"When you went to see King Chang in private, what did you say to him!" Upon hearing the news that King Chang had been deposed from his imperial throne and stationed in Linchuan Mansion for life, Li Ce was furious.

This news is like a slap in the face for Li Ce, who has not acted for a long time, he has clearly done nothing, but he has lost a backer in a blink of an eye, and he has always been calm and can't even control his temper.

was reprimanded by Li Ce, and Lu Qingmeng, who was already full of fear, was so anxious that she even burst into tears, this time it was different from the hypocrisy of the previous plays, but she really cried once.

"I don't know what's going on, Ace, I really didn't mean to, you have to believe me." Lu Qingmeng looked pitiful, knelt in front of Li Ce and begged for mercy again and again.

But at the moment, Li Ce didn't have the heart to pay attention to her excuses, and now that the wood is in the boat, what's the use of saying this?

Li Ce tried to calm himself down, and then asked Lu Qingmeng carefully: "King Chang went to the national sacrifice ceremony in a good manner, why did he suddenly run to find that Yunyun?" How could he know her whereabouts? ”

Lu Qingmeng was so flustered that he didn't have time to think, so he could only respond truthfully: "I heard it from Lu Xuan with my own ears, she talked to Lu Nanjun that day, and I clearly heard that they wanted to use the clouds to expose the crimes of His Royal Highness King Chang, and I also wanted His Highness to take precautions as soon as possible, so I went to tell him." ”

Hearing this, and thinking of all the things that have happened to this day, Li Ce immediately reacted that this was a trap, and his face became extremely ugly for a while.

"You've been tricked." Li Ce said helplessly to Lu Qingmeng.

Lu Qingmeng was surprised at first, and then quickly reacted: "What did you say?" You mean, all of this was Lu Xuan's deliberate act with Lu Nanjun to mislead me? ”

Li Ce didn't even want to say another word, just nodded with a gloomy face.

Lu Qingmeng was incredulous: "Impossible, this is impossible, during this time, their family clearly trusts me, how can they deliberately set such a trap to calculate me?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Ce regretted that he didn't start at the beginning-

"Blame me too, I should have noticed it when I visited you last time, in Lu Xuan's opinion, you and I are just one side, even if Lu's mother intends to match you and me, she will never allow me to be alone with you."

was reminded by Li Ce like this, and Lu Qingmeng gradually recalled Lu Xuan's attitude towards him all along.

"No wonder she has been estranged from me when I first returned home, but then her attitude suddenly improved, and even treated me as before, and helped me avenge my bullying......" Lu Qingmeng brushed up little by little, but suddenly paused when he said this.

"Wait, isn't it that she's avenging me at all, but wants to borrow my hand to help the Lu family get rid of the trouble of the concubine?" Lu Qingmeng suddenly figured this out.

Li Ce, who was standing on the side, finally came back to his senses, and for a while he only felt exhausted, so he could only close his eyes and answer her helplessly: "That's probably the case." ”

All kinds of truths surfaced, Lu Qingmeng was extremely ashamed, she thought that she was strategizing, but she didn't expect to end up being played by others, which made her more angry than directly exposing her or killing her.

"I'm going back to find Lu Xuan for revenge!" In a fit of rage, Lu Qingmeng said that he was going to rush back to fight Lu Xuan to the death.

Fortunately, Li Ce was still awake, and immediately stopped her: "Calm down, go back and fight her now, why are you?" ”

is also said that Lu Xuan is blessed by the two great gods Gu Huanli and Shen Xixu, but Lu Qingmeng is not even the backer of King Chang, and he can't fight for others, and it is even more absurd to compete with force, so he really has no qualifications.

Lu Qingmeng gradually calmed down by what Li Ce said, and after thinking about it, she realized that the reason why Lu Xuan was able to defeat herself quietly was because of her patience and calmness.

"It seems that I was careless before, and I'm afraid I'll have a good fight with her in the future." Lu Qingmeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face showed a cold expression that was out of place with this face.

Only then did Li Ce follow her words: The connection between you and me must have been known by Lu Xuan early on, if you want to win back a city, you must catch her.

Originally, Li Ce was just helping King Chang deal with Gu Huanli and Lu Xuan, in order to raise his image in front of him and get more from him.

But now, instead of achieving the goal, Lu Xuan is put on a position and faces the risk of losing everything.

On Vanity Fair, all stumbling blocks should be removed. This is Li Ce's consistent style, and now that Lu Xuan is blocking his way to promotion, it has really become a stumbling block for him.

Soon, Li Ce's attitude towards Lu Xuan changed from acting on orders in the past to not avenging the ungentleman.

Seeing that Li Ce's hatred for Lu Xuan was getting stronger and stronger, Lu Qingmeng didn't need to hide it in front of him, and instead asked him about his next step.

"Now that you don't have the backer of King Chang, how are you going to fight the fierce king?" When Lu Qingmeng asked this, he was actually worried about his future.

However, Li Ce seemed to have a plan, and saw a cold smile on his face, and he was silent for a moment before he said to Lu Qingmeng: "King Chang? With his straw bale, I never expected to rise on him. ”

Li Ce in front of him said something that made Lu Qingmeng unbelievable, she hadn't seen the way he flattered the king before, but she didn't have to treat others with such a disdainful attitude as soon as King Chang fell.

However, Lu Qingmeng is not a person who pays attention to human affection and morality, in Vanity Fair, everyone just uses each other, and some people have no use value, and it is natural for people to be thrown aside.

Lu Qingmeng immediately asked: Then you have a new plan?

Li Ce nodded, and responded to Lu Qingmeng with a smug face: "So smart people still have to know how to leave a way back for themselves." ”

Being surrounded by him like this, Lu Qingmeng simply became more and more confused: "What do you think, you might as well talk about it, this time I acted recklessly, and I will definitely discuss with you first in any situation in the future, and no longer act without authorization." ”

Lu Qingmeng tried hard to gain Li Ce's trust again, and seeing her so assured, he finally mentioned his long-term plan to her.

"To tell you the truth, I had some contact with the one in the East Palace early in the morning." Li Ce said complacently.

Lu Qingmeng's eyes widened suddenly: "You mean His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Li Ce nodded: "Exactly." ”

Lu Qingmeng couldn't believe his ears, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the crown prince and King Chang were both princes, and they were two sides that were incompatible, how could anyone be able to dominate this and curry favor with that at the same time?

Thinking of this, Lu Qingmeng even had to wonder how many secrets Li Ce was hiding behind her back.

No wonder Li Ce had always asked Lu Qingmeng to contact King Chang before, and also told her not to expose the connection between him and King Chang, and dared to love in order to gain the trust of another bigger backer.

Lu Qingmeng thought about it carefully, Li Ce's city was far beyond her expectations, if one day he had any bad thoughts about himself, I am afraid he would not be able to prevent it.

But from another point of view, it is not a good thing to have such a person standing in front of her to plan for herself, at least the two of them have a common enemy, so that her revenge plan will be much easier to achieve.

Moreover, compared with King Chang, the crown prince can be regarded as having some strategies, and he is-for-tat with Gu Huanli above the court, so he should be the best candidate to compete with him.

After digesting it for a while, Lu Qingmeng asked obediently: "Then what do I need to do?" ”

This time, Li Ce directly widened the distance between Lu Qingmeng and the prince, and immediately responded to her: "You just need to keep an eye on Lu Xuan's side, try to seize her handle, so that it can be our bargaining chip against her, His Royal Highness the prince has me here." ”

Lu Qingmeng realized that Li Ce was guarding against him, and it seemed that the matter of King Chang had indeed made him worry a little, and the only way to regain his trust at the moment was to seize Lu Xuan's handle as soon as possible as he said.

Lu Qingmeng nodded obediently: "The adult is far-sighted, Qingmeng will definitely not drag the adult's hind legs anymore." ”

Hearing Lu Qingmeng's words, Li Ce probably replied disdainfully in his heart, "I hope so".

After calculating everything, Li Ce impatiently sent Lu Qingmeng away: "Okay, you go back quickly, if Lu Xuan goes back and sees that you are not in the house, he should be suspicious of you." ”

Previously, Lu Qingmeng also planned to rely on his connection with King Chang to get rid of Li Ce's control over him, exchange for a free body, and deal with the Lu family wholeheartedly.

But now that King Chang has fallen, Lu Qingmeng can be said to have nothing, what can he do but obediently obey Li Ce's dispatch?

At this time, Li Ce told her to leave, and she didn't even dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately nodded and said goodbye to him respectfully, and then carefully retreated.

Before this, Lu Qingmeng never thought that she would one day be so humble to tie up a petty official who was not in the stream, but now that the situation is also compelling, she is helpless.

With a heart full of anger, Lu Qingmeng walked quickly back to Lu Mansion, and only stopped when he walked to the door, trying to calm himself.

She clenched her fists, and she couldn't wait to rush over and kill Lu Xuan now, but now that she was under the fence and couldn't help herself, she really didn't dare to do anything on her own.

was silent for a moment, thinking that before he went out today, Lu Xuan would not be in the house, and now he would probably come back at the right time.

"Since she is already wary of me, if I am not in the house, will there be some secret secrets?" Lu Qingmeng secretly thought to himself, and then planned to try his luck.

Lu Qingmeng tried her best to avoid the eyes and ears of her subordinates, and cautiously sneaked into Lu Xuan's courtyard, and happened to hear her and Lu Nanjun's voices in the house at that time.
