, and her spirit trembled, as if her luck was about to be sucked away.
That national teacher is really not simple.
Wuli Town is clearly at the end of the dragon's veins. Although it is not likely to be lucky, it is impossible to move here easily, causing the people to be displaced and their families to be destroyed.
I never thought that this national teacher could actually suck away the luck. Could it be that the luck in Wuli Town was exhausted by him?
Xian Yu frowned, held his breath in the mirror and concentrated, crossed his wrists together, his ten fingers turned like flowers, and he forcibly took back all his luck.
Not knowing the details of the national teacher, she dared not say a word, lest she would be found by the national teacher.
Outside the mirror, Li Qingning naturally sensed that something was wrong, she frowned, and climbed up steadily with the tray still in her hand.
When she walked to the viewing platform, she stopped outside the wooden pavilion, raised her eyes, and said slowly: "National teacher."
The door opened suddenly, and a man in white robe sat cross-legged in front of a stick of incense with his back to her.
"His Royal Highness." The man in white robe said, his voice was a bit hoarse, but it was indistinguishable.
Li Qingning's tightly pursed lips moved, "I also ask the national teacher to make another divination for Renyi Palace."
The man in white blew out the stick of incense, and stood up with his back to Li Qingning.
I saw a golden basin on the top of the stone pillar carved with cloud patterns, more than half of the clear water in the golden basin, and several hexagram beads lying in it.
Each of those beads glowed with a faint blue light in the water, they were all Tingtao beads.
The white-robed national teacher dipped his hand into the water, fiddled with the Tingtao beads in the basin, and the water patterns rippled round and round.
The golden basin is not an ordinary golden basin either, the inner wall is engraved with runes on eight sides, including the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces.
When listening to the collision of the waves and beads, the sound of the waves in the basin suddenly sounded like a big wave rushing.
After a while, the white-robed national teacher pinched a faint blue bead, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness, connect it firmly."
With a twist of his wrist, he heard the Taozhu and the water particles swaying with it all hit Li Qingning.
The light in Li Qing's eyes moved slightly, but he still stood in place and did not leave an inch.
Hearing that the beads fell into the gold plate, there were some fine marks in the originally transparent beads. Looking closely, those lines seemed to merge into one word——
"Positive."
According to the hexagram, the one in Concubine Ning's belly should be the son of a dragon.
Li Qing's eyes were deep, and he knew that the divination skills of this national teacher were much better than Qi Ming's, but Qi Ming was good at astrology, while this national teacher borrowed foreign objects to do divination.
She didn't realize it for a while, and when she lowered her eyes, she was startled that the water droplets that came with the beads hit the handle of the mirror.
The mirror book was firmly stuffed in her belt, but unexpectedly it fell out when it was touched by the water drop.
Li Qingning's eyes narrowed, and Xian Yu, who was in the mirror, also stared straight.
Xian Yu suddenly left the mirror and appeared in the house in the west of the city in an instant.
She was already dripping with sweat, her wet hair was messily stuck to her forehead, and her red dress was already drenched with sweat.
Bai Tu, who was lying on the table, raised his eyes slowly, looked at the person who had just appeared on the scene, and asked, "Why are you in such a mess?"
"It's him." Xian Yu gritted his teeth and said.
Panting for breath, she suddenly loosened the lapel that was attached to her chest, and her chest heaved and heaved due to the rapid breathing.
"Who?" Bai Tu didn't know why.
Xian Yu sneered, "He was the one who harmed me like that in my previous life."
Her heart sank, and she even wanted to get the hidden Danyin scroll. If there was no half scroll left, she would definitely repeat the same mistakes in her previous life.
This time, Li Qingning had to say if she didn't say it, and she had to give it if she didn't give it.
Chapter 83
83
In the house in the west of the city.
Xian Yu got up from the mirror and sat cross-legged on the bed, the dense sweat on her forehead slowly slipped down, wet her drooping eyelashes.
His eyelashes trembled, and sweat stained his lower eyelids.
She raised her hand and wiped her cuffs, and when she opened her eyes again, they were gloomy.
"Who exactly made you so embarrassed, have you ever met in your previous life?" Bai Tu looked at the person on the couch with bloodshot eyes.
Xian Yu frowned and said, "Yes."
In her previous life, she blasted open the tower gate, broke into the palace and beheaded thousands of people, and went all the way to the water prison to fish out the skeleton from the bottom of the water.
At that time, Bai Tu was no longer by her side. Before she was suppressed under the pagoda, Bai Tu had been left in the Ceasefire Palace by her.
Thinking about it, Bai Tu probably didn't know what happened afterwards, even if he knew, that's what he heard.
Xianyu frowned, and said slowly about the past, "I killed Li Wuyin, put His Highness's bones on the throne, and then..."
When recalling the scenes of her previous life, she couldn't remember exactly how fatal the blow she received was.
I only remember that moment when the soul was almost separated from the body, all the meridians in the body trembled, the aura in the body was chaotic and rushed around, and every inch of bone was hurting.
After pondering for a long time, Xian Yu said: "Then I took a slap."
After a pause, she continued: "He never showed up in the previous life. At that time, I was almost insane, and I didn't even realize that he was behind me. Even if I was prepared at that time, I might not be able to block that slap."
"Just one palm?" Bai Tu's hoarse and deep voice came from his belly.
"That's right, it's just a palm." Xian Yu frowned.
"You said with certainty that it was 'it' just now, do you already know his identity?" Bai Tu asked.
The more Xian Yu thought about it, the more bored she felt. She thought everything was under control, but unexpectedly there was another person blocking the way for no reason.
She twitched the corner of her lips, as if she was smiling, "I will be the imperial teacher."
Bai Tu arched his back, stretched his muscles and bones, "I don't have much impression of this national teacher... I'm old."
Xianyu's eyes suddenly brightened, and she raised her eyes to look at the rabbit on the table, "When I was hiding in the mirror today, His Highness brought me to the viewing platform of the Imperial Teacher. The moment I stepped on the stairs, I My luck seems to be sucked away, and I don't know what kind of sorcery it is."
Bai Tu was surprised, "Luck?"
Xian Yu nodded, "A few days ago, Wuli Town had a sudden earthquake. At that time, I felt a little strange. Although Wuli Town is not very prosperous, it is at the end of the dragon vein. Such a serious earthquake suddenly occurred. It is not allowed that luck is borrowed by others."
The rabbit on the table didn't say a word for a long time, even his red eyes were closed, and his ears were motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
After a long time, Bai Tu opened his eyes and said: "Do you know why I can't break through the realm, old man, and why I was struck by the thunder calamity so that I can only attach to a rabbit?"
"Why?" Xian Yu asked.
The rabbit opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were not very warm, "I have lost some luck."
Xian Yu frowned, she had never heard of it, even breaking through a realm requires luck.
"Not everyone can ascend to the Immortal Path. Only those with great fortune can see the Primal Origin." Bai Tu said slowly.
"In this way, the national teacher must also lack some luck." Xian Yu suddenly laughed, unexpectedly, in the previous life, he had fought against the wrong person.
It wasn't King Fengxian, nor the second prince, nor the mere two major sects. The person blocking the way was clearly the elusive national teacher.
Her words came true, she never thought that the national teacher would play with everyone in the palm of her hand.
"The national teacher wants to move the dragon's veins, so naturally he can't allow others to covet the throne, especially those who are not under his control." Xian Yu raised his eyebrows and said with disdain in his eyes.
Bai Tu said leisurely: "I don't understand these intrigues, but the national teacher must be on guard."
"Naturally." The sweat-drenched beauty in red on the couch nodded slightly, her raised eyes showing a fierce look.
Far away at the Tianshitai.
Li Qingning's eyes narrowed, and seeing the thick fog in the mirror suddenly cleared, she finally settled down and watched the mirror fall to the ground.
The holding mirror hit the ground with a thud, and there was a sound of shattering. The mirror surface was shattered into several pieces, and several identical shadows were shining brightly.
Li Qingning was still holding the gold plate in her hand, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to look at it, she said in a cold voice: "Holding the mirror unintentionally, it's causing trouble for the national teacher."
The white-robed national teacher still turned his back to her, "Your Highness's holding mirror was broken in this pavilion, and I should give it back to His Highness."
"It's okay, it's just a mirror." Li Qingning said lightly.
The national teacher's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was smiling, but there was no trace of a smile in his voice, "The bronze mirror has spirit, so it should be compensated."
Li Qing's eyes were gloomy, and she could tell from the water drops just hit that this national teacher was unfathomable.
When she came up just now, she had already sensed the trembling of her mind and soul and the abnormal movement of Qi. Fortunately, she had blocked the main veins all over her body, and secretly circulated the spiritual energy to seal the dantian, sea of qi and the top of the spirit, but fortunately she was not affected by it.
"In this case, I would like to thank the national teacher." Li Qing's eyes darkened, and he said: "This palace should also return to the palace, and His Majesty must have been waiting impatiently."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off," the white-robed national teacher said immediately.
Li Qingning sneered inwardly. The national teacher said "respectfully", but she clearly didn't even turn around. She couldn't bear such a "respectfully".
With such a person sitting in the position of national teacher, how can Li Zaiyu feel at ease?
The national treasury has been almost empty these years, and I don't know how much money was spent on the Tianshitai.
Li Qingning went downstairs with the gold plate, stepped on the footstool and sat in the carriage. She looked down at the cracked listening pearl on the plate, and frowned and looked up at the viewing platform.
The little boy standing under the carriage presented a piece of Lingluo brocade with both hands, and whispered: "Your Highness, use this cloth to cover the hexagram beads."
Li Qingning pinched a corner of the Lingluo brocade, put it on the Tingtao beads, and said calmly: "Go back to the palace."
The two monks who had been waiting at the bottom of the building for a long time looked at each other and said, "Yes."
All the way was unimpeded, and when they reached the palace gate, they changed their chariots and went all the way to Yuanzheng Hall.
The two monks were waiting outside the door, and Li Qingning stepped across the threshold holding the Tingtao beads, she walked forward slowly, paused, bowed slightly, "Chenmei has brought the Gua beads back. "
Li Zaiyu opened his eyes slightly, stood up suddenly with his hands on the table, his face was full of joy, and after thinking twice, he carefully asked two words: "How?"
The corners of Li Qingning's lips raised slightly, she seemed to be smiling but she wasn't smiling, what Li Zaiyu wanted was Long Zi, if a girl came suddenly, he might panic.
She held the gold plate high, walked up to Li Zaiyu with lowered eyes, presented the gold plate in front of him, and said indifferently: "Emperor brother, let's see."
The Lingluo brocade on the gold plate was lifted, and then the Tingtao beads were also pinched.
Li Qingning put down the tray and stepped back a little, her eyes were so indifferent that there was no trace of joy, which was completely different from Li Zaiyu's ecstatic look.
Seeing Li Zaiyu sinking to the bottom like a boulder, he let out a big breath, sat back slowly, raised the Tingtao Pearl to his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time.
The corners of his mouth opened wider and wider. After looking carefully, he retracted his five fingers, wrapped the Tingtao Bead in his palm, and said with a smile: "Reward, I want to reward you from the Tianshitai, Ning'er, I want to reward you too."
In the past ten years, Li Qingning hadn't heard Li Zaiyu call her like that for a long time. Although the word was intimate, it was still cold when it was uttered from his mouth and heard by her.
Li Zaiyu is not a person who thinks about love, Li Qingning has always been very clear.
After bowing to thank her, Li Qingning went back to Yangning Palace, and asked Fangxin to order someone to clean the bathing pool and then boil the hot water.
It was night, news came from the palace that the second prince Li Wuyin had already left the palace.
Li Qingning poured a cup of hot tea, and suddenly heard rustling sounds from outside the window, she propped up the window lattice, and saw a paper crane flying in, turning into ashes at her fingertips.
With all five fingers together, she took all the ashes into her palm, walked back to the table and slowly opened her palm, causing the ashes to fall on the table.
The cup of hot tea that was poured out just now was poured on the ashes, and the dust and ash gathered together and condensed into a few words——
"People have left the city."
In just a moment, the condensed dust scattered again and fell to the ground along the edge of the table along with the tea.
The "person" referred to naturally was Li Wuyin, so there was no need to think too much about it, it was Li Wuyin who led the soldiers and doctors out of the city and rushed to Wuli Town overnight.
Finally out of town.
Li Qingning patted her palms, and finally exhaled slowly.
She brought the teacup to her lips, and took a sip of the remaining tea in the teacup, and the tense shoulders and neck finally relaxed a little.
I don't know what's wrong with Xian Yu, I don't know if there will be any damage if I leave the mirror so rashly.
The national teacher must have noticed that there was something wrong with the mirror pinned to her waist, and when she threw out Tingtao beads, she deliberately controlled the water and shot down her mirror.
Fortunately, fortunately, Xian Yu left before the mirror shattered.
"Fangxin." Li Qingning suddenly raised her voice.
Fang Xin pushed open the door and walked in, seeing that her master's expression was wrong, she said in a low voice: "Fang Xin is here."
"Has Xian Yuelu been sent to Renyi Palace?" Li Qingning asked.
Fang Xin quickly replied: "It's delivered, Concubine Ning is very happy."
"Happiness?" Li Qingning lowered her eyes, muttered these two words in a low voice, and asked again: "What else did she say?"
"Not at all." Fangxin paused for a moment, her thin eyebrows frowned slightly, she suddenly came back to her senses, and said again: "But Concubine Ning's maid is a bit weird, she is pulling Concubine Ning's cuff and winking all the time, as if she doesn't want to disturb Ning Concubine. The concubine accepts."
"A court lady, still want the master not to accept her?" Li Qingning said slowly.
Fang Xin nodded, "But Concubine Ning still had someone take Xian Yuelu to the storeroom, and didn't say much."
Li Qingning thought for a moment, if it was true what Xian Yu said, Li Zaiyu should not be able to stay any longer, and she didn't know if Concubine Ning of Renyi Palace had nothing to say, or had nothing to say.
"That's all." She raised her hand and took another sip of her tea.
Fang Xin stood by, thought for a while and said: "Since the second prince has already left the city, then we need to send someone to watch over him."
Li Qingning said indifferently: "Of course we have to keep an eye on it."
"Yes." Fang Xin replied, "Your Highness, the water is ready."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, stood up and said, "The bath pan is ready."
Fang Xin turned her head and asked, "Which box of bath soap will your Highness use today?"
Li Qing Ningsi and Xian Yu's amorous peach blossom-like eyes seemed to be scratched by a magpie's feather, and they said expressionlessly: "Let's bathe the pancreas with peach blossoms."
"Yes." Fang Xin replied, and hurriedly prepared the bath pan for His Royal Highness.
Li Qing condensed into the water, leaned against the wall of the pool and closed his eyes tightly.
The water temperature is just right, the bath pan is sent by Pinxiangfang, and it smells like peach blossoms.The peach blossoms are charming, but the fragrance is not too sweet, it is fragrant and elegant, just like that person, soft but seductive.
This bathing pool in Yangning Palace is not as good as the one she soaked in when she pretended to use the marrow dew, it is a bit narrow and not very luxurious.
The water mist filled the face, and the fragrance of the bath pancreas seemed to blend with the water mist, and the water mist was full of peach blossom fragrance.
She was drowsy, and she seemed to hear the sound of water entering in a trance.
Ben was leaning against the edge of the pool, and when he lost his mind, he didn't know why he was in the middle of the pool.
Turning around following the sound, I saw the man in red approaching her in the water. The man walked very slowly, and as he walked, water ripples came towards her.
The man's red clothes were mostly wet, and his waist was buried in the water. The thin cloth was tightly attached to his waist, making his flexible waist even more slender.
Perhaps it was because the red dress was too flimsy, and after soaking in water, a plain white complexion was faintly revealed.
Through the water, the waist and legs are all visible...shocking.
It was Li Qingning's heart that was shocked.
She heard the man in red ask her why she had such a cold face, she had nothing to say, her heart was already ebbing like a tide, but her face was still as cold as ice.
The man in red stuck to her back, which was as soft as the water in this pool.
It was soft and warm, and the hands were still clinging tightly to her waist, like vines that couldn't grow without her.
The man also slightly bent his knees, pressed against her legs, and slowly rubbed against her, clearly trying to wear down her patience to the point where it was not left.
This person is provocative, clearly provocative.
She didn't say a word, but felt a heavy weight on her shoulders, the other party put her sharp chin up, and even scooped up water to pour on her shoulders.
The warm water slid down her shoulders, eroding an inch of her patience with every inch it trickled down.
She couldn't hear what the body man said later, but felt that the person who was pressing against her back seemed to be hotter than the water in the pool, and it was so hot that there was not even an inch of intact skin left on her back.
She didn't want to bear it anymore, she turned around and pinched the man in red's chin which was resting on her shoulders, and saw that man's thin red lips opened and closed again, but what the man in red said was no longer important.
Those lips were clearly hooking her to bite.
She suddenly pressed the man against the wall of the pool, thinking about how the man touched the back of her leg with his knee just now, she said in a calm voice, "Could it be that you want to use your knee?"
The man in red frowned slightly in pain when he was pressed against the wall of the pool, and after taking a quick breath, he laughed again, "Your Highness just didn't move, do you like it very much?"
She pressed the man's left knee, the knee bone was thin and thin, as soft as fat.
"You'll know if you try it." She leaned close to the man's ear and said every word in a cold voice.
After finishing speaking, Li Qingning clearly felt that she had bent her knees and was actually pushing towards the man in red.
Through the water-soaked thin dress, she stared straight at the man's eyes that were gradually turning red, and said slowly, "That's the only way?"
The man in red bit his lower lip slightly, raised his eyebrows provocatively and said, "Is His Highness's hand useless?"
Hearing this, her eyes darkened, and she slowly lowered her hand, but it was still through the cloth.
Although the material is soft, it is still much rougher than your hands.
After a while, the man in red slowly slid down the pool wall, his shoulders and neck buried in the water.
She wrapped her arms around the waist of the man in red and lifted him up, her eyes darkened immediately, and she tossed him until he couldn't cry.
The water is getting cooler, and the autumn wind is blowing from a distance.
Li Qingning, who was leaning against the pool wall, opened her eyes suddenly, and suddenly realized that she had just dreamed about the events of her previous life.
She came out of the pool, changed her clothes, and walked along the corridor to the dormitory. Instead of letting Fangxin enter the room to wait on her, she dried her long hair by herself.
Her hair was half-dried but she still didn't move. It's not that she didn't recover from the dream just now, but she was sitting in front of the mirror and waiting for the person whose eyes were red from crying in her dream.
Sure enough, not long after, the thick fog on the bronze mirror in front of him dispersed, and a figure approached from a distance, it was Xian Yu.
As soon as Xian Yu cleared the fog, she saw Li Qingning sitting in front of the mirror stand. She was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Qingning carefully for a long time, and then said: "Then the national teacher will make things difficult for you later?"
Li Qingning felt relieved when she saw that the person in the mirror was safe, "No."
"The national teacher must have noticed that I was hiding in the mirror, so he shot down the holding mirror on purpose." Xian Yu gritted his teeth.
She chatted with Bai Tu, and she was sure that the national teacher had a lot of scheming, maybe he coveted not only the dragon's veins, but also Dongzhou's national fortune, otherwise why Dongzhou has been in the hands of Li Zaiyu since the first emperor Even worse.
She naturally wanted to say this to Li Qingning, but when she was about to speak, the person in front of the mirror turned her head away without a trace, and her eyes seemed to flicker.
It's too rare for Li Qingning to look like this, she only shows such an expression occasionally when she makes her feel ashamed when she teases her.
Xian Yu was taken aback for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips and said, "Why doesn't Your Highness look at me? It's because I'm old and decrepit, don't you look good?"
Li Qingning's forehead twitched, and she didn't know where this person learned "old and decrepit", she pressed her lips tightly together, "If you are old, wouldn't I..."
Xian Yu was delighted, "Could it be that Your Highness thinks I'm too old, but I'm actually not that old. If I hadn't eaten the Bisheng flower, I would be only ten years younger than Your Highness."
Li Qingning: ...
Seeing that she had even closed her eyes, Xian Yu spoke even more vigorously, "Your Highness, don't panic, the two lives add up, we are not young anymore."
Not only that, Li Qingning took a deep breath, thinking of the scene she dreamed about in the bath just now, and felt that she was simply disrespectful.
No, why add it up?The previous life is the previous life, and the present life is the present life, how can they add up.
Xian Yu saw that Li Qingning's complexion changed again and again, and laughed in the mirror, "Forget it, this time I'm here to talk to His Highness about something serious."
Only then did Li Qingning look at the person in the mirror, and thought, so this person also knew that he was not serious before.
Only then did Xian Yu say: "Then the national teacher is really the one who harmed me in the previous life. I don't know if His Highness is aware of the fact that he sucks luck?"
"Yes." Li Qingning frowned.
Xian Yu told her what Bai Tu had said to her again, and then said: "The national teacher must have moved the dragon's veins. What he lacks is not so much glory and wealth, but luck, it is the luck of the country."
Li Qingning's face darkened when she heard the words, she had naturally thought about it, but it was only through Xian Yu's mouth that it made her firm in her thoughts.
Why have there been many natural disasters in Dongzhou these years, why the number of refugees has only increased, and why the people have frequently complained of suffering.
Xian Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't know how the second prince is doing now."
"The disaster relief has gone." Li Qing said coldly.
Xian Yu nodded slightly, "The second prince cannot stay."
"Of course we can't stay." Li Qingning said with downcast eyes.
Xian Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were very bright, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
She didn't know how to ask Li Qingning for the Danyin Remnant Scroll, thinking that Li Qingning would definitely not give it, but she had to.
Seeing that she was silent, Li Qingning frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Xian Yu let out a muffled cough, looked away and said, "Just now His Highness refused to look at me directly. Could it be that he dreamed about his past life again, or did some disrespectful things in his dream again?"
Li Qingning couldn't help holding her breath, although her face was still cold, her pupils trembled invisibly.
Xian Yu faltered and said again: "Could it be that I was right? Your Highness is very dishonest. He always dreams and doesn't tell me. Speaking of it, if you go to some places you have been to in your previous life, and do some things you have done in your previous life Things, maybe I can recall more."
Li Qingning: ...
Xian Yu looked back, the light in his eyes was as soft as water, "If Your Highness wants to, I will do my best to cooperate, but I have to exchange one thing."
Li Qingning choked up and asked, "What is it?"
"Danyin remnants." Xian Yu faltered.
The next moment, the bronze mirror was flipped back onto the table again.
Xian Yu gritted his teeth and chiseled his teeth. If he really couldn't show weakness, he had to be tougher.
She looked at the pitch-black area in front of the mirror, and snorted coldly, "I'll meet Concubine Ning tonight, so I won't say much to Your Highness. Don't stop me, Concubine Ning is not a good person, and I won't be merciful." .”
It took a long time for Li Qingning to stand up the bronze mirror, only to see that the thick fog had cleared away.
Her forehead twitched, she just felt a headache, she didn't know how to meet Concubine Ning that desperately.
In the Palace of Renyi, Concubine Ning really didn't have nothing to say, but she had nothing to say.
She was sitting in the house with her stomach covered, and her personal maid stood beside her. She looked sleepy, and she was obviously happy when receiving the gift, but now the blood on her lower face has faded, and even the color of her lips has turned white.
"Why did His Royal Highness send Xian Yuelu?" Concubine Ning's thin body was trembling, she wanted to pick up the teacup, but her hands were shaking, she shook out the hot tea in the teacup, and scalded her fingertips caught.
The maid did not dare to speak, and her face turned pale.
Concubine Ning turned around abruptly, and grabbed the hands covering her lower abdomen to the hands of the maid, her pupils trembled suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the eldest princess knows something?"
"Your Majesty, when the Second Highness came down, no one saw it, so how did the Eldest Princess know?" The servant girl was caught by her hands suddenly, unable to break free, she could only stiffen her body and said.
"Yes." Concubine Ning's eyes flickered, "How did she know that?"
The maid lowered her voice and said, "Perhaps the eldest princess just happened to give Xian Yuelu to the empress."
Concubine Ning breathed a sigh of relief, opened her mouth and inhaled, "It would be fine if it was just a coincidence, now that Wu Yin has just left the palace, if His Majesty finds out about this, he will definitely not be allowed to come back safely..."
"Your Majesty is worrying too much, how could Your Majesty know." The maid said hastily.
Concubine Ning shook her head, "He can't die."
"The second prince is auspicious, and he will come back safely." The maid said again.
Concubine Ning was dizzy, she raised her hand and pressed her forehead, "Last time regarding the matter of Yixiang, the Eldest Princess wanted to search the Renyi Palace, but Wuji blocked it, but fortunately only two palace people died later."
"The second prince will definitely not let the empress do anything." The maid hurriedly said again.
"At that time, the eldest princess must have become suspicious, she must have known about it." Concubine Ning closed her eyes and sat on the drum stool, precariously.
The maid hurriedly pulled out the hand that was tightly held by her, supported her shoulder and said: "That matter is over, the empress don't think about it anymore."
"How can I not think about this, you know how miserable those two people were when they died." Concubine Ning's voice was soft, but she paused every word.
She changed her voice and said again: "Who doesn't know that Mr. Cheng once bought a hundred cups of Xianyuelu for his daughter, and later the daughter of the Cheng family did such a scandal and was kicked out of the house by Mr. Cheng, and gave away all the hundred cups of Xianyuelu people."
The maid pursed her lips and said nothing, her hands were tightly on Concubine Ning's shoulders.
Concubine Ning said again: "Perhaps the Xian Yuelu from the eldest princess was given by Master Cheng."
Her eyes widened again, and she said in horror: "She must know!"
"Your Majesty!" The maid was sweating anxiously, "No, the Eldest Princess will not know, Your Majesty will be fine, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince will return to the palace safely."
Concubine Ning shook her head, but she was too tired to say a word.
The maid took a deep breath, "Your Majesty is tired, it's better to rest earlier."
Concubine Ning then said: "Yes, I am tired."
She stood up unsteadily, protected her abdomen, and let the personal maid help her to the edge of the couch, resting the back of her head on the pillow, and fell asleep after a while.
In the dream, she vaguely saw a woman in red waving at her from a distance, but she hurriedly approached but couldn't see the woman's face clearly.
In the dream, the woman in red said softly, "You know you are guilty."
Concubine Ning was shocked, "No, I don't know."
"But you are guilty of a serious crime." The man in red said meaningfully.
Concubine Ning subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, "I am not guilty."
"If you're not guilty, then why are you panicking." The man in red laughed.
"Who are you?" Concubine Ning staggered back a few steps, looking at the people in the distance and asked in a trembling voice.
The man in red said meaningfully: "This seat is an evil spirit, and I am looking for a substitute for the deceased. Just look at my red dress. The reason why I am so bright red is naturally because I was stained with the blood of thousands of people, but this seat is only kill the guilty."
"How can you say that people are guilty?" Concubine Ning stared wide-eyed.
When the man in red took a step closer, she took a step back.
Concubine Ning was forced to the point of collapse, her cheeks were already full of tears.
The man in red was like strolling in the courtyard, he really looked like an evil ghost, she said slowly: "The child in your womb is the son of the second prince? You are in the palace, but you did such a nasty thing It is one crime to be unfaithful, one crime to deceive the emperor, one crime to attempt to murder the current sage, and one crime to blame innocent people."
The man in red paused, and said again: "You know that the second prince intends to usurp the throne, but if you don't report it, it's another crime."
Concubine Ning immediately knelt down protecting her lower abdomen, kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, please forgive me."
"I forgive you, but who will forgive the palace servants who died for no reason? Do you know how terribly those two people cried before they were beaten to death? They also shouted for mercy, but you, my lady, in Renyi Palace It was a pleasant stay." The man in red stopped in front of her, and said slowly with his eyes downcast.
"Besides, not only those two people, but also their family was executed. Madam, you felt half guilty at that time." The man in red said again.
Concubine Ning knelt on the ground, and saw that the pair of embroidered shoes of the man in red was also red as if stained with blood, the white ankle bones on the top of the shoes could not be easily broken, and the top was covered by the red skirt.
"I'm guilty, I'm guilty!" Concubine Ning said quickly.
The man in red chuckled, "Could it be that you think that after the Second Prince ascends the throne, the Queen's position belongs to you."
Concubine Ning trembled all over, and kowtowed her head suddenly after her thoughts were revealed, "I am indeed convicted!"
"It's been a long time since the imperial medical office diagnosed you to be pregnant with this child, but the emperor hasn't asked about it yet. The imperial medical office also doesn't know when the emperor has been to the Renyi Palace. If the emperor finds out, you and the second prince who is on the way to rescue the disaster will be separated." I'm dead." The man in red said calmly.
"Then, what should I do, I beg the Great Immortal to save me." Concubine Ning was crying out of breath.
The man in red said: "This seat has a plan. You just need to buy the imperial medical office. No matter what the emperor asks at that time, he won't be able to detect any abnormalities."
The doors and windows were rumbled by the wind. Concubine Ning woke up suddenly, and suddenly found that the cloth pillow was soaked, and she stared at her eyes for a long time without returning to her senses.
She murmured: "Wujian can't die, Wujian absolutely can't die."
Early the next morning, Concubine Ning could not be found inside or outside Renyi Palace.
When Li Qingning heard about this, she frowned slightly, "I really can't find it?"
Fang Xin whispered to the side: "I heard that I couldn't find anyone early in the morning, and I don't know whether it was missing last night or this morning."
Li Qingning recalled what Xianyu said in the mirror yesterday, she pinned the emerald jade on her hair, and said slowly, "Go and see."
When the walking chariot was about to arrive at the Renyi Palace, she saw that Li Zaiyu's chariot was also there.
In the yard, Li Zaiyu was furious, "Look, if you can't find anyone, you will all lose your life!"
A group of palace people lowered their heads and huddled in response, turned around and scattered around, looking for it without a clue.
Li Qingning walked in, frowned and said, "Brother Huang."
Li Zaiyu sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
After a long time, a person in the distance knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, there seems to be someone in the well."
Hearing this, Li Zaiyu quickly walked towards the stone well, he seemed about to faint just by looking into the well.
Li Qingning looked up, turned her head and whispered to Fangxin: "Go and invite the people from the Imperial Medical Office, and let them tell everything they know."
"Yes." Fang Xin said in a deep voice.
Li Zaiyu shouted in the distance: "Fill, fish it for me!"
A guard clasped his fists in response, tied the rope around his waist, and jumped down from the mouth of the well.
After a while, the people in the water were fished out.
Concubine Ning's whole body had been soaked in water and her lips were pale.
People are gone.
Li Qingning knew it with just one glance, after all Concubine Ning was completely cold and her body was already stiff.
Li Zaiyu was so angry that he almost fainted, and he managed to stand still by supporting the body of the eunuch beside him.
The surrounding maids took a step back, their eyes widened, while Concubine Ning's personal maid was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
"Sister Chen has invited the imperial physician over." Li Qing said coldly.
Li Zaiyu nodded slightly, looked at Concubine Ning's close maid, and said angrily, "Is this how you take care of the master?!"
The palace maid dared not say anything, she knelt on the ground shaking like a sieve.
Under Li Zaiyu's scolding, she broke out in a cold sweat, told half of what happened last night, and kept swallowing.
"Other than that?" Li Zaiyu asked sharply again.
The maid kept shaking her head, pursed her lips and said nothing more.
"If you conceal anything, you will pay for Concubine Ning's life!" Li Zaiyu exclaimed.
Concubine Ning's close maid was trembling, and she could barely finish her sentence, "Slave, slave girl, I must, must not dare to say half a sentence, half a lie."
After a while, the doctor who took Concubine Ning's pulse rushed over, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the empress lying on the ground.
The doctor fully explained the pulse condition diagnosed that day, he secretly glanced at Fang Xin, and said cautiously: "Concubine Ning is pregnant, it has been... for more than two months."
Li Zaiyu's eyes went dark, and he fell on the old eunuch who was supporting him.
Chapter 84

In the vermilion palace wall, there was a sound of sobbing.
The doctor kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw the eunuch who was supporting Li Zaiyu, his eyes were red with anxiety, he quickly waved his hands and said, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come and see for Your Majesty!"
The doctor quickly stood up, brushed the hem of his clothes and walked over, carefully raised Li Zaiyu's eyelids, and said again: "I have offended you."
"Quick!" The eunuch sighed and shouted again.
The doctor had no choice but to pinch Li Zaiyu's cheeks in one go, forcing him to open his mouth so that he could see the situation in his mouth clearly.
He held up Li Zaiyu's wrist, put his fingers on it again, and after a while, he backed up a little, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness/Weakness, coupled with anger, just fainted for a while."
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was relieved, his heart raised his throat again.
I saw the maidservants kneeling in the distance shaking their bodies tremblingly and lowering their heads, as if they were waiting for the sentence to be pronounced.
"Today, today..." Too
That national teacher is really not simple.
Wuli Town is clearly at the end of the dragon's veins. Although it is not likely to be lucky, it is impossible to move here easily, causing the people to be displaced and their families to be destroyed.
I never thought that this national teacher could actually suck away the luck. Could it be that the luck in Wuli Town was exhausted by him?
Xian Yu frowned, held his breath in the mirror and concentrated, crossed his wrists together, his ten fingers turned like flowers, and he forcibly took back all his luck.
Not knowing the details of the national teacher, she dared not say a word, lest she would be found by the national teacher.
Outside the mirror, Li Qingning naturally sensed that something was wrong, she frowned, and climbed up steadily with the tray still in her hand.
When she walked to the viewing platform, she stopped outside the wooden pavilion, raised her eyes, and said slowly: "National teacher."
The door opened suddenly, and a man in white robe sat cross-legged in front of a stick of incense with his back to her.
"His Royal Highness." The man in white robe said, his voice was a bit hoarse, but it was indistinguishable.
Li Qingning's tightly pursed lips moved, "I also ask the national teacher to make another divination for Renyi Palace."
The man in white blew out the stick of incense, and stood up with his back to Li Qingning.
I saw a golden basin on the top of the stone pillar carved with cloud patterns, more than half of the clear water in the golden basin, and several hexagram beads lying in it.
Each of those beads glowed with a faint blue light in the water, they were all Tingtao beads.
The white-robed national teacher dipped his hand into the water, fiddled with the Tingtao beads in the basin, and the water patterns rippled round and round.
The golden basin is not an ordinary golden basin either, the inner wall is engraved with runes on eight sides, including the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces.
When listening to the collision of the waves and beads, the sound of the waves in the basin suddenly sounded like a big wave rushing.
After a while, the white-robed national teacher pinched a faint blue bead, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness, connect it firmly."
With a twist of his wrist, he heard the Taozhu and the water particles swaying with it all hit Li Qingning.
The light in Li Qing's eyes moved slightly, but he still stood in place and did not leave an inch.
Hearing that the beads fell into the gold plate, there were some fine marks in the originally transparent beads. Looking closely, those lines seemed to merge into one word——
"Positive."
According to the hexagram, the one in Concubine Ning's belly should be the son of a dragon.
Li Qing's eyes were deep, and he knew that the divination skills of this national teacher were much better than Qi Ming's, but Qi Ming was good at astrology, while this national teacher borrowed foreign objects to do divination.
She didn't realize it for a while, and when she lowered her eyes, she was startled that the water droplets that came with the beads hit the handle of the mirror.
The mirror book was firmly stuffed in her belt, but unexpectedly it fell out when it was touched by the water drop.
Li Qingning's eyes narrowed, and Xian Yu, who was in the mirror, also stared straight.
Xian Yu suddenly left the mirror and appeared in the house in the west of the city in an instant.
She was already dripping with sweat, her wet hair was messily stuck to her forehead, and her red dress was already drenched with sweat.
Bai Tu, who was lying on the table, raised his eyes slowly, looked at the person who had just appeared on the scene, and asked, "Why are you in such a mess?"
"It's him." Xian Yu gritted his teeth and said.
Panting for breath, she suddenly loosened the lapel that was attached to her chest, and her chest heaved and heaved due to the rapid breathing.
"Who?" Bai Tu didn't know why.
Xian Yu sneered, "He was the one who harmed me like that in my previous life."
Her heart sank, and she even wanted to get the hidden Danyin scroll. If there was no half scroll left, she would definitely repeat the same mistakes in her previous life.
This time, Li Qingning had to say if she didn't say it, and she had to give it if she didn't give it.
Chapter 83

In the house in the west of the city.
Xian Yu got up from the mirror and sat cross-legged on the bed, the dense sweat on her forehead slowly slipped down, wet her drooping eyelashes.
His eyelashes trembled, and sweat stained his lower eyelids.
She raised her hand and wiped her cuffs, and when she opened her eyes again, they were gloomy.
"Who exactly made you so embarrassed, have you ever met in your previous life?" Bai Tu looked at the person on the couch with bloodshot eyes.
Xian Yu frowned and said, "Yes."
In her previous life, she blasted open the tower gate, broke into the palace and beheaded thousands of people, and went all the way to the water prison to fish out the skeleton from the bottom of the water.
At that time, Bai Tu was no longer by her side. Before she was suppressed under the pagoda, Bai Tu had been left in the Ceasefire Palace by her.
Thinking about it, Bai Tu probably didn't know what happened afterwards, even if he knew, that's what he heard.
Xianyu frowned, and said slowly about the past, "I killed Li Wuyin, put His Highness's bones on the throne, and then..."
When recalling the scenes of her previous life, she couldn't remember exactly how fatal the blow she received was.
I only remember that moment when the soul was almost separated from the body, all the meridians in the body trembled, the aura in the body was chaotic and rushed around, and every inch of bone was hurting.
After pondering for a long time, Xian Yu said: "Then I took a slap."
After a pause, she continued: "He never showed up in the previous life. At that time, I was almost insane, and I didn't even realize that he was behind me. Even if I was prepared at that time, I might not be able to block that slap."
"Just one palm?" Bai Tu's hoarse and deep voice came from his belly.
"That's right, it's just a palm." Xian Yu frowned.
"You said with certainty that it was 'it' just now, do you already know his identity?" Bai Tu asked.
The more Xian Yu thought about it, the more bored she felt. She thought everything was under control, but unexpectedly there was another person blocking the way for no reason.
She twitched the corner of her lips, as if she was smiling, "I will be the imperial teacher."
Bai Tu arched his back, stretched his muscles and bones, "I don't have much impression of this national teacher... I'm old."
Xianyu's eyes suddenly brightened, and she raised her eyes to look at the rabbit on the table, "When I was hiding in the mirror today, His Highness brought me to the viewing platform of the Imperial Teacher. The moment I stepped on the stairs, I My luck seems to be sucked away, and I don't know what kind of sorcery it is."
Bai Tu was surprised, "Luck?"
Xian Yu nodded, "A few days ago, Wuli Town had a sudden earthquake. At that time, I felt a little strange. Although Wuli Town is not very prosperous, it is at the end of the dragon vein. Such a serious earthquake suddenly occurred. It is not allowed that luck is borrowed by others."
The rabbit on the table didn't say a word for a long time, even his red eyes were closed, and his ears were motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.
After a long time, Bai Tu opened his eyes and said: "Do you know why I can't break through the realm, old man, and why I was struck by the thunder calamity so that I can only attach to a rabbit?"
"Why?" Xian Yu asked.
The rabbit opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were not very warm, "I have lost some luck."
Xian Yu frowned, she had never heard of it, even breaking through a realm requires luck.
"Not everyone can ascend to the Immortal Path. Only those with great fortune can see the Primal Origin." Bai Tu said slowly.
"In this way, the national teacher must also lack some luck." Xian Yu suddenly laughed, unexpectedly, in the previous life, he had fought against the wrong person.
It wasn't King Fengxian, nor the second prince, nor the mere two major sects. The person blocking the way was clearly the elusive national teacher.
Her words came true, she never thought that the national teacher would play with everyone in the palm of her hand.
"The national teacher wants to move the dragon's veins, so naturally he can't allow others to covet the throne, especially those who are not under his control." Xian Yu raised his eyebrows and said with disdain in his eyes.
Bai Tu said leisurely: "I don't understand these intrigues, but the national teacher must be on guard."
"Naturally." The sweat-drenched beauty in red on the couch nodded slightly, her raised eyes showing a fierce look.
Far away at the Tianshitai.
Li Qingning's eyes narrowed, and seeing the thick fog in the mirror suddenly cleared, she finally settled down and watched the mirror fall to the ground.
The holding mirror hit the ground with a thud, and there was a sound of shattering. The mirror surface was shattered into several pieces, and several identical shadows were shining brightly.
Li Qingning was still holding the gold plate in her hand, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to look at it, she said in a cold voice: "Holding the mirror unintentionally, it's causing trouble for the national teacher."
The white-robed national teacher still turned his back to her, "Your Highness's holding mirror was broken in this pavilion, and I should give it back to His Highness."
"It's okay, it's just a mirror." Li Qingning said lightly.
The national teacher's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was smiling, but there was no trace of a smile in his voice, "The bronze mirror has spirit, so it should be compensated."
Li Qing's eyes were gloomy, and she could tell from the water drops just hit that this national teacher was unfathomable.
When she came up just now, she had already sensed the trembling of her mind and soul and the abnormal movement of Qi. Fortunately, she had blocked the main veins all over her body, and secretly circulated the spiritual energy to seal the dantian, sea of qi and the top of the spirit, but fortunately she was not affected by it.
"In this case, I would like to thank the national teacher." Li Qing's eyes darkened, and he said: "This palace should also return to the palace, and His Majesty must have been waiting impatiently."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off," the white-robed national teacher said immediately.
Li Qingning sneered inwardly. The national teacher said "respectfully", but she clearly didn't even turn around. She couldn't bear such a "respectfully".
With such a person sitting in the position of national teacher, how can Li Zaiyu feel at ease?
The national treasury has been almost empty these years, and I don't know how much money was spent on the Tianshitai.
Li Qingning went downstairs with the gold plate, stepped on the footstool and sat in the carriage. She looked down at the cracked listening pearl on the plate, and frowned and looked up at the viewing platform.
The little boy standing under the carriage presented a piece of Lingluo brocade with both hands, and whispered: "Your Highness, use this cloth to cover the hexagram beads."
Li Qingning pinched a corner of the Lingluo brocade, put it on the Tingtao beads, and said calmly: "Go back to the palace."
The two monks who had been waiting at the bottom of the building for a long time looked at each other and said, "Yes."
All the way was unimpeded, and when they reached the palace gate, they changed their chariots and went all the way to Yuanzheng Hall.
The two monks were waiting outside the door, and Li Qingning stepped across the threshold holding the Tingtao beads, she walked forward slowly, paused, bowed slightly, "Chenmei has brought the Gua beads back. "
Li Zaiyu opened his eyes slightly, stood up suddenly with his hands on the table, his face was full of joy, and after thinking twice, he carefully asked two words: "How?"
The corners of Li Qingning's lips raised slightly, she seemed to be smiling but she wasn't smiling, what Li Zaiyu wanted was Long Zi, if a girl came suddenly, he might panic.
She held the gold plate high, walked up to Li Zaiyu with lowered eyes, presented the gold plate in front of him, and said indifferently: "Emperor brother, let's see."
The Lingluo brocade on the gold plate was lifted, and then the Tingtao beads were also pinched.
Li Qingning put down the tray and stepped back a little, her eyes were so indifferent that there was no trace of joy, which was completely different from Li Zaiyu's ecstatic look.
Seeing Li Zaiyu sinking to the bottom like a boulder, he let out a big breath, sat back slowly, raised the Tingtao Pearl to his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time.
The corners of his mouth opened wider and wider. After looking carefully, he retracted his five fingers, wrapped the Tingtao Bead in his palm, and said with a smile: "Reward, I want to reward you from the Tianshitai, Ning'er, I want to reward you too."
In the past ten years, Li Qingning hadn't heard Li Zaiyu call her like that for a long time. Although the word was intimate, it was still cold when it was uttered from his mouth and heard by her.
Li Zaiyu is not a person who thinks about love, Li Qingning has always been very clear.
After bowing to thank her, Li Qingning went back to Yangning Palace, and asked Fangxin to order someone to clean the bathing pool and then boil the hot water.
It was night, news came from the palace that the second prince Li Wuyin had already left the palace.
Li Qingning poured a cup of hot tea, and suddenly heard rustling sounds from outside the window, she propped up the window lattice, and saw a paper crane flying in, turning into ashes at her fingertips.
With all five fingers together, she took all the ashes into her palm, walked back to the table and slowly opened her palm, causing the ashes to fall on the table.
The cup of hot tea that was poured out just now was poured on the ashes, and the dust and ash gathered together and condensed into a few words——
"People have left the city."
In just a moment, the condensed dust scattered again and fell to the ground along the edge of the table along with the tea.
The "person" referred to naturally was Li Wuyin, so there was no need to think too much about it, it was Li Wuyin who led the soldiers and doctors out of the city and rushed to Wuli Town overnight.
Finally out of town.
Li Qingning patted her palms, and finally exhaled slowly.
She brought the teacup to her lips, and took a sip of the remaining tea in the teacup, and the tense shoulders and neck finally relaxed a little.
I don't know what's wrong with Xian Yu, I don't know if there will be any damage if I leave the mirror so rashly.
The national teacher must have noticed that there was something wrong with the mirror pinned to her waist, and when she threw out Tingtao beads, she deliberately controlled the water and shot down her mirror.
Fortunately, fortunately, Xian Yu left before the mirror shattered.
"Fangxin." Li Qingning suddenly raised her voice.
Fang Xin pushed open the door and walked in, seeing that her master's expression was wrong, she said in a low voice: "Fang Xin is here."
"Has Xian Yuelu been sent to Renyi Palace?" Li Qingning asked.
Fang Xin quickly replied: "It's delivered, Concubine Ning is very happy."
"Happiness?" Li Qingning lowered her eyes, muttered these two words in a low voice, and asked again: "What else did she say?"
"Not at all." Fangxin paused for a moment, her thin eyebrows frowned slightly, she suddenly came back to her senses, and said again: "But Concubine Ning's maid is a bit weird, she is pulling Concubine Ning's cuff and winking all the time, as if she doesn't want to disturb Ning Concubine. The concubine accepts."
"A court lady, still want the master not to accept her?" Li Qingning said slowly.
Fang Xin nodded, "But Concubine Ning still had someone take Xian Yuelu to the storeroom, and didn't say much."
Li Qingning thought for a moment, if it was true what Xian Yu said, Li Zaiyu should not be able to stay any longer, and she didn't know if Concubine Ning of Renyi Palace had nothing to say, or had nothing to say.
"That's all." She raised her hand and took another sip of her tea.
Fang Xin stood by, thought for a while and said: "Since the second prince has already left the city, then we need to send someone to watch over him."
Li Qingning said indifferently: "Of course we have to keep an eye on it."
"Yes." Fang Xin replied, "Your Highness, the water is ready."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, stood up and said, "The bath pan is ready."
Fang Xin turned her head and asked, "Which box of bath soap will your Highness use today?"
Li Qing Ningsi and Xian Yu's amorous peach blossom-like eyes seemed to be scratched by a magpie's feather, and they said expressionlessly: "Let's bathe the pancreas with peach blossoms."
"Yes." Fang Xin replied, and hurriedly prepared the bath pan for His Royal Highness.
Li Qing condensed into the water, leaned against the wall of the pool and closed his eyes tightly.
The water temperature is just right, the bath pan is sent by Pinxiangfang, and it smells like peach blossoms.The peach blossoms are charming, but the fragrance is not too sweet, it is fragrant and elegant, just like that person, soft but seductive.
This bathing pool in Yangning Palace is not as good as the one she soaked in when she pretended to use the marrow dew, it is a bit narrow and not very luxurious.
The water mist filled the face, and the fragrance of the bath pancreas seemed to blend with the water mist, and the water mist was full of peach blossom fragrance.
She was drowsy, and she seemed to hear the sound of water entering in a trance.
Ben was leaning against the edge of the pool, and when he lost his mind, he didn't know why he was in the middle of the pool.
Turning around following the sound, I saw the man in red approaching her in the water. The man walked very slowly, and as he walked, water ripples came towards her.
The man's red clothes were mostly wet, and his waist was buried in the water. The thin cloth was tightly attached to his waist, making his flexible waist even more slender.
Perhaps it was because the red dress was too flimsy, and after soaking in water, a plain white complexion was faintly revealed.
Through the water, the waist and legs are all visible...shocking.
It was Li Qingning's heart that was shocked.
She heard the man in red ask her why she had such a cold face, she had nothing to say, her heart was already ebbing like a tide, but her face was still as cold as ice.
The man in red stuck to her back, which was as soft as the water in this pool.
It was soft and warm, and the hands were still clinging tightly to her waist, like vines that couldn't grow without her.
The man also slightly bent his knees, pressed against her legs, and slowly rubbed against her, clearly trying to wear down her patience to the point where it was not left.
This person is provocative, clearly provocative.
She didn't say a word, but felt a heavy weight on her shoulders, the other party put her sharp chin up, and even scooped up water to pour on her shoulders.
The warm water slid down her shoulders, eroding an inch of her patience with every inch it trickled down.
She couldn't hear what the body man said later, but felt that the person who was pressing against her back seemed to be hotter than the water in the pool, and it was so hot that there was not even an inch of intact skin left on her back.
She didn't want to bear it anymore, she turned around and pinched the man in red's chin which was resting on her shoulders, and saw that man's thin red lips opened and closed again, but what the man in red said was no longer important.
Those lips were clearly hooking her to bite.
She suddenly pressed the man against the wall of the pool, thinking about how the man touched the back of her leg with his knee just now, she said in a calm voice, "Could it be that you want to use your knee?"
The man in red frowned slightly in pain when he was pressed against the wall of the pool, and after taking a quick breath, he laughed again, "Your Highness just didn't move, do you like it very much?"
She pressed the man's left knee, the knee bone was thin and thin, as soft as fat.
"You'll know if you try it." She leaned close to the man's ear and said every word in a cold voice.
After finishing speaking, Li Qingning clearly felt that she had bent her knees and was actually pushing towards the man in red.
Through the water-soaked thin dress, she stared straight at the man's eyes that were gradually turning red, and said slowly, "That's the only way?"
The man in red bit his lower lip slightly, raised his eyebrows provocatively and said, "Is His Highness's hand useless?"
Hearing this, her eyes darkened, and she slowly lowered her hand, but it was still through the cloth.
Although the material is soft, it is still much rougher than your hands.
After a while, the man in red slowly slid down the pool wall, his shoulders and neck buried in the water.
She wrapped her arms around the waist of the man in red and lifted him up, her eyes darkened immediately, and she tossed him until he couldn't cry.
The water is getting cooler, and the autumn wind is blowing from a distance.
Li Qingning, who was leaning against the pool wall, opened her eyes suddenly, and suddenly realized that she had just dreamed about the events of her previous life.
She came out of the pool, changed her clothes, and walked along the corridor to the dormitory. Instead of letting Fangxin enter the room to wait on her, she dried her long hair by herself.
Her hair was half-dried but she still didn't move. It's not that she didn't recover from the dream just now, but she was sitting in front of the mirror and waiting for the person whose eyes were red from crying in her dream.
Sure enough, not long after, the thick fog on the bronze mirror in front of him dispersed, and a figure approached from a distance, it was Xian Yu.
As soon as Xian Yu cleared the fog, she saw Li Qingning sitting in front of the mirror stand. She was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Qingning carefully for a long time, and then said: "Then the national teacher will make things difficult for you later?"
Li Qingning felt relieved when she saw that the person in the mirror was safe, "No."
"The national teacher must have noticed that I was hiding in the mirror, so he shot down the holding mirror on purpose." Xian Yu gritted his teeth.
She chatted with Bai Tu, and she was sure that the national teacher had a lot of scheming, maybe he coveted not only the dragon's veins, but also Dongzhou's national fortune, otherwise why Dongzhou has been in the hands of Li Zaiyu since the first emperor Even worse.
She naturally wanted to say this to Li Qingning, but when she was about to speak, the person in front of the mirror turned her head away without a trace, and her eyes seemed to flicker.
It's too rare for Li Qingning to look like this, she only shows such an expression occasionally when she makes her feel ashamed when she teases her.
Xian Yu was taken aback for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips and said, "Why doesn't Your Highness look at me? It's because I'm old and decrepit, don't you look good?"
Li Qingning's forehead twitched, and she didn't know where this person learned "old and decrepit", she pressed her lips tightly together, "If you are old, wouldn't I..."
Xian Yu was delighted, "Could it be that Your Highness thinks I'm too old, but I'm actually not that old. If I hadn't eaten the Bisheng flower, I would be only ten years younger than Your Highness."
Li Qingning: ...
Seeing that she had even closed her eyes, Xian Yu spoke even more vigorously, "Your Highness, don't panic, the two lives add up, we are not young anymore."
Not only that, Li Qingning took a deep breath, thinking of the scene she dreamed about in the bath just now, and felt that she was simply disrespectful.
No, why add it up?The previous life is the previous life, and the present life is the present life, how can they add up.
Xian Yu saw that Li Qingning's complexion changed again and again, and laughed in the mirror, "Forget it, this time I'm here to talk to His Highness about something serious."
Only then did Li Qingning look at the person in the mirror, and thought, so this person also knew that he was not serious before.
Only then did Xian Yu say: "Then the national teacher is really the one who harmed me in the previous life. I don't know if His Highness is aware of the fact that he sucks luck?"
"Yes." Li Qingning frowned.
Xian Yu told her what Bai Tu had said to her again, and then said: "The national teacher must have moved the dragon's veins. What he lacks is not so much glory and wealth, but luck, it is the luck of the country."
Li Qingning's face darkened when she heard the words, she had naturally thought about it, but it was only through Xian Yu's mouth that it made her firm in her thoughts.
Why have there been many natural disasters in Dongzhou these years, why the number of refugees has only increased, and why the people have frequently complained of suffering.
Xian Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't know how the second prince is doing now."
"The disaster relief has gone." Li Qing said coldly.
Xian Yu nodded slightly, "The second prince cannot stay."
"Of course we can't stay." Li Qingning said with downcast eyes.
Xian Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were very bright, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
She didn't know how to ask Li Qingning for the Danyin Remnant Scroll, thinking that Li Qingning would definitely not give it, but she had to.
Seeing that she was silent, Li Qingning frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Xian Yu let out a muffled cough, looked away and said, "Just now His Highness refused to look at me directly. Could it be that he dreamed about his past life again, or did some disrespectful things in his dream again?"
Li Qingning couldn't help holding her breath, although her face was still cold, her pupils trembled invisibly.
Xian Yu faltered and said again: "Could it be that I was right? Your Highness is very dishonest. He always dreams and doesn't tell me. Speaking of it, if you go to some places you have been to in your previous life, and do some things you have done in your previous life Things, maybe I can recall more."
Li Qingning: ...
Xian Yu looked back, the light in his eyes was as soft as water, "If Your Highness wants to, I will do my best to cooperate, but I have to exchange one thing."
Li Qingning choked up and asked, "What is it?"
"Danyin remnants." Xian Yu faltered.
The next moment, the bronze mirror was flipped back onto the table again.
Xian Yu gritted his teeth and chiseled his teeth. If he really couldn't show weakness, he had to be tougher.
She looked at the pitch-black area in front of the mirror, and snorted coldly, "I'll meet Concubine Ning tonight, so I won't say much to Your Highness. Don't stop me, Concubine Ning is not a good person, and I won't be merciful." .”
It took a long time for Li Qingning to stand up the bronze mirror, only to see that the thick fog had cleared away.
Her forehead twitched, she just felt a headache, she didn't know how to meet Concubine Ning that desperately.
In the Palace of Renyi, Concubine Ning really didn't have nothing to say, but she had nothing to say.
She was sitting in the house with her stomach covered, and her personal maid stood beside her. She looked sleepy, and she was obviously happy when receiving the gift, but now the blood on her lower face has faded, and even the color of her lips has turned white.
"Why did His Royal Highness send Xian Yuelu?" Concubine Ning's thin body was trembling, she wanted to pick up the teacup, but her hands were shaking, she shook out the hot tea in the teacup, and scalded her fingertips caught.
The maid did not dare to speak, and her face turned pale.
Concubine Ning turned around abruptly, and grabbed the hands covering her lower abdomen to the hands of the maid, her pupils trembled suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the eldest princess knows something?"
"Your Majesty, when the Second Highness came down, no one saw it, so how did the Eldest Princess know?" The servant girl was caught by her hands suddenly, unable to break free, she could only stiffen her body and said.
"Yes." Concubine Ning's eyes flickered, "How did she know that?"
The maid lowered her voice and said, "Perhaps the eldest princess just happened to give Xian Yuelu to the empress."
Concubine Ning breathed a sigh of relief, opened her mouth and inhaled, "It would be fine if it was just a coincidence, now that Wu Yin has just left the palace, if His Majesty finds out about this, he will definitely not be allowed to come back safely..."
"Your Majesty is worrying too much, how could Your Majesty know." The maid said hastily.
Concubine Ning shook her head, "He can't die."
"The second prince is auspicious, and he will come back safely." The maid said again.
Concubine Ning was dizzy, she raised her hand and pressed her forehead, "Last time regarding the matter of Yixiang, the Eldest Princess wanted to search the Renyi Palace, but Wuji blocked it, but fortunately only two palace people died later."
"The second prince will definitely not let the empress do anything." The maid hurriedly said again.
"At that time, the eldest princess must have become suspicious, she must have known about it." Concubine Ning closed her eyes and sat on the drum stool, precariously.
The maid hurriedly pulled out the hand that was tightly held by her, supported her shoulder and said: "That matter is over, the empress don't think about it anymore."
"How can I not think about this, you know how miserable those two people were when they died." Concubine Ning's voice was soft, but she paused every word.
She changed her voice and said again: "Who doesn't know that Mr. Cheng once bought a hundred cups of Xianyuelu for his daughter, and later the daughter of the Cheng family did such a scandal and was kicked out of the house by Mr. Cheng, and gave away all the hundred cups of Xianyuelu people."
The maid pursed her lips and said nothing, her hands were tightly on Concubine Ning's shoulders.
Concubine Ning said again: "Perhaps the Xian Yuelu from the eldest princess was given by Master Cheng."
Her eyes widened again, and she said in horror: "She must know!"
"Your Majesty!" The maid was sweating anxiously, "No, the Eldest Princess will not know, Your Majesty will be fine, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince will return to the palace safely."
Concubine Ning shook her head, but she was too tired to say a word.
The maid took a deep breath, "Your Majesty is tired, it's better to rest earlier."
Concubine Ning then said: "Yes, I am tired."
She stood up unsteadily, protected her abdomen, and let the personal maid help her to the edge of the couch, resting the back of her head on the pillow, and fell asleep after a while.
In the dream, she vaguely saw a woman in red waving at her from a distance, but she hurriedly approached but couldn't see the woman's face clearly.
In the dream, the woman in red said softly, "You know you are guilty."
Concubine Ning was shocked, "No, I don't know."
"But you are guilty of a serious crime." The man in red said meaningfully.
Concubine Ning subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, "I am not guilty."
"If you're not guilty, then why are you panicking." The man in red laughed.
"Who are you?" Concubine Ning staggered back a few steps, looking at the people in the distance and asked in a trembling voice.
The man in red said meaningfully: "This seat is an evil spirit, and I am looking for a substitute for the deceased. Just look at my red dress. The reason why I am so bright red is naturally because I was stained with the blood of thousands of people, but this seat is only kill the guilty."
"How can you say that people are guilty?" Concubine Ning stared wide-eyed.
When the man in red took a step closer, she took a step back.
Concubine Ning was forced to the point of collapse, her cheeks were already full of tears.
The man in red was like strolling in the courtyard, he really looked like an evil ghost, she said slowly: "The child in your womb is the son of the second prince? You are in the palace, but you did such a nasty thing It is one crime to be unfaithful, one crime to deceive the emperor, one crime to attempt to murder the current sage, and one crime to blame innocent people."
The man in red paused, and said again: "You know that the second prince intends to usurp the throne, but if you don't report it, it's another crime."
Concubine Ning immediately knelt down protecting her lower abdomen, kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, please forgive me."
"I forgive you, but who will forgive the palace servants who died for no reason? Do you know how terribly those two people cried before they were beaten to death? They also shouted for mercy, but you, my lady, in Renyi Palace It was a pleasant stay." The man in red stopped in front of her, and said slowly with his eyes downcast.
"Besides, not only those two people, but also their family was executed. Madam, you felt half guilty at that time." The man in red said again.
Concubine Ning knelt on the ground, and saw that the pair of embroidered shoes of the man in red was also red as if stained with blood, the white ankle bones on the top of the shoes could not be easily broken, and the top was covered by the red skirt.
"I'm guilty, I'm guilty!" Concubine Ning said quickly.
The man in red chuckled, "Could it be that you think that after the Second Prince ascends the throne, the Queen's position belongs to you."
Concubine Ning trembled all over, and kowtowed her head suddenly after her thoughts were revealed, "I am indeed convicted!"
"It's been a long time since the imperial medical office diagnosed you to be pregnant with this child, but the emperor hasn't asked about it yet. The imperial medical office also doesn't know when the emperor has been to the Renyi Palace. If the emperor finds out, you and the second prince who is on the way to rescue the disaster will be separated." I'm dead." The man in red said calmly.
"Then, what should I do, I beg the Great Immortal to save me." Concubine Ning was crying out of breath.
The man in red said: "This seat has a plan. You just need to buy the imperial medical office. No matter what the emperor asks at that time, he won't be able to detect any abnormalities."
The doors and windows were rumbled by the wind. Concubine Ning woke up suddenly, and suddenly found that the cloth pillow was soaked, and she stared at her eyes for a long time without returning to her senses.
She murmured: "Wujian can't die, Wujian absolutely can't die."
Early the next morning, Concubine Ning could not be found inside or outside Renyi Palace.
When Li Qingning heard about this, she frowned slightly, "I really can't find it?"
Fang Xin whispered to the side: "I heard that I couldn't find anyone early in the morning, and I don't know whether it was missing last night or this morning."
Li Qingning recalled what Xianyu said in the mirror yesterday, she pinned the emerald jade on her hair, and said slowly, "Go and see."
When the walking chariot was about to arrive at the Renyi Palace, she saw that Li Zaiyu's chariot was also there.
In the yard, Li Zaiyu was furious, "Look, if you can't find anyone, you will all lose your life!"
A group of palace people lowered their heads and huddled in response, turned around and scattered around, looking for it without a clue.
Li Qingning walked in, frowned and said, "Brother Huang."
Li Zaiyu sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
After a long time, a person in the distance knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, there seems to be someone in the well."
Hearing this, Li Zaiyu quickly walked towards the stone well, he seemed about to faint just by looking into the well.
Li Qingning looked up, turned her head and whispered to Fangxin: "Go and invite the people from the Imperial Medical Office, and let them tell everything they know."
"Yes." Fang Xin said in a deep voice.
Li Zaiyu shouted in the distance: "Fill, fish it for me!"
A guard clasped his fists in response, tied the rope around his waist, and jumped down from the mouth of the well.
After a while, the people in the water were fished out.
Concubine Ning's whole body had been soaked in water and her lips were pale.
People are gone.
Li Qingning knew it with just one glance, after all Concubine Ning was completely cold and her body was already stiff.
Li Zaiyu was so angry that he almost fainted, and he managed to stand still by supporting the body of the eunuch beside him.
The surrounding maids took a step back, their eyes widened, while Concubine Ning's personal maid was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
"Sister Chen has invited the imperial physician over." Li Qing said coldly.
Li Zaiyu nodded slightly, looked at Concubine Ning's close maid, and said angrily, "Is this how you take care of the master?!"
The palace maid dared not say anything, she knelt on the ground shaking like a sieve.
Under Li Zaiyu's scolding, she broke out in a cold sweat, told half of what happened last night, and kept swallowing.
"Other than that?" Li Zaiyu asked sharply again.
The maid kept shaking her head, pursed her lips and said nothing more.
"If you conceal anything, you will pay for Concubine Ning's life!" Li Zaiyu exclaimed.
Concubine Ning's close maid was trembling, and she could barely finish her sentence, "Slave, slave girl, I must, must not dare to say half a sentence, half a lie."
After a while, the doctor who took Concubine Ning's pulse rushed over, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the empress lying on the ground.
The doctor fully explained the pulse condition diagnosed that day, he secretly glanced at Fang Xin, and said cautiously: "Concubine Ning is pregnant, it has been... for more than two months."
Li Zaiyu's eyes went dark, and he fell on the old eunuch who was supporting him.

In the vermilion palace wall, there was a sound of sobbing.
The doctor kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw the eunuch who was supporting Li Zaiyu, his eyes were red with anxiety, he quickly waved his hands and said, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come and see for Your Majesty!"
The doctor quickly stood up, brushed the hem of his clothes and walked over, carefully raised Li Zaiyu's eyelids, and said again: "I have offended you."
"Quick!" The eunuch sighed and shouted again.
The doctor had no choice but to pinch Li Zaiyu's cheeks in one go, forcing him to open his mouth so that he could see the situation in his mouth clearly.
He held up Li Zaiyu's wrist, put his fingers on it again, and after a while, he backed up a little, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness/Weakness, coupled with anger, just fainted for a while."
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was relieved, his heart raised his throat again.
I saw the maidservants kneeling in the distance shaking their bodies tremblingly and lowering their heads, as if they were waiting for the sentence to be pronounced.
"Today, today..." Too
