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

*

Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun entered the palace easily.

Although they were invited by the queen, they were not allowed to meet the king and queen according to the rules. Instead, the palace maid who came to deliver the message said that the king was busy and took them to a room that had been prepared early in the morning.

After closing the door, Li Qingqian looked around at the surrounding environment.

"Don't you think it's strange? It's completely different from our Dawei style."

Li Qingqian nodded as he watched, "I've never seen this before, it's very rare. So we'd better be careful, in case they do something in a place we can't expect."

Shen Changyun sat down. "The King of Beiyuan, Qi Guanyan, has seen me. We have to meet him when we come to Beiyuan. Will it delay your business?"

Li Qingqian smiled and rubbed his head, thinking that he looked good with the Beiyuan man's hairstyle.

"No, just put this on," she took out a dark blue wolf mask, "You've been covering your face all the way, so I'll say you have a facial injury. It's not good to ask you to take off the mask."

Shen Changyun took the mask and found that it was bought when they went out for fun during the Lantern Festival.

"I found this when I was sorting out your private vault. I had been carrying it with me before I went to Xiliang. I wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Now you can wear it."

Shen Changyun put on the mask obediently and asked uncertainly: "Qianqian, do you really think I look good in this?"

Li Qingqian touched his chin and said, "Don't worry, you look good in my eyes no matter what."

At this moment, a man suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, saying to the two of them, "Your Majesty, please ask this gentleman to come over for a chat."

Li Qingqian asked suspiciously, "Is he going alone? According to the rules, I should go with him."

The man simply looked up at them, then said with some hesitation, "The queen will come to find my lady, please wait here."

Li Qingqian frowned slightly. This person was speaking Dawei language. Although it was a bit awkward, it was still fluent.

The people of Beiyuan have always been eyeing the land of Dawei. No one wants the common language to still be the previous dynasty's after they take over the Central Plains. So they have clearly felt along the way that most people of Beiyuan still cannot speak Dawei's language.

The identity of this person in front of me is probably not simple.

Shen Changyun held her hand, looked up and gave her a look that reassured her, and then without saying a word, he followed the man away.

Li Qingqian looked at his back with some worry.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Shen Changyun, she just can’t help but be suspicious of the people of Beiyuan.

Li Qingqian sat down in silence, with a bad feeling in her heart, but she still tried to stay calm: her purpose of coming to Beiyuan was not pure, so she had to stay calm and not let others see the flaws too early.

About an incense stick later, Jiang Huairong came to the room.

As the door was pushed open, Li Qingqian couldn't help but look at the person in front of him.

Only then did I realize that Jiang Huairong had become a little different.

When she was in Dawei, although her beauty was unquestionable, she always had a hint of sickness, like a weak willow swaying in the wind.

But Jiang Huairong at this moment was not the same as before.

She was dressed like the Queen of Beiyuan. Her dress was embroidered with a flying phoenix using Beiyuan's unique ice crystal silk. Her cloak seemed to be made of wolf skin instead of fox fur. The silver fur occasionally brushed against the snow-heart jade glass earrings hanging on her ears.

Her delicate face was like a white jade pearl, crystal clear and flawless but not as dazzling as a gem. She was like the bright moon hanging high in the sky above Beiyuan.

Jiang Huairong forced a faint smile on his face, "Madam, how are you?"

Li Qingqian just smiled faintly and said, "Greetings to the Queen."

Jiang Huairong turned his head away, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again and looked at her, asking with some amusement: "Haven't we already drawn a clear line? How dare you come to Beiyuan to see me without the order of your brother?"

Li Qingqian obviously knew everything, but she said to her innocently: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I am not here to see you. I just stopped by to pay my respects."

Jiang Huairong was even more furious. "You came to Beiyuan without permission, and with an unknown purpose. Li Qingqian, you deserve to be punished! You confessed your ill intentions so frankly. Aren't you afraid that I will exercise my power as queen and execute you?"

Seeing that she was indeed moved by him, Li Qingqian curled the corners of his mouth: "Princess, you won't."

Jiang Huairong was stunned for a moment as he hadn't heard such a name for a long time.

"Because the princess once said that we are sworn sisters." Li Qingqian smiled gently.

However, Jiang Huairong felt a complicated emotion because of these words.

Once upon a time, she was still the princess of Dawei. At the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, she could even say the phrase "golden sworn brotherhood" in front of her fiancé.

But the other party will not marry a woman. This is a very normal choice in Dawei.

It's so normal that I can't complain.

So normal that she seems like an outlier.

Jiang Huairong sneered, "Alright, let's not talk about the past. Things are different now, and you shouldn't be on the territory of Beiyuan. I will talk to the king and send you back to Dawei in a few days."

Li Qingqian suppressed his smile and shook his head firmly, "I will not leave. I came to Beiyuan with the intention of taking it into my pocket."

Her voice was not loud and the door was closed, so her voice could not be heard outside. However, Jiang Huairong was still frightened by her words.

Jiang Huairong walked over, opened the door, and said to the gatekeeper and the maid waiting for her outside: "You all go down first. I have something to say to the lady inside."

Several people looked at each other. They didn't like Jiang Huairong's identity as a Dawei person. They had to respect her because the king loved her so much.

But at this moment, they were asked to allow two older women to talk in the room, and they were really conflicted.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Jiang Huairong's expression became increasingly gloomy. "Why, since the king is not here, you don't take my words seriously? Have you forgotten what the king said in person on the first day I arrived in Beiyuan?"

They were so scared that they immediately bent down and said, "We dare not. We will leave now."

On the first day Princess Dawei came to Beiyuan, the king handed her the dagger that had been with him for more than ten years, and announced to the public that even if she wanted his head one day, the people of Beiyuan would not only not stop her, but also help her.

If Beiyuan's status in several countries was not inferior to Dawei's, they would all think that the person sitting on the throne now was a complete tyrant.

After getting the person away, Jiang Huairong closed the door tightly again.

She returned to Li Qingqian angrily and said, "Do you know how dangerous what you just said will be? Do you want to die?"

Li Qingqian said calmly: "No risk, no gain. If I were so afraid of death, how could I accomplish anything I want to do?"

Jiang Huairong didn't know what to say to her. His eyes suddenly noticed her bulging belly. He was so surprised that he was almost speechless.

"You, you are pregnant?"
