After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 418 The Person Being Pulled

The emperor looked at the woman in front of him who looked like a fat pig in disbelief.

"Protect the emperor!" Qian Rongsheng even stood in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's me, how could you not recognize me? It was Chunying who harmed me, it was Concubine Xian who harmed me, they had people send me rice mixed with lard every day, that's why I became so fat!" Li Cainü cried one after another.

The emperor tried to find the shadow of Concubine Li in this woman, but the result made him uncomfortable.

The emperor didn't know why, but today, when he looked at the falling leaves outside the window, he thought of Li Cainu. He ignored the obstruction of others and wanted to meet his former favorite concubine.

But the result he saw made him extremely uncomfortable. He wished he had never been here. At least in this way, his favorite concubine would still be the beautiful one in his mind.

The emperor wanted to leave, but the sudden surge of emotions in his heart made him unable to help but favor Li Cainu a little.

But just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Cainu's obese appearance and he couldn't say those sweet words no matter what. What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that he didn't understand what was wrong with him?
Who could feel love for such an ugly woman?

The emperor thought he was crazy. He tried to endure it, but couldn't help it. He wanted to be nicer to the woman in front of him: "Forget it, you have suffered a lot during this period. You should know that you are wrong. In the future..."

Li Cainü looked at him expectantly. Since the emperor was willing to come to see her, she felt that the past should have disappeared like smoke. She hoped to become the most favored Concubine Li in the harem again.

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I will provide you with the same amount as Zhaoyi in the future."

The emperor could not bear it any longer. After saying this, he turned around and ran away, as if something was chasing him.

When Li Cainu heard this, she cried out in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, we have been friends for so many years, how can you just let go of us like that? Please let me go!"

The emperor felt as if a ghost was chasing him. He ran all the way into the pavilion in the imperial garden. The guard of honor almost couldn't catch up with him. He felt cold sweat on his back. He couldn't understand how he could fall in love with such a Li.

He saw from afar the Queen Mother walking towards them with Niu Niu, and a warm feeling suddenly rose in his heart, as if he finally caught a glimpse of the warm sun in a cold day.

Niu Niu was reluctant to enter the palace at first, but Gu Mingda had already returned to the palace to resume classes, and the empress dowager sent someone to bring Niu Niu into the palace. However, perhaps because Niu Niu was in a bad mood, Concubine Shun's pregnancy was not so peaceful.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to send the child out of the palace again, and changed his living in the palace to a day school.

Niu Niu now goes to the palace to study every morning, accompanies the empress dowager for lunch, learns the piano in Shoukang Palace in the afternoon, and does not leave the palace until the palace gates are locked.

Niu Niu had just finished lunch and was now accompanying the Empress Dowager for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

When the empress dowager and the emperor's procession met together, the empress dowager had just received the news that the emperor came to visit Li. She did not mention this matter at this time, but deliberately asked: "Why is the emperor interested in visiting the garden in the middle of the day?"

The emperor was still frightened when he thought of Li Cainu's face. He did not hide it from the empress dowager and said, "I'm here to see Li."

The Queen Mother asked casually, "Li has been imprisoned for so long, she must have known that she has committed a grave sin, and she would not dare to make any excessive demands on you."

The emperor thought of what Li shouted before leaving and shook his head.

"Mother, Li has been locked up for so long, and she's still clamoring to be released." The emperor felt that intellectually he hated a woman like Li who was as vicious as a snake, but emotionally he couldn't help but think of the years of love they had for each other.

Even though Li Shi was so ugly and embarrassing, he always wanted to show some favoritism. He felt that this state was extremely strange. He was a man, and he remembered that there was a beauty before, but she had a scar on her arm, so he never favored her again.

The emperor did not think there was anything wrong with his cold and indifferent nature. Instead, he thought that his extreme tolerance towards the Li family was the cause of the big problem.

As an emperor, he was alert by instinct and did not dare to deal with the matter casually. Instead, he asked Qian Rongsheng beside him and said, "It seems that we have never found out what kind of evil method the national master practiced in the past."

Qian Rongsheng shook his head and said, "Before the criminal escaped, he destroyed all the evidence. We have been wanted for so long, but we still haven't found any trace of him."

The emperor frowned and said, "Speaking of which, no matter how great Li is, she is still my savior. I wonder if I am being too harsh on her."

When the Queen Mother saw the Emperor struggling again, she said with a sullen face, "Emperor, although Li is beautiful, there are many women in the harem who are younger and more beautiful than her. Emperor, if you want to thank her for saving my life, you have spared her life after killing so many people. Killing so many people should have cost her several lives."

"Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. You built up the Li family with your own hands. If anyone really owes her a favor, it is she who owes you one."

Niuniu asked curiously, "How did Lady Li save the Emperor? Didn't she ask for a reward?"

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly recalled the scene when they first met.

He was on a secret visit in disguise, but his whereabouts were exposed and he was chased. It happened that Li, who was out worshipping Buddha, sent his own servants to lead him away.

"Although Li was only a sixteen-year-old girl at the time, she was very decisive in doing things. She said she fell in love with me at first sight and wanted to marry me. I have never seen such a bold and brave girl." When the emperor talked about the past, his face showed a little more tenderness.

Niuniu said innocently, "Hearing what the Emperor said, Madam Li seems to be really brave. I have already made up my mind. If I want to meet my sweetheart, I will not take the initiative to ask him to marry me. I want him to come to my house to propose marriage, and I can only marry him after my parents agree. After I marry him, I will also live with my parents."

The emperor was amused by her and said, "How old are you to know what a sweetheart is?"

"Of course I know. The sweetheart is someone you like very much, so much that you want to be with him/her forever." Niu Niu said seriously.

The Queen Mother knew about the assassination, which was later pinned on the Prince of Li. Because of her past with the Prince of Li, she could not say many things, so she could only say, "Niuniu is so young, but she knows what her parents and matchmaker say. As a girl, if she secretly ran away with a man she just met, her parents would be so sad."

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "I won't make my parents sad. If they don't agree, I won't run away with him even if he is my sweetheart."

The Queen Mother was suddenly reminded by Niuniu, and said, "Not only did Li want to run away with your uncle, the Emperor, but her parents actually didn't object. They brought their daughter back and even let them get married as a formal couple."

The Queen Mother only now understood what the Li family had been thinking back then, which was to establish Li's status as the legal wife among the people.

Niuniu frowned and said, "Her parents are really weird."

A strange feeling arose in the emperor's heart.

Niuniu asked again: "Did all the servants of Madam Li's family come back later?"

The emperor told this story to several people, but only Niu Niu took the initiative to ask about the whereabouts of the servants.

The emperor shook his head and said, "These servants fought to the death with the bandits, and none of them survived."

"Then if you think about it carefully, are the servants the emperor's real saviors?" Niu Niu asked.
