Chapter 12 That's it

As the night darkened, the hall gradually cooled down, and everyone who was watching the spirit felt drowsy.

Xiao Luzi ran in from the outside, saying that prayer rituals have been prepared in the Buddhist hall at the back, and all concubines and concubines should go immediately.

Su Qingyuan's heart trembled, she quickly stood up: "In that case, let's go over quickly."

"Please stop, Empress Dowager," Xiaoluzi bowed to block her way, "Master Guiyi said: when performing rituals in the Buddhist hall, one of the most valuable female relatives must be left in the mourning hall—that's natural." It is you, Queen Mother."

After hearing what he said, Su Qingyuan's face immediately turned pale.

Concubine Cheng held her hand, unable to bear to let go.

Su Qingyuan gathered herself together, forced herself to be calm and said: "Cheng Taifei stay with me, you take the rest of the people there."

Xiao Luzi bowed down respectfully: "The queen mother forgives the sin: Master Guiyi has instructed that only the queen mother is allowed to stay in the mourning hall. It is related to the well-being of the world, and the servant dare not make arbitrarily assertive opinions."

Su Qingyuan knew that Lu Li was playing tricks, but she couldn't expose it.

He even moved out "the welfare of the world", what else could she say?
Seeing this, Concubine Cheng had no choice but to pat her on the back of her hand, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, there are court ladies and eunuchs serving in the palace, and you won't really be left alone."

Su Qingyuan had no choice but to reluctantly let go, and watched Princess Cheng leave with everyone.

Xiao Luzi didn't even say a single extra word, he waved his hands and led the palace ladies and eunuchs back together.

By the way, he closed the door.

Seeing the last ray of moonlight squeezed out of the door, Su Qingyuan's heart clenched tightly.

The candlelight in the hall was dim, and the sandalwood incense was curling up, making it look lonely and gloomy.The ice blocks under the Zi Palace melted a lot, and the cold air emerged from behind the barrier, penetrating into the depths of the human bone marrow.

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, faced the direction of Zigong, and staggered down.

When he straightened up again, his back hit a familiar chest.

Su Qingyuan immediately froze, too frightened to move.

A chuckle sounded next to my ear: "Lao Mu has been waiting for a long time."

"I didn't..." Su Qingyuan retorted subconsciously.

Lu Li tightened his arms around her waist, and smiled teasingly, "A woman who was hugged from behind in the middle of the night without being startled, and said she wasn't waiting for anyone? If you weren't waiting for me, you were waiting for me." who?"

Su Qingyuan was speechless, so she raised her head and looked at the spiritual tablet of Emperor Daxing above the altar.

"Do you like it there?" Lu Li asked with a smile in her ear.

Before Su Qingyuan had time to comprehend the meaning of this sentence, she suddenly felt that she was lifted into the air, and it was actually Lu Li who hugged her.

Then, her back touched the cold table—it was the half-person-high rosewood altar table.

Su Qingyuan's eyes widened in horror: "Lu Li, this is the mourning hall..."

"I know. The ghost of the old man is watching us." Lu Li raised the corners of his lips and revealed a meaningful smile.

Su Qingyuan thought he must be crazy.

Lu Li stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "I like the place you chose."

Su Qingyuan evaded his love in vain, crying and pleading: "Lu Li, stop here! You know better than me what the consequences of doing this are..."

"What do you mean by 'doing this'? I don't quite understand, please clarify, Empress." Lu Li's tone was very gentle.

Knowing that he was teasing her, Su Qingyuan felt more and more humiliated and resentful, so she didn't want to say any more.

Lu Li easily untied the belt of her mourning dress: "The empress mother is so filial, she looks very charming. The emperor is alive in the sky, so he must be moved."

"Lu Li, don't do this..." Su Qingyuan tried to block his restless hand with all her remaining strength.

Lu Li smiled lowly: "The ceremony in the Buddhist hall will end soon. If you delay the time any longer, I'm afraid we can only perform in front of the concubines."

Su Qingyuan's hands immediately loosened.

Lu Li took the opportunity to attack the city and seize territory, and he was not polite to her at all.

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes in despair, but she heard him whisper in his throat: "Cooperate with me obediently, otherwise——you know the consequences, Queen Mother."
