After shouting for a long time, a eunuch who knew how to swim passed by and jumped into the lake to rescue Duan Qinglian. She was not breathing when she was rescued. Li Yunli knew that she was choking on water, but he didn't know what to do.

He could only press and slap her mouth. After struggling for a long time, Duan Qinglian actually coughed out. It's a pity that since then, her already weak head has become even more stupid. But, that’s another story.

After Li Yunli sent Duan Qinglian to Lord Duan and changed into clean clothes, he heard the news that the prince was in danger of being poisoned and that the fifth prince was the reincarnation of a bad boy.

"Oh! You didn't see the horrific scene at that time. His Royal Highness vomited black blood all over his body and walked out of the house. The fifth prince was holding a dead cat with a stone next to it. That cat His face was smashed, it was really scary to look at.”

"If you ask me, there is indeed something strange about the fifth prince. Since he was born, the fourth prince has disappeared first, and then the following princes have disappeared. Now His Highness the Crown Prince has been poisoned again. Is it the next one's turn? The third prince."

"Don't forget, there is a second prince in the princess's palace."

"Originally, it was said that the second prince had a hard life. He was raised in the cold palace when he was young, and was raised in the princess's mansion when he grew up. He has no father-son relationship with the emperor at all. Now it seems that living in the princess's mansion may not be a bad thing."

"Don't mention it. Didn't the second prince meet bad guys when he went out in a carriage that year? It was just the eldest princess's son who saved him. And the consort Pei Yi, too..."

"Now, it depends on what the emperor thinks. Whether it is one son, Prince Bao, the fifth prince, or three sons: Prince Bao, the second prince, and the third prince."

Li Yunli felt cold all over. If Duan Qinglian hadn't taken him out of the yard, he would have been called the evil boy now.

Thinking of Duan Qinglian's cruel expression when she hit the cat with a stone, Li Yunli not only didn't feel scared, but felt happy for a while.

He was too naive, thinking that he could live peacefully in the palace without fighting or grabbing. In contrast, Duan Qinglian, a little concubine, understood the way to survive far better than he did.

After one night, no one in the palace dared to mention anything about the fifth prince. After the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial physician, the prince finally saved his life. But according to the palace people, the prince's foundation was damaged by the poisoning. Not only will he not be able to have children in the future, but whether he can live to the age of thirty-five depends on fate.

Concubine Chen finally summoned her son, who had been neglected, and looked at his appearance, which was very similar to hers, and finally chuckled:

"I was wrong before. I didn't expect you to be the most ambitious among them."

Li Yunli raised his head and looked at his mother-in-law for the first time in his life. After a moment, he showed a proud smile and said slowly:

"From now on, I have to trouble my mother and concubine to tolerate my stupid son."

No one expected that after a calculation, Li Yunli would become the final winner. The emperor now only has three sons left. The prince is dying soon, and the second prince has no feelings for him at all.

Li Yunli was the only one who could stay by his side and call him "Father". Since then, a rumor has spread in the palace that the third prince is the daughter of the emperor's most beloved concubine Chen. The emperor loved Wujiwu very much, and he also loved his son very much.

More than a year passed before Li Yunli saw Duan Qinglian again at the palace banquet. She seemed a lot duller than before. But when they were alone, Duan Qinglian had a sly look on her face:

"Brother Yunli, I haven't read any books and don't understand etiquette and morality. I only know that if someone is destined to die, I don't want that person to be you."

After saying that, Li Yunli smiled at Xu Shihuan and said seriously:

"For the third prince, there are countless girls who want to be with him. But for Li Yunli, at his most important moment, there is only Duan Qinglian by his side. Qinglian is the one who makes the decision today, so please don't let it go. In my heart.”

Xu Shihuan also smiled back and said:

"Third Prince, I think maybe we can talk about other things, such as..."

Outside the private room, Duan Qinglian could not sit still. She knew that what she did today was to push Li Yunli away from her. But in the final analysis, this matter has more benefits.

Duan Qinglian has known since she was a child that Li Yunli has no interest in the throne. If possible, he would be willing to be an idle prince and live a leisurely life with himself.

But the problem is, the emperor will not believe this, and Li Yunfeng will not believe it. If Li Yunli didn't fight for it, he would probably die in an unknown manner like the fourth and fifth princes in the past.

Duan Qinglian couldn't help Li Yunli in the matter of seizing the direct descendant, and it would also bring him a lot of trouble. She only asked Xu Shihuan to tolerate her. When Li Yunli ascended the throne, Xu Shihuan could be the mother of the world, and she could have enough food and clothing.

Even though Duan Qinglian had been persuading herself, her eyes were still red when she saw Xu Shihuan and Li Yunli talking and laughing when they came out.

Seeing her like this, Xu Shihuan thought to himself:

"A good one who is both responsible and established."

But thinking that she had just formed an alliance with Li Yunli, she still wanted to give these two people face, so she put on an expression of watching the fun and said with a smile:

"Why don't you go over and coax her? It doesn't matter if Qinglian gets angry and ignores you and me."

Hearing this, Duan Qinglian suddenly raised her head, with surprise on her face. Then, she heard the news that made her sad and happy:

"Don't be sad. Nothing happened to Xu Shihuan and I. I'll send her out first, and I'll tell you the details later."

Li Yunli comforted Duan Qinglian while making an inviting gesture towards Xu Shihuan. Xu Shihuan instantly understood what he meant and didn't stay long. With the two people's confused attitude, she was afraid of getting needles if she stayed there for a long time.

"You mean, Duan Qinglian wants Li Yunli to marry you, but Li Yunli has no such intention and wants to form an alliance with you instead?"

When Wen Yidi heard what Xu Shihuan said about what happened today, his face was full of disbelief. He thought for a long time before speaking:

"I have dealt with the Third Prince several times before. Although he has a bad reputation in recent years, he doesn't feel that ridiculous in private."

What Wen Yidi didn't say was that Li Yunli didn't attach much importance to family background. He had previously established a relationship with Li Yunli through Duan Qinglian's affairs, and it was precisely because of this that he liked him.

Wen Yidi just didn't expect that Li Yunli would tell Xu Shihuan everything he had never known despite all the effort. Sure enough, with the blessing of identity, no matter what you do, it will be much easier.

That was not what Xu Shihuan was thinking about. She suddenly realized that she had unknowingly embarked on the path chosen by Wen Yidi in the storybook.

But all this went too smoothly.
