Zhuona sent both her son and daughter to the underworld. Zhuona hated her and the Changsun family immensely.
She sent Changsun Lingyue to Southern Qi with the intention of using the Emperor of Southern Qi to avenge her two children.
But Changsun Lingyue, whose eyes were blinded by jealousy, could not think of these things at all.
She naively thought that Zhuona was really helping her!
Changsun Lingyue couldn't see Qu Li. She finished writing the letter, blew away the ink, and was about to put it into the letter holder when she heard the chorus of "The Emperor has arrived" coming from outside.
This was the first time Qu Li looked at the Emperor of Southern Qi at such a close distance.
Compared with Conti, it is just a weak copycat.
She curled her lips.
She looks like this, with ambition written all over her eyes. I don’t know how she gave birth to such a handsome son like Feng Yi.
Qu Li saw it clearly just now. When he heard the chorus, a hint of disgust quickly flashed in Changsun Lingyue's eyes.
She secretly guessed that as a proud person like Changsun Lingyue, she always wanted to be the queen of a country, as if only in this way could she prove her excellence.
Although she has indeed become the most beloved woman of the Emperor of Southern Qi, the Emperor of Southern Qi is just an old man and naturally cannot compare with the young emperor.
The most important point is that the Emperor of Southern Qi only gave her the title of Imperial Noble Consort, and the position of Queen was a long way off for her.
She found a seat and took some snacks she had made earlier, intending to watch the drama between the old emperor in the deep palace and his scheming concubine.
"Your Majesty, I greet you." Changsun Lingyue stood up and bowed.
The Emperor of Southern Qi clearly liked her and immediately reached out to help her up. "My beloved concubine injured her leg earlier. I have already said that these empty formalities will be dispensed with from now on."
Changsun Lingyue's lips curled up gently: "There are still so many palace maids, it's unreasonable after all."
"As long as I think it's appropriate!" The Southern Qi Emperor took her hand and walked to the desk. "What were you doing just now, my beloved concubine?"
"I want to paint plum blossoms."
"oh?"
Because Southern Qi was located in the south, the four seasons were not distinct, so naturally there were no plum blossoms.
Qu Li inexplicably thought of Feng Yi. Most people in Southern Qi had dark skin, and he was a special one.
"Just when I was about to paint, the Emperor arrived."
Qu Li was shocked.
Changsun Lingyue really lies without hesitation. She was clearly communicating with Zhuona just now, but she actually said that she was planning to paint plum blossoms?
A cunning look flashed in her eyes, and she flicked her finger and shot out a stream of internal force towards Changsun Lingyue.
"Ah!" Changsun Lingyue cried out in pain.
“Pah—”
A lottery box fell from her sleeve and rolled to the feet of the Emperor of Southern Qi.
Changsun Lingyue's face suddenly changed, and her heart suddenly rose. She watched nervously as the Emperor of Southern Qi bent down to pick up the fortune stick.
"What is this? Is my beloved concubine communicating with someone in secret?"
Since ancient times, emperors who have been in high positions for a long time have generally become very suspicious.
There was a hint of inquiry in the eyes of the Emperor of Southern Qi, and his brows were furrowed.
Changsun Lingyue clenched her fingers and tried her best to remain calm.
"This is a fortune slip I wrote to pray for the Emperor."
The Emperor of Southern Qi raised his eyebrows and stared at her judgingly.
Zhangsun Lingyue looked aggrieved, her eyes red. "Your Majesty, do you not believe me? If you don't believe me, then open it and read it! But before that, I want Your Majesty to promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
The Emperor of Southern Qi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"If this fortune stick is opened and the fortune sticks inside are indeed the ones I prayed for Your Majesty, please allow me to leave the palace! I don't want to live in doubt and speculation every day!"
The Emperor of Southern Qi's heart skipped a beat and his expression changed instantly.
Qu Li couldn't help but give Changsun Lingyue several big thumbs up in his heart.
Her acting skills are even better than Bai Fengyao's!
The Emperor of Southern Qi was obviously taken in by her tricks. Instead of insisting on continuing to check the contents of the fortune-telling box, he hugged her in his arms.
Changsun Lingyue sobbed and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I know that Feng Yi has broken your heart after what happened last time, but I will not betray you!"
The Southern Qi Emperor raised his hand and gently patted her back: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you! My beloved concubine has devoted herself to me. How could I doubt you?"
The two exchanged a few more words, all of which were filled with meaningless lovey-dovey talk, and Qu Li felt like vomiting after listening to it.
She was about to go out for some fresh air when she heard Changsun Lingyue stop crying and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go to the temple to pray for you."
"Those temples are deep in the mountains. My beloved concubine's legs are not in good condition. How can I bear to let you suffer?"
There were still tears on Changsun Lingyue's eyelashes, and she looked at me with pity.
"I only hope that Your Majesty can be safe and happy. As for the rest, I have no other requests!"
In just a few words, she spoke with such sincerity that if Qu Li didn't know her character, he might have been moved.
The Southern Qi Emperor pondered for a moment, "Alright! Bring a few more people with you. If I'm free, I'll come find you."
Changsun Lingyue's expression changed instantly.
It was obvious that she was going to the temple not to pray for the Emperor of Southern Qi.
Thinking of the secret letter just now, she immediately guessed that it was very likely that Zhuona's people had secretly come to Nanqi. Anyway, they had to meet anyway, so she would most likely meet them at the temple.
This news is very important. Qu Li plans to go back quickly to discuss it with Feng Yi.
On the other hand, Feng Yi's heart has been hanging high since Qu Li entered the palace.
Seeing her coming out, his heart relaxed and he walked towards her quickly.
"Are you okay?" Feng Yi looked her up and down and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I saw a good show."
Feng Yi raised an eyebrow.
Just now, Dahao contacted the people he had placed in the palace early in the morning, and he only knew that the Emperor of Southern Qi had gone to the Lanyue Palace.
Nothing happened.
"Let's talk in the car."
The two got into the carriage, and Qu Li told him his guess.
Feng Yi's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his deep eyes filled with contemplation.
"I plan to go to the temple and see what Changsun Lingyue wants to do."
"Don't go, I'll send someone over."
"No! Zhuona was involved in this matter after all! Her children died tragically at my hands. I can't remain unscathed."
"Why don't you leave it to me?"
"I don't want to be a dodder, I want to be a comrade who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"
Her eyes were unusually bright, like stars.
Feng Yi instantly felt as if his heart was soaked in hot spring water. He stretched out his arms, held her in his arms, and kissed the top of her head.
"But I want to be your support!"
Qu Li looked into his eyes without blinking and gently touched his lips: "After this matter is resolved, I will definitely let you be my support!"
