Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 71 Don't Be Jealous
Aunt Nian looked at her blankly, and brought the bowl over with both hands.

Lu Li's heart tightened suddenly, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it: "It's better not to drink, I need to drink medicine later..."

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Nian suddenly turned her hand over, and the bowl of soup was held in Lu Li's hand impartially, spilling all over his body.

I don't know how Aunt Nian did it. In such a cold day, the bowl of soup she brought over was still boiling hot.Lu Li was caught in the heat unexpectedly, and couldn't help but gasped.

Aunt Nian immediately rushed over with all her teeth and claws: "Why are you here? It's been so many years...why are you still refusing to let her go! Go to hell! You all deserve to die..."

Luoxia hastily pulled her back, and shouted for a few young maids to come in and help, which at least separated the two of them.

Lu Li was soaked in soup, his hands were hot red, and there were several bright red blood marks on his wrists.

Su Qingyuan watched coldly, without moving.

The little maids hurriedly dragged Aunt Nian out, and there were still indistinct shouts and curses coming from outside: "You wolf-hearted thing, a deranged villain... you will kill her sooner or later, Sooner or later, your family will have no sons or grandchildren..."

Lu Li wiped off the soup on his body, and looked a little embarrassed: "Aunt Nian is unconscious, don't think about her words."

Su Qingyuan said lightly: "I know. I also pretended to be crazy."

Lu Li frowned: "Aunt Nian is not pretending."

"You know again?" Su Qingyuan sneered at him sideways.

Lu Li didn't want to argue with her.

Su Qingyuan lay down again, and said casually: "If I were you, until I found out the identity of that crazy woman, I would never allow her to appear in front of me anyway."

Lu Li shook his head, disapproving.

Su Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, but said the last sentence: "Don't you think that she actually hates you very much?"

Lu Li sighed and stood up, "You should rest first, I'll come and see you at night."

Su Qingyuan didn't keep her.

Lu Li moved slowly, as if he was expecting something.But Su Qingyuan just watched him quietly.

As soon as Lu Li left, Danyue rushed in: "Why is his face so dark again? You are already like this, and he is still arguing with you?"

Su Qingyuan held Mrs. Tang on her waist to warm her, and said in a muffled voice, "There is no quarrel."

Dan Yue looked at her suspiciously.

Su Qingyuan lay quietly, and said after a long time: "Danyue, I don't know what to do now."

She didn't know it herself, and of course Danyue didn't know it even more.

The two of them thought about it for a long time, Danyue finally frowned and said: "What about your heart? Didn't you always say 'go and stay as you like, advance and retreat as you like'?"

Su Qingyuan stared at her blankly, and smiled wryly for a long time: "That was in the past... At that time, I had few things on my mind. Now even I don't know what is going on in my mind. Missing him... Of course I want to His, I dreamed that he would treat me the same as before; but he treats me well, but I don’t trust him anymore. Sometimes I get angry when I see him, and I feel even more unhappy after arguing and scolding... Even I know that my capriciousness is tiresome, so how can he not be tired of it?"

Danyue listened in a daze for a long time, then shook her head and smiled wryly: "Now you are really capricious."

Su Qingyuan gave her a white look: "Can't you say something nice to coax me?"

"No." Danyue said honestly.

Su Qingyuan had nothing to say for a moment.

After a while, Danyue stood up bored: "Since you started to think wildly, we haven't had a good life."

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a long time: "You mean, all the troubles are caused by my wild thinking?"

Danyue spread her hands: "I didn't say that."

I can't talk anymore.

At the critical moment, fortunately, Luoxia arrived in time and broke the awkward atmosphere in the hall: "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."

Su Qingyuan reached out to take it, leaned her neck and drank it without any hesitation.

When Luoxia saw her, she sighed a little: "It's always painful for people to drink medicine for a while, but it's better for you, it's more enjoyable than drinking!"

Su Qingyuan threw down the medicine bowl, and said calmly: "If I also complain like others, wouldn't I have to cry from morning to night this day?"

Luo Xia bit the corner of her lips, hesitated a bit before saying: "You can't be sick anymore. Imperial physician Yu said that if this continues, even if the child can be born, I'm afraid..."

Su Qingyuan's heart trembled violently.

Afraid of her thinking about it, Luoxia hurriedly comforted her: "Take care of it now, there's still time! Are you... still in pain?"

Su Qingyuan shook her head and said, "It's better."

Luoxia seemed to be relieved: "Physician Yu said, fortunately, I came back in time. If I don't feel cold at the moment, it shouldn't be a big deal—would you like to eat something and sleep first?"

Su Qingyuan smiled wryly: "I'm full after drinking the medicine, what else do I need to eat!"

After hearing this, Luoxia retreated with Danyue.

Under the corridor, I saw Shuxing coming in a hurry.

Luoxia greeted him politely: "Why are you back? Is Concubine Shu awake?"

Shu Xing shook his head and said, "Not yet. I heard that the empress was frightened, so I came back to have a look."

Luoxia smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, I've already fallen asleep. When the empress wakes up, we'll just greet you for you."

Shu Xing thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Then I'll have to work."

Danyue took the initiative to send Shuxing out, seeing her look a little lonely, she couldn't help feeling sad.

On the contrary, Shu Xing smiled and explained to her: "You don't have to feel sorry for me. Your Majesty sent me to take care of Concubine Shu because she trusted me. Now there are a few young maids in Yanxi Palace who are quite sensible. When they can take care of themselves, Madam You might call me back."

Danyue agreed, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

After crossing the threshold, Shu Xing turned around again, and said with a smile, "By the way, the empress does not sleep well at night and often kicks the quilt. You should be more careful when you go to bed at night, and don't let her freeze."

Danyue responded with tears in her eyes, and said after a long time: "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade the empress to call you back as soon as possible."

Shu Xing thanked with a smile, turned around and went down the steps, but did not return to Yanxi Palace, but turned to the north, not knowing where he was going.

In the back hall of the imperial study, Lu Li stood in front of a map with his hands behind his back, groaning silently.

Grand Sima Ning Yuan stood behind him, cupped his hands and said, "The first two batches of wintering food and grass needed for the northwest frontier defense have been delivered, and the third batch is already on the way. General Yue, who is guarding the northwest now, is brave and resourceful. There shouldn't be much change."

Lu Li turned around, tapped the table with his fingertips, and murmured, "General Yue, I've seen him a few times, he's really smart and capable. It's just..."

Ning Yuan knew what he meant, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although General Yue has experienced under Su Yi for two years, he has a straightforward personality and will not be with Su Yina and other cunning villains—not to mention that the Emperor is now He also accepted his niece as a concubine, and his interests are related, so he will not be used by Su Yi."

Lu Li sat down slowly, looked at the stacks of books on the desk, and said with a wry smile: "One Su Yi has turned the Ministry of War into a mess, so it's no wonder that the Minister of the Ministry of War has been pushed back and forth, and no one is willing to take it on for so long! "

Ning Yuan said sternly: "It is precisely because there are moths like Su Yi that we should do our best to eliminate the unhealthy trend! Lin and Su mentioned by Weichen just now have fallen for Su Yi, but more People are still waiting and watching, as long as the court's atmosphere is correct, it is not impossible for these people to serve faithfully!"

Lu Li nodded, and said angrily, "It's a pity that there are not many people available in the military department. Under the hundreds of years of the Su family's prestige, everyone has become soft-legged shrimp."

Ning Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and he suddenly smiled and said: "A few days ago, I had a chat with Duke Ding's son by chance. Unexpectedly, at his young age, he has extraordinary insight into how to use soldiers. What's more rare is that he is a young man with a sharp edge—— If the Ministry of War wants to make the turbulent clear, what it needs is such an aggressive young man! If the emperor has nowhere to arrange for that son, how about letting him come to the Ministry of War?"

After hearing what he said, Lu Li was stunned for a long time: "Cheng Yu is indeed a rare all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. It's just—forget it, if Duke Ding wants to settle accounts with me, I will say it was your idea!"

Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, his expression a little ugly: "Your Majesty, this..."

Lu Li's mood suddenly improved a lot.

For hundreds of years, the Cheng family has passed on poems and rites to the family, and has always looked down on those warriors who can only wield knives and sticks.Cheng Yu of this generation is very interested in martial arts. This incident in itself is enough to annoy Duke Ding. If Cheng Yu is assigned to the Ministry of War again...

Thinking of Ding Guogong's bearded and staring look, Lu Li felt a little relieved.

That pedantic old man Dingguo touched Lu Li's nipples several times, and Lu Li was already full of anger.It's always good to not move him for the time being, and let him sulk for a while.

So Lu Li happily accepted Ning Yuan's suggestion, and ordered someone to send an order to Cheng Yu, ordering him to go to the Ministry of War to work after kneeling in the ancestral hall at home.

After Ning Yuan retreated, Duan Ran came along the corner of the wall: "Hey, you finished cheating me, and started cheating Cheng Yaozhi again? I said, if you want to cheat people, you can't always cheat your brothers!"

Without even looking up, Lu Li opened a memorial and read it.

Duan Ran walked across to him and sat down cross-legged, and said with a smile: "You want to use Cheng Yaozhi to bring Duke Dingguo's mansion to the side of the Ministry of War. That old fox is jumping up and down again! Didn't his daughter-in-law die last year? Recently, he has gotten very close to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It is said that he seems to be getting married..."

"He can't think about it!" Lu Li finally raised his head.

Duan Ran still smiled meanly: "If you don't agree, what can you do? Even if you rush to marry that Miss Shangshu now, they can presume that you have a marriage contract long ago, and I will give you a face-to-face protest. Refusal to marry—no one dares to say 'no' unless you want to marry yourself!"

Lu Li frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly threw down the inkstone beside him: "Can you come up with some reliable ideas? I can't let the Su family take a fancy to someone, so I'll bring him into the palace... It's useless to cure the root cause!"

Duan Ran immediately continued: "If you want to get rid of the root cause, there is only one way - send someone to kill Su Qingjia, the Su family will never have a successor, and the old fox must be honest!"

Lu Li gave him an annoyed look: "Why don't you say it's best to kill the old fox once and for all?"

"Good idea!" Duan Ran clapped his hands and laughed.

"Okay, you go." Lu Li said coldly.

Duan Ran immediately withered.

If the old fox is so easy to kill, can it still be called an 'old fox'?

Duan Ran had no choice but to change the subject: "Do you really want to investigate the matter of Yingyue Lake?"

Lu Li stood up: "Of course we have to investigate! You don't have to worry too much, whether you find Duke Ding or Chongzheng envoy... this time, I will not tolerate it!"

"What if someone else is found?" Duan Ran asked.

Lu Li frowned: "Who?"

Duan Ran put his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "The more I think about this matter, the more I feel that something is wrong - if Xiao Yuan'er and I have been talking in the pavilion for so long, if the pavilion would have started to sink..."

"Say it again!" Lu Li's face darkened, and his fists were clenched.

Duan Ran shrank his neck, and changed his words spinelessly: "I mean, I have been standing in the pavilion with the empress dowager for a while, and there are so many eunuchs and maids present, if the pavilion shows signs of sinking, they will not Maybe I didn't notice it! I thought about it, it seems that only when that crazy woman hit my heel with a stone..."

"Are you trying to say that you made the pavilion sink?" Lu Li looked at him like a fool.

Duan Ran scratched his scalp, and said with a sneer: "Although saying this is a bit like putting gold on my face, but... At that time, I really felt that my feet were shaking."

Lu Li narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Duan Ran observed his expression, and said cautiously: "Your Auntie Nian has no grievances with me, she suddenly hit my foot with a stone, this incident itself is unreasonable! Later I found out that your little beauty was in the pavilion Something happened here, and when I wanted to rush back to save it, that crazy woman rushed over from behind and hugged my leg, obviously not wanting me to take care of it..."

Lu Li frowned, and asked, "According to you, Aunt Nian has ulterior motives? But if she had evil intentions, why did she jump down to save A Yuan in the end?"

Duan Ran was speechless, and sighed after a long time: "Physician Yu said that it was almost too late. Moreover, the consequences of cold air invading the body during pregnancy...she told you herself, right?"

With a gloomy expression, Lu Li shook his head slowly.

After a long time, he sighed again in a low voice: "But Aunt Nian has no reason to do this!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he himself suddenly felt a little lack of confidence.

His A Yuan had said that Aunt Nian repeatedly advised her to kill the child, and then cursed him face to face...

Perhaps, as A Yuan said, it is time for him to investigate the origin of Aunt Nian!

Nowadays, most of the servants in the palace treat Aunt Nian like a god, if she is arranged by someone with ulterior motives - the consequences will be disastrous!
After hesitating for a while, Lu Li gritted his teeth and said, "Since you suspect that the matter has something to do with Aunt Nian, you might as well check her out. She probably has a lot of contacts on a daily basis. You should pay attention to see if there are any contacts outside the palace. .”

"I don't know if there are any outside the palace, but I bumped into one inside the palace." Duan Ran said with a smile.

Lu Li looked up at him.

Duan Ran stroked his chin and smiled: "I just passed by Zhaoyang Palace and happened to see your Aunt Nian chatting enthusiastically with Miss Shuxing! Look at the intimacy, it doesn't look like you just met of!"

"Shu Xing?" Lu Li's expression turned ugly.

If it is Shu Xing, some doubts seem to have a clue!
Is it still the Su family?
Duan Ran jumped up from the chair, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I think it's time to check on your Concubine Shu who is still unconscious!"

Lu Li waved his hands in confusion.

Duan Ran opened the door and jumped out, then turned around suddenly, and asked with a smile: "If it is found out, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Lu Li ignored him, just sat down at the table again and rubbed the space between his brows.

When it was time to light the lamp, Su Qingyuan lifted the curtain and sat up: "What time is it?"

Shu Xing immediately came in and said with a smile: "It's time. Imperial physician Yu just came over and said that he wanted to ask for another pulse—Is the empress feeling better now?"

Su Qingyuan raised her head and looked at her: "Why are you here?"

Danyue came in and said with a smile: "She has come twice. The first time you just fell asleep, we said to greet her, she was worried, and came again by herself."

Su Qingyuan nodded, and said after a long time: "Please worry about it. Is Qingluan okay?"

Shu Xing pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "It's much better. The imperial doctor said that he can wake up in two days, but his body is seriously injured, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future."

Su Qingyuan lowered her head and sighed: "When she wakes up, she will hate me."

Shuxing didn't know the reason, Danyue sneered beside her and said, "If it wasn't for her own bad intentions, she wouldn't have suffered such a disaster, and she can only blame herself!"

Su Qingyuan looked at Shuxing: "Over there at the Palace of Yanxi Palace, is it okay for you to be away for so long?"

Shu Xing lowered his head, forced a smile and said, "Little girls are pretty diligent, not to mention... I'll go back right away. They won't be able to turn the world around for a while."

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Qingyuan said lightly.

Shu Xing forced a smile, and said after a long time: "Actually, I came here today, and there is one more thing... This year, the emperor ascended the Great Treasure for the first time, and Xiliang and Beiyan countries must send envoys to congratulate him. The last time the general was in the imperial mausoleum If you don't get any benefits, you will definitely not be willing to end up, your empress must be careful that he colludes with foreign thieves and creates another storm."

Danyue slowly lowered her face: "Your Majesty is taking care of herself now, why are you telling her these things?"

Shu Xing's face froze, and he said with a sneer, "I suddenly remembered it too, and I can't be relieved... There are still two months before the embassy mission arrives in Beijing, so it's not something to be in a hurry, as long as the empress is aware of it."

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, then said lightly: "I see, thanks to you remembering."

Shu Xing backed out after hearing the words.

When Danyue sent her out, Su Qingyuan asked Luoxia: "When Shuxing came, did you stay with me all the time?"

Luoxia hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, she will be with you all the time. We also remember that your Majesty did not allow Shu Xing to enter the inner hall before. Now she is considered a guest, so we have to give her some face."

Su Qingyuan smiled and said: "With you here, it is really thoughtful."

Luo Xiaxun thanked, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. When the mission comes to Beijing, they will stay in the post house. There will be special people from the Ministry of Rites to watch over them, and they won't be given a chance to collude with the courtiers."

Su Qingyuan smiled and said: "That's really nothing to worry about - the Ministry of Rites and father have been enemies for many years. If father wants to collude with envoys, I'm afraid He Shangshu will be the first to jump up!"

"That's exactly the reason." Luoxia pursed her lips and smiled.

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, and sighed: "The messy things happen one after another, it's really not easy to think about having a peaceful life for a few days!"

"Who is bothering you again?" Lu Li opened the cotton curtain and walked in.

Su Qingyuan leaned on the pillow and looked at him: "Why are you here again? Are you afraid that I will make you angry again?"

Lu Li sat down beside her bed, "I'm worried, so I'm going to visit you naturally—I heard that Shu Xing came to you?"

"What did you ask her for?" Su Qingyuan was a little surprised.

Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing. I thought you would be more defensive."

Su Qingyuan didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Li grabbed her hand and carefully observed her expression: "You feel better now?"

Su Qingyuan nodded and sighed: "You have a lot of things to do, so you don't have to run to me all the time... I have a sense of proportion."

"Where else can I run to besides you?" Lu Li asked back.

Su Qingyuan lowered her head and sighed silently.

Lu Li turned his head and told Luoxia, "Let the servants make dinner. I'm here to accompany Ah Yuan today."

Su Qingyuan stared at him with wide eyes.

Lu Li smiled and said, "I heard from the imperial physician that you still refuse to eat properly recently? Even if you want to be angry with me, you have to take care of your body to be able to make a fuss, don't you? Look at you now, the wind blows and you fall down. What are you using to torment me?"

"Who wants to 'torture' with you!" Su Qingyuan said sullenly.

Lu Li was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Oh—"

Su Qingyuan gave him a blank look, and quickly changed the subject: "I heard that the Xiliang and Beiyan missions are coming... Will there be any trouble?"

"Who told you this?" Lu Li frowned.

Su Qingyuan didn't answer, Lu Li hugged her and sighed, "You have a brain as big as a pea, you think about so many things all day long! When the embassy arrives, they will be received by the courtesy department. What are you worrying about!"

"Who do you think has a brain as big as a pea?!" Su Qingyuan was furious.

Lu Li laughed loudly, "Say whoever recognizes you!"

Su Qingyuan was so angry that she pinched his face with both hands and squeezed it down hard.

Lu Li didn't dodge, but laughed even harder: "Don't think I don't know what you're up to! Don't you just like Xiliang men with tall noses, deep eyes and sharp edges? It's a pity, when they come to Beijing, you will Your stomach is almost as big as a dustpan! Even if you dare to go out to meet people, who would give you a second look?"

"How dare you say that!" Su Qingyuan raised her fist angrily and greeted her.

While protecting her, Lu Li kept laughing: "By the way, I seem to have heard that the missions that are going to Beijing this year have brought a lot of beauties, so don't be jealous..."

"If you dare to attract me, I'll make a fuss in your court!" Su Qingyuan was so angry that she wanted to tear his mouth open.

"That's right, if you're still willing to be jealous, it will help!" Lu Li was very proud.

Su Qingyuan's smile froze, and then she gave him another look: "Smug beauty! Who will be jealous of you? I'm afraid that the beauties from Xiliang and Beiyan won't like you!"
