After saying that, she turned to leave, but was stopped by Huibai who caught up with her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't go. You have always been kind to Huibai. It's all Huibai's fault."
"No, it's my fault!" Lu Qingyan and Huibai pulled and tugged at each other, and Huibai's head hit a stone on the road.
"Ah!" Lu Qingyan fainted upon seeing the pool of blood on the ground. Sigh, even playing the weak can lead to injury. Maybe next time I should try being a girl.
The system mercilessly attacked Lu Qingyan: "[No, I think Master could be considered a female hooligan.]" Ever since the strategy was activated, Master has been heading further and further down an indescribable path.
Having eliminated the traitor within her own ranks, Lu Qingyan was in a good mood.
On the other hand, Jun Jiuxian acted quickly. For a time, the most discussed topic in the capital was Bai Li's disappearance. Meanwhile, Lu Qingyan's spies in the palace were also busy. They spun stories about the former Consort Li, now Bai Li, and spread them around, making her the most talked-about person in the palace for a time.
Half a month later, Zongzheng Shen, who was always calm and indifferent, finally couldn't wait any longer and announced that he would hold a celebration banquet for Jun Jiuxian, who had made great contributions in this battle. If Lu Qingyan and Jun Jiuxian were not mistaken, Zongzheng Shen would take the opportunity to officially introduce his newly acquired white oriole at the celebration banquet.
Zongzheng Shen was also worried that things might change if the matter dragged on for too long. He had originally planned to have the palace make proper preparations, but now that Jun Jiuxian had almost turned the entire capital upside down, and rumors were circulating in the palace, he couldn't wait any longer and decided to get Bai Li out of the way first.
As for the future, I will make it up to her even more and treat her better. I will definitely not mistreat her!
But the truth is that now is the worst time. If Zongzheng Shen exposes himself now, isn't he just slapping Jun Jiuxian and the world in the face?
"Go and invite Consort Li to come here." As soon as Lu Qingyan received the news, she thought of Consort Li. Although Consort Li was favored, she had not shown her face much. It was time to let her meet with the ministers of the previous dynasty.
Although she was a pitiful person in this deep palace, how could Lu Qingyan be the kind of kind-hearted, self-sacrificing saint?
Haha, you're overthinking it.
However, she would never easily waver from the decision she made from the very beginning.
Huixiang obeyed Lu Qingyan's orders and went to carry them out. Recently, Lu Qingyan seemed to have changed completely. She was no longer jealous of Zongzheng Shen. The people below were initially surprised and incredulous, but later got used to it. Now, no one thought Lu Qingyan was strange. On the contrary, they thought she was just born with such a good personality.
Consort Li was invited over, dressed in a palace dress that was half new and half old. Although Emperor Zongzheng had neglected her recently because of Bai Li, Lu Qingyan had rewarded her several times. Although the rewards were either mainly for decoration or not suitable for wearing, she still needed Lu Qingyan's help in some aspects, so she could not fall out with Lu Qingyan.
The palace servants must have already told her why Lu Qingyan had invited her, because she looked grateful and bowed to Lu Qingyan upon seeing her: "Thanks to Your Majesty's thoughtfulness, otherwise I would have been quite worried today."
Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow and said, "It's good that Consort Li knows. I called you here hoping you would perform well. If you disgrace the royal family, you might as well give up your position as consort."
Lu Qingyan spoke arrogantly, but no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
