The Tsundere System Chasing Wife

A few days passed and Qingling's life was quite carefree. She received gifts almost every day, either from Concubine Zhang, the Empress, or the Emperor. Unfortunately, she couldn't take them away. Things in one time and space can only stay in one time and space. But during these quiet days, Li He was not quite right. That guy must have kept something from her. So one night, Qingling pretended to be asleep, and after Li He left, she got up and followed him. She found that he had walked to the cold palace, where there was someone waiting. It was her cousin Lin Mo.

"Is Qingling okay these days?" Lin Mo asked with some concern.

"Well, she had a very happy time in the palace today. Concubine Zhang and the Queen both liked her very much. Did you find what I asked you to look for these days?" Li He said

"Well, this is all the evidence you want. It's been so long that many things can't be verified. One thing is clear, your mother was wronged by Concubine An. It was Concubine An who deceived your mother's trust and found someone to buy poison behind her back. She poisoned the second prince and then framed everything on Concubine Gao. When all the evidence pointed to Concubine Gao, she couldn't explain it. Are you... okay? Li He." Lin Mo was afraid that Li He would find it difficult to accept the truth. How uncomfortable would it be for anyone to know the truth but not be able to clear their mother's name? When he comforted Li He, he found that he was not that uncomfortable. Li He looked at the cold palace indifferently, as if he saw Concubine Gao and Aunt Feng smiling, and a line of tears slid down his delicate cheeks.

"My mother never complained about how hard her life was, nor did she blame me. Even though she didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes every day, she would gently teach him to write. She never got violent with me. She never scolded me. Her greatest wish in life was that I could live well. She was such a gentle person, but her ending shouldn't be like this..."

"Third Prince, you still have a long future ahead of you, so don't do anything stupid." Lin Mo guessed that Li He would do something stupid to avenge Gao Guiren, and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"No, the future...there is no future. It's pitch black in front of me. I can't see the road ahead, nor do I want to see it. My mother told me to live well when she died, but how can I be at peace if I don't do something for her! Thank you, Lin Mo, and Prime Minister Su for what you have done for me. I want to complete the rest by myself." Li He shouted angrily, and his tone gradually softened when he saw Lin Mo's worried eyes. He didn't want to implicate anyone this time.

"Third Prince! Stop thinking so much, okay? Fighting alone, who do you think you are? A hero? The power of one person is always limited. I am here to help you this time, and it can be regarded as giving justice to the noble man."

Li He looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. He couldn't even imagine that someone would help him now. He was just a prince with an empty title.

"Lin Mo! Thank you... Thank you so much... If this fails, I will never drag you down! If this succeeds, I will definitely remember your kindness today and will never forget it."

Li He bowed deeply to Lin Mo, and Lin Mo quickly supported Li He.

"No, it's getting late. The Third Prince should go back and rest early."

"Well, you should go back and rest earlier."

Qing Ling, who was hiding in the bushes, heard everything clearly. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Li He. How old was he? He had suffered torture in his previous life and was isolated and helpless. He finally got rid of Concubine An, but he didn't know what it meant to like someone or let go. It wasn't until he met Su Yan that he became stubborn and insisted on marrying Su Yan. He just wanted to catch that ray of light, but he used the wrong method and hurt Su Yan and himself. This time, with the help of Prime Minister Lin Mosu, he knew the truth faster. He was not fostered by the emperor under the name of Concubine An, but he still felt that there was no one around him who could help him. He felt as if he was in quicksand, and he was swallowed up little by little as time went by. He finally met a hand that could pull him ashore, but he was hesitant and didn't dare to touch it. Such a Li He is really distressing.

When Li He returned to the palace, he opened Qingling's door to see how she was sleeping. He then quietly covered her with the quilt that Qingling had kicked over. Then he returned to his own room.

As soon as Li He left, Qing Ling opened her eyes immediately. Fortunately, she ran fast. If Li He found out that she was not there, he would not know what excuse to make.

The next day, Qingling, relying on her excellent and small physical strength, successfully found the palace where Concubine An lived. She saw a little palace maid lying on the ground, tortured beyond recognition, covered in blood, while Concubine An stood in front of the palace maid and sneered as if nothing had happened.

"Do you know what you did wrong, fish?"

The maid named Yu'er naturally didn't know what she did wrong. She was just combing Concubine An's hair as usual, but Concubine An suddenly asked someone to come up and beat her severely. Yu'er was trembling and shouting hoarsely, "Mercy, mercy!" The more she shouted, the more excited Concubine An became. She stepped on Yu'er's hand with more and more force until Yu'er fainted from the pain.

"It's useless. You thought you could hold out a little longer. Someone, drag him out and throw him far away. Don't dirty my eyes."

"Yes!"

After that, several eunuchs dragged the two away, and other palace maids quickly picked up things to clean up the blood on the ground. After a while, it was as if nothing had happened. The palace maids looked at Concubine An with fear, and they were really afraid that they would be the next one.

Concubine An signaled with her eyes that all the palace maids and eunuchs should leave. Only she and her personal maid Achun were left in the entire palace. She looked at her personal maid Achun and said coldly.

"What has Li He been doing recently? Have you found out what Ah Chun asked you to send someone to investigate?"

Ah Chun walked straight up and said.

"My lady, Li He is either reading a book or playing with that bitch from the Zhang family. He has a lot of fun every day."

"You useless thing, why are you asking about these things every day? What's the point? A few days ago, because of that little bitch, His Majesty disliked me. Is it really impossible to get it back? His Majesty seemed to have forgotten me these days and never came to see me. At least he used to ask about me occasionally. It's all because of that little bitch! I want her to die a miserable death!" Concubine An roared. Ah Chun knelt on the ground immediately after seeing this. Although she was Concubine An's personal maid, Concubine An's temper had become even more violent recently because of Qingling's matter, and it was inevitable that she would lose her temper.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! I have an idea. Why don't we do it like before, by putting something there to poison that little bitch to death, and then let Li He take the blame. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone!" Ah Chun knelt on the ground and said with his head down.

"Li He has a good relationship with that bitch, who would suspect him. Do you think others are stupid?" Concubine An frowned and looked at Achun as if she was a fool.

"No, Li He has never been welcomed since he was a child. Since he returned to the palace, everyone's attention has been drawn to the little bitch, so he began to hate her and wished she would die sooner. How about using the least common poison, Bixue? By then, only Li He will have it in the entire palace! What will others think of him! What do you think, Madam!"

"Bixue, a drug that can kill people instantly is really good, but it's a pity that the little bitch died for no reason, it's really a bargain for her. But your suggestion is good as a reward." After saying this, Concubine An gave a gold bracelet to Ah Chun, who happily took it and kept saying words to please Concubine An. The two of them didn't notice Qing Ling eavesdropping in the corner.

Qing Ling looked at the two people with disgust and turned away. They were indeed people without conscience. They looked like decent human beings but were extremely disgusting.
