Chapter 93: The Divine Sparrow

When Su Qingyuan heard Lu Li's voice, her face immediately showed joy.

But the next moment, she immediately bit her lip again and smiled, her eyes widening with all her might.

The footsteps that ran towards Lu Li also stopped at the same moment.

Lu Li's outstretched arms stiffened awkwardly, and then silently put them down.

Su Qingyuan let out a "hum" and turned her back.

Lu Li hesitated for a moment, and then set his eyes on Xiao Lizi's body: "Are you from the Divine Bird Country?" ”

Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative.

Xiao Lizi slowly knelt down, hesitated for a long time before saying: "The slave has never heard the words 'Divine Bird Country', and he doesn't understand what the emperor means. ”

Lu Li looked at him coldly: "If you are from the Divine Bird Country, I can spare you from dying." Otherwise, based on the few words you just said, it will not be too much to cut the car in half. ”

Xiao Lizi buried his head deeply, as if he was thinking.

In the end, he still insisted on his original confession: "The slave is not from the Divine Sparrow Country. The emperor wants to punish the crime, but the slaves dare not plead. ”

"In that case," Lu Li lowered his face coldly, "Xiao Lizi bewitched the Queen Mother, committed a big taboo, and immediately killed with a cane, there must be no mistake!" ”

Immediately outside the door, a deacon and eunuch received the order, and came over and twisted Xiao Lizi's arm.

Lu Li looked at Su Qingyu: "Doesn't the queen mother plan to intercede for him?" ”

Su Qingyuan turned around and let out a low sneer: "The emperor said he was joking." You are the lord of the world, you can kill whoever you want, where is my turn to intercede? ”

Lu Li frowned slightly, and his face was a little ugly.

Su Qingyuan sneered and got up and walked over, trying to bypass him.

"Kite!" Lu Li stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist.

Su Qingyuan raised her head and looked at him coldly.

Lu Li sighed and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lizi is guilty and deserves death, read that his guardian of the Queen Mother has merit, temporarily exempt from the death penalty, pull out his tongue and cut off his wrist and punish him as hard labor in the court, as a punishment!" ”

"Slave Xie Emperor Longen!" Xiao Lizi knelt on the ground and said loudly.

Lu Li carefully observed Su Qingyu's face, but found nothing.

Xiao Lizi was dragged down and didn't say a word again.

Only Su Qingyuan noticed that the last time he looked back, he seemed to be a little apologetic, and as if he was a little worried.

"Where are you going?" Lu Li grabbed Su Qingyu's wrist and dragged her back into his arms.

Su Qingyuan said coldly: "Since you call me 'Queen Mother', I should naturally go back to my own palace." Always mixed up with you in vain, am I sorry for me? ”

"The queen mother only knows the 'bad heart' now, is it too late?" Lu Li raised his head and glanced at the messy bed, meaning something.

Su Qingyuan still looked at him coldly.

Lu Li frowned: "Xiao Lizi's matter, if you think it's inappropriate, I can forgive him for his innocence." ”

Su Qingyuan sneered: "What are you doing with little plums?" Is it because my heart is empty, and I am afraid that I will question you, so you have to talk about him left and right, trying to fool him around? ”

"Strange, what is there in my heart?" Lu Li was a little puzzled.

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and lowered her head gloomily: "Yes...... What do you have in good heart? You're not wrong, it's me who transgressed. ”

"Kite?" Lu Li's heart suddenly panicked.

Su Qingyuan broke free of his hand and said coldly: "I can't remember who Xiao Lizi is, but at least today, he is my person!" No matter how heinous he is, I should order him to be beheaded! You don't understand the reason that beating a dog depends on the owner, you are in such a hurry to punish him, and you don't even want to ask me, just to slap me in the face, right? The emperor is really troubled! If you think that I have lost my duty and exceeded the rules, just tell me clearly, why bother to knock on the side and give me such a dismount! Although I'm a little confused now, I can still see that my eyebrows are high and my eyes are low, don't think I'm really stupid! ”

"Kite, you're too careful." Lu Li took two steps back to stop the door and sighed.

Su Qingyuan pursed her lips and turned her face away from his gaze.

Lu Li walked over and hugged her shoulder: "Ah Kite, I'm a little impatient, but in the past, you and I have always been indistinguishable from each other, and the minions of Fanghua Palace and Yangju Hall have acquiesced to that you and I are both their masters—I didn't expect you to be angry with me for a minion." ”

"Not each other? Is it really that good? Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Of course." Lu Li nodded solemnly to show sincerity.

Su Qingyuan hooked the corners of her lips: "So, your concubine, that is, my concubine?" ”

"What does this have to do with the concubine?" Lu Li frowned.

Su Qingyuan said strangely: "It's okay, can't you mention it?" You can kill my minions at will, but I can't even mention a word about your concubine, this is what you call 'not distinguishing between each other'? ”

Lu Li lowered his head and looked at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "I don't remember anything from the past, and my brain is not as clear as before, but this vinegar has not diminished at all!" I did take the time to go to Yuxiu Palace, who told you so much? ”

Su Qingyuan raised her head and said, "It was said by Danyue." She really shouldn't have told me about it, you should have someone beat her to death! ”

Lu Li couldn't cry or laugh, rubbed Su Qingyu's hair and sighed vigorously: "The vinegar jar has been overturned, how good is this!" ”

Su Qingyuan shook off his hand irritably, just angry.

Lu Li had to sigh: "Jingmin is a concubine, and she has something to do with Xiliang, and her identity is extraordinary. She was a little frightened last night, and I couldn't ignore it - I just looked at it and came back, and I didn't even say a word to her, and that's why I should be angry? ”

Su Qingyuan flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "It's not worth it, but I just want to be angry!" I just want to knock over the vinegar vat or make trouble unreasonably, you hit me! ”

Lu Li smiled: "Why did you hit you?" If you're jealous, it's too late for me to be happy! ”

Su Qingyuan turned her back angrily: "I was confused by you again - when you punished Xiao Lizi, I didn't have time to get angry!" Even if I'm jealous and angry and vexatious, then you are unreasonable first! ”

Lu Li rubbed his sideburns, looking helpless: "Ah Kite, these are two things!" I punished Xiao Lizi, not to lose your face, but because he did bad things. ”

"What bad did he do?" Su Qingyuan was not convinced.

Lu Li Zhengse said: "Witchcraft and charm, these things are absolutely intolerable in the palace. He has committed a big taboo, even if it is you and me, there is no reason to protect him. ”

Su Qingyuan stomped his feet and said indignantly: "How did I say that I wanted to protect him? He has committed a taboo, and if you tell him to your face, will I not allow you to sentence him to death? What is your intention in punishing him in a hurry, and at the same time testing my tone in a weird way? Do you want to say that I am an accomplice of Xiao Lizi, and I should also cut the car in half to show justice? ”

"What should I do with you!" Lu Li let out a long sigh.

Su Qingyuan was even more angry: "What else can I do?" Cut off your tongue and wrist as a punishment! ”

Lu Li leaned over and carried her back to the bed, and sighed helplessly: "If you don't force her to die, I won't give up!" Ah kite, is it only for you to be suspicious and suspicious and eat flying vinegar, and not for me to be worried and confused? I can't even see your shadow these days, but he can be by your side day and night, I am jealous of him, I want to find his fault, but I am worried that you will protect him—this is a shameful little thought, do you have to force me to say it myself? ”

"What......" Su Qingyuan was stunned when she heard it.

Lu Li turned his back awkwardly, refusing to let Su Qingyuan see his face.

Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "So, you are also jealous?" And - is it eating a eunuch's flying vinegar? ”

“……。” Lu Li really wanted to take back what he had just said.

Su Qingyuan patted the pillow and laughed: "Lu Li, you even eat the vinegar of the eunuch, do you want to eat the vinegar of the palace maid next time?" Fang Danyue said that she has been with me for eight years, maybe the person I like in my heart is her......"

"You dare!" Lu Li's face darkened.

"Huh?" Su Qingyuan was stunned.

This person...... He doesn't really mind, does he?

"When the emperor is the emperor, his heart is so small?" She accidentally said what was in her heart.

Lu Li said with a dark face: "Even if I am cautious, you taught me!" ”

Su Qingyuan shrugged her shoulders with an innocent expression.

Lu Li leaned down and lay down on his side next to her: "I just met and had to quarrel again, why bother?" Let's put away our little eyes and get back together, how about it? ”

Su Qingyuan hesitated and nodded.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and explained to her again: "It is very likely that the people from Xiliang have already entered Beijing. Now I can't figure out what their attitude is towards Jingmin, so I must be able to get by on face. What's more, Jingmin is innocent and has always respected you very much, so I have no reason to ignore her. ”

Su Qingyuan let out a low "um".

Lu Li straightened up half of his body and looked at her seriously: "Now, it's your turn to explain to me - witchcraft, charm, what's going on?" ”

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, lowered her head and said sullenly: "I can't remember so much, I just know that the woman asked me to learn...... It's Xiao Lizi who is teaching, and I don't like it. Witchcraft was taught to me by the woman herself, I think...... Maybe it will be useful. ”

"She told you to learn those two evil arts to control me?" Lu Li's face became gloomy.

Su Qingyuan was a little timid, but finally nodded.

Lu Li held her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "If you want to deal with me, you don't need any 'charms' at all!" ”

Su Qingyuan thought about it for a while, and blinked mischievously: "I know this, so I didn't study hard at all!" Xiao Lizi forced me to learn those ghost things, so I beat him, scolded him, and stabbed him with a hairpin, and he didn't even dare to let out a fart! ”

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little regretful in his heart.

He suppressed the strange thought in his heart and continued to ask, "What about witchcraft?" ”

Su Qingyuan thought for a while and said seriously: "Witchcraft was originally forced by that woman to learn it, but then I wanted to learn it myself. The woman said I was gifted, and I thought—maybe one day I'll surpass her. ”

Lu Li Zhengse said: "You don't need to surpass her!" You've got someone around you to protect you, and she—I'm going to get rid of her sooner rather than later!" ”

Su Qingyuan wrinkled her brows and thought for a while, then hesitated: "I remember, I want to learn those things, and there seems to be a very important reason...... But then I got sick and forgot. Now I can't even get started with witchcraft, but I can already use it a little, and maybe I'll be surprised when I finish it! Xiao Lizi said, I may be able to remember the past......"

Lu Li sank his face: "Don't learn!" ”

"Why?!" Su Qingyuan shouted aggrievedly.

Lu Li twisted her wrist and said hurriedly: "That kind of mysterious and mysterious thing, who knows if there will be any unknown harm!" That woman is our enemy, how can you be at her mercy! ”

Su Qingyuan was so anxious that she was about to cry: "But, I don't want to be a fool forever!" I've forgotten almost everything from the past, and I often can't remember the recent events...... I'm always doing the wrong thing, and I'm going to make jokes......"

Lu Li looked at her sadly and was silent for a long time.

Su Qingyuan grabbed his arm and shook it, begging for help: "I know you can't rest assured, but for me, there will be no worse outcome than now!" You know, even if I become stupid and crazy, and lose my mind, I will definitely not hurt you - why would you prevent me from regaining my whole self? ”

"What do you think...... Is the current state incomplete? Lu Li asked in a dumb voice.

Su Qingyuan nodded heavily.

Lu Li thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed: "The book you want, I'll go to the imperial study tomorrow to find it for you." You don't have to force it, once you notice that something is wrong, you must stop immediately! ”

Su Qingyuan raised three fingers as an oath: "I will definitely not mess around!" ”

Lu Li grabbed her finger and sighed: "I can't always resist you, I'm just afraid that I will regret it later......"

Su Qingyuan laughed "sneering": "Are you afraid of dying in my hands in the future?" ”

Lu Li nodded solemnly.

Su Qingyuan was surprised: "Are you really afraid of me?" Are you so cowardly that you have done too much of your heart? ”

Lu Li tightened the corners of the quilt and said helplessly: "An unidentified woman from the Wu Clan, a descendant of the secret art of the Divine Bird Country-you have been trapped in the hands of such two people for so many days, and even your mind has been a little confused by them, how can I not worry?" ”

"Divine Sparrow Country? What the hell is that? Su Qingyuan looked dazed.

Lu Li sighed: "Shenque used to be a vassal state of South Vietnam, and later defected to North Yan, which added a lot of trouble to South Vietnam. At that time, Emperor Zhao was furious and sent troops to pacify the ...... of the gods."

"In other words, the ending of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom is the same as that of the Wu Clan?" Su Qingyuan blurted out.

Lu Li pondered for a long time, and carefully considered the words: "Regarding the affairs of the Wu clan, there are very few classics that can be found now, and even the records of the historians are unknown...... But the incident in the Divine Bird Country is actually quite complicated. ”

Su Qingyuan rubbed her sideburns in distress: "It's a witch clan and a god bird, why is it so troublesome?" I can't remember so many names......"

Lu Li took her hand away, rubbed her sideburns for her, and said with a smile: "There were originally nine subject countries in South Vietnam, and Shenque used to be one of them. There were seven people who entered Beijing this time, and only the most remote country of Luotan did not come. As for the Wu Clan, it was a hidden clan in the mountains many years ago, and it was not considered a vassal clan. ”

Su Qingyuan was drowsy when she heard it, and it took a long time before she gave a perfunctory "um".

Lu Li sighed: "Legend has it that the secret art of the witch clan can control people's hearts and connect with the gods, so many years ago, the three major countries were quite jealous of them. About twenty years ago, the witch clan, which was rumored to be a god, suddenly disappeared for some reason, and the people of the world were really happy for a while. Come to think of it, things like witchcraft and Gu magic must not be tolerated, which is why I don't like you to practice witchcraft. ”

"I'm afraid it's not 'not allowed to be tolerated by the sky', but 'not tolerated by people', right?" Su Qingyuan yawned and said lazily.

Lu Li smiled and didn't refute her words, but he thought about it: "The secret art of the Divine Bird Kingdom is different from that of the Wu Clan, but it is more mysterious than the witchcraft - some of them have been able to understand yin and yang since they were young, know the rise and fall, and anticipate things ......first."

"Isn't that a swaggering stick?" Su Qingyuan came to be interested.

Lu Li shook his head and smiled: "They have real skills. For hundreds of years, South Vietnam has had a tradition of respecting the national teacher, and the national teachers are all from the country of Shenqi without exception, because they have taken a fancy to their divination skills. ”

"So, you don't kill Xiao Lizi, do you want him to be a national teacher?" Su Qingkite's eyes widened.

Thinking that Xiao Lizi might change from a little eunuch to a national teacher, she thought it was very interesting.

National teacher wow, it sounds so awesome and amazing! When it comes to the word "national teacher", everyone will think of the appearance of an old man with a long beard and a fairy wind and bones.

Either way, his beard was destined to never grow!

"What do you want?!" Lu Li tapped Su Qingyu's forehead with his fingertips.

Su Qingyuan hurriedly lowered her eyelids and pretended to be serious.

Seeing this, Lu Li continued: "Except for a very small number of soothsayers, most of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom are ordinary people—but among the Divine Sparrow nobles, there is a secret charm that is said to be a long-term practitioner who not only has a beautiful complexion and eternal youth, but also has the ability to seduce the soul. ”

"Xiao Lizi knows how to bewitch, so you suspect that he is a nobleman of the Divine Bird Country?" Su Qingyuan immediately grasped the key.

Lu Li nodded seriously.

Su Qingyuan waited quietly for him to continue to explain.

Lu Li casually played with her hair and muttered: "The destruction of the Divine Bird Kingdom back then, the classic records are also vague, and I always suspect that there is something else going on, so I want to leave Xiao Lizi for detailed interrogation." There is no need to rush this matter, since he has no intention of doing this, I naturally do not intend to rush him. ”

Su Qingyuan rubbed into the crook of Lu Li's arm and asked sullenly, "Is there really such a magical technique?" If all the noble women of the Vermilion Bird Country are all beautiful, wouldn't the harem of the Nanyue Emperor become the world of gods? You shouldn't be yearning for it, so you want to ask Xiao Lizi if there is a woman in the world, right? ”

Lu Li glared at him and smiled helplessly: "You really can always find vinegar for yourself to drink whenever and wherever you are!" Nanyue has taken the art of flattery as a sideline, and since the early years of Taizu, there has been a strict order, and the children of the strict clan marry the Shenque woman as a wife and concubine - now you can rest assured, right? ”

"I don't believe you're greedy!" Su Qingyuan wrinkled her nose and said in a muffled voice.

Lu Li was angry and funny, with a helpless face.

Su Qingyuan was in a good mood when she saw him eating deflated.

At this time, a little eunuch whispered outside the window again: "Someone from Yuxiu Palace sent a message, saying that the concubine Niangniang not only did not reduce her fever after taking the medicine, but talked nonsense and beat people indiscriminately. The people serving around him had no idea, and the imperial doctor didn't dare to step forward, only saying that most of them had fallen into evil spirits. ”

Su Qingyuan sat up with a "snort": "In this palace, there is no evil!" ”

The little eunuch outside said in a low voice: "The people of Yuxiu Palace said that the palace is full of yin and evil, and evil spirits are common. I am afraid that the only person in the world who can suppress the evil is the emperor. ”

"Speaking of which, I still want to trick Lu Li into going to see her!" Su Qingqi snorted.

Lu Li sat up with her, wanting to speak and stopping.

Su Qingyuan glanced at him: "I know that you can't rest assured!" You can go over immediately, who will hold your thighs and not let you go? ”

Lu Li smiled bitterly and hugged her: "You go with me." ”

"I'm tired!" Su Qingyuan said in a muffled voice.

Lu Liban raised his face: "If you are tired, you can take a step, but it can't be done, I can also carry you over - in short, you must go, otherwise I'm afraid you will eat flying vinegar again!" ”

Su Qingyuan thought for a while and raised her head: "It's okay, I'm just about to go and see where that noble concubine is!" ”

So the two went out together, called two steps, and sure enough, they arrived at Yuxiu Palace one after the other.

When the little eunuchs of Yuxiu Palace saw Lu Li, they immediately greeted him happily. When they saw Su Qingkite behind, they were all a little embarrassed.

Lu Li waited for Su Qingyuan to step on the steps, and then turned around and entered the door with her.

Under the corridor, I heard the roaring and scolding in the hall, and the sound was terrible and terrifying.

Lu Li frowned slightly, and whispered to Su Qingyu: "She does seem to be crazy." Don't go in yet, beware of the danger. ”

With that, he paused for a moment, and walked briskly into the temple.

Su Qingyuan subconsciously followed two steps, and finally stopped at the door.

I saw a woman in the hall screaming wildly, grabbing Lu Li's arm and tearing it hard.

Su Qingyuan was anxious, but it was inconvenient to go in, so she had to tell the little eunuchs to go over and help.

She couldn't remember anything about Lord Jingmin. But the previous hostility melted into her bones, and she couldn't stay out of it.

A little palace maid from Yuxiu Palace came over and bowed respectfully: "The Queen Mother is not well, don't stand in the tuyere for a long time, please come and sit in the pavilion." ”

Su Qingyuan did feel a little headache from the wind, so she nodded.

The warm pavilion of Yuxiu Palace is only separated by a wall from the dormitory of the county lord Jingmin, and Su Qingyuan is not worried that Lu Li will not find her.

When I entered the warm pavilion, I was really comfortable, and my scalp was not so tight.

The little palace maid held the tea, knelt down respectfully, and put her hands in front of Su Qingyuan: "The Queen Mother, please use tea." ”

The refreshments given by outsiders, Su Qingyuan will not eat them easily. She took it and placed it on the table.

Only then did she notice that in addition to the tea bowl, something had been stuffed into her hand.

It was a small piece of paper folded in all directions.
