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

Inside the house, Liu looked at Li Shuyue with horror in her eyes, "You, how did you know that?"

Li Shuyue was holding a teacup. She glanced at her calmly and said, "It doesn't matter where you got the information from. What's important is that you, mother, know that your daughter is of the same mind as you."

This matter was told to me personally by Liu in my previous life.

At that time, Li Qingqian became the queen and she felt unbalanced. In order to appease her, Liu told this story to Li Shuyue as a joke.

However, Li Shuyue couldn't even tell her mother about her rebirth.

But for Liu, it is of course important where she knew it, because it means that someone around her must have betrayed her, so she told Shu Yue about it!

Liu's thoughts rolled around in her mind. She grabbed Li Shuyue's shoulders and asked excitedly, "Did Yuluo tell you?"

If it was Yu Luo who said that, then it is very likely that she would also tell Li Qingqian.

But Yu Luo was just a little kid who knew nothing back then, and I didn't give her any important tasks, so how could it be her?

Suddenly, Liu thought of someone again, and she suddenly realized: "Did the Chen family tell you? Tell me quickly, is it her?"

Li Shuyue slapped her hand away impatiently, "Who are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

"You were young at the time, so you may not remember. The Nanny Chen who came with me as a dowry later remarried to the one in Yunzhou. Didn't you receive a tree shipped from Yunzhou two years ago? Think about it and think about whether it was her!"

Seeing that Liu was almost hoarse, Li Shuyue thought about it with a look of disgust, and it seemed that there was such a person.

But I know this, it wasn't told to me by Nanny Chen.

"Instead of dwelling on who told me this, mother should think about how to deal with this matter."

She brought up this matter only to make Liu devote all her heart and soul to planning for her, and she did not want the truth to be exposed one day and become the biggest obstacle on her road to becoming the mother of the country.

Liu ignored her words and just thought about some past events that should have been forgotten long ago.

That woman had been dead for almost sixteen years. I had gone to great lengths to make everyone believe that she had died of childbirth complications.

We finally cleared the obstacles, how can we allow people to dig up those old things again?

"No, we still have to send someone to Yunzhou to resolve the matter once and for all."

Li Shuyue looked at her expression and guessed that she was thinking about how to get rid of Nanny Chen in Yunzhou.

This is better, so I don’t have to worry about it in the future.

However, is it really that easy to get rid of the people in Yunzhou?

*

The carriage gradually drove towards the palace. Yun Yi sat on one side and said to Li Qingqian, "Don't worry, Miss. The people in Yunzhou have already taken good care of it. The Liu family can't afford to hire a better assassin for Liu. I guarantee that Nanny Chen will be unharmed."

Li Qingqian nodded. If she wanted the other party to be truly loyal to her, she had to lend a helping hand even when the other party was in danger.

This is just her first step.

Yun Shang sat aside and asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time: "Miss, you have always known that it was Liu who killed the late Madam, why didn't you just kill her? And how did you know that the fourth lady also knew about this?"

Li Qingqian smiled slightly and asked instead of answering: "What do you think Liu and Li Shuyue care about most?"

Yun Shang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and replied, "Of course it's power, status, and fame."

"Yes," Li Qingqian raised a mysterious arc at the corner of her mouth, "Now that I have Shen Changyun, it would be easy to get rid of her directly, but wouldn't that be too easy for her? I have to lift her up high first, and then let her fall hard when she thinks she is in high spirits."

Yun Shang didn't understand why the girl who was kind and gentle before became so gloomy after returning to Beijing.

But in her eyes, her own girl could do no wrong. Besides, now that Master Shen was responsible for leading the girl astray, no matter how much loss Liu suffered at the hands of the girl in the future, it would be her own fault.

As they were about to reach the palace, Li Qingqian suddenly remembered something. She looked at Yun Shang and said, "You have been in the capital for quite a long time. Do you still remember whether father wanted to marry me to the seventh prince?"

Yunyi and Yunshang looked at each other and then said, "Yunshang told me about this. It was about a year after the young lady left home that the master came to talk to the old lady about this matter. At that time, the fourth young lady had been coveting the marriage of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion for a long time, and Liu Shi often whispered in the old master's ear."

Yun Shang glanced at her and added, "But the master must have his own thoughts. I'm sure you know that the Seventh Prince has always been the least popular prince in the palace, so..."

Yun Shang didn't dare to finish her words, but Li Qingqian could guess the rest.

The Seventh Prince was in decline and must have been bullied a lot in the palace. Growing up in such an environment, there are only two possibilities:

First, he was timid all his life and was willing to stay in the palace as an unwelcome prince;

Secondly, he was unwilling to accept the arrangement of fate and had his own ideas. He was willing to give it a try to fight for the position of the emperor so that no one in the world would dare to look down on him anymore.

Li Zhengkang is betting on the latter.

Ever since she met the Seventh Prince and sent him a tray of snacks, she would see him in some subsequent scenes.

Li Qingqian could control herself from having a close relationship with him, but she couldn't stop the Seventh Prince from always looking at her.

It seems that Li Zhengkang is using himself as a bet. If he gives himself to the Seventh Prince, it would be a preliminary attempt to win him over.

Once the Seventh Prince has that idea, Li Zhengkang will use his power to help him. It will be a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

For Li Zhengkang, it was a good deal to sacrifice a daughter in exchange for the status of father-in-law.

Li Qingqian's eyes dimmed. It was a pity that Shen Changyun had disrupted his plans.

Compared to the uncertain Seventh Prince, the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is more attractive.

Perhaps it was after he returned to Beijing and made an engagement with Shen Changyun that Li Zhengkang changed his mind and prepared to follow the prince.

Li Qingqian didn't want to think about Li Zhengkang's affairs, she was just a little curious about the seventh prince.

Yun Shang frowned slightly and said in a tangled way, "In fact, there is another hidden story behind what happened back then. After receiving the hint from the master, the Seventh Prince seemed very happy. He changed his timid and withdrawn personality and even sneaked out of the palace in the middle of the night and came to the Li Mansion with the engagement letter to try to exchange. However, you were not in the mansion at that time, so the old lady stopped the master and then asked the master to suppress the matter. Therefore, apart from the old lady and the master, almost no one knew about it."

Seeing Li Qingqian's brows move slightly, it seems that he is thinking about something.

Yun Shang added with some embarrassment: "It's strange, Master Shen didn't have an attack at that time, but a year later, exactly a year before the young lady returned to Beijing, he suddenly came to visit the master. I don't know what they talked about behind closed doors, but after that, the master never allowed anyone to ask about that matter again. The old lady told me about this matter, and she asked me to take good care of the young lady and not let you get involved in this matter again."

So even after returning to Beijing for so long, Yun Shang never told her about this matter.

Perhaps if Li Qingqian didn't ask, Yun Shang would have kept the matter completely to herself.

But when Li Qingqian heard her say this, he became even more confused.

It sounds like the Seventh Prince likes me. Considering what the Fifth Princess revealed before, that he even has a portrait of me, this kind of liking for me must be no less stubborn than Shen Changyun's.

Since he could sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night, why didn't the Seventh Prince secretly show up at the New Year's Eve banquet? Isn't that contradictory?

Moreover, when in the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess had mentioned to herself that Shen Changyun used to be one of the few people in the royal family who would not exclude the Seventh Prince, but starting this year, Shen Changyun's attitude towards the Seventh Prince changed drastically.

But why didn't Shen Changyun get angry right away, but instead delayed the matter for a whole year? Could he be so tolerant?

There were only two possibilities for why the Seventh Prince did not show up at the New Year's Eve palace banquet: either he did not want to come and did not want to see himself and Shen Changyun together; or he simply could not come!

A bad thought suddenly flashed through Li Qingqian's mind. She grabbed Yun Shang's arm and asked, "Besides sneaking out of the palace in the middle of the night, has the Seventh Prince made any other serious mistakes in the past few years?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "No. Our Li Mansion is a first-rank official household. When the master learns of any major events in the palace, he will come back to discuss with the old lady, and the old lady will also pick up some harmless little things to make us happy. I haven't heard that the Seventh Prince has made any major mistakes. On the contrary, His Majesty's attitude towards the Seventh Prince seems to be not as bad as before in recent years."

That's strange. Although he was born to a palace maid, the Seventh Prince is your Majesty's biological son after all. Since he didn't commit any serious mistakes, what is the reason that your Majesty is even unwilling to let the Seventh Prince attend the palace banquet?

Rather than the fact that the Seventh Prince himself was unwilling to come to the palace banquet, for some reason, Li Qingqian inexplicably believed that there was another reason - the Seventh Prince was unable to be there at all.

Li Qingqian felt even more uneasy.
