The white wind and snow froze Li Pingyuan and the armies of Chengguo and King Donghua, and during the temporary rest, Chengguo's army began to withdraw to Chengguo.

Because of some rumors, he couldn't drag on the boundaries of Yu Country for long.

Zhuang Xun has contradictions to face, and similarly, Li Pingyuan also has contradictions to face, and his contradictions are more than Zhuang Xun.

Because Zhuang Xun's domestic side dealt with those families with big and small, and Li Pingyuan could only be regarded as a reluctant advantage against King Qinghe.

All the time outside is to find an opportunity for King Qinghe, so since it was snowing heavily and he couldn't attack, Li Pingyuan simply took the King of Henan back to Jidu.

The news of his return was also delivered to Li Shaoyun of the Jidu Palace, and the noble and dignified concubine Niangniang looked at the letters that were delivered.

She no longer needs to wear any plain Taoist robes like before, the gorgeous feather coat, the exquisite pearl and emerald match highlight her identity as a concubine, and her every move has a static grace.

Seeing this news, the concubine couldn't be happy, although she was a little unfilial, but she didn't want Li Pingyuan to come back.

How to say it, Li Ping is far away, she is like the queen of the court, saying everything, because Li Chengzhi, the general of the chariot cavalry, basically listens to her.

But Li Pingyuan came back, it was different, she was not the center of power after all, these people would consciously get close to the center of power, and abandon the substitute Li Shaoyun.

There is no way to do this, she has no so-called position, she has no ability, and no one supports her to establish a bureaucratic system that belongs to her, because without soldiers and horses, in the end it can only be a tree without roots and no soil to depend on.

Li Pingyuan's return also means that the process of changing the dynasty of the country is about to start, and Li Pingyuan has gained enough prestige.

This time, he won a lot of land for Chengguo, and it has also developed to the point where it should be, usurping the throne and seizing power, of course, it is most likely to imitate the Zhuang Xun of Xia Guo, and go to Zen to let that set.

But no matter what, for Li Shaoyun, it is already her fate to finally leave the harem and become a Taoist aunt who is powerless and powerless and not even mentioned.

"Why didn't Daddy fight with Zhuang Xun." Li Shaoyun regretted that she hoped that her father would be defeated and continue to maintain her current identity.

But it's not a fiasco, because the fiasco can't maintain her current identity, she doesn't want Li Pingyuan to be better, nor does she want Li Pingyuan to be bad, so it's the best for her.

This can be regarded as some careful thinking about marrying a daughter, who is now in the center of the whirlpool, and can best understand her own situation.

The Li family is the foundation of her life, and the identity of the concubine is the path for her to gain power, and she can only be respected by the hundred officials by maintaining the status quo, two things, losing one of them, she will not be able to get the worship of the hundred officials.

So when she saw the letter, she felt upset, because the time given to her was getting less and less, and she had fewer and fewer opportunities to sit in this position, and she could only maintain support for Li Pingyuan.

Pressed the letter on the table, and picked up another letter, the handwriting of this letter was beautiful, and Li Shaoyun could see whose words it was at a glance.

Her dear sister, Li Ruxi's handwriting, asked about Zhuang Xun's situation, please take care of him, look at the date is not known Zhuang Xun left Chengguo when he wrote, from the letter can be seen how much Li Ruxi feels sorry for her father-in-law.

This made Li Shaoyun even more irritable, what is more uncomfortable than going downhill here, and his sister soaring through luck.

is afraid that her sister will suffer from poverty, and she is afraid that her sister will have a good husband, Zhuang Xun, who she despises, does give Li Ru too much, and Li Shaoyun is envious.

Li Ruxi is not as good as Li Shaoyun, at least in the public opinion field of Chengguo, after all, not any husband can accept that he is weaker than his wife.

Now that the excellent Li Shaoyun wants to be compared to her sister, she naturally feels sad, and she is unwilling from the bottom of her heart, emotionally, and backward in her career, she didn't want to do it anymore, but the letter came to her hand again.

Seeing it became more and more irritable, and he didn't want to look at it, Li Shaoyun picked up the teacup, didn't drink the tea for a long time, and fell into a stupor.

Her eyes were empty, thinking about the letter sent to her by Li Ruxi for a while, and thinking about the impact of her father's letter on her for a while.

"Niangniang, Concubine Lin asks to see you." The maid Yang Mei sent her a message, and Li Shaoyun woke up from her cranky thoughts.

"What can she do, you let her in." After tidying up her appearance, although Li Shaoyun was a little confused, she still asked Yangmei to invite Lin Guifei in.

Lin Guifei belongs to the faction of King Qinghe, and last time she drove King Qinghe's forces out of Jidu, she didn't even show anything with Lin Guifei, after all, there was no backstage, and she rarely swayed in front of Li Shaoyun, afraid that something would happen to her.

Just like the previous Li Shaoyun who lived in a simple house and didn't take care of government affairs much, the politics of the palace is like this, when Taoguang is obscure, Taoguang is obscure, don't be strong, who knows how many grudges there will be.

So Lin Guifei took the initiative to come to her, Li Shaoyun didn't understand, and she was also a little curious.

Yang Mei led Concubine Lin Guifei, whose clothes had become simpler, and she could see that she was a little more cautious and cautious than before at the moment.

"My sister has seen Concubine Li." Lin Guifei looks respectful, courteous and thoughtful, the situation is stronger than people, Li Shaoyun is the uncrowned queen in the eyes of Lin Guifei.

"Is there anything important about Concubine Lin?" Li Shaoyun took the initiative to stand up and greet him, his expression was gentle and enthusiastic, but he was puzzled.

"It's just that I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I came to see how my sister is." Lin Guifei came to greet and praise first.

"I haven't seen Concubine Lin for a long time, so the monthly money is not less." With a generous posture, she calmly dealt with Concubine Lin, and she had already raised her identity invisibly, because it was the queen's power to be in charge of the monthly money.

"No, no, I want to thank Concubine Li for her tolerance and generosity, and today I am also here to thank Concubine Li for her big belly, and I didn't care about our previous relationship."

Lin Guifei apologized and said that it was still in the stage of the three-person deliberation before, and there were many contradictions between the two sides, but then Lin Guifei relented, and now Li Shaoyun doesn't know why she wants to mention it again.

"It's already in the past, don't mention it, you should look to the future." The scene still has to be said, she has no grudge against Lin Guifei, and she will not reach out to hit the smiling person.

"Thank you Concubine Li for forgiveness, of course I want to focus on the future, but I have to ask Concubine Li for more help, so that I can have a future."

With a smile, Concubine Lin Guifei showed hope and was extremely humble, just to ask Li Shaoyun to agree to him.

"Isn't the monthly money enough? You can send more points next month. Li Shaoyun thought of asking for help, and naturally people said that they thought that Lin Guifei was short of money.

"It's not monthly money, can the concubine retreat." Lin Guifei looked at the attendants around Li Shaoyun and said.

"Go down, it's not about the monthly money, what else is going on?" It's impossible that you still want to meddle in government affairs, right, give you face?

Li Shaoyun thought in her heart, but on the surface, she was smiling and groaning, and her joy and anger were invisible, she wanted to hear what Lin Guifei wanted to say.

"Monthly money? It's hard to say if there is any next month, Concubine Li, don't make me happy, Taishi Li is back, it's really hard to say if Chengguo is still there. ”

Concubine Lin Guifei saw very clearly, what Li Pingyuan had to do now was to usurp the throne, as the concubine of the previous dynasty, she did not become a country, and she still received any monthly money.

"A month is a month, otherwise what do you want to do." Even Lin Guifei saw it, and Li Shaoyun didn't want to explain more.

"So please concubine Niangniang, let me live, if Taishi Li succeeds in changing the dynasty, I don't want to die." Concubine Lin knelt down without hesitation, repeating her previous coup d'état, wanting to save one of her lives.

"I have to come down from the position of the concubine, how can I take care of you." Li Shaoyun said helplessly, there are still a few people in Chengguo who don't know that Li Pingyuan wants to usurp the throne.

"If you beg for mercy, you will ask for mercy, no matter if it is useful or not, if King Qinghe wins, I will also intercede for you, and we will help each other." Lin Guifei also clearly said the forbidden words.

"King Qinghe can't win." Li Shaoyun defended his own interests and said that no matter how much power Li Pingyuan won, it is better than him losing.

"It's just in case, King Qinghe is also active, please, Concubine Li, this is a mutually beneficial thing, hello, I'm good, everyone." Kneeling in front of Li Shaoyun, Lin Guifei begged hard.

"How can you make sure that your words count." Li Shaoyun thought about it, there is indeed such a possibility.

"I can't guarantee it, and I can't guarantee that you will intercede for me, but if I don't intercede, it will be too late to get to the execution ground, and I also want peace of mind."

Lin Guifei smiled bitterly, in the face of this kind of national event, her existence seemed extremely small, and she basically couldn't be a master, she just tried her best to find a trace of life.

"Okay, I understand, I agreed, now that the palace has spread the word? Daddy covets the throne. ”

Waving her hand to make Lin Guifei stand up, Li Shaoyun's mood became more and more complicated, is it not a taste in every way, is it already known to passers-by?

"The Holy Master will talk about it when he escapes and is captured, everyone knows about it, doesn't Taishi Li have the will to do this?"

Lin Guifei said with a little puzzlement, the last time there was a lot of movement, although King Cheng did not escape, but the news had escaped, flying all over the sky.

Li Shaoyun didn't know how to answer, it was not good to admit that she was opposed, and her father came to usurp the throne of her nominal husband, no matter how she said it, she felt sad.

"I don't know, is there anything else? It's okay, I still have to correct the ......," Li Shaoyun ordered to evict customers.

"It's okay, thank you for your kindness, I also have palace affairs, retire." Seeing that Shaoyun didn't really want to talk about it, Lin Guifei didn't want to touch Li Shaoyun's brows, anyway, she was relieved that she had got the promise.

"......" watched Lin Guifei's delicate and pitying figure leave, and Li Shaoyun's inner irritability had reached its peak.

I read the letter again, pinched it tightly, and tore it apart.

There was a silence for a while, and it felt a little chilly to sit in the chair, because no one added charcoal to let the attendants out.

She took a cloak and hung it on her body, and she had no interest in playing the folds, and walked to the Taoist temple where she was under house arrest.

The attendants followed Li Shaoyun and held umbrellas for her to shield her from the snow, until she came to the monastery courtyard, she let these people wait for her outside, and walked into the strictly guarded courtyard alone.

"Concubine Li is here? Isn't this supposed to be the time for officials to hand over their folds? Have you already corrected it? ”

There was only one person in the room, King Cheng looked at the scriptures, dressed in a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged, looking leisurely, but there was a bit of fairy wind.

From Zhuang Xun's mouth, he already knew that it was impossible for him to cultivate, because of his status as a monarch, spells would not invade or disturb, and natural cultivation was also nonsense, and the more he practiced, the more he couldn't ask for it.

However, now he has nothing to do, so he might as well do what he used to do, which is to cultivate the Tao, which was to cultivate for immortality before, and now to kill time.

"No, it's just that there are some small doubts that need to be answered by the Holy One." Sitting on the seat, he didn't salute, and King Cheng didn't care about her rudeness.

Cheng Wang's mentality is now like a dead ash, he finds that he has taken a dead end, and he can't turn back, think about it, you know how desperate he is.

"Confused? Need me to solve it? I won't say anything. King Cheng still has his own insistence, he thought that Li Shaoyun wanted to explore the news of King Qinghe, and gave up the country to the Li family, but he was unwilling.

"It's the underworld that the saint and Zhuang Xun said, does the underworld really exist in this world? Is there really a dragon fight? ”

Li Shaoyun said directly, regardless of King Cheng's refusal to ask directly, this question has been troubled for several months, and it has been difficult to ask, but if she doesn't ask it today, she feels that she may be going crazy.

"You...... It's you! "The escape failed, and the reason has not been found, and now the culprit is here.

"Holy Lord, are there really immortals and underworlds in this world?" Although Li Shaoyun grew up listening to the story of Li Pingyuan's encounter with the monk of Qinghu Mountain, she never believed in gods and ghosts until the night when Zhuang Xun was drunk.

"You can find out for yourself, no comment." King Cheng lowered his face coldly, didn't want to pay attention to Li Shaoyun, and his eyes became not very friendly.

"Is it true that the Holy Lord gave his concubine to Zhuang Xun in the underworld? Will a concubine become Zhuang Xun's property after her death? ”

Li Shaoyun continued to ask, she had too many doubts, especially when it was time to leave the center immediately.

Lin Guifei knew that she came to ask herself and beg for her own preservation, Li Shaoyun didn't need to take care of these faces, and she didn't come to figure out what she wanted to know about herself.

No matter who wins the battle between Li Pingyuan and King Qinghe, she has to leave, she wants to ask about her future, the future that was given to Zhuang Xun.

"......" King Cheng looked at Li Shaoyun angrily, Li Shaoyun's eyes were clear and resolute, and there was a trace of horror.

This proud noble lady honed the momentum of a superior person in presiding over the government, and she said softly: "I also have to think about me, not just for the Li family." ”

King Cheng savored these words, and his angry expression slowly soothed.

"I actually died once......
