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

Chapter 434 Clear Purpose
These three big characters were written by the emperor himself. Now, looking at the familiar characters and the familiar palace gate, the emperor felt that the past was just a dream.

He still remembered the greasy-faced and fat Li whom he had seen some time ago. He shook his head. Although he still missed their past relationship in his heart, he didn't really want to see Li's current face.

The emperor turned around and wanted to leave, but the square hole on the palace gate, which was originally used for the imperial kitchen to deliver meals, suddenly appeared a bloated face.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Li appeared there and knocked hard on the palace door.

The emperor looked at this sudden scene and couldn't help but frowning.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy and let me go. Please consider our years of marriage!" Li pleaded in a sad voice.

The emperor shook his head. Li seemed to be fatter now than before, and his eyes were narrowed into slits. He felt his eyes hurt if he looked at her for a few more seconds.

Li didn't expect the emperor to turn around and leave.

She had thought about losing weight during this period, but Chunying never let her go, and the people in the imperial kitchen also pretended to obey her. The emperor had clearly ordered that she could enjoy the offerings of Zhaoyi, but the food sent by the emperor was still very greasy, even worse than before.

Even if Li didn't want to eat, Chunying would force it into her mouth, and she had no way to stop it.

Li felt that the most uncomfortable thing was that he was locked up in this dark place and had no idea what was happening outside.

This fear of the unknown made her wonder whether she still had any hope of turning the situation around.

Now the only thing she could be sure of was that the emperor had not yet killed her, and that she had probably not reached the worst situation yet.

However, she is now locked up like this, completely cut off from the outside world, which is not much different from a slow death.

"The Empress Dowager has such a cruel heart! She is using such means to torture me to death!" Li said viciously.

She now only hoped that the Imperial Master could turn the tide, but she was afraid that without her reminder, some things might get out of control.

"Well, you bitch, you actually sneaked in here again and tried to communicate with people outside!" Chunying ran over and grabbed Li's ear.

Li was filled with hatred. Chunying had no sense of hierarchy at all and dared to let her suffer such a great humiliation. However, Li decided to endure the humiliation.

"Chun Ying, I have hidden a sum of silver outside Guanju Palace. As long as you promise to help me do something, I can give you the money." Li took the initiative to make a deal.

But what she got in response was a slap from Chunying.

"Okay! You actually hid the money secretly! If you don't give it to me, I will beat you to death now!" Chunying said viciously.

Li: ...

Li secretly hated herself, thinking that she was out of her mind to think that she could cooperate with Chunying. She didn't expect that the lie she made up would bring her great torture in the next few days.

In Shoukang Palace, Li Xuan had already left, and the Queen Mother held Niu Niu in her arms.

"My dear, never try to gain advantage from the tiger. Knowing that the enemy has ill intentions, but still hoping to gain benefits from him, who knows if it will bring you more trouble." The Queen Mother taught Niu Niu her philosophy of life.

The Queen Mother knew that Li had many secrets. If the Emperor had not disagreed, she would have interrogated Li directly. Nanny Sun had also suggested that Chunying go undercover with Li to get information, but the Queen Mother refused.

The Queen Mother felt that instead of spending all her time trying to judge whether the news spread by Li was true or false, it would be better to just go for her original purpose from the beginning.

The news can be obtained later by other means. She just wants Li to live a life worse than death, and she sends Chunying there with the sole purpose of torturing her from beginning to end.

No matter how good the pie that Li painted looked, it was useless to Chunying.

Niuniu looked at the Queen Mother with a confused look and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. My eyes are very good. I can tell who is a good guy and who is a bad guy. I'm not afraid of them bullying me!"

The Queen Mother reached out and tapped Niuniu on the forehead: "You are so powerful, why didn't you realize that Concubine Lin was a bad person earlier?"

Niuniu's face was blank for a moment, and the little girl covered her forehead and quickly changed her words: "I...I was bragging, Grandma Queen, don't remember what I just said!"

When the queen mother heard these childish words, she immediately laughed: "Okay, okay, I won't remember Niuniu's bragging. Ah, next time, he must not encounter such a thing again. Grandma is scared by you."

Niu Niu fell into a coma after leaving the enclosure. Because she was unconscious for a short time, the emperor and the empress dowager thought she was frightened and did not know that she was unconscious because of a wish she had made.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang said nothing afterwards. After all, although Niu Niu saved the emperor with the help of the big tiger, the situation was critical. Saving the emperor meant saving Niu Niu herself. The couple were only glad that Niu Niu still had this hidden talent, otherwise they would not be able to bear the pain of losing their daughter.

Li Xuan returned to the prince's residence. The room of Li Shuo, who lived next to him, was empty. Li Shuo was the grandson of King Qi, and even though his legs and feet had not yet fully healed, he was not left behind during this exile to Lingnan.

Li Xuan placed the magnolia tree sculpture in his arms on the bedside table and couldn't help looking at it again and again.

"Young master, you really like magnolia flowers. Only magnolia flowers and Niu Niu can make you put down your book." The young eunuch who was serving Li Xuan said with a smile.

Li Xuan took another look at the magnolia tree ornament, but finally put it down and said, "Thank you for your reminder. Diligence leads to success, while laziness leads to failure. I must seize the time to study and not waste it any longer."

He returned to his desk, picked up the book and started reading. His mother, the Crown Princess, then informed him that the Queen Mother was willing to act as a matchmaker for him.

Li Xuan also knew that Concubine Shun in the palace was pregnant, and the crown prince would most likely be Concubine Shun's child. Although he had lost the opportunity to compete for the throne, he was not discouraged.

Gu Mingda was the top scholar, and Li Xuan felt that if his talent was too poor, Gu Mingda would not agree to this marriage.

Moreover, he could not participate in the fight for the throne. Although he was born in a royal palace, he had no way of inheriting the throne. He could only make a way out through studying and later ennoble his wife and children.

"The Empress in the palace can never be contacted, and the news can go in but not out."

Li Ziqin frowned as he listened to his subordinates' reply.

He turned to look at the Imperial Master and asked, "The Empress has fallen out of favor now, why do you have to inform her?"

The Imperial Master said, "Your wife has sown evil causes in the past, and now it has borne evil fruits. If we don't find her, how can we resolve these grievances?"

Li Ziqin sent people to assassinate the emperor, preparing to support the Prince of Qi's Mansion in fighting for the throne, but he did not expect that the assassination, which he thought was foolproof, would fail for inexplicable reasons.

"I have long told you that ordinary means are useless, but you didn't believe me. I asked the people I asked to send to Baiyun Town to be more careful, but you sent a few pieces of trash instead!" complained the national master.
