Chapter 93 God Sparrow
When Su Qingyuan heard Lu Li's voice, she immediately showed joy on her face.

But in the next moment, she immediately bit her lips and suppressed her smile, and tried her best to widen her eyes.

The footsteps running towards Lu Li also stopped abruptly at the same moment.

Lu Li's outstretched arms froze in embarrassment, and then silently lowered them down.

Su Qingyuan let out a "hum" and turned her back.

Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then turned his attention to Xiao Lizi: "Are you from the Kingdom of Shenque?"

Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

Xiao Lizi knelt down slowly, hesitated for a long time before saying: "I have never heard the word 'Shenque Country' before, so I don't understand what the emperor means."

Lu Li looked at him coldly: "If you are from the Kingdom of God, I can spare you. Otherwise, just based on the few words you just said, it would not be an exaggeration to cut your body to pieces."

Xiao Lizi buried her head deeply, as if she was thinking.

In the end, he still insisted on his original confession: "The slave is not from the Kingdom of Shenque. The emperor wants to punish the crime, but the slave dare not plead."

"Since that's the case," Lu Li turned cold, "Little Lizi bewitched the Empress Dowager and violated a big taboo, so he can be immediately killed with a cane, there must be no mistake!"

Immediately outside the door, a deacon and eunuch took orders, came over and twisted Xiao Lizi's arm.

Lu Li looked at Su Qingyuan: "Isn't your mother going to intercede for him?"

Su Qingyuan turned around and let out a low sneer: "The emperor was joking. You are the lord of the world, you can kill whoever you want, where is it my turn to intercede?"

Lu Li frowned slightly, his face a bit ugly.

Su Qingyuan sneered and got up and walked over, wanting to go around him.

"A Yuan!" Lu Li stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist.

Su Qingyuan raised her head and looked at him coldly.

Lu Li sighed, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Lizi deserves to die for his crimes. He thinks he has done a great job in protecting the Empress Dowager, so he will be temporarily spared the death penalty. His tongue and wrists will be pulled out and he will be punished with hard labor in the court, as a punishment!"

"Slave, thank you Majesty Long En!" Xiao Lizi knelt down on the ground and said loudly.

Lu Li carefully observed Su Qingyuan's face, but found nothing.

Xiao Lizi was dragged down and didn't say another word.

Only Su Qingyuan noticed that when he looked back for the last time, he seemed apologetic and worried.

"Ayuan, where are you going?" Lu Li grabbed Su Qingyuan's wrist and dragged her back into his arms.

Su Qingyuan said coldly: "Since you call me 'mother queen', I should naturally go back to my own palace. I've been fooling around with you for no reason, am I guilty?"

"Is it too late for the empress to know about 'guilt'?" Lu Li raised his head and glanced at the messy bed, meaning something.

Su Qingyuan still looked at him coldly.

Lu Li frowned, "If you feel wrong about Xiao Lizi, I can forgive him."

Su Qingyuan sneered: "Why do you keep mentioning Xiao Lizi? Is it because you feel guilty and afraid that I will blame you, so you have to talk about him, trying to get away with it?"

"Strange, what's wrong with me?" Lu Li was puzzled.

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head sadly: "Yes...what are you guilty of? You are not wrong, I overstepped."

"A Yuan?" Lu Li suddenly panicked.

Su Qingyuan broke free from his hand, and said coldly: "I don't remember who Xiao Lizi is, but at least today, he is mine! No matter how heinous he is, I should order him to be executed! Beating a dog It depends on the master's reasoning, you don't understand, you are so anxious to punish him, you don't even want to ask me a question, just to slap me in the face, right? The emperor really bothered! If you think I have lost my duty , Overstepping the rules, just tell me clearly, why bother to make insinuations and give me such a prestige! Although I am a little confused now, I can still tell that my eyebrows are high and my eyes are low, don't think I am really stupid!"

"A Yuan, you are overthinking." Lu Li stepped back two steps to block the door, and sighed.

Su Qingyuan curled her lips, turned her face away and refused to respond to his gaze.

Lu Li walked over and hugged her shoulder: "A Yuan, I was a little impatient just now, but you and I have always been inseparable from each other, and the servants of Fanghua Palace and Yangju Palace have acquiesced that you and I are both them. Master—I didn't expect you to be angry with me for a slave."

"No distinction between each other? Is it really that good?" Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Of course." Lu Li nodded solemnly to show his sincerity.

Su Qingyuan raised the corners of her lips: "So, your imperial concubine is also my imperial concubine?"

"What does this have to do with the imperial concubine?" Lu Li frowned.

Su Qingyuan said in a strange way: "It doesn't matter, can't you mention it? You can kill my slaves casually, but I can't even mention a word about your concubine. Is this what you call 'no distinction between each other'?"

Lu Li looked down at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "I don't remember anything from the past, and my mind is not as clear as before. This jealousy hasn't diminished at all! I did find time to go to Yuxiu Palace, yes Who told you too much?"

Su Qingyuan raised her head and said: "Tan Yue said it. She really shouldn't talk about it to me, you should ask someone to beat her to death!"

Lu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he rubbed Su Qingyuan's hair and sighed, "The vinegar jar has been knocked over, how good this is!"

Su Qingyuan shook off his hand irritably, just angry.

Lu Li could only sigh: "Jingmin is a noble concubine, and she has something to do with Xiliang. She has an unusual status. She was frightened last night, so I can't just ignore her—I just went to take a look and then came back. Didn't even say a word to her, is this worthy of anger?"

Su Qingyuan flicked her sleeves, and said coldly: "It's not worth it, but I just want to be angry! I just want to overturn the vinegar vat, just want to make trouble for no reason, you hit me!"

Lu Li smiled: "Why did you hit you? You are willing to be jealous, I am too happy!"

Su Qingyuan turned her back angrily: "I was confused by you again - when you punished Xiao Li, I didn't have time to get angry! Even if I was jealous and angry because I made trouble for no reason, it was you who made trouble for no reason first!"

Lu Li rubbed his temples, with a helpless expression on his face: "Yuan, these are two different things! I punished Xiao Li not to hurt your face, but because he did something bad."

"What bad thing did he do?" Su Qingyuan was not convinced.

Lu Li said sternly, "Witchcraft and charm are absolutely not tolerated in the palace. He committed a big taboo, even if it's you and me, there's no reason to protect him."

Su Qingyuan stomped her feet and said angrily: "Why did I ever say that I want to protect him? He has committed a taboo, and you make it clear in person, will I not allow you to sentence him to death? You punished him in a hurry, but you were angry at the same time." What is the intention of testing my tone? Are you trying to say that I am Xiao Lizi's accomplice, and that I should be cut in half to show justice?"

"What should I do with you!" Lu Li heaved a long sigh.

Su Qingyuan became even more angry: "What else can I do? Cut off your tongue and wrists as punishment!"

Lu Li leaned over and carried her back to the bed, and sighed helplessly, "I won't give up if you don't force me to death! A Yuan, are you only allowed to be suspicious and jealous, and I am not allowed to be anxious? These days I don't even I can't even see the shadow, but he can stay by your side day and night. I am jealous of him and want to find fault with him, but I am worried that you will protect him-this little embarrassing thought, you have to Are you forcing me to say it myself?"

"What..." Su Qingyuan was stunned.

Lu Li turned his back awkwardly, not wanting Su Qingyuan to see his face.

Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing: "So, you are also jealous? And - are you eating jealousy from an eunuch?"

"..." Lu Li wanted to take back what he said just now.

Su Qingyuan patted the pillow and laughed loudly: "Lu Li, you even eat the eunuch's jealousy, do you want to eat the maid's jealousy next time? Just now Danyue said that she has been with me for eight years, maybe the person I like in my heart is she……"

"How dare you!" Lu Li's face darkened.

"Huh?" Su Qingyuan was stunned.

This person... he really doesn't mind, does he?

"A person who is an emperor has such a small mind?" She accidentally said what was in her heart.

Lu Li said with a dark face, "Even if I'm narrow-minded, you taught me that!"

Su Qingyuan shrugged her shoulders with an innocent face.

Lu Li bent down and lay down next to her: "We just met and had to quarrel again, why bother? Let's put our cares away and make up, how about it?"

Su Qingyuan hesitated and nodded.

Lu Li heaved a sigh of relief, and explained to her: "People from Xiliang may have already gone to Beijing. Now I don't know what their attitude towards Jing Min is, so I must face it. Besides, Jing Min is innocent and innocent. You are also very respectful, and I have no reason to ignore her."

Su Qingyuan gave a low "hmm".

Lu Li propped up half of his body and looked at her seriously: "Now, it's your turn to explain to me—witchcraft, charm, what's going on?"

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, lowered her head and said sullenly: "I don't remember that much, I just know that it was that woman who asked me to learn... The charm is taught by Xiao Lizi, I don't like it. The witchcraft is that woman Taught me by myself, I think...may be useful."

"She asked you to learn those two kinds of magic to control me?" Lu Li's face darkened.

Su Qingyuan was a little timid, but finally nodded.

Lu Li supported her shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need any 'charm' at all to deal with me!"

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, and blinked mischievously: "I know this, so I didn't study hard at all! Little Lizi forced me to learn those ghost things, so I beat him, scolded him, and stabbed him with a hairpin. He doesn't even dare to fart!"

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

He suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart, and continued to ask: "What about witchcraft?"

Su Qingyuan thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "That woman forced me to learn witchcraft at first, but then I wanted to learn it myself. The woman said that I am talented, and I thought—maybe one day I will surpass she."

Lu Li said seriously, "You don't need to overtake her! You have someone to protect you, and she——I will definitely get rid of her as soon as possible, so that there will be no future troubles!"

Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "I remember, there seems to be another very important reason why I want to learn those things... But then I got sick and forgot. Now my witchcraft It’s not even a beginner’s level, but it’s already useful, maybe there will be surprises after I finish my studies! Xiao Lizi said, I might be able to remember things from the past…”

Lu Li's face darkened: "Don't learn!"

"Why?!" Su Qingyuan yelled aggrievedly.

Lu Li twisted her wrist, and said anxiously, "Such mysterious and mysterious things, who knows if there will be any hidden disadvantages! That woman is our enemy, how can you be manipulated by her!"

Su Qingyuan was so anxious that she was about to cry: "But, I don't want to be a fool forever! I have almost forgotten all the previous things, and I often can't remember what happened recently... I always do wrong things, I must It's going to be a joke..."

Lu Li looked at her sadly and remained silent for a long time.

Su Qingyuan grabbed his arm and shook it, begging: "I know you are worried, but for me, there will be no worse result than now! You know, even if I become stupid and crazy, Losing my mind will definitely not hurt you—why are you preventing me from getting back to my full self?"

"Do you think...the current state is incomplete?" Lu Li asked hoarsely.

Su Qingyuan nodded heavily.

Lu Li thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "I will go to the Imperial Study Room tomorrow to find the book you want. Don't force it. Once you find something wrong, you must stop it immediately!"

Su Qingyuan raised three fingers to make an oath: "I will definitely not mess around!"

Lu Li grabbed her finger and sighed, "I can't beat you, I'm afraid I'll regret it later..."

Su Qingyuan chuckled: "Are you afraid that you will die in my hands in the future?"

Lu Li nodded solemnly.

On the contrary, Su Qingyuan was very surprised: "Are you really afraid of me? Are you so timid because you have done too many bad things?"

Lu Li tucked his quilt tightly, and said helplessly, "An unidentified woman from the Witch Clan, a descendant of the secret arts of the God Sparrow Kingdom - you have been trapped in the hands of these two people for so many days, and even your mind was ruined by them. I'm a little confused, how can I not worry?"

"Shenque Nation? What is that?" Su Qingyuan was at a loss.

Lu Li sighed: "Shenque used to be a vassal of Nanyue, but later rebelled against Beiyan, which caused a lot of trouble for Nanyue. At that time, Emperor Zhao was furious and sent troops to pacify Shenque..."

"That is to say, the ending of Shenque Country is the same as that of Wu Clan?" Su Qingyuan blurted out.

Lu Li thought for a long time, carefully considering the words: "There are very few classics that can be found today about the Wu Clan, and even the official historian's records are vague... But the inside story of the Shenque Kingdom is actually quite complicated. .”

Su Qingyuan rubbed her temples distressedly: "It's from the Wu clan and the sparrow, why is it so troublesome? I can't remember so many names..."

Lu Li took her hand away, rubbed her temples himself, and said with a smile, "Nanyue originally had nine vassal states, and Shenque used to be one of them. This time, seven of them came to Beijing to celebrate, and only Luotan, the most remote The country did not come. As for the Wu clan—it was a hermit clan in the mountains many years ago, and it is not considered part of the country."

Su Qingyuan felt drowsy after hearing it, and it took a long time before she gave a perfunctory "hmm".

Lu Li sighed: "It is said that the secret arts of the witch clan can control people's hearts and reach gods, so many years ago, the three major kingdoms were quite afraid of them. About 20 years ago, the witch clan who had been rumored to be miraculous suddenly disappeared for some reason. The people of the world were really happy about this for a while. Come to think of it, witchcraft and voodoo must not be tolerated, which is why I don't like you practicing witchcraft."

"I'm afraid it's not 'not allowed by the sky', but 'not allowed by people'?" Su Qingyuan yawned and said lazily.

Lu Li smiled and didn't refute her words, but he thought about it and said, "The secret arts of Shenque Nation are different from those of the witches, but even more mysterious than witches - some of them have been able to understand yin and yang since they were young. Ups and downs, predicting things first..."

"Isn't that just a trickster?" Su Qingyuan became interested.

Lu Li shook his head and said with a smile, "They have real skills. Nanyue has a tradition of respecting the national teachers for hundreds of years since the founding of the country. The national teachers are all from the Shenque country without exception, and they have taken a fancy to their divination skills."

"So, you don't kill Xiao Lizi, you want him to be a national teacher?" Su Qingyuan's eyes widened.

She found it very interesting to think that Xiao Lizi might transform from a little eunuch into a national teacher.

National teacher wow, it sounds so grand and amazing!When the word "National Teacher" is mentioned, everyone will think of an old man with a fluttering beard and a fairy air. If Xiao Lizi becomes a national teacher——

No matter what, his beard is destined not to grow back!

"What are you thinking?!" Lu Li tapped Su Qingyuan's forehead with his fingertips.

Su Qingyuan hurriedly lowered her eyelids, pretending to be serious.

Seeing this, Lu Li continued, "Except for a very small number of fortune-tellers, most of the people in Shenque Country are ordinary people—but there is a secret charm technique circulating among the nobles of Shenque, which is said to have been practiced for a long time. Those who are not only beautiful and youthful, but also have the ability to seduce the soul."

"Xiao Lizi knows how to charm, so you suspect that he is a nobleman from the Kingdom of God?" Su Qingyuan immediately grasped the key point.

Lu Li nodded seriously.

Su Qingyuan quietly waited for him to continue explaining.

Lu Li casually played with her hair, and mused, "The ancient books and records about the destruction of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom were also vague. I always suspected that there was something wrong with it, so I wanted to keep Xiao Lizi for further interrogation. This matter Don't worry, since he has no intention of doing this, I naturally don't intend to rush him."

Su Qingyuan rubbed against Lu Li's arms, and asked sullenly: "Is there really such a magical technique? If all the noble women in the Suzaku Kingdom are all beautiful, wouldn't it be possible for the Nanyue Emperor's harem to become a treasure house?" The world of the sparrow? You must be yearning for it, so you want to ask Xiao Li if there is any woman in the sparrow, right?"

Lu Li glared at him, and smiled helplessly: "You really can always find jealousy for yourself no matter when and where! Nanyue uses flattery as a heretical way, and since the early years of the Taizu, there have been strict orders to be strict about the marriage of the clan's children. The sparrow girl is a wife and concubine—you can rest assured now, right?"

"I don't believe you're not greedy!" Su Qingyuan wrinkled her nose and said in a muffled voice.

Lu Li was angry and funny, with a helpless expression on his face.

Seeing him deflated, Su Qingyuan was in a good mood.

At this time, a young eunuch whispered again outside the window: "Someone from Yuxiu Palace sent a message, saying that the imperial concubine's fever did not go down after taking the medicine, but instead she started talking nonsense and beating people indiscriminately. The attendants lost their minds, and the imperial physician did not dare to step forward, only saying that they were probably bewitched by evil spirits."

Su Qingyuan sat up with a "huh": "There is no evil in this palace!"

The little eunuch outside said in a low voice: "The people in Yuxiu Palace say that the palace is full of evil spirits and evil spirits are common. The only person in the world who can suppress evil spirits is probably only the emperor."

"After all, I still want to trick Lu Li into seeing her!" Su Qingyuan said angrily.

Lu Li followed her and sat up, hesitating to speak.

Su Qingyuan glanced at him: "I know you are worried! You just go there immediately, who is holding your thigh and won't let you go?"

Lu Li hugged her with a wry smile, "You go with me."

"I'm tired!" Su Qingyuan said in a muffled voice.

Lu Li straightened his face: "If you're tired, you can take a chariot, but if it's really not possible, I'll carry you there as well—you must go anyway, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be jealous again!"

Su Qingyuan thought for a while, then raised her head: "Alright, I'm going to see who that noble concubine is!"

So the two went out together, called two chariots, and they arrived at Yuxiu Palace one after the other.

When the young eunuchs of Yuxiu Palace saw Lu Li, they immediately greeted him happily.When they saw Su Qingyuan behind, everyone felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Li waited for Su Qingyuan to step up the steps, then turned around and entered the door with her.

From the corridor, I heard the screaming and cursing in the hall, the sound was shrill and frightening.

Lu Li frowned slightly, and said to Su Qingyuan in a low voice: "She seems to have gone crazy. Don't go in, be careful of danger."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, and walked quickly into the hall.

Su Qingyuan subconsciously followed two steps, and finally stopped at the door.

A woman with disheveled hair screamed wildly in the hall, grabbing Lu Li's arm and tearing it hard.

Su Qingyuan was anxious, but it was inconvenient to go in, so she ordered the little eunuchs to help.

She couldn't remember anything about Princess Jingmin.But the previous hostility melted into her bones, making it impossible for her to stay out of it.

A young maid from Yuxiu Palace came over and bowed respectfully: "The Empress Dowager is still ill, don't stand in the wind for a long time, please come and sit in the pavilion."

Su Qingyuan really felt that the wind gave her a headache, so she nodded.

The Nuan Pavilion of Yuxiu Palace is only separated from Princess Jingmin's bedroom by a wall, and Su Qingyuan is not worried that Lu Li will not find her.

After entering the warm pavilion, the whole body is really comfortable, and the scalp is not so tense.

The little maid from earlier held the tea, knelt down respectfully, and put her hands in front of Su Qingyuan: "The Queen Mother, please have some tea."

Su Qingyuan would not take refreshments given by outsiders easily.She picked it up and put it on the table.

Only then did she notice that besides the teacup, something else was stuffed into her hand.

It was a small piece of paper folded squarely.
