Nanyang City.
Qingli stayed in the monastery for two days. She ate well, slept well, and the imperial physician personally made medicine for her to nourish her body. She felt really comfortable.
In these two days, her body has recovered a lot.
There were many people outside the courtyard, all guarding her.
She had no intention of escaping for the time being, so she lived there peacefully.
Su Qingyue hadn't seen Qingli for two days and was very worried. One day, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor to inquire about Qingli's situation.
The emperor did not refuse to see her. He had her summoned to the imperial study. When she entered, she met Nangong Rong, whom she had rejected verbally before.
When Nangong Rong saw Su Qingyue here, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Su Qingyue was still wearing a veil at this time, but Nangong Rong recognized her at first sight.
"Sister Su was originally planning to marry His Majesty, and now she is the queen! I was wondering why she rejected me so decisively."
Nangong Rong spoke in a sarcastic tone and looked at Su Qingyue with disdain.
It's not hard to hear a hint of sourness and a strong sense of disdain in that tone.
Su Qingyue smiled and said calmly, "Mr. Rong, has anyone ever told you that you are a bit arrogant? No wonder His Majesty doesn't like you and prefers your brother Nangong Mo. Why don't you just give up the throne! Let Nangong Mo be the heir, so that he can take over in the future."
This irrelevant remark instantly made Nangong Rong nervous, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did your Majesty say that he liked Nangong Mo? Stop trying to sow discord here."
Seeing his obviously flustered look, Su Qingyue smiled and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Your Majesty said exactly what he said. Nangong Rong is a hypocritical person who does things carelessly. He is really not up to the task. In comparison, Nangong Mo is more thoughtful and steady in his work and behavior."
After Su Qingyue finished speaking, Nangong Rong's face really darkened.
The uglier his face looked, the happier Su Qingyue became. She continued, "Your Majesty's eyes can see everything, and his ears can hear everything. It's impossible to hide anything from him. Your Majesty doesn't like people who think too much. Rongshi, you just happen to think too much."
After saying that, Su Qingyue turned and went in, without even looking at Nangong Rong.
And Nangong Rong not only hated Su Qingyue, but also remembered Nangong Mo in his heart.
놆 ah! But he still has a younger brother, who is born to his stepmother, but is indeed the legitimate son of the royal family. If he wants to settle things himself, then whether it is the heir apparent or the throne, it can all be Nangong Mo's.
He had neglected his younger brother too much in the past. From today on, he had to pay more attention to him.
Su Qingyue knew these contenders for the throne too well. In the past, Nangong Mo, that second-generation rich kid, was good at walking chickens and fighting dogs, eating, drinking and having fun, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. These were all his protective colors. Nangong Rong, the arrogant one, always felt that everything was under control and never took Nangong Mo seriously. But in the end, this person he didn't take seriously defeated him, leaving him lying in bed for the rest of his life, unable to take care of himself and suffering for the rest of his life.
Now that she had instigated him, Nangong Rong would definitely pay attention to Nangong Mo. It would be best for these two to fight now.
Su Qingyue came to the imperial study and bowed politely.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Kneeling on the ground, Su Qingyue was not convinced in her heart. She used to think that the emperor was a wise ruler, but now she didn't think so. This tyrant robbed people on the street for no reason, just like a bandit.
"Get up!"
The emperor's voice rang out.
Su Qingyue stood up.
The emperor looked at her and saw that she was still wearing a veil, so he frowned and said, "Don't wear this veil anymore."
Su Qingyue frowned. Why did the emperor care about whether people wore veils or not? Why was this emperor becoming more and more weird?
"Your Majesty, I am not good-looking as a girl. I am afraid that it will scare everyone. I am wearing a veil."
The emperor was amused and said calmly, "Didn't Sister Su say last time that she was disfigured and had to wear a veil? Why is she not so pretty now?"
Su Qingyue now wants to enter the officialdom, so her appearance cannot be damaged. She has rejected the idea of using disfigurement to break up the marriage.
So at this time, he did not mention his disfigurement in front of the emperor.
She replied indifferently, "It's healed now. I got scratched on the face last time and some blood came out. Now I've applied some ointment and it's almost healed now."
"Your Majesty, where is my sister?"
Not wanting to talk about this with the emperor, she quickly changed the subject.
Speaking of Qingli, the emperor said angrily, "She is fine, you don't have to worry. She eats well, sleeps well, and recovers well."
When the people behind him came to report this, the emperor felt inexplicably irritated.
Wasn't she scared when they said they were going to lock her up that day? After he left, she didn't seem to be afraid at all. She treated his territory as her own home, ordered his subordinates around, and lived a very comfortable life.
Su Qingyue's tone was not good, "Your Majesty, I asked where my sister is? Are you going to imprison my sister? And you don't allow me to see her?"
The emperor's face was expressionless, and his tone was a little cold, "Sister Su, Qingli poisoned me four years ago. Sister Su knows the rumors that I will not have an heir, right?"
Su Qingyue was a little surprised! The emperor actually mentioned the matter of extinction in person.
She neither nodded nor shook her head, feeling a little awkward.
The emperor glanced at her and continued, "The reason why I am childless is because Qingli gave me medicine. It is because of the medicine that I am childless. Do you think I should settle this account with her?"
Su Qingyue was frightened, and gave the emperor a sterile drug!
This...how can Ali be so bold?
Su Qingyue regretted very much at this moment. She did not stop the emperor that day and let him take Qingli away. With such a big body, Qingli must be imprisoned somewhere and tortured now.
Su Qingyue's heart ached terribly whenever she thought of that scene.
The emperor continued, "Su Qingyue, do you know what crime you are accused of for taking medicine from me?"
Su Qingyue shuddered immediately, she knew that it was a serious crime that would punish the entire clan.
She swallowed fearfully, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"If Qingli is a member of the Su family, then the entire Su family should be executed. Are you sure Qingli is your sister?"
"If you don't want to, please don't ask about Qingli's whereabouts anymore, Sister Su. There are some things I can pretend I don't know."
The emperor's meaning was very clear, and Su Qingyue also understood it.
She said calmly: "Your Majesty, it's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone. You said Qingli gave you medicine, do you have any evidence? You can't just decide our life and death with just one word because you are your Majesty, our monarch!"
"Your Majesty, please let me see my sister. I will ask her if this happened. Your Majesty, you must not wrongly accuse someone of poisoning without any evidence."
The emperor looked at Su Qingyue in surprise. He thought that after listening to his words, Su Qingyue would choose to break up with Qingli. He was actually willing to acknowledge her as his sister. It was really courageous and showed a deep sisterly love!
