Chapter 101 Go pick up Lu Yuan
"It doesn't matter. The affairs of the nobles are not something we can discuss. Chunzhu, you must remember not to say anything careless. If someone hears it, not only will you die, but your family will also be implicated." Xu Qiuyue reminded Chunzhu.

Chunzhu understood now, his expression tensed, and he said to Xu Qiuyue quickly: "I will never talk about the Imperial Concubine again."

The noble man is not someone they can discuss.

Xing Zhu's eyes were a little gloomy at this time.

She knew that Li Hang might be the real culprit of the flood.

She knows much more than Chunzhu.

It is said that Concubine Li was just the daughter of a minor official, but when she was fifteen years old and celebrating Emperor Sheng’s sixtieth birthday, she participated in a beauty contest and was favored by Emperor Sheng at first sight.

After that, she was always favored by Emperor Sheng.

She has been with Emperor Sheng for more than ten years now, and her position has gradually been promoted to that of a noble concubine.

She has a very bad reputation among the people.

Emperor Sheng built Hanyue Pavilion for Concubine Li, which was a huge expense and labor-intensive.

Xingzhu's father and grandfather were all captured because they were building a palace for Concubine Li. Xingzhu's mother was already seriously ill and died because of this. In order to support her brother, Xingzhu had to sell herself into a slave. Fortunately, Lu Yuan taught her martial arts and she was valued.

Xingzhu's life became better.

I heard that Emperor Sheng is planning to build the Zhaixing Tower for Concubine Li, and plans to build it into the tallest building in Sheng Kingdom.

Xingzhu began to hate Concubine Li more and more.

This Concubine Li is really troublesome.

Because we like to eat lychees, the shelf life of lychees is very short.

It is precisely because of this that every time lychees are delivered, several thousand steeds are exhausted and the people are wasted money and labor.

But Xingzhu didn't say it, she knew that there were many spies in the capital.

Xu Qiuyue had no idea what Xingzhu was thinking.

Xu Qiuyue knew very well that Concubine Li was just a target, and the one who really liked to eat lychees was Emperor Sheng.

Emperor Sheng didn't want to ruin his reputation, so he put all the blame on Concubine Li.

Hanyue Pavilion was built by Emperor Sheng in memory of his white moonlight.

The Star-Picking Tower was built by Emperor Sheng in order to achieve immortality.

Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord.

How could Concubine Li refuse? She was just the daughter of a minor official.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

How could she dare to refuse?

She has no children and no family background.

My only younger brother is also a useless person.

Once something goes wrong.

Concubine Li was the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country, and Emperor Sheng only needed to bear the pain and execute her.

The people will forgive Emperor Sheng.

They even sing praises to Emperor Sheng.

Concubine Li was just a small stain on Emperor Sheng.

Concubine Li had been following Emperor Sheng since she was young and was quite favored by the emperor. She stayed in the deep palace for more than ten years.

When I was young, I didn’t think about things.

But now that I have grown up, in this complicated palace, I have to think about things even if I don’t want to.

She needs someone to rely on.

Make sure she can live a good life after Emperor Sheng dies of old age.

Emperor Sheng is now seventy years old, and it is basically impossible for her to have a child.

Then the only way is to recognize a prince and princess.

The youngest prince of Emperor Sheng is Xuan Jiuqing.

Xuan Jiuqing is only one or two years younger than Concubine Li.

If it were in the past, Xuan Jiuqing would never have formed an alliance with Concubine Li.

Because Emperor Sheng gave all the bad reputation to Concubine Li.

Xuan Jiuqing has always attached great importance to his reputation.

But now, Xuan Jiuqing can be said to be at his wits' end.

If he still wanted to gain power, the only one willing to ally with him was Concubine Li.

Because according to the laws of the Sheng Kingdom, all concubines in the harem who had no children had to become women of the imperial court. That is, even if Emperor Sheng died, all these concubines would have to be buried with him, no matter how favored they had been.

Unless you have an heir, even a princess will do.

Raising the royal bloodline is hard work, even if there is no credit.

Concubine Li had no idea how long Emperor Sheng could live. Although she was in a high position, she was very nervous.

Even if she was a royal concubine, she would die if Emperor Sheng died.

And Li Guifei's behavior would certainly make Emperor Sheng unhappy.

Men are all like this. He can be very ruthless, but he also hopes that his woman will be loyal to him, live for him, and die for him.

This was what Emperor Sheng thought. In his heart, he absolutely hoped that Concubine Li could be buried with him.

In her previous life, Concubine Li was eager to find a way out and wanted to join forces with Xuan Jiuqing, but she was reported by Xuan Jiuqing.

Emperor Sheng was originally a petty person.

Because of this, he hated Concubine Li.

The news about the previous flood involving the Li family was exposed all at once, and the entire family was executed without a single one being spared.

Xuan Jiuqing also gained a good reputation for slaying the evil concubine for the country.

Unfortunately, Concubine Li didn't know that Emperor Sheng would live very long.

Crown Prince Xuan Yi died, but he was still alive.

The prince died of old age, but he is still alive.

Xuan Jiuqing has survived from youth to middle age.

After Xu Qiuyue died, when Xuan Jiuqing was about to enter old age, he finally outlasted Emperor Sheng and ascended to the position he had always dreamed of.

Then it starts another cycle.

Xuan Jiuqing entered the cycle of Emperor Sheng's later life and began to seek immortality again.

Thinking about things in my previous life.

Xu Qiuyue felt inexplicably heavy in her heart.

At noon, Xu Qiuyue did not rest either.

I just had some simple pastries as my lunch.

"Madam, the young master is about to come out of the examination room at this time, let's go pick him up!"

Chunzhu urged Xu Qiuyue.

In the whole yard, she was the only one in the most lively mood today.

Xingzhu didn't know if it was because of the flood, but she was in a low mood.

Xingzhu studied and learned martial arts.

I know a lot, but I don’t have the ability to change things that I think are wrong, so it’s inevitable that I feel a little bit heavy-hearted.

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Qiuyue nodded to Chunzhu.

Chunzhu has already prepared the carriage.

The sky was overcast.

Lu Yuan has been taking the exam for a day.

I don’t know how Lu Yuan did in the exam.

This exam only lasts for one day.

But for a weak scholar, this one-day exam is enough to cost him half his life.

Most people really can’t bear it.

The carriages stopped and started, and there were many dignitaries on the road.

Xu Qiuyue gave orders to the coachman, telling him to give way to any carriage he met along the way.

That's why the speed is so slow.

Because there are many distinguished people going to the examination hall.

Although there are also some carriages that look broken.

But it might be some big shot with a special fetish who is visiting incognito.

It is better to have less things to do than more. It just means walking a little slower.

"Xu~~"

"what!"

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Chunzhu screamed in fright and couldn't sit still. Xu Qiuyue reached out and supported Chunzhu, while Xingzhu was the first to help Xu Qiuyue.

"Your carriage has been lent to the second son of our Duke's Mansion. You all can get off now!"

An extremely arrogant voice came from outside the car.
