Chapter 126: Bitter smile

Friends who haven't seen each other for a long time will inevitably be embarrassed to see each other again, and I don't know how to speak, not to mention that Qi Niang has no other thoughts at this time, fortunately, Chu Lie is self-cooked, and he is not embarrassed by Qi Niang.

"Qi Niang! I thought that Xiao Dezi fooled me, I never thought that you were really out of the palace",

Qi Niang didn't know Xiao Dezi, listening to Chu Lie's tone, thinking that he was close to Xiao Guy, so he didn't ask too much, and repeated what he had said, "Your Majesty promised a one-day period......

“…………”

Excitement turned into embarrassment, and then silence, Chu Lie didn't know what to say for a while, the last time they met was at the Lantern Festival banquet, at that time, he only felt that Qi Niang was in a hurry, looking at his eyes panicked and helpless, thinking that it was not good to come to the palace, but the palace was not something he could come and go freely, but he was afraid that he would be powerless about her situation.

But Chu Lie is not such a careless person, after returning to the house that day, he sent a personal servant, that is, Xiao Dezi to keep an eye on the General's Mansion, thinking that Qi Niang must have something to do with the General's Mansion must be the first to know, but he never thought that he would wait for Qi Niang to leave the palace, which is also the reason why he was surprised.

It's just that he never thought that Qi Niang's departure from the palace was actually promised by His Majesty, but in just over a month, Chu Lie actually had a feeling that things were wrong, and his blood was blocked, and he couldn't vent it, so he could only be silent.

He always thought that he had a chance, after all, she and Wang Shilang were already so ......

As for Xie An, Chu Lie knew that with Qi Niang's "reputation" in Beijing now, Rao is Xie An's clever tongue, and Old Lady Xie would never agree to this marriage, so he waited, and even mentioned it to his sister Princess Le, but Qi Niang had already entered the palace at that time.

I never thought that after a long time, it should be a beautiful day.

The atmosphere between the two fell silent for a while, and Qi Niang was helpless, but she couldn't be so silent, but before he could speak, he was frightened by Chu Lie's words.

"I knew that I wouldn't have let my sister recommend you to the queen in the first place."

"What did you say!?"

Suddenly hearing the shocking news from Chu Lie's mouth, Qi Niang was stunned for a while, and then suddenly, she had been wondering about the decree of Yi, she was a commoner in a border city, had no power or power, and even had a "bad reputation" in Jianye, how could the queen mother summon herself to Beijing to participate in the palace banquet?

It turned out to be Princess Le, and Qi Niang thought of the majestic and amiable woman, and lost her mind for a while.

She made Chu Lie misunderstand like this, thinking that she was dissatisfied with Princess Le, after all, Princess Le could be regarded as indirectly pushing her into the besieged city. Afraid that Qi Niang would have some misunderstanding, Chu Lie hurriedly explained, "You don't blame my sister, blame me, meddle in things, it's self-defeating."

"Huh?" Qi Niang was puzzled, but fortunately, Chu Lie immediately explained,

"At the beginning, I saw that you were so lonely in Jianye, and your mother ......" Chu Lie glanced at Qi Niang, and seeing that she didn't react much, he continued, "Your stepmother obviously doesn't care much about you, and even has a secret heart, and that Wang Shilang is even more unbearable, so ...... So ......"

"So you asked the princess to summon me into the capital with a decree?"

Qi Niang could only smile bitterly at this time, she couldn't imagine that Yi Zhi would be so laughable, she understood Chu Lie's meaning, and she also knew the nature of the Lantern Festival banquet, if it was according to Chu Lie's meaning, fighting for the status of the queen's mother, how could she have a happy marriage after the palace banquet, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

Even Qi Niang herself didn't know why His Majesty would treat her so specially, and Chu Lie couldn't have imagined it at the beginning.

It's just that it's too late to say anything now, Chu Lie is also kind-hearted, how can Qi Niang bear to blame, and now in such a situation, she still needs Chu Lie's help......

Thousands of thoughts can only turn into sighs, deep.

Chu Lie wanted to comfort, but he didn't know what to say, and the two fell silent again, but this time it was Qi Niang who broke it first, "There is one thing, I want to ask Gongzi Chu for help......"

"Qi Niang, don't see outside, just call me Chu Lie, what do you have but it doesn't matter, don't say anything else, as long as you can help, do your best and die", Chu Lie was also full of guilt and helplessness, listening to Qi Niang's hesitant tone for help, he hurriedly spoke, for fear that if he said it was too late, Qi Niang hesitated again, and there would be no chance to make up for it.

"Thank you so much Young Master Chu...... Chu Lie",

Seeing Chu Lie's insistence, Qi Niang didn't bother with the title, knowing that he was guilty, he said, "I went to see Lord Le that day!" ”

Qi Niang said, her eyes staring at Chu Lie, seeing that he was just confused, and then said, "King Le and my mother are old acquaintances, and he told me something about my mother."

"I see", Chu Lie suddenly said, "Qi Niang wants me to help inquire about your mother?" ”

"Well, what the prince said that day was vague, I want to know more about my mother......" Qi Niang's face was remembrance, but her heart was not calm, in fact, she had a bold guess, guessing that His Majesty's attitude might be related to her mother, otherwise by herself, how could she arouse his interest.

But this speculation is really bold, and it involves the emperor's privacy, after all, she has heard countless versions of the emperor's deep love in the palace, and now she is in Xianfu Palace, Qi Niang did not dare to confirm it at will, so she had to ask Chu Lie, who was familiar with King Le, and hoped that he could find out some useful information.

After all, if it's really because of her mother, then she has to make some corrections to some strategies, no one wants to be bound, and Qi Niang also wants to live, live freely.
