On the other side, King Wu rode off the beach on horseback, followed closely by three guards.
The King of Wu grasped the reins, and for some reason, the words of the fisherman's daughter Xier emerged in his mind - [I heard that the Queen Mother of Qing, Shen, is a beauty from heaven].
"A beauty like that of a goddess? Is she really that beautiful?" The King of Wu was a little interested.
King Wu was quite familiar with Queen Mother Shen of Qing.
After his sister married into the Kingdom of Qing, she was protected and cared for by the Queen Mother of Qing, Shen. In the letters his sister wrote to him, she repeatedly praised Shen for her "unparalleled wisdom and courage, which is no less than that of men."
He praised Shen to the skies.
King Wu muttered, "Sister only praised Queen Mother Shen for her intelligence, but never seemed to mention Queen Mother Shen's appearance."
However, a woman who can be favored by the emperor for half his life should not be too ugly.
King Wu couldn't help but wonder what Queen Mother Shen looked like.
The guard beside him asked curiously: "My Lord, do you still want to marry the Queen Mother of Qing?"
King Wu glared at him angrily and whipped him with a horse whip: "Even if I want to marry her, can I marry her? Queen Mother Shen's husband is Emperor Qing, her son is the new emperor, her brother is the general, her brother is the damned Shen Xiuming, and she is also a close friend of my elder sister. Do I dare to marry her? The thing on your neck is just for height increase?"
"Shut your damn mouth. If this word gets to the Donglin royal family and then to Emperor Qing's ears, and Emperor Qing uses this as an excuse to start a war and destroy my small country of Donglin, wouldn't I become a sinner for all eternity?"
The guard shrank his neck and shut his mouth silently.
The King of Wu scolded the guards, but he had an idea in his mind. I will write a letter to my elder sister in Qing Kingdom tomorrow, asking her indirectly about what Queen Mother Shen looks like.
Just to satisfy his curiosity.
It was getting late, and the King of Wu's plan to find a beauty today failed again. He had no choice but to return home in a depressed mood with his guards. On the way back, the guard kindly reminded: "Your Majesty, a letter from the imperial capital asked the kings of each fiefdom to search for "a person who died mysteriously and was resurrected miraculously" in their jurisdiction, and you haven't done it yet."
Wu Wangjun's face was dark.
A few days ago, the Emperor of Donglin wrote letters to dozens of his sons in various fiefdoms, asking them to find a person who had "come back from the dead".
The King of Wu naturally also received the letter.
But he didn't want to pay any attention to it at all.
Donglin Kingdom is a small country the size of a palm, close to the vast ocean. Unfortunately, they were unlucky as they bordered the powerful Qing Kingdom to the east and the powerful Nanchu Kingdom to the south.
Sandwiched between two superpowers, China is like a poor punching bag.
This time, the Emperor of Donglin was searching for the "person who came back to life" based on an "order" issued by the Emperor of Nanchu. Donglin did not dare to offend the Emperor of Nanchu, so he had to find someone within the country according to the Emperor of Nanchu's request.
King Wu rode on his horse, cursing: "In my opinion, the Emperor of Nanchu is a madman! Why is he looking for someone who has come back to life? How can a dead person come back to life? My father is also a coward, being exploited by Nanchu in Qing all his life. If I become the Emperor of Donglin——"
The guard asked cautiously: "What will happen if you become the Emperor of Donglin?"
The young and handsome face of the King of Wu showed a bit of arrogance, and he raised his chin: "If I become the Emperor of Donglin, I will definitely bring my sister back from Qing Kingdom and let her be the Emperor of Donglin - I am timid and dare not kill people or my blood relatives. My sister is brave, she dares to kill my father, so she should be the emperor."
Guard: ...
The prince has some ambitions, but not too many.
Arriving at the palace, the King of Wu dismounted and told his guards: "Take your men to look for the so-called resurrected person. Don't be too careful. Just go around and have some tea. Send a message to my father and tell him that I have turned over all the land in Wu County but still can't find the person."
The guard cupped his hands: "Yes."
...
...
Qing Kingdom, the Imperial Manor of Luoyue Lake in Yanjing City.
Lu Yun, who had turned into Chen Wei, sat on a chair with a haughty look on her face, leisurely holding a cup of lotus tea in her hand.
Different from Lu Yun's calmness, Li Yuanjing, Li Chengtai, the Empress Dowager, Le You and others in the room all had gloomy expressions.
Lu Yun took a sip of the fragrant lotus tea and closed her eyes to savor it: "Good tea, such good tea, I haven't had it for many years. Chen Wei is so lucky, she killed my sister in exchange for such a good life."
She was facing Shen Wei's face, with a completely different expression and tone.
In fact, Lu Yun did not expect that Li Yuanjing would notice something strange just after she came into Shen Wei's body and said only one sentence.
Li Yuanjing is worthy of being the Emperor of Daqing.
He uncovered Lu Yun's disguise and used omissions in her words to find out her identity.
But Lu Yun has her own confidence.
She occupied Shen Wei's body, and Li Yuanjing didn't dare to be cruel to her. Because Lu Yun became more and more confident.
Le You was so angry that his eyes turned red: "Hurry up and bring my mother back! Remove this evil spell!"
Le You never expected that such a bizarre thing would happen to his mother.
After the queen mother fainted, the shell was replaced by the soul of another woman.
This is something straight out of a picture book.
Lu Yun played with the exquisite teacup, her eyes disdainful: "Agree to my request - issue an imperial edict to the world, restore the innocence of the Lu family in Yunzhou, bring the Lu family bloodline back to Yunzhou, and reward them with fiefdoms and titles. Then kill Shen's eldest brother and younger brother, posthumously confer the title of queen on my sister, and give her a grand funeral."
The room was dead silent.
Lu Yun was still asking for benefits for her deceased sister Lu Xuan.
Lu Yun was neither smart nor pretty enough, and she had no future in life. The thought of revenge for her sister kept her going through the difficult ten years. In her heart, her sister Lu Xuan is her belief.
Li Yuanjing and Li Chengtai, father and son, looked at each other and exchanged ideas without leaving a trace.
The Empress Dowager took Leyou by the hand and left the room with a sullen face.
Lu Yun didn't notice the change in the father and son's mood at all. She seemed to be confident of winning and said to Li Chengtai: "My sister's son has grown up. You abdicate and let him become the emperor--"
Snap——
The white jade cup in Lu Yun's hand fell to the ground with a thud. The teacup shattered and the fragrant lotus tea spilled all over the floor.
Lu Yun felt weak all over and had no strength left. She stared in astonishment: "You tampered with the tea!"
Li Chengtai's face was gloomy: "It's just a drug that makes you lose your strength - tell me the truth, what kind of evil magic did you use on my mother?"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, then said proudly: "I won't tell you! If you have the guts, torture me! But you have to be careful, this is Shen Wei's body."
The room fell into dead silence again.
Li Yuanjing lowered his voice and ordered the Tiger Guards: "Come here, go to the Imperial Mausoleum to dig out Lu Xuan's body, and go to the Dongpo tomb to dig out the remains of Duke Lu and his wife."
Lu Yun's breath was choked.
Li Yuanjing had a sinister and gloomy smile on his face: "I will grind your bones and scatter your ashes in front of you."
The wind beats against the window frames.
For a moment, Lu Yun thought that Li Yuanjing in front of her was a devil, with a surge of murderous aura all over his body, which was creepy.
