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

"You do things without considering the consequences?" Li Qingqian said, "If you succeed in helping the Crown Prince and his wife, it will be a disaster for me. If I am gone by then, do you think His Royal Highness will abandon me after I have done what I have done?"

"On the contrary, your secret has now been exposed to me. If their plan does not go as planned, guess whether they will give you up and ease their relationship with the Zhenguogong Mansion?"

Yun Chang's eyes were gradually filled with confusion.

Li Qingqian curled the corners of his mouth, "Guess again, will I protect you?"

Yun Shang then began to feel scared. A girl hated being betrayed by her close ones the most. If such a day really came, she would be like a fish on the chopping board.

But this is not right. Prince Shen also bullied the girl that day, but didn’t the girl still marry him in peace?

How could the relationship between me and the girl over the years not compare to that of Master Shen?

How could Li Qingqian not guess what she was thinking? She just chuckled and said, "Think carefully before you answer. Shen Changyun is a royal relative and a noble prince. For me, he is the biggest shortcut to power. Even if I don't love him one day, he will still be my chess piece to save my life and wealth. But what about you? What can you give me to make me endure the grievance of being betrayed and protect you?"

The hope that had just appeared in Yun Chang's eyes dimmed in an instant.

Li Qingqian felt a little disappointed with his friend and laughed in anger.

"I'm not using my status to bully you, but before you do something, why don't you think about whether you have the ability to bear the consequences?" She turned sideways to Yun Shang, with one hand on the table, "In fact, it's not just you. Maybe the fact that you can get in touch with the prince and his wife is the result of grandma's indulgence, right?"

Yun Shang was so surprised that she frowned, "Miss..."

"You don't have to quibble," Li Qingqian interrupted her, "I had a vague guess the moment I got the Tan Yi secret guards, and after I came back from Yunzhou, I figured everything out."

From the day she entered the palace to wait for her marriage, everything was a big drama performed by the royal family.

On the surface, she was given enough glory, but in fact, she was being praised first and then suppressed, so that even if she figured everything out in the future, she would not have any complaints. This was the first step.

Then came Jiang Huairong's letter, suggesting that Li Qingqian must follow Shen Changyun to Yunzhou, so that she would not only be linked to the disappearance of the fifth princess, but also be implicated in the turmoil of the real ninth prince. This was the second step.

If nothing unexpected happens, the third step would be that in the near future, if Jiang Huairong made some move in Beiyuan that disturbed Zhongyuan, he would put all the blame on the fact that she liked him.

After all, the Fifth Princess loved me so much that she even ran away from the palace.

The ultimate goal of Emperor Hexi is to force Li Xi and Shen Changyun to pacify Beiyuan. Whether they win or lose, it will not hurt Dawei's vitality.

Either he pacifies Beiyuan and makes the other two foreign nations lose the backbone of their conspiracy; or he loses and Dawei follows Beiyuan's example and pretends to know nothing.

At the same time, this incident can be used to weaken the most powerful Zhenguogong Mansion and Zuo Xiangli Mansion in the court.

And Li Qingqian is the rope that binds these two forces that they most want to weaken.

I'm afraid even Emperor Hexi himself didn't expect that Jiang Huaijing didn't want to win his trust through these things, but wanted his throne.

The situation has changed now, but the most fundamental things have not changed.

Li Qingqian felt a little cold in her heart. Jiang Huairong, oh Jiang Huairong, do you know that you have become a pawn in the hands of your parents and brothers who love you the most?

"As for the Tan Yi Secret Guards, my grandmother prepared them for me a long time ago. Firstly, she wanted me to train myself and cultivate the Tan Yi Secret Guards into my own life-saving talisman; secondly, she had long seen that the people around me had begun to be disloyal."

She turned around and looked at Yun Shang again.

"They all wanted you to die, but I kept you alive."

"Yun Shang, who has schemed against you? It certainly wasn't me."

Yun Chang's inner defenses were completely broken, her body was shaking, and her head was swollen.

It turned out that the thoughts that she thought she had hidden so well during this period were all indulged by the old lady, and the girl was well aware of it.

They are all giving themselves opportunities, but they are moving step by step in the wrong direction.

"After the girl said this, I'm afraid she can no longer tolerate Yun Shang in her heart. So what fate will Yun Shang face next?"

The tears in her eyes had dried.

The first person to find her was not the Crown Princess, but the woman named Ling Ling.

Yunchang didn't like her at first, because Ling Ling had a lot of malice towards Li Qingqian. Li Qingqian didn't like her, so Yunchang didn't like her either.

But later on, she pointed out her feelings for the Second Young Master incisively and directly, but she had only talked about these things with Li Qingqian.

Ling Ling also inadvertently revealed that these were all told to her by Li Qingqian herself.

Yun Chang didn't know why the girl told these things to Ling Ling, whom she hated. Yun Chang was just afraid that these things would be exposed, so she fell into the trap before she had time to think clearly.

Later, the secret guards around the Crown Princess found her, which led to the incident at Changming Tower.

Her original intention was to make Song Ningyan suffer after this incident and leave a bad reputation in the capital, so as to eliminate the possibility of Song Ningyan marrying the second young master.

But Yun Chang didn't expect that not only was this matter handled cleanly by Li Qingqian and Song Ningyan, but Ling Ling was also sent back to Yunzhou.

However, because of this incident, Yun Chang was very grateful that she was not exposed immediately.

Only now did she realize that she had been completely exposed for a long time, but Li Qingqian had never cared about it and had always given her chances to come back.

At this point, she has lost completely.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Li Qingqian picked up the fan at hand and fanned herself. "No matter what, you are the Crown Princess's personal servant. Can I just drive you away?"

At least in this respect, Yun Shang still understood Li Qingqian, and knew that she still had a chance to survive, so she listened patiently.

It was not until Li Qingqian explained everything to her that Yun Shang remembered that she seemed to be blinded by jealousy. She could not throw away the opportunity to live a good life no matter what!

Li Qingqian still didn't look at her in a good way, and said in a cold voice: "I don't sleep well at night, you know. You just stand guard outside the door, and you are not allowed to come in or leave. Whether you can live or not, whether you want to live or not, it's all up to you to choose."

Now the Crown Princess would certainly want to distance herself from him. Yun Chang had no other choice but to apologize to Li Qingqian.

Since there was a chance to survive, she naturally had to seize it. She was even afraid that Li Qingqian would regret it the next moment, so she immediately left the house.

Li Qingqian was the only one left in the room.

She sighed inaudibly and gently stroked her belly with one hand. It seemed that keeping this child a secret was the right decision.
