Chapter 131 Revenge!
The sound of majestic drums echoed in the majestic palace.

Xiao Twelve, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was led by Shen Qingli to the stone steps in front of Qinzheng Hall.

"Okay, Elder Sister can only take you here." She stretched her waist and said to Xiao Twelve with gentle eyes.There are more than 200 stone steps made of white marble in front of Qinzheng Hall.

Every emperor who ascended the throne had to climb these steps alone under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

This is a rule and a ritual.

It means that the newly enthroned emperor will lead the whole of Xiliang to rise to the next step and be honored step by step.

Xiao Twelve paused and looked up at her again.Today, she is wearing a red brocade gown, on which is embroidered a green lotus that extends from the center to the outside but does not grow or branch.A hollow white jade hairpin was inserted obliquely on her head, making her black hair smoother and smoother like a brocade.The whole person also has a kind of elegant and unique charm.

Little Twelve doesn't care what others think, anyway, in his heart, his elder sister is the number one beauty in Xiliang.

He let go of her hand with some reluctance, bit his lips tightly and walked towards the stone steps made of white marble.Immediately behind him, several young eunuchs followed him.

After staying for a while, Shen Qingli turned around and came to Lu Huai's side to salute the new emperor with him.

Before Little Twelve had boarded the Hall of Qinzheng, Lu Huai secretly stretched out a hand under his wide sleeve, and held Shen Qingli's hand tightly.

"Are you tired? Wait a little longer, and you will be able to rest soon." For the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, Shen Qingli got up early today. Lu Huai felt sorry for her work, and held her little hand tightly with the hand under his wide sleeve. .

Shen Qingli raised her head and secretly shook her head at him, then smiled, "It's not a big deal."

"I promised you before, after we finish our work, we will leave Liang Jingcheng and go out for a while." Under the sun, her curled eyebrows fluttered like two small fans, Lu Huai got up There was an urge to come forward and plant two shallow kisses on her eyes. "I've got people ready. After the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor is over, we can leave Liang Jingcheng and stay outside for ten days and half a month."

When he left Liang Jingcheng to inspect the military camps in various places, he also sent people to search for capable people and strangers, hoping to help Ali.Recently, good news finally came.

It is said that there is an old man with a strange temper in Wangyue County not far from Liangjing City.The old man may have a way to help his Ali.

After returning from Yunwu Mountain, Shen Qingli has been busy.Now that she can finally leave Liang Jingcheng with Lu Huaiqi, she is like a bird that has been imprisoned and freed again, and her heart immediately cheers up.

In the days to come, she didn't dare to think about it at all.All she can grasp now is the present moment.

Shen Qingli smiled with crooked eyebrows, and her clear pupils were filled with the silhouette of Lu Huaiqi.Lu Huaiqi met her eyes, feeling a little flustered in his heart.

If one day she is gone...

With this idea together, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

While the new emperor was still walking up the steps, he stretched out his hand and touched her forehead tenderly.He is not a person who believes in the theory of karma and reincarnation, and he also scoffs at ghosts and gods, but now he has a little reverence for gods.

If there is a god, he hopes that God can hear his prayer, even if it is to exchange his life span of 20 or 30 years for her life span of one or two years, he is willing.

It would be nice if the couple could spend another year or two entangled with each other.If she left by then, he would avenge his mother, concubine, brother, and grandfather's family, and he would give up all his glory and wealth to reunite with her under the Nine Springs.

It was all he could give her.

The interaction between their husband and wife fell into the eyes of many people.Mu Yunyao was across from them, and when she saw the interaction between the two, the corners of her mouth twitched disdainfully, and she lowered her voice and muttered to A Ke who was kneeling not far from her, "The two husband and wife rubbed against each other again in broad daylight. Touched again, not ashamed at all."

A Ke slightly raised her smoky eyebrows, and took a deep look at Lu Huaiqi and his wife who were opposite, with a cold light in his eyes.

God is really blind.

How can a woman like Shen Qingli be favored by so many men.

"Ake, I'm so worthless for you. You said that your most beloved mother and concubine was killed by Shen Qingli's mother and concubine when you were born. You were also forced to leave the palace. After so many years, You returned to the palace incognito, but got nothing. She is different..."

Mu Yunyao lowered her voice, her tone of voice was also sour.Although she is not the real Second Princess of Xiliang Kingdom, but because of Shen Qingli, she also suffered a lot from the national teacher.

Seeing the couple showing their affection in front of her, she couldn't bear it.

"Both of you are obviously princesses. Mu Qingli's mother concubine killed your mother concubine, and now she is only locked in a prison. There are powerful people like Lu Huaiqi and Guo Shi beside Mu Qingli. Treat her well, even the new emperor who ascended to the throne will be close to her as the imperial sister. Ake, you and her, she has everything, and you... I am really not worth it for you..."

Mu Yunyao still kept fanning the flames.

The drooping eyelashes covered the crimson glow in A Ke's pupils, and the hatred in her heart swept towards her like waves higher than waves.

Shen Qingli...

She kept murmuring the name in her heart, and the knives bursting out of her pupils almost wanted to tear Shen Qingli's body into thousands of pieces.

"Welcome to the emperor's enthronement!" The two were whispering, and suddenly the eunuch's voice sounded.The two couldn't help raising their eyes and looked at Xiao Twelve again, only to find that Xiao Twelve was already standing outside the gate of Qinzheng Palace, overlooking them.

Under the sun, his bright yellow dragon robe reflected the golden light, which made people afraid to look directly at him.

"My dear friends, let's live in peace." Xiao Twelve said.This was an order from him as the emperor, probably because he was still a little nervous, so that his voice trembled slightly.

After hearing his order, all the people stood up from the field one after another.After looking at the bright yellow figure on the high platform, Liu Yuanzong, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, clenched his robe sleeves unwillingly.

Xiao Twelve was originally a bargaining chip in their hands. If they could successfully support him to ascend the throne, the two brothers and sisters would be able to control the entire Xiliang.

But now it has become Lu Huaiqi's pawn to suppress them.

Years of business operations were all abolished overnight, how could he not have resentment in his heart.

He looked at Lu Huaiqi and their husband and wife with disgusted eyes, and after he let out a soft snort, he looked away.

Out of sight out of mind.For the time being, he regarded himself as blind, and if he didn't go to see Lu Huai and his husband and wife, he might feel better.

On the high platform, Habayashi Wei moved a dragon chair symbolizing supreme power.The eunuch who presided over the ceremony quickly looked at the Minister of Rites who was under the stage.The Minister of Rites understood, and waved to the musicians in a panic, and the musicians played the majestic drums again.

Amidst the sound of drums, Xiao Twelve lifted up his robe and sat on the dragon chair.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" There was another reverent sound of worship under the high platform.

"Excuse me, gentlemen!" Little Twelve raised his voice, this time his voice was no longer as tense and reserved as before.

This time, after everyone on the field got up, he clenched his fist again and put it between his lips to cover up a clear cough, and then he said loudly to the courtiers below, "I am young and young, and I have been fooled by the late emperor." It is because of great love that I have been honored with the great position. However, I also know that the society of the country is not a child's play, so after careful consideration, I decided to confer Lu Aiqing, the governor of Dongchang, as nine thousand years old, to assist me in handling state affairs!"

After the childish voice fell, the eunuch who delivered the decree repeated it again.

The whole place was suddenly silent.

When Lu Huaiqi was the governor of Dongchang, he was already arrogant and domineering, and he put himself above all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.Now they even want to seal him as nine thousand years old.

Nine thousand years old, as the name suggests, is the person in power under one person and above tens of thousands.

Liu Zhi, who is the governor of the West Factory, was stunned to vomit blood when he heard the news.He and Lu Huai have been fighting for so many years, although he has long been filled with resentment.But anyway, in name, he and Lu Huai are the governor of the East Factory and the governor of the West Factory, and their official positions are also the same.

There is no need to salute every time you meet.However, if he is really canonized as nine thousand years old, he will become the most honorable person in Xiliang other than the emperor.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Huaiqi ran up to him to do his best, and when he saw him in the future, he would respectfully salute him like a grandson.

How could he swallow this breath.

Jingli's eyeballs rolled around, and his eyes turned around on the civil and military officials on the field. He saw that many people on the field showed dissatisfaction with this canonization, but no one took the initiative to refute it.

He endured it, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned his head and looked behind him.There was a dark group of people behind him, but he still saw Pei Yan in the crowd.

Pei Yan seemed to be aware of his gaze, raised her eyes, and shook her head at him, as if telling him that at this time the more he should not act rashly.

Liu Zhi received his gaze, bit his lips hard, took a deep breath, and then suppressed the urge to stand up and refute the new emperor's decision.But even so, he still greeted all eighteen generations of Lu Huai's ancestors one by one in his heart.

Pei Yan, who was an editor of the Imperial Academy, stood beside a group of officials who were of similar rank to him. For these small officials, the new emperor was young, and he was destined to become someone else's puppet after he ascended the throne.The person who can control the new emperor may be Liu Yuanzong even if it is not Lu Huaiqi.When the big gods fight, they avoid it as much as possible.

Besides, he had already made up his mind to leave Liu Zhi.It would be best for Liu Zhi to be able to rest easy and not make trouble at this time.

Xiao 12 put his hands lightly on both sides of the armrest of the dragon chair. He thought that when he said his "decision", he would be opposed by the civil servants below.Unexpectedly, no one stood up against Lu Huaiqi on the field.

Little Twelve looked at the little eunuch beside him again, and the little eunuch opened his lips and said loudly, "Captain Lu, take the order and thank you."

Lu Huaiqi had no choice but to temporarily let go of Shen Qingli's hand, and took a few steps forward with steady steps. The fox's eyes reflected the sunlight, and the curve of his lips was perfect and elegant, "My minister thanked the emperor for his great love."

"Lu Aiqing, you are my most valued subject. I will need more work from you in the future." Little Twelve bit his lips lightly. He still hasn't figured out why those officials who liked to fight against Lu Huai in the past are all dumb today. .

But since these officials have kept silent, his arms can't twist his thighs, so he can do whatever he likes.

Lu Huai stood up with fists in his arms, tall and handsome, he stood upright under the faintness of the little sunshine, and his elegance was unparalleled in the world.

Such Lu Huaiqi's whole body was shining, Lu Huaiqi naturally looked at Liu Yuanzong and several chief assistants with anger.If possible, they would all wish to rush forward and tear Lu Huaiqi to pieces.

Unfortunately, they are now being suppressed to death by him.

This Lu Huaiqi is very evil and cunning, grabbing their weakness and defeating them one by one.For example, regarding Liu Yuanzong, today he directly ordered people to surround the bedroom where Concubine Liu Gui lived, and lied to the outside world that Concubine Liu Gui was ill and could not attend the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.

This action was actually telling Liu Yuanzong that if he dared to act rashly today, Concubine Liu Gui's life would be in danger.

For another example, it was proposed to help matchmaking for the girls who had not left the court in the families of the four chief ministers.It is still the princes of the late emperor.The princes of the former emperor, except for the new emperor who is now enthroned, the other princes are all mud that cannot support the wall.

Who is unlucky enough to marry these princes, maybe he is lucky enough to be a princess in the fief, but with Lu Huai here, can he really make them marry as they wish?

Obviously impossible!

In short, the entire court situation was under Lu Huaiqi's control, and since Lu Huaiqi hadn't committed any heinous crimes, it was almost impossible for them to fight him down.

If you can't fight, just let him go.One day, they will find a way to defeat Lu Huaiqi.

Shen Qingli looked at Lu Huaiqi, who was covered with a golden halo, with picturesque eyebrows and pretty eyes.

She knew Lu Huaiqi's ambition.

Going out of his way to survive, in order to be able to return to Northern Qi one day and avenge his dead mother, concubine and clansmen.

He is doing very well now, almost controlling the entire Xiliang.As his wife, he believes that one day he can realize his long-cherished wish.Maybe she won't be able to see her one day, but it doesn't matter.

Lu Huaiqi had already given her everything he could.In this world, to have such a man who loves her like a treasure, it is worthwhile for her to come to this world.

……

There is a tea room not far from the palace.On the second floor of the tea room, Leng Feng stood beside Gao Yunzhan with his sword in his arms. Gao Yunzhan was half leaning on the back of the chair with red knees, wearing a black robe, and drinking tea by himself.

Both master and servant looked involuntarily at the deep palace compound with red walls and green tiles through the window of the private room.

they are waiting...

Wait for something sensational to happen.

Time passed extremely slowly, and the thing they expected never happened.

Leng Feng was a little impatient, his eyes moved slightly, and his gaze quietly fell on Gao Yunzhan beside him.Gao Yunzhan held the celadon teacup tightly with one hand, and he had already drank all the tea in the cup.But he didn't seem to notice this, and brought the teacup to his mouth again.

Leng Feng's eyelids slightly closed.Obviously, His Royal Highness is not much more relaxed than him now.

In order to divert Gao Yunzhan's attention, Leng Feng thought about it a little, then changed the subject and asked, "Master, you suddenly returned to Xiliang from Beiqi, Mu Yunyao and Shen Qingjiao didn't know about it, wait If our business is done, should this subordinate inform these two of your whereabouts?"

He was just looking for something to say.

Gao Yunzhan's evil and charming face had a look of irritability quietly showing.

He put down the celadon tea cup in his hand, but his gaze was still fixed on the red walls and green tiles outside.

Such an unstable Gao Yunzhan was not the familiar master in Leng Feng's memory.He sighed imperceptibly in his heart, knowing that he, who had been defeated many times, was no longer as confident and proud as before.

"Master, this time we dispatched all the spies that Beiqi had planted in the Xiliang Palace, and took advantage of the trouble-prone day of the new emperor's enthronement to attack Lu Huai. There shouldn't be anything wrong. We'll continue to wait, Maybe there will be good news later.”

Gao Yunzhan hooked his lips and smiled dangerously, noncommittal.

Their master and servant didn't know that Shen Qingjiao and Hong Yao also had an elegant room in the teahouse of the same family as them.The attention of both their master and servant was also on the palace.

Hongyao poured tea into his mouth cup by cup until the sun was almost up.She put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Shen Qingjiao.

"Master, it's almost time. She must be about to explode..."

Hong Yao only opened one head, and Shen Qingjiao put the index finger of his right hand lightly on his lips, and made a "shh" gesture to her.Hong Yao smiled and pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor finally came to an end.Escorted by Lu Huai, Xiao Shier still has to go to the harem.All the concubines in the harem had served Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty, and the first thing the new emperor had to do when he ascended the throne was to deal with these concubines.

The new emperor left, and the other civil and military officials couldn't stay in the palace any longer, and everyone left one after another.

After A Ke glanced at Shen Qingli resentfully, she withdrew her gaze and wanted to go back to the palace with Mu Yunyao.Mu Yunyao stood still, A Ke thought she was still jealous of Shen Qingli, so she reached out and tugged Mu Yunyao's robe lightly, trying to pull her away.

Mu Yunyao slapped her hand away suddenly, and A Ke looked at her in surprise.Mu Yunyao's eyes were fixed and she didn't know where she was staring.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked suspiciously.

Mu Yunyao didn't answer her question, on the contrary, she walked past A Ke directly and walked towards Shen Qingli who was surrounded by a bunch of maids in the crowd.

A bad premonition welled up in A Ke's heart, and she was about to chase after Mu Yunyao.

Just when she lifted her foot, another evil thought flashed in her mind, and the raised foot slowly lowered again.She squinted at Mu Yunyao.

"Elder Sister!" Lu Huaiqi had already prepared the carriage, and after he helped Xiao Shier arrange the concubines in the harem, he would take Shen Qingli away from Liang Jingcheng for a while.Shen Qingli is now surrounded by the maids and is about to leave the palace to wait for Lu Huaiqi.

Suddenly a voice came from behind Ding, and she knew it was Mu Yunyao calling her without turning her head.

The steps under her feet did not stop, she walked even faster.Seeing that she didn't stop, Mu Yunyao who was behind her hurried forward and directly blocked their way.

Ran Mo was afraid that Mu Yunyao would do something wrong, so he stepped forward to protect Shen Qingli.Mu Yunyao's stunned eyes moved slightly, and she pushed Ran Mo away.

She pushed people so hard that she pushed away Ran Mo, a martial artist.

"Elder Sister, why didn't you wait for Yao'er." Mu Yunyao had a flattering smile on her lips, this kind of her was very different from the usual Mu Yunyao who always pretended to be innocent.Shen Qingli's heart suddenly jumped, the instinct of her body made her try to avoid Mu Yunyao, but Mu Yunyao suddenly screamed at this moment, hysterically like a lunatic.

The people around were frightened by her sudden action.

Seeing this, the servant girls beside Shen Qingli wanted to escort Shen Qingli away.Mu Yunyao's pupils were red, and like a wild bull, she directly bumped away the maids who were protecting Shen Qingli.

She did not know when the hairpin that was inserted obliquely in the bun had been pulled off by her. She yelled crazily, and the hairpin in her hand was inserted into Shen Qingli's abdomen forcefully.

Everything happened so fast that there was no time to react.

The people around who were about to disperse were stunned again after seeing this scene.

The second princess of the current dynasty assassinates the eldest princess. This scene is so exciting.
