"You are Fan Xian, and you wrote the Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Disappointment and great disappointment, this was Zhan Doudou’s first reaction when he saw his idol.

"The Red Mansion is my humble work."

"Oh"

Because he hadn't had time to confirm the other party's identity, Zhan Doudou only looked at Guo Baokun's appearance and instantly gave up an idea that he had originally thought of.

Since Yan Bingyun was not captured, there was no such mess as exchanging prisoners;

The Kingdom of Qing sent back the spy Si Lili with great sincerity, so the ministers of Northern Qi did not pose many provocations.

Seeing that he had passed the first hurdle, Guo Baokun presented the national gifts that Li Chengqian had asked him to bring, and explained the origins of each gift one by one.

…………

"This is the Dream-Seeking Fairy Pillow, woven from the Dream-Seeking Fairy Grass specially provided by the royal family of Qing. Using it as a pillow, you can fall asleep peacefully even if you are worried."

"Oh, that's true."

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi, who had been silent before, spoke for the first time.

"I dare not lie to you. Your Majesty will know once you try."

"Queen, let's let the imperial physician examine this first."

Jinyiwei leader Shen Zhong stepped forward and said.

"you…"

"You shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. I don't think Ambassador Fan would be surprised... or is there really something wrong with this pillow?"

Even if ten Guo Baokuns were tied together, they would still not be a match for Shen Zhong. Seeing how incompetent he was, Zhan Doudou became even more disappointed.

Of course there was nothing wrong with the Dream-Seeking Fairy Pillow, or rather, the problem was not found by the imperial physician, so Guo Baokun landed safely.

Chapter 255 Imperial Concubine

Originally, she thought that she would spend the rest of her life alone with the young lady in the royal villa, but she never expected that things would develop like this in just a few days. Nie Xiaoqin could not help but sigh that this was the fate of life.

Two days ago, Li Chengqian issued an edict to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Lin Ruofu's daughter Lin Wan'er, and she moved into Huaqing Palace.

Just like the original enthronement of Ye Ling'er, no one thought this was a personal affair; in everyone's opinion, this was Li Chengqian's way of giving an explanation to Lin Ruofu, a lone minister.

Your Majesty is so kind...

"Miss, His Majesty has appointed you as the Imperial Consort. This is such a great favor. You should be happy."

Seeing Lin Wan'er's depressed look, Nie Xiaoqin tried to persuade her.

Happy? How can you make me happy?

When Lin Wan'er woke up that day, Li Chengqian was gone, but Li Yunrui was still there; the mother and daughter were lying on the same bed, talking to each other honestly. As someone who had experienced this, how could she not understand what had happened?

I am a sinful person. Not only did I kill my own brother, I also caused my mother and cousin to reach this point.

Lin Wan'er, you should go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn.

"The Queen has arrived"

The eunuch's call interrupted Lin Wan'er's fantasy. Today was her first day living in Huaqing Palace, and Fan Ruoruo, the mistress of the harem, came to check in.

"You all get out..."

Fan Ruoruo said to the palace maids and eunuchs around her.

"Miss?" Nie Xiaoqin glanced at Lin Wan'er.

"You go out."

Although I am weak and sickly, Fan Ruoruo is pregnant. She is not afraid, so why should I be afraid?

Just like that, after a while, only Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er, the former sister-in-law, were left in the huge room.

"Wan'er, I'm here to apologize to you on behalf of my brother."

Before this, Fan Ruoruo had wanted to look for Lin Wan'er, but was rejected by Li Chengqian on the grounds that she was pregnant and it was not easy to move around; this was the first time the two met after Fan Xian's mission to Northern Qi.

"Compensation, right?

If you apologize to me, will Fan Xian forgive me for the harm he has done to me, and will my brother be able to survive?"

Lin Wan'er smiled with tears in her eyes and sneered sadly.

"Wan'er, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. My brother is not a bad person. Lin Gong's death must not have been his intention."

Only a few people knew that Lin Wan'er had lost her virginity, so in Fan Ruoruo's opinion, Lin Gong's death was the cause of all the recent events.

Although she could no longer be sister-in-law, she didn't want to have any more enemies, so she sent her attendants away with her big belly and personally came to explain to Lin Wan'er.

"He is not a bad person. There are no bad people in this world. I was fooled by him and I deserved it. But why did he kill my brother? Why?"

Lin Wan'er complained at the top of her lungs, saying that no one knew how much pain she felt inside.

"The Emperor Arrives"

Li Chengqian arrived. As soon as he received the news that Fan Ruoruo was looking for Lin Wan'er, he put down the government affairs in his hands and rushed over anxiously.

Fortunately, they didn't fight. Seeing Fan Ruoruo looking guilty and Lin Wan'er crying like pear blossoms in the rain, Li Chengqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ruoruo, you go back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fan Ruoruo had to listen to Li Chengqian's words, and given the current situation, there was really no need for her to stay any longer.

"Wan'er, are you okay?"

"Cousin, I'm sorry..."

This was the first time the two met after that day. Lin Wan'er threw herself into Li Chengqian's arms and apologized.

"Okay, okay, my cousin doesn't blame you, and my aunt won't blame you either."

Li Chengqian is the only person who knows Lin Wan'er's mental journey, and he is also the initiator of all her current tragic experiences.

"Cousin, my mother..."

"My aunt left for her fiefdom this morning. Before she left, she asked me to take good care of you."

Even after becoming the emperor, the affair between Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui was still not allowed to be exposed; for safety reasons, Li Yunrui decided to return to his fiefdom. Anyway, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, as long as Li Chengqian wanted, the two could still stay together.

"Cousin, I..."

"Well, it has already happened, we should learn to look forward, don't let your imagination run wild and make me and my aunt worry."

After all, there is still a little bit of guilt, Li Chengqian comforted her.

"Your Majesty, Ye Cairen requests to see you."

Not only Li Chengqian but also Ye Ling'er got the news that Fan Ruoruo came to see Lin Wan'er; she came over despite fearing that her best friend would suffer.

"Let her in..."

"Your Majesty, I greet you, and the Imperial Concubine."

The concubine title given to Lin Wan'er by Li Chengqian was the highest except for the queen. Ye Ling'er who came in greeted the two of them.

"Qin'er, you don't have to be polite. You came just in time. Wan'er has been in a bad mood these days. When you have time, come over to her place more often and talk to her to relieve her boredom."

Li Chengqian completely treated Ye Ling'er as a tool.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Where is Ye Ling'er? She was originally alone in this deep palace, but now that Lin Wan'er, her good friend with whom she used to talk about everything, is here, she is so happy that she can't contain herself.

"Jinzhong, you should personally pay attention to the maids and eunuchs serving in Huaqing Palace. You should be smart and diligent. If the Imperial Concubine is dissatisfied with you, I will hold you accountable."

A new emperor appoints new ministers. After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, not only Qian Chunqiang was promoted, but Li Jinzhong was no exception.

On the night of Chongyang Festival, Hong Siyang was too badly injured to be saved, so for the sake of recycling, Li Chengqian made him into an ability card and used it on Li Jinzhong, so the steward Li in front of him also became a genuine ninth-grade master.

Hong Siyang was fortunate enough to become an ability card, and Si Gu Jian and Emperor Qing were naturally no exception. Now Li Chengqian has no shortage of high-end combat power.

.........

In a picturesque valley in Northern Qi, Ku He felt a little palpitation again; ever since she met Wu Zhu that day and agreed to help him look after Fan Xian, this feeling has appeared frequently.

"Come out"

After practicing Tianyi Dao for so many years, he did gain something. This could be seen from the fact that he felt his great calamity was approaching.

As soon as Ku He finished speaking, two men wearing conical hats and black red cloud coats appeared in front of him.

"Who are you?"

This is a master of the same level. Since when did the Grand Master become so worthless?

The visitor did not speak, but was answered by eight flying knives of different craftsmanship coming towards him.

"court death"

Although Ku He shouted so fiercely, he was actually ready to run away. However, after this fight, he found that he was overthinking.

Although the two people in front of him have the fighting power of a grandmaster, they do not have the grandmaster's experience in fighting enemies.

Stay calm, maybe we can win this time, I can counterattack.

It was this thought that made him lose his last chance to escape.

Palpitations and fear surged in his heart again. Before Ku He could react, he heard a crisp sound coming from behind.

Click

It was pain, severe pain, but it only lasted for a moment. Slowly, Ku He found that he had lost control of his body.

"Old man, I was going to spare you for Duoduo's sake, but you insisted on meddling in other people's business. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

After meeting Li Chengqian, this old man with cheating skills, Ku He finally followed in Si Gu Jian's footsteps.

Chapter 256: Dream-Seeking Fairyland

Baoyue Palace

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Haitang Duoduo missed her homeland again; she had only been in Nanqing for a short period of half a year, but these six months seemed longer to her than the first half of her life.

"Saint, it's late, you should go to bed."

"Xiaoyue, didn't I tell you that this is the Nanqing Palace, and you are not allowed to call me Saint Maiden anymore."

The Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, what a distant title; it really fits the saying that the past can only be savored, and I don’t know if Master and Doudou and the others still remember me, a traitor.

"Yes, Lady Li."

The little girl stuck out her tongue and changed the name.

Her name was Du Xiaoyue, and she was originally the daughter of an official family in Northern Qi. When the Nanqing army marched forward, there were many people like her whose families were destroyed. It was also fate that Haitang Duoduo saved her on the way to Nanqing, and now she has become a maid in Baoyue Palace.

"Your Highness, this afternoon His Majesty asked Eunuch Li to send some Northern Qi cakes and preserves. Would you like to try some?"

Seeing that Haitang Duoduo had no intention of going to bed, Du Xiaoyue suggested.

"Let me have a taste? You want to eat it yourself, so go and ask the kitchen staff to bring it to you."

Maybe it was because they got along well, or maybe it was because they felt sorry for each other and wanted to keep each other warm; Haitang Duoduo was very kind to Du Xiaoyue, and even treated her like her own sister.

About an incense stick of time later, Du Xiaoyue arrived with the eunuch who served the meal.

Every pastry and candied fruit in front of her was in the style of Northern Qi Dynasty. Haitang Duoduo felt hungry at the first sight.

"My lady, I didn't lie to you."

"Yes, yes, you didn't lie to me. Come and eat with us."

"My lady, please eat first."

If she is really just naive, she won't live long in the palace. Du Xiaoyue is obviously not that kind of person. She refused with great tact.

Haitang Duoduo also reacted in an instant. She did not call for the second time, but picked up a piece of cake and tasted it. However, she frowned after taking just one bite.

"What's wrong, my lady? Does it taste wrong?"

Du Xiaoyue thought Haitang Duoduo was not satisfied with the taste of the pastries, so she asked.
