I woke up in the secret room, and Grandpa Li said that from this time on, I would owe him his life.

Last night, just before the queen and her party came in, Gonggong Li suddenly got up and walked towards me, holding the three-foot white silk left by Concubine Li Defei in his hand.

"What is Gonggong Li doing?" Is he trying to trade my life for his own life?

"Does Madame believe me?"

"Should I believe it?" This is the truth, I have known Gonggong Li for less than a month, and I really don't know whether to believe it or not.

Gonggong Li didn't answer, just nodded at me, and then the door was pushed open, and the queen and Concubine Li brought in a lot of people.

Without waiting for the queen to speak, Gonggong Li suddenly knelt down, and he said that the lady of the Longxi County Mansion intended to murder the emperor, and she deserved death.

"And then?" Probably didn't expect that Gong Li would temporarily stab me, and the queen was stunned for a while before she smiled again.

"As a person who is deeply favored by the emperor, the old slave naturally can't let the inferior people continue to stay in the palace, so the slave asks the queen to give the slave a chance and let the slave personally send his wife on the road."

"Gonggong Li has this heart, and the palace naturally wants to thank his father-in-law for the emperor. Just ......"

"The queen can rest assured, after the lady goes, the old slave will naturally accompany the lady to go together, which can be regarded as repaying the queen's kindness to the old slave."

What the? This Gonggong Li didn't want to exchange my life for his own life, why did he do this?

"Father-in-law Li, don't worry, when the time comes, the palace will arrange someone to send your father-in-law back to his hometown, and he will also take care of your sixty-year-old mother at home."

"Then the old slave thanked the queen."

Later, Gonggong Li stopped the queen's method of poisoning, saying that if the emperor tracked down, the imperial doctor would definitely be able to find clues from the corpse.

"What is the opinion of the father-in-law?"

"The mother asked her to find a few barrels of oil to come, and the safest way was for the old slave to tie up the lady after she was stunned, and then light a fire, and everything would be clean. If the emperor asks in the future, the queen only needs to deduce that it is the Duchess of Longxi County who committed suicide in fear of crime, and even if the emperor suspects, the imperial doctor will not find evidence, first, the rope will be burned clean, second, the imperial doctor will not find the poison in the corpse, and third, the dust left in the throat can also prove that the lady died in the fire. There was no evidence, and the emperor slowly and naturally let it go. ”

"Haha...... Gonggong Li really deserves to be a big celebrity around the emperor, and he can see at a glance what the palace wants. ”

"The queen has won the award, and the old slave's family will be handed over to the queen."

"Father-in-law Li rest assured."

I never thought that Gonggong Li was such a scheming person, I had been guilty before, and felt that I had dragged him down, who knew that people had already found a way back, no wonder he sat there so peacefully all day.

Then, the queen asked the people around her to hold me down, and in the blink of an eye, I fell into a deep sleep. All I could hear was the sound of footsteps, a cacophony, and then I felt myself being carried and swayed.

It's like having a long, long dream, but it feels familiar......

"Grandpa Li! My head hurts so much, it's going to blow up......"

"Don't worry, when the emperor comes back, everything will be fine!"

I don't know how long I slept, and when I woke up again, there were a lot of delicious food in the secret room, and Gonggong Li said that the emperor had come over, and he would come to see me later later.

"Thank you!"

"You want to thank the emperor."

"Hmm." How could I not know that if it weren't for the emperor's approval, how could there be such a secret room in the palace for no reason.

Gonggong Li said that the emperor is really very good to me, better than any lady in the palace.

"But I'm not the mother of the palace after all, I always have to go out of the palace."

"Madame thinks she can go back?

"Why not."

"After last night, there will be no more Mrs. Longxi County Mansion in the world."

"What do you mean, father-in-law?"

"Madame can try to change your lifestyle, and the emperor will give you a new identity, so that Madame can stay here openly."

"The emperor said this."

"Madame......"

"So, Queen, Concubine Li De, everything that happened yesterday was planned by you a long time ago, right?"

"No, Madame, just remember that the emperor will not harm Madame."

"I just happened to be framed, I happened to have drugs, I happened to have a secret room, and I just had a reason to stay in the palace? Is Grandpa Li treating me as a child? ”

"The old slave is still the same sentence, Madame should not doubt the emperor."

I didn't answer, I just recited it and pretended to sleep, wasn't what happened yesterday enough to prove everything I had guessed?

Gonggong Li is still continuing to be the emperor's lobbyist, he said that the emperor kept him by my side so that he could save my life at a critical moment, and as for the secret room in the room, it was also deliberately arranged by the emperor early in the morning, in order to leave me a way back.

"Gonggong Li is not saying it, how can you let me believe it?"

"Madame must believe that the emperor really doesn't know what the queen and Concubine Li Defei did, the emperor left the palace yesterday to observe the people's feelings, if the emperor knew in advance, he would definitely not hurt Madame by the queen and Concubine Li De."

"Does the father-in-law know when the emperor will be able to send his courtiers out of the palace?"

"Madam, why don't you understand," Gonggong Li looked at me helplessly. "The lady of the Longxi County Mansion had an accident in the palace, and the emperor sent someone to escort the "lady" back as soon as possible. ”

"Escort? Madam? What does Grandpa Li mean? ”

"The old slave said, Mrs. only needs to stay quietly in the palace with the old slave in the future, and from then on, the name of Longxi County Mansion has nothing to do with Mrs."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Madame thinks why did the emperor let the old slave stay with Madame?"

"What do you mean, father-in-law?"

"It means that the old slave can keep his wife safe."

For several days, Zhao Guangyi only came over when I was asleep, and Gonggong Li said, when I figured it out, the emperor would naturally arrange a new place for me.

"Figured it out?"

"Hmm."

"What if I can't figure it out in my life?"

"That old slave wouldn't mind staying here with Madame for the rest of his life."

"Father-in-law Li, do you remember when you said I owe you my life?"

"That's a minion's joke, Madame doesn't have to take it seriously."

"But I'll take it seriously, I'll pay you back today."

I raised my hand to wipe it off my neck, and what I was holding in my hand was the self-defense bracelet that Ling Qi gave me when Zhou Mansion gave me, and there was a dagger hidden in it.

Although Gonggong Li reacted quickly, the dagger still left a scar on my neck.

"I didn't expect Gonggong Li to be able to do martial arts."

"Madame is tired, let's rest first." As soon as the words ended, I fell into a deep sleep.

Being able to snatch the dagger in my hand in such a short period of time, it seems that this Gonggong Li is far more than just an ordinary guard.
