Fangfang suddenly burst into tears.
Li Qingluo hurried over and picked up Fangfang, holding him in his arms.
"Don't cry, Fangfang. Mother is here."
Fang Fang leaned against his mother's arms, feeling her warm skin, and then he slowly sobbed and closed his eyes.
Fortunately, she was very young, so she had no idea what her father and mother had just done.
The expression on Duan Rongshi's face almost broke.
Li Qingluo looked up and couldn't help laughing softly.
Duan Rongshi: ...
It seems that his queen was very happy to see him being humiliated like this?
In the end, the wet nurse and Nanny Zheng carried the little princess away, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.
When Li Qingluo came back from bathing, he found that all the curtains in the room had been drawn.
Li Qingluo couldn't figure out what he was going to do, so he opened it and dug around in it: "Ashi?"
A large hand reached out from behind the tent, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the tent.
"The night is short."
"Luo'er, have you ever thought about me during this time?"
A pair of silhouettes hugged each other tightly behind the tent.
Li Qingluo raised his head, held that stunningly beautiful face in his hands, stood on tiptoe and kissed her actively as his answer.
It was not until the next day that Li Qingluo found out that Pei Qinghong and the Zheng siblings were among the accompanying army.
The three of them have been working for Duan Rongshi in Daliang in recent years.
When Duan Rongshi is not in Daliang, they are Duan Rongshi's hand and eyes.
After Duan Rongshi and General Wan Lao formed a private alliance, General Wan Lao returned to the border and waited for Duan Rongshi's call.
The Zheng siblings were also sent to other armies by Duan Rongshi. Both of them were scheming and resourceful people, so it was not difficult for them to quickly take up some important positions in the army.
As for Pei Qinghong, he became the leader of the shadow guards left behind in Jinling by Duan Rongshi, which made the waters of Jinling increasingly muddy, and also added fuel to the fire to make the Crown Prince Duan Rongjue and Princess Xiyue increasingly irreconcilable. This was also due to his contribution.
After the westward expedition, several groups of people gathered together and now have made different military achievements.
However, Li Qingluo heard that the Zheng siblings and Pei Qinghong were all asking for permission to leave.
"It seems that the Zheng siblings are in the old lady's courtyard right now. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Of course Li Qingluo has to go!
The grudges from the past haven't been settled yet, and they both want to leave like this?
She stood up with a cold look on her face, asked someone to carry Fangfang away, and then she rushed to her grandmother's yard.
"Old Madam, my sister and I owe you a debt of gratitude that we will never be able to repay in this lifetime."
"If there is an afterlife, we will definitely repay you with a gift of grass and a ring!"
When Li Qingluo came in, the Zheng siblings were kowtowing to Old Madam Pei.
Madam Zheng gave a command: "The Queen is here——"
Everyone in the courtyard immediately knelt down to greet him.
"Welcome, Her Majesty the Queen."
Except for Mrs. Pei.
Because Li Qingluo had announced to the world that his grandmother Pei would never have to kneel down to him.
"Everyone, get up."
"Luo'er meets grandmother."
Li Qingluo paid his respects to Madam Pei first as he did in the past.
Madam Pei patted her hands and said, "Your status is different now. Don't pay your respects to Grandmother in front of others."
Li Qingluo: "Who dares to tell anyone? Luo'er's visit to Grandmother is always above board and right and proper."
Even after Li Qingluo became a mother, she still had to pay her respects to her grandmother as before.
Madam Pei looked at her with a doting and gentle expression, "No one's going to care about you now. If you act so capriciously again when you return to the Imperial City, will those pedantic old men and civil servants impeach Grandmother?"
Li Qing felt wronged.
She said, the more you control the world, the more you lose.
Mrs. Pei didn't care about her grievance, but just kept winking at her, asking her to look at the other two people standing beside her.
Li Qingluo knew that they were the Zheng siblings.
So when she gave them a look, Zheng Lingzhou and Zheng Wanxiu immediately knelt down again.
"Empress, it was my brother and I who wronged you in the past. We have done many things to hurt you, and we know that no matter what we do, we can never make up for what we owe you."
"If your Majesty wishes to punish us, we two sinners will have no complaints!"
Mrs. Pei didn't know the truth that the Zheng siblings wanted to use Li Qingluo's life to exchange for Li Jingchuan's life.
Therefore, she didn't know how much grievance Li Qingluo had endured.
However, after Li Qingluo returned to her previous life and saw that Li Jingchuan would rather commit suicide than follow her mother and uncle's wishes and harm her biological sister, Li Qingluo accepted Li Jingchuan in her heart.
As for the Zheng siblings, she had originally planned to never see them again in this life.
But now that they were here, she felt that some things and grudges could be truly resolved if they were explained clearly.
"Zheng Lingzhou, what qualifications do you have to resign?"
"Do you think that your military achievements can offset your sins?"
"If you hadn't suddenly rushed out and blocked our way home, Sui'er wouldn't have been killed!"
Zheng Lingzhou's face was filled with shame: "I, the guilty minister, can pay with my life!"
As he said this, Zheng Lingzhou drew out the dagger from his body and prepared to commit suicide.
Zheng Wanxiu cried out softly and hugged him: "Ling Zhou, don't be confused!"
"If you're gone, our Zheng family will be completely cut off!"
Zheng Wanxiu turned around with red eyes and kowtowed to Li Qingluo.
"Back then, I, the wicked minister, had kidnapped the Empress several times and tried to murder her. If the Empress wants to kill someone, please kill me—"
