Chapter 91
In Lu Dudu's mansion.

Shen Qingli sat in the bathtub, the warm water opened up the pores of her skin, and she sighed comfortably.

After she took a bath and changed her clothes, the tearing feeling from somewhere under her body made her frown slightly again.

As soon as she woke up, she was in the Dudu's mansion.

She herself didn't know what happened, she just felt vaguely as if she had a long and strange dream.In the dream, Lu Huai started to whisper something to her ear, and she opened her mouth to bite his lips because she thought he was noisy, and then there was a tearing pain under her body.

This tearing pain is still closely accompanying her until now.

She is not the kind of lady who has been trapped in the house without leaving the door. She knows what it means to feel the clear pain under her body.

"Hasn't Ran Mo come back yet?" She looked at Shuang Jue, the maid beside her who was serving her.Shuang Jue lowered her eyes, and answered her respectfully, "Madam Qi, the maidservant has already ordered the concierge. If Sister Ran Mo returns home, let her come to see Madam directly."

Shen Qingli bit her lips lightly, and nodded helplessly.

She was in a coma in the palace, and only Ran Mo was by her side at that time, and only Ran Mo knew what happened during her period of confusion.

Late at night, people are quiet.

When Ran Mo appeared in front of Shen Qingli, Shen Qingli had been waiting for her for several hours.Ran Mo kept her head down like a child who did something wrong, "Miss, after you fell into a coma, the servant was worried about your accident, so he and a few palace servants sent you to the nearby Jinglan Palace first, and asked the imperial doctor It was for your diagnosis and treatment. But it was obviously arranged by someone long ago, and the servants inhaled the mist, and soon passed out. It is only now that I can see you, miss."

"Then..." Shen Qingli was ashamed to say something, and changed his words before changing the words, "According to what you said, during the time I was unconscious, did Governor Lu come?" Jinglan Hall?"

She is completely confused now, and she no longer knows whether the dream she had in the chaos of consciousness is real or... just a dream.

A look of irritability could not help but float between his brows.

Ran Mo said on the sidelines again, "Miss, this is needless to say. The governor will definitely go to Jinglan Palace if something happens to you. As for what happened in Jinglan Palace at that time, the servant is not clear. But the servant suspects that You poisoned...Gao Yunzhan..."

Ran Mo faintly read the name that made her shudder, "He can poison you in the palace, he must be planning something." Now among the civil and military officials in the court, the one who really cares about her young lady There is only Lu Huaiqi.

So she felt that Gao Yunzhan must have wanted to blackmail Lu Huaiqi by attacking her young lady.

What Ran Mo was thinking was also what Shen Qingli was thinking, her dark eyes were covered with a layer of water, she bit her lip and bowed her head in thought.

What Ran Mo thought was that since Shen Qingli had returned to the Dudu's Mansion safely, there shouldn't be any major incidents in the middle.She then told Shen Qingli the latest news she knew, "Miss, the emperor has woken up!"

Emperor Ming Huai is Shen Qingli's biological father after all, if Emperor Ming Huai wakes up, Shen Qingli, the princess who has suffered so much outside, can get some compensation from the emperor.

Ran Mo was happy for Shen Qingli.

When Shen Qingli heard the news, he bit the tip of his tongue, and a faint smell of blood spread from his lips and teeth.

Ming Huai Emperor woke up, what should Lu Huai do with his imperial edict passed on to the Tenth Prince?
"Ran Mo, is Governor Lu in the mansion now?" Shen Qingli frowned and asked again.

Ran Mo shook his head, "When I returned to the mansion just now, the butler in the mansion said that the emperor in the palace woke up, and the governor will be very busy these two days. I want the servants in the mansion not to take advantage of the governor's absence. be lazy."

Shen Qingli's heart suddenly seemed to be suppressed by a stone, and it was heavy.

Some things she couldn't find the answer from Ranmo, if she wanted to know the real answer, she might have to ask Lu Huai herself.

"Dong dong..."

Outside the eaves, the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves suddenly sounded.Shen Qingli looked out the window, the pattering rain had already started to fall, and it was hitting the banana leaves in the yard.

Another gust of night wind blew, and the lanterns hanging in the corridor were blown down by the wind, and the fire was extinguished with a "pop".

It was pitch black outside the courtyard.

Shen Qingli's heart was also shrouded in a sense of confusion. She felt like she had walked into a dark and endless corridor. She didn't know where the way forward was.The back road was blocked again, and the frustration that surged in her heart darkened her eyes, and she was speechless.

The sudden awakening of Ming Huai Emperor disrupted Lu Huaiqi's plan.Lu Huaiqi had to redeploy some of his plans after he came out of Ming Huai Emperor's bedroom.

He was busy until midnight before he found time to go back to Dudu's Mansion.When the housekeeper came to welcome him, Lu Huaiqi immediately asked, "Where's Madam? Has she sent someone to look for the governor?"

The housekeeper shook his head lightly, "However, the old slave heard from the governor that you might be busy outside for the past two days, so he explained it. The madam should also know that the governor will be outside for the next two days."

Lu Huaiqi nodded lightly, and didn't ask the housekeeper any more, but he still wanted to go to Shen Qingli's yard and explain to her clearly what happened during the day.

This is what he should do as a man.

But just as he walked halfway, Tong Wanjin came behind him panting again.

"Lu Huai, hurry up! Something happened to Gao Tianling, the commander of the forward battalion on the left and right wings. You have to go and see quickly."

Gao Tianling, the commander of the left and right vanguard battalion, was secretly Lu Huaiqi's man, and he jumped out this time when the Shen family tried to usurp the throne.But now that the situation in the court is treacherous and changeable, it is possible that Gao Tianling was targeted by someone to trick him.

Lu Huai squinted his fox eyes habitually, and looked at the yard not far away. The lights in the yard had already been turned off, and Shen Qingli should have fallen asleep by this time.

With a slight pause in his steps, he turned around and followed Tong Wanjin away.

As for what happened during the day, he thought he could only find another suitable opportunity to explain to her.

Another place in Liang Jingcheng.

Leng Feng just respectfully delivered the information from Beiqi to Gao Yunzhan.Gao Yun Zhan Xiebei's fox eyes quickly flipped through the information, and seeing that nothing had happened in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty during his departure, he put the information aside with a slanted smile.

"Master, that Liu Zhi is really an idiot who cannot be supported, no wonder he was suppressed by Lu Huaiqi for so long." Leng Feng felt a little unwilling when he thought of Lu Huaiqi's successful escape during the day.

He has always worshiped his master as a god in the sky.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, although his master was not the emperor, he still covered the sky with one hand.

Everything he wants to control can be controlled by him in the end, but this master whom he believes in as a god, after coming to Xiliang Kingdom, he always fails to succeed in his calculations.

The corners of Gao Yunzhan's foxy eyes slightly lifted up, and there was a wicked light shining in his eyes.

"It's okay, Leng Feng, don't you think the game is getting more and more fun?" Gao Yunzhan said with a sinister expression.

Leng Feng pursed his lips.

He doesn't think so.

Gao Yunzhan picked up the Langhao brush on the desk again, and quickly wrote on the snow-white rice paper. After finishing writing, he handed the rice paper in his hand to Leng Feng.

"Prepare according to what is written here."

Leng Feng took the piece of rice paper and looked down, the names of various precious antiques, calligraphy, paintings, gold, silver, jade and silk were densely written on the rice paper.

Leng Feng didn't know what his master was going to do again, so he took the paper in his hand and retreated.

After the cold front left, a gust of cold wind blew open the closed windows.The window was opened, and the cold wind blew out the candles in the room.Gao Yunzhan's figure was gradually shrouded in shadow.

After an unknown amount of time, the corners of his lips twitched, revealing his white teeth.

This Lu Huaiqi seemed to be more difficult to deal with than he thought...

But that's okay.

The stronger the enemy is, the more intense the thrill after defeating him will be.

Day two.

Just before dawn, a carriage from the palace came to the Dudu's mansion to pick up Shen Qingli, saying that it was the order of Emperor Minghuai himself.Shen Qingli didn't have a good opinion of her biological parents, but due to Emperor Ming Huai's power, if she didn't enter the palace, it would be difficult for Lu Huaiqi to explain.

After she entered the palace, she was immediately taken to see Emperor Minghuai.

"Greetings to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Shen Qingli saluted Ming Huai Emperor.

If it was in the past, she might still be friends with Emperor Ming Huai, and then they could learn woodwork that both of them like.

But now, in order to seek power, Shen threw her to An Guogong, which gave Ning an opportunity to take advantage of.She didn't hate Ning Shi in her heart.

What Ning did to her was just to get revenge on Shen.

She was just unlucky to be born Shen's daughter.

In the same way, Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty was not a gentle and kind father.He has been thinking about his favorite concubine Liu Dagui.But before the rebels rushed into the palace, he had already run out of the palace with some of his confidants, and left his women in the palace.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Ming Huai always loved himself the most.

With such a selfish father, Shen Qingli didn't even dare to expect any paternal love from her.

Ming Huai Emperor looked and looked at Shen Qingli with his bright eyes.

His feelings for this daughter are complicated.

He was supposed to be his first child, who would inherit his obsession with woodwork and become the most distinguished eldest princess in the entire Xiliang Kingdom.But a Shen, she ruined all of this.

"A Li, Royal Father neglected you too much in the past. But Royal Father will try to make up for you in the future." Emperor Ming Huai said sincerely.Among his princes and daughters, she was the only one who followed him and liked wood art.

The royal family has a great career, and it's just raising one more child, but he can still do it.

The expression on Shen Qingli's face was faint, "Thank you, Father."

Besides, she didn't know what to say to Emperor Ming Huai.

It can be said that the way of getting along between the two of them can no longer be as pure as before.

Emperor Minghuai probably also noticed that Shen Qingli was unfamiliar with him, and the expression on his face was also a little embarrassed.

After hesitating for a while, he said again, "Besides, your status is different now. When Lu Huai gets up there, you don't want to go back again, and you can stay in the palace with peace of mind from now on."

That's what he said, but his tone of voice already unconsciously carried a tone of command.

It's not just a biological father. When she was in trouble and needed them, they didn't take care of her.Now as soon as they met each other, they immediately stood in the father's position and gave instructions on her life.

Let her move out of Dudu Lu's mansion?Isn't it a disguise to let her make peace with Lu Huai?

What did they think of Lu Huaiqi?

Shen Qingli hated Emperor Minghuai like this in his heart, just as he was about to open his lips to veto Emperor Minghuai's request, the voice of the little eunuch outside the palace gate had already sounded.

"Concubine Liu Gui has arrived, and the Twelve Princes have arrived!"

Shen Qingli swallowed the words when she reached her mouth.In the next moment, Concubine Liu Gui led Twelve Princes by the hand and Pingpin Tingting walked into the bedroom.When their mother and son saw Shen Qingli, they were slightly surprised at first. After paying respects to Emperor Minghuai, Concubine Liu Guigui pursed her lips and smiled lightly to congratulate Emperor Minghuai, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, and finally to treat Ali like this The capable daughter has been found."

Concubine Liu Gui is charming and affectionate, "No wonder the concubine thought that A Li was different from other people's daughters before, and dare to be the emperor's child. No wonder he is so special."

Emperor Ming Huai's mood brightened a lot after saying this.

Concubine Liu Gui took the opportunity to glance at Shen Qingli again, "However, the concubine is really sorry for A Li. If a special child like A Li can grow up by the emperor's side since he was a child, he must be outstanding. It's a pity that sister Zhang... ..."

There was a look of pity on her face, as if she really felt sorry for Shen Qingli, "Sister Zhang is really cruel. The concubine is not blessed, if the concubine has a daughter like Ali..."

As Concubine Liu Gui said this, she had already twisted her waist and came in front of Shen Qingli.She gently reached out and took Shen Qingli's hand, looking and smiling at her, her eyes full of smiles.

Shen Qingli lifted her dark eyes slightly, and glanced at Concubine Liu Gui indifferently.

She clearly found that although Concubine Liu Gui kept looking at her and smiling, the smile was not as good as her eyes.

The next moment, Concubine Liu Gui suddenly "thumped" and knelt down to Emperor Ming Huai, "Your Majesty, this concubine liked A Li before. Now that A Li can be found, this concubine is very happy from the bottom of her heart. Besides, A Li I even saved Xiao Shier's life before. The concubine thought and thought about it last night, and only after seeing Ali today dared to muster up the courage to make this request to you. Your Majesty, pass Ali to the concubine, the concubine to you She is the concubine mother. The concubine promises that she will take good care of Ali in the future."

The handkerchief in her hand was clutched again and again, and her charming eyes were full of sincerity.

With this appearance and demeanor, it seemed that she really wanted to recognize Shen Qingli as her daughter.

Shen Qingli's eyes turned a little colder when he looked at Concubine Liu Gui.From the moment Concubine Liu Gui knew her truth, the alliance between them had already collapsed.

Concubine Liu Gui would never trust the daughter of an enemy.

The play she sang today is, firstly, to gain a good reputation for herself, and secondly, she recognized the biological daughter of her enemy, Chen Shi, as her daughter. crazy.

The Twelfth Prince stood aside all the time, he looked at Concubine Liu Gui with his dark eyes and then looked up at Shen Qingli.

There was sympathy in his eyes.

Emperor Huai of Ming stretched out his hand to gently stroke the beard on his chin. Concubine Liu Gui wanted Qing Li to be his daughter, so he could naturally understand her intentions.But since he himself has been deceived by Shen for more than ten years, he has not yet vented his anger towards Shen.

"Okay!" He directly agreed to Concubine Liu Gui.

As long as he can get angry with that bitch Shen, he is willing to do it.

Concubine Liu Gui stood up from the ground in surprise, and stretched out her hand to grab Shen Qingli's hand affectionately, "A Li, that's great. We will be a family from now on. You can come to Mother Concubine for any difficulties. Mother Concubine will definitely make up for what you have lost over the years."

Look, it's hard work being the emperor's daughter.

It wasn't long before the father and daughter met each other, and Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty had forced her to arrange a life without her consent.

Shen Qingli's eyebrows drooped slightly, her dark and round eyes were filled with darkness, she retracted her hands, straightened her back, and looked at Ming Huai Emperor indifferently.

"Royal father, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken and marry a dog, follow the dog. Since this minister is already the concubine of Dudu Lu, he must be dependent on him for life and death. It doesn't make sense. Now that the minister has changed his status, he will be abandoned like a straw. Of."

At the beginning, she was the one who shamelessly climbed up to Lu Huaiqi, but now that she kicked him off, Lu Huaiqi's enemies would have to arrange him and then sneer at him fiercely.

"Secondly, I don't like anyone to be my mother. Whether it's the Shen family or Concubine Liu. I'm extremely disgusted with the word 'mother concubine'." So you, Concubine Liu, don't play affectionate dramas in front of me anymore. .I have no shortage of mothers.

As soon as she finished these two points, Concubine Liu Gui held the handkerchief and "whimpered", and immediately there were tears in her eyes.

"A Li, you child...how much suffering did you have to suffer to be so disgusted with the word 'mother concubine'...you are such a poor child... Your Majesty, it's okay. Since A Li doesn't like concubines, minister The concubine doesn't force her..."

Concubine Liu Gui's "considerateness" made Shen Qingli a bit unreasonable.

Of course, Concubine Liu Gui didn't forget to fan Shen's rumors in the ears of Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty, "But my concubine dared to plead with the emperor. I hope the emperor will definitely seek justice for Ali. We can't let Ali just suffer for so many years in vain." suffering." Shen Shi, she must not let Shen Shi go just like this.

Ming Huai Emperor frowned, and looked at Shen Qingli with some displeasure.

She straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and her dark eyes flashed with arrogance and rebellion.

She like this doesn't seem to really take her father as a royal in her heart.

Ming Huai Emperor looked at her with eyes that gradually became deep, as if he wanted to look at the Shen Shi back then through him.

"A Li, today is different. In the past, I had no control over what you wanted to do. But now, you are my princess, and your every move must be done according to my orders." Emperor Ming Huai's voice was calm and cold. He said to Shen Qingli forcefully.

Order her again!

Shen Qingli really hated Emperor Minghuai's attitude.

She bit her lip, and the words of refusal were already on her lips.The Twelve Princes suddenly stepped forward, took Shen Qingli's hand, raised his head and said to Ming Huai Emperor, "Father, Elder Sister was always taken care of by Dudu Lu before. Let her leave Dudu Lu now, she must be a little bit I don't want to give up. Why don't you do this, father, please give Eldest Sister a little more time."

The Twelve Prince's voice was crisp and clear, he really wanted to rescue Shen Qingli.

Seeing his daughter and son standing together, the words "Yue Zhang Ming" rang out in Emperor Minghuai's mind like a curse.

His face turned cold, and he chuckled lightly, "This Lu Huaiqi really didn't teach you any rules."

If you have to follow the rules in everything you do, how can that person live happily?
Shen Qingli refuted Emperor Minghuai in his heart.

Originally, the situation was at a stalemate, but just at this time, the little eunuch hurried into the palace again and reported to Emperor Ming Huai, "Your Majesty, Prince Gao Yunzhan of the Northern Qi Dynasty is begging to see you outside the palace!"

After Ming Huaidi woke up, he also heard that he was able to wake up this time thanks to taking the Nine-Turn Golden Dragon Pill given by Gao Yunzhan.As the emperor, he already owed him a favor, and now that others wanted to see him, there was no reason for him not to go.

"You guys avoid it first." Emperor Huai Ming said to Concubine Liu Gui and Shen Qingli again.The person Shen Qingli doesn't want to see the most now is Gao Yunzhan. She took the hand of the Twelfth Prince and avoided the screen behind her.

Concubine Liu Gui followed behind them holding her handkerchief and hid behind the screen.

Gao Yunzhan's tall and straight figure appeared in Emperor Minghuai's sight the next moment.Today, he is wearing a dark blue python robe, and the python on his chest is showing its teeth and claws, but they are all suppressed by his gentle and humble face.

After seeing Emperor Ming Huai, he saluted Emperor Ming Huai humbly.

"Junior Gao Yunzhan, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Xiliang Kingdom. I wish you all the best, His Majesty the Emperor."

Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty immediately compared him with Mu Yunheng. Although Mu Yunheng was gentle and modest, he was still slightly inferior to Gao Yunzhan in appearance.

"When I was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, I often heard my father mentioning you, Your Majesty. He said that he had the honor to meet you once." Gao Yunzhan arched his hands with a soft expression on his face, "This time I came to Xiliang Kingdom, and I also want to replace the younger generation. Father, see you, His Majesty the Emperor."

The Northern Qi Dynasty had great soldiers and powerful generals, with a wealth of talents.

Back then, when rebels broke out in Xiliang, and when he fled Liangjing in a panic, he also sent people to Northern Qi to borrow troops from the emperor of Northern Qi.At that time, the Imperial Master of Northern Qi made divination, saying that their Queen of Northern Qi was the Demon Empress, and if the Demon Empress did not die if she was pregnant with the evil seed, the whole Northern Qi would be overthrown by their mother and child.

The demon queen tried to lead people to escape to Xiliang country.The Northern Qi emperor married this empress back then just to ascend the throne as emperor, and he had no affection for the empress.Hearing what the national teacher said, he naturally brought someone to Xiliang country to intercept and kill him.

It was also because of this that he was lucky enough to meet the Northern Qi Emperor.

It was true that the Northern Qi Emperor borrowed some soldiers from him at that time, but there were conditions...

At that time, their agreement seemed to be... a long time ago, and the agreement was made hastily at that time.

Gao Yunzhan's clear voice sounded like a quiet spring again in the hall, "His Majesty the Emperor of Xiliang, you should still remember the agreement with the younger father. You agreed at that time that if the child in your queen's womb is a daughter If so, then she is the wife of the prince. If the child in your queen's womb is a boy, then sworn brotherhood with the prince."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Huai of Ming sent another greeting to Mrs. Shen in his heart.
