The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

Shen Du believed that the reason why this fairyland appeared was probably because of the spiritual unity of the two people.

As long as both of them are thinking about this place in their hearts, they will definitely appear here.

Cui Lingyi didn't believe it at first.

But after experimenting according to what Shen Du said, I found that it was actually true.

She and Shen Du, no matter who they are, as long as they think of this place in their hearts, they can enter it.

The same principle applies to going out.

However, the location where it appears each time can only be the place where you first enter the wonderland.

The two of them went back and forth several times before returning to the room with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Thinking of what Taoist Master Jinlong had said, asking her and Shen Du to drink spiritual spring water and eat fresh fruits every day, Cui Lingyi did as she was told.

Two more days passed like this.

Suddenly, an imperial decree came from the palace, ordering Shen Du to bring her into the palace.

The one who came to announce the decree was Li Qi.

Cui Lingyi always felt that there was something strange in his eyes.

After receiving the imperial edict, Cui Lingyi hurried forward and stuffed a large silver note into his hand.

"Eunuch, do you know why His Majesty has suddenly summoned me?"

Li Qi stuffed the banknote into his sleeve, glanced at the imperial guards following him, and laughed.

"His Majesty summoning me is naturally a good thing. Madam Duke, don't worry."

Although he said that, his eyes kept blinking.

It looked very wrong.

Cui Lingyi hurriedly asked.

"I wonder if you can explain it clearly, sir, so that I can be prepared. Otherwise, I'm afraid something might go wrong."

Li Qi chuckled.

"His Majesty wants to reward you and Princess Linjiang, so Madam Guogong doesn't have to worry. We still have to go to the Linjiang Palace, so I won't say much."

reward?

It is understandable to let Feng Zhenzhu enter the palace. After all, she saved the people of Northern Frontier. What would be the point of her going there?

Since the founding of Dajing, there has never been a case of the newly married wife of a foreign minister being called to the palace.

So weird.

"My dear, this doesn't seem right! I've never heard of a foreign minister's wife..."

She looked at Shen Du, only to find that he had a sullen face and sinister eyes.

She couldn't help but be shocked.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Can you hear me?"

Shen Du came back to his senses, and his expression instantly changed to sunny.

"Ali, the journey to the palace is long and you are still weak, so don't go."

"Is this okay?" Cui Lingyi was a little worried, "Emperor Wen won't do anything to you!"

The corners of Shen Du's lips curled up in a strange arc.

"He didn't dare."

Cui Lingyi was surprised.

She thought it was because of the gunpowder magic in Shen Du's hands.

This powerful thing made Shen Du fearless, but it also made Emperor Wen uneasy.

But she couldn't understand it. Before gunpowder was available, Emperor Wen had great trust in Shen Du.

Now that we have this thing and Shen Du has protected Dajing, why does Emperor Wen seem like a different person?

He should know that Shen Du was not someone who would threaten his throne.

After watching Shen Du leave, Cui Lingyi was still worried.

After thinking about it, he decided to send Buddha's Hand to the Linjiang Palace to see if Feng Zhenzhu had entered the palace.

As a result, Buddha's Hand turned back as soon as he went out.

Feng Zhenzhu followed behind him.

"Sister Pearl?"

Feng Zhenzhu walked forward and held her hand.

"Thank God you didn't go to the palace."

Cui Lingyi heard something wrong in these words and quickly pulled her into the inner room.

"Sister Pearl, what happened?"

Feng Zhenzhu pursed her lips and spoke after a long while.

"Xie Jin and I should leave Shangjing."

"Leave?" Cui Lingyi was shocked. "I heard from Eunuch Li that His Majesty wants to reward us. What's going on?"

Feng Zhenzhu held it in for a long time before she gritted her teeth and spoke.

"The dog emperor is not a human being. I don't know how he knew that the gunpowder technique was given to Shen Du by me. I also heard that..."

Having said this, she suddenly stopped talking and seemed to be hesitant to continue.

Cui Lingyi didn't understand, "...What did you hear?"

Feng Zhenzhu pursed her lips.

"I don't know who was gossiping in front of the dog emperor, saying that you, Ah Li, are worth more than three thousand beauties in the harem... We were asked to enter the palace this time, ostensibly as a reward, but in reality, both of us will be kept in the harem by Concubine Yun in the name of companionship..."

Cui Lingyi was shocked when she heard this.

"Is this... is this reasonable? Where did you hear this? Could it be that you are mistaken? Emperor Wen was not such a bad person in the past..."

Feng Zhenzhu kept shaking her head.

"People's hearts are fickle, let alone the emperor."

"He already holds the power of the world. He can shake the world with just one stomp of his foot. What he did before was just a show of weakness and hiding his strength."

"Now that the Queen's family has fallen, the King of Yan is dead, the northern border is pacified, and the nations have submitted, what else does the dog emperor have to fear?"

After hearing what Feng Zhenzhu said, Cui Lingyi instantly became nervous.

"So, Shen Du and Xie Jin are in danger when they enter the palace?"

"There is certainly some danger, but the gunpowder technique is in our hands. Emperor Wen doesn't dare to do anything."

Cui Lingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and her mood gradually calmed down.

I really didn't expect that after Feng Zhenzhu gave the gunpowder magic to Shen Du, it actually became a talisman for the four of them.

What Emperor Wen is doing now should be a test.

He wanted to use the imperial power to make Shen Du surrender, but he was afraid that he would not get what he wanted.

"By the way, Sister Zhenzhu, how do you know all this? When Eunuch Li came, I specifically asked him, but because the imperial guards were there, he didn't tell me."

Feng Zhenzhu curled her lips.

"Except you, Xie Jin and I both know about this. It was Shen Du who first discovered it."

"Ah! He found out? How come I didn't know about it?" Cui Lingyi was surprised.

Cui Lingyi rolled her eyes at her.

"Shen Du is unwilling to let you know these dirty things."

The two people were talking while waiting for Shen Du and Xie Jin.

Unexpectedly, this trip would take a whole day.

At first Feng Zhenzhu was relatively calm, but later she could no longer sit still.

I was so anxious that my lips were covered with blisters.

"This damn emperor! I should have used gunpowder to blow up his palace!"

"The dog emperor, a broken throne, thinks everyone wants him..."

“…”

Just when Feng Zhenzhu was cursing over and over again and it was becoming a bit repetitive, the housekeeper came hurriedly reporting.

"Madam, Princess Linjiang, the Duke and the Prince have come out of the palace."

Cui Lingyi stood up suddenly.

"Is everyone okay?"

"It's okay. The Duke and the Prince are both fine."

Feng Zhenzhu also stood up and prepared to leave.

"I'd better go back, lest the dog emperor accuse us of collusion again."

Cui Lingyi stopped her.

"You are getting nervous now. His Majesty must know that you are here, so you should stay here. Tell him that my old illness has come back and I want you to treat it. The King of Linjiang may come soon."

Feng Zhenzhu thought about it and said, "Yeah, there's nothing to be afraid of. At this point, we're basically at loggerheads."

After a while, Shen Du and King Linjiang came back one after another.

Both of them looked unhappy.

However, after seeing the two of them, the two men curled up the corners of their lips at the same time.
