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

The Imperial Palace of Qing.

The palace that had collapsed after the battle was now burning with fire.

Emperor Qing looked at the ruins in front of him with an indifferent expression, without saying a word. Even when the guards who had been waiting outside for a long time came closer, he did not react at all, but just let the fire burn.
In the crowd, Ye Wan finally broke free from the injured and powerless Yan Shendu and the solemn-looking Qin Heng, and approached Emperor Qing at an extremely fast speed. However, before he could get close to him, the disturbing figure of Hong Sixiang appeared in front of him.

He fell straight to his knees, shouting, "Your Majesty! Didn't you say you wouldn't take my life? Why is this happening?"

First, a rain of arrows killed people, and then the ruins were buried and burned by fire.
The Ye family has devoted themselves to the country of Qing and His Majesty until their death. The second master, Ye Liuyun, died not long ago. With so many achievements, couldn't they save an insignificant female member of the family? Even if she spent two days with the Queen of Northern Qi,
"Are you questioning me?"

A terrifying feeling of oppression came over him. It was not false. Just because Li Yunqian said something wrong, Hong Sixiang would attack him brazenly!

Ye Wan's expression became serious, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The identity of Emperor Qing's Grandmaster is known to everyone in the world, but seeing that he was seriously injured, all the generals in the court are now on the border to guard against Northern Qi and cannot return to the capital to report on their duties. Hong Sixiang, a mere ninth-rank general, is not taken seriously by this martial arts fanatic of the Ye family!
He gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and said, "I dare not!"

"Of course you don't dare!" Emperor Qing glanced at Ye Wan sideways, then turned back.

Originally, he valued this outstanding young generation the most.

Not only does he have the ninth-grade cultivation, but he is also proficient in the art of battle formations. After the old generation of generals of Qing State passed away, he might be reused. Unexpectedly, today when an important matter occurred, his weaknesses were completely exposed.
After all, I still can't break free from the shackles of my family!
If he wants to take over the military power completely and enter the core of power, he must distinguish between public and private affairs and know how to make choices! When necessary, he must personally kill his relatives for the sake of justice. Who gave him the courage to question me?
"Ye Ling'er colluded with the enemy country and knew the whereabouts of the Queen of Northern Qi but she didn't report it. This is tantamount to treason! Don't tell me that she doesn't know the identity of the Queen of Northern Qi, right?"

"I am not old enough to not see these things clearly. And my patience is also limited!"

Faced with the young man's silent anger, Emperor Qing did not explain or defend himself.

Ever since the man in the phoenix robe showed up without an appointment and chose to take action, any plan could no longer be accurate. Even if Emperor Qing originally wanted to save Ye Ling'er's life, it was no longer something he could control.

Death is death, survival is his gift!

"Hmph! Back off!"

The mocking cold snort, accompanied by the domineering true energy, made Ye Wan's chest suffocate. His heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with the snort, and he felt so uncomfortable that blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
This is a warning!
"I resign from my humble position."

Ye Wan slowly stood up and turned back, with a hint of coldness on his face. No one dared to disrespect Emperor Qing, as the other party was the emperor and the Grandmaster. But Ye Wan felt a sense of cowardice from this cold snort!
Emperor Qing is now weaker than ever before!
Perhaps the Ye family should do something. At least, the emperor of Qing should be younger and more normal.
Seeing Ye Wan leave, Emperor Qing gave a few loud instructions to the outside, and Qin Heng took Yan Shendu downstairs to heal his wounds. The garrison soldiers also returned to their posts and left the palace to seal the gates of Kyoto.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! It seems that the Queen of Northern Qi has perished here today. This fire that cannot be extinguished by water has not only caused the youngest Grandmaster of Northern Qi to die, but also burned away all their hopes."

Hong Sixiang coughed lightly a few times. Although his face was as pale as a ghost, he felt a little happy!

He covered his chest and breathed heavily. The aftereffects of being infused with Emperor Qing's true energy began to show. He walked closer to Emperor Qing and spoke softly.

As a eunuch, Hong Sixiang had no other pursuits, but was there anything more satisfying than seeing a great master die in his hands?
Emperor Qing frowned as he looked at the fire in front of him, the anger in his eyes seemed to be even more intense.

He didn't like the smell of burning varnish!
The trap here was carefully designed. The underground iron prison was made of steel of the same thickness all around, and he knew how strong it was. Even if he was trapped in it, he would never be able to escape in a short time, even if the Demon Queen held a sharp blade.

Taking into account the Grand Master's survivability, Emperor Qing did not use gunpowder blasting, for fear that he would not be able to kill the opponent but would be able to escape with the help of the expansion thrust generated by the blast.

In such a small and enclosed space, the best way is to suffocate it with sealing wax.

That is not something that can be prevented by any high level of cultivation.
The result was right in front of us, that is, the Demon Queen failed to escape and died silently. But it was precisely because of this silence that Emperor Qing became more certain of his judgment, and sighed faintly: "Such a method is already the ultimate that can be achieved in the world, but it is still not realistic to kill a great master of the Heavenly Vein."

"Lee An'er"

There was extreme anger hidden in the calm tone. Hong Sixiang knew that it was not a pleasant thing to have his name remembered by someone like His Majesty.

Outsiders did not know the inner workings of the palace, but he knew very well that the temple messenger was His Majesty's trump card. He was the one who contacted him on His Majesty's behalf before, and that was one of the few times he went out of the palace.
"Hong Sixiang."

"The old slave is here!"

"Pass the order down to kill all the outsiders who rashly come to the palace gate. Let those who were not present last night do it."

"I will pass this message to Dean Chen."

Hong Sixiang bowed and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where are the Northern Qi envoys? If we chase them with the speed of the Black Cavalry, I think we can catch them."

Emperor Qing did not respond, but just stared at Hong Sixiang coldly.

The look in his eyes was very complicated, with respect, but also disgust brought about by pity. Given Hong Sixiang's current condition, the next time the true energy was injected into his body, it would be the moment of his death!
And Emperor Qing will also lose his greatest assistant!

"The old slave is too talkative."

Emperor Qing showed no signs of joy or anger at this moment. He raised his hand and waved behind him. The eunuchs in the distance then hurriedly came over carrying the fire-fighting items that had been prepared long ago.

When the fire gradually faded away due to the sand, Emperor Qing ordered in a deep voice: "Investigate and see how the demon queen escaped. I am very curious!"

"Your Majesty, please return to your palace to recuperate first. The officials from the Imperial Hospital will be here soon."

Hong Sixiang had his head down at this time, so he could naturally see that the bloodstains under Emperor Qing's feet were increasing.

Although we have to wait for a result and at the same time be on guard against the possibility that the Demon Queen is still alive, it is absolutely not appropriate for His Majesty to fight again now!
Li Yunqian nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly, a shout came and made him stop.

The voice came from far away and the person who came was the eunuch Hou.

"Your Majesty! Are you all right, Your Majesty?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, please go and take a look! Hanguang Palace and the Central Palace were attacked, the Queen is missing, and the Queen Mother..."

This piece of news was like adding fuel to the fire. Li Yunqian instantly disappeared from his original position and came to the front of Eunuch Hou. His gloomy face kept changing. He shouted in a deep voice: "How is the Queen Mother?"

He only asked about the Queen Mother, but did not ask about the whereabouts of the Queen.

Eunuch Hou's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground as if he was frightened by Emperor Qing's might. Seeing the anger in the latter's eyes about to overflow, he came to his senses and cried out in a sobbing voice: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has passed away!"

Died?

Emperor Qing didn't know if he was really too sad or just pretending. He just swayed a bit, took a step back, and held his forehead with his hand for a long time before asking, "How did he die?"

"It was after the assassin broke in." Eunuch Hou prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. After a few kowtows, his forehead was black. He shouted, "I have failed in my duty and am guilty of capital crime. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

"It's a good time!"

The assassin's target was clear. If only one of the Queen and the Queen Mother was in trouble, there would be other possibilities. After all, there were many people who came last night, and there were quite a few who were capable of taking action. But if both of them were in trouble, then there was only one possibility left!

After just a moment's hesitation, Li Yunqian figured out the assassin's identity - Wu Zhu!
And his action also meant that he had found out everything, the truth behind Ye Qingmei's death!

Without waiting for the Emperor's order, Hong Sixiang had already headed for the Hanguang Palace. A warm breeze with a slight odor blew over, and Eunuch Hou fell to the ground and trembled constantly, not daring to disturb His Majesty's meditation in the slightest.

After a long while, Emperor Qing finally broke the silence and whispered, "Go and tell the Tiger Guards to secretly monitor the entire Fan Mansion, especially Fan Xian. I want to know his every move! If Fan Xian shows any abnormality, if necessary, let them arrest him first and leave him for me to decide!"

Eunuch Hou was shocked again!
From what Your Majesty said, it seems that you suspect that Lord Fan entered the palace to assassinate you?
Without any hesitation, Eunuch Hou immediately got up from the ground, bowed to Emperor Qing, and turned to leave the palace to do his job. He did not dare to stay for a moment. At the same time, he warned himself in his heart that no matter how the situation developed, he had to stay away from Lord Fan!
"Old Five, Old Five, I can no longer keep you here."

After today, the Emperor of Qing has gone crazy!

Northern Qi Imperial Palace.

Yong'an Hall.

"You still remember to come back?" The little emperor and Concubine Wu Haitang Duoduo entered the palace together. Hearing the sound of water, they guessed that Li An was taking a bath. Zhan Doudou turned around and rushed into the compartment, watching Li An wipe the hard-to-wash stone paint stains on his body with a smile.

Although the voice sounded sweet and coquettish, Li Ang got goosebumps all over his body and his bones felt a little crisp, but he still sensed the crisis behind the sweet tone!

"Husband, did the trip go smoothly? I heard that we have a new sister?" Haitang Duoduo smiled brightly, revealing a row of big white teeth, and asked directly to provoke.

"what?"

Duoduo, you have changed!
Li An's eyes rolled and his expression turned bitter. He said miserably, "It's too unlucky! I was just one step away from dying outside!"

"See these stains on my body? They were burned by varnish! I can tell you, the situation was very critical at that time, and you almost couldn't see me!"

"Next time, I won't leave the palace no matter what."

After speaking for several sentences and no one responding, he was about to describe the danger in an exaggerated way, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the little emperor before he even started.
"So someone is injured? Do you want me to call a veterinarian for you?"

Zhan Doudou glanced at Li An with disdain, as if he was looking at some fully digested excrement. "You ran out of the palace without saying anything. Who are you hiding from? You just lost to me once, is it so hard for you to accept it? Or are you scared?"

Afraid? Would this queen be afraid?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"Duoduo, has His Majesty always been so brave?" Li An felt like he almost couldn't breathe. He wanted to use a specific case to tell the little emperor that the last time there was not a drop of water left was just an accident. He stretched his arm out of the water to get a towel and pretended to be indignant and said, "Duoduo, go back to the palace first. I will take care of His Majesty alone today."

"My husband really needs to accompany His Majesty!" Haitang Duoduo nodded. After repeatedly looking at Li An's exposed parts, she explained with a calm look in her eyes, "From the injuries on the girl's body when she followed my husband back, it's not difficult to guess that my husband encountered a lot of danger when he went out!"

"Your Majesty is very worried about you!"

"I advise my husband to comfort His Majesty as soon as possible. Do you believe that His Majesty will cry in front of you?"

"Who's crying?" Haitang's words almost made Zhan Doudou unable to maintain the disdain on her face. She snorted coldly, "I'm not worried about a heartless person. I'm just laughing at that person for being afraid of me and leaving without saying goodbye!"

So maybe the little emperor guessed something and cried out of worry after I went out?

"Hey~ Didn't I not tell you in advance because I was afraid you would worry? This time it's my fault, Doudou, can you forgive me this time?"

The little emperor was obviously filled with hatred, but when he saw Li Ang's expression, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. He was about to say something stern to Li Ang, asking him not to do dangerous things again, but he saw the other party acting like a rogue and saying, "I am almost starving to death! Can you eat something first?"

"you"

"My husband is hungry~"

The scene changes to the meal time.

Zhan Doudou originally wanted to set some rules first, and make Li An swear that he would not hide anything from her next time they went out to eat, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't get the upper hand, and was fooled by Li An.

Now that there were outsiders present in the hall, she felt a little embarrassed to lose her temper.

Ye Ling'er lowered her head very reservedly, and after hesitating for a moment, she said respectfully in a low voice: "Ye Ling'er from the Ye family of Nanqing greets His Majesty."

"Hmph!" The little emperor snorted as a response. After he was done, he looked at Li An with contempt, as if to say: This person's appearance is not even as good as Haitang's, let alone compared to me. You are willing to take risks for her. What's your reason?
It's not that the little emperor is superficial, but because Li An is a member of the Appearance Association and likes beautiful women the most.
And this Ye Ling'er has put Li An in danger. Even if she dies ten times, it would not be too much. How could the little emperor look at her well?
"Doudou, I was wrong this time. I apologize to you! But don't treat Ling'er like this. She's still a good person. She even risked her life to let me live when we were in danger this time!"

It's not just because of the promise he made to Ye Ling'er, but also because of her inner qualities that make her worthy of being saved. Not to mention, she was in danger this time because of his own fault.

Li An made a solemn promise to the little emperor and said a lot of good things about Ye Ling'er, which eased the atmosphere a little.

"Do you really know you are wrong?" The little emperor raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

Li An nodded like a prodigal son: "Really!"

Seeing that the other person had been coaxed and his own hunger was getting stronger, Li Ang put on a relaxed smile, picked up the porcelain bowl and took a porcelain spoon and planned to have a mouthful of hot porridge to fill his stomach.

Suddenly, the little emperor clapped his hands to stop Li An's movements, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Wait a minute! Um, this bowl of porridge needs to be changed."

As they were talking, Zhao Gao brought over a new bowl of porridge with a wry smile, then he took the porcelain bowl from Li An's hand without leaving a trace, and then quietly retreated.

What do you mean?
Doudou, did you add anything to the porridge?
At this moment, the smile on Li An's face was no longer just stiff, but completely petrified. "Did you spit in it?"

Hearing this, Zhan Doudou finally couldn't help blushing and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? You pissed me off and you're still expecting me to reward you?"

There are outsiders here!

She clearly added——
PS: The author has had some busy work these days, so the update is not enough for the agreed number of words. I’m very sorry!

I will try my best to make up for it later and ensure the quality. After all, the author also has to work hard to make money. I will post another chapter of 4000 words in the afternoon to make up for today's 8000 words, and then resume this update rate. If nothing unexpected happens, I will not take any more leave this month.

Bow again and apologize. (End of this chapter)
