Chapter 505: The Woman Who Wronged the Country
Liu Yu said that Li Wanqian had to be willing if he didn't want to. He knew who was more important than just a woman.
"Why don't you help me up quickly and send it into the room?" Li Wanqian's face looked silly, which was somewhat similar to Chai Jin's smile, but Chai Jin's smile was not as obscene as him. No matter what Chai Jin said, he would not push his woman into someone else's arms.
Liu Yu bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your kind hospitality."
After saying that, Liu Yu seemed very rude and led the guards to the guest room in the next yard with the maid and Cao Yi.
After entering the room, Cao Yi was helped by the maids and sat on the bed, but she couldn't sit still. When she saw Liu Yu entering the door, she stood up and wanted to escape, but the door was already guarded by the guards. Liu Yu waved his hands to the two maids and said, "Go out."
The two maids withdrew with timidly, and Cao Yi immediately fell to the ground, kowtowed to Liu Yu, and shouted to spare his life.
"I won't kill you for the time being, so there is no need to worry. I just want to ask you a few questions."
Cao Yi knelt on the ground and sobbed, just like the little jasper, and his voice trembled a little, "The general asked me, I dare not hide it."
"Okay, as long as you don't hide it, I won't make things difficult for you." Liu Yu sat on the chair in front of the table and asked Cao Yi, "Is there any connection between you and the King of Chu?"
Hearing the name "King of Chu", Cao Yi shrank back, and Liu Yu could also sense her fear.
"When I go back to the general, I have indeed been told by the King of Chu to come to the emperor as a witness and provoke the relationship between the emperor and the general... I am just used by others, so I want the general to be physically accompanied!" As he said that, Cao Yi kowtowed again and begged for mercy.
This is the first time that Liu Yu has confirmed from others that the King of Chu is not dead, and he is still using his means to plan a court. Since the King of Chu disappeared, he has been a big trouble in Liu Yu. But this big trouble in his heart is well hidden. Until now, Liu Yu still cannot find out his whereabouts.
Regarding Cao Yi's appearance at Li Wanqian's Mansion in Huaixi County, Liu Yu also doubted at the beginning whether this was a situation. The King of Chu used Cao Yi's beauty and the heart of a snake and scorpion to sneak into Li Wanqian's mansion and took the opportunity to seize Li Wanqian's wealth and prepare for the restoration of the King of Chu. This is also the only explanation for the conspiracy among them. After all, Li Wanqian does not have status and reputation, and all he has is wealth, which is what Liu Yu wants. The King of Chu cannot not covet.
Liu Yu was not in a hurry to make a conclusion. Judging from Cao Yi's miserable situation now, it was basically unlikely that Liu Yu would expect. Even if the King of Chu was still alive, he would not come to Huaixi County to spend so much effort to steal one Li Wanqian unless he had made arrangements and was ready to steal countless Li Wanqian.
"Then let's talk about how you contact the King of Chu and how he communicates with you one by one."
Cao Yi said: "At the time when the Cao family was provoked by a traitor, the family was searched by the emperor, and the father and brother were imprisoned. The slave family and sister-in-law were dismissed and sent to slaves. At that time, the King of Chu sent someone to inform his father and brother who were still in prison. He also asked his father and brother to bring a message to the slave family, and let the servant listen to the order of the King of Chu, saying that this was the case, and the servant could enter the palace, and the Cao family was revived...."
Liu Yu first thought about the logic of this matter.
What Cao Yi said can only be said to be basically in line with the facts that Liu Yu speculated, and it is very general. But this also shows that there are still people in the court who are used by the King of Chu, which can allow the King of Chu to convey information so easily. At that time, Liu Yu's intelligence system was paralyzed, and the person used by the King of Chu was probably Yang Lie, one of Liu Yu's left and right leaders of the Imperial Army, who was responsible for the Liu Yu's intelligence system. Later, Yang Lie disappeared without finding him, which became a unsolved case.
"Then how did you contact me? Have you met the King of Chu himself?"
Cao Yi shook his head and said, "I have never seen the King of Chu, and I don't even know where he is. However, there are people in the city who pass on news for the slave family and inquire about the slave family. Although the slave family is a puppet, those people are willing to use it for the slave family. As long as the slave family wants to know what, they will find out clearly for the slave family. Even if they are not clear, they will investigate the direction and make the slave know what they know."
A chess piece is manipulating another pile of chess pieces, and the King of Chu is considered to be a hiring person.
"With your intelligence and caution, you have never tried to check the whereabouts of the King of Chu? I don't think you are willing to be a puppet used by others and not resist, right?"
Cao Yi nodded and said, "I did have such an idea, but... I have no other people except those people. When I was in the Jiaofang, they used officials to send messages and calls, but I dared not disobey it. After entering the palace, they sent eunuchs and palace maids to send messages. They were different people every time. I was also worried that they would settle the accounts after the autumn. I thought about helping Your Majesty eliminate the power of the King of Chu at the same time after completing their instructions, but the general had not yet made it happen, so the general..."
Liu Yu knows it.
Cao Yi is indeed planning for herself, and what she said is reasonable.
The King of Chu and her were just using the relationship of being exploited. After all, she and Su Yan were husband and wife. Su Yan trusted her very much and regarded her as her own. Therefore, Cao Yi was also prone to dependent on Su Yan. That is, after completing the task of the King of Chu, that is, after eliminating him, Liu Wenyan, he would help Su Yan eliminate the power of the King of Chu at the same time, so that she would have no obstacles to becoming a mother of the country in the future. After all, the queen Sun Xiaoyu was not a hindrance at all.
The most toxic woman's heart is that women usually live only for themselves and her husband. The result of using women is likely to be the last bite.
"When you and I met in the Jiaofang, the King of Chu had sent someone to contact you?"
"Um."
Liu Yu sneered: "It's a pity that I saw you feeling pitiful at that time. I didn't kill you with one sword, so that the disaster would be left behind. After that, how did you escape from the palace and come here?"
Cao Yi said with a sad face: "I put on makeup and became a palace maid that day and escaped from the palace gate. Later, there were officers and soldiers and yamen who took people, so I hid on a cargo ship in the canal to escape from the pursuit. I originally wanted to contact the King of Chu again and asked them to help me leave Chang'an City, but I had already cut off the contact. I was expected to escape from Chang'an City after the martial law in the city gate was lifted, but the martial law was brought in and I was forced to be unable to do so. The family had to find someone to ask for food from them. Later, they put medicine in the food, immersed me, and took me out of Chang'an City, and sold it to Mr. Li of the Li Mansion as a concubine. I originally thought that I would spend this life like this, but who knew... I could not escape the general's arrest..."
Cao Yi thought Liu Yu came to hunt her down, but in fact, Liu Yu met at Li Wanqian's mansion only by chance.
Cao Yi begged for mercy again and said, "I have told the truth, I beg the general to spare my life. I really don't want to die... I don't want to die... Woo woo..."
Liu Yu was a little upset when he heard the crying. If it weren't for this woman with a scorpion-hearted heart, how could he have been incompatible with Su Yan later? Although Yuan Bolang and Su Bi were jealous of Liu Yu, they also knew that Liu Yu was not easy to mess with. Therefore, the measures taken against Liu Yu were to isolate Liu Yu and Su Yan's connection. The fatal blow to the breakdown of Liu Yu's relationship with Su Yan was also the result of Cao Yi.
Of course, if Liu Yu and Su Yan had not had the opposite relationship, Cao Yi's appearance would have nothing to do. Liu Yu also understood this point that he and Su Yan were incompatible with each other, which was the final result of the incompatibility between emperors and powerful ministers.
"You know what happened to him?"
Cao Yi cried very sadly, and she stopped crying when she heard the sound. She looked at Liu Yu with tears in her face, looking puzzled.
"I mean, the former emperor, and the current Southern King."
Cao Yi sobbed and said, "I have heard that the general did not kill the emperor after he succeeded, and he also appointed him as the King of Southern. After that, I was sold to Chang'an City and no longer received any news."
Liu Yu sneered. He was originally going to inform Yu Caoyi of Su Yanmeng's misfortune, but it didn't matter whether he said this or not. Even if Su Yan was alive, Liu Yu was not going to send this woman back to Su Yan. Liu Yu would not make the same mistake again.
The sneer on Liu Yu's face dissipated, and then his smile became a little cold and even a little cunning.
"Mrs. Li, you should do some serious business now. I am tired from the journey and want to have a good rest."
Cao Yi was just sobbing. When she heard Liu Yu's name and what Liu Yu said later, even the unintentional girl knew what Liu Yu was going to do, not to mention that she was a smart woman.
Liu Yu called her "Madam Li". Although she was praised, she was not the "Madam" of the Li family, but the implication was that she denied that she was Su Yan's concubine. Since she was "Madam Li", Li Wanqian asked her to spend the night with Liu Yu recently, and this is why Liu Yu said "mastery".
"I am not clean and dare not serve the general." Cao Yi seemed to be afraid of Liu Yu in his words, and there was a bit of alienation in his awe.
Liu Yu would not let her go. Today, Liu Yu came easily and was about to go back to accompany her woman after she made money after she was doing business. When she saw Cao Yi, she felt so angry that she felt that she felt so angry when she thought of this woman's viciousness.
"Why is Mrs. Li preparing to toast and not to eat the punishment?"
"Slave...I dare not..."
Cao Yi slowly stood up on the edge of the bed. Just as she was about to sit on the edge of the bed, Liu Yu pointed to the table and said, "I don't have much time today, so let's get things done here."
Cao Yi was embarrassed and inferior, and at the same time she felt a little helpless. It would be fine if her former concubine was ruined by a meat ball, after all, there was no marriage between her and Li Wanqian. However, Liu Yu was the culprit who ruined her life. If it weren't for Liu Yu's obstruction that day, she would have become Su Yan's concubine, and the Cao family would not have fallen. After that, she finally got the help of the King of Chu and re-entered the palace and got Su Yan's favor. Liu Yu not only forced her to treat her as a concubine, but also made her wander around like a dog of a despair. Even so, Liu Yu did not let her go.
Cao Yi's tears that had already stopped fell down immediately. Cao Yi's face was a little sad, but also a little shy as a little woman, walked over to the table, reached out and untied the belt of the outer robe. The wide outer robe that Chunri was wearing slipped off. Then she untied the mid-lane, but she did not take it off. She stepped on the stool and climbed onto the table, and said softly, "Please be pity for the general."
