Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 502 Forbearance with a knife on his forehead!

Tu Su Qingli sat limply on the ground, watching the back of Baili Junyi leaving, his heart kept sinking, he walked crisply and without any regrets.

Shen Ninghua stood up slowly, flicked her sleeves and walked out, Hong Ling at the side stepped forward to support her.

Tu Su Qingli raised his head abruptly, looked at Shen Ninghua's cold expression, and without knowing where the courage came from, he opened his mouth and said, "Ma'am, are you willing to watch that Bu Linglong ride on your head?"

Shen Ninghua's footsteps stopped: "I am the queen, no matter how much favor that Bu Linglong has, she can't compete with me, why should I care?"

"That's not necessarily the case. The emperor cares about her so much now. One day, you can make her a noble concubine, an imperial concubine, and the child she gives birth to be a prince. Can you still win?"

The corners of Shen Ninghua's lips curled up: "How do you know that Li Linglong, Chen Linglong and the like will not replace her? As long as I am a queen, my child will be the legitimate son, and the rest is not important."

"Your Majesty, perhaps, you are right, but are you willing now? The emperor was so loving to you before, but now he is as cold as ice, and puts all his attention on another woman. Don't you hold grudges?"

Shen Ninghua frowned, and couldn't help but stop and stand where she was.

Tu Su Qingli's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, the Minnv knows that people have little fate, so they dare not fight for anything with the Empress. As long as you are willing to help and let the Minnv enter the harem, the Minnv is willing to lead the way for you and help you do your best!" Suppress all enemies."

Shen Ninghua laughed in a low voice: "Take the lead? You should keep your position first... You can't protect yourself, I don't need such a fragile pawn..." After finishing speaking, she walked out with Hong Ling.

Tu Su Qingli got up slowly from the ground, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: "I won't give up so easily."

When Wei Shi received the news from the palace, his hands trembled and he almost lost his grip: "Qing Li was grounded because he poisoned Princess Linglong with poisonous ginseng?"

Tu Su Qingyun frowned: "Linglong was tricked by others."

"Master, what should we do now?"

"Stay still, tomorrow the old man will let people find out what the emperor has said."

Webster nodded: "Okay, that's all I can do." She responded, but felt a little uneasy in her heart. Qing Li was brought up by her own hands. Although she taught her a lot, she had never received anything since she was a child. Frustration, this time, I'm afraid it won't be so pleasant.

Luxiu gently put the porridge brought aside, and said softly: "Miss, you can drink some porridge, you can't do without food."

Tu Su Qingli sat in a daze, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Lvxiu, tell me, will my mother give up on me..."

"Miss, why did you say that? You are the first daughter of the Tusu family, and the other ladies are all concubines. How can you compare with you?"

"Concubine? Concubine? Is it that important? As long as it can help the family, father and mother won't mind." Thinking of what Webster had said before, Tu Su Qingli felt chills in his heart.

Luxiu didn't know how to answer, so she could only stand aside silently.

Tu Su Qingli laughed suddenly: "Bring me the porridge, I'll drink it!" Now, if I don't take care of myself, who else can take care of her?Even if the father and mother have other plans, they have not had time to implement them. She wants to fight, to survive in this harem, and to win the favor of the emperor!

Next door, after Bu Linglong woke up, she felt that her body was unusually heavy, and she couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong with me?"

"Report to the princess, you are poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

"Yeah, no one thought that Tu Su Qingli next door would be so vicious, and he hid poison in the tonic he gave you. Fortunately, the emperor did not favor her, and has already grounded her. You should take care of yourself and take good care of your body. "

Bu Linglong wanted to say something, but her eyelids felt heavy, and she fell asleep again after a while.The maid who was guarding at the side called her twice, and after confirming that she was really asleep, she walked out of the palace gate and nodded to an inconspicuous servant, who immediately walked out.

In Kunyu Palace, just as Shen Ninghua sent the two children away, Baili Junyi strode in: "Ninghua?"

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, seeing his relaxed expression, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Things are going well?"

"Well, it went well. Early this morning, many officials collectively wrote a letter asking me to accept money from the Tusu family and then publicly provide disaster relief. Unfortunately, before they succeeded, Prince Yi asked to enter the palace and sued the Tusu family for murdering people. Now , the two of them pinched."

"This will save us a lot of energy."

While the two were talking, Hong Ling quickly walked in with the envelope: "This servant has seen the emperor and the empress."

"What's wrong?" Seeing her haste, Shen Ninghua asked.

"Reporting to my lord, just now the Huajun Medicine Store in Huicheng, Hecheng and other six places sent a report, saying that someone is secretly provoking trouble."

Shen Ninghua frowned: "Choose something?"

"Yes, these places are located in the north, and they were most severely affected by the snow disaster. Originally, the people in these places have been resettled properly, but the conditions are not good enough. Now, some people are spreading rumors secretly, saying that the empress, you have stuck the emperor. In the harem, the emperor is not allowed to accept concubines, so that even the Tusu family can’t donate any money, and many people say... that you are... a demon queen who will bring disaster to the country!"

Baili Junyi's eyes froze, and a burst of frost drifted across: "The demon queen who has harmed the country? This Tusu family really dares to do anything!"

Shen Ninghua looked indifferent: "It's not a day or two that my reputation has been going up and down, but it's just that it's not my turn to be controlled by a family!"

Baili Junyi held Shen Ninghua's hand, and said in a slightly apologetic tone, "Ninghua, I've made you tired."

Shen Ninghua gave him a blank look: "It's not your fault, it's just some people's overthinking. Originally, they wanted to settle accounts with Tu Su's family slowly, but now it seems that they need to speed up their pace."

"Well, that's right, don't worry, I'll help you vent your anger." Baili Junyi smiled coldly, "Don't the Tusu family want fame, and I will give them enough reputation!"

When the next day went to court, many officials were still thinking about how to persuade the emperor to accept Tu Su Qingli, when they heard Baili Junyi let go: "There are still many places affected by the snowstorm, and I am really uneasy. There is not enough silver taels to help the imperial court. It just so happens that the Patriarch Tu Su volunteered to donate 3000 million taels of silver. His wife rewards the second rank Madam."

Ok?The excited officials suddenly froze, is it over?This is the end?A baron without a fief, a second-rank order?What's the use of this, the important thing is Tu Su Qingli, why is there no reward for her?
Immediately, an official stood up: "Your Majesty, this young lady from the Tusu family..."

"Huh?" Baili Junyi frowned, "Qi Aiqing, are you not satisfied with my reward?"

"No, I dare not, I just heard that something happened to Miss Tu Su..."

"Well, what you said is not bad. The fact that Tu Su Qingli poisoned Princess Linglong was too chilling. I originally planned to dispose of her. However, Princess Linglong is kind-hearted and generous, and has already expressed her forgiveness. In view of the great contribution of the Tusu family, I will not pursue it."

Many officials had very exciting expressions in their hearts. For 3000 million taels of silver, it is too expensive to exchange for one and not to be held accountable.

Tu Su Qingyun, who was waiting at Zuo Qing's home, turned pale when he heard this.

Zuo Qing couldn't bear to look at it: "Brother Qingyun, it's better to plan slowly now, don't worry too much."

Tu Su Qingyun nodded, and his face quickly returned to normal: "I have no way to teach my daughter, I didn't teach her well, and let her make such a big mistake. The emperor's ability to not pursue it is already a great favor to the Tu Su family. I am very grateful in my heart, Lord Zuo, I will go back and tap the silver tael, send it to the palace, and take my farewell."

"Brother Qingyun, please go ahead."

When Tu Su Qingyun left, Zuo Qing couldn't help but raised his hand and stroked his beard: "He is really a deep-minded person. If such a person becomes an official in the court, I will be inferior." The incident of Princess Linglong's poisoning was too strange before. Those who didn't investigate decided that it was Tu Su Qingli's work, and used this as an excuse to flatten the contribution of the Tu Su family. If it was him, he would probably vomit blood in anger.

Tu Su Qingyun returned to the mansion, and called Wei Shi over with a gloomy face: "Go and change your clothes and get ready to receive the order."

"Accept the order?" Webster's eyes lit up, and the color of ecstasy flashed across, "Master, did the emperor let Qing Li go?"

Tu Su Qingyun's face turned blue: "No, I was too careless this time..."

Wei Shi was startled, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he hurriedly went down and changed his clothes, and not long after tidying up, a servant came to deliver the order.

After listening to the content of the imperial decree, Wei Shi almost couldn't help but fell to the ground: Baron, the second order... What about Qing Li, her daughter Qing Li has nothing?

After Tu Su Qingyun thanked the imperial decree and sent the servant away, seeing that Wei Shi was still in a daze, he couldn't help but coldly said: "What expression do you have? The emperor gave the Tu Su family honor and rewarded the old man and you, you know Thank you, do you understand? Tomorrow, I will enter the palace with the old man to thank you, and there must be no mistakes!"

Wei Shi was taken aback, and then quickly restrained his expression: "Yes, I have lost my mind for a while. To be able to get the title of second-rank imperial order is already a virtue accumulated by my ancestors. I am extremely grateful in my heart and soul."

Tu Su Qingyun nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, this is just the beginning, we must keep our feet on the ground, and we must not lose our sense of proportion. Now the emperor is holding Princess Linglong to suppress Qing Li, so is Princess Linglong willing to be used? Wait until she wants to do it." When you were growing up, it was Qingli's early days, you should find a way to see Qingli tomorrow, have a good chat with her, and don't let her be so reckless again."

"Yes, I understand."

Tu Su Qingyun pondered for a moment: "I have already sent someone to bring Qiu'er over, and you can clean up a yard."

Webster's eyes trembled suddenly, and his voice was a little tense: "...Yes, I know."

"Don't worry, as long as Qingli is sensible, I will never abandon her. I took Qiuer over just in case, so don't think too much about it."

"Yes, I understand."
