this world and repent.

Li Cong breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, this brat.

Chu Chenfeng then met his gaze, "So now, should you tell me something? Who is it that is so afraid of you returning to the capital? What secrets are you hiding?"

Li Cong's eyes were a little cloudy, and he seemed to be thinking. Finally, he sighed, "Forget it. If I rely on this matter alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the answer even after I enter the coffin. I can only leave it to the prince."

Chu Chenfeng's expression remained unchanged, "I'd like to hear the details."

"The former prince did not hang himself."

As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Chu Chenfeng's face was a little scary, and he just stared at Li Cong. It's not that he didn't have doubts. His brother, who was so proud and so wise, didn't give up even after being imprisoned for more than three years. It's impossible that he would just... But he checked, even again and again, and all the evidence showed that it was indeed him...

"What evidence do you have?"

"I have no evidence."

"Then... why?" Chu Chenfeng's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was suppressing his emotions.

Li Cong told Chu Chenfeng everything that happened that year.

That year, after the incident happened, Li Cong tried every means to enter the Prince's Mansion and meet the former Crown Prince Chu Chenyu.

"Teacher, why are you here?" Chu Chenyu was obviously surprised by Li Cong's arrival. He didn't expect that the teacher, who was always upright and old-fashioned, would do such a thing. Seeing him dressed in the clothes of a servant and looking so anxious, the prince's expression became a little gentler.

"I am worried about you, Prince. What is going on? Why are people saying... saying..." You are forcing the emperor to abdicate, plotting a rebellion, and trying to poison him.

The prince's expression was gloomy and unclear, "Teacher believes it too?"

"Of course I don't believe it. So, Prince, what should we do now? The situation is very unfavorable to us."

Chu Chenyu patted Li Cong on the shoulder, "Teacher, don't worry. I have a plan in mind. I will take this opportunity to catch all the ghosts hiding in the dark, but..." Chu Chenyu looked at Li Cong with some guilt, "It may take a little longer."

"What did the prince find out? Who is trying to sow discord between you and the emperor?"

"Humph, who? Who else could it be? Apart from my good uncle, there would be no other person."

"Becoming a king?" Li Cong thought about it and didn't find it strange, but...

"More than that? How could Cheng Wang alone catch me off guard?"

Li Cong was shocked. "What the prince means is..."

"Someone close to me."

"There is a traitor? Prince, have you found out who it is?" Li Cong was shocked and counted all the people in their group, but still couldn't guess who it could be.

Chu Chenyu pursed his lips and did not continue, "Teacher, don't worry. I will handle this matter myself. It's just that I have implicated you this time..."

Li Cong shook his head. "What do you mean by implicate me?"

Not long after, the late emperor also made his decision on the Li family. All five clans were exiled to Mobei. It was really cruel. Before leaving, Li Cong did not have the chance to see the prince again. But he knew that the late prince might not be able to protect himself at that time, and he had to secretly investigate the whole matter. His situation might not be better than his.
