Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 142 Is this how you treat His Majesty?

It was dark under the palace wall at this time. As they were approaching Yongxin Palace, a few lanterns emitting a soft light stopped.

The temperature in the south is much higher than that in the north, but the night is as cold as water, which makes the princess who has been silent here for a long time feel a little cold. Thinking back to what happened in the evening and the past, her heart is filled with anger, and after a brief shock, she is filled with the desire to destroy.

"That little bastard!"

The female official behind him was already used to it.

Even though the eldest princess used to be the embodiment of elegance and fragility, those were just disguises for survival in the palace. The master's true nature was ruthlessness and coldness.

"Your Highness, this Lin Xiang is really ungrateful." The female official's voice was somewhat accusatory and complaining. She clasped her hands lightly on her abdomen and spoke quietly, "You have deep feelings for him, and you had Princess Chen before you got married. In the beginning, for the sake of Lin Xiang's future, you took on all this alone in front of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and bore the infamy!"

"Over the years, His Highness has been managing the inner treasury, and has secretly transferred money from the inner treasury for him to use. Otherwise, even if Prime Minister Lin is extremely talented, how could he have sat on the position of the head of all officials so quickly and smoothly?"

"He is so good, not only does he not remember your kindness, Your Highness, he even regards Your Highness as an enemy!"

The female official's tone was cold and she asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, is there anything I can do for you?"

What to do? What can be done!
After hearing these words from her confidant, the princess was furious. She resisted the urge to yell at the confidant and was thinking about how to deal with Fan Xian.

In just a short while, Li Yunrui returned to her usual sad and miserable self - this was also the thing that Lin Ruofu hated the most about her. She was obviously a vicious shrew, a crazy and resentful woman, but she insisted on pretending to be a victim, which made people feel extremely disgusted.

Lin Ruofu agreed to let Fan Xian be his son-in-law, not only because His Majesty had given the final word and it was not subject to argument, but more importantly, he saw that Fan Xian was not someone who could be easily killed.

By then, when Prime Minister Lin steps down, this huge Prime Minister's Mansion will not be without support, and it will also provide a way out for his only foolish bloodline.
In Li Yunrui's opinion, even if Lin Gong is dead now, her brother the emperor is secretly targeting Prime Minister Lin, which will only make Lin Ruofu slightly unhappy. Everything can be saved as long as she can break the deadlock!

Gradually, Li Yunrui's voice quieted down: "Did our people go to Cangshan Villa to see Lin Gong for the last time? There is something strange about this matter."

"We've checked. One of the coroners in Jingzhao Prefecture is from our team." The female official knew the whole story. After all, she was the one working on behalf of the eldest princess. "Those marks are very normal, but they seem to have been added later. Only one fatal sword wound cannot be concealed. It is indeed the Four-Gu Sword Intention!"

"But the person we contacted is only a seventh-rank at best. Cheng Jushu is the final killing move against Fan Xian. How could Dongyi City possibly send out a ninth-rank person to deal with Fan Xian? After all, Fan Xian is too young."

Little did she know that when Fan Xian first entered Kyoto, he had already fought with Gong Dian in the Qing Temple.

If it weren't for the fact that his domineering Qi was too unstable and limited by his physical strength, Fan Xian would have been able to rank among the top eight warriors! Moreover, times have changed, and Fan Xian has grown to a certain extent!

Considering his age, he is considered to be extremely talented and has a bright future.

"Wu Bo'an is the person we sent to monitor Prime Minister Lin. He has already noticed something. We wanted to persuade him to assassinate Fan Xian secretly, but we didn't expect that his stupid son would be tempted." The princess has been accustomed to holding power in her hands for so many years. How long has it been since she felt the helplessness of 'Man proposes, God disposes'?
"Now that he's dead, there's no need to delve into the underlying reasons. In the end, your Majesty's wishes are the most important."

Li Yunrui has fair skin and a slender and proud neck that is shiny and smooth, like a white swan.

For some reason, a tear streak escaped from the corner of her eye, leaving a tear mark on her face. She wiped it away gently, then asked softly, "What do you think of the peasant queen of Northern Qi? Is she now taking over our smuggling cooperation with Northern Qi?"

"It's not that she took over. Although the route and the delivery of silver and money have changed due to the war on the front line, it is still managed by the Queen Mother in the palace."

The female official was silent for a moment, filtering the information about Li An in her mind, "Should we strengthen our relationship with this person and cooperate more? According to my guess, it won't be long before the Queen Mother can no longer defeat Li An'er."

Perhaps, it is impossible to win now, the female official thought to herself.

"Check it again, no matter how big or small, check it all for me!"

Li Yunrui's voice was so cold that it seemed to blow out the surrounding lanterns. Not only did it make the candlelight flicker, it also made the servants' hands and feet stiff and tremble with fear.

The female officials took the eldest princess' words seriously. After the investigation is completed, perhaps they will find someone else to cooperate with.

The night wind blew across the sky and earth, and it would not bypass the power of the emperor here. It still passed weakly through the darkness, passing by buildings of all sizes. Li Yunrui waved her hand to signal everyone to stop, but she walked into the darkness alone and headed towards Yongxin Palace.

The rest of the people stopped where they were, confused.

Now it was not yet time for the duty, and the Yongxin Palace was right in front of them. They really did not know whether to advance or retreat. They all set their eyes on the female official in front of them, waiting for her orders.

Suddenly, a faint voice with a sweet smile came from the wind: "Kill them all."

There was a hint of madness in his words.

When everyone heard this, they raised their heads with horrified faces, and then they realized that they had heard too much before and had already taken their lives. No longer as submissive as before, now they didn't care about the rules and fled in panic.

Suddenly, several bright lights appeared and cut through the darkness before their eyes. Without waiting for anyone to beg for mercy, the female official with a cold face and even colder hands had already cut everyone's throat with a dagger!
There were several sounds of people falling to the ground, but they were so slight that they did not cause any ripples in this vast imperial palace.

Apart from Hong Sixiang who chuckled from the side of his face outside the Empress Dowager's bedroom not far away, Yan Xiaoyi who was on the eaves in the central area of ​​the palace raised his eyebrows and looked over. After he called a team of guards on duty to go and clean the floor, he turned around and looked away. His eyes were like a radar, covering the entire palace.

One relies on hearing, the other on night vision, and both are enhanced versions!
Ang Lee said he liked them very much and looked forward to the day when he could copy them.
"Sister An'er, why are you taking so long every day?!"

Haitang Duoduo took a deep breath, took the silver axe and cut the weeds in front of her one by one, as if those weeds were the necks of the enemy, and she cut them with great pleasure.

This grass is better than people.

People will bark, but the grass won't make noises, which is the least troublesome thing.

She did this for a reason: if this team was full of experts, and the five of them were all great masters except for the ninth rank, who wouldn't be terrified? With their speed, even if they abandoned their horses, it wouldn't take that long to get from Qingshan in the northeastern wilderness to the intersection of Nanling County and Nanqing Cangzhou Road. But An'er's sister was acting strangely. Seeing that they were approaching Shangshanhu's central army tent, she insisted on choosing a place to change her clothes.

There was no other way. As the only female left in the team, she naturally had to help him change into the phoenix robe. Li An had already prepared the queen's clothes, as if she had not worried at all that Master Qingshan would disagree!
"Although the queen's clothing is a bit complicated and redundant, you have been in the palace for so long, don't you even know how to wear clothes?"

Although Haitang Duoduo was complaining, her hands were not slow. With one hand she was cutting grass to clear the space, and with the other hand she was methodically adding trivial things to Li Ang.

"What are you doing? Are you going to stop mumbling?"

Li An slapped Haitang on the buttocks and said unhappily, "Since when did I have to dress myself? In the past, there were palace maids helping me put on these dresses. Not to mention Xiaomao'er's ingenuity, even if His Majesty got up early, they would help me dress! Are you older than His Majesty?" Although Doudou never got up early, he usually got up on time to go to court after a tiring night.
He went to the dragon throne in the main hall and took a nap. What a clever little ghost!
"Yes, yes, your Majesty is the greatest. Sister An'er, you are older than your Majesty!" Haitang Duoduo was almost speechless. She couldn't even put on her clothes, and he still thought she was right. Finally, he tugged at her belt and waved his hand to wipe off the wrinkles on the fabric. He finally served this master.

"Don't you know whether I am old or not?"

Ang Lee chuckled, and this obscene scene that obviously destroyed the overall image, but under the dual effects of elegance and charm, Haitang Duoduo's pretty face turned slightly red. Before she knew it, Ang Lee grabbed her hand and gently stroked it in his claws.

Perhaps it was because of the noise, or because it took too long, Haitang Duoduo lowered her voice and said, "Stop making trouble, Master is still waiting for us!"

Seeing that everything had been packed, Li An left the previous clothes there and nodded, saying, "Then let's go back and meet up. By the way, you should learn more about helping your husband change clothes. In the future, when no one is around, your husband will have to rely on Duoduo~~"

For no reason, Haitang Duoduo shuddered. She felt that Li An was so greasy at this moment.
When they saw the two people returning, especially the Queen Mother wearing a phoenix robe and a crown, looking very majestic, Ruan Yu and Mu Peng were amazed and quickly lowered their heads half an inch to look away to show their awe.

Ku He opened his eyes and nodded to the two of them. Then they used their Qinggong skills to fly in the air, crossed the last windward slope, and headed towards the direction of Uesugi Tiger's central army.

From a distance, the soldiers in the barracks saw this strange group of five people and had already avoided them and made way for them. These people were soldiers stationed at the border all year round. Although they were much stronger than the refugees, they had never seen Haitang Duoduo and Ku He.

However, even if you can't recognize people, can you still not see what Lee Ang is wearing?

Their knees weakened and they fell to the ground in groups, shouting, "Greetings, Queen!"

"Get up."

Li An raised his hand in the air, and said in a cold and small voice, but it could be heard clearly by others, "Where is the general?"

An officer dressed as a lieutenant general stepped out quickly and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, please come this way. The general has been waiting in the tent for a long time!"

After saying that, he glanced at Ku He cautiously. He was shocked and became more cautious in his movements.

However, he did not recognize her rashly. No one knew her specific plan. If he spoke carelessly and disrupted the other party's plan, his own life would be in danger.

Li An nodded slowly to signal the other party to lead the way. Mu Peng, however, said with a gloomy face, "Uesugi Hu is really arrogant! He didn't even go out to greet the queen when she arrived? If he can't give a reasonable explanation, I'll have to use the long sword in my hand to teach him a lesson!"

The lieutenant general was relatively calm, his face unchanged. He glanced at the soldiers who were already holding their swords, and after suppressing them, he lowered his body as if to ask for forgiveness and responded, "This master may have misunderstood. It's not that the general is being arrogant, but it's just that the queen and you all came too suddenly! Although there was news from the army before, the battlefield is dangerous after all. The queen's noble status and her rash arrival here also made the general doubt the authenticity of this matter."

"The spies scattered outside have not noticed anything unusual and have returned to the camp. How can the general prepare in advance and go out to welcome them?"

"No need to argue." Li An waved his hand, signaling Mu Peng to leave.

He could also see that the lieutenant general was telling the truth, and the helpless expression on his face was about to overflow.
The simple disturbance was of no consequence. Seeing that the queen was not angry, the general breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to lead the way.

Everyone followed, and as they walked, Haitang Duoduo whispered in Li An's ear, "Is this why my sister wants to change into a phoenix robe?"

Seeing Li An shaking his head, she asked again: "Then why do you change clothes?"

"For what? To look good!"

"We have traveled a long way and are exhausted. Although we have the true qi to protect ourselves from being contaminated by worldly things, ordinary clothes are too cheap and do not suit my status!" Li An said as if it was a matter of course.

"That's why?"

"Why not?"

"Then why didn't you change it earlier, but waited until we got to the camp?"

“I just remembered.”

"you"

"When you go out, remember to call me Queen, otherwise I will punish you!"

"Hmph!" Haitang Duoduo bit her lip and responded with disdain, "Then I wonder what methods the Queen will use to punish Duoduo? Slap her butt, or..."

Bridge Bean Sacks!

Can these words be said in such an occasion?
The two whispering in each other's ears along the way seemed nothing to outsiders. Everyone knew that the Empress was closest to the Saint besides His Majesty in the palace. It was normal for her to behave like this.
But if others can’t hear it, how could Ku He not hear it?

That's a player who plays with the laws of nature!

Seeing that Ku He was not unusual, Li An rolled his eyes and whispered in Hai Tang's ear, making her like a firecracker that had gone mute, no longer powerful: "Actually, my methods are very simple, not what you said. Those will only make you more excited."

"If my sister makes me unhappy, I won't touch her for a month! Is this considered a punishment?"

Upon hearing this, Haitang Duoduo was stunned on the spot, her whole body frozen in place as if ice, her beautiful face, which was not heavily made up, was now covered with blush.

"You are shameless!"

"Sister, you are too kind!" Li An was not embarrassed. He had expected Haitang to taste the forbidden fruit for the first time. Now was the time to taste the sweetness. Unfortunately, he had no chance to do so after rushing all the way from Qingshan. Just now, in the weeds, although our Saint Lady concealed her expression very well, the hand that was changing her clothes kept making small movements, as if she wanted to eat someone.
I guess she couldn't bear it any longer!

Using this threat at this time should be able to force the other party to agree to many unequal treaties.

"Oh, I forgot to tell my good sister! This move is for His Majesty."

“It’s the most useful one!”
