Chapter 658: Meeting a Good Person (Part )
Just as Qiu Qianyun was sitting in front of the window in a daze, a palace maid came in from outside, "Reporting to the Queen, Concubine Rou wants to see you."

Qiu Qianyun's personal maid scolded: "Where did Concubine Rou come from? Can't you see that the Concubine is busy? Let her go."

The maid said in embarrassment: "But she has already broken in and is sitting in the front hall."

"This is too much," the maidservant said, getting angry. "I will chase her away right now."

"No need." Qiu Qianyun said calmly, "We will meet sooner or later."

The maid said with some concern: "My lady, should I ask someone to inform His Majesty?"

Qiu Qianyun glanced at her and said, "Tell your Majesty what to do? I can handle it."

Besides, she didn't want to see Li Rui now.

Qin Rou sat alone in the main hall, with her two palace maids standing beside her.

Although she had always lived in the palace and sat next to Li Mu at every palace banquet, Qiu Qianyun was really low-key and remained silent during the palace banquets. Therefore, Qin Rou had no impression of Qiu Qianyun (the queen who was said to be extremely favored by Li Rui).

Li Rui protected Qiu Qianyun very well and even warned her not to come to the Queen's bedroom.

But it would be fine if a man had no power, but once he gains power, the beautiful women around him will naturally flock to him. Which man who thinks with his lower body can resist?
The first person they abandon is their wife.

How could a middle-aged woman who had given birth to three children compare with a woman in her prime who was full of beauty and charm?
Just as Qin Rou was feeling complacent, the eunuch's shrill voice came, "The Queen has arrived."

As the words fell, a delicate figure came against the light.

When Qin Rou saw clearly, her first reaction was that this was a good-looking girl from a good family.

Her skin was fair and smooth; time had not been too harsh on her.

Although she has given birth to three children, her figure has not changed.

Qin Rou stood up and saluted, "Hello, sister."

This means she regards herself as Li Rui's concubine.

Qiu Qianyun sat in the main seat, looked at Qin Rou and said, "His Majesty has not rewarded you, so it is inappropriate to call me sister. Be careful with your words."

Qin Rou saw the shadow of Li Xianyun in Qiu Qianyun—seemingly weak but not someone that could be bullied at all.

"Please forgive me, Queen."

Qiu Qianyun looked at Qin Rou coldly, waiting for her to speak.

Qin Rou smiled and said, "Your Highness has been in the palace for a long time, and I have never come to visit you. It is really rude. I came here today to apologize."

"You and I have no intersection, so it's not rude." Qiu Qianyun said, "If you have nothing else, go back."

You're going to fire people so soon.

Qin Rou had a gentle smile on her face.

"Your Highness, I came here today for a reason. I recently heard that Your Highness and His Majesty had a rift because of me. I felt uneasy, so I came here to explain to Your Highness that there is nothing wrong between me and His Majesty. It is not like what the rumors say. Please let it go and don't blame His Majesty."

Qiu Qianyun still had a dull expression on her face. These people really didn't understand her.

She was not angry with Li Rui because of Qin Rou's existence.

She knew what kind of person Li Rui was. After being married for so many years, she knew.

She was angry at Li Rui because he had a secret relationship with Murong Ce, stole her jade pendant, deceived Li Xianyun, and almost put Li Xianyun in danger.

"I know your Majesty's character. If there is nothing else, you can leave."

Qin Rou remained indifferent and said, "Your Majesty is gentle and virtuous, and it is really worth learning from. It's just that I have been in the palace for a long time and I know the nature of men too well. I can share adversity but not happiness. When men have power, they face more temptations and gradually change."

"You should talk to His Majesty about these things and advise His Majesty, not me."

"What do you need to say to me?" Li Rui's voice came from outside.

The next moment, a bright yellow figure appeared. "Your Majesty."

Everyone in the room bowed to Li Rui.

Qiu Qianyun also stood up and bowed slightly.

Li Rui walked to Qiu Qianyun, looked at Qin Rou coldly, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing here?"

Qin Rou's body seemed boneless, and her every move was full of charm. She was indeed a woman who came from a group of men, and she understood men's preferences best.

"I was afraid that the Queen would be bored, so I came here to chat with her."

"This is not the place you should be in," Li Rui said calmly, "Come here, drive her out of the palace. Without my permission, she will never be allowed to enter the palace again."

Immediately, a guard took the order and wanted to lift Qin Rou up and drag her outside.

Qin Rou looked at Li Rui in disbelief, "Your Majesty, I am the Emperor of Later Liang's person. If the Emperor knew that you treated me like this, he would definitely..."

Li Rui said in a cold voice: "The Emperor of Hou Liang has gone insane and is mentally ill. You are his person, so you are naturally insane too. It seems that you can't stay."

He raised his chin as he spoke.

The two guards ignored Qin Rou's words and dragged the man out.

Li Rui looked at Qiu Qianyun, "Qianyun, have you calmed down now?"

Seeing this, the maids tactfully retreated.

Qiu Qianyun glanced at Li Rui, said nothing, and sat back in the armchair.

Li Rui sat down next to Qiu Qianyun.

"Qianyun, I lied to you. In fact, I have always known my life experience, and I have always planned to return to the palace one day. I should not have been moved, but when I met you on the street that day, everything changed. The moment I saw you, I decided that you were my wife, so when you and your mother-in-law were bullied, I risked exposing my identity to save you and your mother-in-law. After so many years, you should know my feelings for you."

Qiu Qianyun didn't look at him, but said coldly: "You know why I'm angry."

Li Rui sighed softly, "Of course I know. I am sorry to Xian'er."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve.

Qiu Qianyun looked at the letter and frowned, "What is this?"

"Xian'er's letter."

Qiu Qianyun raised her hand to take it, opened the letter, and found that it was indeed Li Xianyun's handwriting.

As she watched, her eyes became moist, "This silly child is always considerate of others."

Li Rui couldn't help but sigh, "I did something like that, but not only did she not hate me, she also gave me advice and resolved Murong Ce's threat."

Qiu Qianyun wiped her tears while reading the letter, then turned to look at Li Rui, "What are you going to do next?"

Li Rui said: "Since I am not controlled by Murong Ce, I can naturally do what I want."

"What do you want to do?"

"Help Xian'er to get revenge." Li Rui said, "I have written a letter to Yelu Yan, expressing my willingness to cooperate with him to jointly put pressure on Hou Liang and depose Murong Ce from the throne."

"Husband, are you saying that Yelu Yan wrote you a letter?"

The huge stone in Li Rui's heart fell to the ground. The fact that Qiu Qianyun could call him like this meant that she no longer blamed him.

"Yes."

Qiu Qianyun looked at the letter in her hand and said with emotion: "Yelv Yan is the one who truly cares about Xian'er."

"Well, I didn't expect Xian'er to meet a good man by accident."
