Chapter 1417: Determined to die, the final test!

Li Chengru followed the team that came to announce the decree and walked towards the queen's bedroom. The eunuch who was beaten was nowhere to be seen. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have gone there to file a complaint.

"Wow~"

When he reached the door of the Queen's bedroom, he looked up and swallowed his saliva involuntarily. His own Shufangzhai was no match for that that place.

Queen Nanqing's bedroom is called Yong'an Palace. As the residence of the mother of a country, it does not refer to just a palace, but an entire palace complex. It looks particularly beautiful under the setting sun, with thousands of palaces hidden in the sunset and thousands of lights illuminating the horizon.

The tall hall was hung with precious calligraphy and paintings and carvings, and the delicate stone walls were engraved with various auspicious patterns, highlighting the magnificence of the royal family.

Eunuchs and palace maids passed by from time to time. It was estimated that there were hundreds of people serving in the entire palace.

There was a palace maid in her 20s standing at the door. When she saw Li Chengru, she bowed slightly, but the smile on her face looked a little fake.

"Your Highness, please come in!"

"Hmm~"

I was led into the Yong'an Palace. It took me more than ten minutes to walk from the entrance to the reception room. You can imagine how big the area is.

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will go in and report to Her Majesty first."

"it is good!"

Li Chengru had no choice but to continue standing there waiting, but fortunately the Queen did not have the same bad habit as Emperor Qing, so she was called in after waiting for only a few minutes.

The main hall of Yong'an Palace is nine bays wide and five bays deep, with a double-eaved hip roof covered in yellow. The upper eaves are single-curved double-raised seven-step brackets, and the lower eaves are double-raised five-step brackets. The inner and outer eaves are painted with golden dragons and seals, and the ceiling beams are painted in a very unique way.

Moreover, the decoration inside the bedroom is very gorgeous, which is almost in stark contrast to the simplicity of my cheap father's previous bedroom.

There were quite a few people in the hall, but only one of them was sitting on the phoenix chair. It was undoubtedly the Queen.

The queen in a feudal dynasty is the mother of all children. No matter how she is called in private, she needs to kneel in such formal occasions, otherwise she would be considered disobedient and unfilial.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

"Get up~" The queen raised her hand.

Li Chengru stood up and saluted: "Thank you, mother!"

Only then did I see the queen's appearance clearly. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a pair of triangular eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows. Against the backdrop of the phoenix crown and bridal robe on her body, she looked elegant and graceful.

"The eldest prince is now 7 years old. I, as the queen, have been incompetent and have been negligent in disciplining you. What have you done recently? Have you learned to read and write?"

"To answer my mother's question, my father recently gave me a token and asked me to go to a place called Taiping Bieyuan. For now, I can only recognize some common characters!"

Knowing why she called him here, Li Chengru's main strategy was to shirk responsibility and put the blame on Emperor Qing. Of course, he wouldn't dare to do that if it was in the palace, because Emperor Qing was the grandmaster.

When the queen heard the name Taiping Villa, her face turned pale with anger. This was simply the biggest nightmare in her heart, and her hands involuntarily clenched the handrails.

"Empress!" The nanny next to her whispered a reminder when she saw this.

"Huh~" The queen let out a breath and suppressed the unhappy emotions in her heart.

"What...what did you do there?"

"There's nothing much to do, but there are lots of delicious food and fun things to do there!"

The eunuch standing next to the queen had an obvious slap mark on his face. He was very good at observing people's expressions and when he saw the queen's expression, he thought he had an opportunity.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Nonsense! How dare you lie in front of the queen? We have made inquiries during this period of time. You have been going there early and coming back late every day for the past few months~" Seeing this, Li Chengru played to his child's strengths and threw himself to the ground and crawled forward, tears streaming down his face at the same time.

"Mother, please make the decision for me. This dog servant has no respect for his parents. How dare he act so presumptuously before you even say anything?"

Although it is said that one has to look at the owner before beating the dog, this is an extraordinary period and the queen did not want to create any more trouble, so she just said it lightly.

"You have no rules. Go down and receive your punishment!"

"I... this old slave obeys your order~"

When the eunuch saw that his revenge failed, he instantly turned pale.

The Queen saw that she couldn't get anything out of the question and didn't feel anything was wrong, so she had no interest in saying anything more. She hated everyone who had been there!

So he warned: "You should go down too. You should study more in the future. As a prince, don't always go out of the palace to hang out!"

"I will follow my mother's teachings!" Li Chengru bowed politely, knowing that he had passed this hurdle.

After waiting to leave, the queen still felt that it was better to be safe than sorry, so she held her head and looked at her trusted nanny.

"I asked you to pay more attention to Shufangzhai before. Is there anything wrong?"

"To answer your question, I haven't found anything yet. It's just that the eldest prince doesn't like to study very much. He likes to play with spears and sticks and is quite naughty~"

"Then don't worry about him for now. Send a message to my father later. Keep it a secret during this period, otherwise the whole family will be executed!"

"Yes, sir!" the nanny saluted.

……

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye it was October. A month had passed.

During this stage, apart from cultivation, people also practiced martial arts. With the use of true qi, Xingyiquan had reached its peak at this time. If it were in the Republic of China, it would definitely be a master of martial arts.

In fact, Li Chengru was still unwilling to give up and originally wanted to go out and remind her, because Ye Qingmei had been pregnant for a month and was about to give birth.

However, when he reached the door, he found that his token was no longer effective. He was blocked by the guards at the gate and looked at the heavily guarded palace.

Li Chengru understood instantly that the Queen had already started to act, and there were probably many people behind the scenes fanning the flames, including his cheap grandmother, the Queen Mother. And that aunt Li Yunrui!
The estimated time was almost up. Although I didn't know the news from the outside world while in the palace, I did not return to my room to practice as usual that night.

Li Chengru used his Qinggong skills and jumped directly to the top of the eaves, letting the cold wind blow his clothes.

He really admired Ye Qingmei. Not everyone had the courage to face death. If he hadn't taken care of his body and his children, he would have wanted to have a bottle of wine to cheer himself up.

With a bitter look on her face, she murmured: "She is tired of this world!"

How could Ye Qingmei, such a smart woman, not guess the undercurrents in Kyoto? The fact that she didn't take any action simply meant that she had made up her mind to die. Otherwise, no one could stop her if she wanted to leave!

Even the Grandmaster Emperor Qing was the same. No matter whether he went to Dongyi City or Northern Qi, Ye Qingmei was still an honored guest. After all, the Grandmasters of these two places were all created by her!
In other words, Ye Qingmei is fed up with it. She doesn't like this society that treats human life as worthless. She can't fit in no matter what. The world where everyone is equal is her home!
I have done so much and changed so much, but the world remains unchanged. I have worked so hard to help Emperor Qing ascend to the throne, but the other party is full of fear and suspicion. How could he not notice anything?

Or maybe this is also a test for Emperor Qing. If he passes it, she will probably use all her strength to help him achieve unification.

Of course, Ye Qingmei also understood that the possibility of failure was relatively high, so she made so many arrangements, such as naming her son "Fan Xian".

"This world is not worthy of you!" Li Chengru said and jumped down from the roof. He wanted to see what gift Ye Qingmei left for him. He had brought it back more than a month ago and had never opened it...
