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

During the days that Li Qingqian lived in the Eastern Palace to accompany the Crown Princess, even Yun Yi, who had been serving her, was sent back. Instead, Yun Shang was summoned to the Eastern Palace to stay by her side.

When Li Qingqian saw that she was greeted with a smile by the Crown Princess, she was extremely surprised, but she still looked calm and composed.

Lu Yunhan smiled and pulled her in front of Li Qingqian, saying, "I heard that this girl not only followed you since she was a child, but was also raised by your grandmother. I think she will feel more comfortable following you."

Li Qingqian just smiled. The prince and his wife knew everything about the maid beside her. Or did they already start considering this before she was sent away from the capital?

After saying some insignificant words, Lu Yunhan left Li Qingqian's room and told her to go to bed early, like a very kind and gentle sister, just as she looked before.

But Li Qingqian still does not regret what she had thought. If it weren't for those things in her previous life, she and the Crown Princess would have become good friends.

As of now, at least the Crown Prince and his wife are not as gentle and kind as they appeared in their previous lives.

Perhaps it was only because they lost the support of Shen Changyun and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion during the struggle for power that disrupted all their plans, forcing them to restrain their edge?

"Smart people." Li Qingqian likes to deal with smart people.

Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at her, "What did the girl say?"

Li Qingqian took a sip of tea without even looking at her. "I am already a pawn under the Crown Prince and his wife, so you don't have to address me the way you did when I was in the boudoir, right? Miss Yunshang, it would be better to address me as the Crown Prince's wife."

Yun Shang was startled and swallowed unconsciously, "Girl, what are you talking about..."

Li Qingqian then slowly raised her head and forced herself to meet her evasive gaze, with the same smile on her face as she had given her before, but she placed the teacup heavily on the table in her hand.

"What did I say?" She sneered, "Do you think that during this period of time, I used Yun Yi more than you, just because you were sad about your second brother's wedding?"

"Yun Shang, since I knew your thoughts, I not only protected you, but also took care of you in every way regardless of the past. Tell me, what have I done wrong to you? Why would you rather be on good terms with the Crown Prince and his wife than be loyal to me?"

Seeing her lowering her head and not saying anything, Li Qingqian just found it funny.

"You are my maid, and I have explained the interests to you clearly before I got married. I think even a fool can at least know who is truly good to you."

Yun Shang realized that she couldn't hide it any longer, so she looked up at her inquiring eyes and asked hesitantly, "When did you find out?"

"I'm going to ask you when you boarded the Crown Princess's ship?" Li Qingqian's face was stern. "Was it when the fire broke out at Changming Tower, or even earlier?"

The fire in Changming Tower was suspicious in itself. It seemed that only Ling Ling did it in order to become Jiang Lin's concubine. But Changming Tower was not just her property. Why did it happen there?

Furthermore, at that time, Song Ningyan was the only official owner of Changminglou. How did Ling Ling know that she also had a share?

How could it be such a coincidence that Song Ningyan was also there that night and happened to save the fire from spreading?

Li Qingqian took out from her bosom a scarlet pearl flower that she had given to Yunchang as a reward after she had just returned to Beijing and received the betrothal gift from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"But it just happened that I was still wondering when I picked it up. When I passed by the first box, I saw you walk in, and then a mysterious woman walked in. I recognized her. She was the secret guard that the prince had arranged to be by the princess' side a few years ago."

Li Qingqian fiddled with the pearl flower. "I'm a little curious. What on earth are you two going to talk about that would take you an hour?"

Yun Shang recalled in her mind, looking a little embarrassed, "So that night, the girl did not leave with Master Shen, but turned back. So I guess the girl went to talk to Miss Song Er, so the identity of that woman was also told to you by Miss Song Er?"

Li Qingqian shook her head. "Don't worry about how I know that. But I want to remind you that she is more than just the second daughter of the Song family. With your status, you have to call her the Second Young Master's Madam."

Yun Shang suddenly raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "But Miss knows that I am in love with the Second Young Master."

Li Qingqian chuckled, "Are you finally willing to admit it?"

Seeing Yun Shang turned her head away and said nothing, she sighed softly, went to the door and carefully confirmed again that the secret guard who was quietly guarding the door had left.

Then he came to Yunchang again and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The secret guard who was eavesdropping at the door just now should have reported to the Crown Princess, saying that we have torn our relationship apart. Yunchang, you are no longer useful to the Crown Princess."

Yun Shang looked towards the door with some horror. She had long guessed that the Crown Princess would plant spies, but she didn't expect that Li Qingqian would do it on purpose.

Based on her understanding of Li Qingqian, the other party should be extremely cautious and there is no way he would notice the Crown Princess's actions.

But she didn't know that the current Li Qingqian was different from when she just returned to Beijing. Even Yun Yi was on high alert about this matter.

Li Qingqian has begun to slowly regain the knowledge he had acquired in his previous life.

Now that the words had reached the Crown Princess' ears, Yun Shang knew that she had become a useless chess piece. She didn't know what to do now. She didn't know that Li Qingqian had only said a few words casually, and the piece of driftwood that she had been clinging to so hard would drift away with the water.

"Just because of a man, she abandoned her most reliable support; just for a man, she would rather betray her master and look for a more dangerous master. Yunshang, how come you have become more and more confused after following your grandmother for so many years?"

"It's not just because of the Second Young Master," Yun Shang's tears fell, "Miss, Yun Yi and I have followed you since we were young. Just because you are closer in age, do you always treat me as a little sister who needs extra care? Just because of this, you are always closer to her."

"I don't believe you can't see that I don't like the current Second Young Master's wife, but even so, you are still on good terms with her, without considering my feelings at all. Miss, is this what you usually tell me, that you regard me as your confidant like Yun Yi?"

"Snapped."

Li Qingqian had a cold face and slapped Yun Shang on the side of her face mercilessly.

Yun Shang was a little dazed by the beating. Although Li Qingqian used to be cold and aloof, she was also gentle. In addition, she had a close relationship with her since childhood, so this was the first time she was beaten by her.

"It seems that I have really spoiled you over the years."
