The moment Li Chengqi heard it, she thought that something was wrong with her ears, so she couldn't help but look at Xie Mingyue.

Xie Mingyue pursed her lips, obediently waiting for his answer.

Li Chengqi couldn't help pressing his temples. He thought that Xie Mingyue would ask about Li Yan's affairs, even if he didn't stir up trouble, he wouldn't turn a blind eye to it. However, Xie Mingyue asked a question that completely exceeded his expectations.

Is there something wrong with Gu Gu or something wrong with Xie Mingyue?

Li Chengqi thought about it, and finally decided that there must be something wrong with Xie Mingyue.

Does it matter who owns this thing?Can't you wear it?

Li Chengqi tugged at Xie Mingyue's long hair with her fingers, forcing Xie Mingyue to look down at him.

With a straight face, Li Chengqi was extremely disappointed and taught Xie Mingyue a lesson, "Xuan Du, I originally thought that you only had national affairs in your heart, but you didn't want to be bound by the love of these children. Whose fault is it?"

If someone had told him five years ago, Your Majesty, Xie Hou is actually a very caring person in small matters, especially when it comes to his sweetheart.

Li Chengqi would probably look at this person with the eyes of a fool, and said earnestly that there is no need to participate in Xiehou's private affairs.

This bit of pretentiousness, no, it is worth talking about in front of him if you can't catch the wind or the shadow?Besides, can Xie Mingyue have a sweetheart?who?Chuan Guo Yuxi?

But now, Li Chengqi glanced at Xie Mingyue's face suspiciously. Is this really Xie Mingyue?Wasn't it because he was dropped by the ghosts there when he was in the hot spring palace?

Xie Mingyue lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked aggrieved.

Li Chengqi paused.

If Xie Mingyue was always like this when they were getting along in private, then Xie Hou would really be Concubine Xie at this moment... Concubine Xie Gui.

"It won't be," Xie Mingyue said in a low voice.

Li Chengqi heard it clearly, and his expression froze for a moment after hearing it.

"you……"

Xie Mingyue looked at him, waiting for Li Chengqi's next words.

Li Chengqi said sincerely: "I really dare to think about it." He was so angry that he wanted to laugh, "Xuandu, what have you been thinking all day?"

Xie Qing, your idea is very rebellious.

He got up, kissed the corner of Xie Mingyue's lips, saw his earlobes slowly dyed red, and then sat down on his lap with satisfaction.

Xie Mingyue's reaction perfectly matched the gentleman in Li Chengqi's fantasy, who would be shy in a kiss without being teased, with a helpless look on his face when he was teased so hard, the tips of his ears were red and red, as if he didn't dare to even look at him.

But even so shy, it didn't prevent Xie Mingyue from pinching his throat and kissing him.

"Lonely." Before Xie Mingyue could speak, Li Chengqi said.

Xie Mingyue was stunned.

It's not suitable for Li Chengqi to wear such clothes now, if she wants to wear them, it can only be in the past.

"The material is too thin, and I ordered someone to put it away after wearing it once." Li Chengqi pinched Xie Mingyue's ear with her fingers, leaving a mark on the earlobe with her fingertips, "Xuan Du, are you satisfied?"

It gets hotter under the fingers.

Li Chengqi looked into Xie Mingyue's eyes, and instead of hiding, she greeted her, squeezed her chin and kissed her a small mouthful, like tasting tea, but it was rare to taste it lightly.

Xie Mingyue looked at him steadily.

Li Chengqi murmured: "There is sulfur in the hot spring, there should be no snakes."

Xie Mingyue lowered her head and looked at him very gently, "What did Your Majesty say?"

Li Chengqi quickly rolled to the side, "Gu said, Gu just lied to you."

Xie Mingyue knelt beside the bed, "You really lied to me?"

Li Chengqi hugged the quilt with a smile, and patted the side of her side, "Xie Qing, sleep well next to Gu, and Gu will tell you whether it is true or not tomorrow morning."

……

In Prince Xuan's mansion, Li Yan sat quietly by the bed.

After he returned home, although he didn't have a fever, he still felt unwell and drowsy, and he didn't want to talk to others, so he lay next to each other on the bed, thinking about all kinds of things in Changle Palace tonight, it became more and more difficult.

Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived in time and carefully prescribed medicine for him.

Facing Li Yanxi's eyes, the imperial doctor lowered his head, and said in a condescending way: "It's the minister who came from the imperial tutor."

Li Yan forced a dumb laugh out of his throat, and said, "On behalf of this king, thank you, Taifu."

After drinking the medicine, the heat dissipated from his body, and he felt cold, but he couldn't tell whether it was cold on his body or his heart.

Li Yan was tired and closed his eyes.

When he first won the emperor's favor in Qiushou, some people in the clan were jealous, saying that with his status, he was not fit to serve the emperor, and some people said that the beauty he got that day belonged to Xie Hou.

Li Yan closed his eyes and remembered the white deer he hunted on the day of autumn hunting, which was regarded as auspicious.

That white deer...

If it weren't for that white deer, he might be a mediocre and inconspicuous son of the clan right now.

From the beginning, it was stolen.

But him, but he still harbored some extravagant hopes in his heart, but he was not reconciled after all.

"My lord, my lord." Through the bed curtain, the housekeeper's voice was very soft, "Master Zhao Shangxing has been here, but he didn't come when he heard that his lord was unwell."

Zhao Shangxing?

Li Yan pressed the eyebrows that were about to split.

What did Zhao Shangxing come to him for?

……

Early the next morning, both of them went to Changning Palace.

Xie Mingyue had polished up the document, and Li Chengqi looked a little better than yesterday when she heard the details of the fraud.

When all the documents were sorted out, Xie Mingyue was about to ask about last night's affairs, but Qing Mi hurried in, glanced at Xie Mingyue who was sitting next to Li Chengqi, hesitated, and said to Li Chengqi in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Grand Emperor Too late."

As soon as these words came out, both Li Chengqi and Xie Mingyue saw surprise in each other's eyes, but they immediately had guesses in their hearts.

My mother came so quietly.This is what Li Chengqi finds most surprising.

"His Majesty."

Li Chengqi waved his hand and put the documents aside casually, "Go alone, so you don't have to go with me, sir."

Xie Mingyue put the paperwork he had put aside casually where it should be put, nodded and said: "Yes."

Li Chengqi gets on the chariot and returns to Changle Palace.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt that the atmosphere inside and outside Changle Palace was tense, and no one dared to breathe.

Ji Shi and Li Chengqi bumped into each other, bowed their knees to salute, and silently glanced inside.

Here, nothing has changed.

Li Chengqi thought.

He walked quickly into the inner hall.

Since he ascended the throne, he and Cui Taoxi haven't seen each other once a year, and the relationship between mother and son has been so cold, but neither of them felt that there was anything wrong, and they had long been used to it.

However, after all, we will see each other again after being resurrected from the dead, even if the relatives are weak, Li Chengqi's mood is a bit complicated.

When Li Chengqi entered the inner hall, she saw a tall woman, before she could see her face clearly, she bowed down and said, "The Empress Dowager."

The new emperor is the late emperor's nephew, and he has never been close to the empress dowager, so when they met for the first time, they knelt down and saluted, which surprised everyone.

Those who are active in their thoughts are already thinking, if the Queen Mother knows about this, will she feel dissatisfied again.

Since the new emperor was willing to kneel, Cui Taoxi went to help him up the little emperor himself, "Your Majesty, don't need to be polite." However, anyone who opened their eyes could see that she said this very perfunctorily.

Li Chengqi was supported to stand up, and when he raised his head, the two looked at each other for a while, but they were silent.

Cui Taoxi's hair is full of red treasures, and ordinary people who wear such gorgeous jewelry may be overwhelmed by jewels and jade, but Cui Taoxi's face is too beautiful and imposing, and all the bright jewels and jade have become her foil, which sets off her original beauty. The bright and incomparable face is more dignified and compelling, and the years seem to be particularly graceful to this beautiful woman. There is no trace of aging on her face, only a pair of eyes, revealing the fact that she is not young.

These are a pair of deep, cold eyes that have seen everything but are not tired.

At this moment, these eyes were looking at Li Chengqi, and there was also surprise in their eyes, surprised at the resemblance between the little emperor and Li Zhao.

Li Chengqi has no intention of explaining, after all, it is too difficult for people to accept that a person can be resurrected from the dead, and it is easy to be regarded as a lunatic, besides, Cui Taoxi doesn't care much about it.

As if no one, she can live happily.

Cui Taoxi spoke, with a slight smile in his voice, "I heard people say that Li Yan chose a child who is very similar to Li Zhao to be the emperor. I didn't believe it before. When I see you today, I feel that the rumors are superficial." Her eyes were bent, and she smiled, "Aren't you my son's legacy?"

Cui Taoxi spoke directly, and she was also the only one who could say without hesitation that the little emperor and Li Zhao looked similar.

Li Zhao's facial features are not very similar to Cui Taoxi, but the beauty in his brows and eyes is all from Cui Taoxi, anyone who sees the two of them will be able to tell their blood relationship at a glance.

And because Li Yin is somewhat similar to Li Zhao, he even resembles Cui Taoxi.

Li Chengqi didn't expect Cui Taoxi to say this was the first thing he said when he saw him. He touched his nose, as if he didn't know how to answer, and met Cui Taoxi's slightly probing eyes. He seemed like a thin-skinned, shy young man The man replied with some embarrassment: "Probably not, the age is not right."

If Li Yin were Li Zhao's son, he must have been born when Li Chengqi was 12 years old.

Also, Li Yan and Li Zhao.

Even though Li Chengqi was used to these two names, she still choked for a while.

In his mother's heart, his status was no different from that of Li Yan, a clan son who couldn't be farther away.

Cui Taoxi sighed lightly upon hearing this.

Based on Li Chengqi's understanding of Cui Taoxi, the Empress Dowager was definitely not regretting his early death, but lamenting that he was useless.

Li Chengqi: "..."

It's been almost three years since he died, and his mother hasn't changed at all. It's really gratifying, gratifying to congratulate.

His celebration was very sincere, without the slightest hint of yin and yang.

really.

Man Kong came over to serve tea.

Cui Taoxi took a sip and let out a surprise. She put down the teacup and said with a half-smile, "You really have nothing to do with Li Zhao?"

Li Chengqi's face revealed some appropriate surprises, "Gu, Gu is the stepson of the late emperor."

Cui Taoxi looked at his face and smiled softly, the tea reflected her face, she said: "The taste of drinking tea is exactly the same."

It is rare that there is not so much carelessness in the woman's voice, and there seems to be a real meaning hidden in it, Li Chengqi was stunned when she heard it.

Since colluding with Xie Mingyue, Li Chengqi didn't need to put on a show in front of Xie Mingyue, and simply replaced all the tea in Changle Palace with the one she liked to drink before.

The relationship between Cui Taoxi and Li Chengqi is so thin that it can be said that there is almost no relationship. Li Chengqi never thought that Cui Taoxi could remember what kind of tea she drank.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say, but he replied with a smile as usual in a short while: "Sir, the late emperor liked this kind of tea. Since Gu is the late emperor's stepson, everyone should have the same taste in things."

After hearing this, Cui Taoxi said calmly: "You have to drink this kind of tea every day, you are wronged." She pushed the teacup away, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

So you don't like tea?

Li Chengqi held a cup of tea to cover up the corners of her mouth that she didn't know how to put.

Cui Taoxi smiled when he saw him hesitant to speak.

Before Li Chengqi put down her teacup, she said again: "I'm not here today to see you."

Li Chengqi said in his heart that his son knew it.

Cui Taoxi didn't even come over before he died, and now he can come here to see a little emperor who looks similar to him, definitely not to see how much they look alike.

Li Chengqi understands very well. After all, if his son forces her husband to abdicate and kills his own brother, and he has never seen him a few times since he was a child, Li Chengqi will not have a deep relationship with his son no matter how generous his heart is.

Being able to maintain a superficial decency is the result of the mother and son's efforts to restrain themselves.

Li Chengqi put down her teacup, and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, please tell me, and I will listen attentively."

The tails of his eyes were raised slightly, and it became more obvious when he smiled. A red mole on his eyelid was dazzling, like a beautiful ghost.

"Last night, my nephew Cui Yingyi came to Beiyuan to look for me, did you know?"

Li Chengqi met the woman's smiling eyes. He knew before that there was no point in being coquettish and obedient in front of this woman, so he said frankly, "I know."

"Then you know why he came to me?"

Last night Li Yan knelt in Changle Palace to plead guilty, Cui Yingyi returned from Prince Xuan's mansion in a hurry and rushed to Beiyuan, how could Li Chengqi not know why.

"Because," he brushed his finger over the exquisite gold painting on the cup, where there was a swallowtail butterfly with gorgeous wings, almost the same color as the flower it rested on, "a case of fraud?" To show respect and caution, he was asking, Not talking.

The eyes of the Empress Dowager finally revealed a star point of satisfaction.

Satisfaction with the emperor.

She refrained from the frivolity of teasing the young man, "Not stupid." Cui's noble daughter commented on Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi touched her nose again, and said shyly: "Father and son are similar, so Gu naturally resembles the late emperor."

Cui Taoxi nodded, "But you really look like him."

What she said should have been cheeky.

Li Chengqi lowered her eyes, thinking of Xie Mingyue's pretended respect in front of him, he said softly, "Dare to ask the Empress Dowager, what can I teach you?"

The long armor lightly knocked on the table and made a click.

Cui Taoxi said: "If I say, Cui Yingyi is my nephew, I love him like a treasure, and if you don't pursue it, what will you do?"

Li Chengqi was silent.

"Fraud in the examination room is by no means Yingyi alone. There are so many people involved. Let's not mention that the law does not blame the public. Let's just say that the blood shed by these people is enough to dye half of the long street red. You don’t have to have more Yingyi.” Cui Taoxi said to Li Chengqi calmly and grandly, “Yingyi is the only weak-ranked man in the Cui family in this generation. Under the circumstances, there is no way to explain to the ancestors."

After she finished speaking, she smiled brightly at Li Chengqi, "Little Emperor, what do you think?"

The Changle Palace was quiet.

Li Chengqi looked up at her, only to see the woman's dazzling smile.

Cui Taoxi didn't seem to be in a hurry to get an answer, she waited slowly, waiting for Li Chengqi's response.
