Li Zhang has sharp eyes and his mind works very fast.
Li Yu came to this palace not only to clear away potential threats for Qin Feng, but also to "success" the mother and son.
The Virtuous Concubine did not wait for death, but actively sought death to serve the country with her own life.
The reason why Li Zhang was so sure was that except for these two women, there were no other eunuchs or maids in the palace.
Ordinarily, eunuchs and maids should stay with the concubines at this time, because these servants have lived with their masters for a long time and are already considered confidants. Even if they run away secretly, they will be caught soon and will be tortured.
Obviously, the concubine had dismissed all the servants in the palace in advance.
In addition, there is an inconspicuous piece of plain cloth stacked on the bed, which will be more "convenient" when the family comes to collect the body after the concubine dies.
The commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army is already dead. If the mother and son of De's concubine die again, the seeds of hatred will be completely planted. De's concubine's family will regard Qin Feng as a bloody enemy. By then, Beidi will want to restore peace. The situation is probably going to be even more difficult.
The reason why Li Zhang and Ning Hu kept staring at Li Yu was not to protect his safety.
As Qin Feng expected, this old boy Li Yu is dishonest!
If he really killed the concubine and his son, Qin Feng would naturally have to bear the blame. Anyway, Li Yu followed orders and would die for his country afterwards.
He was dead, and the chicken feathers left behind had to be sorted out by Qin Feng in the end.
Li Zhang winked and signaled Ning Hu to continue staring at Li Yu. He squatted down and sighed softly when he looked at De Bin, who was still full of fear in front of him.
"Actually, you don't want to die, right? Especially if you don't want to let go of this child."
"But for your father, you have to do something."
"I understand, I can completely understand your thoughts."
Speaking of this, Li Zhang reached out and touched the little prince's head, and said seriously: "But the child is not wrong. As a mother, can you really be so cruel as to lead him to death?"
After hearing Li Zhang's words, De Bin's originally frightened eyes became even brighter.
But even though she was afraid of being like this, she still chose to use her life to do something for the family, which is enough to prove the greatness of this woman.
Seeing that De's concubine remained silent, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "If I were you, I would not only choose to live, but also return to the clan, raise this child, and live a life that a normal person should have."
"If you insist on going your own way and add some stain to Lord Qin's plan, the result will be nothing more than the destruction of your entire family."
"With the current situation, even Li Yu, an old fox, has compromised. Do you think that without Ye Xiao's support and the full infiltration of Jinyiwei, your family can really cause some waves?"
Faced with Li Zhang's constant temptation, Debin finally spoke, and the moment she made her voice, tears also flowed down.
"Since Li Yu and Zhou Pu can surrender, why do you have to kill my father?"
Li Zhang explained earnestly: "As the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, it is naturally impossible for your father to take the lead in surrendering. Otherwise, your entire family will be stigmatized as a traitor, and future generations will be coldly suppressed by outsiders."
"My father must hold on until the last moment, and his death alone is enough. All subsequent sacrifices will become meaningless, and this is definitely not what your father wants to see."
"The ministers in the court have surrendered one after another, and even the King of Beidi and the royal family in the harem have become prisoners. It has come to this time. If you would rather die than surrender, what effect can it have besides adding to the bloodshed?"
The concubine subconsciously hugged the little prince tightly, her eyes confused.
After a long time, she finally spoke again: "Will you let us mother and son go?"
"This child is not only a royal heir, but also has the protection of our family. If he grows up in the future, he will still threaten Qin Feng."
Hearing this, Li Zhang couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha."
"Debin, your idea is too ridiculous."
"Threaten the Marquis of Qin? The Marquis of Qin is not from Beidi at all, so how can you threaten him?"
"If we really want to threaten, it is also a threat to the people of Beidi and the country."
"If one day, he grows up and waits for an opportunity to seize power under the coercion of the treacherous ministers and traitors, then the army of Beixi County only needs to repeat it once to turn Beidi into a desolate place. This is really what you Beidi people want. ?"
"This child is still young. What he will become when he grows up depends on his mother's teachings."
"If you want him to start a war, just keep instilling hatred in him."
"So, Concubine De, do you want this child to live a carefree life, or do you want this child to lick blood and risk his life?"
Facing Li Zhang's questioning, Debin couldn't help but fell silent.
Nowadays, the imperial power has been exhausted. As Li Zhang said, any resistance is in vain. Only by conforming to the general trend can the family continue.
The concubine couldn't help but sigh and finally gave in.
"I hope you can fulfill your promise and stop harming our family."
Li Zhang stood up directly and said solemnly: "You can rest assured about this. If Lord Qin really wanted to kill them all, I would not have appeared here at all. Li Yu had already killed you mother and son."
"The Marquis of Qin was worried that something like this would happen, so he sent me to follow him and monitor him."
"When the palace is taken over and all matters are investigated, you mother and son can leave the palace safely and return to the clan."
"Of course, Lord Qin has always been cautious. This child will be more or less monitored to a certain extent in the future. As long as he is devoted to good deeds and no longer gets involved in the vanity fair, his life will never be in danger."
The concubine nodded slightly, which was regarded as an agreement. She stopped thinking, pulled the little prince to stand up, silently turned back to the bed, and put away the plain cloth used to collect the body.
Li Zhang no longer delayed, turned around and left to meet Ning Hu.
On the way to leave, Li Zhang lamented in his heart that although the De concubines and their son could return to their clan, their family would only gradually become lonely in the future.
Not only the concubines, but also all the aristocratic families who were loyal to the Beidi King will be suppressed.
Although they won't go on a killing spree, it is inevitable to weaken their strength.
When Li Zhang found Ning Hu, Li Yu happened to be walking out of the palace in front of him with someone.
Feeling Li Zhang's strange gaze, Li Yu didn't explain. Anyway, it would be his turn in the end, so there was nothing to worry about.
"This palace will save trouble. The concubine has already died for the country."
Just when Li Yu was about to turn around and leave, Li Zhang grabbed his shoulder.
