Chapter 61
The corners of Li Qingge’s mouth raised slightly, and his smile was like the first blooming flowers in spring, gentle and bright. She said softly: "I have to stay in the capital for a few more days to handle the relocation and burial arrangements for my adoptive parents. I will definitely come to visit again when I have time." Her voice was soft but firm, revealing an undoubted sincerity.
When the queen heard this, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but then it turned into a gentle smile: "Then we have decided." There was a bit of expectation in her voice, as if she was already looking forward to it. Looking forward to the next gathering.
"Okay!" Li Qingge readily agreed, his smile even brighter, as if it could illuminate the gloom in people's hearts.
Just when Li Qingge turned around and was about to leave, she inadvertently moved slightly, and her clothes fluttered, bringing with it a breeze. A small object beside the queen slipped quietly. It was an exquisite jade pendant with complex patterns carved on it, revealing the traces of time. The queen watched her leave, her eyes full of complicated emotions. Then, she turned and returned to Kunning Palace. The tall palace door slowly closed behind her, as if the two worlds were separated.
Back at the inn, after dinner, Li Qingge picked up the unfinished green bamboo picture and continued to embroider it. Her fingers dexterously shuttled between the silk threads, each stitch and thread revealing her ingenuity. Su Xiaomei was helping her sort out the threads. Looking at her focused expression, she couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty met with the Queen of the Qing Dynasty today. She looks very happy!"
Li Qingge responded with a smile, then There was a bit of shyness and pride in her smile: "If you are so happy, it's just so-so." There was a bit of self-deprecation in her words, but the joy in her eyes could not be concealed.
Su Xiaomei pursed her lips and smiled, and joked: "It's just so-so. I look at you smiling like a flower, and the corners of your mouth are raised to the sky." Her voice was full of joy, as if He was also infected by Li Qingge's joy.
Hearing this, Li Qingge touched the corner of his mouth in surprise and said with a smile: "Is it so obvious?" Her eyes flashed with curiosity and surprise, as if she realized for the first time that her smile was actually So brilliant.
Su Xiaomei nodded affirmatively: "Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. Your Majesty and the Queen chatted so congenially, I am happy for you by your side." Her voice was full of sincerity. and joy, as if they were also happy for Li Qingge.
Li Qingge compared the color of the green bamboo thread, sighed, and his eyes became deep: "Power can really corrode people's hearts. The higher the position, the more powerful people are, the harder it is to be sincere, and the more lonely they feel. .The Queen usually looks like this. She is rigid and serious, and is not favored by the emperor. Everyone in the palace worships her like Guanyin Bodhisattva. I didn't expect that she would be so talkative and laugh when I met her." There was a hint of emotion and helplessness in her voice. Have a deep understanding and appreciation of power.
Su Xiaomei thought for a while and comforted: "Perhaps, this is the nature of mother and daughter. Even if you don't know your true form, Your Majesty, being connected by blood will make people naturally close to you." Her voice was full of emotion. Warmth and comfort seemed to find some solace for Li Qingge.
Li Qingge was filled with emotion, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes: "The power of blood is really incredible!" There was a bit of awe and emotion in her voice, as if she was full of this mysterious power. Awe and yearning.
Su Xiaomei frowned slightly and asked with some worry: "Your Majesty and the Queen had such a good chat today, do they want to recognize each other immediately?" There was a bit of concern and worry in her voice, as if Worried that Li Qingge would make impulsive decisions.
Li Qingge shook his head, his eyes firm and calm: "No, I still stick to my previous idea and exchange sincerity for sincerity. Before I am sure of the Queen's heart, I will not reveal the truth easily." Her voice was full of determination and reason, as if telling Amelia Su that her decision was carefully considered.
Hearing this, Amelia Su breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked worriedly: "The Queen's side is okay, it's the Emperor..." There was a bit of worry and uneasiness in her voice, as if she was worried that the Emperor would become their acquaintance. obstacles.
Li Qingge sneered, with a cold light in his eyes: "I can't make the final decision on the emperor's affairs. He is lustful and promiscuous. With so many children, how can father's love be distributed equally to everyone? ? I don’t care about his sparse fatherly love. I have already thought about how to ask for compensation from him, and I will make him bleed this time!" Her voice was full of indifference and determination, as if she was telling Amelia Su. Already prepared to deal with the emperor.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door. Yang Tianxiong hurried in and shouted: "Your Majesty the Queen, I am so happy! I am so happy!" His voice was full of excitement and joy, as if he had brought some great news.
Li Qingge put down the needle and thread in his hand and looked up at Yang Tianxiong, with curiosity and expectation in his eyes: "What happy event?" There was a bit of doubt and surprise in her voice, as if she was expecting some good news.
Yang Tianxiong said excitedly: "There is good news from the Dayan Navy. Marshal Shi Shuyu has captured four islands in Japan. The country of Japanese pirates will no longer exist from now on!" His voice It was full of excitement and pride, as if he was proud of Dayan's victory.
When Li Qingge heard this, he was overjoyed and stood up suddenly, his eyes shining with disbelief: "Is it true?" There was a bit of trembling and surprise in her voice, as if she was confirming the authenticity of the good news.
Yang Tianxiong nodded heavily, his voice firm and powerful: "It's absolutely true!" His eyes flashed with determination, as if to tell Li Qingge that the news was absolutely reliable.
"Great! Great! These thieves finally got their due retribution!" Li Qingge was so happy that he wanted to set off fireworks immediately to celebrate three days and three nights. Her voice was full of joy and excitement, as if she was extremely happy for Dayan's victory.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly drafted three imperial edicts, her movements as fast as an arrow leaving a string. The first imperial edict ordered Shi Shuyu to confiscate the three major artifacts of Japan - the Kusanagi sword, the eight-foot magatama and the eight-foot mirror, and present them to Dayan. Li Qingge decided to personally destroy these artifacts to completely destroy the Japanese people's spiritual beliefs. She knew that these three artifacts played an important role in the hearts of Japanese people and were sacred objects to the royal family and the people. If we want to completely destroy Japan, we must not only destroy its country and punish its people, but also inflict heavy spiritual damage. Destroying these artifacts is undoubtedly the best policy.
The second imperial edict is to reward meritorious officials, especially the general marshal Shi Shuyu and the navy officers. Li Qingge knew that this victory was hard-won and was earned by countless soldiers with their blood and lives. She wants them to know that their efforts and sacrifices are valuable and will be rewarded.
The third imperial edict concerns the handling of Japanese prisoners. Li Qingge decided to escort all these prisoners back to Dayan to serve as hard labor. She knew that these people were once enemies of Dayan and had brought endless pain and disaster to Dayan. Now, they have become the captives of Great Yan, and they must contribute to Great Yan to repay their past sins.
Three imperial edicts were sent out from the post house like three bolts of lightning and spread quickly throughout the capital. People were talking about the news, feeling proud of Dayan's victory. Li Qingge stood in front of the window, looking at the sky in the distance, his heart full of expectations and longing for the future. She knows that this victory is just the beginning and there is still a long way to go. However, she believed that with the joint efforts of Dayan's soldiers, they would be able to move towards a more glorious future.
Secrets of the Palace·Edict Storm
The second edict fell like ice on the land of Japan, and its words were so cold that it made people shudder. The edict requires that the people of Japan, regardless of age or sex, be demoted to a lowly status and be driven to mine like ants. Those once proud Japanese people could only kneel humbly at the feet of Dayan, using their scarred hands to dig out those shining gold and silver treasures. These treasures, just like their fate, were ruthlessly deprived, and then continuously transported back to Dayan via sea routes, becoming part of Dayan's treasury.
The mining site is a deserted land, surrounded by steep mountains and dense thorns. The sun was shining fiercely, as if it was going to scorch the earth. The miners were bare-chested and sweating, and they kept swinging the pickaxes in their hands, and each swing was accompanied by heavy breathing. Their eyes were full of despair and anger, but in the face of Dayan's iron hoof, they could only endure it silently.
Anyone who dares to resist will be immediately and ruthlessly suppressed. Dayan's soldiers held long guns and watched them coldly. Once there is any sign of resistance, they will not hesitate to raise their spears and stab the resisters to death. Those fallen figures will soon be dragged away by other miners and thrown aside. What awaits them is the fate of being forgotten.
And for those miners who really couldn't work anymore, Dayan's soldiers were even more merciless. They would reward the miners with a fried peanut, and then throw their bones into the sea, where they would become dinner for the fish and turtles in the sea. Those bones floating on the sea were ruthlessly abandoned and no one cared about them, just like the fate of the Japanese people.
The third edict was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire Japan. The edict ordered the construction of a super large toilet that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Its scale was unprecedented. The location was chosen by Li Qingge himself. It was a desolate and remote place, but later it became an ominous place for worshiping ghosts and gods that people gnashed their teeth at when mentioning it.
Li Qingge, the queen from another world, finally had a place to vent the breath she was holding in her heart. She vowed to turn that place into a smelly toilet to humiliate the Japanese people. The construction process of toilets is full of hardships and sufferings. The workers worked day and night, using their blood, sweat and lives to build this huge toilet. When the toilet was built, Li Qingge asked the emperor and his royal family members to clean it. The men clean the women's restrooms, and the women sweep the men's restrooms. This kind of humiliation and torture made the emperor and members of the royal family miserable.
However, Li Qingge was even more merciless towards those royal members who refused. She would tie them to the beach and leave them to the scorching sun and strong winds. Those once noble royal members were now being tortured mercilessly like livestock. Until they are turned into mummies and then thrown into the sea to become food for seabirds.
After the three edicts were issued, Li Qingge did not feel satisfied at all. She stood in front of the window of the inn, looked at the sky in the distance, and sighed: "It's a pity that Siberia is not my territory, otherwise I would still like to taste potatoes baked with cherry blossom-flavored soil." Her eyes flickered. Cold and decisive, it seems that he wants to trample the whole world under his feet.
......
The queen returned to the palace, but her heart felt as if it was pressed by a huge stone, and she could not let go. She sat on the couch, holding her cheeks in her hands, lost in thought. Aunt Rong was waiting on the side. When she saw the queen like this, she said softly: "My queen has been busy all day, so it's better to rest early." However, the queen shook her head and sighed: "I feel uneasy and can't sleep."
When Grandma Rong heard this, she wanted to light some soothing incense to appease the queen. However, the queen waved her hands and said: "I am upset, and it cannot be comforted by incense. Please talk to me." There was a hint of helplessness and exhaustion in her voice.
Nanny Rong came closer and whispered: "I haven't seen my empress so happy for a long time. The queen of Dayan..." There was a hint of temptation in her words.
Hearing this, the queen put a smile on her lips and said: "It's strange to say that I feel friendly when I see her. In this deep palace, except for you, there is no one who can speak my mind. She is a rare one. Confidant." There was a hint of warmth and nostalgia in her eyes.
However, Aunt Rong said with some worry: "Although she is considerate, she is the monarch of Great Yan after all, and she is incompatible with our Great Qing. This servant does not want to displease the empress, but this is a fact. If the empress gets too close to her, she might be taken advantage of, especially by the concubine. If she labels the empress as a traitor to the enemy, she will be in trouble."
When the queen heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she said fearfully: "You are right. The relationship between our Qing Dynasty and the Great Yan is like water and fire. Two years ago, the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma because of the fall of the south. Although he can endure it now, It didn't happen, but that's because the time hasn't come yet. If the emperor knew that I was friends with her, he would definitely become suspicious. Then..." There was a hint of trembling and uneasiness in her voice.
Nanny Rong sighed and said: "I know that it is rare for your Majesty to meet such an intimate person, but this matter is of great importance. Your Majesty has to think about your twelfth brother! If you fall out of favor with the Emperor because of this, , My brother’s future is in jeopardy.” Her eyes flashed with helplessness and worry.
The queen was silent for a long time, and finally said harshly: "I only have one son, Yongxun, so I have to make plans for him. Forget it, I'd better stay away from her in the future..." There was a trace of emotion in her voice. Determination and helplessness. However, before she finished speaking, she suddenly found that her Luanfeng white jade and gold beaded hairpin was missing.
That hairpin was specially made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when Qianlong first ascended the throne and made her Concubine Xian. It has accompanied her for twenty-five years and witnessed her prosperity and decline. Now she suddenly disappeared, which made her feel panicked. She hurriedly got up and looked for it, but she couldn't find the hairpin.
When Grandma Rong saw this, she also hurriedly helped to search. However, the two of them searched the entire palace, but still could not find the whereabouts of the hairpin. The queen felt annoyed and disappointed, as if she had lost something important. She sat on the couch, staring blankly ahead, her heart filled with endless melancholy and confusion...
...
The night was getting darker, and the moonlight fell like water on the glazed tiles of the palace. Shining with a cool light. The queen sat alone in the palace, feeling as if her heart was frozen by ice, unable to let go. She recalled her encounter and conversation with Li Qingge, and her heart was filled with endless melancholy and confusion.
The sun was so bright that day. She was wearing a luxurious phoenix robe and gold hairpin and jade ornaments, sitting on the throne of Kunning Palace. Li Qingge, on the other hand, wore a simple dress and walked into the hall with a smile. The two people's eyes met at that moment, as if there was an inexplicable tacit understanding flowing between them.
They had a great time chatting with each other, ranging from poems and songs to philosophy of life, and from palace trivial matters to national affairs. The queen discovered that Li Qingge was not only talented but also had unique insights, which made her admire him deeply. And Li Qingge also praised the queen's gentleness, virtuousness, wisdom and intelligence. The two seemed to have found a long-lost confidant.
However, the reality is so cruel. They belong to two different countries and have irreconcilable conflicts and hatred. The queen knew very well that she could not get too close to Li Qingge, otherwise it would not only bring trouble to herself, but also bring disaster to the twelfth prince. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in her heart.
She got up and walked to the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window, her heart filled with endless sadness. Under the moonlight, the outline of the palace becomes blurry and mysterious, as if it hides countless secrets and joys and sorrows. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil. However, the lost white jade and golden pearl hairpin of Luan Feng was like a magic spell, always lingering in her heart. She recalled the origin and meaning of the hairpin, and felt sad in her heart. It was a gift given to her by Qianlong when he first ascended the throne, symbolizing their love and marriage. Now that she suddenly disappeared, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss and uneasiness.
She closed her eyes and tried to recall the last traces of the hairpin. However, her mind was blank, as if the hairpin had never existed. She clenched her hands tightly and dug her nails into her palms, as if to suppress the gasp that was about to come out.
Grandma Rong walked into the palace gently. Seeing the queen's appearance, she comforted her softly: "Don't be sad, my queen. Although that hairpin is precious, it is something external to me after all. As long as the queen and the twelfth brother are safe, it will be the greatest success." I'm so happy."
Hearing this, the Queen opened her eyes and looked at Nanny Rong, feeling grateful in her heart. She took a deep breath and said: "You are right. I can't worry about these trivial matters anymore. I have to think about Brother Twelve and plan for our future."
She stood Get up, walk to the bronze mirror, and look at yourself in the mirror. Time has left traces on her face, but her eyes are still firm and bright. She knew she couldn't fall, couldn't be defeated. She wants to fight for her son and her future.
She turned around, looked at Nanny Rong, and said, "Please help me prepare. I'm going to see the emperor." There was a hint of determination and determination in her voice.
When Grandma Rong heard this, she was shocked, but then it turned into a gentle smile. She nodded and said: "Yes, empress. I will prepare it for you."
Under the moonlight, the queen's figure looked particularly tall and firm. She knows she still has a long way to go, but she is ready to face the challenges and wind and rain in the future...
Luanfeng is missing, and the undercurrent is surging
The Queen is sitting on Kun In front of the bronze mirror of Ning Palace, the white jade and golden hairpin that should have been firmly inserted in her black hair now only left an empty place. That hairpin was a dowry item carefully selected by her mother's family when she married into the royal family. The hairpin was engraved with delicate patterns of luan and phoenix, and gold beads were inlaid in it, making it shine brightly. Whenever the sun shines on it, it will reflect a dazzling light, just like her former youth and glory. As time goes by, this hairpin has been with her for many years, witnessing her transformation from a young girl to a empress with a mother-in-law, and it has also carried her countless joys, sorrows and joys.
Today, she wanted to wear the hairpin as usual, but unexpectedly it disappeared. The queen was so anxious that she clenched her hands so hard that her nails almost dug into her flesh. Her eyes searched around the room, as if the hairpin would suddenly appear in a corner.
Seeing this, Aunt Rong quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't worry, Madam, this hairpin may have been accidentally left behind while admiring the flowers. I will go to the Royal Garden to search carefully, and I will surely find something for you. Get it back." With that said, she called the palace ladies Chunlan and Qiu Gui, and the three of them walked into the imperial garden in the night carrying the gilded octagonal lantern.
In the imperial garden, the fragrance of flowers is overwhelming and the moonlight is like water. Chunlan and Qiugui held lanterns and illuminated the road in front, while Grandma Rong followed closely behind, scanning every corner with sharp eyes. They walked through the twists and turns of the path, passed through the lush flowers, and finally came to the corner of Jiang Xuexuan. There, a familiar hairpin was lying quietly on the grass, the moonlight shining on it, reflecting soft light.
Mama Rong felt happy and quickly stepped forward to pick up the hairpin. Just as she was about to return to Kunning Palace to report back to the queen, Qiu Gui suddenly exclaimed, picked up something and handed it to Grandma Rong: "Auntie, what do you think this is?" Grandma Rong took it and took a look, using the palace lantern. Shimmer examined it carefully and found that it was a small white jade pendant shaped like a rhinoceros. This pendant is exquisitely carved, the jade quality is exquisite, and the image of the rhinoceros is so lifelike that it seems to appear on the page at any time.
Seeing this pendant, Grandma Rong’s eyes suddenly widened, and countless questions arose in her heart. How come this thing appears here? Could it be... She seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly wrapped the pendant with a handkerchief, stuffed it into her sleeve, held the cuff tightly, and hurried back to Kunning Palace.
As soon as she arrived at the palace, she asked Chunlan and Qiu Gui to close the palace door to ensure that no outsiders would disturb them. Then she carefully presented the pendant to the Queen. When the queen saw the pendant, her eyes instantly turned red, and she asked in a trembling voice: "How could this thing appear there..." Her hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, as if to suppress the gasping for air.
Mother Rong’s face was solemn, with a hint of coldness in her tone: “This slave was also shocked when she found it. This pendant was specially ordered by the empress because the fifth princess was premature and weak. The pendant is used. The top-quality mutton-fat white jade included in the dowry was blessed by a great Tibetan lama. The female rhinoceros pattern on it is the ancient auspicious animal 'Si', which means that the five princesses are strong and blessed with longevity. After the princess passed away, the empress was so sad that she didn't want to miss her, so she was buried with her as a burial object. . Now that it appears again, there must be something fishy about it! ”
The queen's face was ashen and she asked in a trembling voice: "Do you suspect that someone used this pendant to curse my dead daughter?" Her eyes were flashing with tears, as if she would collapse at any time.
Nanny Rong shook her head and replied: "It's not a curse on the princess, but a curse on the empress and the twelfth prince in the name of the princess!" Her voice was low and powerful, as if every word was struck. In the queen's heart, "The princess has passed away. Death is like a lamp going out. Even if there is resentment, there is no way to recover. But the princess and the empress , brother are connected by blood, there is magic in the world that can use the ghost of the dead to cast a curse on the living. This spell is more vicious than the ordinary witchcraft. The person who is cursed will die within two or three months. He will become insane and die."
The queen's body trembled slightly, as if she had been hit by an invisible force. She gritted her teeth, as if to suppress the gasp that was about to come out.
Nanny Rong continued: "Recalling that the tomb was damaged shortly after the princess was buried, the servant felt strange at the time. How could a tomb robber abandon the jewelry and only take the body? Now it seems that all this It was all premeditated. The person behind the scenes used the princess's body as a medium and used the blood as a guide to curse the empress and brother. As for the pendant appearing in Jiang Xuexuan, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that the person behind the scenes is about to take action. The princess's body is too conspicuous and easy to be discovered, and this pendant has been with the princess for a long time and has been tainted with her aura. It was placed in the imperial garden near Kunning Palace. The curse will come true."
The queen's eyes became hollow and desperate, as if she saw an invisible black hole swallowing everything in her. She held the handkerchief tightly, as if it was her only support.
Seeing this, Aunt Rong quickly stepped forward to hold the Queen's shoulders and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, my slaves are here, and I will definitely find out the truth for you and my brother, and find out the person behind the scenes!" Her voice was firm. And powerful, as if a warm current poured into the queen's heart.
The queen nodded slightly, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She knew that in this crisis-ridden palace, only Grandma Rong was her most solid backing. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, they will work together until they find the truth!
In the following days, Grandma Rong secretly investigated the matter. She visited many palace maids and eunuchs, and even sneaked into the cold palace late at night to find out the news. After some arduous searching, she finally found some clues. It turns out that there is a huge conspiracy hidden behind this, involving many concubines and ministers of the DPRK. In order to fight for the imperial power, they did not hesitate to use the body of the fifth princess as the medium of the curse, trying to kill the queen and the twelfth prince.
After learning the truth, the queen was furious. She decided to take action personally to find out the criminals who dared to murder her and her son. With the help of Nanny Rong, she formulated a careful plan and began to gradually reveal the truth of the conspiracy.
A palace storm quietly set off, and the queen successfully foiled the conspiracy with her wisdom and courage. Those criminals who attempted to murder her and her son were finally punished as they deserved. The queen and the twelfth prince also united more closely during this crisis to face the challenges of the future together.
Time flies, and a few more years have passed in the blink of an eye. The queen was sitting in front of the bronze mirror of Kunning Palace, with the white jade and golden pearl hairpin firmly inserted in her hair again. She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes firm and calm. She knew that no matter how many storms there were in the future, she and her son would work together to protect this land that belonged to them.
The storm behind the rhinoceros horn pendant
When the queen heard this, her heart felt as if she had been cut by thousands of knives. Each knife stabbed her heart accurately, and it almost hurt her. Out of breath. Her hands were twisted together tightly, and her fingertips turned white from excessive exertion, as if she was trying to suppress the gasp that was about to come out. Her eyes were moist, but she resisted the tears from falling. Her usually majestic phoenix eyes were filled with endless sadness and anger.
Her beloved daughter passed away early, which is a great misfortune for a mother. She had met her daughter in her dreams countless times, but she could only face the cold reality when she woke up. And now, there are actually people who are deliberately trying to frame her, hoping that their daughter's soul will not have peace. Not only did they curse themselves in the name of their daughter, they also tried to extend this vicious curse to her young brother, pushing her into an unfilial and disloyal position. What a sinister and vicious heart! As a mother, how could the Queen tolerate such evil behavior to harm her children?
“Vicious woman!” The queen was furious and slammed the rosewood table next to her. The table was as hard as iron, and the back of her hand was red from the slap, and even a faint trace of blood could be seen seeping out. This is not the strength that ordinary people can have, which shows how deep the anger is in her heart. Her eyes seemed to spit out fire and set the entire Kunning Palace on fire.
Seeing this, Aunt Rong quickly held the Queen's hand and comforted her softly: "Mom, please calm down. I know that your heart is cut by a knife, and I wish you could tear that poisonous woman into pieces. But anger hurts the body, and those who love you hate those who hate you." Come on, this isn't a smart move Ah. You have to take care of yourself in order to seek justice for the princess and my brother."
The queen's eyes widened and she stared closely at the rhinoceros horn pendant. The rhinoceros pattern on the pendant seemed to be telling a story. Its misadventures. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're right, I can't make my loved ones sad and my enemies happy. My children are my lifeblood, how dare she use my daughter to curse my son, I am incompatible with her!" I must find out the truth, Let that vicious woman pay the price she deserves!"
Nanny Rong sighed and said, "I think the death of the fifth princess was also caused by the rumors of the concubine and the negligence of the palace people today. This matter, I'm afraid It's her handiwork. That concubine has always been ruthless and unscrupulous, so we have to be careful."
The queen nodded, her voice full of resentment: "Who else can think of it except that temptress. So evil A poisonous plan? In this deep palace, I will fight her to the end and let her repay me ten times a hundred times for the pain I have suffered!" Her voice echoed in the cold Kunning Palace, lingering for a long time. It also speaks of her determination and anger.
Jin Gui on the side had a subtle expression on his face. She lowered her eyes, seeming to be thinking about something. It turns out that Li Qingge inherited Jiang Yuyan's peerless martial arts, including a "mind-obsessing technique" that can make people lose consciousness and be used by her. Just like Yao Yue controlled Hua Wuque in the play, Li Qingge also secretly used this method on Jin Gui when he left after admiring the flowers, making her his spy. Although Jin Gui looked the same as usual at this moment, her mind was completely controlled by Li Qingge.
As soon as the Queen and Aunt Rong finished discussing their speculations, Jin Gui had already quietly spread the news. She walked quietly to the door, made sure no one was around, and then quickly slipped out of Kunning Palace. Her figure flashed past in the night, as silently as a ghost.
When Li Qingge learned the news, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair. Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe her ears. She originally just wanted the queen to doubt her daughter's life experience, which would trigger a series of disputes and chaos. But she didn't expect that the queen's thoughts would stray to the curse. This was something she didn't expect.
"Alas! This is not my original intention!" Li Qingge muttered to himself. She frowned, as if thinking about some countermeasures. She originally thought her plan was perfect, but she didn't expect to be misunderstood by the Queen and Aunt Rong like this. This is even more bizarre than Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow tree or Xue Baochai punching Guanxi!
Li Qingge then thought about it, the Queen and Aunt Rong always liked to invent conspiracies. They had used puppets to frame the protagonist group before, causing Ziwei to suffer; they also forced Concubine Xiang to return the pearl, and suspected Xiao Yanzi and others It's a witch. Now when I see the rhinoceros horn pendant, I think of a curse. Although it is outrageous, it is also reasonable. It's just that the depth of their imagination is really unexpected.
In this case, my plan has to change accordingly. Li Qingge thought to himself. She decided to temporarily abandon direct attacks on the Queen and look for other opportunities to cause chaos. She believed that as long as she had enough patience and wisdom, she would be able to win this court battle.
So, she began to secretly observe the queen's movements and look for her weaknesses. At the same time, she also strengthened her control over Jin Gui, allowing her to monitor the queen's every move more closely. In this war without gunpowder, both Li Qingge and the Queen tensed their nerves, ready to deal with each other's attacks at any time.
The queen was even more furious after learning that Jin Gui was Li Qingge's spy. She decided to take action herself and completely expose Li Qingge's conspiracy. She secretly investigated Li Qingge's background and whereabouts and discovered some unknown secrets about her. It turns out that Li Qingge is not as simple as she seems on the surface. There is a huge conspiracy and ambition hidden behind her.
The Queen decided to use these secrets to fight back against Li Qingge and make her pay the price she deserved. She carefully planned a plan to expose Li Qingge's conspiracy to the public at the palace banquet. She believes that as long as her plan succeeds, she will be able to defeat Li Qingge and seek justice for her daughter and brother.
At the palace banquet, the queen deliberately asked Jin Gui to lead Li Qingge to a remote corner. Then, she suddenly appeared in front of Li Qingge and revealed her secrets one by one. Li Qingge was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect the queen to know so many things. She tried to quibble, but the queen produced solid evidence that she could not refute.
In the end, Li Qingge's conspiracy was completely exposed, and she was severely punished by the queen. The queen used her wisdom and courage to seek justice for her daughter and brother, and restored tranquility and order to the palace. After this storm, the queen cherished the time with her family even more. She decided to use her own power to protect them and not let them be harmed again.
The Storm in the Palace: The Queen's Wrath and Li Qingge's Plan
In the secret letter, Jin Gui used delicate and trembling brushstrokes to describe the Queen's anger after learning the truth. She wrote that at that moment, the queen seemed to be swallowed up by endless darkness, and the anger in her eyes was like a blazing flame, almost turning everything around her into ashes. The queen's face was distorted and her mouth was tightened, revealing an unprecedented determination and coldness. Jin Gui has served the queen for many years, but has never seen her face with such a terrifying face. The grief mixed with anger makes people's hearts palpitate, as if even the air is frozen by it.
When Li Qingge received this secret letter, he was sitting alone in front of the window, looking at the falling leaves outside the window, with complicated emotions surging in his heart. She was silent for a long time, her deep eyes shining with wisdom and calculation. In this feudal era, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is like a shackle, firmly binding the fate of every woman. Especially in the harem, a land full of intrigue and struggle, the mother is more valuable than the son, and the status of the son often determines the honor and disgrace of the mother. The queen's resentment and love for her deceased daughter are particularly precious in this cruel land, and people can't help but feel some sympathy for her.
Li Qingge knew very well that his trip to Beijing to recognize his relatives was inherently complicated by many complicated interests and calculations. Her thoughts are not pure either. She has both a desire for family affection and a pursuit of power. Therefore, she did not force the queen to have a deep mother-daughter relationship with her. She only hopes that through her own wisdom and means, she can gain a foothold for herself and her people.
Thinking of this, Li Qingge gradually started to think twice. She stood up, walked to her desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, and began to describe her plan in detail. This plan is divided into two steps, which are carried out simultaneously. Just wait for the good news to come from Japan, and then we can start to close the network. She summoned Su Xiaomei and Yang Tianxiong and whispered in her ears to inform them of the plan in detail. Her voice was low and powerful, and every word revealed unquestionable determination.
