Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 140 She Was Under House Arrest

The little girls in the study are very careful, knowing that Su Qingyuan is afraid of the cold, they specially built a brazier to warm the bedroom.

Su Qingyuan thought that she would sleep peacefully, but after the candle by the bed was burned out, she woke up again immediately.

The pain of losing her child, the reluctance to cut off her love, the disappointment and doubts about Lu Li, the fear and longing for her parents... all kinds of emotions entangled in her heart, making her dizzy.

This night, I am afraid that I am destined to keep my eyes open until dawn again.

Su Qingyuan sat up slowly, found a candle lit on the small bedside table, and gradually felt stuffy nose and sore eyes, top-heavy, as if she was suffering from a cold.

Thinking of what she had heard before about the various disadvantages of being the root of the disease in confinement, she hurriedly shrank back to the bottom of the quilt, closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep again.

Sleepiness refused to come for a long time, but she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening from a distance.

strangeness.

In such a late night, even if someone occasionally gets up for night activities, they should go through the small door. How can there be any reason to open the front door to alarm others?
Just as he was thinking like this, he heard a mess of footsteps getting closer and closer, as if they were coming in this direction.

Su Qingyuan was startled, and quickly got up and put on her clothes.

Mo Hua's voice sounded outside: "Why is the prince here at this time? The girl has already fallen asleep!"

"Lead the way." It was Cheng Yu's voice.

Su Qingyuan frowned, got out of bed, straightened her clothes, and pulled her hair into a bun.

The footsteps were getting closer, but what followed was Mo Hua's anxious dissuasion: "My lord, this is not in line with etiquette! It is already inappropriate for you to bring a woman to a private house without authorization; now you are bringing a man here late at night." If the master finds out about breaking into the girl's boudoir, he..."

Su Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Didn't Cheng Yu say that the study was his private property, and Duke Ding didn't know about it?

Listening to the meaning behind the words of this maid, it is obviously not the case!

Duke Ding knew about this house.Moreover, this servant girl's words were cautious and polite, which was almost pedantic, and she was obviously more like someone under Ding Guogong's subordinates!

Su Qingyuan couldn't wait anymore.

Without hesitation, she pushed open the rear window and jumped out, and got into the garden with a short body.

A moment later, she heard the bedroom door being pushed open.

Then, a roar sounded: "Where are people?!"

That is--

Lu Li's voice.

Su Qingyuan didn't dare to hesitate any longer, she hurriedly got up and ran back along the path, not caring about picking up her shoes after running away.

The back garden of this house is not big, and she quickly ran to the back door.

The back door was closed, and the latch had been locked, so it couldn't be opened.

At this time, a soldier in golden armor had already chased over here.Su Qingyuan heard Lu Li's voice shouting, "Ayuan, come back!"

Su Qingyuan didn't want to go back.

It suddenly occurred to her that the thresholds of some people's back doors can be removed for the convenience of people pushing carts in and out.

Without further ado, she squatted down immediately, grasped the threshold and shook it vigorously a few times, then she lifted it up.

After removing the threshold, there is a distance between the gate and the ground, about half a foot high.

Su Qingyuan lay down on her back and rubbed against the ground.

Lu Li chased here with the Golden Armored Guards, and only had time to see a piece of her clothes covered in mud disappear in a flash—by the time he bent down, there was already nothing in front of him.

Su Qingyuan stood up outside the door, staggered and ran out along the alley.

Her back was sticky, cold and heavy, and she didn't know how much dirt was on it, but she didn't care about it.

Her stomach hurts and her head feels dizzy, but she can't control it too much.

She didn't even know why she was running.

He obviously had a lot to ask him before, but now he doesn't want to hear it anymore.

She is a person who has "died suddenly". If she doesn't disappear completely, is she still going to play tricks with him?
Inside the door, Lu Li stared at the long mark on the ground, stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up like a dream: "Quickly open the door!"

The gatekeeper was an old man with handicapped legs and feet. It took a lot of effort to walk over tremblingly and opened the door.

The alley outside the door was already empty.

"Chase!" Lu Li took the lead and rushed out.

The alley is very long, and there is nothing to cover it along the way. Obviously, people cannot hide.

However, why did the person who just left the house not long ago disappear?
Jin Jiawei split up and chased to both sides, and when they reached the intersection, they divided into several lanes and continued to chase...

But, nothing.

Lu Li stood at the entrance of the alley and waited until dawn.

The guards came back one after another, and they brought Lu Li disappointment again and again.

Cheng Yu had no choice but to stand with him, not daring to persuade him.

After dawn, Xiao Luzi found him from the palace, and said that the time to go to court had already arrived.

Lu Li turned around and looked at Cheng Yu: "Why did she run away? Why...won't she see me?"

Cheng Yu didn't know how to answer.

Lu Li walked back to the bedroom where Su Qingyuan lived in a daze, staring at the earring that fell from the pillow and the set of coarse clothes piled up in the corner that he hadn't had time to clean up, he was stunned for a while.

Cheng Yu carefully explained: "I did find her only yesterday evening—you see, she hasn't had time to throw away the clothes she wore when she was pretending to be a civilian girl."

"Of course I believe you." Lu Li smiled wryly.

Cheng Yu leaned against the table and said sadly: "I have already told you everything I know. As for why she refused to see you, I also..."

Lu Li was sad for a long time: "She is blaming me in her heart."

Xiao Luzi anxiously said from the side: "Your Majesty has knots in her heart, and it's okay if she can't figure it out for a while. It's useless for the emperor to worry about it now. Why don't you help your Majesty untie the lumps slowly—if you can find the little prince, you will be considered a great man." Misunderstandings are okay!"

Lu Li immediately raised his head.

Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "That's exactly the reason! Yuan... the empress is most worried about the fact that the child is still alive and dead. If you can find the child, she will definitely be willing to see you."

"If I can't find it, will she never see me?" Lu Li stood up and asked himself in a hoarse voice.

Cheng Yu and Xiao Luzi looked at each other, neither of them dared to answer his words.

"Go back to the palace." Lu Li sighed.

At this moment, the leader of another team of Golden Armored Guards came over and reported back, saying that he had gone to the place that Cheng Shizi had said—there was no one in the private house.

Aunt Nian still hasn't caught her.

Lu Li was sitting on the carriage back to the palace, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside helplessly, hoping for a miracle to happen.

Of course there are no miracles on the road.

It was him who thought things too simply.After learning that Su Qingyuan was in Cheng's house, he was full of joy and thought that he would see her soon, but he never expected that his A Yuan no longer wanted to see him.

What kind of disappointment and resentment forced her to run away overnight with her weak body rather than see him again?
She was living alone, if there was anything wrong, it would be because he harmed her!
and kids...

After confirming that the dead child sent to the palace that day was a hoax, he had always believed that the child was with her; it wasn't until Cheng Yu mentioned it that he knew that his child had never seen his mother since he was born. I don't know if I live or die!
Where is the child now, and what kind of situation is he going through?
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, he couldn't help but call out to the coachman to stop: "There's no need to go back to the palace."

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Luzi became anxious.

Lu Li said in a hoarse voice, "Look again. I don't feel at ease going back like this."

Xiaoluzi was so anxious that he almost cried.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu had no choice but to persuade: "Just send more people to search around here. You can rest assured that the Jinjiawei is doing things. Now that the battle situation is changing rapidly, you can't delay your business just to find someone."

"In my opinion, finding A Yuan is the most important thing!" Lu Li gritted his teeth.

Cheng Yu said sadly, "However, the military situation is urgent, and if there is any delay, the whole world will suffer—that kind of situation is the last thing Yuan'er wants to see."

Lu Li remained silent, Xiao Luzi hurriedly made a decision for him, and told the driver to leave quickly.

Lu Li was always restless, but he also knew that staying here was of no help.

In the end, he had no choice but to say to Cheng Yu: "You have always been careful, I still have to leave this matter to you..."

"Now, she might not be willing to see me." Cheng Yu showed a bitter expression.

He had promised her that he would never reveal a word to Lu Li.

But not only did he reveal it, he even brought Lu Li to find her.

She must hate him, right?

Cheng Yu was startled suddenly, and raised his head: "Who told you that Yuan'er was here with me? She just came over to set her foot down, and I immediately went to the palace to see you. Almost no one knew about it, let alone Don't say go ahead and inform you before me - the person who informs you is probably..."

Lu Li smiled bitterly, feeling powerless: "It's a little eunuch. I know he must be Aunt Nian, but so what? In the palace, there are so many people under Aunt Nian's control that you can't catch them!"

Cheng Yu became anxious: "In this way, Aunt Su really has ulterior motives! She first persuaded Yuan'er to live in my study, and then ordered someone to inform you—what is her intention?"

Lu Li murmured, "It's absolutely impossible for her to use your hand to send A Yuan back to my side, so...there must be another deep meaning behind this move."

Cheng Yu's face suddenly changed greatly: "So, Yuan'er is probably back in her hands again!"

Lu Li nodded.

Indeed, without someone's help, it is impossible for a sick and weak woman to escape without a trace in such a short time.

As for what kind of heart this "helping" person is at ease, it is really hard to say.

If Aunt Nian was really responsible for this matter, what is her purpose?

Probing?Darkness?Or is it just to create a little rift between Su Qingyuan and Cheng Yu, so as to break the last bit of ties between her and the old man in the capital?

Lu Li couldn't figure it out, Cheng Yu was even more confused.They only know that Su Qingyuan's current situation is probably worse than before.

***
At this moment, Su Qingyuan had already changed out of the ill-fitting, mud-stained robe, and put on an even more ill-fitting jacket and sat by the stove.

The cold air in his body could not be dissipated, and he was still sick.

The little maid brought ginger soup and served her to drink it, then retreated quietly.

Su Qingyuan covered her mouth and sneezed, then leaned against the stove again.

The tall man on the opposite side laughed: "Some people say that the Queen Mother of Nanyue is the reincarnation of an evildoer, and some say that the Queen Mother of Nanyue is the descendant of Avalokitesvara. But in my eyes, you are just a fool with a lonely heart. It’s just a child.—This time, you seem to have hit hard.”

Su Qingyuan dipped some cold water on her forehead with a handkerchief, curled her lips disapprovingly: "I've heard a lot of words like 'the reincarnation of the evildoer', but this is the first time I've heard of 'Guanyin descending to earth'. There should be no such thing in South Vietnam. Some people flatter me like this, you must have made up your own words in order to show off your literary talents, right? Are your poems in Xiliang so mediocre, with unlimited rhymes, and messed up?"

Bai Li Angju didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sure enough, this mouth is unforgiving. Don't you like to hear compliments?"

Su Qingyuan rolled his eyes at him: "Don't praise me, you must have no good intentions to be courteous for nothing! You think I'm stupid, how could you happen to 'pass by' that alley in the middle of the night? Would you be so kind to save me? You designed this game from beginning to end, right?"

"What... how do you say this? I saved you with good intentions, but you fell down instead?" Baili Angju put his hand on his forehead with an innocent face.

Su Qingyuan sneered: "I'm curious, how did you know that I lived in Cheng's study, and how did you know that I would escape through the back door at that time? The person who reported to you and cooperated with you is Cheng Yu? Is it a servant of the Cheng family? Or... Aunt Nian?"

Baili Angju suppressed his smile and frowned.

Seeing his face change, Su Qingyuan closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair behind her, covering her entire face with a wet veil.

At first, she really thought it was Cheng Yu who backed out and betrayed her.

But later, when Baili Angju appeared, she knew that things were not that simple.

From the time she met Cheng Yu—maybe even earlier, I'm afraid it started from Aunt Nian, this is a game!

Su Qingyuan had already vaguely guessed the purpose of the opponent setting up this game.She knew that she should keep silent at this time, but there were some words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak quickly.

Aunt Nian, Baili Angju, Xiliang, and possibly even the Iron Armored Army.

The relationship network is not complicated, but the conspiracy behind it is terrifying.

After thinking about this level, Su Qingyuan's first reaction was: tell Lu Li as soon as possible.

But then, she suppressed this thought forcefully.

Lu Li's matter has nothing to do with her.

Baili Angju stood up, walked in front of Su Qingyuan, and bent down: "If the queen mother wants to go back to the palace, the carriage in the post house will be at your service at any time."

Su Qingyuan tore off the veil and opened her eyes: "Okay. I'm going back right away, I have to trouble the sixth prince."

"Really want to go back?" Baili Angju was very surprised.

Since he was so willing to go back, why did he run away so embarrassingly last night?
Baili Angju narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Qingyuan, the alarm bells rang in his heart.

After a while, a modest smile returned to his face: "I'm afraid it won't work today. Look, it's windy and rainy outside. If I hurt the Empress Dowager's phoenix body, wouldn't it be my Xiliang's fault?"

"Is the sixth prince going to break his promise and gain weight?" Su Qingyuan sat up straight.

Baili Angju shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's not that Angju broke his promise and got fat, it's really... Now Beiyan is approaching the capital, and our army from Xiliang is not far away. Everything is complicated, and Angju should go to prepare for camping."

"So, the host is too busy, so I as a guest shouldn't bother me, shouldn't I?" Su Qingyuan raised her head and looked at him.

Bai Li Angju frowned, and said after a long time: "These days, Yan'er has been thinking about you, since the Queen Mother is here, why not see her? Tong'er, go to the back and invite the princess over!"

The boy next to him hurriedly agreed to go.

Baili Angju didn't wait for Su Qingyuan to answer, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, Queen Mother, Angju is excused."

After all, he quickly backed away.

Su Qingyuan watched his back and narrowed her eyes.

This person's conspiracy was exposed, and he didn't even want to act in a play.

She is under house arrest.

***
Bai Li Angju hurried into the front hall, and immediately said: "Didn't you say that she is much better now?"

The person sitting in front of the window turned around slowly - it was Aunt Nian who had recovered her original appearance.

She raised her head and stared at Bai Li Angju dissatisfiedly: "Why, you can't even deal with her?"

Baili Angju sat down heavily, with a sneer on his face: "If you can handle it yourself, why send it to me!"

Aunt Nian's face became even more ugly.

Bai Li Angju slapped the table and said angrily: "Before, I only thought of her as a brave and foolish girl; now, it turns out that she really is better than blue, she is much smarter than you, a mother!"

Aunt Nian said indifferently: "In fact, she may not be very smart. It's just that she is more willing to trust Lu Li and Cheng Yu than you."

Baili Angju became even more angry: "You are not talking nonsense! Now that she has guessed our plan, how can she still fall into our trap! You sent her to me, could it be that you want me to Make her an offering as an ancestor, right?—I'm afraid it's not just offering, I have to be careful not to let her tip off Lu Li! You claim to have given me a knife, but I don't know that you want me to use it To kill Lu Li, or to kill myself?"

"Sixth Prince, be safe and don't be impatient," Aunt Nian said calmly, "This knife hasn't been sharpened yet, what are you in a hurry for?"

Baili Angju's anger subsided slightly, and his face softened a bit: "You still have means? But as far as I know, your means have never been very clever."

Aunt Nian snorted coldly, and said with a calm face: "That's because you didn't cooperate well! Originally, my plan was perfect, but which time was it not for you to make things wrong? This time, you must cooperate with me all the way, otherwise don't blame me if I lose. I won't help you!"

Baili Angju narrowed his eyes, and sneered: "There's something wrong with this! We agreed that you and I are just cooperating, but now that we've made trouble, how can I, Xiliang, be your slave?"

Aunt Nian said in a deep voice, "Of course you can also choose to give up cooperation. As long as you have the confidence to deal with that little bastard Lu Li!"

"Madam, don't get angry," Bai Li Angju smiled calmly, "When did this king say 'give up cooperation'? What this king means is that the best way to swallow South Vietnam is to suppress the border with soldiers. As long as The Nanyue Kingdom is broken, so why worry about Lu Li not dying?"

Aunt Nian sneered: "First of all, even if the army invades the border, you may not be able to defeat Nanyue. Secondly, Lu Li is very good at forbearance. Even if the country is destroyed and his family is destroyed, he will not follow the example of the overlord of Western Chu who killed himself in Wujiang."

Bai Li Angju twirled his fingers and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Whether we can defeat Nanyue or not depends on the ability of my Xiliang iron cavalry; as for Lu Li's life and death, that is your own concern, but this king doesn't care."

"You!" Aunt Nian burst into anger.

But after a while, she calmed down again: "Why should the sixth prince lie to me, an old woman, if you don't speak dark words in front of the wise? If you want to take over the land of South Vietnam by force, if you can accommodate Lu Li but live in the world, don't you want Japan Can't sleep and eat every day? If you really can care about his life and death, why did you come to me in the first place?"

Baili Angju slapped his hands and smiled slightly: "That makes sense."

Aunt Nian let out a heavy "hum".

Bai Li Angju frowned again: "I'm just a little puzzled—the witch tribe's secret arts are superb, and my wife wants to kill Lu Li. Why did she not succeed after 16 years of hard planning?"

Aunt Nian's face darkened, and she said angrily: "If I succeed, there is no room for you to jump up and down!"

Bai Li Angju looked at her with interest and smiled.

Aunt Nian's face became increasingly ugly.

She has been pretending to be crazy in the palace for fifteen or sixteen years, what day does she not want to put Lu Li to death?Helplessly, Lu Li has encountered great changes since he was a child, and he has developed a cautious and suspicious temperament. How could it be so easy to succeed!
It is true that the secret arts of the witch clan are superb, but in the final analysis, the so-called "witchcraft" is just a relatively partial medical skill. How can it kill people as easily as a sword?
What's more, Lu Li's mind is different from ordinary people, and ordinary witchcraft can't help him at all!
The only breakthrough to deal with Lu Li with witchcraft is Su Qingyuan.

Aunt Nian's thoughts turned to Su Qingyuan, her expression became colder.

She no longer has much affection for her only daughter.Especially after discovering that Su Qingyuan insisted on helping Lu Li deal with her, the relationship between mother and daughter was completely severed.Now to Aunt Nian, Su Qingyuan is just a knife she uses to deal with Lu Li.

Aside from Su Qingyuan's own wishes, she is indeed a good knife.

Only she can make Lu Li defenseless; at the same time, only she can make Lu Li - life is worse than death.

Aunt Nian looked up at Baili Angju and gritted her teeth.

It's fine if this person doesn't intend to cooperate, as long as Su Qingyuan is in her hands, Lu Li will die in her hands sooner or later!
Thinking of this, Aunt Nian snorted coldly, got up and left.

"Madam Su, please stay." Bai Li Angju followed suit and stood up.

Aunt Nian's expression darkened immediately: "What did you call me?"

Bai Li Angju smiled calmly: "You are General Su's wife, is there anything wrong with calling you that?"

Aunt Nian became more and more angry: "You and I get what we need, so I didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. I just pretended not to see you hooking up with that old thief; you brought me to you I can bear to show the secret map of the tunnel to that old thief; but you—hmph, you're getting more and more smug!"

"Madam Su, don't get angry," Bai Li Angju still smiled casually, "You and General Su are also a family, right? A family should be harmonious when they are together, especially in the current situation, everyone It's even more important to work together! What's the matter with the two of you who have been dead and inseparable like this?"
