The villain empress's personal favorite

"That Ye Xuan is a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and a few days ago he broke into the Hou Mansion and tried to assassinate me, and now you are colluding with him again and trying to frame me, what crime should you be guilty of!"

Chen Ming's words were sharp and his expression was fierce, and with the dim lights in the secret room, he looked particularly scary.

Li Zishuang was frightened.

Her left cheek hurt hotly, she really didn't expect Chen Ming to be so rough.

As the proud daughter of the sky, the only daughter of Taichang Siqing, she enjoys a good reputation in the capital, and there is an endless stream of suitors, and those people are all careful about her, for fear of annoying her, how can anyone treat her so roughly.

Li Zishuang felt extremely aggrieved by the collusion felons accused by Chen Ming.

"I really don't, I don't know anything ......".

She defended herself weakly, her voice filled with helplessness.

She really didn't know anything about the incident in the Marquis Wushun Mansion, which was all manipulated by Ye Xuan behind her back. The people in the Yuanhou Mansion were all given gag orders, and Ye Xuan never revealed half a point to her.

The crime of murdering Hou Ye is so serious, even if she is noble, it is difficult to bear, let alone her father.

"Ye Xuan destroyed my mansion and almost killed me, how can you stay out of it without knowing a word!".

Chen Ming's words were sonorous and powerful.

However, in fact, it was he who set a trap to hit Ye Xuan hard, but now he is beating him upside down and pretending to be a victim.

Li Zishuang, who did not know the truth, was confused by his words.

"I, I ......" she said, not knowing how to defend herself.

Do you want to say that Ye Xuan has nothing to do with this matter?

But Ye Xuan was brought into the auction by her after all.

Looking at Li Zishuang's speechless appearance, Chen Ming gently stretched out his palm.

Li Zishuang closed her eyes tightly when she saw this, but the expected slap did not fall.

Chen Ming's hand gently stroked her red and swollen cheeks.

"Does it still hurt?".

Li Zishuang was in a trance, and Chen Ming's actions made her scratch her head.

But for some reason, the anger and fear in my heart dissipated a lot at this moment.

"Tell me everything you know about Ye Xuan. "

Chen Ming's tone was so soft that he seemed to treat his lover.

"Otherwise...... I would suspect that Lord Taijo Siqing was in collusion with the court felons. "

"You don't want your father to lose his official position, do you!".

Chen Ming said the last few words very seriously, for fear that Li Zishuang would not hear clearly.

In fact, this kind of thing without conclusive evidence is not enough to bring down a Taichang Siqing.

But it will definitely have a bad impact on Li Dequan's career.

You must know that the Li family is not a family with deep roots, although it is somewhat related to the Shen family, but it is not a member of the Shen family after all. Li Dequan's ability to sit in the position of Taichang Siqing is also because of the appreciation of the first emperor.

“...... I said!".

Between his father and Ye Xuan, Li Zishuang made a choice.

The relationship between her and Ye Xuan is not deep enough, just out of friendship for her childhood sweetheart.

The relationship between the hero and heroine often needs to be tempered by events again and again before they can become indestructible.

However, with Chen Ming here, they obviously don't have such an opportunity.

When concealing Ye Xuan's affairs might threaten his father, Li Zishuang made a decision without hesitation.

What's more, it was Ye Xuan who hid it from her first.

Seeing the villain's value rising, Chen Ming showed a satisfied smile. "It seems that Miss Li is an understanding person, and she will not be in the same league as the imperial court. "

He didn't care about Ye Xuan's news, and Li Zishuang didn't necessarily know as much about Ye Xuan as he did.

But letting Li Zishuang reveal Ye Xuan's news to him, Ye Xuan's enemy, is tantamount to betrayal.

Before, it was just a unilateral misunderstanding by Ye Xuan, but after that, the situation was different.

And the betrayal of the heroine means the break between the hero and heroine.

Not to mention that Li Zishuang is still such an important role.

"Can I go?".

After explaining all the information she knew about Ye Xuan, Li Zishuang couldn't wait to say.

She didn't want to stay in this gloomy place for a moment.

She was relieved when she walked out of the secret room and saw the sunlight outside, while the old servant was anxiously waiting outside the Hou Mansion.

As soon as he saw Li Zishuang come out, he immediately greeted him with concern.

"Miss, are you alright? "

"I'm fine. "

Li Zishuang lightly touched her cheek, and the redness and swelling had subsided in the flow of mana.

However, the hot feeling seems to be imprinted in the heart and lingers.

It was the first time in her life that she had been treated like this.

Unexpectedly, she didn't have much hatred for Chen Ming in her heart.

On the contrary, for Ye Xuan, in addition to feeling a trace of guilt, she was more indescribably indignant.

Ye Xuan dared to come to her after acting without authorization, and he didn't even say hello in advance, isn't this obviously pushing her into danger?

If it weren't for Ye Xuan, how could she be in such a situation.

......

In the secret room, Ye Li'er next door walked out.

She quickly pounced on Chen Ming, buried her head deep in his shoulder, and absorbed the breath from his body as if she were fascinated.

"Brother, are you going to let her go like this?".

After washing away her memory, Ye Li'er saw Chen Ming at first sight, and naturally regarded him as the closest person.
