If that's the case...it would be a big loss!

...

Li Chengyuan straightened his clothes.

Nangong didn't even bother to use his true Qi when kicking him, so Li Chengyuan wasn't hurt at all.

Just when Li Chengyuan wanted to go in again to take a look, he saw that Nangong Pushe had changed into new clothes.

Although he was still dressed in snow-white this time, he had a light silver snow phoenix embroidered pattern on it, which added a touch of nobility to Nangong Pushe's cold temperament, making him look even more awe-inspiring!

Nangong came in front of Li Chengyuan, her pretty face slightly red, and she looked at him with shame and anger in her eyes.

Li Chengyuan smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "Nangong, don't get me wrong, this is really an accident. I just wanted to show you my newly acquired peerless sword!"

As he spoke, Li Chengyuan raised the Taiping sword in his hand and showed it to Nangong Pushe.

Nangong Pushe looked down and his eyes lit up instantly.

He reached out and snatched the knife from Li Chengyuan's hand, then after looking at it, took off the scabbard, revealing the Taiping sword engraved with mysterious knife patterns.

Nangong Pushe waved the sword casually, flicked the blade, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's an excellent sword!"

"Of course!" Li Chengyuan smiled. "Nangong, with this knife, I won't have to fight with you for Xiudong and Chunlei!"

However, when Nangong Pushe heard this, he couldn't help but frowned.

If I don't fight with her for the knife, doesn't that mean... I don't need her to be by my side all the time?

Glancing at Li Chengyuan, Nangong pursed his lips and said, "I think your knife is very good. Lend it to me for a few days to admire it!"

After saying that, Nangong flashed back into the car with the Taiping sword in hand.

"???"

Li Chengyuan was dumbfounded.

The knife you just got is gone again?

This is not possible!

Li Chengyuan's eyes moved slightly, he chuckled, then stomped his feet again and jumped into the carriage.

This time, Nangong did not refuse him again.

Chapter 191 Si Lili returns to the palace! Li Chengyuan wrote a love poem to Si Lili!

The sky is slightly bright.

In the Qi Palace, the young emperor Zhan Doudou got up before dawn to eat and then reviewed memorials.

Although the Queen Mother is in power in Qi now, the young emperor apparently has no power.

But in fact, the Queen Mother of Qi did this just to divide the court and help the young emperor stabilize the situation.

In fact, the Queen Mother of Qi and the young emperor were of the same mind, and this was just their plan.

Zhan Doudou was actually forced into this job.

She was born a girl and had no chance of becoming emperor.

But things are unpredictable. Not long after she was born, her father, Emperor Zhan Qingfeng, died on the battlefield.

In order to stabilize the political situation, the Queen Mother had no choice but to let Zhan Doudou disguise herself as a man and ascend the throne to become emperor.

In fact, in terms of national strength, Qi has always been stronger than Qing.

There is a reason why the State of Qi has always claimed to be orthodox and called the State of Qing the Southern Barbarians.

Because when the previous dynasty Wei was destroyed, most of the court officials at that time inherited it and moved to Qi. It can be said that Qi gathered most of the literati in the world.

The Kingdom of Qing grew up in a barbaric environment, so it is normal for it to be called the Southern Barbarians.

So in fact, Qi was stronger than Qing in terms of national strength and cultural literacy.

Even the people of Qi were proud to be Qi people.

However, the State of Qi suffered successive defeats in recent years, which ultimately stemmed from internal discord.

Ever since the death of the previous emperor Zhan Qingfeng, the State of Qi has been in the midst of civil war.

As a result, they were even defeated by the Kingdom of Qing this time and almost had to cede land and pay compensation.

If it weren't for the traitor Li Yunrui in Qing State, their Qi State would have at least been skinned alive this time!

So now Zhan Doudou appears calm on the surface, but in fact he is more anxious than anyone else.

She was actually taking a risk by letting Li Chengyuan come to Beijing this time.

She was betting that Li Chengyuan was in crisis for the throne and needed external help!

He went north this time just to seek her help!

As long as Li Chengyuan asked her for help, she could take the opportunity to interfere in the government of Qing State.

Then, the Qing State will be disintegrated from within, buying time for the Qi State.

Zhan Doudou was very confident at the beginning.

After all, she knew very well how chaotic the succession struggle in Qing Kingdom was.

Their eldest princess even sold out her country for this, which shows how crazy they are.

Therefore, she firmly believed that Li Chengyuan came to ask for help.

But recently, as one secret letter after another was sent back to the palace, Zhan Doudou became more and more confused!

Uesugi Tiger was captured and suddenly escaped!

After the Northern Qi delegation passed through customs, they refused to return Sean and Si Lili!

There is no news from the little nun Haitang Duoduo!

All these things showed that Li Chengyuan came with bad intentions.

He doesn't seem to be asking for help at all!

Is it to gain the upper hand and build momentum?

In the garden, Zhan Doudou stood up distractedly, put one hand behind his back, looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, and was in a daze.

Finally, at a certain moment, the young eunuch suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Saint and Miss Si are outside seeking an audience!"

Zhan Doudou's face instantly lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and announce it!"

Soon, Haitang Duoduo, Si Lili, and Shu Xiu, who looked curious, walked in.

"See Your Majesty!"

Haitang Duoduo and Si Lili both bowed, and Zhan Doudou said hurriedly, "Come on, don't be so formal. Lili, Little Sister-in-law, come and sit down!"

Zhan Doudou pointed to the seat next to her.

Haitang Duoduo and Si Lili both knew Zhan Doudou's personality, so they nodded and sat down obediently.

But this made Shu Xiu feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Shu Xiu was thick-skinned and didn't take it as an offense at all. She stood directly behind Si Lili.

"Who is this?" Zhan Doudou looked at Shu Xiu in confusion and asked.

"Your Majesty!" Si Lili replied, "This is Shu Xiu, entrusted by Cheng Yuan to protect me!"

"Chengyuan? Li Chengyuan?" Zhan Doudou's eyes narrowed, then he looked up and ordered, "A guest is a guest. Come, take Miss Shuxiu down to rest. Treat her well and don't neglect her!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Xiu frowned and looked at Si Lili.

Si Lili nodded to her.

Shu Xiu was silent for a moment, said nothing, and left.

She strictly followed Li Chengyuan's words.

Li Chengyuan asked her to listen to Si Lili, so she would only listen to Si Lili!

After Shu Xiu left, Zhan Doudou frowned and asked Si Lili, "Lili, what does Li Chengyuan mean? Did he send someone to monitor you?"

"No!" Si Lili said softly, "Cheng Yuan was afraid that I would be in danger after returning, so he asked Shu Xiu to protect me!"

"Is it really just protection?" Zhan Doudou was a little skeptical.

Si Lili nodded and said, "It's really just protection. Cheng Yuan has nothing to monitor me. He allows me to do whatever I want and say whatever I want. Lili has no reservations about telling anyone!"

Zhan Doudou looked at Haitang Duoduo in surprise.

Haitang Duoduo curled her lips and said, "That's true, that guy is very calculating. He is both honest and cautious with Lili.

Lili knew everything clearly about the unimportant things and told me everything.

But the important thing was that Li Chengyuan didn't tell her anything.

Moreover, Li Chengyuan told Lili clearly what to do because he was afraid that she would be in a dilemma at this time.

That guy has a good excuse, and he made it sound very plausible!"

"It seems that Little Sister-in-law and Li Chengyuan are already very familiar with each other?" Zhan Doudou asked with a solemn and curious heart, "Can you tell me what you know first?"

Haitang Duoduo and Si Lili looked at each other, and Si Lili took the initiative to say, "Then let me tell you!"

"Thank you for your help!" Zhan Doudou immediately acted as if he was listening attentively.

Si Lili pursed her lips and began to talk to Doudou.

It starts from when he went to hide in Qing Kingdom and ends when he returned to Northern Qi with Li Chengyuan.

She told everything that happened during this period.

In fact, Si Lili didn’t know much.

When she was in the palace, she basically stayed at home so as not to expose herself.

I never hang out with Hongshu and the others, so naturally I don’t know much.

Of course, even so, everything she said was enough to scare Zhan Doudou.

Because the situation Li Chengyuan faced was not what she thought at all!
