Su Qingchi was still asleep when the eunuch came to announce the decree. Last night, because of the arranged marriage, he indulged Yue Ci, but he didn't expect that he would get out of control and slept until noon before waking up.

As soon as he opened his eyes and turned his head, he saw a string of jade beads falling on the table. His ears turned red. He propped himself up, reached out and hooked the thing down and threw it into the corner.

His throat still hurt a little, and his waist and legs felt a little sore. Su Qingchi was very annoyed, so he simply turned back into a fox and continued to lie on the bed.

When Yue Ci came back, he saw a white mass lying on the quilt. He stepped forward and rubbed it twice: "How did it return to its original shape?"

Su Qingchi was watching gossip with Xiao Qi in the spiritual sea. He came back to his senses when he heard Yue Ci's voice and raised his head: "Oh." He felt uncomfortable.

Yue Ci picked up Su Qingchi and held him to the dining table: "Once you turned back into a fox, I couldn't understand what you were saying."

Su Qingchi changed back to human form and rode on Yue Ci: "My waist hurts."

Yue Ci felt a little guilty listening to his complaining tone. He had indeed gone a little too far yesterday.

He put his hand on Su Qingchi's waist and massaged it gently. With his other hand, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Qingchi's lips: "My fault. Drink some water. My voice is hoarse."

Su Qingchi drank a whole cup of tea from Yue Ci's hand and felt much better: "I'm hungry."

Yue Ci put the teacup back and told the servant to bring lunch.

Su Qingchi smelled the fragrance and was about to get off Yue Ci, but was slapped back.

He frowned: "What are you doing?!"

Yue Ci pinched the flesh on his face: "Didn't you say your waist hurts?"

Su Qingchi slapped Yue Ci's hand away, moved away from him and sat next to him: "Then you can't eat if you sit down."

After the meal, Su Qingchi originally wanted to go to the yard to bask in the sun, but Yue Ci picked him up and carried him into the inner room.

He swung his legs and glared at Yue Ci: "I want to bask in the sun."

Yue Ci put him on the bed and kissed the corner of his lips: "Be good, the sun is too strong now, take a nap with me first, and I will accompany you to bask in the sun later."

Having said that, Yue Ci lay down beside Su Qingchi and hugged him.

Su Qingchi was no longer sleepy, so he could only turn sideways and pull a strand of Yue Ci's hair to start braiding his hair.

Yue Ci looked at him playing with his hair: "The imperial edict has come down, but you were still asleep at the time, so I didn't wake you up. I was afraid that they would disturb you, so I didn't let anyone read it and sent them away directly."

"Oh."

"The date is set for three months from now, October 26th."

Su Qingchi stopped and looked up: "Isn't it too rushed?"

Yue Ci patted Su Qingchi on the head. Su Qingchi understood what he meant and showed his fox ears.

Yue Ci touched the fox's ears with satisfaction: "Don't rush, I asked Shen Linze to find someone to make the clothes a few days ago."

Su Qingchi continued to braid her hair: "What about Murong Ge?"

Yue Ci: "The Imperial Observatory has not yet given a precise date, but it should not be later than ours. After all, the longer the night, the more dreams there are, and the ceremony of conferring the title of imperial concubine is not that complicated."

"Oh, I get it, you should take a rest."

"it is good."

-

Yue Ci woke up after sleeping for an hour. He tried to pull his arms back but found nothing. He opened his eyes and found Su Qingchi had turned back into the fox den and was sleeping soundly next to him.

He casually stroked a handful of fox fur, then stood up, put on his shoes slowly and stood up.

Just as I was about to leave, I felt my clothes being pulled.

Yue Ci turned around and saw that Su Qingchi had turned back into human form. He pulled his clothes with one hand and rubbed his eyes with the other hand: "Where are you going?"

It had been a long time since I saw Chi Chi so soft in normal times. Yue Ci couldn't help but hold her down and kiss her for a long time before saying, "Let's go to the study."

Su Qingchi pursed his lips which felt a little stinging: "I want to go too."

Yue Ci looked at Su Qingchi's watery eyes and rubbed the corners of his eyes with his thumb, and the light red color suddenly became much darker.

Su Qingchi looked at Yue Ci accusingly: "It hurts."

Yue Ci blew gently: "Sorry. Can I hug you?"

Hearing this, Su Qingchi turned back into a fox, climbed up Yue Ci's arm to his shoulder, and touched his cheek with his head, indicating that he could leave.

After arriving at the study, Yue Ci put Su Qingchi on the ground. After Su Qingchi found his own little nest, he curled up in it and began to bask in the sun.

Yue Ci handled official business, while Su Qingchi watched Murong Jun and King Ning's every move in the Linghai.

It seems that the two are about to reach a cooperation, but King Ning has been hanging around Murong Ge every day recently, and feels that he has a chance before the date is set.

Murong Jun secretly won over those ministers, hoping to slowly infiltrate the Dasheng court.

Su Qingchi sighed as he watched their actions. How could Li Fu, with his broken brain, put winning over court officials second, allowing Murong Jun to take advantage of the opportunity?

Then he felt bad for Murong Jun. All the important ministers he had won over were promoted by Yue Ci and were absolutely loyal to Dasheng.

If Murong Jun knew that he spent so much money and it all went into Yue Ci's pocket, he would probably be so angry that he would want to kill someone.

Su Qingchi ordered Xiao Qi: "Stop any news about them and don't let Ci Ci know about their important actions."

"Ah?" Xiao Qi was stunned. Why was Chi Chi helping outsiders to pinch?

Su Qingchi poked her head and said, "Be good, stop asking about the underworld and do as I say."

"Oh."

----

The date for Murong Ge to enter the palace was soon set, on the third day of September.

Murong Jun found that no matter what he did, those ministers were just beating around the bush to try to get him to agree. He realized that this approach was not feasible, so he gave up.

He began to place spies in the streets and the mansions of ministers. Having them is better than having none.

But what shocked him was that the operation went so smoothly that it was frightening, so he became more careful.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why it went so smoothly was only because Su Qingchi was covering for him, and Yue Ci had no idea about it at all.

Yue Ci was also wondering why Murong Jun and Li Fu suddenly became so honest. He even went to investigate several times in person, but found nothing unusual.

———Two years later————

After Murong Ge entered the palace, Su Qingchi began to sow discord between Li Cu and Lin Li. He didn't want them to become enemies, but just wanted to "add bricks and tiles" to their love path.

Whenever Li Cu was angry with Lin Li, he would go to find Murong Ge. The incense burning in Murong Ge's palace contained the "poison" given by Su Qingchi.

In the past two years, Li Cu began to feel increasingly overwhelmed, sometimes falling asleep in the middle of a conversation. Lin Li couldn't figure out what was wrong.

It was not until Xiao Qi told Su Qingchi that Li Fu and Murong Jun were about to take action that Murong Ge tricked Li Cu into letting Yue Ci go to suppress the bandits, saving Su Qingchi a lot of effort.

He went to the palace the day before Li Fu's action, and the eunuch saw him and hurried into the hall to report.

"Your Majesty, the Princess Regent requests an audience."

Li Cu was leaning on the bed, while Lin Li was feeding him medicine. Hearing this, Li Cu frowned: "What is he doing here?"

Lin Li motioned for Li Cu to finish the medicine, then put the bowl aside and said, "Please come in."

"Whoo."

As soon as Su Qingchi entered the hall, he saw Li Cu, who was pale, sitting at the table and Lin Li, who was holding his hand.

He sat down on a stool casually as if he was at home, and poured himself a cup of tea: "It's been a long time since we last met. Your health seems to be getting worse."

Lin Li held down Li Cu who was about to lose his temper and asked, "What is the matter with the Regent Princess coming here today?"

Su Qingchi took a sip of tea and said, "I can cure his poison."

Lin Li held Li Cu's hand tightly and said, "Conditions."

"I want Li Cu to swear that if he doubts Ci Ci once again, he will shorten his life by one year, twice by two years, three times by four years, and so on. How do you think?"

"Ridiculous!" Li Cu slammed the table, and Lin Li also looked unfriendly.

Su Qingchi remained calm: "Anyway, the decision is in your hands. Don't even think about arresting me. I have the courage to come by myself, which proves that you can't trap me."

Lin Li looked at the person in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"Human?" Su Qingchi raised the corners of his lips, and nine white tails suddenly emerged from behind him: "I prefer you to call me a demon."

"Are you the white fox?!" Li Cu and the other man said in unison.

Su Qingchi raised his eyebrows: "Hmm."

Li Cu's face was gloomy: "Then you know that your exposure today means that Yue Ci has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Su Qingchi smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, Cici found me in the back mountain of his manor when I was injured while picking herbs in human form.

That is to say, he thought I was a human from the beginning, so the crime of deceiving the king... is naturally not established."

Lin Li has calmed down at this moment: "But as long as we want, Yue Ci will definitely bear the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Then you are too stupid." Su Qingchi looked at them with a smile: "It is easy to see from the requirements I put forward that the premise for Li Cu to be alive is that Ci Ci is safe and sound.

As long as you take any action to commit a crime, I can kill you directly.

Anyway, there is a Xirong princess in the palace, right? "

After Su Qingchi finished speaking, he put away the smile on his face and looked at Li Cu coldly: "I hope you understand that the reason I saved you is because Ci Ci didn't want your Li Kingdom, not because I couldn't.

I originally wanted to kill you and let Ci Ci be the emperor. But he only wanted you to sit on the throne.

So Li Cu, I can protect you to live a hundred years, but the premise is that you must give Yue Ci your full trust, and my Ci Ci must be safe throughout her life!"

"We promise you." Before Li Cu could speak, Lin Li replied: "It's just that I swear to you that I will shorten my life."

Su Qingchi sneered: "You only have a few years to live, are you trying to fool me? Master Imperial Master, you don't have the capital to negotiate terms."

At this time, Xiao Qi informed Su Qingchi: "Chi Chi, it's OK."

Su Qingchi hummed to show that he understood, then threw the tea in his hand out: "It's okay, no rush. Let's watch the show for a while."

The tea condensed into a thin layer of water mirror in the air, and the situation outside was reflected in the mirror.

Lin Li and the other person were looking at the water mirror and did not notice that Su Qingchi's expression suddenly changed.
