Chapter 940 The King of Qin Returns to the Capital (7)

Seeing his resolute attitude, Caiwei let him go, but she was still worried. After thinking about it, she transferred the parrot back from the general's mansion and let it follow the man from a distance. In case of any problems, she would be the first to know.

……*……*……

General Li was very conflicted these two days.

It must be said that the conditions proposed by Nangong Shi moved him very much. It has always been his dream to let his daughter become the mother of a country, but he was not reassured by Nangong Shi's promise.

Nangong Shi's current wife is a princess of Xianbei. If he achieves his great cause, it is impossible for him to put the princess aside and marry his daughter as the queen. Therefore, if he wants to make his daughter the queen, the Xianbei princess must die.

If he really killed the Xianbei princess, he was too cruel. Li Kaifeng could not trust such a person; but if he did not kill the Xianbei princess, how could he make his daughter the queen? Unless he was lying to him.

In the midst of the conflict, he told his daughter what Nangong Shi said, wanting to know her opinion, but was strongly opposed by Li Ruizhu.

"Dad, the prince has always been hypocritical and has bad behavior. He was chopped to death because he kept an actress. Do you trust such a person?"

General Li said: "Dad does not completely believe him, but there is no hope for the King of Qin. If you miss the prince again, you will never have the chance to enter the palace in this life."

Ruizhu did not know that Caiwei was not dead yet. She always thought that Caiwei had been eaten by a tiger. Therefore, when General Li mentioned the King of Qin, she said with confidence: "Didn't the King of Qin come back after winning the battle? I believe that as long as you help him overthrow the prince, he will definitely be grateful to you, and I will definitely have a chance!"

"Hey! Ruizhu----"

General Li sighed.

"You don't know yet, Princess Anle is not dead. You know what the King of Qin thinks of Anle. Even if Dad helps him, I'm afraid he won't yield!"

"Wasn't she taken away by a tiger? How could she have survived? Dad, did you hear wrong?"

Li Ruizhu was so anxious that she almost cried. When she heard that Princess Anle was taken away by a tiger, she was so happy that she didn't sleep all night. She thought that if the bitch died, the King of Qin would change his mind and marry her sooner or later. But she didn't die. If she didn't die, how could the King of Qin marry her?

General Li said: "She is indeed not dead. Not only is she not dead, she is still alive and well. Two days ago, she took over our treasure pavilion."

"How could this be? How could the tiger not eat her? Why didn't she die?"

Li Ruizhu shed tears, grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, and pulled it hard. A high-quality weft brocade handkerchief was almost torn to pieces by her.

General Li has always loved his daughter as if her life. Seeing his daughter's distraught look, he couldn't help but comfort her and said: "Don't be sad, Zhu'er. Dad will definitely find a way to make you get what you want!"

Li Ruizhu heard this and immediately burst into laughter. She said coquettishly: "Dad is so good. Dad still loves me..."

……*……*……

The sky was dim and shone into the bedroom of Yukun Palace. Queen Mo opened her eyes. The bottom of her eyes was as cool as water, and there were no waves.

At this time, there was only one maidservant left in the palace, and there were not many guards guarding outside the palace. The death of the emperor in the past few days made the palace people panic. Everyone was worried about who would inherit the throne.

If the prince ascended the throne, everything would be fine, but if the King of Qin ascended the throne, they would not forgive them for abusing Queen Mo. Therefore, the maids and eunuchs tried every means to run forward every day to find out some information about the court.

Queen Mo sat up, and the maid hurried forward, wanting to help her up, but Queen Mo raised her hand to stop her.

"Go and pour me a cup of scented tea, I want the scented tea in the green bamboo tube, brewed with boiling water!"

The maid hesitated for a moment, Queen Mo suddenly stood up and shouted: "Go quickly!"

"Uh... yes..."

The majesty of the queen is not something that everyone can bear, and the maid went to bed in a hurry under Queen Mo's angry shout.

Finally, it was quiet. She dozed off for a day and a night, and finally when there was no one around, Queen Mo got up and sat, revealing the clusters of peony flowers carved and inlaid with red coral from the East China Sea on the backrest of the gold-inlaid couch. The flowers were in full bloom, and butterflies were playing with each other. Queen Mo pressed the pistil, and with a click, the pistil sank, and a secret drawer suddenly slid out from the couch pillow.

The pillow was carved with scrolls, and it was so ingenious that it was hidden in a secret drawer.

There was a note hidden in the secret drawer. Queen Mo quickly opened it and saw several lines of dense words on it. After reading the note, Queen Mo turned it over, bit her finger, and quickly wrote a few lines with blood, and then put the note back into the secret drawer.

As soon as the door was closed, the little palace maid brought the flower tea over and said softly: "My queen, please have tea!"

Queen Mo took the tea, and her face was expressionless and cold as usual. She took the cup lid and stirred the flower tea in the teacup. The sound of the cup lid hitting the cup covered the sound of the secret guard taking the letter in the secret passage under the bed.

The bed was quiet, and Queen Mo stopped stirring the tea leaves. She took a sip of the flower tea in the cup slowly and said: "Today's tea is very good, I like it very much!"
