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

"But this is only the current situation. Do you remember the first time we went out, I was called away by His Majesty?" Shen Changyun said, "In fact, since then, His Majesty has been determined to take action against Beiyuan."

Li Qingqian was a little puzzled. "Even if Beiyuan is disloyal, it has at least coexisted peacefully with Dawei on the surface for so many years. Could it be that the emperor wants to take over Beiyuan while it is still unaware of their intentions towards Zhongyuan?"

"That's right." Shen Changyun nodded.

Although Dawei and Beiyuan have been good friends for many years, they are not unaware of each other's character.

When Dawei was first founded and the remnants of the previous dynasty still had the intention of rebellion, Beiyuan had used the same trick. First he rescued those people and then tried to frame the people of Xiliang.

The purpose is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers, and gain benefits from it.

After all, the Central Plains is a fertile land. The previous dynasty was short of military force, and Dawei's foundation was unstable at the beginning.

If the two sides continue to fight and both suffer losses in the end, the ones who will benefit in the end will be the people of Beiyuan who have been eyeing the Central Plains.

However, due to an accident that year, Xiliang did not suffer the disaster from Beiyuan. Instead, those unlucky people in Southern Xinjiang fell into the trap of the people from Beiyuan. The feud between Dawei and Southern Xinjiang was formed at that time.

Today, Dawei is truly surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Shen Changyun slowly revealed the truth: "Beiyuan proposed to His Majesty that the two countries exchange hostages in order to establish a deeper friendship when you were still not back in Beijing in the middle of last year."

"Ridiculous!" Li Qingqian cursed in a low voice, "I have only heard of foreign countries offering hostages to the Central Plains to show their loyalty. Even in the previous dynasty, there was absolutely no reason for the Central Plains to send hostages to foreign countries."

Shen Changyun nodded, the gloom in his eyes becoming more intense, "But, Your Majesty once thought of sending a hostage."

Li Qingqian frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance creeping up her brows, "Does he want to send a proton over to steal the secrets of the mysterious forces in Beiyuan?"

Shen Changyun picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip without denying it.

Her eyes darkened. She knew a thing or two about Beiyuan's scandal in her previous life.

I heard that Beiyuan is not as good as Dawei. It is far away, cold, snowy all year round, and the food reserves are not as good as Dawei.

There are many people who eat raw meat and drink blood, and many of them are crazy.

Especially in the royal family of Beiyuan, it was common for a woman to serve three generations of a family. It was not uncommon for a father-in-law to snatch his daughter-in-law and a son to seize his father's concubine. Even biological brothers and sisters or sisters being lovers was not uncommon.

Not only that, I have also heard that men in Beiyuan like to have sex with male paramours.

This time the hostage goes there, he will most likely become a plaything of the new king of Beiyuan.

After all, even if the proton was killed, their current majesty would most likely not break the last layer of window paper for his son.

The first person that popped up in her mind was: "The Seventh Prince."

Shen Changyun put down his teacup and looked at her with a smile on his face, "How do you know it will be him?"

"His biological mother was a palace maid who died after giving birth to him, so His Majesty dislikes the Seventh Prince very much. Moreover," Li Qingqian said this with an inexplicable guilty feeling, "Li Zhengkang once intended for His Majesty to grant a marriage between me and the Seventh Prince."

The seventh prince is the one with the least foundation in the palace. If Li Zhengkang promises himself to him, there will be more hope in the court.

If the Seventh Prince works hard and ascends to the throne with his secret support, then the Li family will naturally get what they want.

Even if he couldn't get the seat, Li Zhengkang would abandon this useless chess piece at the first opportunity and continue to be the prime minister, second only to the emperor.

Li Zhengkang is a useful person, the Seventh Prince is an annoying person, and the old emperor knows how to make choices to maximize benefits.

Sending the seventh prince as a hostage can not only make this annoying person go away, but also make him out of sight, out of mind.

It can also serve as a warning to others and remind people in the court not to forget that they are still subjects.

"The protons from Beiyuan have been delivered, but Zhongyuan will not let them pass." A gleam flashed in Shen Changyun's eyes.

Li Qingqian understood in her heart, "The key point is that the eldest brother was injured this time. Originally, Beiyuan couldn't help but want to cause some trouble for Dawei, but if we seize this point, it is equivalent to pinching Beiyuan's feet. So the Liu family will definitely not survive this spring."

Shen Changyun stuffed his teacup into her hand. She didn't know whether she didn't notice or was indulging him, and she took a big sip from the place where he was about to drink.

Li Qingqian finally calmed down her anger and turned to look at Shen Changyun. She saw that he looked a little embarrassed and his ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.

Asked: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, cough." He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, "Qianqian, you seem very angry."

"Of course I'm angry," Li Qingqian said angrily, "My eldest brother left home when he was 18 years old. He fought bloody battles and galloped on the battlefield for three years. When he returned, he not only had achievements, but also had shocking injuries. He was a man who had never been worthy of his country and his king, but even his injuries became part of someone else's calculation. I hate the old emperor's cruelty and cold-bloodedness, and I hate the Liu family and the people of Beiyuan even more."

Shen Changyun sighed softly, gently held the girl in his arms, patted her back again and again, and comforted her silently.

Beiyuanren and Liu Chengyin had left long ago. Li Qingqian felt even more aggrieved for having received such comfort unexpectedly. She began to sob and finally even cried out loud.

"Qianqian, I know you feel wronged. You can cry in my arms without worry," Shen Changyun hugged his tearful wife lovingly, "You will feel better after crying."

Li Qingqian's heart trembled slightly. It was probably not long ago that Shen Changyun told her like a madman that only he could comfort her.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

She seemed to feel that something was changing quietly.

For example, her understanding of herself.

Maybe I am not a dull and boring person. Maybe I have had the same personality as Shen Changyun since my previous life.

Li Qingqian left Shen Changyun's arms and looked at his handsome face. She could clearly feel the pain in her heart, which was much more intense than the previous several times combined.

But Li Qingqian did not intend to back down.

She lifted Shen Changyun's chin, and her red lips fell on his forehead, eyes, and nose. Finally, she could no longer control the temptation, and taking advantage of her current mood, she kissed the softness between his lips.

Shen Changyun's eyes suddenly lit up with shock. He swears to God, he really just wanted to comfort Qianqian and had no improper thoughts.

But wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I don’t take back the initiative now, and continue to let the little girl invade me at will?

Will she use this to harm herself in the future?

No, I can't lose my dignity as a man. I must let her know who is the head of the family.

Just when Shen Changyun was gathering up the courage to take the initiative, Li Qingqian lifted his chin and quietly moved the hand to the back of his head, while the other hand wrapped around his strong waist, forcing himself to stick close to her.

From light to deep, he was breathless from her kiss. The quiet and dim space allowed the ambiguous factor to spread unbridled.

He moved, trying to turn over, but Li Qingqian pulled him back and kissed him even more passionately.

The sweet and smooth saliva caressed between the entangled tongues. His mind was blank and he just closed his eyes obediently, as if everything was taken for granted.

He didn't have time to think, nor did he want to think anymore, he just hugged her instinctively.

In his heart, he kept praying that Qianqian would have more compassion for him and hug him tighter and tighter.

Shen Changyun gradually forgot his original intention.

He gave up struggling, and his arms around her tightened a little, as if he wanted to imprison the person in his arms tightly in his body.

Forget it, Qianqian will be the head of the family from now on.

After an unknown amount of time, when both of them were almost out of breath, Li Qingqian finally let Shen Changyun go, and then chuckled: "Come on, we're even now about the time you took advantage of me last time."

Shen Changyun was still not satisfied and buried his head in her neck. The hot air he exhaled sprayed on her delicate skin, making Li Qingqian feel a little itchy.

"Are you just going to stop like this? Aren't you going to give me a little more?" Shen Changyun's muffled voice came.

Are you acting like a spoiled brat again?

Li Qingqian smiled and said, "No, it's only ten days anyway. If you can't bear this little effort, won't all your efforts be wasted?"

Shen Changyun wanted to cheat, "But this will suffocate your husband to death."

Li Qingqian didn't respond to his words, but slowly turned his head to look out the window, and was startled by a explosion outside.

Then, she looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky and grinned at Shen Changyun: "Happy New Year, Yunlang."

Shen Changyun then raised his head and held her cheek, looking at her with tenderness in his eyes, "Happy New Year, Qianqian, welcome home."
