After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

The sky was covered with dark clouds, there was no moon tonight, and the narrow red-walled palace path was deserted.

A gust of wind blew, so cold that the official couldn't help shivering.

Why am I here alone?

He turned his head and looked back. There was no one around. In the middle of the night, there were only palace lanterns on both sides of the palace road, flashing flickering lights, reflecting his shadow, which also became brighter and darker.

The official walked forward, trying to find the way back to the Qiankun Palace.

But this palace road is so long, it seems like no matter how long you walk, you will never finish it.

As the official was walking, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him.

He thought that a palace servant had come here, and turned around in surprise, only to find that he had appeared at the end of the palace road behind him without knowing when.

The palace gates there were all open, and the official saw many people made of wood walking out of the red palace gate which was very close to him.

The wooden men were approaching him rapidly.

The official was so frightened that he fell to the ground, crawling forward desperately.

The wooden men behind him were chasing the official desperately.

The official was so tired that his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was out of breath and gasping for breath.

But the palace road had no end, and the official's speed gradually slowed down due to exhaustion. He was rushed by the wooden men, grabbed him, and hit him hard on the head.

One, one, another.

The official felt some warm liquid flowing down his forehead and dripping onto the ground.

is blood.

He was bleeding.

Those wooden men were still hitting his head madly.

It hurts, it really hurts.

There were more and more drops of blood on the ground.

The wooden man's fists still fell like raindrops.

I am not going to die here, the emperor thought with some despair.

"Your Majesty, Li Sizheng is here. Do you want to see him or not?" the eunuch said as he entered the room.

After listening to the eunuch's words, the official realized that he was just dreaming, but everything seemed so real.

Even now, the emperor still feels frightened when he thinks of this dream.

"Let him in." The official said, standing up from the table.

After a while, Li Jianzhang walked in.

"I pay my respects to the emperor and wish him good health." Li Jianzhang saluted and said.

The official covered his head, his face was a little pale, unlike before. He asked, "What do you want to report, Li Sizheng?"

Li Jianzhang reported on the recent work results of the Dali Temple.

When the emperor was about to wave his hand and ask him to leave, Li Jianzhang asked with concern: "Why do you look so pale today, emperor? Are you worried about something?"

"I am willing to relieve the emperor's worries." Li Jianzhang said sincerely.

"Alas..." The official sighed for a long time, and then slowly said: "I fell asleep this afternoon, and I couldn't get out of the palace. There was a wooden man chasing me. The wooden man also beat me on the head, and my head is still hurting now."

Li Jianzhang's mind suddenly changed, and he said carefully: "Sir, what are you doing..."

Li Jianzhang began to hesitate at this time.

The official covered his aching head and said, "If you want to say it, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

"This matter may violate taboos. I hope the emperor will forgive me and show me innocence." Li Jianzhang said.

The official covered his head and said, "I forgive you for your innocence. You speak."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you've fallen into the spell of witchcraft." Li Jianzhang said with lowered eyebrows.

"How bold! Who is so bold!" the official said angrily.

"I'll leave this matter to you to investigate. Make sure you get to the bottom of it!" the official ordered Li Jianzhang.

"I obey your order." Li Jianzhang said.

"I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Li Jianzhang continued.

Li Jianzhang left the side hall of Qianqi Palace with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

After leaving the palace, he sent a message to Kang Miaoqing.

In the private room of Jinrong Restaurant, in front of a round wooden table.

Li Jianzhang had been waiting here for a while before he saw Kang Miaoqing lift the pearl curtain of the inner room and walk in with her maid.

"What's the matter?" Kang Miaoqing said.

She sat down opposite Li Jianzhang.

"Today, taking advantage of the fact that His Majesty is having a headache, I have come up with an idea, but I need your cooperation," said Li Jianzhang.

Li Jianzhang was furious thinking that Liu Yuefu had betrayed him.

Li Jianzhang opened the wooden box on the table, which contained several wooden dolls.

"What are you going to do? You don't want to..." Kang Miaoqing said.

Li Jianzhang nodded, "That's exactly what you thought."

Kang Miaoqing curled her eyes. She knew that Li Jianzhang was a smart man, but also a reckless person.

"It is inconvenient for me to go in and out of the palace. I think it should be no problem if you send someone to bury him in Prince Jing's palace." Li Jianzhang asked.

"Once this happens, King Jing will definitely die. This can be considered as fulfilling your wish." Li Jianzhang said.

"Now the crown prince has been deposed, the third prince and the sixth prince have passed away, the fourth prince is yours, and it is almost certain that the second prince will take the throne." Li Jianzhang said slowly after taking a sip of tea.

"Thank you for your good words." Kang Miaoqing said.

"I will find a way to do what you said." Kang Miaoqing picked up the wooden box and walked out.

On the other hand, the marriage between Liu Yuefu and King Jing Liang Jiuan has been finalized.

The palace's Ministry of Rites has already chosen an auspicious day.

The emperor sent his most senior eunuch to the Liu family.

The chief eunuch came to the Liu family and summoned Liu Yuefu to an audience, and rewarded her with a jade ruyi, boots, hairpins, a jade sceptre, gold-plated items, as well as 100 rolls of red satin, 100 pairs of silver items, 100 pieces of clothing, and a betrothal gift of 10,000 taels of silver.

The chief eunuch waved his hand, and a group of people unloaded things from the carriage like flowing water and moved them into the Liu family's house.

It took a long time to move all the rewards.

Liu Yuefu followed the chief eunuch into the palace.

His Majesty specially hosted a banquet for her in the main hall of Qiankun Palace to celebrate the wedding between Prince Jing and her.

The imperial banquet used pure gold wine cups to hold food, which was extremely luxurious.

The first dish is meat with salted beans, the second dish is stir-fried meat with double corners, the third dish is lotus meat and fried bone cake, the fourth dish is string rice noodle, the fifth dish is Taiping Biluo, the sixth dish is Mi Fu Su Na Hua, the seventh dish is cooked lamb ribs for wine, the eighth dish is tripe soup, the ninth dish is rice, and there are other snacks: date cakes, marrow cakes, white beard cakes, ring cakes... and so on.

The fried meat is made by slicing mutton into small pieces and stir-frying it in hot oil. It is very salty and delicious. When Liu Yuefu took a bite of it with her chopsticks, the oil evenly coated the thin mutton, making her mouth water.

Suofen is vermicelli stewed with jasmine flowers. It smells extremely fragrant, with a light jasmine scent wafting into your nose.

Liu Yuefu added some mutton as a topping and ate it with the dish.

This was a banquet of the highest standard for the royal family - a nine-lamp standard. The Da Qi also used this standard when entertaining foreign envoys.

During the banquet, the royal band played music to entertain the guests.

After the banquet, Liu Yuefu stepped forward to salute the emperor and express her gratitude, "Thank you for hosting the banquet and entertaining me."

The emperor looked at her and nodded, saying, "I only hope that you and your fifth brother can live in harmony and happiness."

The two were having a great time at the moment, but they had no idea that there would be a tense scene at the wedding later.
