Chapter 41
Xun Qingyi happily left with the pile of cloth.
After sending Xun Qingyi away, Li Ningyun slowly returned to the bedroom.
The original owner, Li Yun, was the infatuated second male lead in this small dimension and the king of Yunqi Kingdom.
The heroine Murong Xue is the daughter of the prime minister.
In her previous life, she married the male protagonist Fu Liangping.
Fu Liangping, the regent of Yunqi Kingdom.
He is second only to the emperor and above all others. Not only does he hold great power, he is also handsome.
Those slightly upturned peach blossom eyes look affectionate even when looking at dogs.
But everyone who knows him knows that this young regent is not so easy to control.
He is ruthless and decisive.
Anyone who has offended him will be sent to a one-stop funeral service.
The heroine Murong Xue and the original owner are childhood sweethearts.
When Murong Xue was young, she was the study partner of the original owner's younger sister.
Several people attended the Royal Academy together.
The original owner liked this cute and innocent little sister very much.
I don’t know when this love like that of a younger sister started to change.
The emperor also intended to help the original prince gain a foothold in the court.
So the original owner and the heroine Murong Xue were arranged to get married.
That night, the original owner was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
But the next day, the original owner saw the sweetheart who had kept him tossing and turning, with her eyes red and swollen from crying.
The original owner's originally passionate heart felt like being poured with a bucket of cold water.
But he couldn't bear to see his beloved sad, so he begged his father to cancel the engagement with her.
Later, when the original owner became the emperor, Murong Xue begged the original owner to grant her a marriage with the regent.
In that life, the hero and heroine lived happily together.
The original owner didn't know what happened between the two later.
Because he was poisoned.
Murong Xue handed the poison to him personally.
In the second life, the heroine Murong Xue was reborn.
She was reborn when the original owner had just ascended the throne and she had not yet asked the original owner to grant her a marriage.
At this time, the original owner was being forced by hundreds of officials to participate in the selection.
The original owner knew that he wanted to quickly integrate the major forces in the court.
The draft is the most effective method.
The original owner already knew that there was no possibility for him and Murong Xue to be together in this life.
He is not a man who would force others to do things against their will.
Because he knew that Murong Xue had a lover, he let her go without hesitation.
After all, compared to love, the country and the people of Yunqi Kingdom are his responsibilities.
He couldn't waste too much time on this kind of thing.
However, Murong Xue, who was reborn, entered the palace to participate in the selection of concubines.
Although the original owner was puzzled, to be honest, he was happy in his heart.
Even because of Murong Xue's entry into the palace, he directly ignored the controversy of the officials and made Murong Xue the queen.
There was just an episode in between.
A woman who traveled from the future.
Xun Qingyi.
She traveled through time and space and became the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
It was also at this time that he entered the palace.
Xun Qingyi was attracted by the content of the story when reading the novel.
She really liked the original owner's supporting male partner.
He is gentle, polite, affectionate, and possesses the skills of a king.
He even responds to every request of the heroine Murong Xue.
Even after becoming emperor, he did not force the heroine to take advantage of her just because he was the ruler of a country.
He also personally arranged a marriage for the heroine, allowing her to fulfill her wish and marry her sweetheart.
And when the male and female protagonists quarrel, the male supporting role will gently and patiently comfort the male protagonist.
I am afraid that misunderstandings will arise between the two of them and affect their relationship.
As for why it wasn’t the heroine who was comforted?
Because the original owner was afraid that if he met the heroine too often, the hero would misunderstand and become jealous.
But such a good second male lead was poisoned to death by the female lead.
At that time, Xun Qingyi even wanted to kill the heroine.
You can not love him, but you can’t hurt him so shamelessly!
And she’s the heroine! How can you be a human being?
Before finishing the rest of the story, Xun Qingyi was so angry that she gave up reading the novel.
Then the next day, she traveled through time and space and became the body of this young lady.
I learned that I am now in the palace and will soon see the gentle but tragic second male lead.
Xun Qingyi was very happy. She imitated the heroine's usual attire and danced in the pavilion.
Want to attract the original owner's attention.
This is the scene that Li Ningyun saw when he just traveled through time.
Today is the day when the heroine was reborn.
Before the heroine had time to enter the palace.
Xun Qingyi was directly made a concubine by the original owner.
So the next day when the heroine entered the palace, she saw Xun Qingyi, who had already become Concubine Qing.
Murong Xue felt like she was about to explode with anger, and she felt very disgusted.
After all, Xun Qingyi was noticed by Li Yun because she imitated him.
Even after being crowned queen, she was unable to completely suppress the grievances in her heart.
The reason why the heroine Murong Xue entered the palace was not because she found herself in love with the original owner.
But it was to take revenge by using the power of the original owner.
She, Murong Xue, wants Fu Liangping to die without a burial place!
This is to avenge his tragic death in the previous life!
It turned out that in the previous life, Fu Liangping was very angry because of the death of the original owner.
He directly placed Murong Xue under house arrest.
She was tortured every day.
What’s more, all of the Prime Minister’s family of more than 300 people were exiled to Lingnan by Fu Liangping.
Murong Xue was very sad.
She didn't understand why she was doing this for his own good. He had the strength and skills, so why should he be inferior to Li Yun!
If Li Yun died, Fu Liangping, the regent, could find a young child and use the emperor to control the princes.
He couldn't bear to hit Li Yun, so as his wife, what was wrong with helping him?
Why does he treat me like this without knowing what's good for me?!
So the male and female protagonists died because of the death of the male supporting role.
Murong Xue was reborn with hatred in her heart, with the purpose of avenging the Prime Minister's Mansion and herself.
But revenge requires bargaining chips.
So she naturally set her sights on Li Yun.
As long as she becomes the queen, she will have enough power to fight against Fu Liangping.
But she never expected that a person who she had no impression of in her previous life would suddenly appear on the road.
So the two naturally became enemies.
Murong Xue wanted to use Li Yun to kill Fu Liangping.
Xun Qingyi was thinking about guarding against Murong Xue, fearing that she would do something bad to Li Yun.
The harem was in chaos because of the two of them.
Li Yun had no time to take care of the two of them because of the successive rainstorm disasters in the south.
The two of them became more and more presumptuous.
They started fighting in the dark and now they are fighting in the open, and even started to interfere in the affairs of the court.
Li Yun couldn't stand it any longer, so he called the fathers of the two men into the palace. After giving them a beating, he told them to go find their own daughters.
But the two of them only lived in peace for a short period of time.
The old habits began to recur.
Because of this incident, Murong Xue even held a grudge against Li Yun.
She felt that Li Yun was useless, and that Fu Liangping, who held great power, could still gain Li Yun's trust.
Because of the experience in the previous life, Murong Xue was afraid that Li Yun would die too suddenly and Fu Liangping would act madly and recklessly again like in the previous life, so in this life Murong Xue gave Li Yun a chronic poison.
Li Yun's health became increasingly weaker. In less than half a month, he could not even attend the morning court.
He handed all matters over to the Regent Fu Liangping.
He fell into a coma immediately.
Xun Qingyi took advantage of her identity as a time-traveling girl and encouraged her family to start a business, amassing a large amount of money in a short period of time.
It fostered the ambitions of her family.
Xun Qingyi knew that he had ambitions towards his mother's family.
Because the original owner did not like her, Xun Qingyi turned from love to hate and turned evil.
Since I can't get you, I will leave you with nothing.
The Minister of Revenue felt that the Emperor would rather trust an outsider like the Regent. Why wouldn't he trust his father-in-law?
So he secretly made things difficult for Fu Liangping in the court.
Of course, he didn't dare to openly challenge the Regent.
Don't let Murong Xue know about this.
So he arranged for people to start making trouble for Fu Liangping in the court.
The Prime Minister received news from Murong Xue that the emperor would not live long.
However, his daughter, although the queen, had no children.
Who doesn't love power?
The court began to decline amidst the struggle among its own people.
Even if Fu Liangping had the ability to turn the tide, he would not be able to stop the ambitions and greed of all those officials.
In the second year after Li Yun fell into a coma, the neighboring country seized the opportunity and sent a large army to the border, destroying the country.
Fu Liangping took advantage of the chaos and carried the still unconscious original owner out of the palace.
It disappeared at this point.
Li Ningyun lay on the big bed in the bedroom and recalled the original owner's memories.
She really didn't expect this plot turn.
Who would have thought that the powerful regent was actually a loyal and patriotic young man.
But she really admires the thinking of the author of this novel (that is, me).
The male protagonist is not a love-brained person.
For the sake of the country, he could actually do such a cruel thing to the heroine.
Well! This kid has a bright future!
Li Ningyun fell into a deep sleep while thinking about this matter.
The next morning, Li Ningyun attended the morning court with Zhang Hua's help.
She saw Fu Liangping standing below her.
Zhang Hua spoke at the right moment: "If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court."
At this time, Prime Minister Murong Jingming stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Li Ningyun nodded: "Prime Minister, please speak freely."
Murong Jingming: "Your Majesty, three provinces in the south, including Fu Province, have been hit by heavy rains, and the crops in the fields of the people have been flooded by the rain."
After a brief thought, Li Ningyun looked at the Minister of Revenue who was quietly lowering his presence.
Minister of Revenue Zhang Chao shrank his neck when he felt Li Ningyun's gaze.
Li Ningyun rolled his eyes inwardly.
With your weight of over 200 pounds, how small can you get?
"Where is Minister of Revenue Zhang Chao?"
Zhang Chao realized that he could not escape.
After sighing inwardly, he swung his belly, which was about to hit his instep, and came to Li Ningyun: "Your Majesty, this old minister is here."
Li Ningyun looked at him and asked, "How much money can the Ministry of Revenue provide for disaster relief?"
Zhang Chao sighed and said in a tone full of resentment, "Your Majesty, as you know, there have been a series of natural disasters in recent years, and neighboring countries are also eyeing us covetously and causing chaos on the border. The army's food and fodder are also a considerable expense. The Ministry of Revenue simply cannot provide much money and food."
Li Ningyun also knew this.
"You all know the situation of the national treasury. Now, please think of a solution."
A civil official thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. Why not withdraw the troops guarding the border? This will save a lot of money."
Li Ningyun was stunned. Is this guy mentally ill?
Not only Li Ningyun, everyone in the hall looked at the person who proposed the solution as if he were a fool.
"What's your name?"
The minister, believing he had been recognized by the emperor, raised his chin slightly, a flicker of pride in his eyes. "Your Majesty, my name is Zhang Kang, the Chief Clerk of Zhongzhou. My term of office expired two days ago, and I returned to the capital to report on my work. I have come here today to report to Your Majesty."
Li Ningyun smiled and looked at Fu Liangping, who had remained silent. "Prince Regent, I leave this man to you. I hope such a person will never appear in this hall again. I will also conduct a thorough investigation to find out how such a person managed to reach the sixth rank. Do you understand?"
Fu Liangping looked at Li Ningyun in surprise.
Why is the emperor so decisive today?
But he was happy to see it happen.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fu Liangping directly ordered the palace guards to take Zhang Kang away.
As soon as Zhang Kang came to his senses from his elation, he was pulled away by the palace guards.
He shouted at Li Ningyun in a panic: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Cousin, please help me beg Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Li Ningyun raised an eyebrow and looked at the Prime Minister: "Who is Zhang Kang's cousin? Come out and let me take a look."
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am the old minister."
Li Ningyun smiled and said, "Prime Minister, your cousin is quite young. Don't be too nervous. I have no intention of implicating him. Let's wait until the Regent finds out the truth before dealing with him."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, let's leave the court. As for the disaster relief grain, I'll think about it later."
"Oh, by the way, Prince Regent, please follow me to the Imperial Study."
Li Ningyun looked at the Regent Fu Liangping who had just returned.
Prime Minister Murong Jingming was relieved that the emperor did not investigate the matter further.
After the court was dismissed, Li Ningyun and Fu Liangping sat opposite each other in the imperial study, without waiting for the two to say anything.
Zhang Hua came and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister requests an audience."
Li Ningyun raised an eyebrow: "Let him in."
When the Prime Minister came in, he bowed quickly and said, "I, your Majesty, have a request."
Li Ningyun gestured to Zhang Hua to help Murong Jingming up, and said with feigned concern, "My dear, what are you doing? Please stand up quickly. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Murong Jingming sighed and said, "This old minister would like to ask for an imperial decree on behalf of my daughter. She told me yesterday that she wanted to enter the palace. I thought that the emperor and my daughter have known each other since they were young, so I shamelessly came to ask your majesty's opinion."
Li Ningyun smiled and touched his chin in a puzzled manner: "If I remember correctly, my father granted me a marriage with this Miss Murong two years ago, right?"
Zhang Hua, standing by, hurried forward and said in a whisper that could be heard throughout the study, "Your Majesty, yes, the late emperor did grant you a marriage with Miss Murong, but later your majesty and the late emperor requested an imperial decree to annul the engagement."
Li Ningyun looked at Zhang Hua with a distressed look on his face. "Oh? What's the reason that made me ask my father to cancel the engagement?"
