, he and Concubine Ning are somewhat inexplicably involved. "Li Qingning said in a low voice.
The person in the mirror smiled, "This is what His Highness guessed, not what I said."
Li Qing glanced at her, "Isn't that what you mean? Fortunately, there is no you in the harem. Otherwise, with your ability, you would not only be able to cholera the harem, but also cholera the court."
Xianyu's eyes dimmed, and Li Qingning sat there in her previous life. She was soft and stubborn for a long time, begging Li Qingning to admit her into the palace, but Li Qingning said: "It is unreasonable for a woman to ascend to the throne. Wouldn't it be a mess?"
Yes, her eldest princess is indeed very well-behaved.
But later she realized that Li Qingning didn't do that not because she was afraid of going against common sense, but because she didn't want to drag her into this quagmire.
Half of her feet were already covered with mud, and Li Qingning wanted her to get away completely.
The person in the mirror lowered his eyes, and the bright eyes just dimmed suddenly.
Li Qingning was stunned for a moment, and was stunned to feel that Xian Yu's eyes seemed to be covered with water mist, as if she was about to cry, and she didn't know if the thick fog had diffused again to cover her eyes, or it was because the mirror was not very clean.
Xian Yu bit her lower lip, her eyelashes twitched, and said slowly: "If His Highness can sit in that position one day, will I be in the harem?"
"You..." Li Qingning lost her voice for a while, and then said after a while: "You can't say this nonsense."
Xian Yu said in a low voice: "Although I can't see, I know that there are only you and me in the room, and no one is approaching even outside the room, so naturally I won't put His Highness at a disadvantage. Besides, I didn't talk nonsense, Your Highness is now Don’t you do all kinds of things to sit in that position?”
Li Qingning was taken aback when she heard the words, her red lips moved, and she said without hesitation: "No."
Really not, how does her own heart think, does she still not understand.
Through the mirror, Xian Yu saw Li Qingning's eyes closed, his chin raised slightly, the angle of his jaw and shoulders were tense, and his pupils moved slightly under his closed eyelids.
"No." After a while, Li Qingning squeezed out two more words from between her lips and teeth.
Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, then bent his index finger to dig his palm, pretending to be indifferent and teased: "It's not because of that position, could it be..."
After a pause, she pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth and said in a low voice, "Could it be for me?"
Her voice came out from the rough mirror, the voice was vague and somewhat distorted.
But Li Qingning could hear clearly, her eyes hadn't opened yet, but Dan's lips slowly opened a little, and a solitary sound escaped from her lips, "Yes."
It was for her indeed.
At first, she just wanted to protect herself and live a good life, but after learning about all kinds of past lives, she felt that she should give Xian Yu an explanation, as well as the desires in her heart in this life.
In the previous life, it was her miscalculation, and it was her losing to others that caused Xian Yu to sacrifice her life to do a lot for her. In this life, she must never be like the previous life. Only by sitting in that position can she save her life and give Xian Yu more.
At that time, Jiangshan will be hers, and it will also be Xianyu's.
Whatever Xian Yu wants, she can give her. Even if she wants the stars and moons in the sky, she will try to take them off.
Li Qingning raised her jaw and lowered it, her closed eyes slowly opened, the coldness in her eyes could not be concealed before Xian Yu's eyes were fully exposed.
Xian Yu was stunned, she didn't expect that Li Qingning's expression would change because of her teasing words.
No one knew that the eldest princess, who was as bright as a bright moon and had a pure heart, would hide such coldness and determination. Even in front of her cronies, Li Qingning never fully revealed her thoughts.
Only she knows, Xian Yu thought, only she knows.
Li Qingning saw some dazed eyes in the peach-like eyes in the mirror, she pursed her lips, as if unable to speak, she swallowed several times secretly, her thin white neck moved slightly, and said after a long time: "Indeed..."
"Really what?" Xian Yu didn't ask this time knowingly, nor did she want to embarrass Li Qingning, but she was also very eager to hear Li Qingning say it clearly.
Li Qingning turned her eyes away, and said slowly in a low voice: "Indeed, it's for you."
Xian Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, Li Qingning had never said that in her previous life.
Not for the throne, not for yourself, but for her?
"For me?" Xian Yu's eyes trembled, and he didn't recover for a long time.
She waved away the thick fog in front of her. She was very close to the mirror, but as if frightened, she backed away without a trace, her eyes dodging.
Seeing her cautious appearance, Li Qingning felt as if a knife had pierced her heart. He didn't believe her so much, so he secretly avoided a few inches.
This time, Xian Yu didn't act like she pretended on Weifeng Island, she really looked like a little red-haired magpie, which made Li Qingning feel that she seemed very timid, and a gust of wind could scare her away.
Thinking about it this way, Xian Yu really cared about her very, very, very much, otherwise, how could he just show such a trembling look in front of her.
In her previous life, Xian Yu must have been the lord of the Cease Fire Palace, and she must have been resolute and powerful. Such an arrogant and strong person, for her sake, repeatedly posed low and showed her soft and delicate side.
This is why she doesn't regret it, how can she not give an explanation.
What was owed in the previous life will be repaid in this life, and a heart will also be repaid to her.
Xian Yu looked carefully at the people outside the mirror in the mirror, his eyes hid the light, obviously looking forward to it.
Li Qingning said slowly: "Yes, for you."
Xian Yu lowered her eyes, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and smiled very docilely and well-behaved.
Li Qingning's heart seemed to be pecked lightly twice with the beak of a red-haired magpie. Once her lips and tongue were dry, she couldn't help but picked up the mirror on the table.
The vermilion lips slowly approached the holding mirror, the eyes of the person in the bronze mirror slowly opened wide, seeing that the lips were about to stick to the mirror, they actually backed away an inch.
Xian Yu seldom blushed like that, even if she was touched, she would not blush all of a sudden.
She really couldn't see Li Qingning putting down her airs and holding a sincere heart in front of her. She was only allowed to tease people by herself, but she couldn't stand tenderness from others.
Maybe it was because she was not used to Li Qingning's gentle and watery appearance, she subconsciously avoided it a little bit, suddenly like a dream.
However, she was not in a dream, but in the mirror. Even if she didn't avoid a few inches, Li Qingning could only kiss a cold mirror.
Xian Yu's heart beat like a drum, and he watched Li Qingning's lips fall on the mirror.
Li Qingning moved her lips for a moment, looked down at the thick fog in the mirror and said: "Should you believe it?"
Only then did Xian Yu clear the fog and approach the mirror.
She didn't come out through the mirror, but her eyes stared at the person outside the mirror without blinking, and she put her lips on the place where Li Qingning's lips were just now.
Li Qingning held her breath for a moment, because the mirror was too small, she could only vaguely see Xianyu's pink cheeks approaching, and finally Xianyu's pale pink lips occupied most of the mirror, and her lips slowly pressed against the place where she had just dropped her lips.
Xian Yu's lips are a little thin. According to an old saying, people with thin lips are always ruthless, but if Xian Yu is ruthless, who else would be merciful?
Li Qingning pursed her lips, feeling that her lips were burning hot, but unfortunately the mirror surface was too cold and hard.
Thinking of it, she hadn't touched that piece of softness for a long time, so long that when she even recalled it, she almost couldn't recall the taste.
I just vaguely remember that it is soft, and it should be warm, it will be stained with water, and it will be soft enough for her to mess with, like mud.
Xian Yu backed away a little, and said with burning eyes: "Then, if His Highness takes that position, will there be me in His Highness's harem?"
His eyes were burning brightly, expecting but insisting on Li Qingning's affirmation.
Li Qingning didn't know how to answer, her bones had long been restricted by the rules and regulations, and she couldn't give a definite answer for a while.
But Xianyu was still looking at her like a bird begging for food.
Li Qingning choked for a moment, and said flatly: "The position is not to be discussed indiscriminately, but if you think about it, it's not impossible."
Xian Yu let out an "oh", and began to look at which palace she would choose to live in if this was the case in the future.
Forget it, of course they want to live with Li Qingning, they lived with Li Qingning when they were on the island, and naturally they also lived together in the palace.
When I think about living together, I think about what will happen when I live together, and when I think about what will happen when I live together, I feel that I am too frivolous.
She took a deep breath, her plain face blushed, and she interrupted abruptly after a long while, "I think those two are already going to the Tianshitai."
"It should be." Li Qingning paused for a moment, feeling hot all over and being suppressed forcefully.
She pursed her red lips slightly, and her brows, which were lightly sweeping like a distant mountain, were still frowning, "I just don't know whether the national teacher will send someone under his command to present the hexagram to Yuanzheng Hall, or allow those two people to bring the hexagram with him." Walk."
"Your Highness, go down and have a look." Xian Yu said, avoiding his eyes.
Li Qingning raised the teacup in her hand, brought the edge of the cup to her lips, and took another sip.
The stomach is cold.
"This matter has to be discussed in the long term." Li Qingning lowered her eyes and thought.
Xian Yu knew that Li Qingning had always been cautious in doing things, and had to think twice about everything. Although this was good, it would often miss good opportunities.
She smiled and said, "Your Highness must make up his mind quickly."
"It's a pity that there is no one I have placed on the Tianshi platform." Li Qingning bent her fingers and knocked on the table a few times, "I don't know the position of the national teacher now, but ordinary people can't see the national teacher. Then I met with the national teacher, if this matter gets out, not only the national teacher will be slandered, but the two sects will not be spared."
"As His Highness said." Xian Yu said slowly in the mirror.
Li Qingning pursed her lips again and remained silent for a long while, then raised her eyes suddenly, and there was a stern look in her pitch-black pupils, "Although there is no one like me on the Tianshi stage, there is no shortage of Li Zaiyu's eyeliner, the current national teacher is the person Li Zaiyu should trust the most .”
"Li Zaiyu didn't let those two monks follow him some time ago. He must have become suspicious. Now that several sharp arrows are on the line in the Chaozhong Palace, and the emperor still can't see the national teacher, if those two people easily Seeing the face of the national teacher will definitely put them in a deep disadvantage." Li Qingning said again.
"It seems that His Highness has already made up his mind." Xian Yu's eyes slightly curved, and he actually smiled.
Li Qingning put the teacup in her hand on the table with a bang, "The National Teacher will definitely appoint someone from the Tianshitai to send out the hexagram, but I don't know what will happen to those two people."
"If the national teacher is quick, he should have made a divination by now." Xian Yu said.
"It's time to rob." Li Qingning said calmly.
Xian Yu originally wanted to ask how to rob, but the holding mirror was picked up suddenly, and then the mirror seemed to be spinning, she was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a while.
How to rob?Of course it can't be clear.
Tianshitai is not in the palace, but in the northeast corner of the capital.
Tianshitai is close to the water and backed by mountains. It is really a good place to pray for blessings. After the founding of Dongzhou, the matter of praying came from Tianshitai.
But today, Tianshitai not only refers to the sacrificial altar, but also becomes one of the official offices of Dongzhou. It's just that people in Tianshitai don't have to go to court, and they can't easily participate in politics.The head of the national teacher lives in the national teacher's mansion, and the national teacher's mansion is also in Tianshitai.
On the way to Jieguaxiang, Li Qingning didn't sit in a chariot or a sedan chair, but moved quietly in the palace.
In just a moment, the black figure moved a hundred meters away, appearing and disappearing under the vermilion palace wall.
No one saw it, and she wouldn't let anyone see it.
Li Qingning kept her voice low as if she was muttering to herself, but she was not talking to herself, but she was talking to the person in the holding mirror, she said: "So far, many people have sat in the position of Tianshitai Guoshi, This is the one who sits the longest."
"How long?" Xian Yu hasn't considered this matter yet.
"He has been a national teacher since the first emperor succeeded to the throne. At that time, high martial arts, that is, the style of cultivation, had not yet emerged in Dongzhou. No one knew that he knew the skills of the immortal family, but he was good at divination. , If you attract the wind, you will get the wind, and if you ask for the rain, you will get the rain." Li Qingning said flatly.
She paused, and then said: "Since the first emperor, no one has seen his real face. It is only known that every time he went to the celestial master's platform to pray, he was wearing a long robe, his face was tightly covered, and even the strands of his hair were covered." Not a single one exposed."
"The first emperor should have been afraid of him. Later, he tried to help another capable man to be the national teacher. However, something strange happened. As soon as the man entered the capital, he suddenly fell into hysteria, talked wildly, and finally cut his neck and committed suicide. It's gone." Li Qingning said.
Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, "I haven't heard of this matter yet."
Li Qingning said in a deep voice: "This matter was banned later. During that period of time, there were people in the court. It was because the heavens did not recognize the latecomer as Dongzhou Guoshi, and took his life away with this method."
"Who said that? This is the gossip to confuse people." Xian Yu sneered.
"There is no way to verify it now." Li Qingning disappeared, and when she reappeared, she was a hundred meters away.
"These rumors are not groundless. It seems that the national teacher is well versed in this." Xian Yu lowered his voice in the mirror.
Li Qing thought about what Cui Ling said before he left, and felt that the National Teacher was not a simple person, "After Cui Ling left, I sent people to investigate the National Teacher's Mansion, but unfortunately several people returned without success. Not detected."
"Your Highness said earlier, how did Cui Ling die?" Xian Yu asked.
"The way is to poison the national teacher. Later, she was given the same poison and was beaten with a stick for a long time. I rescued her, but...not." Li Qing said in a deep voice.
"Could it be that the national teacher wants her to die?" Xian Yu frowned.
"I also have doubts about this." Li Qingning stopped abruptly, looked up and saw the palace gate opened in the distance, and the two monks walked in behind a little boy.
"What else did Cui Ling mention?" Xian Yu asked after thinking for a moment.
"Then there is only Helicopterus vine." Li Qingning hid in the dark, watching the little boy walking towards him with a tray covered with brocade cloth in his hand like a flying wind.
Sensing the presence of an outsider approaching, Xian Yu lowered his voice a little, "Has your Highness ever thought that the scorpion tail vine might not have been given to the emperor by the two sects, but by the national teacher?"
"Then what is the relationship between the national teacher and the two sects?" Li Qing said coldly, his eyes still fixed on the people coming from a distance.
"Perhaps, the national teacher is defrauding the two great sects and the second prince, trying to reap the benefits." Xian Yu was still thinking about the trauma he suffered in his previous life.
With such a strange and powerful aura, she really couldn't think of anyone other than the national teacher who had never shown up.
Seeing the three people approaching in the distance, Li Qingning was afraid of what the person in the mirror might say again, so she subconsciously pulled out the mirror and stroked the surface.
Neither light nor heavy, just the right amount of strength.
Xian Yu immediately closed her mouth tightly. Although her whole body was soft at that moment, she became stiff the next moment. She gritted her teeth and wanted to tease a few words, but the breath of outsiders in the distance was much closer. down.
She was grinding her teeth in the mirror, thinking that Li Qingning must have done it on purpose.
A person cannot be judged by his appearance, sea water cannot be measured, Li Qingning's face is cold and indifferent, and his thoughts are really too busy.
Chapter 82

The little boy holding the tray walked very steadily. It seemed that he had only taken a small step, but he walked very fast like a shadow in the wind.
The two monks followed closely behind, their legs and feet were not as good as that of a child, and they could barely keep up.
The tray in the boy's hand was a gold vessel. Although it was mostly covered by brocade cloth embroidered with flowers and birds, the corners were all made of gold, and a mythical mythical figure was engraved on each of the four corners.Each of the four brave ones holds a corner, and the edge of the plate is a cloud pattern, and the pattern of nocturnal flowers is worn in it.
Li Qingning frowned and watched from a distance, and suddenly realized that the brocade cloth was not ordinary brocade cloth, it was made of Lingluo brocade, and the flowers and birds on it were all embroidered with twisted gold threads.
The brocade cloth is made of extraordinary materials, it won't be damaged by fire, and it won't melt by water bubbles, and there is only one thing that can reduce it.
Lingluo brocade belongs to water, it is said that it is woven with shark hair, if it touches the ground, it will melt into it.
Xian Yu panicked in the mirror, hearing the breath coming from a distance was still a little far away, she endured the discomfort in her body, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I want to see it too."
Li Qingning lowered her eyes, she was speechless for a while, how can I show her this?
Unexpectedly, the person in the mirror said: "You lift me up, hold me high."
Li Qingning couldn't help holding her breath, and raised her head high?
After thinking about it, she simply raised her hand, turned the mirror outward, and took a picture of the three people in the distance.
No matter how you look at it, this appearance is a bit silly. How can someone hold a mirror in his hand and not take a picture of himself, but want to take a picture of others, or hide in the dark and take pictures secretly.
Li Qingning's hands were stiff, and she didn't know if the person in the mirror could see clearly, so she frowned and said, "Did you see clearly?"
"Lingluo Brocade." Xian Yu said suddenly.
Li Qingning quickly withdrew her hand, leaning her back against the red wall, and said in a low voice: "You can see it too."
"It's a gold tray, and a Lingluo brocade, and I don't know what is covered under it. Does Your Highness know what the national teacher uses for divination?" Xian Yu thought for a while but couldn't think of a reason.
"I don't know, apart from the late emperor, the only one I've ever seen is the current sage." Li Qingning said.
"I think it should belong to the same family as Lingluo brocade, and it shouldn't be afraid of water and fire, so it shouldn't be able to fall to the ground." Xian Yu frowned while thinking.
It was also the first time for her to see Lingluo brocade, such a precious thing, even in the Ceasefire Palace, and it was not easy to preserve, if one was not careful, the gold, silver and jewels spent on bartering would be wasted.
"Really?" Li Qingning's voice stopped abruptly, and she held her breath and concentrated, secretly hiding the breath of her soul.
The three of them were already close at hand.
When Li Qingning was thinking about how to rob, the mirror in her hand suddenly trembled.
She frowned, her heart skipped a beat, and she held the handle of the mirror tightly with five fingers, so that the mirror did not fall out of her hand.
The holding mirror trembled so much that it didn't take much thinking to know that it was the person in the mirror who did it.
If those three people found her whereabouts, it would be difficult to explain at that time, if not, it would arouse Li Zaiyu's suspicion of her again.
Li Qingning had no choice but to raise her hand, only to see a thick fog coiled in the mirror, a thin white hand sticking out of it, those thin white fingers moved slowly like playing a piano, slowly and dexterously.
It was Xian Yu's hand.
Something seemed to break out of the mirror, and suddenly, the thick fog in the mirror dissipated, and a gust of wind blew out from the mirror with a whirring sound.
The dead trees in the distance startled, and the wilted leaves and scorched branches rustled down.
It was already late autumn at this time, so it was not surprising that a strong wind suddenly blew up.
Xian Yu attracted and fiddled with the wind around him in the mirror, but he didn't change the direction of the wind, but made the wind that was already moving close to the ground stronger.
The wind whistled, rolled the wilted leaves and scorched branches along the palace road, and crawled along the footsteps of the three people.
Xiao Tongben was walking quite steadily, and unexpectedly leaned forward, his eyes widened suddenly, and he wanted to embrace the tray into his arms, but he didn't expect that the tray was hugged, but the things on the tray were thrown out .
Even the brocade cloth covering it fell to the ground and suddenly turned into a pool of water.
No one could see what the thing that was thrown out of the tray was, and it had already melted into water together with the brocade cloth.
The little boy threw himself on the ground, holding the gold plate and staring straight at his eyes for a long time, but after a while, the dark eyeballs turned, and they were wet for a moment, and cried with a wow stand up.
The two monks stood behind and looked at each other, they both knew that it was taboo for divination objects to fall on the ground at this time.
Li Qingning suddenly raised the mirror in her hand, only to see that the plain white hand had already been withdrawn, and the mirror was filled with thick fog, so there was no one to be seen, the person in the mirror obviously didn't want to show her head.
After a long while, the two monks in the distance still didn't realize how the little boy fell, and the little boy didn't think it was different, but just knelt on the ground in a daze, looking at the puddle of water on the ground and crying out of breath. Out of breath.
Li Qingning frowned, tucked the bronze mirror into her belt, turned around and headed for Yuanzheng Hall, not daring to delay for a moment.
On the way, she moved her tightly pursed lips and said: "How many times have I told you not to act rashly, but you keep doing it repeatedly!"
The voice coming out of the mirror was not very clear at first, but now that it was stuffed in the belt, it was even more vague, "I have a sense of proportion."
"If those two are suspicious, I don't know what to say." Li Qing said with a cold face.
"Your Highness will never be suspicious." Xian Yu said in a muffled voice, "Besides, how could I fall into His Highness' injustice?"
"I know..." Li Qingning let go of her frowning brows, let out a long sigh of relief and said slowly, "It's just that if someone finds you in the mirror, you may be very dangerous."
"It's okay, I can come and go freely in the mirror." Xian Yu smiled.
Li Qingning pursed her lips, "Those two people will definitely return to Yuanzheng Hall to report this matter to His Majesty, and the boy may not be able to escape the blame."
"It's the national teacher who didn't think carefully. It's not good to call someone. He just asked a child to deliver things. If something happens, the child will take care of it." It's fortunate that this life is different from the previous life, otherwise she must have been killed by Mrs. Tan.
"Fangxin should have sent the things to Renyi Palace, but the origin of Xian Yuelu is not very clear... Well, if it is investigated, I am afraid that it will be questioned." Li Qingning said lightly.
Xian Yu smiled in the mirror, "The Xian Yuelu in Your Highness's palace was not only given by Mr. Cheng, so why would the emperor think too much about it, but if Concubine Ning has a ghost in her heart, she will definitely be scared when she sees Xian Yuelu."
"That makes sense, but you still have to be more careful in front of Your Majesty." Li Qingning walked slowly under the vermilion palace wall, a black figure appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Approaching the Yuanzheng Hall, I saw two adults from the Imperial Medical Office kneeling outside the door from a distance, and the eunuch was passing the word from inside to outside.
Li Qingning stopped and listened quietly, only to hear Li Daren say: "The third prince's condition has improved. Now the rash and pustules on his body have not spread anymore, the high fever has subsided a little, and the head pain is no longer. Although he is still weak, I can only eat some liquid food, but I can no longer vomit after swallowing, and I can speak a few words."
The eunuch was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this servant will go in and report to His Majesty. There are so many happy events today."
The two adults had been in front of the third prince all the time, and they didn't know much about the news. They didn't know what happy event was there besides the third prince's recovery. They looked at each other and shook their heads slightly in turn.
The eunuch turned around and entered the main hall, and came out from the door after a while, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that the two adults have made merit, and if the third prince recovers, there will be a big reward, and the adults can retire."
The two adults kowtowed to the ground, put their hands flat in front of their heads, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you Your Majesty, the ministers have stepped back."
After a while, Li Qingning came out from the dark place, slowly climbed the stone steps, and walked to the gate of Yuanzheng Hall.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and when he looked into the distance, he did not see Li Qingning's chariot, and Li Qingning didn't even have a maid beside him, so he wondered, "Your Highness has been here today."
Li Qingning glanced at him indifferently, "I have something to say to Your Majesty."
"Slave will report now." The eunuch said sharply.
Li Qingning nodded slightly, and stood upright outside the main hall, without gold hairpins in her hair, but it was still luxurious, and the dignity and nobility were revealed from the bottom of her bones.
After entering the palace to report, the eunuch opened the door and came out, bowing and saying, "Please, Your Highness."
Li Qingning walked in slowly, looked up and saw that Li Zaiyu was still obsessed with his hair, frowning as if he was thinking, and took a long time to write a few words.
After getting closer, she realized that Li Zaiyu was clearly not writing a memorial, but writing something else.
Li Qingning bowed slightly, "Brother Emperor."
Li Zaiyu raised his eyes, stretched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I heard that the imperial sister ordered someone to send several cups of Xianyuelu to the Palace of Renyi. This Xianyuelu is priceless. The imperial sister has a heart."
The person in the mirror burst out laughing when she heard this, but fortunately she covered her lips so that she didn't laugh out loud, but when she laughed, the breath escaped without paying attention.
Li Qingning froze all over, slowly raised her hand, twisted her bright wrist hidden in the wide cuff, and stuffed the mirror more tightly.
Xian Yu naturally knew that Li Qingning had moved the mirror, she stood with her elbows folded in the sky and the earth in the mirror, she just thought that the emperor was very easy to fool, the Cheng family had a lot of trouble at that time, the emperor should know that too.
The reason why she remembered it was not because she cared much about the Cheng family and the General's Mansion, but because she teased Li Qingning at that time.
At that time, the Cheng family and the General's Mansion had no contact with each other, and ordinary people only knew that the two families had refunded each other's dowry and bride price a year ago, and they didn't know what happened.
Even after a year, this matter is still talked about by everyone in the court.
It was not difficult for Xian Yu to know about this matter, she sneaked into the palace again at night and entered Yangning Palace by herself.
At that time, Li Qingning was bathing in the bathing pool in the palace. The water was warm and steaming, and there were many petals floating on the surface of the water. However, the eldest princess soaked in the water seemed not quite suitable for these delicate petals. While taking a bath, his complexion was still cold.
Li Qingning never liked being served by court ladies while taking a bath, so Xian Yu easily got close to her.
The water ripples spread out, and the sound of water entered the ears clearly.
Li Qing looked back with a cold face, and saw that Xian Yu had already entered the water, the thin red dress was clinging to her body, delicate skin and exquisite figure could be vaguely seen.
Xian Yu approached her, and said with a low smile, "It's the first time I have bathed with His Highness, why is His Highness so cold?"
"Who let you in." Li Qing said coldly.
"If I want to come, I can come naturally." Xian Yu smiled softly, she approached step by step, and said against Li Qingning's back: "Your Highness is so hot."
The person covering Li Qingning's back was delicate and soft, a thin and weak one, like a vine, trying to grow on the person.
Xian Yu put his chin on her shoulder, put one hand on Li Qingning's arm, and scooped up a handful of water with the other hand, and poured it on the smooth and shaved shoulder of the person in front of him.
Li Qingning pursed her lips and did not move, she was holding back and thinking.
But the people behind her interrupted her thoughts.
Xian Yu said: "Look, Your Highness, we have such-and-such private meetings every night, which is really against the rules. Fortunately, Your Highness has no engagement, otherwise, if Your Highness regrets the marriage like the Cheng family because of me, I can't bear it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the person in front of her suddenly turned sideways, pinching her chin with her slender fingers.
Li Qing said in a cold voice: "You can't afford it?"
Xian Yu let her pinch her chin, "Your Highness wants me to be able to bear it, so I can afford it, Your Highness either."
No need to answer, the next moment, she was pressed against the wall of the pool by the person who had been holding back for a long time.
There was nowhere to escape, and the corners of his eyes were reddened by the opponent's knees.
The person holding the mirror is full of thoughts, but the person outside the mirror is talking about serious things with the current saint.
Li Qingning said: "Most Xianyue dew was brought back from Weifeng Island. Ordinary people can strengthen their health, nourish yin and nourish blood by taking it. For a moment, they thought that there were such good things in Yangning Palace, so they asked the palace staff to immediately give it to Concubine Ning. Sent."
The people standing in the hall lowered their eyes, Li Zaiyu could only see the corners of her lips slowly raised, but he didn't know that her extremely faint smile didn't reach his eyes.
Li Zaiyu nodded, "There are a lot of spirits in Weifeng Island. I also lived on the island for a while when I was young. At that time, the imperial sister was very young and was not yet old enough to go to the island."
"It's a pity that my sister went to the island several times later, and later used the Huanling Tang and the marrow-returning dew given by the emperor, but she still didn't make any progress." Li Qingning said unhurriedly.
"It's okay, even if you can't practice the skills of the immortal family, ordinary people still have the blessings of ordinary people." Li Zaiyu laughed.
Li Qingning slowly raised her eyes, glanced at the person sitting above, and was sure in her heart that Li Zaiyu shouldn't be doubting her cultivation.
"I don't know why the imperial sister came here this time." Li Zaiyu asked.
"Recently, the local government sent a fast horse to the capital to ask for help. My sister heard that the disaster in Wuli Town was serious. Some time ago, I heard that the second emperor's nephew received an order to rescue the disaster, but it was delayed due to the medical examination. I don't know the emperor. Brother now has other plans." Li Qingning's cold voice echoed in the hall.
Li Zaiyu dipped the ink and wrote two words, "The matter of Wuli Town cannot be delayed any longer, I have already considered it in my heart."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, "But let the second emperor's nephew help the disaster? The terrain in the fog is dangerous. After the earthquake, the mountain road may be blocked and it will be even more difficult to walk, and Wuxian has no experience in disaster relief. It may not be easy to carry out disaster relief. .”
"It is precisely because he has never dealt with such disasters that I sent him there. No one knows who he is. Moreover, there is no need to worry about the imperial sister who is accompanied by capable people." Li Zaiyu said in a deep voice. .
"Your sister has overstepped." Li Qingning lowered her head and said.
"The imperial sister is kind." Li Zaiyu put down his wolf hair and said.
After Li Qingning entered the main hall, she kept paying attention to the movement outside the hall. After she noticed three messy auras approaching from outside, the boulder in her heart slowly sank.
After the eunuch came in to report again, the trembling little boy holding the tray and the two monks walked into the hall one by one.
Li Qingning tilted her head slightly, and saw the little boy kneeling on the ground with a plop, holding the empty tray above his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Report to Your Majesty, the hexagram... is gone."
Xian Yu hid in the mirror and listened. She was really measured when she was flirting, and she had no intention of harming the little boy. At this moment, the third prince's condition was improving, and there was another happy event in the Palace of Renyi, so blood must never be seen in the palace.
Li Zaiyu's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "It's gone?"
The little boy trembled and said: "One, I stumbled for a while, the Tingtao beads used by the national teacher for divination fell on the ground, and it melted when it touched the soil."
The corners of Xian Yu's lips raised, and it was really as she thought, the divination thing was like the Lingluo brocade, it couldn't touch the ground, but she never thought that the thing would be Ting Taozhu.
There are so many treasures in the National Teacher's Mansion that she has never heard of, and they are all beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The National Teacher's Mansion does not know how much gold, silver and jewels have been collected from the national treasury to be so rich, and even the two masters have not received such treatment.
Li Zaiyu's face was ugly, but he didn't want to get angry. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why did the national teacher send you here?"
The little boy was trembling all over, he lowered his head and dared not make a sound.
Li Zaiyu looked at the two kneeling behind the little boy, and asked, "Based on what you can see, is what Xiantong said true?"
Those two dared not say more, they were ordered to escort the child to the Yuanzheng Hall, and if anything happened on the way, they would be indispensable, they immediately said: "It is indeed as Xiantong said."
Li Zaiyu pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, God will trouble the national teacher to do another divination. I am magnanimous, and I will spare you this time."
The three of them knelt in the hall without saying a word, and the little boy was still shivering.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't hesitate to ask the national teacher to do the math again!" Li Zaiyu sternly said.
The three of them responded quickly and got up from the ground one after another.
Seeing that they were about to go out, Li Qingning hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is better for my sister to invite the national teacher in person, and then bring it back with her own hands after getting the hexagram. The national teacher rarely has one hexagram and two divinations."
She paused for a moment, then said meaningfully: "Furthermore, if this happened suddenly, the national teacher may have something to explain. Your Majesty can feel at ease if my sister goes to the Tianshitai to invite the national teacher."
Li Zaiyu thought about it carefully, then nodded and said, "That's fine."
In this way, the person holding the gold plate became Li Qingning, while Xiao Tong and the two monks followed, walking step by step.
Li Qingning got on the chariot, and after arriving at the palace gate, she boarded the carriage on Tianshitai, and hearing the sound of the wheels turning, she staggered to Tianshitai.
Although the Tianshitai is not comparable to the imperial palace, it is also extremely luxurious. The floors are stacked and the pavilions are high and low. Every inch of the high platform is paved with jade. Outside the Tianshitai, there are flying pavilions on each side. , on which you can overlook the colorful clouds and the entire Tianshitai.
A few years ago, when Li Qingning visited the Tianshitai to pray for blessings and watch the ceremony, the Tianshitai was far less luxurious than it is now.
She frowned slightly, and her doubts grew more and more.
Pass through the Fei Pavilion, and take a carriage along the wide avenue to reach the Twelve Star Pillar.
After the twelve star pillars, there is another dotted pavilion.
The carriage stopped, and the little boy walked to the side of the carriage where Li Qingning was riding, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, go up the wooden steps on the left to the observation platform on the third floor, and the National Teacher is in the attic on the observation platform. "
Holding the tray, Li Qingning stepped on the footstool from the carriage to the ground. She raised her head slightly, followed the spiral wooden steps, and easily saw the attic on the third-floor viewing platform.
Xian Yu stayed in the mirror, and as Li Qingning stepped up the wooden steps, she felt that the air around her seemed to be thinner.
The person in the mirror smiled, "This is what His Highness guessed, not what I said."
Li Qing glanced at her, "Isn't that what you mean? Fortunately, there is no you in the harem. Otherwise, with your ability, you would not only be able to cholera the harem, but also cholera the court."
Xianyu's eyes dimmed, and Li Qingning sat there in her previous life. She was soft and stubborn for a long time, begging Li Qingning to admit her into the palace, but Li Qingning said: "It is unreasonable for a woman to ascend to the throne. Wouldn't it be a mess?"
Yes, her eldest princess is indeed very well-behaved.
But later she realized that Li Qingning didn't do that not because she was afraid of going against common sense, but because she didn't want to drag her into this quagmire.
Half of her feet were already covered with mud, and Li Qingning wanted her to get away completely.
The person in the mirror lowered his eyes, and the bright eyes just dimmed suddenly.
Li Qingning was stunned for a moment, and was stunned to feel that Xian Yu's eyes seemed to be covered with water mist, as if she was about to cry, and she didn't know if the thick fog had diffused again to cover her eyes, or it was because the mirror was not very clean.
Xian Yu bit her lower lip, her eyelashes twitched, and said slowly: "If His Highness can sit in that position one day, will I be in the harem?"
"You..." Li Qingning lost her voice for a while, and then said after a while: "You can't say this nonsense."
Xian Yu said in a low voice: "Although I can't see, I know that there are only you and me in the room, and no one is approaching even outside the room, so naturally I won't put His Highness at a disadvantage. Besides, I didn't talk nonsense, Your Highness is now Don’t you do all kinds of things to sit in that position?”
Li Qingning was taken aback when she heard the words, her red lips moved, and she said without hesitation: "No."
Really not, how does her own heart think, does she still not understand.
Through the mirror, Xian Yu saw Li Qingning's eyes closed, his chin raised slightly, the angle of his jaw and shoulders were tense, and his pupils moved slightly under his closed eyelids.
"No." After a while, Li Qingning squeezed out two more words from between her lips and teeth.
Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, then bent his index finger to dig his palm, pretending to be indifferent and teased: "It's not because of that position, could it be..."
After a pause, she pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth and said in a low voice, "Could it be for me?"
Her voice came out from the rough mirror, the voice was vague and somewhat distorted.
But Li Qingning could hear clearly, her eyes hadn't opened yet, but Dan's lips slowly opened a little, and a solitary sound escaped from her lips, "Yes."
It was for her indeed.
At first, she just wanted to protect herself and live a good life, but after learning about all kinds of past lives, she felt that she should give Xian Yu an explanation, as well as the desires in her heart in this life.
In the previous life, it was her miscalculation, and it was her losing to others that caused Xian Yu to sacrifice her life to do a lot for her. In this life, she must never be like the previous life. Only by sitting in that position can she save her life and give Xian Yu more.
At that time, Jiangshan will be hers, and it will also be Xianyu's.
Whatever Xian Yu wants, she can give her. Even if she wants the stars and moons in the sky, she will try to take them off.
Li Qingning raised her jaw and lowered it, her closed eyes slowly opened, the coldness in her eyes could not be concealed before Xian Yu's eyes were fully exposed.
Xian Yu was stunned, she didn't expect that Li Qingning's expression would change because of her teasing words.
No one knew that the eldest princess, who was as bright as a bright moon and had a pure heart, would hide such coldness and determination. Even in front of her cronies, Li Qingning never fully revealed her thoughts.
Only she knows, Xian Yu thought, only she knows.
Li Qingning saw some dazed eyes in the peach-like eyes in the mirror, she pursed her lips, as if unable to speak, she swallowed several times secretly, her thin white neck moved slightly, and said after a long time: "Indeed..."
"Really what?" Xian Yu didn't ask this time knowingly, nor did she want to embarrass Li Qingning, but she was also very eager to hear Li Qingning say it clearly.
Li Qingning turned her eyes away, and said slowly in a low voice: "Indeed, it's for you."
Xian Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, Li Qingning had never said that in her previous life.
Not for the throne, not for yourself, but for her?
"For me?" Xian Yu's eyes trembled, and he didn't recover for a long time.
She waved away the thick fog in front of her. She was very close to the mirror, but as if frightened, she backed away without a trace, her eyes dodging.
Seeing her cautious appearance, Li Qingning felt as if a knife had pierced her heart. He didn't believe her so much, so he secretly avoided a few inches.
This time, Xian Yu didn't act like she pretended on Weifeng Island, she really looked like a little red-haired magpie, which made Li Qingning feel that she seemed very timid, and a gust of wind could scare her away.
Thinking about it this way, Xian Yu really cared about her very, very, very much, otherwise, how could he just show such a trembling look in front of her.
In her previous life, Xian Yu must have been the lord of the Cease Fire Palace, and she must have been resolute and powerful. Such an arrogant and strong person, for her sake, repeatedly posed low and showed her soft and delicate side.
This is why she doesn't regret it, how can she not give an explanation.
What was owed in the previous life will be repaid in this life, and a heart will also be repaid to her.
Xian Yu looked carefully at the people outside the mirror in the mirror, his eyes hid the light, obviously looking forward to it.
Li Qingning said slowly: "Yes, for you."
Xian Yu lowered her eyes, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and smiled very docilely and well-behaved.
Li Qingning's heart seemed to be pecked lightly twice with the beak of a red-haired magpie. Once her lips and tongue were dry, she couldn't help but picked up the mirror on the table.
The vermilion lips slowly approached the holding mirror, the eyes of the person in the bronze mirror slowly opened wide, seeing that the lips were about to stick to the mirror, they actually backed away an inch.
Xian Yu seldom blushed like that, even if she was touched, she would not blush all of a sudden.
She really couldn't see Li Qingning putting down her airs and holding a sincere heart in front of her. She was only allowed to tease people by herself, but she couldn't stand tenderness from others.
Maybe it was because she was not used to Li Qingning's gentle and watery appearance, she subconsciously avoided it a little bit, suddenly like a dream.
However, she was not in a dream, but in the mirror. Even if she didn't avoid a few inches, Li Qingning could only kiss a cold mirror.
Xian Yu's heart beat like a drum, and he watched Li Qingning's lips fall on the mirror.
Li Qingning moved her lips for a moment, looked down at the thick fog in the mirror and said: "Should you believe it?"
Only then did Xian Yu clear the fog and approach the mirror.
She didn't come out through the mirror, but her eyes stared at the person outside the mirror without blinking, and she put her lips on the place where Li Qingning's lips were just now.
Li Qingning held her breath for a moment, because the mirror was too small, she could only vaguely see Xianyu's pink cheeks approaching, and finally Xianyu's pale pink lips occupied most of the mirror, and her lips slowly pressed against the place where she had just dropped her lips.
Xian Yu's lips are a little thin. According to an old saying, people with thin lips are always ruthless, but if Xian Yu is ruthless, who else would be merciful?
Li Qingning pursed her lips, feeling that her lips were burning hot, but unfortunately the mirror surface was too cold and hard.
Thinking of it, she hadn't touched that piece of softness for a long time, so long that when she even recalled it, she almost couldn't recall the taste.
I just vaguely remember that it is soft, and it should be warm, it will be stained with water, and it will be soft enough for her to mess with, like mud.
Xian Yu backed away a little, and said with burning eyes: "Then, if His Highness takes that position, will there be me in His Highness's harem?"
His eyes were burning brightly, expecting but insisting on Li Qingning's affirmation.
Li Qingning didn't know how to answer, her bones had long been restricted by the rules and regulations, and she couldn't give a definite answer for a while.
But Xianyu was still looking at her like a bird begging for food.
Li Qingning choked for a moment, and said flatly: "The position is not to be discussed indiscriminately, but if you think about it, it's not impossible."
Xian Yu let out an "oh", and began to look at which palace she would choose to live in if this was the case in the future.
Forget it, of course they want to live with Li Qingning, they lived with Li Qingning when they were on the island, and naturally they also lived together in the palace.
When I think about living together, I think about what will happen when I live together, and when I think about what will happen when I live together, I feel that I am too frivolous.
She took a deep breath, her plain face blushed, and she interrupted abruptly after a long while, "I think those two are already going to the Tianshitai."
"It should be." Li Qingning paused for a moment, feeling hot all over and being suppressed forcefully.
She pursed her red lips slightly, and her brows, which were lightly sweeping like a distant mountain, were still frowning, "I just don't know whether the national teacher will send someone under his command to present the hexagram to Yuanzheng Hall, or allow those two people to bring the hexagram with him." Walk."
"Your Highness, go down and have a look." Xian Yu said, avoiding his eyes.
Li Qingning raised the teacup in her hand, brought the edge of the cup to her lips, and took another sip.
The stomach is cold.
"This matter has to be discussed in the long term." Li Qingning lowered her eyes and thought.
Xian Yu knew that Li Qingning had always been cautious in doing things, and had to think twice about everything. Although this was good, it would often miss good opportunities.
She smiled and said, "Your Highness must make up his mind quickly."
"It's a pity that there is no one I have placed on the Tianshi platform." Li Qingning bent her fingers and knocked on the table a few times, "I don't know the position of the national teacher now, but ordinary people can't see the national teacher. Then I met with the national teacher, if this matter gets out, not only the national teacher will be slandered, but the two sects will not be spared."
"As His Highness said." Xian Yu said slowly in the mirror.
Li Qingning pursed her lips again and remained silent for a long while, then raised her eyes suddenly, and there was a stern look in her pitch-black pupils, "Although there is no one like me on the Tianshi stage, there is no shortage of Li Zaiyu's eyeliner, the current national teacher is the person Li Zaiyu should trust the most .”
"Li Zaiyu didn't let those two monks follow him some time ago. He must have become suspicious. Now that several sharp arrows are on the line in the Chaozhong Palace, and the emperor still can't see the national teacher, if those two people easily Seeing the face of the national teacher will definitely put them in a deep disadvantage." Li Qingning said again.
"It seems that His Highness has already made up his mind." Xian Yu's eyes slightly curved, and he actually smiled.
Li Qingning put the teacup in her hand on the table with a bang, "The National Teacher will definitely appoint someone from the Tianshitai to send out the hexagram, but I don't know what will happen to those two people."
"If the national teacher is quick, he should have made a divination by now." Xian Yu said.
"It's time to rob." Li Qingning said calmly.
Xian Yu originally wanted to ask how to rob, but the holding mirror was picked up suddenly, and then the mirror seemed to be spinning, she was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a while.
How to rob?Of course it can't be clear.
Tianshitai is not in the palace, but in the northeast corner of the capital.
Tianshitai is close to the water and backed by mountains. It is really a good place to pray for blessings. After the founding of Dongzhou, the matter of praying came from Tianshitai.
But today, Tianshitai not only refers to the sacrificial altar, but also becomes one of the official offices of Dongzhou. It's just that people in Tianshitai don't have to go to court, and they can't easily participate in politics.The head of the national teacher lives in the national teacher's mansion, and the national teacher's mansion is also in Tianshitai.
On the way to Jieguaxiang, Li Qingning didn't sit in a chariot or a sedan chair, but moved quietly in the palace.
In just a moment, the black figure moved a hundred meters away, appearing and disappearing under the vermilion palace wall.
No one saw it, and she wouldn't let anyone see it.
Li Qingning kept her voice low as if she was muttering to herself, but she was not talking to herself, but she was talking to the person in the holding mirror, she said: "So far, many people have sat in the position of Tianshitai Guoshi, This is the one who sits the longest."
"How long?" Xian Yu hasn't considered this matter yet.
"He has been a national teacher since the first emperor succeeded to the throne. At that time, high martial arts, that is, the style of cultivation, had not yet emerged in Dongzhou. No one knew that he knew the skills of the immortal family, but he was good at divination. , If you attract the wind, you will get the wind, and if you ask for the rain, you will get the rain." Li Qingning said flatly.
She paused, and then said: "Since the first emperor, no one has seen his real face. It is only known that every time he went to the celestial master's platform to pray, he was wearing a long robe, his face was tightly covered, and even the strands of his hair were covered." Not a single one exposed."
"The first emperor should have been afraid of him. Later, he tried to help another capable man to be the national teacher. However, something strange happened. As soon as the man entered the capital, he suddenly fell into hysteria, talked wildly, and finally cut his neck and committed suicide. It's gone." Li Qingning said.
Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, "I haven't heard of this matter yet."
Li Qingning said in a deep voice: "This matter was banned later. During that period of time, there were people in the court. It was because the heavens did not recognize the latecomer as Dongzhou Guoshi, and took his life away with this method."
"Who said that? This is the gossip to confuse people." Xian Yu sneered.
"There is no way to verify it now." Li Qingning disappeared, and when she reappeared, she was a hundred meters away.
"These rumors are not groundless. It seems that the national teacher is well versed in this." Xian Yu lowered his voice in the mirror.
Li Qing thought about what Cui Ling said before he left, and felt that the National Teacher was not a simple person, "After Cui Ling left, I sent people to investigate the National Teacher's Mansion, but unfortunately several people returned without success. Not detected."
"Your Highness said earlier, how did Cui Ling die?" Xian Yu asked.
"The way is to poison the national teacher. Later, she was given the same poison and was beaten with a stick for a long time. I rescued her, but...not." Li Qing said in a deep voice.
"Could it be that the national teacher wants her to die?" Xian Yu frowned.
"I also have doubts about this." Li Qingning stopped abruptly, looked up and saw the palace gate opened in the distance, and the two monks walked in behind a little boy.
"What else did Cui Ling mention?" Xian Yu asked after thinking for a moment.
"Then there is only Helicopterus vine." Li Qingning hid in the dark, watching the little boy walking towards him with a tray covered with brocade cloth in his hand like a flying wind.
Sensing the presence of an outsider approaching, Xian Yu lowered his voice a little, "Has your Highness ever thought that the scorpion tail vine might not have been given to the emperor by the two sects, but by the national teacher?"
"Then what is the relationship between the national teacher and the two sects?" Li Qing said coldly, his eyes still fixed on the people coming from a distance.
"Perhaps, the national teacher is defrauding the two great sects and the second prince, trying to reap the benefits." Xian Yu was still thinking about the trauma he suffered in his previous life.
With such a strange and powerful aura, she really couldn't think of anyone other than the national teacher who had never shown up.
Seeing the three people approaching in the distance, Li Qingning was afraid of what the person in the mirror might say again, so she subconsciously pulled out the mirror and stroked the surface.
Neither light nor heavy, just the right amount of strength.
Xian Yu immediately closed her mouth tightly. Although her whole body was soft at that moment, she became stiff the next moment. She gritted her teeth and wanted to tease a few words, but the breath of outsiders in the distance was much closer. down.
She was grinding her teeth in the mirror, thinking that Li Qingning must have done it on purpose.
A person cannot be judged by his appearance, sea water cannot be measured, Li Qingning's face is cold and indifferent, and his thoughts are really too busy.
Chapter 82
82
The little boy holding the tray walked very steadily. It seemed that he had only taken a small step, but he walked very fast like a shadow in the wind.
The two monks followed closely behind, their legs and feet were not as good as that of a child, and they could barely keep up.
The tray in the boy's hand was a gold vessel. Although it was mostly covered by brocade cloth embroidered with flowers and birds, the corners were all made of gold, and a mythical mythical figure was engraved on each of the four corners.Each of the four brave ones holds a corner, and the edge of the plate is a cloud pattern, and the pattern of nocturnal flowers is worn in it.
Li Qingning frowned and watched from a distance, and suddenly realized that the brocade cloth was not ordinary brocade cloth, it was made of Lingluo brocade, and the flowers and birds on it were all embroidered with twisted gold threads.
The brocade cloth is made of extraordinary materials, it won't be damaged by fire, and it won't melt by water bubbles, and there is only one thing that can reduce it.
Lingluo brocade belongs to water, it is said that it is woven with shark hair, if it touches the ground, it will melt into it.
Xian Yu panicked in the mirror, hearing the breath coming from a distance was still a little far away, she endured the discomfort in her body, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I want to see it too."
Li Qingning lowered her eyes, she was speechless for a while, how can I show her this?
Unexpectedly, the person in the mirror said: "You lift me up, hold me high."
Li Qingning couldn't help holding her breath, and raised her head high?
After thinking about it, she simply raised her hand, turned the mirror outward, and took a picture of the three people in the distance.
No matter how you look at it, this appearance is a bit silly. How can someone hold a mirror in his hand and not take a picture of himself, but want to take a picture of others, or hide in the dark and take pictures secretly.
Li Qingning's hands were stiff, and she didn't know if the person in the mirror could see clearly, so she frowned and said, "Did you see clearly?"
"Lingluo Brocade." Xian Yu said suddenly.
Li Qingning quickly withdrew her hand, leaning her back against the red wall, and said in a low voice: "You can see it too."
"It's a gold tray, and a Lingluo brocade, and I don't know what is covered under it. Does Your Highness know what the national teacher uses for divination?" Xian Yu thought for a while but couldn't think of a reason.
"I don't know, apart from the late emperor, the only one I've ever seen is the current sage." Li Qingning said.
"I think it should belong to the same family as Lingluo brocade, and it shouldn't be afraid of water and fire, so it shouldn't be able to fall to the ground." Xian Yu frowned while thinking.
It was also the first time for her to see Lingluo brocade, such a precious thing, even in the Ceasefire Palace, and it was not easy to preserve, if one was not careful, the gold, silver and jewels spent on bartering would be wasted.
"Really?" Li Qingning's voice stopped abruptly, and she held her breath and concentrated, secretly hiding the breath of her soul.
The three of them were already close at hand.
When Li Qingning was thinking about how to rob, the mirror in her hand suddenly trembled.
She frowned, her heart skipped a beat, and she held the handle of the mirror tightly with five fingers, so that the mirror did not fall out of her hand.
The holding mirror trembled so much that it didn't take much thinking to know that it was the person in the mirror who did it.
If those three people found her whereabouts, it would be difficult to explain at that time, if not, it would arouse Li Zaiyu's suspicion of her again.
Li Qingning had no choice but to raise her hand, only to see a thick fog coiled in the mirror, a thin white hand sticking out of it, those thin white fingers moved slowly like playing a piano, slowly and dexterously.
It was Xian Yu's hand.
Something seemed to break out of the mirror, and suddenly, the thick fog in the mirror dissipated, and a gust of wind blew out from the mirror with a whirring sound.
The dead trees in the distance startled, and the wilted leaves and scorched branches rustled down.
It was already late autumn at this time, so it was not surprising that a strong wind suddenly blew up.
Xian Yu attracted and fiddled with the wind around him in the mirror, but he didn't change the direction of the wind, but made the wind that was already moving close to the ground stronger.
The wind whistled, rolled the wilted leaves and scorched branches along the palace road, and crawled along the footsteps of the three people.
Xiao Tongben was walking quite steadily, and unexpectedly leaned forward, his eyes widened suddenly, and he wanted to embrace the tray into his arms, but he didn't expect that the tray was hugged, but the things on the tray were thrown out .
Even the brocade cloth covering it fell to the ground and suddenly turned into a pool of water.
No one could see what the thing that was thrown out of the tray was, and it had already melted into water together with the brocade cloth.
The little boy threw himself on the ground, holding the gold plate and staring straight at his eyes for a long time, but after a while, the dark eyeballs turned, and they were wet for a moment, and cried with a wow stand up.
The two monks stood behind and looked at each other, they both knew that it was taboo for divination objects to fall on the ground at this time.
Li Qingning suddenly raised the mirror in her hand, only to see that the plain white hand had already been withdrawn, and the mirror was filled with thick fog, so there was no one to be seen, the person in the mirror obviously didn't want to show her head.
After a long while, the two monks in the distance still didn't realize how the little boy fell, and the little boy didn't think it was different, but just knelt on the ground in a daze, looking at the puddle of water on the ground and crying out of breath. Out of breath.
Li Qingning frowned, tucked the bronze mirror into her belt, turned around and headed for Yuanzheng Hall, not daring to delay for a moment.
On the way, she moved her tightly pursed lips and said: "How many times have I told you not to act rashly, but you keep doing it repeatedly!"
The voice coming out of the mirror was not very clear at first, but now that it was stuffed in the belt, it was even more vague, "I have a sense of proportion."
"If those two are suspicious, I don't know what to say." Li Qing said with a cold face.
"Your Highness will never be suspicious." Xian Yu said in a muffled voice, "Besides, how could I fall into His Highness' injustice?"
"I know..." Li Qingning let go of her frowning brows, let out a long sigh of relief and said slowly, "It's just that if someone finds you in the mirror, you may be very dangerous."
"It's okay, I can come and go freely in the mirror." Xian Yu smiled.
Li Qingning pursed her lips, "Those two people will definitely return to Yuanzheng Hall to report this matter to His Majesty, and the boy may not be able to escape the blame."
"It's the national teacher who didn't think carefully. It's not good to call someone. He just asked a child to deliver things. If something happens, the child will take care of it." It's fortunate that this life is different from the previous life, otherwise she must have been killed by Mrs. Tan.
"Fangxin should have sent the things to Renyi Palace, but the origin of Xian Yuelu is not very clear... Well, if it is investigated, I am afraid that it will be questioned." Li Qingning said lightly.
Xian Yu smiled in the mirror, "The Xian Yuelu in Your Highness's palace was not only given by Mr. Cheng, so why would the emperor think too much about it, but if Concubine Ning has a ghost in her heart, she will definitely be scared when she sees Xian Yuelu."
"That makes sense, but you still have to be more careful in front of Your Majesty." Li Qingning walked slowly under the vermilion palace wall, a black figure appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Approaching the Yuanzheng Hall, I saw two adults from the Imperial Medical Office kneeling outside the door from a distance, and the eunuch was passing the word from inside to outside.
Li Qingning stopped and listened quietly, only to hear Li Daren say: "The third prince's condition has improved. Now the rash and pustules on his body have not spread anymore, the high fever has subsided a little, and the head pain is no longer. Although he is still weak, I can only eat some liquid food, but I can no longer vomit after swallowing, and I can speak a few words."
The eunuch was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this servant will go in and report to His Majesty. There are so many happy events today."
The two adults had been in front of the third prince all the time, and they didn't know much about the news. They didn't know what happy event was there besides the third prince's recovery. They looked at each other and shook their heads slightly in turn.
The eunuch turned around and entered the main hall, and came out from the door after a while, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that the two adults have made merit, and if the third prince recovers, there will be a big reward, and the adults can retire."
The two adults kowtowed to the ground, put their hands flat in front of their heads, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you Your Majesty, the ministers have stepped back."
After a while, Li Qingning came out from the dark place, slowly climbed the stone steps, and walked to the gate of Yuanzheng Hall.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and when he looked into the distance, he did not see Li Qingning's chariot, and Li Qingning didn't even have a maid beside him, so he wondered, "Your Highness has been here today."
Li Qingning glanced at him indifferently, "I have something to say to Your Majesty."
"Slave will report now." The eunuch said sharply.
Li Qingning nodded slightly, and stood upright outside the main hall, without gold hairpins in her hair, but it was still luxurious, and the dignity and nobility were revealed from the bottom of her bones.
After entering the palace to report, the eunuch opened the door and came out, bowing and saying, "Please, Your Highness."
Li Qingning walked in slowly, looked up and saw that Li Zaiyu was still obsessed with his hair, frowning as if he was thinking, and took a long time to write a few words.
After getting closer, she realized that Li Zaiyu was clearly not writing a memorial, but writing something else.
Li Qingning bowed slightly, "Brother Emperor."
Li Zaiyu raised his eyes, stretched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I heard that the imperial sister ordered someone to send several cups of Xianyuelu to the Palace of Renyi. This Xianyuelu is priceless. The imperial sister has a heart."
The person in the mirror burst out laughing when she heard this, but fortunately she covered her lips so that she didn't laugh out loud, but when she laughed, the breath escaped without paying attention.
Li Qingning froze all over, slowly raised her hand, twisted her bright wrist hidden in the wide cuff, and stuffed the mirror more tightly.
Xian Yu naturally knew that Li Qingning had moved the mirror, she stood with her elbows folded in the sky and the earth in the mirror, she just thought that the emperor was very easy to fool, the Cheng family had a lot of trouble at that time, the emperor should know that too.
The reason why she remembered it was not because she cared much about the Cheng family and the General's Mansion, but because she teased Li Qingning at that time.
At that time, the Cheng family and the General's Mansion had no contact with each other, and ordinary people only knew that the two families had refunded each other's dowry and bride price a year ago, and they didn't know what happened.
Even after a year, this matter is still talked about by everyone in the court.
It was not difficult for Xian Yu to know about this matter, she sneaked into the palace again at night and entered Yangning Palace by herself.
At that time, Li Qingning was bathing in the bathing pool in the palace. The water was warm and steaming, and there were many petals floating on the surface of the water. However, the eldest princess soaked in the water seemed not quite suitable for these delicate petals. While taking a bath, his complexion was still cold.
Li Qingning never liked being served by court ladies while taking a bath, so Xian Yu easily got close to her.
The water ripples spread out, and the sound of water entered the ears clearly.
Li Qing looked back with a cold face, and saw that Xian Yu had already entered the water, the thin red dress was clinging to her body, delicate skin and exquisite figure could be vaguely seen.
Xian Yu approached her, and said with a low smile, "It's the first time I have bathed with His Highness, why is His Highness so cold?"
"Who let you in." Li Qing said coldly.
"If I want to come, I can come naturally." Xian Yu smiled softly, she approached step by step, and said against Li Qingning's back: "Your Highness is so hot."
The person covering Li Qingning's back was delicate and soft, a thin and weak one, like a vine, trying to grow on the person.
Xian Yu put his chin on her shoulder, put one hand on Li Qingning's arm, and scooped up a handful of water with the other hand, and poured it on the smooth and shaved shoulder of the person in front of him.
Li Qingning pursed her lips and did not move, she was holding back and thinking.
But the people behind her interrupted her thoughts.
Xian Yu said: "Look, Your Highness, we have such-and-such private meetings every night, which is really against the rules. Fortunately, Your Highness has no engagement, otherwise, if Your Highness regrets the marriage like the Cheng family because of me, I can't bear it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the person in front of her suddenly turned sideways, pinching her chin with her slender fingers.
Li Qing said in a cold voice: "You can't afford it?"
Xian Yu let her pinch her chin, "Your Highness wants me to be able to bear it, so I can afford it, Your Highness either."
No need to answer, the next moment, she was pressed against the wall of the pool by the person who had been holding back for a long time.
There was nowhere to escape, and the corners of his eyes were reddened by the opponent's knees.
The person holding the mirror is full of thoughts, but the person outside the mirror is talking about serious things with the current saint.
Li Qingning said: "Most Xianyue dew was brought back from Weifeng Island. Ordinary people can strengthen their health, nourish yin and nourish blood by taking it. For a moment, they thought that there were such good things in Yangning Palace, so they asked the palace staff to immediately give it to Concubine Ning. Sent."
The people standing in the hall lowered their eyes, Li Zaiyu could only see the corners of her lips slowly raised, but he didn't know that her extremely faint smile didn't reach his eyes.
Li Zaiyu nodded, "There are a lot of spirits in Weifeng Island. I also lived on the island for a while when I was young. At that time, the imperial sister was very young and was not yet old enough to go to the island."
"It's a pity that my sister went to the island several times later, and later used the Huanling Tang and the marrow-returning dew given by the emperor, but she still didn't make any progress." Li Qingning said unhurriedly.
"It's okay, even if you can't practice the skills of the immortal family, ordinary people still have the blessings of ordinary people." Li Zaiyu laughed.
Li Qingning slowly raised her eyes, glanced at the person sitting above, and was sure in her heart that Li Zaiyu shouldn't be doubting her cultivation.
"I don't know why the imperial sister came here this time." Li Zaiyu asked.
"Recently, the local government sent a fast horse to the capital to ask for help. My sister heard that the disaster in Wuli Town was serious. Some time ago, I heard that the second emperor's nephew received an order to rescue the disaster, but it was delayed due to the medical examination. I don't know the emperor. Brother now has other plans." Li Qingning's cold voice echoed in the hall.
Li Zaiyu dipped the ink and wrote two words, "The matter of Wuli Town cannot be delayed any longer, I have already considered it in my heart."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, "But let the second emperor's nephew help the disaster? The terrain in the fog is dangerous. After the earthquake, the mountain road may be blocked and it will be even more difficult to walk, and Wuxian has no experience in disaster relief. It may not be easy to carry out disaster relief. .”
"It is precisely because he has never dealt with such disasters that I sent him there. No one knows who he is. Moreover, there is no need to worry about the imperial sister who is accompanied by capable people." Li Zaiyu said in a deep voice. .
"Your sister has overstepped." Li Qingning lowered her head and said.
"The imperial sister is kind." Li Zaiyu put down his wolf hair and said.
After Li Qingning entered the main hall, she kept paying attention to the movement outside the hall. After she noticed three messy auras approaching from outside, the boulder in her heart slowly sank.
After the eunuch came in to report again, the trembling little boy holding the tray and the two monks walked into the hall one by one.
Li Qingning tilted her head slightly, and saw the little boy kneeling on the ground with a plop, holding the empty tray above his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Report to Your Majesty, the hexagram... is gone."
Xian Yu hid in the mirror and listened. She was really measured when she was flirting, and she had no intention of harming the little boy. At this moment, the third prince's condition was improving, and there was another happy event in the Palace of Renyi, so blood must never be seen in the palace.
Li Zaiyu's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "It's gone?"
The little boy trembled and said: "One, I stumbled for a while, the Tingtao beads used by the national teacher for divination fell on the ground, and it melted when it touched the soil."
The corners of Xian Yu's lips raised, and it was really as she thought, the divination thing was like the Lingluo brocade, it couldn't touch the ground, but she never thought that the thing would be Ting Taozhu.
There are so many treasures in the National Teacher's Mansion that she has never heard of, and they are all beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The National Teacher's Mansion does not know how much gold, silver and jewels have been collected from the national treasury to be so rich, and even the two masters have not received such treatment.
Li Zaiyu's face was ugly, but he didn't want to get angry. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why did the national teacher send you here?"
The little boy was trembling all over, he lowered his head and dared not make a sound.
Li Zaiyu looked at the two kneeling behind the little boy, and asked, "Based on what you can see, is what Xiantong said true?"
Those two dared not say more, they were ordered to escort the child to the Yuanzheng Hall, and if anything happened on the way, they would be indispensable, they immediately said: "It is indeed as Xiantong said."
Li Zaiyu pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, God will trouble the national teacher to do another divination. I am magnanimous, and I will spare you this time."
The three of them knelt in the hall without saying a word, and the little boy was still shivering.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't hesitate to ask the national teacher to do the math again!" Li Zaiyu sternly said.
The three of them responded quickly and got up from the ground one after another.
Seeing that they were about to go out, Li Qingning hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is better for my sister to invite the national teacher in person, and then bring it back with her own hands after getting the hexagram. The national teacher rarely has one hexagram and two divinations."
She paused for a moment, then said meaningfully: "Furthermore, if this happened suddenly, the national teacher may have something to explain. Your Majesty can feel at ease if my sister goes to the Tianshitai to invite the national teacher."
Li Zaiyu thought about it carefully, then nodded and said, "That's fine."
In this way, the person holding the gold plate became Li Qingning, while Xiao Tong and the two monks followed, walking step by step.
Li Qingning got on the chariot, and after arriving at the palace gate, she boarded the carriage on Tianshitai, and hearing the sound of the wheels turning, she staggered to Tianshitai.
Although the Tianshitai is not comparable to the imperial palace, it is also extremely luxurious. The floors are stacked and the pavilions are high and low. Every inch of the high platform is paved with jade. Outside the Tianshitai, there are flying pavilions on each side. , on which you can overlook the colorful clouds and the entire Tianshitai.
A few years ago, when Li Qingning visited the Tianshitai to pray for blessings and watch the ceremony, the Tianshitai was far less luxurious than it is now.
She frowned slightly, and her doubts grew more and more.
Pass through the Fei Pavilion, and take a carriage along the wide avenue to reach the Twelve Star Pillar.
After the twelve star pillars, there is another dotted pavilion.
The carriage stopped, and the little boy walked to the side of the carriage where Li Qingning was riding, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, go up the wooden steps on the left to the observation platform on the third floor, and the National Teacher is in the attic on the observation platform. "
Holding the tray, Li Qingning stepped on the footstool from the carriage to the ground. She raised her head slightly, followed the spiral wooden steps, and easily saw the attic on the third-floor viewing platform.
Xian Yu stayed in the mirror, and as Li Qingning stepped up the wooden steps, she felt that the air around her seemed to be thinner.
