Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 89

Nursing Palace.

A few young eunuchs waited for a long time at the door holding towels and other things, but they didn't hear the voice from the hall for a long time.

Seeing that the time to go to court has passed, everyone inevitably gathered in a pile and started whispering.

Xiao Luzi walked around the door thousands of times, and finally he bravely opened the door and walked in.

In the tent, Lu Li fell asleep peacefully, motionless.

Xiao Luzi couldn't help thinking of the last time he fell asleep, and immediately panicked.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" He opened the curtain and shook Lu Li's arm vigorously.

Lu Li didn't wake up.

Xiaoluzi's face immediately turned pale.

Last time at least Su Qingyuan was in charge, but this time there is no one in the palace who can make up his mind.

Xiao Luzi walked around the bed for a while, then turned back boldly, pointed at Lu Li's Renzhong acupoint with his thumb, and pressed down hard.

"A Yuan—" Lu Li yelled, and woke up suddenly.

Xiaoluzi was overjoyed, and fell to his knees on the ground with a "dong", weeping uncontrollably.

"Yuan, don't go!" Lu Li jumped off the bed and rushed outside in a hurry.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, wake up, this is the Yangju Palace, your empress..."

Lu Li lowered his head and stared at him blankly for a long time.

Xiaoluzi was a little frightened——with this appearance, he might still be possessed by an evil spirit, right?
Lu Li leaned down, grabbed Xiao Luzi by the collar and grabbed him, "You woke me up just now?"

Xiaoluzi hurriedly said: "Yes. The time for going to court has passed..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Li kicked over, "Who made you troublesome!"

"Your Majesty, morning..." Xiao Luzi's back hit the screen heavily, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but he still wanted to finish his sentence.

Lu Li slumped down on the bed, and it took him a long time to say in a hoarse voice, "I'm exempt from court today."

"But Your Majesty..." Xiao Luzi wanted to say something else.

"There's no 'but'!" Lu Li casually threw out Yu Ruyi, who was resting on his pillow.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly reached out to catch it, but he didn't catch it, so frightened that he knelt down hastily.

Lu Li scolded angrily, "Get lost!"

Xiaoluzi finally retreated with a heavy heart.

Lu Li lay back on the bed again, looking at the moon-white and gold-sprinkled roof, his heart felt empty.

He closed his eyes and wanted to go back to that dream, but he didn't feel sleepy.

Lying on the bed tossing and turning, tossing and tossing for half an hour, he finally had to accept the reality - he woke up from the dream and couldn't go back.

Lu Li sat up tiredly, trying to recall every detail of his dream.

In the dream, she can be seen and touched, her body is hot, and her bite hurts...

So real, how could it be a dream?

But thinking about it carefully, those scenes are so absurd. If it is not a dream, how can it be explained?
What message did this too real dream convey to him?
In the dream, Lu Li's initial judgment was extremely terrifying: the room Su Qingyuan described didn't look like a place in the world, not to mention that there was her dead mother there...

But later, he tried his best to overthrow that judgment: maybe someone is playing tricks, maybe that "mother" is fake!

After all, A Yuan has been tortured to the point of insanity, it is obviously not difficult to deceive her!

The more Lu Li thought about it, the more reasonable his inference was.

As for why a living person appeared so realistically in the dream, Lu Li didn't want to think deeply.

Now that he has been forced to wake up from the dream, he can only try to convince himself that she is still alive.

Alive, but suffering unimaginable torture...

Thinking of what he saw and heard in the dream, Lu Li's heart tightened tightly, and the pain was unbearable.

Xiao Luzi came in through the crack of the door, and said cautiously: "Mr. Duan and Mr. Cheng are here."

Lu Li raised his head slowly, and sighed after a long time, "First help me change my clothes."

"Huh?" Xiaoluzi was a little dazed.

I haven't worn any clothes yet, what should I change?
Then he finally understood: Lu Li meant to change the pajamas he was wearing next to him.

While changing clothes, Xiao Luzi finally understood the reason why Lu Li mentioned this on purpose.

"Your Majesty, the ladies in the palace are waiting for you every day looking forward to the stars and the moon...Why do you have to wrong yourself to such an extent!"

Lu Li ignored him. After putting on a clean coat, he stood up and asked the little eunuch to help him dress and comb his hair.

Duan Ran broke into the door, and laughed out loud from outside the screen: "I heard that today is exempted from court? This is a new thing! Now you are preventing us from entering the door. Could it be that there is a beauty hidden in the palace?" The spring night is short Since the sun is high, the king will not go to court early, can't he?"

When he turned the screen, Lu Li raised his head and gave him a cold look.

Duan Ran clapped his hands and shouted: "Oh, you have such heavy dark circles, it looks like you haven't slept all night? Whose beauty is so capable, why don't you come out and let us have a look?"

"Xiao Luzi, catch this noisy crow, pluck its feathers and make soup." Lu Li said coldly.

Duan Ran shrank his neck and hid behind Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu politely saluted Lu Li, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the emperor feeling unwell?"

"I feel unwell." Lu Li leaned back in his chair and sighed sadly.

Duan Ran was grinning, and leaned over again: "I also heard that the concubine Liang was beaten yesterday? Let me tell you, you really don't know how to pity and cherish jade, right? Such a delicate beauty, why are you willing to do it?"

Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and followed suit: "Mr. Yue was very worried when he heard that Concubine Liang was punished. Since you want to win over the Yue family, why..."

"That lowly servant girl committed a big taboo, I have given Yue family face by saving her life." Lu Li's face was gloomy, and he obviously didn't want to talk about it.

After the little eunuchs retreated, Duan Ran immediately stuck to Lu Li's side: "What's the matter with you today? You didn't go to court in the morning, and even Xiao Yingzi refused to meet..."

"I saw A Yuan." Lu Li opened the window and looked down the corridor, sighing softly.

"She's back?" Cheng Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

Duan Ran's eyes widened, showing a terrified look: "She entrusted you with a dream? So she really has..."

Cheng Yu's face immediately turned pale.

With a gloomy face, Lu Li grabbed a teacup on the table and threw it at Duan Ran: "You don't need to talk if you don't know how to speak!"

Duan Ran quickly caught the teacup with a trick of "fishing for the moon in the sea", and put it back on the table with a smile: "It's not dead? It's better if it's not dead! Where is she at the moment? We are also worried about her After running around for so many days, we must let her see us, right?"

Lu Li shook his head bitterly: "I don't know where she is, I only know that she is suffering."

"Hey, don't you really just have a dream and then take it for real?" Duan Ran yelled exaggeratedly, with the words "You're a fool" clearly written on his face.

But Cheng Yu sighed: "Even if it's a dream, it's better to have seen it than to have never seen it - what are you going to do now?"

"Look for her." Lu Li said briefly.

Duan Ran patted his thigh and yelled: "Have you been looking for it all the time? We almost turned the capital over in the past few days! It's okay for Duan Cheng to be outside, I'm digging holes for you all day long, and I'm almost done It's a burrowing mouse!"

Lu Li said in a deep voice, "Keep digging. If you really can't find the hole, just dig anywhere—even if you want to blow up the Yangju Hall, I won't stop you."

"Yangju Hall? Why bomb Yangju Hall?" Duan Ran was a little puzzled.

Lu Li subconsciously looked down at his feet, and said after a long time, "I've always suspected...she's here."

"No way?" Duan Ran gasped.

Lu Li rubbed his brows hard, feeling very distressed.

In the past few days, he felt more and more clearly that Su Qingyuan was not far away from him.

He knew the idea was a little absurd, but... who could tell?

Duan Ran clapped his hands: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that! If the other party wants to torture you, it would be the most interesting to hide her very close to you! Think about it, you want to find her I can't wait to go to heaven and earth, I have searched for her for ten or twenty years, and one day I suddenly found her bones under the bed in your dormitory—that kind of regretful feeling of missing out, how exciting, how ecstasy!"

Lu Li looked complicated, and did not refute his words.

Cheng Yu was thoughtful: "This inference is not unreasonable, but in case there is a mistake..."

Lu Li gritted his teeth: "We must continue to strictly investigate inside the palace, but we must not relax outside the palace. In particular, we must pay attention to the new juggling venues that have appeared recently, and even the Qinlou Chu Pavilion..."

"Qin Lou Chu Pavilion?" Duan Ran's eyes lit up, "I should check that kind of place, I know it well! What's the use of letting Lao Cheng do it? He didn't even dare to lift his head when he saw those girls. , what can he find out?"

Lu Li rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Duan Ran slapped his hands again and shouted: "Why did you suddenly want to check the Qinlou Chu Pavilion? Could it be the Empress Dowager..."

"If you keep talking like this, believe it or not, I'll sell you to Pingkang Lane to be a servant!" Lu Li said angrily with a dark face.

Duan Ran shrank his neck, hid behind Cheng Yu, and laughed "hehe".

Lu Li walked out the door, summoned all the maids and eunuchs in the Yangju Palace, and ordered them to search all the rooms and courtyards carefully again, and promised that there would be no punishment for damaging things, and those who found secret rooms and secret passages would be directly promoted to rank, Reward the whole family.

Duan Ran hooked Cheng Yu's shoulders, and asked with some concern: "The court ladies and eunuchs will increase their ranks and reward the whole clan? Is Changli going crazy?"

"If it were me, I would go crazy too." Cheng Yu said flatly.

Duan Ran snorted disdainfully, but felt envious inexplicably.

Seeing that Lu Li was standing still in the corridor, Duan Ran approached him with a smile on his face, "You want me to find you a highly skilled magician who can enter the palace at noon tomorrow—but what exactly are you going to do? Shouldn't you?" Will you cast a spell on someone too?"

Lu Li stood there for a while, then ordered Xiao Luzi, "Ask someone to bring Xiao Zhongzi here."

***
After Su Qingyuan woke up, she sat blankly for a long time.

She only remembered fragments of what happened in the dream, but she firmly remembered the real sorrow and joy in her heart.

There was no Lu Li beside her pillow, Su Qingyuan felt a sense of loss in her heart.

She had only seen him once in a dream, but she had already depended on him that much.

It turned out that he was neither fierce nor bad, and he was not at all what the old woman said.

Although it's embarrassing for him to cry all the time,... the way he cries is actually quite likable.

Su Qingyuan rubbed her temples and sat up slowly.

Her body was as soft as spring water, and she couldn't exert any strength.

The mattress under him was damp, as if the flood in the dream had really happened.

Su Qingyuan was a little puzzled, and after thinking about it for a while, her cheeks slowly turned red.

She decided to take back her previous evaluation - that Lu Li is really not a good person!
Aunt Nian opened the door and came in, frowning: "It's almost time, can't you afford it? Do you want to eat today's meal?"

Su Qingyuan turned her head and looked at her probingly.

According to Lu Li, this old woman might not be her mother at all, but a big villain!

Aunt Nian met her gaze and felt a sense of weakness in her heart for no reason.

Fortunately, Su Qingyuan quickly lowered her head and looked at Xiao Lizi lying under the bed.

Aunt Nian also noticed Xiao Lizi's strange behavior, and walked over with her brows furrowed: "What did you do to him?"

Su Qingyuan blinked innocently: "He is useless, how can I blame me?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse than usual, and it was a bit strangely charming.

Aunt Nian looked up at her again, her face became much better: "It seems that you are still willing to practice hard. How is Xiao Lizi serving you at night?"

"Not good! He will only make me angry!" Su Qingyuan said sullenly.

Aunt Nian chuckled: "Since he's not good at serving, I'll ask someone to drag him out and kill him, how about it?"

Su Qingyuan immediately jumped up: "No! He is mine, and only I can bully him!"

Aunt Nian smiled meaningfully: "Why is he yours?"

Su Qingyuan frowned in distress, unable to answer.

Aunt Nian didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

She grabbed Xiao Lizi's shoulder and turned him over, patted him casually, and Xiao Lizi woke up.

Seeing Aunt Nian beside him, Xiao Lizi turned pale with shock: "I am guilty, I am guilty..."

Su Qingyuan giggled beside her: "Are you playing the beetle?"

Xiao Lizi raised his head in surprise: "Your Majesty..."

Aunt Nian said indifferently: "Yuan'er said that you served well, so I won't ask why you served on the ground. Go down and treat your injuries."

Xiao Lizi still looked at Su Qingyuan worriedly, turning a deaf ear to Aunt Nian's words.

Su Qingyuan picked up the hairpin again: "Why, do you want to do it again?"

Xiao Lizi saw her smiling and smiling, she didn't look like she was suffering, so she reluctantly retreated.

Aunt Nian went to the bed and sat down, grabbed Su Qingyuan's hand and held it firmly, and said with a smile: "If you can see it, I'm relieved. But you have to understand that Xiao Lizi is just a stepping stone for you , after your charms enter the room, you won't need him anymore, and you shouldn't take his life or death seriously. You have been tormenting Xiao Lizi for the past two days, let him rest tonight, and I will call someone else Come to accompany you to practice, you are not allowed to be willful."

"What are you practicing?" Su Qingyuan couldn't help but frown because she was confused.

Aunt Nian poked her forehead with her hand, and smiled meaningfully: "What did you and Xiao Lizi practice last night?"

Su Qingyuan thought about it for a while, and finally understood.

It turns out that Xiao Lizi's beating and scolding by her honestly is also a kind of practice?
If so, she wouldn't mind calling someone else!
After figuring this out, Su Qingyuan immediately smiled: "Then you have to change to a good one, and don't let him hit me!"

Aunt Nian was a little surprised, but more pleased: "It's all up to you. But, it's time for you to get up now. How much do you remember of the incantations and techniques you learned yesterday?"

Su Qingyuan found a piece of clothing to wear, and recited the formulas learned yesterday from beginning to end.

Aunt Nian was overjoyed, she hurriedly asked someone to bring breakfast, ate with Su Qingyuan, and hurried to teach her witchcraft.

Su Qingyuan's interest was even higher than yesterday, she was so tired that she was dizzy and refused to stop.

Aunt Nian was both surprised and delighted, and also a little surprised.

After thinking about it, she had no choice but to attribute the reasons for these changes to Xiao Lizi.

Presumably, it was the slave who gave her a taste of the sweetness of practicing "spells", so she was so obedient, right?
Aunt Nian suddenly didn't want to replace Xiao Lizi.

Su Qingyuan had no idea what Aunt Nian was thinking.What she thought in her heart was that only by obediently practicing spells, could she become stronger and stronger - if she defeated Aunt Nian, maybe she would be able to meet that strange Lu Li, right?

I don't know why, but she only saw him once in a dream, and she believed him wholeheartedly—she really wanted to see him again, and it was best not to be separated forever!

On this day, Aunt Nian taught with all her heart, Su Qingyuan studied diligently, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

In the evening, Su Qingyuan had basically mastered the essentials of the technique, what was lacking was repeated practice.

Aunt Nian saw with her own eyes that she used spells to make the little eunuchs who came to deliver meals around, she couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

While eating, a young eunuch suddenly rushed in in a panic: "The emperor has come over again suddenly! We have already reached the door, and we may not have time to go out..."

Aunt Nian froze for a moment, then suddenly slapped the table with a "bang": "Block the entrance to the dungeon, get out!"

"What are you withdrawing?" Su Qingyuan ate and drank vigorously, while finding time to raise her head from her rice bowl.

Aunt Nian grabbed her wrist: "This house is unbearable, let's move to another place!"

"I don't want it!" Su Qingyuan hugged her job bowl, refusing to let go.

Aunt Nian was furious, and slapped her hard on the forehead, making Su Qingyuan's eyes shine.

The little eunuch rushed forward and twisted Su Qingyuan's wrist, dragged her and rushed out.

Su Qingyuan was led out of the room, and finally knew that there was a tunnel like a tomb outside the room, which was eerie.

At this time, many young eunuchs in the tunnel hurriedly ran towards the same direction, but Su Qingyuan was dragged by three or four young eunuchs, and followed Aunt Nian to the opposite direction.

"Where are you taking me? I'm not full yet!" Su Qingyuan felt aggrieved.

Aunt Nian and the eunuchs all looked flustered, and no one paid any attention to her noise.

Seeing Aunt Nian's uneasy expression, Xiao Lizi quickly winked at Su Qingyuan and told her not to speak out.

But Su Qingyuan didn't want to be quiet.

She heard the little eunuch say "the emperor is here".

If she remembers correctly, Lu Li seems to be the emperor.So, could it be that Lu Li came looking for her?

If she made a noise, he might hear it!
Aunt Nian and the little eunuchs led Su Qingyuan into a secret room and closed the door.

Outside the secret room, a group of grey-faced little eunuchs rushed over from the direction of the dungeon, found a corner of the tunnel, and moved a stone next to it—the stone fell down, and the tunnel was blocked.

There are a few small eunuchs on both sides of the stone, and they work together in a tacit understanding to tidy up the connection between the stone and the tunnel, and there is almost no trace of new movement at all.

Keep a house in the dungeon.

Lu Li held onto the iron railing tightly and looked at the three little eunuchs kneeling at his feet: "Where is that temptress now? Where are the other two who are missing?"

The three young eunuchs were unwilling to speak, but one of them quietly turned his head and glanced at a certain position behind him.

Lu Li immediately pointed to that place: "Dig it out!"

The guard behind him suddenly agreed and rushed in.

Xiao Luzi helped Lu Li beside him, and he was very happy: "It must be there! The emperor is so wise, and the servants never thought that the temptress really has a ghost!"

Lu Li nervously watched the guards busy, his palms were covered with sweat.

He was just a little bit suspicious at first, but after interrogating Xiao Zhongzi, he suddenly thought of visiting Aunt Nian again, and by the way, put her in another place to be imprisoned.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Aunt Nian was not in the dungeon!
Now there is no doubt that the dungeon must be connected to the tunnel, and the "old woman" that A Yuan mentioned in her dream is most likely Aunt Nian!
The question that had been on his mind for days finally had an answer, but Lu Li felt a little apprehensive like nostalgia.

After seeing her, what should he say first?
Is what happened to her exactly the same as what he dreamed about?
In the dream, she had already forgotten what happened in the past, and she no longer knew him - could she recognize him when they met this time?
Was the dream last night his wishful thinking, or did she really have a dream?
"Found it!" The guard cheered, interrupting Lu Li's wild thoughts.

Lu Li immediately walked over quickly, and sure enough, he saw that a stone slab on the ground was loose.

There seemed to be a mechanism in that place, but now the mechanism has been destroyed.The guards worked together to move the stone slab, revealing a large hole that could allow two people to enter and exit at the same time.

"I found it! Your Majesty, I found it..." Xiao Luzi wept with joy.

Of course Lu Li was a thousand times more excited than Xiao Luzi.

He walked quickly to the entrance of the cave and was about to go down immediately.

Duan Ran quickly rushed in from the outside and held him back: "You can't go down!"

"A Yuan is inside, how can you tell me not to go down!" Lu Li was furious.

Duan Ran asked anxiously: "Have you ever heard of a word called 'dog jumps over the wall'?"

Lu Li's expression changed.

The dog jumps the wall in a hurry?
Silence?

The fish died and the net was broken?

Xiao Luzi turned pale with shock: "The entrance of the cave has been opened now, and the people inside must have known that we are coming—even if they don't go in now, it's probably too late!"
