Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Gu Qingqiu nodded slowly: "Mr. Laozhuang is here."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the secret door.

Leaving Chu Yunyi stunned in place, he muttered: "Why? Why?"

Seeing his dull eyes, Gu Qingqiu smiled: "Your Highness, you forced Qingqiu to become what he is now."

"If it weren't for Xu Qingqing, if it weren't for your cruelty..." Gu Qingqiu sighed quietly, "I might still be that stupid woman who only knows how to rely on you!"

"Thanks to Your Highness, you and Xu Qingqing." Gu Qingqiu said with a smile, "I can become like this!"

After saying that, Gu Qingqiu strode into the secret door.

As the secret door was closed, Chu Yunyi's mournful expression changed, and the expression on his face became gentle again, looking no different from usual.

Seeing Chu Yunyi's changes, Ban Xia felt secretly uneasy.

Gu Qingqiu's method of using puppet Gu became more and more powerful.

……

In the Taiji Hall at that time, the emperor took a deep breath of the fragrance in the hall, and felt that even Li Dehai, who had a wrinkled face, became more beautiful.

"It is indeed the Rejuvenation Pill refined by Daoist Chen." The emperor smiled, "Whenever you open the medicine box, there will always be the fragrance of Rejuvenation Pill in the hall. If Daoist Chen said that this medicinal material is precious and cannot be refined every day, I will definitely use it every day." Take them all!"

Li Dehai complimented: "Your Majesty, your eyesight is naturally the best! If you hadn't discovered Daochang Chen, the servants wouldn't even know that there are such strange people as Daochang Chen in this world!"

Hearing this, the emperor only felt comfortable physically and mentally.

He stroked his beard with a smile, and said quietly: "Indeed, if I hadn't discovered him for a talent like Daoist Chen, I'm afraid he would die of old age in the mountains."

However, after the emperor thought about the medicinal materials, the smile that had just appeared on his face disappeared again.

"The actions of the household department are too slow. I am the emperor, so what kind of medicinal materials do I want? They keep pushing the door, and they are not even willing to take money from the treasury to buy medicinal materials!"

"There are also those herb collectors who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they dare not even go to collect herbs!" The emperor snorted coldly, "Tell Zheng Li, no matter what method is used, let those herb collectors go The medicinal materials I need are back! Otherwise, the lives of their family... don't even want it!"

It was said that the folds between Li Dehai's eyebrows could almost kill a mosquito.

The emperor's request is really dehumanizing.

The national treasury was already empty. After several drafts, coupled with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the drought in Qingzhou and other places, the household department had already written several papers, and those imperial officials all advised the emperor not to be so profligate. However, the emperor Just won't listen.

Right now, the national treasury is empty, and the income cannot be spent. The emperor wants to purchase rare medicinal materials. These medicinal materials are all expensive. The rare medicinal materials were almost looted, so the emperor could only focus on the folk herb collectors.

Those herb pickers wandering among the mountains, lakes and seas naturally have a lot of treasures.

The emperor has been in a high position for a long time, so how would he know that these herb collectors are poor, in order to support their families, not to mention hiding rare medicinal materials at home, even if they are as big as a little finger, they would like to dig them up for money .

The emperor thought he was right, and forced the Ministry of Household Affairs to send people to loot all the medicinal materials in the homes of these herb collectors, leaving only a little money. After hearing the news, the people were already full of complaints.

But now, the emperor still wants to force the herb collectors to go up the mountain, this is really...

Li Dehai's heart trembled, this is really a sign of subjugation!

However, Li Dehai had to listen to the emperor's orders.

He didn't even dare to persuade him. After the emperor ordered this matter, he immediately found Zheng Li and explained the matter from beginning to end.

Zheng Li also came from a poor family, and he knew how hard it is for a herb picker, especially when he learned that the emperor's methods were so insidious, his face turned red with anger. people!

"I can't do such a thing." Zheng Li replied bluntly with a cold face.

Hearing this, Li Dehai sighed: "You don't have to rush to refuse..."

"Do you really want me to do such an outrageous thing?" Zheng Li couldn't believe it, "Then Huichun Pill..."

"Be quiet!" Li Dehai quickly interrupted Zheng Li, seeing that Zheng Li still wanted to argue with him, he said directly, "You don't have to argue with me here, do you still dare to refuse what the emperor ordered? "

"The current emperor has a bad temper. If you don't want to do this, he can get rid of you and replace you with someone else." Li Dehai said earnestly, "You still have a little bit of respect for those herb pickers." Compassionate heart, in exchange for what other people did to please the emperor, it would be..."

"It's really difficult for me to force them!" Zheng Li held back the anger in his heart, and gritted his teeth, "Such a thing is really not what a gentleman would do!"

"Don't worry." Li Dehai patted him on the shoulder, "Before you leave Beijing, go to Pei's house and ask General Pei what to do. General Pei will definitely give you a good solution."

Since the Pei family chose to ask Chen Daochang to offer the Rejuvenation Pill, they must have thought of the emperor's behavior, and they must have prepared a countermeasure!

Hearing this, Zheng Li's eyes lit up.

He nodded vigorously: "I should have thought of it earlier!"

It is absolutely impossible for the Pei family to leave such a hidden danger!

Thinking of this, he strode towards the outside with great strides.

Just as Zheng Li was about to leave the Taiji Hall, there was another burst of screams in the hall.

Li Dehai is used to this, only Zheng Li opened his eyes wide at this time, with a look of anxiety on his face: "The emperor..."

"General Zheng, don't worry. Your majesty is an old problem. You can just take care of it." Li Dehai said hastily.

Hearing Li Dehai's sudden change of words, Zheng Li's body became stiff. Fortunately, under the armor, his body's stiffness was not noticed by others.

Li Dehai seemed to have seen the person behind Zheng Li, and hurriedly bowed: "See the empress dowager!"

Zheng Li also hastily followed Li Dehai to salute: "Mr. Zheng Li, see the empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager was followed by Nanny Lin, and the four of them stood together at the gate of the Tai Chi Hall.

There was one scream in the hall followed by another, and the emperor's ambiguous words.

The Empress Dowager's complexion instantly became ugly: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Li Dehai was a little worried, and he glanced at Zheng Li.

Zheng Li was about to leave knowingly, but the Queen Mother said coldly: "Where is General Zheng going in a hurry?"

"I was ordered to leave the capital." Zheng Li clasped his hands, "This is a task ordered by the emperor, and it is a confidential task. Please forgive me for not being able to answer, Empress Dowager!"

The queen mother squinted a pair of shrewd eyes, and looked at Zheng Li coldly: "If General Zheng leaves the capital, who will protect the emperor?"

"Master Xie has high martial arts skills and the ability to lead troops, so it is natural that Mr. Xie will take over." Zheng Li replied with a straight look.

However, upon hearing the candidate's name, the Empress Dowager's complexion was not very good-looking.

Thank you!

The queen mother thought of this name in her heart, and her face became more and more gloomy: "Xie Yan has a very close relationship with the Pei family. If Xie Yan personally protects the emperor, in case there is something wrong with the Pei family..."

"General Pei is loyal to the emperor, so he will not do such a thing." Zheng Li replied firmly, "I'm afraid the empress dowager is just worrying too much."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager sneered: "Thinking of treason will not be written on your face!"

She gritted her teeth and was about to walk in: "You stay here for now, Aijia wants to discuss this matter carefully with the emperor, without Aijia's permission, you are not allowed to leave the capital!"

The empress dowager was originally thinking about the emperor, but when her words clearly fell into the emperor's ears, the emperor felt threatened.

He had just seen the late emperor again, and the soul of the late emperor stared at him more and more day by day, and he even felt from the bottom of his heart - the soul in front of him might be a real person!

Once he thought of this, he couldn't stop being afraid.

Back then, the person he feared the most was the first emperor!

At this time, the Tai Chi Hall was quiet again. The emperor looked at the empty hall, swallowed, and stood up slowly.

Can't wait any longer!

The emperor's eyes were half terrified and half cruel: "If we continue to wait like this, sooner or later... I will be killed!"

He murmured these words, and from the corner of his eye, he saw the Queen Mother hurried in.

"Emperor!" The Empress Dowager looked at the cold sweat on his face, her face darkened suddenly, she pinched the Emperor's shoulder, and asked eagerly, "What did you see? Could it be that you have another nightmare?"

Hearing this, the emperor shook his head slowly.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, the Empress Dowager thought it was not serious, and expressed her worries all at once: "Xie Yan has a close relationship with the Pei family, let him be the personal guard, the Ai family can't worry about it!"

"Although Zheng Li is a bit rigid, he is loyal to you. Why don't you ask Xie Yan to do that for you, and let Zheng Li stay to protect you."

Although the queen mother spoke for discussion, her tone was very blunt, as if she was ordering the emperor.

The emperor's restless heart became more and more bored because of the behavior of the empress dowager. His eyes were stern, and he suddenly raised his head, staring at the empress dowager coldly.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager's heart sank: "Emperor, what do you mean?"

"Empress, I saw the ghost of my father again." The emperor said quietly, "My father has been haunting me all this time! Does he still remember what happened back then?"

"But you fed the poison back then with your own hands, why did the emperor want to pester me?"

The emperor's words made the queen mother instantly forget what she wanted to say.

The queen mother at this time inevitably recalled that rainy night back then.

And... and that hideous figure from before.

The queen mother shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "Emperor, what are you talking nonsense? Didn't Daochang Chen say that he has suppressed that soul..."

"Chen Daochang said that the resentment on the father's body is too heavy, and has already broken through the suppression." The emperor's light words made the queen mother subconsciously take a step back.

At this moment, the scene in front of the mother and son was turned upside down for a while, and they looked terrified, watching the Tai Chi Hall change to what it was 20 years ago.

The soul of the first emperor was particularly tall. He stood in front of the two of them and stared at them.

Seeing this, half of the three souls and seven souls of the Queen Mother flew away, and she shivered and fell to the ground, pointing at the souls, wanting to say something, but in the end she could only scream silently.

It's him!

This soul looked very weak before, but now, the soul that appeared in front of her seemed to be a person!She can even see the shadow reflected in the faint candlelight!

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager became more and more frightened. She wanted to run out of the hall, and shouted: "Nurse Lin! Nurse Lin! Go and invite Daoist Chen here!"

The emperor's condition was not much better than that of the queen mother, he felt wet under his body, and there was a strong smell - he was so scared that he peed.

But under such circumstances, the emperor's eyes could follow the eyes of the first emperor to see the queen mother.

He could clearly see the anger towards the empress dowager in the eyes of the first emperor, which made the emperor more determined in his approach.

"Father!" He knelt down in front of the late emperor, and murmured, "I know I'm wrong! I really know I'm wrong! I will do whatever you want! Give me a little more time. !"

With a "pop", the emperor covered his burning cheeks and looked at Li Dehai who was frightened.

Li Dehai quickly withdrew his hand: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
