Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 155 Choose Another Famous Daughter as Empress
Su Qingyuan slowly stepped out of the threshold, walked to the corridor, looked at Aunt Nian's dead body, and was in a daze.

"Your Majesty, the thief Su has been executed!" Gu Lingxiao returned with a bloody head in his hands.

Su Qingyuan staggered and leaned against the wall.

"A Yuan!" Lu Li hurried over to support her.

"Are they all dead?" Su Qingyuan asked in a hoarse voice as she leaned into his arms.

"You still have me." Lu Li hugged her carefully.

Su Qingyuan tried to break free from his hand, but suffered from lack of strength, so she still leaned on his chest.

She thought she was strong, but——

This feeling of spinning around, this loss of being abandoned in the midst of heaven and earth alone, is still beyond her imagination.

Before, she had never deeply felt the affection of her parents.However, just because you haven't got it doesn't mean you haven't expected it.But now, she no longer even has the qualifications to hope.

Gone.

Su Qingyuan refused to cry, but felt her throat sore.

Maybe my father was right and she was the one to be damned.

She could have had a chance to intercede for them.With Lu Li's love for her, it is not impossible to save her parents' lives.

But she didn't do that.

How unfilial...

Su Qingyuan thought to herself mockingly.

Lu Li couldn't stop comforting her.Su Qingyuan didn't even listen to a word of those comforting words.

Seeing that she couldn't stand still, Lu Li had no choice but to lift her up and send her back to his room.

After returning to the room, Su Qingyuan's vision gradually became clearer, and her throat finally became less blocked.

She grabbed Lu Li's sleeve and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there anything else you need? Stay here with me, okay?"

Of course Lu Li said "yes".

But Su Qingyuan actually didn't have anything to say to him.She was just suddenly a little afraid of being alone.

Lu Li didn't ask anything, he just hugged her quietly and lay down with her.

Lie down, and it's sunset time.

Because the two of them didn't even eat lunch, the courtiers and a few serving eunuchs were already in a hurry, so they finally pushed a small path and came over cautiously.

Xiaoluzi reported: "Ding Guogong is the master, he sent someone to buy a coffin, and buried Su... General Su and his wife together. What Ding Guogong means is that it is not a glorious thing for an important minister to rebel. Leaving a story for the historian to make a big deal about, it is better to make a big deal smaller and expose it if it can."

Su Qingyuan sat up slowly, her eye circles finally turned red.

Seeing this, Xiao Luzi added cautiously: "Of course, this is also for the face of the empress. The empress was born and died for the emperor, and she has never made a mistake in matters of right and wrong. The adults in the court can't bear to see the empress sad."

"They've learned to be good now!" Lu Li sneered and sighed softly.

To be honest, Lu Li was satisfied with the decision Duke Ding made without authorization.Just considering Su Qingyuan's mood at this time, he couldn't say a word "good".

Seeing that Su Qingyuan didn't react too aggressively, Lu Li felt a little relieved.

Xiao Luzi was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the opportunity to ask someone to serve the dinner.

Su Qingyuan wasn't in the mood to eat anything, and after being persuaded by Lu Li for half the night, she barely managed to drink half a bowl of porridge.

After lighting the lamp, the sound of rain outside the window did not stop, so Su Qingyuan decided to go for a walk.

Of course Lu Li would accompany him.

The two went downstairs together, only to see several important ministers of the court sitting in the hall, solemn and solemn, as if they were going to be judged in three halls.

Su Qingyuan frowned, and subconsciously hid behind Lu Li.

Lu Li unceremoniously pulled her out: "What are you hiding? They don't know how to bite!"

Su Qingyuan lowered her head, she didn't know why she suddenly became timid.

Lu Li held her in place, walked down two steps by himself, and looked her in the eye: "Listen——Su Yi never served as your backing when he was alive, so now that he's dead, you haven't lost anything. !You are still you, you can still be as rampant and lawless as ever, get it?"

"Understood." Su Qingyuan pulled the corners of her lips.

Lu Li immediately pulled her back into his arms, "It's good if you understand! Show off your domineering spirit! If those old bastards want to bully you, you can just scold them to death, and I will back you up." !"

"Lu Li, you're going to be a fool!" Su Qingyuan laughed.

Lu Li gave her a blank look: "You only know? With you here, how can I be a holy lord?"

"So, I'm a troublesome woman." Su Qingyuan smiled happily.

Lu Li nodded emphatically: "So, you have made me a fool, please take responsibility to the end."

"Don't worry, I will definitely harm you for the rest of your life." Su Qingyuan blinked her sore eyes and raised the corners of her lips.

When the two walked down the last step, the civil and military officials present gathered together and knelt down.

"You guys, what's the matter?" Lu Li frowned.

Duke Ding was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, about your empress..."

"What, are you going to cut grass and roots?" Su Qingyuan asked fiercely before Lu Li.

Duke Ding was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Of course not. What I mean is that you need to consider the matter of conferring the empress."

"Tell me what you think." Lu Li hugged Su Qingyuan and sat down together.

Duke Ding paused, gritted his teeth, and said: "The auspicious date selected by the Taibu Office is at the end of May, but at that time, the empress is still in the heat of filial piety, so it is really not suitable for a big wedding. Although the empress uses the identity of Miss Ling, her own birth Parents, after all, can't ignore it completely. If a big marriage collides with a murderous event, it will affect the fate of the country, so don't be careless."

Lu Li frowned, but did not refute.

Su Qingyuan thought about it carefully, and also felt that according to her current state of mind and situation, it would be a bit reluctant to get married immediately and happily.

Moreover, she could faintly guess another knot in the hearts of the courtiers - at the end of May, it was less than a year since the death of the first emperor.

This time also means that strictly speaking, Lu Li's filial piety period is not over.As for her, the interval between the two post-sealings was less than a year, which is also an unbelievable thing.

The courtiers did not accept it and there were reasons for not accepting it. It cannot be said that they are meddlesome.

Lu Li pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Since that's the case, let the Taibu Department pick a new date, after July."

Ding Guogong exchanged glances with several officials next to him, but hesitated.

Lu Li's expression turned ugly: "What else do you have to say?"

Ding Guogong looked a little embarrassed, obviously he was not willing to offend Lu Li's wrath.But obviously, he was elected by these officials, representing the will of the people, and it was not up to him to decide whether to speak or not.

So, after hesitating for a long time, he finally continued without confidence: "I think that your mother's background... Su Yi is a traitor. If you make a wrong move, it will be a fatal mistake for South Vietnam!"

The more Su Qingyuan heard it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but shoot up: "You mean, you are afraid that I will follow my father's rebellion in the future? May I ask the Duke, if I have the heart to rebel, why don't I just help my father?" Mother killed Lu Li and ruined the country of Nanyue? I didn't rebel when I should have rebelled most, when do you think I will rebel?"

Duke Ding blushed a little, and he said after a long time: "Your Majesty is a person, and the ministers and others are naturally trustworthy. It's just that everything in the world cannot be guaranteed without accidents, and Your Majesty is a wise and knowledgeable person, just in case..."

Su Qingyuan continued angrily: "If I am greedy for power, I will not be able to protect my ambitions in the future. For example, I suddenly want to take my son to play behind the curtain and listen to politics or something—is that what you mean?"

Ding Guogong said nothing, expressing his acquiescence.

Su Qingyuan sneered: "This is really an 'unnecessary charge'! According to the meaning of the Duke, I suspect that your old man is covering the sky with one hand in the court, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be disagreements. Can we act first and get rid of your old man so that we will never suffer from future troubles?"

Duke Ding blushed and wiped his sweat: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will definitely not dare to offend your Majesty, let alone accuse you of contempt for the court's laws."

Lu Li's black face: "You want to imagine that A Yuan will 'make a mistake in the future', and you want to flaunt yourself as 'not daring to despise the court's laws'. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Duke Dingguo said cautiously: "Your Majesty and the Emperor have a deep relationship, and I dare not speak falsely. It's just that the background of the 'daughter of a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' is a bit humble, and my Majesty's real identity is somewhat...For the sake of state affairs, the ministers are bold I beg the emperor to choose another daughter from a famous family to be the empress. The concubine's position as a concubine can avoid world controversy, secondly, she won't be bound by funeral rituals, thirdly, she can avoid troubles in the future, and fourthly..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Qingyuan sneered and said, "You mean, let me avoid the cusp and become an invisible person beside Lu Li, so that there will be no trouble, right?"

"Exactly." Duke Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qingyuan taunted: "You've got a good plan! Push me aside first, wait for Lu Li to establish a queen and give birth to a prince, and then persuade him to have more concubines... Sooner or later, I will be squeezed out of sight Go to the corner of the house——when the time comes, you can deal with me as you like, anyway, there have been women in this palace who have died for no apparent reason, and I am not one more!"

Dingguo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is the most beneficial choice for you at the moment! You and the emperor have been in the same boat for many years, and you will not easily disappear in the palace. If you insist on fighting for the position of the middle palace, the emperor The resistance in front of you will increase thousands of times—how can you bear it?"

"I can't bear it!" Su Qingyuan said coldly.

Duke Ding frowned, obviously blaming her for being ignorant.

Lu Li said in a deep voice, "I am willing to face those resistances, and it has nothing to do with A Yuan. At most, I can only accept delaying the wedding. As for setting up someone else as a queen and wronging A Yuan as a concubine—it is absolutely impossible!"

"The matter is very important, please think twice, Your Majesty!" Duke Ding was in a hurry.

Lu Li stretched out his hand and pointed to the row of windows in front.

Ding Guogong was puzzled.The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Lu Li twitched the corners of his lips and explained, "The weather in April is warm and cold, and the plantains in the courtyard are green and pleasing. Just in time for the sound of the rain, it is the time when literati and inkmen are full of poetry. If you feel that you are in a hurry, you can go to the window I listened to the rain before, and I casually picked up a few poems, maybe they will be famous forever, why bother to plan family affairs for me? Throughout the ages, the only loyal ministers who can leave a name in history are those who are "dead remonstrance". The price is too high , far less cost-effective than writing poetry.”

Su Qingyuan couldn't hold back, she covered her mouth and smiled for a long time, then squinted her eyes and said: "That's right, being a loyal minister is not as good as being a poet! Those who plan family affairs for others every day are 'housekeepers' in ordinary people's houses, but in palace Here is the 'chief officer', that is, the 'big eunuch'!"

The officials were already furious after hearing Lu Li's words, and when Su Qingyuan finished speaking, their faces turned completely blue.

Su Qingyuan didn't feel that she was going too far.

Lu Li didn't think so either.

The two stood up hand in hand, ready to go out first to listen to the rain.

Ding Guogong was not reconciled, and all the officials were not reconciled.

What little affection they had for Su Qingyuan had been worn down.Seeing Su Qingyuan now, the first thing they thought of was "ignorance", "disrespect" and "proud of being favored".

An official who seemed to belong to the Ministry of Rites stood up and questioned Su Qingyuan: "The emperor is willing to risk the disgrace of the world for you, why can't the empress back down for the emperor? How can you be the king of the world if you are so proud of favors and so ignorant of proportion?" mother!"

Su Qingyuan stood still and looked at him playfully, "If it's for Lu Li's sake, I can give up a single step, even if I give up [-] steps, it won't be a problem! But Lu Li doesn't need me to back down, it's you who need me to back down! You didn't do me any favors, you didn't risk the world's dissatisfaction for me, and you didn't go through life and death with me—why should I back down this step for you?"

Lu Li hugged her tightly in a funny way, and twisted her waist.

Su Qingyuan curled her lips and muttered softly, "Besides, if I backed down for other men, Lu Li would be jealous!"

The official from the Ministry of Rituals thought he was eloquent and wanted to take this opportunity to show off, but he didn't expect to be unfavorable, and he blushed immediately with embarrassment.

Su Qingyuan leaned into Lu Li's arms, and said leisurely, "You object, it's your business; Lu Li and I want to insist, but it's our business. Anyway, no matter how much you object, I will be Lu Li's official wife. He would rather die than be a concubine, and he will never be allowed to take a concubine in his lifetime! If you don’t agree, come and beat me to death!”

Lu Li smiled until his eyes were narrowed, but all the officials were so angry that they shouted, "It's unreasonable".

Su Qingyuan saw that everyone only had the energy to curse people and no longer had the mood to be reasonable, so with a triumphant smile, she took Lu Li's arm and strode out the door arrogantly, walking down the corridor.

Lu Li was very satisfied with her performance this time.

Across a corridor, Su Qingyuan looked at the officials in the hall who were furiously yelling, and covered her mouth timidly: "By the way, they won't really send someone to assassinate me, will they?"

Lu Li patted her on the head and said with a smile, "They don't dare. That's a big crime against the three clans."

Su Qingyuan immediately smiled proudly.

Lu Li held her hand, lowered his head, "I love what you said just now."

"Isn't it? I said that you are not allowed to take concubines, do you like to hear it?" Su Qingyuan's eyes widened.

Lu Li smiled: "With you here, I'm afraid I don't have the time or energy to take any more concubines. Also, what I like to hear the most is not this, but—you didn't say that you must be a queen, but you said that you must be my concubine." 'Main wife'."

"Is there a difference?" Su Qingyuan asked with a smile.

Lu Li nodded, "If those old bastards persist, I will issue an edict to abdicate. I was a little worried at first, fearing that you would dislike me for not being an emperor in the future, but I am not afraid now."

Su Qingyuan's eyes widened in panic, "It's over, I made a slip of the tongue! If you become a beggar in the future, wouldn't I become a beggar woman? This doesn't seem too good!"

Lu Li stretched out his hand and pinched her face: "It's too late to regret it now, you have to follow me from now on! If I'm an emperor, you'll be a queen; if I'm a beggar, you'll be a beggar woman—very good!"

"I don't think it's very good..." Su Qingyuan felt aggrieved.

Lu Li pressed her into his arms and laughed loudly, "Don't worry, you won't be a beggar in this lifetime!"

Su Qingyuan raised her head and glared at him, not sure.

Lu Li saw her slander, and laughed again.

After arguing for a while, most of the depression in Su Qingyuan's heart dissipated, and she finally felt a little relieved.

The rain has not stopped, and the cold water vapor permeates the corridor, making it foggy.

Tired of laughing, Su Qingyuan's brows were filled with sadness again.

Lu Li wiped the stone bench with his sleeve, hugged her and sat down, without saying a word for a long time.

Su Qingyuan leaned on his shoulder and asked after a long time: "I think you seem to have something on your mind. Is it because of the wedding?"

Lu Li sighed softly, but didn't answer.

Su Qingyuan looked up at him and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't care that much. If they insist on objecting, you can cancel the canonization gift! I've been with you for so long without a name I don't mind continuing to mess around - as long as you don't deny your child!"

At the mention of "children", Lu Li's brows furrowed even tighter.

Su Qingyuan was keenly aware of this.Thinking of the missing child, she couldn't help feeling sad.

After sitting sullenly for a while, Su Qingyuan finally sighed: "Lu Li, even if the courtiers don't object, the canonization matter will have to be put on hold for a while. If the child can't be found, I can't enjoy the leisure and wealth with you at ease. "

Lu Li suddenly turned around.

Su Qingyuan lost her support and almost fell, she couldn't help being shocked.

Lu Li quickly supported her, flustered and guilty, and said "I'm sorry" dozens of times.

Su Qingyuan laughed: "Why have you become so reckless? Do you still think you are a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old?"

Lu Li followed with a laugh, and then sighed sadly: "A Yuan, if the child can't be found, you... what do you think?"

"I won't find it, I will keep looking for it." Su Qingyuan said seriously.

Lu Li was a little anxious: "We don't have any clues right now, we've been looking... how can we find it? Where can we find it?"

Su Qingyuan bit the corner of her lips, and looked at him seriously: "I can roughly guess his whereabouts. Anyway, I have nothing to do, just take a tour of the mountains and rivers, I think I can always find him."

Lu Li thought for a long time, and finally sighed with a smile: "So, I must abdicate."

"No need, I'll go find the child without delaying your becoming emperor!" Su Qingyuan frowned.

Lu Li clasped her wrist and sighed, "How could I let you run around alone? No matter what, I will accompany you to do this matter."

Su Qingyuan felt that it was unnecessary.But seeing Lu Li's serious expression, she felt very at ease.

Lu Li said with some guilt: "Unfortunately, I couldn't find any useful clues from Auntie Nian. She refused to tell where the child was hidden until she died."

Su Qingyuan was not surprised by this result: "It's no wonder she is willing to say it! She hates your father to death, so even if she knew that she was going to die soon, she would not agree to me being with you."

Lu Li heaved a long sigh, and thought: Not only did she not agree, she also cursed.

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, and added: "If your father is still alive, he will not agree."

"He will." Lu Li hurriedly said.

Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a long time, but still didn't believe it: "Why did he agree? Because I can barely be considered a daughter of the witch clan? If it was that reason, he would agree to let me give you a child, but he would not agree. You married me."

"It's not the reason," Lu Li said earnestly, "Actually, General Su and Aunt Nian may not really object... They just hated it for too many years and couldn't save face and change their mouths."

"Really?" Su Qingyuan was dubious.

Lu Li nodded emphatically: "Of course it's true. Before the two elders died, they didn't resent anyone. They just talked about some old things, and they regretted that they separated for 16 years because of a misunderstanding. Although they didn't say it, I did. Know that they must love you."

When Su Qingyuan heard this, her eye circles turned red again.

Lu Li hugged her and sat firmly, sighed, "My father was at fault for this matter, I... really don't know how to make it up. A Yuan, I owe you too much."

Su Qingyuan sneered: "You said it yourself, it's a debt owed by your father, are you still going to pay your father's debt?"

Lu Li nodded.

Su Qingyuan burrowed into his arms, and said with a smile: "I don't want to take advantage of you! What your father owes is my mother, not me! You just need to treat me well, those old debts, I don't want to ask for it for my mother!"

"Such a generous creditor is rare in the world." Lu Li praised sincerely.

Su Qingyuan laughed with a "sneer".

Lu Li habitually patted her on the back, and after a long time he said in a hoarse voice, "A Yuan, Aunt Nian said before she died...if she dies, someone will kill our child."

Su Qingyuan froze, and then sneered again: "Did you listen to her nonsense? Of those people under her, how could any one follow her sincerely? When she died, those people she controlled with witchcraft would also follow her." Sober up, who is free to kill a child for her? According to me, it is more likely that someone will take the initiative to send the child back to me after she dies!"

Lu Li thought about it carefully, and felt that what she said was reasonable.

Su Qingyuan lay down on Lu Li's lap, and smiled lazily: "Tell me, if my parents don't like me and you so much, is there any other reason besides hating your father? For example The mystery of life experience or something..."

"What do you want to say?" Lu Li straightened his face.

"What are you thinking?" Su Qingyuan asked back.

Lu Li was suddenly annoyed, so he stood up abruptly, picked up Su Qingyuan and carried it to his shoulder: "I think the biggest reason is that you owe a lesson!"
