Xiao Li went to the palace three or four times, but never went to see the empress dowager.
She has no filial piety at all, but considering that she still needs to use the emperor, she still needs to maintain this little bit of false family affection.
As expected, he was scolded by the Queen Mother as soon as they met.
"You haven't been seen for so many days. Why don't you wait until I die before coming back?"
Xiao Li held down her angry hand, eyes full of affection: "What are you saying, mother? I pray that you will live a long life. You must be healthy, otherwise my brother and I will be so miserable."
"My brother has been busy tracking down the murderer who frightened you these past few days. I wanted to help, but I had no evidence and couldn't catch the real mastermind. I was too embarrassed to see the Queen Mother. I was really worried today, so I came to see her. Seeing that the Queen Mother is fine, I am relieved."
When Xiao Li wants to coax someone, there is no one she can't coax, it all depends on whether she is willing or not.
All technique, no emotion.
The Queen Mother had no feelings for Xiao Li, but she did not dislike nice words. In the end, her expression just became a little cold, but she did not say any more unpleasant words.
"Xuan Yang!"
Chen Pingting chased after him and called out to Xiao Li, but Xiao Li continued walking without even turning back. She hurriedly ran after him and pulled Xiao Li aside, "I have something to tell you, why are you running?"
Xiao Li waved her hand away: "Don't get close to me, I don't talk to fools."
Chen Pingting was furious: "Who are you calling a fool?"
Xiao Li just glanced at her.
Chen Pingting felt humiliated instantly: "You...you dare to call me a fool..."
I wanted to curse, but I don't know what came to my mind, and finally gave up the argument.
"Did you really ruin the prince consort's face?"
Xiao Li sneered: "You are well-informed."
Chen Pingting was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. "How could you do this? He...even if he and Liu Xueyin are unclear, they can't be together. He is still your consort. You can scold him or beat him up to vent your anger, but how can you ruin his reputation?"
Xiao Li had a blank expression, which was why she didn't want to talk to a fool.
Coveting someone else's husband and interfering in the relationship between the couple, are these three views embedded in the placenta?
Chen Pingting wiped her tears and continued, "I also heard that you spread rumors, saying that the Lu family deliberately released the lion to scare my aunt. How could you slander him? You are trying to kill the Lu family."
How could she and Liu Xueyin be friends? Their train of thought is similar.
But she had one good thing, she actually believed that Xiao Li could kill the Lu family, she had some vision.
"Why are you crying? I thought you should be happy." Xiao Li crossed his arms and looked at her meaningfully: "The more I make a fuss, the more Lu Yanzhi will hate me, and the Lu family will hate me more. Maybe we will get divorced soon, and then you will have a chance, right?"
"Don't you want to marry Lu Yanzhi?"
"I heard that the Queen Mother has always wanted you to enter the palace as a concubine. If it weren't for the incident on the Mid-Autumn Festival, you would have become a concubine. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Isn't it destined that you and him are still destined to be together?"
Xiao Li smiled like an evil devil and tempted him slowly: "You better think about it, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. Once you become a concubine, there will be no possibility of being with him in this life."
Chen Pingting forgot to shed tears and looked at Xiao Li in disbelief: "Are you really going to do this? Don't you like him at all?"
Xiao Li: "One man's honey is another man's poison."
Chen Pingting: "I don't believe it. You obviously liked him so much before."
Wow, he still has some brains, but unfortunately they are useless.
"Before was before, now is now. Here's the chance, believe it or not."
Chen Pingting stomped her feet in anger as she watched Xiao Li's receding back. The more she looked at this man, the more hateful he became. He was someone she could easily bully before, but now he dared to bully her.
Chen Pingting didn't think Xiao Li was kind-hearted, but she didn't deny that what Xiao Li said was true.
If she continues to make trouble, they might really get divorced.
She didn't want to enter the palace as a concubine, but if she had the chance to marry Lu Yanzhi, she didn't want to miss it, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.
No, she had to leave the palace and discuss it with her mother.
As the saying goes: Desire is the bait, and the greedy will take the bait.

"Rong Qing pays his respects to the princess."
"Thank you so much, Princess, for saving me. Rong Qing will always remember your kindness. I am willing to serve you and be loyal to you, even if it means death!"
Old man Ning Chong did not lie to Xiao Li. He used good medicine and really cured Rong Qing.
Looking at the tall and strong man standing next to him, Xiao Li was very satisfied.
This guy looks majestic.
Every muscle is full of strength.
His appearance cannot be called handsome, his facial features are strong and rough, but he is not ugly. He has the kind of appearance that makes you look brave and manly at first glance.
He looks just like Xiao Li’s former bodyguard, giving him a sense of security.
"Is your leg completely healed?"
Rong Qing replied, "It's 70% healed. The rest needs to be done on the ground for exercise to allow the muscles and bones to adapt."
He stood straight with an imposing posture, and it was hard to connect him with the man who had been crawling on the ground in a mess and despair.
He no longer limped, stood up straight, and there was light in his eyes. The only thing that remained unchanged was probably his perseverance.
The more Xiao Li looked at it, the more satisfied he became. His eyes fell on the big knife in his hand. It was really a big knife. The handle was more than one meter long, and the blade was a full two meters long. Xiao Li had to look up to see it.
"Is this the Rong family sword?"
Rong Qing nodded: "Yes, the Rong family is the vanguard army. This is a saber, also known as a saber, used for cavalry confrontation."
"Can I have it?"
This knife looks majestic and domineering. It is not an antique displayed in a window, but a real killing weapon that has been carefully polished by its owner and has a sharp edge. It looks murderous.
Even though it was his most beloved ancestral weapon, Rong Qing did not hesitate at all and handed the knife directly to Xiao Li.
"Princess, please be careful. This knife is made of tungsten iron and weighs 13.6 jin. The blade is sharp and can easily injure someone."
Xiao Li touched it and said with undisguised fondness: "It's a good weapon."
"Now you deserve it."
Hearing this, Rong Qing, who had been calm all this time, was so excited that his eyes turned red. He knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Rong Qing dreamed of picking up the knife again, but with his limp, it was difficult for him to wield it, and he could only polish it again and again.
And this almost impossible dream has become a reality today.
Although it was Ning Chong's medical skills that cured him, the princess gave him the opportunity to be chosen by her. It was she who did not despise his disability and brought him back, invited the imperial physician, and brought him precious medicinal herbs that he could not get at all.
It was all because of her that he had the opportunity to stand up again and finally pick up his weapon again.
He was grateful to Xiao Li from the bottom of his heart, and his loyalty was without any falsehood. He gambled his soul and swore that he would be loyal to Xiao Li and would have no regrets even in his death.
