Chapter 164
Shen Qingli was brought back to Fengshu Palace by Lu Huaiqi's maid.It was an extremely uneventful night in Fengshu Palace.A thunderbolt struck a century-old pine tree planted in the palace garden.The pine tree was split in two.In the eyes of the people in the palace, such a thing is an ominous omen.

As for the queen, it is said that after a gout attack, life would be worse than death.But the imperial doctors have been helpless.After the emperor knew about the queen's illness, he rushed over overnight, and the entire Fengshu Palace was shrouded in a stiff and dignified atmosphere that night.

Shen Qingli sneaked back to the bedroom where she lived.The act of her sneaking out was not discovered.

Lying back on the bed, she tossed and turned sleeplessly that night.

After finally falling asleep, she unexpectedly had another strange dream.

In the dream, she was getting married in a red sedan chair with eight lifts.In the bridal chamber, Dahong lifted her hijab, and she saw Lu Huaiqi in a wedding dress.In the dream, her heart skipped a beat, and when she woke up with a start, she sat up straight from the bed.

"Ali, did you have a nightmare?" Zhu's concerned question rang in her ears.

Shen Qingli raised her eyebrows, and only then did she see her mother, Mrs. Zhu.Her consciousness was gradually withdrawn from the absurd dream she had.Looking up at Zhu's red and swollen eyes, she frowned and asked, "Mother, what's going on?"

Clutching a handkerchief, Zhu wept softly, "A Li, your queen's aunt, she is dying soon."

Zhu Shi thought of the well-behaved person suddenly lying on the bed sickly overnight, feeling uncomfortable, and wept softly again.The relationship between Shen Qingli and the empress is not deep, and the empress did not take care of their mother and daughter much before. Now that she suddenly knew that such a thing happened to the empress, she felt a little melancholy, but it was not as sad as Zhu's.

"Ali, why do you think the queen is dying suddenly?" Mrs. Zhu thought of the queen and then thought of herself, "My dear Lier, once your queen's aunt leaves like this, your prince cousin and your pure cousin From now on, there will be no motherless children. I don’t need to think too much to know how sad their life will be for the two of them. A Li, if my mother is like your queen and aunt one day... the person my mother is most worried about You are the one……"

This is so good how to pull it on yourself again.Shen Qingli quickly interrupted Zhu's association, "Mother, don't think too much about it. How can you get sick if you are so good. Besides, our mother and daughter will never be separated in the future." Shen Qingli thought of what Lu Huaiqi said last night, If she doesn't rely on Lu Huaiqi's power now, she won't be able to take her mother away at all.

And if she went to Xiliang by herself, it is also possible that the Northern Qi people could not kill her and instead attacked her mother.No matter how much the people here in Nantan are willing to take care of her mother, they won't take care of her too much.

In fact, who knows what will happen in the future.She has now been forced to have no other choice at all.

We can only take one step at a time.Maybe the mother and daughter will think of other ways to save themselves when they go to Xiliang in the future?

Shen Qingli was thinking about something, and suddenly a maid came to report that the queen was dying and was about to die.When Mrs. Zhu heard the news, she couldn't control her emotions any longer, and burst into tears.

The mother and daughter did not dare to delay any longer, and followed the maids to the main hall of Fengshu Palace.The maids and eunuchs in the main hall came in and out, and the maids and eunuchs were so busy that they couldn't touch the ground.

The concubines from all the palaces also came to Fengshu Palace.Shen Qingli mixed in the crowd and saw the emperor.Although the emperor kept his face sullen, it gave the impression that he didn't seem to care much about the empress' illness.

Not only the emperor, but also the concubines in other palaces did not show much concern for the queen.It was her mother, Mrs. Zhu, who wept bitterly.

Shen Qingli couldn't help but comfort her again, which made Zhu's mood a little better.

Although he is the married wife, the three thousand beauties who have been around him in high positions these years have already made his feelings for the queen fade away.Now that the empress suddenly fell ill, Emperor Nantan felt a little melancholy, but it was far from being heartbroken.

Amidst the crowds, one of his personal servants stepped forward and whispered in his ear.Emperor Nantan's pupils shrank sharply, and then moved to another side hall of the sleeping hall.

In the side hall, the empress' elder brother Zhu Hao was already waiting for the emperor in the side hall.After seeing the emperor, Zhu Hao took the initiative to go forward to greet Emperor Nantan.

"Reporting to the emperor, the empress suddenly fell ill, and the imperial doctors were helpless. I have invited a miraculous doctor. I hope the emperor can allow this miraculous doctor to treat the empress." Zhu Hao was so anxious, what if his empress sister Without it, their Zhu family may slowly decline in the future.

A dead horse is a living horse doctor, and one of his disciples recommended such a miracle doctor to him.

He also had people try this miracle doctor, and he did have some medical skills.

Emperor Nantan's eyes slowly turned to the miracle doctor that Zhu Hao had mentioned.The genius doctor he was talking about turned around slowly at this moment, and Emperor Nantan met a pair of shining deep purple eyes.

Shen Qingli, Zhu Shi and the others stood guard outside the Queen's bedroom for more than an hour.At this time, the chief eunuch next to the emperor came over, "Masters, the emperor said that he has found a miracle doctor to treat the empress, and you can go back and rest for a while."

After the chief eunuch said so, everyone left.

When Shen Qingli and Zhu Shi just returned to the main hall where they lived, their maid brought two other women into the hall.Shen Qingli recognized these two maids at a glance as the two maids who sent her back last night.

"Servant Xiangxue, she is Xianghai, Lu Jiuqian asked the servants to take care of Princess Xianghe." One of the two maids took a step forward and introduced herself to Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli was a little depressed, it was difficult for her to get rid of the people that Empress Nantan sent to monitor her.Lu Huaiqi suddenly stuffed her with these two maids, which completely cut off her way of escape.

A smile appeared on Shen Qingli's face, as if he was welcoming the two of them.

Among the two, Xiangxue took another step in front of Shen Qingli, blocking the sight of the other maids, and secretly took out a small white porcelain bottle from her sleeve.

"This is the pill that Lu Jiuqian asked his servants to bring to Princess Xianghe. Lu Jiuqian was worried that Princess Xianghe would catch a cold because of the rain last night."

After drinking ginger soup last night, she didn't feel any discomfort in her body.But, why did she feel that this Lu Jiuqian cared more about her than usual?
Hope it's not her self-indulgent idea.

Shen Qingli took the small porcelain bottle from Xiangxue's hand and secretly put it in her sleeve.When only their mother and daughter were left in the back hall, Zhu Shi said cautiously, "A Li, I think that Lu Jiuqian is pretty good, and he is not as vicious as the rumors from the outside world before. I still listen to you The queen's aunt said that Lu Jiuqian had a deep relationship with the eldest princess of Xiliang before the age of [-]. Alas, things in this world are always at the end of the moon, and the love is not long. Often the more loving the couple, the less fortunate they are to come to an end .”

Obviously, Mrs. Zhu has been brainwashed by the Queen recently, and when it comes to Lu Huai, she always speaks well.And the reason why the empress instilled the Zhu family in this way was naturally because she hoped that Shen Qingli would go to Xiliang willingly.

Shen Qingli sighed, her mother is really the kind of person who has to count the money for her after being sold.

At this time, Mrs. Zhu moved to Shen Qingli's ear mysteriously and whispered, "Ali, do you think that Lu Jiuqian is really a eunuch?"

"Of course not!" Shen Qingli answered directly.After answering, she was stunned.How could she answer this question in such a firm tone?

Facing Zhu's suspicious gaze, Shen Qingli quickly laughed, "Mother, anyway, I just don't think he's as effeminate as a eunuch." Apart from this, she herself couldn't say anything else.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu has diverted her attention, "Your aunt said that things in Xiliang are very complicated. However, whether Lu Huaiqi is a eunuch or not doesn't affect his power. He is now the powerful Nine Thousand Years Old in Xiliang , it can be said that the emperor of Xiliang is already his puppet."

The more cowardly and timid people are, the more they admire those who are strong-minded and capable of doing great things.

Obviously, Mrs. Zhu has a good impression of Lu Huaiqi, who is nine thousand years old.

A long and tedious day is finally over.Not long after Shen Qingli finished bathing and lay on the bed, she vaguely felt that there was a person standing on the head of the bed.She raised her eyelids and looked over in the dim light, and there was a tall and dark figure on the bedside.

She sat up on the bed in fright.

"It's me." A magnetic and sexy voice sounded in the empty hall.

All Shen Qingli's uneasiness fell silent again.

Lu Huai got up.

"Lu Jiuqian." Shen Qingli called her softly.Lu Huai let out a "hmm".

"Lu Jiuqian, if you come to me at this time, if people find out, not only you, but also my reputation will not be good." After Shen Qingli knew that it was Lu Huai, she immediately felt embarrassed.

She and him, the two of them should not be familiar enough to meet in private like this.

Lu Huaiqi listened with a light chuckle, "It's okay, I just came to talk to you about something. I have already explained to your emperor that you and your mother will go to Xiliang with us in two days."

So fast?
Shen Qingli's eyebrows drooped.

After Lu Huai raised his hands, he couldn't see the outline of her face clearly in the dark light, but her pair of black eyes were shining like stars, and when he looked at her eyes, he thought of his A Li again. .

He couldn't wait any longer.I can't wait to take her back to Xiliang soon.

Only in Xiliang can he not be snatched away by others.

In Fengshu Palace, the queen, who was diagnosed by the imperial doctors as not long to live, has faintly woke up.In front of the phoenix couch, Yin Lijin turned to Emperor Nantan and said treacherously, "Actually, I sent someone to poison the queen, so I can easily bring her back to life. Of course, I have one more thing here. I have to tell the emperor about the matter, I gave the empress the yin-yang Gu. One yin and one yang, the empress is yin, and you, the emperor, are naturally yang. If one of you husband and wife is affected by the Gu, the other will also be affected. The queen is fine now, but what about the emperor?"

Yin Lijin almost directly swears to Emperor Nantan in a despicable tone that he has done those nasty things.

Not shy at all.

Emperor Nantan was frightened and panicked all of a sudden.
