The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

It was the first time Emperor Ming saw his nephew so angry, he quickly comforted him: "Oh! Boyue, this is not a big deal, why are you so angry."

Li Ling stood up, saluted Emperor Ming respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, please promise me, don't let the Empress do anything wrong."

If Empress Cao forced the order, no matter how unwilling Li Ling was, he would not be able to disobey the order, so Li Ling made up his mind today to make Emperor Ming nod his head.

Emperor Ming looked at Li Ling, and said helplessly: "You child, you are really a muscle. I really don't know what is so good about that Shen family. It is worth your heart and soul to treat her like this. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If you are reluctant to part with Shen Shi, then just let her stay by your side, but Qingluan is a princess, so she can't be equal to her, just reduce her to a concubine."

When Li Ling heard this, he flatly refused and said: "This matter is absolutely unacceptable. Don't say that I will never treat my wife Shen like this. Even if I have not married a wife, I will definitely not accept the Lord. I only take Qingluan as my wife." Look, sister, isn't it absurd how to marry her?"

Emperor Ming sighed slightly and said: "But Qingluan is interested in you. She has not come out until this age, and she has you in her heart. It's a pity that this child lost his mother since he was young. If you will take care of her in the future, I will feel relieved."

What's the point of this?
For the sake of his daughter, he ignored his wife and children. Li Ling was so angry that blue veins burst out on his forehead, and said coldly: "If your majesty is so hard to force you, I have no choice but to resign from his official position and bring his wife and children back home." I went to farm in the countryside."

If Li Ling was disarmed and returned to the fields, who would help fight the war?

When Emperor Ming heard this, he hurriedly replied: "You child, why are you so angry, okay, okay, if you don't want to, forget it."

Hearing this, Li Ling was finally relieved, and quickly bowed to Emperor Ming and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment."

Emperor Ming glanced at Li Ling, snorted coldly, and said, "What a dead-hearted person. He insists on hanging on a tree without enjoying the blessings of the same people. How many people are eager to honor the Lord, but you don't know good from bad, hum! Is your daughter still worried about not getting married?"

Seeing that Emperor Ming finally let go, Li Ling couldn't help but soften his expression, and echoed Emperor Ming, saying: "Your Majesty's princess will definitely find a lover."

Emperor Ming rolled his eyes at his nephew, and snorted coldly: "You don't need to say that, since you love Shen so much, what are you doing here, let's go home."

Li Ling got the order, smiled and bid farewell to Emperor Ming, he strode out of the palace, and galloped straight back home.

Empress Cao drew up the decree when she returned to Jiaofang Palace. She stared at the decree, thinking of Shen Shi and Li Ling, she still couldn't help feeling annoyed.

Yutuan'er glanced at Empress Cao's face, she offered a cup of hot water, and cautiously persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, no matter how rebellious Li Ling is, it doesn't matter how unruly Li Ling is, if your Majesty continues to obey, no matter how deeply in love he is." Shi, you want to separate from Lao Yan, after the Ninth Princess descends to the Duke's Mansion, all the plans of the Empress will naturally be fulfilled smoothly."

Up to now, Empress Cao has already made many preparations. It would be best if Qingluan can convince the old lady and Li Ling, if not, let her steal Li Ling's city tour commander card, and they can take control of the capital smoothly.

Therefore, Qingluan's pawn, Empress Cao, must be placed next to Li Ling.

Empress Cao smiled lightly when she heard the words, and murmured: "I originally planned to follow Mrs. Shen to win over Li Ling, but who knows that Mrs. Shen is not on the right track, so I can't blame Mrs. Shen."

Yutuan'er replied: "This Shen family was originally from a small family, but she was spoiled too much by the son of the Li family, which made her feel confident. She thought that with the protection of her husband, she could sit back and relax forever, but But everyone knows that in this power vortex, how can her innocence be tolerated, the empress will tell her that she will not leave, and from now on, there will be a time when she will call her incompetent every day."

Empress Cao picked up the teacup and took a sip of it gracefully. She was slightly smug, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and said: "As the saying goes, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. After being demoted to a concubine, I naturally have ways to make her regret it."

As she said that, she lowered her voice and said to Yu Tuan'er: "When the decree is announced tomorrow, you will ask them to bring out the news to your brother. These things have to be arranged quietly. If Li Ling refuses to cooperate, then Qingluan will have to marry you." After that, it’s another matter.”

Yutuan'er nodded secretly, and said in a low voice: "Since King Jin came back, Uncle Guo has already made preparations, so don't worry, empress."

Empress Cao lowered her eyes and said bitterly: "If Li Ling hadn't been in the way last time and ruined the grand plan of the palace, then King Jin would have been buried long ago, so there is no need for all this thought."

The two masters and servants are plotting here, and the maid was informed to come in, and she replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here."

Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Emperor Ming would come to Empress Cao's place to order a seat according to the palace rules, and he almost never set foot in the Jiaofang Hall on weekdays.

When Empress Cao heard that Emperor Ming was coming, she was stunned for a long time, but Yu Tuan'er urged her, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here, get ready to pick him up."

When Empress Cao heard the words, she hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes." Then she happily greeted her out of the palace with her maids and maids.

The husband and wife exchanged a few pleasantries, and Emperor Ming entered the Jiaofang Hall, and asked Empress Cao directly: "Just now Bo Yue came to meet the saint and mentioned to me that the empress threatened his wife, is there such a thing?"

Just now outside the Palace of Qinzheng, Li Ling was holding on to this matter face to face with her, but Empress Cao did not expect that he, a first-rank general, would tell Emperor Ming about this matter.

Empress Cao naturally wouldn't admit it, she pretended to be surprised and said: "How did General Li and His Majesty start talking about it? Well, what is this concubine going to do to threaten his wife? Please tell your Majesty, this is wronging my concubine." .”

Emperor Ming snorted coldly and said: "It would be best if the empress didn't do this. You are a empress. If you really did such a disgraceful thing in order to win over your subjects, I would be very disappointed at that moment."

When Empress Cao heard the words, she immediately knelt down at Emperor Ming's feet and complained, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been in charge of the harem for you for more than ten years and has always kept her duty. This matter must be General Li's wife, Mrs. Shen, who framed the concubine behind her back."

Emperor Ming asked suspiciously: "You have nothing against Mrs. Shen, why did Mrs. Shen frame you?"

Empress Cao replied: "After the concubine found out about Qingluan's thoughts, she approached Mrs. Shen and mentioned this matter to her, just to save her face, and to let her go down to court by herself. But she has a tough attitude, relying on the favor of the Li family son and refused to submit, the concubine thought, because of this, she held a grudge, so she framed the minister and concubine in front of the Li family son."

There are many women in Emperor Ming's harem, and there have always been many disputes. Emperor Ming has long been accustomed to such verbal battles. He came here today just to beat Empress Cao. Emperor Ming didn't bother to care about who he loved, nor did he care about it.

Emperor Ming waved at Empress Cao after hearing the words, "Get up."

Empress Cao got up, but she was worried that Emperor Ming would change his mind about letting Qingluan surrender to Li Ling. She glanced at Emperor Ming's face, and said tentatively: "The decree for my concubine to let Li Ling divorce his wife and marry the ninth princess has been drawn up, and I will let you go tomorrow." People go to proclaim the decree, okay?"

Emperor Ming nodded and said: "Since it has been drawn up, it should not be too late. Let's make an order tomorrow."
