100. Who will win this time?
Chapter 100: Who Will Win This Time?
"Of course it's not that simple." Lu Li smiled slightly, unfathomable.
Su Qingyuan's eyes widened: "It's not that simple, is there another reason?" You are really half-hearted, knowing that she has bad intentions and uses three indiscriminate tricks to harm me, but you still can't resist her temptation! She's smart and well-behaved, and she's not like I'm a pot-bellied woman...... Are you already planning to get along with her? β
"Really jealous?" Lu Li felt a little funny.
Su Qingyuan flattened her mouth and lowered her head and didn't want to speak.
Lu Li had no choice but to hold her wrist and said with a smile: "Su Qingluan has always been cowardly, and today's move should be the bravest thing she has ever done in her life." Since she is willing to spend such thoughts, there must be a reason behind it. If I don't invite her on stage, how can I see what characters are going to appear behind her? β
Su Qingyuan was suspicious, and thought for a long time before asking, "Do you suspect that she was instructed by someone?" Is it Su Yi? β
Lu Li shook his head and smiled: "I don't know who it is, in short, it must be a big fish." This time, let's be a good fisherman. β
Su Qingyuan was still worried, but Lu Li suddenly turned over and threw her down, her eyes shining: "Ah Kite, do you have something to say to me?" β
Su Qingyuan looked into his eyes closely, and shook his head blankly: "No." β
Lu Li rubbed the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "Don't try to hide it from me!" After I left the table, what did you say to them, someone came back and told me the truth! β
"What did I say?" Su Qingyuan was a little confused.
Lu Li's eyes were crooked with a smile: "You taught Jing Min a lesson, saying that she is not worthy of being an example for the concubines; Su Qingluan mentioned to you what happened after the establishment, and you left the table angrily! β
Su Qingyuan twisted her brows and thought carefully for a while, a little unsure: "Is this the case?" β
Lu Li nodded lightly and smiled again: "So, it's not that you're not jealous, but you don't like to be jealous in front of me - you're shy, aren't you?" β
"Are you thinking too much......" Su Qingyuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Lu Li showed a smile of "I understand": "It's not that I think too much, but you act well!" Your careless look at the table almost deceived me by you! If Xiao Luzi hadn't told me the rest of the story, I wouldn't have spared you today! β
Su Qingyuan thought for a while, and raised his hand against his face: "So, you obviously know that I am angry, not only do you refuse to coax me to persuade me, but you also want to beat me up, didn't you send me here?" β
"That's not ...... either," Lu Li's smile was a little stiff.
Su Qingyuan glared at him angrily: "I'm already very tired from dealing with your group of warblers and Yanyan outside, so it's easy to come back and rest for a while, and I have to be calculated by you, and I have to bother to coax you!" What life do I owe you? β
Lu Li smiled "hehe", leaned his face into Su Qingyuan's ear, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will be annoyed!" β
The more Su Qingyuan thought about it, the more angry she became, and she raised her elbow to resist him: "I'm really angry now, don't you want to come over again!" β
"Oh, I'm not going." Lu Li agreed very happily.
Su Qingyuan's heart was even more angry for no reason.
Lu Li really didn't come over again, because he really didn't need to "come over" anymore. His body was tightly pressed against Su Qingyu, tightly sealed, and he really couldn't "make up".
Not only that, but he was even more restless at Su Qingyuan's body, in addition to having a free arm to support his body, he couldn't wait to wrap all his limbs around Su Qingyuan's body.
Su Qingyuan naturally tried her best to hide at first, but there was only so much space on the couch, and she was encircled in someone's arms, where could she hide?
Since you can't dodge, rubbing around like this, the atmosphere is a little delicate.
"Kite." Lu Li whispered in her ear.
"Hmm...... Well? Su Qingyuan looked at him lazily in a daze.
Lu Li smiled: "It's dark at night, let's-it's time to go to bed." β
"Then please 'go to bed' honestly and don't do too much." Su Qingyuan frowned.
Lu Li leaned over to pick her up, turned the screen and ran into the inner hall: "You really can't be 'troubled'?" So what are you doing around my waist? β
Su Qingyuan's face flushed slightly.
Lu Li opened the tent and put her in, leaned over and chuckled: "You like it there, you can say it directly." I'm good at the waist and shouldn't let you down. β
"Get out!" Su Qingyuan raised her foot and kicked him on the waist.
Lu Li grabbed her foot and shook it hard.
Su Qingyuan was shocked.
"Ah kite, you are so enthusiastic today." Lu Li smiled sheepishly, grabbed her ankle and pulled it to her side, and Su Qingyuan had to come up by herself.
Her body was originally bulky, but now she had nowhere to do it, and she could only be completely at his mercy.
"Lu Li, you bastard!" Su Qingyuan screamed and grabbed the back of Lu Li's hand.
Lu Li laughed: "But you like it!" β
Su Qingyuan was anxious and angry: "I like a ghost!" I'm starving, can you ......?"
"Don't worry, you'll not be hungry soon." Lu Li pounced on him familiarly, stretched out his hand to his future son's rice bowl, and swallowed fiercely.
"Lu Li, can you control it a little......" Su Qingyu, whose stomach was still growling, was deeply desperate.
***
In Yanxi Palace, the ground is full of messes, full of fragments of cups and saucers.
Xiuniang clasped her hands to her chest, leaned on the screen and looked at Su Qingluan: "Niangniang, save some effort!" Everything is smashed, and it is you who will be inconvenient at that time, so why bother? β
Su Qingluan propped her hands on the dressing table, looking at the hideous-looking woman in the mirror, trembling all over.
Xiuniang looked at her mockingly: "Niangniang, don't make trouble!" The emperor knows that your belly is fake, how can you be deceived by such a ridiculous excuse as 'having a fetal gas'? Besides, the emperor is in Fanghua Palace at this time, which of the people serving in front of him is willing to disturb your trivial things without interest? Even if the servants in our palace go, they won't be able to get to the emperor! In this cold day, you are more or less considerate and considerate of the minions, why bother to ask them to run this leg in vain! β
"I'm going to die, doesn't he care?" Su Qingluan turned around abruptly and roared.
Xiuniang narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Aren't you still dead?" β
Su Qingluan looked at the mirror and was stunned for a long time.
Xiuniang let out a sneer, turned around and walked out.
The door slammed, making Su Qingluan tremble.
She subconsciously raised her hand to protect her lower abdomen, but she didn't touch anything.
Only then did she remember that when she quarreled with Xiuniang just now, she had already taken off her "belly" and threw it away.
If you tell a lie for a long time, even you will believe it. Su Qingluan was forced to be a pregnant woman for several months, and she almost completely believed that she had a child in her womb.
However, what is fake is false after all.
The child is in someone else's womb and will never belong to her.
Su Qingluan's heart tingled.
She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, and finally smiled slowly.
On the candlestick by the mirror, a red candle flickered, emitting a soft light.
Su Qingluan reached out and grabbed the candlestick and threw it towards his bed net.
The candle rolled onto the mattress and was already extinguished.
Su Qingluan was so angry that he casually pushed down the mirror and grabbed the gauze lamp on the windowsill again.
Her hand was crooked, and a flame suddenly burst out on the lampshade.
Su Qingluan hurriedly ran to the bed tent with the burning yarn lamp in his hand and let go of his hand.
Xiuniang heard movement outside and broke in.
Seeing this scene, her face changed, she hurriedly beckoned outside twice, and then casually tore off the cotton curtain on the door and rushed into the hall.
By this time, the fire on the bed had spread, and the flames were more than a foot high.
Su Qingluan desperately hugged Xiuniang's waist and did not allow her to come forward to save.
Xiuniang shouted as she struggled, and watched the flames drift into the tent little by little.
The brightly painted bedposts quickly changed color, and small flames crept up the pattern.
The little eunuch who was keeping vigil under the porch rushed in and joined the ranks of the rescuers. Then came the little palace maids who served outside, and the eunuchs and grandmothers who heard the news......
At this time, the whole bed had already burned, and the flames had already reached a foot high.
The beams are also covered with flammable paint, and the situation is only getting more dangerous.
Su Qingluan let go of Xiuniang and rushed to the door, trying to stop the little eunuchs from scooping water in the big vat in the courtyard.
After some hectic work, the beams finally burned.
Su Qingluan was pressed by the little eunuchs, coughing and laughing in the corner: "He will come!" Ahem...... He's definitely coming! β
A piercing gong sounded, and the silence of the night was broken.
The people in the surrounding palace were also woken up, and countless people shouted in horror "Walking water", and the sound was heard far away in the night sky.
Half an hour later, Lu Li appeared in Yanxi Palace.
The fire had been brought under control, and the grizzled little eunuchs were carrying buckets of water and pouring water into the fire over and over again, and the charred wood made a "hissing" sound, and the smoke choked everyone coughing.
Lu Li's face darkened, and he found Su Qingluan in the corner, who couldn't stop crying.
"Your Majesty ......" Su Qingluan raised his head, the pear blossoms brought rain, and he was pitiful.
Lu Li only glanced at it, then turned around and entered the side hall.
Su Qingluan was carried in by the little eunuchs, and cried when he entered the door: "Your Majesty, I thought I wouldn't see you......"
"It's not good." Lu Li said in a deep voice.
Su Qingluan raised his head, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Lu Li hooked his lips slightly and sneered: "I told Xiuniang to pay attention to your safety, but I forgot to tell them - if you seek death by yourself, you don't have to stop it." β
Su Qingluan's smile stiffened before it could bloom.
Lu Li looked at her mockingly: "Is the fire you lit by yourself looking good when it burns?" β
Xiuniang came in from outside and knelt in front of Lu Li: "Concubine Niangniang probably thinks that the slave maid will not dare to tell the truth to the emperor." Failure to stop the mother from setting fire was a dereliction of duty on the part of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were willing to accept the guilt and did not complain. β
Su Qingluan's face was even more difficult to look at.
In the palace, arson is a capital offense. If the concubine commits such a big mistake, it is impossible for the slaves serving around her to stay out of it.
Su Qingluan thought that Xiuniang should say that the fire was an "accident" even if it was for herself. Unexpectedly, she miscalculated.
However, even if the estimation is wrong, she will not admit defeat like this.
Su Qingluan gritted his teeth and said in an astringent voice: "The concubine is guilty, but ...... The concubine just wanted to meet the emperor...... Xiuniang refused to invite, and the concubines could only make this decision......"
Lu Li turned his head to look at Xiuniang: "You're also tired, go down and rest first." β
Su Qingluan's fingers tightened.
Lu Li lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally looked up at her: "I can't think of any reason why I have to see you." β
Su Qingluan immediately continued: "But the concubine has a reason to see you!" The concubine has been in the palace for several months, and she has taken on the false name of seducing the emperor in vain, but she has never accepted a favor...... Your Majesty, how can you be so cruel to me! Qingluan knows that you and your sister have been in love for many years, and she doesn't dare to take the place of your sister in your heart, but she ...... You should always know that there is such a person as Qingluan in your palace, you should always know...... The concubine is your rightful concubine! β
Lu Li only glanced at Su Qingluan, and immediately looked away and sneered.
After Su Qingluan finished speaking, he frowned and asked, "Do you remember what you said when I proposed to make you a concubine?" β
Su Qingluan was silent for a long time.
Lu Li didn't urge her, just smiled mockingly, and then lowered his head to think about things again.
Su Qingluan suddenly stood up and cried: "Of course I remember, at that time I said that as long as it was for my sister, I would be willing to do anything!" But...... You weren't like this then! Now you only have your sister in your heart, where can you still put half of your mind on others! β
"So, you didn't really want to help your sister in the first place, but you wanted to take advantage of the rift between me and your sister to take advantage of the situation and take everything that originally belonged to your sister? You're acting so well just to deceive your sister's trust and deceive me at the same time, right? Lu Li sneered and hit the nail on the head.
Su Qingluan lowered his head and was silent.
Lu Li stood up: "Su Qingluan, you are ambitious, I can understand it, but you shouldn't hurt your sister!" The few things you helped your father do before have touched my bottom line. The only reason I'm willing to keep your life is because your sister still needs you, you know? β
"So, after my sister gave birth, I was useless, wasn't I?" Su Qingluan asked sharply, his voice was particularly poignant because of his panic.
Lu Li shook his head slowly: "Ah Kite loves you, so I didn't plan to kill you." Butβif you kill yourself, I will no longer indulge you. β
Su Qingluan suddenly smiled: "What if I die now?" What about your children? β
"Are you threatening me?" Lu Li narrowed his eyes and asked.
Su Qingluan shuddered suddenly.
Lu Li looked at her mockingly.
Su Qingluan thought for a long time, and suddenly knelt down again: "Your Majesty, you are so good to your sister, but have you ever thought about whether your sister's heart for you is the same as you......"
Lu Li frowned slightly.
Su Qingluan hurriedly walked forward and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Your Majesty, it was Qingluan who was confused before, so he fell for his father and broke his sister's heart, but Qingluan has no ill will towards her sister, and she is willing to serve the emperor with her sister...... Tonight's incident is Qingluan's recklessness, but Qingluan just wants to see you too much! You can only see your sister in your eyes, can't you see Qingluan's infatuation with you for so many years? β
Lu Li was silent for a long time and stood up: "It's late at night, you better rest early." β
"Your Majesty!" Su Qingluan refused to let go.
Lu Li sighed: "Qingluan, the matter between me and Ah Kite is not something you can understand. I won't let her down. β
With that, he shook off Su Qingluan's hand and strode out.
Su Qingluan stood up and quickly chased to the door: "Actually, it's not like you don't have me in your heart at all, right?" β
Lu Li's feet did not pause, and of course he did not answer her question.
Su Qingluan leaned against the door, narrowed her eyes slightly, and laughed.
Tonight, she showed her face and took a little risk to destroy half of Yanxi Palace.
Although I couldn't keep that person, the gain was not small.
At least she knew: there was still a chance.
"Su Qingkite, guess who will win this time?" Su Qingluan raised his head and looked at the moonlight on the plum branch, smiling happily.
***
Fanghua Palace.
Su Qingyuan looked at Lu Li who strode into the door in a daze, and looked surprised: "Why did you come back?" β
"Where can I go if I don't come back?" Lu Li asked rhetorically.
Su Qingyuan yawned and pulled over the horn to cover her face: "She tried her best to coax you over, isn't it just to keep you?" In the middle of the night, the frost was heavy, and a frightened beauty pear blossom shivered with rain - do you really bear to go? β
Lu Li took off his robe and climbed onto the bed, gritting his teeth: "Do you want her to keep me?" β
Su Qingyuan rolled into his arms and laughed deliciously.
Lu Li sighed, his brows tightened a little: "Now that she is getting more and more restless, I don't know if it's right or wrong to keep her." β
"Aren't you going fishing?" Su Qingyuan asked indistinctly.
Lu Li smiled bitterly: "Fishing is fishing, I'm just afraid that the heart of this bait is too wild......"
Before he finished his words, when he looked down, he found that Su Qingyuan had fallen asleep.
Lu Li had no choice but to bow his head and tuck the corners of the quilt for her, and smiled bitterly: "My heart is really big." β
There were two sounds on the window lattice, and Lu Li quietly lifted the quilt, got out of bed and walked out.
Xiao Luzi greeted him under the porch and said in a low voice: "Recently, only a little slave named Laixi in the imperial dining room is a little suspicious, but I can't find out who is behind it." The people on the other side of the imperial dining room said that Lai Xi was usually very honest, and he didn't see anything suspicious, let alone have any contact with the Su family. β
Lu Li's expression gradually became solemn.
Xiao Luzi thought for a while, and then said: "On the side of the noble concubine, there has been no progress recently. The people who served around me have all been checked, except for the ones that Niangniang herself brought in from the house, most of the rest are the most honest people in the palace, and they usually don't see any dealings with outsiders......"
Lu Li clenched his fists and slammed it on the pillar: "Most of that person is still in the palace, we have investigated for many days, but we have found nothing so far, and it can be regarded as incompetent!" β
Xiao Luzi said in embarrassment: "The secret art of the witch clan has always been rumored to be mysterious and mysterious. In the past few days, the minions have been discussing, since so many people in the palace are under her control, will our so-called cronies also be ......?"
Lu Li leaned against the pillar and was silent.
In fact, there is no need to answer this question.
Everyone in the Yangju Palace is his confidant, but some time ago, where did Xiao Zhongzi and those people still have the slightest appearance as "henchmen"?
The Yangju Palace is already like this, what about Fanghua Palace? What about Yanxi Palace?
Even Xiaoyingzi and Xiaoluzi...... Who else would he dare to trust?
This speculation makes people shudder.
Xiao Luzi lowered his head and said: "It's a pity that since the end of Emperor Zhao, there is no longer a national teacher in South Vietnam, otherwise if there is a national teacher, there may be a way to crack it." Witchcraft, Gu magic, and divination are always in common. β
Lu Li's heart flashed with inspiration, when he wanted to catch it, he didn't catch anything.
The cotton curtain moved, and Su Qingyuan lifted the curtain and walked out.
Lu Li was startled, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly carried her back to the room: "I don't wear more clothes when I come out, don't you think I'm messy enough?!" β
"You're murdering me!" Su Qingyuan raised her head and glared at him angrily.
Lu Li stuffed her into the quilt and pressed the corner of the quilt: "I'm doing business, who told you to run out!" β
"I think I'm more important than your 'business'!" Su Qingyuan raised her head and said confidently.
Lu Li rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "So, what do you mean-"
"I didn't say it!" Su Qingyuan "rubbed" himself and hid himself tightly in the quilt.
Lu Li laughed happily.
After a while, Su Qingyuan quietly popped up again: "Actually...... I don't need any national teachers, I can almost tell who has traces of witchcraft on their bodies now. β
Lu Li was shocked: "What's the matter?!" β
Su Qingyuan frowned: "I'm practicing witchcraft myself, it's strange if I can't sense it!" It won't be long before I can find out all the people in this palace who have problems, you should be happy, why do you make such an expression as if a catastrophe is coming? β
Lu Li thought for a while, and reluctantly smiled: "So, who has traces of witchcraft on their bodies now?" β
"Everyone." Su Qingqi is colorful.
Lu Li's smile froze, and then he smiled bitterly: "So, what's the point of this 'discovery'?" β
"There will be later." Su Qingyuan is very confident.
Lu Li stretched out his hand and patted her forehead: "Ah Kite, don't be too tired." This thing...... We have another way to solve it. β
Su Qingyuan nodded and smiled.
Lu Li hugged her and asked in a low voice, "Were you pretending to be asleep just now?" β
Su Qingyuan smiled and said, "It's really sleeping, but as soon as the window lattice sounds, I will know." Fortunately, it is a small way, if someone else ......"
"Who else could it be but Xiaoluzi?" Lu Li asked rhetorically.
Su Qingyuan glanced at him and sneered: "Who could it be, don't you count it in your heart?" In the little half hour you were in Yanxi Palace, the people from Yuxiu Palace and Yongfu Palace each went to the Yangju Palace two or three times, don't say you don't know anything! β
"You say...... Have the people of Yongfu Palace been to the Yangju Palace? Lu Li's expression became serious.
Su Qingyuan's heart sank: "It was the little eunuch from the Yangju Palace who came to say itβis there something wrong?" β
"Kite, I need to go out." Lu Li got out of bed again, and did not leave time for Su Qingyuan to object.
Su Qingyuan sat up with a "whew": "Where are you going?" Yongfu Palace? β
"Yes." Lu Li left a word and walked out quickly.
