Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Liu Yaoyao's face showed a trace of sarcasm: "Luoyang City has been plunged into inexplicable panic because of the Queen's funeral. I am too busy keeping my tail between my legs to behave myself. How could I go and find out what is going on in Luoyang City?"

Liu Yaoyao flicked her hair and looked at Princess An Qing with burning eyes. Just as she was about to continue to mock her back, Yanran suddenly changed her expression and said to her, "Someone came in and noticed the bugs in this palace."

Liu Yaoyao's face suddenly changed, and she immediately asked Princess An Qing: "Is he your man?"

"No, they are the emperor's people." Princess An Qing looked puzzled, "Liu Yaoyao, don't underestimate the emperor."

Liu Yaoyao's eyelids twitched when she heard this. Could it be that the old emperor had found out about her?

"Sister Yaoyao, we have to leave here quickly." Yanran could feel the restlessness of the insects all over the palace. It felt like they had encountered their natural enemies. Her heart was suddenly gripped.

"You're right, we have to leave quickly and not be caught by the emperor." Liu Yaoyao's voice trembled slightly.

She had never taken the emperor seriously and didn't want to be blocked by the emperor here.

She was shocked and ashamed, and then began to suspect that Princess An Qing had informed the emperor.

As if she knew what she was thinking, Princess An Qing said calmly, "Leave through the back door. My people will meet you there."

When Liu Yaoyao heard this, she looked deeply at Princess An Qing, then pulled Yanran away through the back door.

Princess An Qing watched them leave and sat quietly there.

She didn't go out because Yanran's words reminded her.

The palace is full of insects, and she can't control them. If she goes out and gets bitten by an insect by accident, the emperor will not try to save her.

For her own safety, Princess An Qing could only stay in the palace obediently.

A quarter of an hour later, the old and frail emperor appeared in front of her and asked in a calm tone, "Where did that person go?"

Princess An Qing said with a hint of surprise: "Where did you go? Brother, are you confused?"

After saying this, she smiled sarcastically and continued, "I know you are very sad because of the Queen's death. You have been very busy with the Queen's funeral during this period. As your sister, I care about you very much. How could I cause trouble for you at this time?"

Princess An Qing said this and stood up and walked to the emperor. She glanced at his wrinkled face and sighed.

"Brother, you know how the Queen treated me. Now that the Queen is dead, our relationship as siblings can be restored to what it was before. Why are you so entangled? Am I, your sister, not as good as the Queen in your eyes?"

Turning the Buddhist beads in his hand, a hint of coldness flashed across the depths of the emperor's eyes, but his tone was as gentle as before: "An Qing, I put you here to let you reflect on yourself."

"I know." Princess An Qing smiled gently, "But Xu Qinglu is dying. When I heard the news, I understood my brother's true purpose, so I won't do such a thing as reflection. If my brother is unhappy, I can listen to you and pretend."

When she said this, her expression was very arrogant, as if she was certain that the emperor would not ignore her for Xu Qinglu.

The emperor really didn't have such thoughts. He was now paying much attention to other things.

Princess An Qing was just a pawn of his. If the secret guard hadn't reported that someone was coming to see her, the emperor would not have taken the initiative to appear in front of her.

"Xu Qinglu was more honest than you, but she hated me more than you do, so she died."

It was unknown what the emperor was thinking, but he directly told the news of Xu Qinglu's death.

Princess An Qing's heart skipped a beat, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at the emperor.

"Xu Qinglu is Chen Changli's aunt. Did she see Chen Changli before she died?"

Princess An Qing knew that Xu Qinglu had killed the queen with the determination to die, and then she wanted to commit suicide in front of the emperor, because she didn't want to be tortured by the emperor.

The emperor asked the imperial physician to save her because he wanted her to live longer, but he didn't expect that Xu Qinglu would be gone in just a few days.

She suspected that the emperor couldn't get what he wanted from Xu Qinglu, so he watched her death coldly.

But Xu Qinglu is Chen Changli's aunt after all. Although the relationship between the two is not close, the blood relationship cannot be faked.

Did the emperor ever think about Chen Changli's feelings when he watched Xu Qinglu die? Or was Chen Changli really not that important in his heart, so he did not let the imperial physician save Xu Qinglu?

As some thoughts turned to her mind, Princess An Qing couldn't help but feel a chill running up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She exhaled slightly, forced down the frightening chill in her heart, and looked at the emperor with an ambiguous expression.

Facing her doubtful gaze, the emperor said bluntly: "Chen Changli will die sooner or later. In this case, Xu Qinglu's death as a traitor will allow him to live a little longer."

"Didn't you ever think of keeping Chen Changli alive from the beginning?" Princess An Qing took a deep breath.

Although Chen Changli has Xu family blood in his veins, he has lived for more than 30 years without knowing his own identity.

If the emperor wanted to, he could find a way to win over Chen Changli and make him the sharpest knife in his hand, but he didn't expect that the emperor wanted Chen Changli dead from the very beginning.

No wonder when a rebellion broke out in Ping'an Prefecture, the emperor only sent Zhao Yunhui.

When something happened in the western border, he only let the prince lead the troops and didn't want Chen Changli to have any military power at all.

"Royal brother, Chen Changli is just a minister after all. Why do you hate him to this extent?" Princess An Qing said, with some doubts in her heart.

"Chen Changli..." The emperor's eyes were extremely obscure. He was unwilling to use Chen Changli simply because he and the prince were good friends.

In other words, the person he really fears is the prince, but the prince still has half of his blood in him.

Even though he was afraid of the prince, he was happy to hand over something as important as military power to him.

But Chen Changli was not able to do so, because he was indeed a very capable man. Not only was he on good terms with the prince, he also had the blood of the Xu family in his veins.

The emperor was very disgusted and hated the Xu family, and would never want Chen Changli to live a carefree life under his nose.

"The Crown Prince is different from him. I always have a certain degree of tolerance towards the Crown Prince." The emperor said in a light tone, as if he was using these words to remind Princess An Qing.

"The prince is your child. If the military power falls into his hands, you can also take it back in the name of your father."

Princess An Qing understood the emperor's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh.

"But the queen is dead, and the prince cannot come back to mourn. When the prince knows about his biological mother, do you think he will still be willing to regard you as his father?"

"Brother, there has never been any family affection in the royal family. Don't be confused."
