That Qi Rongruo is very incomprehensible, although the emperor and the queen mother have always been good things for him, but within the royal family, who cares about these (shēn) foreign things?

When it comes to antique calligraphy and painting, he doesn't seem to have any peerless treasures worth remembering.

That Qi Rongruo: "Then let's talk about it." In the past, the second emperor brother used all kinds of Zhen (ài) gadgets to coax me to study in the south study, but now I have what to coax you to sit on the dragon chair? ”

Although there was sarcasm in his tone, the imperial concubine could only be inaudible.

After all, the most important thing now is to let Hongxi be willing to ascend the throne, otherwise no matter how powerful she is, she won't be able to go to the front of the court!

Imperial Concubine: "Just ...... But it's just a woman! ”

As soon as Qi Rongruo heard this, he was happy.

That Qi Rongruo: "Ha! Woman? When did the second emperor brother lack a woman? Why, do you want to go through the Kong clan so that Lord Xiangguo will be willing to submit? ”

Are these mother and son crazy? It's another thing to take the country first, and then take the wife, (ài) not (ài) is another matter, this is simply the biggest insult to a man?

Seeing that Qi Rongruo misunderstood, the imperial concubine hurriedly explained: "No, no, Rong Ruo you misunderstood, Xue Ying is your wife, how can you marry for the second time?" ”

Before the imperial concubine could say who she wanted, Qi Hongxi couldn't help but open her mouth, and said extremely indifferently and firmly: "I want Li Ruoqing!" ”

That Qi Rongruo was immediately stunned, he felt that he might have heard it wrong!

In the concept of this era, only the wife is irreversible, and other women have room for negotiation.

It's like the early death of the head of a large family, and the side wife and concubine can be remarried, although they will be pointed at, but they do not violate the law. Only the wife must be widowed to death, if you remarry or have an affair, it is illegal.

Comrade Li Ruoqing, who is a little feminist, doesn't know this law, otherwise she will definitely curse and swear!

Qi Rongruo asked with a blue face: "Qi Hongxi, what are you talking about?" ”

Qi Hongxi also said bluntly without flinching: "I want Li Ruoqing!" I want your Persian princess! ”

That Qi Rongruo sneered and said, "Do you not want to ascend the throne at all, and deliberately use this condition to provoke me to compete with you?" ”

In fact, Rong Ruo was lonely (shēn) in this imperial city at this time, and the palace guards under his jurisdiction were replaced cleanly, and it seemed that they had become fish (ròu), so they could only be slaughtered by the mother and son.

However, the suspicious emperor actually left him a killer shot!

If he is interested in the throne, he only needs to activate a hidden mechanism on the dragon (chuáng) side of the emperor in Chengming Palace, and immediately the emperor's army that has been raised for many years will break through the fortress-like palace walls through secret passages.

This army is not an ordinary guard, all of them are martial arts masters.

Even the Queen Mother didn't know about this, but the emperor told Qi Rongruo. He wanted Rong Ruo to inherit the throne, even if his mother was the princess of the Zhou family, Qi Tianheng still guarded against this mother who had made him lose his soul.

Rong Ruo didn't struggle in Chengming Palace, but thinking of completely suppressing these two mothers and sons, perhaps, he could really only be trapped in this palace for the rest of his life.

So, for the sake of freedom, he gave up.

But right now, Qi Hongxi dared to threaten Li Ruoqing, and he really touched his bottom line.

Qi Hongxi scoffed at Qi Rongruo's question, and said disdainfully: "This throne, you (ài) fight for it or not, at this moment, I want Li Ruoqing!" ”

As soon as she heard that she was fighting for the throne, how could the imperial concubine sit still, and immediately jumped out and said: "The throne has been set and cannot be changed!" Rong Ruo, a scheming woman who doesn't know where to come, why do you bother to go toe-to-toe with Hongxi? ”

After being shocked, Qi Rongruo relaxed, paced to a fairly complete chair and sat down, and said leisurely: "Your mother and son are really interesting, one wants to hold the throne and not let go, and the other wants my wife, are you really willing to give up the throne because I am afraid of you?" ”

Qi Hongxi knew him very well, and naturally knew that he didn't want to be the emperor at all.

Qi Hongxi: "You hand over Li Ruoqing, I will give you the freedom you want, in this world, I will bear it for you!" ”

Imperial Concubine: "Where is the wife?" She's just a side wife, if you die, don't you let her marry whoever you want? The monarch refers to marriage, can she still resist the decree? ”

The words of the mother and son made the cold Rong Ruo happy......

That Qi Rongruo: "You bear the world for me?" Like I'm begging you? Don't forget, it was your mother and son who killed the king and killed the father and husband, and seized the world by despicable means! ”

The imperial concubine was about to reply, but Qi Hongxi stopped her with a wave of his hand.

He put away some indifference, and said as gently as before: "Rong Ruo, from childhood to adulthood, all good things are yours." The women given to your father by foreign races are also the best for you. This Persian princess who is favored even by her father, you say yes, he will give it to you without saying a word! I have never fought with you for anything, nor have I ever wanted to fight with you for the throne. But now, my mother has come this far, and there is no way back for me. ”

Regarding Qi Hongxi's confession, the imperial concubine was really in tears and extremely comforted. At least if she gets the right word, Hongxi will not back down, so everything will be easy to do!

Qi Rongruo said contemptuously: "Then you give me a reason, why Ruoqing?" Just because I'm so deep that I want to be disillusioned? ”

Qi Hongxi: "I don't hate you, what do I want to destroy you?" It's just that...... From the time she came, to the fact that she later knew about going out of Chenkun Palace, I sincerely admired her resourcefulness and courage. Moreover, it is not most appropriate to ask such a cold-hearted person to become a living person, such a strange woman, to be in charge of the harem? ”

The imperial concubine, who was only old and comforted, immediately raised her vigilance. Hongxi wants Li Ruoqing to be the queen? That's simply impossible, she definitely doesn't (yǔn) Xu!

But it doesn't matter, coax him to the throne first, everything is later......

That Qi Rongruo: "Ha, what the second emperor brother said is so light, you like it, you appreciate it, you want Ruoqing, and you say that it is not to destroy me?" ”

Qi Hongxi: "Because of a woman, do you really want to let go?" Ning Yuan is my enemy? ”

That Qi Rongruo stood up (shēn), faced Qi Hongxi, and said angrily: "Because of a dragon chair, you are really so absolute (qíng)?" Ning Yuan and I will break off forever? ”

Rong Ruo's meaning is very clear, woman, it is impossible to give, you are like this because of the throne (qíng), why can't I break off with you for the sake of a woman?

Qi Hongxi: "Don't worry, you go back to the Qilin Palace and think about it, don't forget, your wife and sister are in the palace!" ”

He is reminding Rong Ruo, our mother and son have hostages in their hands, if you don't hand over Li Ruoqing, you will be killed!

Qi Hongxi patted the dust that was not there at all on (shēn), and said easily: "Please!" So far, it is possible to hand over or not to hand, and to destroy me. If you have what you can do, find it yourself! ”

The more he doesn't care about anything, only Li Ruoqing, the more Qi Hongxi wants to challenge!

If Qi Rongru walked out, Qi Hongxi was not in a hurry or annoyed, and asked the guards to send him back to Qilin Palace. Actually, it's soft (jìn)!

Qi Hongxi: "When you figure it out, then call someone to spread the word!" There are a lot of funerals for the emperor, and I don't have time to talk to you about these children (qíng). ”

That Qi Rongruo only tilted his head, hooked his lips at Hongxi and said with a smile: "Heh, then you just wait!" ”

The imperial concubine knows that Hongxi can keep the throne and is already Amitabha, so let them make trouble with these things, it's a big deal to kill them after ascending the throne!

In fact, Rong Ruo and Hongxi both know that Kong Xueying, Tianxin, and Tianyun, which one can kill?

Qi Hongxi was resentful in his heart, the people sent by the imperial concubine searched General Lingxiao's mansion today, and there was no figure of Li Ruoqing at all. If you catch her, what nonsense are you talking to him?

But trapping that Qi Rongruo made these two people anxious to see how long they could last!

The fourth day of March in the thirteenth year of Yongxu

【Farm】

Li Ruoqing was confused for two hours, and then she couldn't sleep again. After all, there is no news of Rong Ruo, where can she eat and sleep well?

The genius was bright, she sat alone in the courtyard in a daze, very dazed, why did she feel so incompetent?

Now that there are only a few people on her (shēn) side, how can she go to the palace to rescue Qi Rongruo?

Meng Li, who got up early and wanted to go into the city to inquire about the news, saw Li Ruoqing in a daze in the courtyard as soon as he left the room.

Hurriedly saluted and greeted: "Say hello to Madame." Why is Madame sitting here alone? Don't let the cold wind blow! ”

Of course, he knew why Li Ruoqing was in a daze in the yard, and he was worried that his master would not be able to sleep well. But it was not dawn, and I couldn't walk the mountain road, so I had to wait.

He hasn't been here a few times, and the secret passage is still the old man who took him to inspect, and he happened to see a stone tablet there to have an impression, and he knew that it was not far from this Zhuangzi at home.

It seems that Qi Rongruo deliberately gave him a secret strategy!

As soon as Meng Li's words came out, the four girls in the other room thundered and made the sound of cleaning up.

Li Ruoqing: "Meng Li, are you going to enter the city?" Let's go! ”

Meng Li: "You want to go?" How's that going to work? Just because you can't (shēn) be in danger, we are hiding here. ”

Li Ruoqing said anxiously: "But how can I stay here? ”

Meng Li reassured: "Madam, you can rest assured, it should be okay for now." Now that the emperor is mourned, the Zhuangzi side is also safe and sound, if there is something evil in the palace, all the fields around the capital will send troops to search. Presumably, we don't dare to make a noise, that's why we can be so quiet. ”

Of course, Li Ruoqing knew that there was nothing wrong now, after all, Rong Ruo's head was cut off on the eighth day of the first month of March! But she couldn't say......

Zijuan hurriedly got dressed, and ran to Li Ruoqing's room to get her the cloak she wore when she escaped.

While tying Li Ruoqing's cloak, she said distressedly: "When will the girl come out?" Why don't you put on a garment? It's still very cold in the morning, what if you get sick? ”

Li Ruoqing looked at Zijuan, and then at the girl who ran out of the house, busy fetching water for her, busy going to the kitchen to make breakfast, and busy sprinkling and sweeping in the yard......

And Meng Liniang was also busy searching for what other delicate food at home could be provided to this titular noblewoman!

How fortunate it is that such four caring girls still serve her as a nobleman when they are so down.

Li Ruoqing took Zijuan's hand and said, "Zijuan, I'm fine, I won't let myself get sick." You guys...... Go ahead and get busy! ”

She knew that she would not be able to persuade these girls to stop working. Because they have become accustomed to creating a clean and comfortable environment for their masters anytime and anywhere.

Her immediate priority now was how to convince Meng Li to go into the city with her......

Before she could speak, Meng Li's father and grandfather also came out of the house.

Meng Li greeted his father and grandfather, and then said, "I'm going to the city now to find out the news, and I ask you not to go out of our Zhuangzi range." If a soldier suddenly comes, my father and mother will take everyone to hide in the mountains. ”

Before he could salute and leave, Meng Li's father rushed over and grabbed him......
