The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

When they arrived at Changming Tower, Yunyi and Yunshang were waiting on the side. Li Qingqian personally served porridge to the suffering people in the capital, one spoonful at a time.

It was not until the sun set that Song Ningyan arrived at Changming Tower. She saw Li Qingqian's figure from afar, suppressed her bad thoughts, and walked up to her to greet her.

"I think it's almost time. Why don't you come in and sit with me?" Song Ningyan suggested, "We haven't sat together and talked for a long time since you got married."

Song Ningyan also attended Li Qingqian's wedding. As her best friend, she must go to drink a glass of wedding wine.

It was only after being invited to the Li Mansion that day that I learned that Li Qingqian had married from the palace, and the wedding banquet being held in the mansion for Li Shuyue was also very deserted.

Song Ningyan felt that it was not like sending her daughter off to get married, but more like attending a funeral.

She had not originally planned to stay long, thinking of having a drink at the wedding and then going home, but she was pulled aside by Li Zhen at the end of the banquet.

Song Ningyan didn't know why at the time, but she had an indescribable complex emotion towards Li Zhen in front of her.

Fortunately, Li Zhen didn't say much to her. Although she felt puzzled, she didn't take it to heart.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look well." Li Qingqian noticed her abnormality at the moment.

Song Ningyan, however, took her arm and walked into the main building.

Li Qingqian knew that she must have something important to tell him, so he asked Yunyi to take Yunshang to the Li family to do that.

She also noticed that before Yun Shang left, a complex emotion seemed to flash across her face.

Song Ningyan pulled her into their room in Changming Tower and then locked the door.

"Have you ever heard your father talk about your eldest brother's marriage?"

Li Qingqian didn't quite understand what she meant: "Why are you asking this?"

Song Ningyan sighed lightly, and sat at the table in some distress, holding up her chin with one hand, "I heard my father say at home that Prime Minister Li and Minister Meng have reached a consensus and are about to arrange the marriage between your elder brother and Sister Yanrong."

Everyone in the Li family was tacitly aware of this matter and almost tacitly agreed to the marriage.

Li Qingqian nodded lightly, sat down next to Song Ningyan, and reached out to pour tea.

"I've heard a little bit about it. Why are you unhappy because of this?" She smiled and teased, "You don't like my elder brother, do you?"

Song Ningyan glared at her unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Since you know about this, do you know that my father plans to marry me to your second brother?"

Li Qingqian paused while pouring the tea. "Haven't you already rejected this matter? You told me about it not long after I returned to Beijing."

"It's not the same thing." Song Ningyan waved her hand with a vague look in her eyes. "This time your elder brother came back with honors. Although he didn't tell the public that his injury had healed, his honor was there, and a small part of the military power was also allocated to him. So my cheap father wanted to use me to get close to your family."

Li Qingqian blew gently on the steaming tea, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Your father wants to establish a relationship with an official who holds military power, but I know my old man well. Now that Ding'an Marquis has no real power and is not valued by His Majesty, he will never agree to this."

Song Ningyan patted her chest as if she was relieved, "That's good."

Li Qingqian became interested and raised an eyebrow and asked, "You seem to dislike my second brother very much?"

Song Ningyan pulled the corner of her mouth unnaturally, "Actually, I don't know myself. I have never thought about this before. And..."

She lowered her voice a bit: "Only you know about my affair. I don't know if Xiaoyan likes your second brother. I really can't use her body against her will."

Li Qingqian pursed her lips. She didn't know how to persuade Song Ningyan about this matter.

She didn't know what the other person's original world was like, so she wouldn't force An Ning to use her own cognition; similarly, An Ning didn't know what Xiao Yan originally thought, so she wouldn't make a decision that went against Xiao Yan's previous thoughts.

But in fact, Li Qingqian didn't know whether Xiaoyan had ever had feelings for Li Zhen before her death. She never showed any extra thoughts in front of him, but was quiet and wanted to survive as tenaciously as a cattail.

In the end, it didn't happen.

So when Li Qingqian mentioned Xiaoyan, a layer of sadness always rose in his heart.

Furthermore, she knew that her second brother remained unmarried in his previous life because he missed the woman he loved. If possible, Li Qingqian hoped that he could fulfill his wish in this life.

Therefore, Li Qingqian cannot interfere too much in this matter.

Besides, the mystery of the Western Region wizard is more important now. Only by solving this mystery can we find out the truth behind the sign of rebirth.

Just as she was worried, Yun Wu's anxious voice sounded outside the door: "Young Madam, Young Madam?"

Li Qingqian stood up and walked towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yunwu looking at her in panic, with a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

She asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Yunwu whispered something in her ear.

Li Qingqian's pupils trembled, "Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true. The palace has summoned you and asked you to come over quickly."

Li Qingqian tried to calm her breathing, turned around and said to Song Ningyan who looked confused: "I have something to do in the palace, you can eat dinner by yourself."

Song Ningyan was wondering: It was getting late and the palace gates were about to be locked, why was she summoned into the palace at this time?

But on second thought, it's true that Emperor Dawei has a weird personality. He always likes to summon people to discuss important matters in the evening or at night.

Watching Li Qingqian's back as he left in a hurry, Song Ningyan couldn't help but be curious: What happened that made him so urgent?

*

This morning, Shen Changyun arrived at the palace.

All the way to the palace dungeon, I found that Emperor Hexi and Jiang Huaijing were already waiting there.

Emperor Hexi looked at the bruised and battered foreign thief in front of him. He was tied up tightly, bleeding all over, and even his nails were pulled out. It seemed that he was only breathing his last breath.

Shen Changyun glanced at him vaguely, then stepped forward respectfully and bowed to the two of them: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Hexi looked at him inquiringly for a long time before waving his hand at him with great pleasure, "No need for formalities. You have captured this Beiyuan bandit for Dawei, which is indeed a great achievement!"

Jiang Huaijing smiled with contempt, pointing at the alien thief who couldn't stand the torture and fell to the ground, "This man has confessed everything. He was sent by Beiyuan to poison the people of Dawei during the Dawei Lantern Festival. Here, this is the poison we found on him."

Shen Changyun took the Snow Heart Jade Glass Bottle, opened it and smelled a little bit. There was no doubt that someone in the previous life had used this strange poison unique to Beiyuan to poison and kill Emperor Hexi.

His eyes were stern. How sinister and cunning! They even tried to arrange the poisoning location near Changming Tower. This was because due to the booming business of Changming Tower, many people from the surrounding area came out to visit the night market.

Not only can it spread the poison quickly over a large area, but it can also fulfill their promise to the Liu family and get rid of Li Qingqian, killing two birds with one stone.

"I heard that Beiyuan's proton has been delivered?" Shen Changyun raised his eyebrows.

"That's right," Jiang Huaijing nodded, "but father has clearly rejected Beiyuan's request for a hostage from Dawei."

Shen Changyun chuckled in his heart, why is he so tough this time?

Emperor Hexi snorted coldly: "You are just a foreign nation that depends on Dawei for survival. You have learned some evil magic from the unorthodox ways. Do you think you have the capital to negotiate with Dawei? How ridiculous!"

Jiang Huaijing, who was standing behind him, whispered to Shen Changyun, "Since Beiyuan failed to get a hostage, he turned to my father and asked the emperor to marry Princess Dawei. He specifically asked Huairong to marry her."

Shen Changyun snorted disdainfully: "Is it possible that he came here with a plan in advance? Did he come up with a series of tricks to help Dawei pay tribute to the emperor?"
