Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 48 Lu Li, You Are Not Human!
Nursing Palace.

Lu Li was sitting in the hall, with several stacks of memorials piled up on the table in front of him, which made him frown.

Duan Ran squeezed in through the crack of the door, and laughed "hehe" twice: "I heard that you are looking for me?"

Lu Li closed the memorial and raised his head: "I haven't entered the palace for so many days, what did you find out?"

Duan Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone immediately became more relaxed: "I said, don't turn black and white, okay? Why am I refusing to enter the palace myself? It is clear that you took away my waist card, so I can't enter the palace That's right!"

"Answer my question!" Lu Li shot him a sideways glance.

Duan Ran gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "The good news from Lingnan has come back. As expected, the riots were quickly quelled. The problem is that there are two counties who are said to be uneducated and unrepentant. In the end, the people of the entire county Slaughtered by the Iron Armored Army——Although Lingnan is located in a remote place, there are countless rare treasures. This time, the old fox may have added a lot of good things to his pockets. Shall we try to blackmail him out?"

"You know, I'm not asking about Lingnan." Lu Li said coldly.

Duan Ran was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened: "Isn't it? I said Changli, you are the emperor now, you don't care about something as big as the Lingnan riots? The people of the two counties were killed by the old fox's men You are not angry when you are clean? You are not afraid that the old fox may use the gold and silver treasures he looted to recruit troops to overthrow your country? You let me stare at the old fox, but you don’t ask about Lingnan. Is it possible that you want to ask? What food did the old fox eat tonight, what wine did he drink, and which concubine's house did he sleep in?"

Lu Li gripped the paperweight on the desk tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't test my patience."

Duan Ran was bored and a little unwilling, so he showed a wicked smile and elongated his voice: "Oh——I see, you want to ask the old fox if it's the little daughter? I've already asked. : Qingluan, the fifth young lady of the Su family, is young, intelligent and quiet, well educated, and has no hidden diseases! When are you going to take her into the palace..."

Before he could finish speaking, a paper fan flew over his head.

Lu Li sullenly said, "If you don't want that head, I can take it off for you!"

Duan Ran shrank her neck and hung her head in silence.

Lu Li waited for a long time with a dark face but he didn't see him speak again, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You know what I'm asking is about A Yuan! Tell me exactly what's going on, if it's not true, I'll kill you !"

"A Yuan, A Yuan..." Duan Ran grinned.

Seeing Lu Li's expression out of the corner of his eyes, he quickly swallowed the witty words on his lips, and said seriously, "In the few months before entering the palace, the Queen Mother... Fourth Miss was not in the backyard of the General's Mansion."

Lu Li sat up straight.

Duan Ran noticed his reaction and blinked triumphantly: "You must not guess where she is - from the third day after receiving the imperial edict until the day before entering the palace, Miss Su Si , The empress who was about to enter the palace at that time was locked in the firewood room by her father! In order to prevent her from escaping, the old fox didn't even give her enough food, only half a bowl of porridge for each meal to satisfy her hunger..."

"What did you say?!" Lu Li suddenly stood up.

Duan Ran stopped talking, raised his head and looked at him: "Isn't it? At such a young age, you have already started to become deaf?"

Lu Li tightly clutched a paperweight, trying to calm himself down, but his hands were still trembling uncontrollably.

His chest suddenly felt a severe pain, looking at Duan Ran's smile felt particularly glaring.

deaf?

Not only is he deaf, but he is also afraid of being blind!
In fact, he should have thought of it earlier - in just a few months, that woman was already emaciated and tired, how could she still look like a pampered young lady?
He can see her changes, but he never thinks deeply about them.He was just blaming her, hating her, torturing her...

Lu Li closed his eyes for a long time, then sat back sadly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did her father lock her up, why was she afraid of her running away? Doesn't she... really want to enter the palace?"

Duan Ran spread his hands: "I don't know! If you were interested, wouldn't you ask her yourself?"

Lu Li was speechless.

Duan Ran rarely sees him like this, and feels that this is a good opportunity to sarcastically attack him.But for some reason, seeing Lu Li's expression at this time, he felt a little unbearable again.

After a long silence, Lu Li slowly raised his head: "Let's talk about something else."

Duan Ran grinned, and said with great interest: "Well, I have a lot of new and interesting things here! What do you want to hear? A new girl from Tianxiang Tower? A famous actress from the New Moon Troupe? Just bought by Da Sima's house dancer?"

"Forget it." Lu Li waved his hand without interest.

Seeing this, Duan Ran let out another meaningful smirk: "The few people I mentioned just now are all beauties with great beauty, and you are not interested in any of them? I said——do you have any? What special fetish?"

"Get lost!" Lu Li slapped the table angrily.

Duan Ran refused to leave.

He sat down on the spot, took out a small thing from his sleeve and played with it, enjoying himself.

Lu Li frowned and glanced at him, his gaze was immediately attracted by the thing in his hand.

After a little hesitation, he got up and walked over, snatching the thing over: "What is this?" Duan Ran spread his hands, "I don't know. I picked it up from the floor of a boudoir in the backyard of the Su family."

Lu Li subconsciously raised his hand to hold his chest, afraid that the throbbing heart would burst out of his throat.

In fact, he recognized that thing at a glance - it was a Concentric Fangsheng that was about to be completed.

He remembered that he had seen that woman the day before the first emperor's imperial decree was delivered to the general's mansion.

That day when he took her to go shopping in the market, he saw a peddler selling silk thread soliciting business, so he pretended to mention it unintentionally, saying that the thread on his jade pendant was old.

The silly woman happily bought a lot of silk thread and went home, saying that she wanted to make the most beautiful net for him.

She has never been good at these things.

Having known each other for several years, she only gave him an extremely rough purse, and she boasted that it was a masterpiece.

This concentric Fang Sheng is far from exquisite.The positions of many knots are uneven, which is obviously due to the uneven force during weaving; there are obvious sweat stains at the ends of the knots, and the silk thread is already very dirty. How many times have you repeated...

Lu Li stared at that gadget, his eyes sore.

One heart wins.

concentric.

He didn't dare to imagine what kind of mood she was working on this thing, and he couldn't imagine why this work, which had obviously been devoted to painstaking efforts, would be mercilessly thrown to the ground when it was about to be completed.

He was afraid, afraid that the answer would be something he couldn't bear.

It was getting late, and it was time to hold the lanterns.

Lu Li held the half-finished piece in his hand and raised his head.

Duan Ran was looking at him with a smile, as if gloating a little.

Lu Li was not in the mood to worry about these things.

He stood silently for a long time, then suddenly turned around and walked out the door.

Xiao Luzi hurried in, saw Lu Li, and quickly lowered his head, "Your Majesty, Miss Luoxia is here."

Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then returned to the hall, "Call her in."

Luoxia walked in.Duan Ran who was sitting on the ground immediately gave a big smile: "Hey, Sister Luoxia, long time no see!"

Luoxia rolled his eyes at him, then bowed to Lu Li and said, "Today, the Empress Dowager still didn't eat anything, she only drank half a bowl of porridge and a few light dishes for dinner—she lost her temper for a while when the meal was set out. , even Shuxing and Danyue were humiliated, saying that greasy things are not allowed to be placed in the future, and they don’t want to eat them. Earlier, they kicked out all the servants because of their temper, but in the end, it was the little prince who went in and coaxed them for a while. "

"The past few days...she has been refusing to eat properly?" Lu Li frowned.

Luoxia replied "Yes", and continued: "Concubine Cheng came here in the afternoon and stayed with the queen mother alone for a long time. The servants only heard the queen mother call Princess Cheng as 'Aunt Cheng', and said that there are bad people in the palace trying to harm her. I didn't hear the other words." Lu Li nodded sadly: "I understand."

Luoxia stood there and hesitated for a moment, then hesitated to speak.

"Say!" Lu Li ordered coldly.

Luoxia hesitated for a long time, and added cautiously: "When the dinner was set, the Empress Dowager patted her chest a few times, her face seemed to be in pain—it was the same at noon yesterday."

Lu Li's face changed slightly: "Didn't you ask her?"

Luoxia showed embarrassment: "I asked. But the Queen Mother said it's okay, and she got angry if she asked too much, saying that we cursed her to be sick. Shu Xing Danyue and the two were very wary of us, and they usually didn't let us get close when they were up and down, so I haven't noticed anything unusual for the time being."

Lu Li clenched his fist and patted the center of his brow, sighed, "Be more careful in the future, especially before meals and when you get up early... usually follow her more and don't contradict her."

Luoxia agreed and withdrew.

Duan Ran jumped in front of Lu Li in a "babble" and said, "Annoyed, afraid of being oily, moody? It doesn't sound good——Chang Li, your arrow skills are quite accurate!"

"Get lost!" Lu Li irritatedly punched that guy in the chest.

Duan Ran grinned in pain, and then leaned over without fear of death: "This is a happy event! Why did you beat me up? I didn't do it..."

"Don't talk nonsense about the disappearance!" Lu Li's face was very ugly.

Duan Ran sat cross-legged on the table, and said with a smile: "There are no shadows, can you call an imperial doctor to have a look? Although old man Yuan is dead, there are still many good doctors in the imperial hospital. Who can I send?"

Lu Li kept his face sullen and didn't answer his words.

Duan Ran was stunned suddenly: "By the way, old man Yuan died so suddenly. Could it be that he was silenced because he discovered something extraordinary? Did you do it?"

Lu Li remained silent.

Duan Ran knew that this was probably a tacit consent, so he couldn't help being speechless: "So, nine out of ten are true? Amazing, amazing! Lu Li, you are so talented!"

Lu Li closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then asked in a deep voice, "I remember, you seem to have studied medicine for a few days? Come with me to Fanghua Palace!"

"Now...now? It's not appropriate at night, right?" Duan Ran showed a frightened look, but a cunning flashed in his eyes.

The main hall of Fanghua Palace is brightly lit.

Lu Li was about to step into the door when he suddenly heard a loud "crash -" sound from inside, and something fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of loud crying, including adults and children.

Lu Li pushed open the door and walked in quickly: "What's going on?"

The hall was in a mess, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones scattered all over the floor.Lu Junnuo knelt on the ground and cried, Su Qingyuan sat on a chair and cried, Danyue Shuxing and several young ladies were in a mess, not knowing which one to coax first.

Seeing Lu Li coming in, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Su Qingyuan burst into laughter immediately, jumped up and bumped into Lu Li's arms, "You are finally willing to come with me! I was thinking about you, and you also miss me, right?"

Lu Li embarrassedly pushed her away, but Su Qingyuan hugged her even tighter: "I know you miss me, don't be shy..."

"Don't make trouble. Duan Ran is here." Lu Li held her hands tightly, fearing that she would do something even more terrifying.

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look behind Lu Li.

Duan Ran gritted her teeth and smiled at her: "My minister Duan Ran, see the Empress Dowager!"

Su Qingyuan immediately suppressed her smile, and pouted her mouth: "What are you doing here? I don't like you anymore!"

"This... Empress Dowager, when did you ever like me?" Duan Ran wiped away the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and asked bravely.

Su Qingyuan said angrily: "You still hit me last time! It made me hit the screen and my head hurt! I knew you were not a good person, believe it or not, I will destroy your nine clans!"

Duan Ran shrank her neck exaggeratedly, expressing that she couldn't be offended.

Su Qingyuan broke free from Lu Li's hand, jumped in front of Duan Ran and hugged him tightly: "I said I would destroy your nine clans, why didn't you beg for mercy? I'm angry, and you don't know how to coax me! How can you play with flowers even if you don’t know how to coax girls?”

Duan Ran looked at Lu Li begging for help, and spread his hands to prove his innocence.

Lu Li walked over with a sullen face, and grabbed Su Qingyuan's wrist: "Let him go."

Su Qingyuan shook her hand violently, trying to break free from his restraint: "I don't! You don't accompany me yourself, and you don't allow others to accompany me? Why are you so bad!"

Duan Ran felt that his situation was a little dangerous.

With Wen Xiang nephrite in his arms, the roots of his ears turned red uncontrollably.

If this situation continues, I'm afraid something bad will happen!

"Your Majesty, you have to save me!" Young Master Duan wailed at the top of his voice.

Lu Li's face had already turned dark.

But Su Qingyuan was very stubborn at the moment, and couldn't listen to anything.

In desperation, Lu Li had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Let him go, I'll accompany you."

"Really?" Su Qingyuan immediately flew back into his arms, the speed was staggering.

Duan Ran patted the messed up clothes, feeling a little disappointed.

Lu Li bravely carried Su Qingyuan back to the soft couch and put him down, but the latter stubbornly hugged his waist, refusing to sit properly no matter what.

In desperation, Lu Li had no choice but to ignore this awkward posture, raised his head and asked Shu Xing, "What happened just now? Why is Jun'er kneeling?"

Before Shu Xing could speak, Su Qingyuan flattened her mouth again, and burst into tears: "I don't like Jun'er anymore, you should drive him away!"

"Jun'er will be good, the queen mother shouldn't chase Jun'er away—" Lu Junnuo opened his mouth wide and began to cry.

Lu Li listened to Lu Junnuo's deafening wail, and then looked at Su Qingyuan who was hiccupping in her arms, feeling dizzy for a while: "What's going on!"

Su Qingyuan pulled his sleeves to wipe away her tears, beat his thigh angrily, and choked up with sobs: "Jun'er is so stupid! He can't even play charades! I let him go all night He couldn't even guess a single word! Thinking back then, my eldest sister was a famous talented woman in the capital, how could she give birth to such a stupid son? Shame on me! If I raise him up, others will think he is mine Son, how shameful I am! I don't want him anymore! You can give him to that annoying Concubine Shen to be your son!"

Duan Ran couldn't hold it back, and laughed out loud while covering his stomach.

Su Qingyuan raised her head and gave him a vicious gouging look.

Lu Junnuo knelt and crawled to Su Qingyuan's feet, pulled her clothes and cried loudly: "Jun'er will learn, the queen mother can't do without Jun'er, Jun'er only has the mother queen..."

"Go away! I don't want you anymore! Idiot!" Su Qingyuan snatched back the corner of her clothes and shouted angrily.

Lu Li finally understood.

"Since Jun'er doesn't know how to guess charades, you can just ask him to play with other things, why be angry?" He tried to persuade.

Su Qingyuan's anger still persisted: "I don't want it! He's so stupid, he can't learn other games too! Yesterday Zhu Mama taught him to check grid, and he didn't understand it after a whole day of learning!"

Her attitude seemed very firm, Danyue Shuxing and others persuaded her for a long time, but she still refused to let go.

Realizing that he was in a dire situation, Lu Junnuo cried even harder.

Lu Li was so dizzy from the noise that he was at a loss for what to do.

It was still Duan Ran who persuaded him: "Since the matter is caused by guessing crossword puzzles, let the young prince be fined to read a few more words! Empress Dowager, the prince is still young, so you can give him a few months to let him read more words." A few words, how about playing with you again later?"

Su Qingyuan frowned: "He can't read? So stupid?"

Duan Ran wiped his sweat and said: "It's not stupid, the little prince is only five years old, and he hasn't been enlightened yet!"

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, then angrily punched Lu Li's leg: "But I heard from my father that the eldest sister could already recite more than 100 poems when she was five years old! It can be seen that this kid is still stupid! He Most likely it wasn't eldest sister's own, I don't want him anymore!"

Duan Ran spread his hands and showed Lu Li a helpless expression.

Lu Li sighed: "Jun'er is still young, you are too harsh on him! How about it, tomorrow I will ask someone to pick a well-educated person from the court to teach Jun'er how to read and write, you leave him for now, but it is good?"

Su Qingyuan blinked her eyes: "A learned man?"

Lu Li nodded seriously.

Su Qingyuan immediately jumped up, shaking her head as if she was insane: "No, no, that's absolutely not possible! The beards of the educated men in your court are so long... Jun'er learned from them, wouldn't he also become a grown man?" An old man with a beard?"

Seeing her attitude as if facing a formidable enemy, Lu Li was a little bit dumbfounded.

Duan Ran laughed beside him and said: "Let me just say, the Empress Dowager definitely doesn't like the old man! Cheng Shizi of Dingguo Duke's Mansion is a young talent, famous in the capital, how about asking him to teach the little prince?"

Lu Li's face darkened, and he tightened his grip on Su Qingyuan's wrist: "So this is your purpose?"

Su Qingyuan was in pain, and burst into tears with a "wow--".

Danyue stomped her feet angrily at the side: "Is the emperor being too unreasonable? Mr. Cheng's name was mentioned by Mr. Duan, why are you angry with my lady?"

Lu Li loosened his wrist slowly, and gave Duan Ran a gouged look.

Duan Ran spread his hands, expressing his innocence.

Lu Li gritted his teeth and said, "Don't bother Cheng Shizi, I think you are very good. From tomorrow onwards, you will give lectures in the two rooms on the west side of the imperial study, and teach Jun'er how to read!"

"Me? Don't want it..." Duan Ran immediately lost his face.

Shu Xing frowned, and said hesitantly, "Master Duan is not a student of a scholar's family, is he?"

Lu Li looked down at Su Qingyuan, and said coldly, "Although Duan Ran doesn't have much ink in his stomach, he can still teach a five-year-old to read. Why, the queen mother is not satisfied?"

Su Qingyuan stopped crying at some point, and quietly put her fingers into Lu Li's clothes, and wrote his name stroke by stroke on his waist.

Lu Li suddenly tensed up.

Su Qingyuan giggled.

"What is this?" Lu Li grabbed her hand and asked hoarsely.

Su Qingyuan rubbed against his chest, and said with a low laugh, "Why don't you understand my heart? That little guy is too much of a hindrance in front of me. If I don't send him away, how can I spend time with you?" Huh? Lu Li, I really, really miss you, do you know that?"

"You mean what you said?" Lu Li asked nervously, staring into her eyes.

Su Qingyuan grabbed his hand and put it on her chest, looking at him with blurred eyes: "Touch and see, am I sincere?"

"Don't make trouble, there are outsiders here!" Lu Li withdrew his hand in some embarrassment.

Su Qingyuan curled her lips and said: "Then drive them away! Tonight, no matter what, I won't let you go. Even if you die, you must die—in my bed!"

Lu Li subconsciously hugged her tightly.

Su Qingyuan showed a successful smile, and opened her mouth to hold the jade buckle on his belt.

Lu Li tightened his body, and after holding it for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "A Yuan, you are sick, you need to go to bed earlier, do you understand?"

"Okay, you accompany me!" Su Qingyuan raised her head and hung herself around his neck.

Lu Li carried her to the back of the screen, lifted the gauze curtain and let her in.

Duan Ran was stunned for a while, then suddenly squatted down, picked up Lu Junnuo and ran outside.

"Come back to me!" Lu Li roared in a deep voice.

Duan Ran stopped in his tracks, his face a little embarrassed: "This... this kind of thing, it's not suitable to watch from the sidelines, right? Besides, there are children..."

"I told you to come back!" Lu Li had run out of patience.

Duan Ran had no choice but to hand over Lu Junnuo to Shu Xing to take him out, and slowly walked into the inner hall.

Su Qingyuan was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and Lu Li was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hand.

Duan Ran sighed, walked in with light steps, and put his fingers on Su Qingyuan's wrist.

"What are you doing!" Su Qingyuan immediately bounced off the bed and let out a scream.

She tried to retract her wrist, but Lu Li was already on guard and gripped her hand tightly.

Su Qingyuan's complexion changed drastically, and she cried and struggled recklessly.

"Don't move, Duan Ran won't hurt you!" Lu Li tried to reassure her.

Su Qingyuan slammed her head into his chest, crying loudly, "You tricked me into sleeping, but you told others to bully me! Lu Li, you're not human!"

Duan Ran withdrew his hand, with a terrified expression on his face: "I said, the emperor, can you make her keep her voice down? Listen to what she is shouting? This little minister wants more!"

"Follow your business, stop talking nonsense!" Lu Li angrily reprimanded with a dark face.

"Oh." Duan Ran confessed.

Su Qingyuan finally withdrew her hand, and lay on the pillow crying out of breath.

Lu Li looked at Duan Ran: "How is it?"

Su Qingyuan sat up suddenly, grabbed Lu Li's wrist and bit down hard.

Lu Li gritted his teeth and endured, without moving.

Duan Ran let out a long sigh and nodded.

Lu Li subconsciously pressed his chest, and the circles of his eyes instantly turned red.

After a long time, Su Qingyuan raised her head and stared at Duan Ran coldly: "You guys, are you trying to kill me?"

Lu Li trembled slightly, lowered his head, "A Yuan, no one is going to harm you."

"It's clear that you are trying to kill me! You secretly winked, I saw it!" Su Qingyuan cried loudly.

Lu Li waved to Duan Ran, then silently turned around and hugged Su Qingyuan.

Duan Ran hesitated to speak, and finally retreated silently.

Su Qingyuan grabbed Lu Li fiercely and cried hoarsely: "Why did you lie to me! Why did you bully me! I like you so much, but you only hurt me——what do you want to do? You have found a new one. Is the crime so that I can die? If you want to kill me, I have seen all kinds of poisonous wine and white silk, and there is no need to use those insidious tricks!"

"A Yuan, I won't harm you. Duan Ran is here to treat you, don't be afraid..." Lu Li comforted in a hoarse voice.

Su Qingyuan was obviously terrified and trembled from crying.

Lu Li knew that she shouldn't be made to cry, but his heart was in a mess, he could only say "I won't hurt you" over and over again, and couldn't think of anything else to comfort her.

Su Qingyuan bit his collar and cried for a long time, then suddenly pushed him away forcefully, lay down beside the bed and spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water.

"A Yuan..." Lu Li supported her, at a loss.

Su Qingyuan shook off his hand suddenly: "Get out! I don't want to see you anymore! You don't have to come again!"

Lu Li tried to comfort her, but he could only make her cry even harder.

In the end, Su Qingyuan was crying so hard that she couldn't even breathe, her face turned blue from holding back.

Lu Li was at a loss, so he could only choose to leave, and replaced Shu Xing and Dan Yue to persuade her.

This trick really worked, Su Qingyuan became a little quieter.

Lu Li stood on the porch, his heart throbbing with pain.

In the hall, Su Qingyuan's complaints came intermittently.

She was suing the two girls, saying that Lu Li bullied her, tricked her into sleeping well, but let Duan Ran pinch her wrist.

She suspected that he was going to kill her.

The two little girls persuaded each other with each other, and after half an hour, the crying inside gradually stopped.

Lu Li grabbed the railing of the porch, and his knuckles ached.

The more ignorant she was, the more uncomfortable he felt.

That woman was a little dazed at first, but she almost became an innocent child after being ill this time.There are some things she probably doesn't understand, right?

He had caused her so much pain, and there might be more distress and trouble to come.

But she doesn't know anything.

She was just angry at his "deception" and Duan Ran's "abruptness".Maybe tomorrow, she will be able to forget about the troubles at this moment, and she will rush over to pester him with a smile on her face.

But would he still dare to face her?

In a few months, even bigger troubles will come to her. How will he clean up the situation then?
It was already dark, and Lu Li was still standing on the porch.The unfinished Concentric Fang Sheng in his arms seemed to be on fire, making his chest ache.

Shu Xing Danyue and the others came out of the hall and saw Lu Li standing at the door, they were at a loss for a moment.

Lu Li asked hoarsely, "Are you asleep?"

Danyue hummed, and turned her head away.

Shu Xing sighed: "Just fell asleep. The Empress Dowager has been sleeping lightly lately, if she is woken up, she will definitely make a big fuss - servants and servants, please send the Emperor out."

"No, you just need to guard her." Lu Li sadly turned around and walked down the steps.

He didn't bring anyone with him when he came out today, Duan Ran had already left the palace, and he didn't even leave a lantern for him.

Lu Li had no choice but to walk out alone in the dark, and it was a little difficult to walk.

At this time, there was a little light in front of him slowly moving towards this side.

Lu Xin was distracted, and he didn't realize that he should hide until the light was close at hand.

The person carrying the lamp was Shen Suxin, the concubine who just moved here today.

Lu Li collected himself, and calmly stood still, "Mother Concubine Shen."

Shen Suxin showed a surprised look: "Your Majesty? Why are you here at this hour?"

"Didn't the mother concubine also rest?" Lu Li asked in a deep voice.

Shen Suxin narrowed her eyes and smiled meaningfully: "I heard crying from the other side of the main hall, so I came out to have a look—is it because the Empress Dowager is in poor health?"

Lu Li said indifferently: "It's just a small matter. The empress mother has already rested, so please come back too."

Shen Suxin answered "Yes" with a smile, and stepped sideways to the side of the road.

Lu Li was about to walk over, but Shen Suxin suddenly stopped him: "The night is dark, and the emperor appeared alone in the Fanghua Palace. It seems inappropriate, right? Although the empress dowager is a aunt, she is still young after all. Are you not afraid of what people say?"

Lu Li turned around and sneered, "Thank you for reminding me, Concubine Mu. Concubine Mu herself is only [-] years old, so she should also be cautious in her words and deeds."

Shen Suxin raised her head with a smile: "It's different. I'm just a concubine, whether I go or stay, I won't be noticed by many people; unlike the Queen Mother, who is the mother of the world, there are countless pairs of eyes in every move. Stare."

"Having said that, after all, the palace rules are strict, and it is better for the mother and concubine to be more cautious." Lu Li was irritated in his heart, and his tone was inevitably a little impatient.

Shen Suxin's smiling face froze slightly, and then returned to normal: "I heard that the Taizu of this dynasty married a princess of Shanrong, and now the royal blood is passed down from that princess, I don't know if it is true? When I have nothing to do, I read the idle books and learned that the Shanrong people have a strange custom, I wonder if the emperor has heard of it?"

Lu Li frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Princess Shanrong has married into Nanyue, so she has to follow the customs of South Vietnam, not to mention that hundreds of years have passed, so I'm not interested in knowing about Shanrong's customs."

After finishing speaking, he turned around coldly and walked away.

But there was a chuckle from behind: "If you're really not interested, how could you..."
