I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

The original Xiaoying was either shy or afraid when facing his approach alone, but she never felt angry because she was always grateful to him.

Li Qiyun sat down beside the bed, dripping the melted liquid from the candle at his feet, and asked casually.

"Is this her second escape? Did something happen?"

"Ah Xuan, I really don't understand why you and that Taoist priest insist on saying that I'm not myself. But the last time I ran out of the palace, I seemed to have lost my memory when I came back. When I opened my eyes, you told me that so-and-so had died. My mind went blank. You were very fierce, and I didn't dare to say anything to you. Later, in the Queen Mother's Palace, some memories slowly recovered in my mind, but I really am myself."

As she spoke, Yueying burst into tears, and this time she was crying with real emotion.

My life is in danger. Where did little P go? Yueying was a little anxious.

Looking at this face, Li Qiyun was a little unable to get angry. He said that he did not believe in ghosts, so rather than what the old Taoist said about reincarnation, he would rather believe Yueying's statement that she had lost her memory for a period of time.

"I'll ask you again, how did you leave the palace a few days ago?"

Yueying gritted her teeth. She didn't know where the unreliable system had gone. It seemed that if she didn't explain something today, she would not be able to get away with it.

"It's an umbrella, a magical umbrella. I wasn't lying when I told you the other day that I helped an old man. He gave me some pills and an umbrella, saying that good people are blessed. This umbrella will help me travel around the world."

"What umbrella?"

Li Qiyun was skeptical and examined Yueying's expression.

"Lift up the cushions."

Yueying signaled with her eyes, and he followed his line of sight and slightly lifted the cushion at the end of the bed, then he saw a square crack, and he lifted the bed board along the edge, and saw a light blue umbrella that seemed to be made of brocade.

Li Qiyun picked up the umbrella, looked up at Yueying with some questions in his eyes, and waited for her answer.

"Open the umbrella and put it on me."

After hesitating for a moment, he chose to believe Yueying and did not ask anyone else to come in. He just did as she said. However, he did not expect that the moment the umbrella handle touched Yueying's skin, the person and the umbrella in front of Li Qiyun disappeared together.

"Little Shadow."

"I'm still here."

When Li Qixuan heard Yueying's response, the panic he had just felt was gone.

Yueying moved and separated the umbrella from her body, and Li Qixuan saw the little man still tied up on the bed and the open umbrella again.

"The old man said that this thing is a miracle and will recognize its master, but he wanted to test whether I am a kind person, so he pretended to be a refugee to see what kind of heart I have."

This was the excuse she had thought of. After all, this umbrella is also a magical artifact.

"So you met a god?"

"probably."

“Have you ever tried letting someone else hold the umbrella?”

Li Qixuan fiddled with the exquisite umbrella back and forth with a calm expression, and Yueying couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"How dare I? I haven't done anything yet. I just ran out to raise some money, and you think I'm a monster..."

As she spoke, Yueying started to cry loudly.

If Li Qiyun had not just witnessed the scene of Yueying disappearing, he would not have accepted this statement so quickly.

Seeing the little girl he raised crying out of breath, he finally softened his heart.

"Alright, alright. The Treasure Pavilion is the Royal Intelligence Station. You insisted that what happened to the shopkeeper's grandson a few days ago was a few months ago. I checked all the entrances and exits to the palace, but there is no record of you entering or leaving. Tell me, am I afraid that you are controlled by a monster?"

Yueying pursed her lips. Well, it turned out that she was just being stubborn and ended up in trouble.

"Ah Xuan, it hurts~"

Li Qixuan coaxed Yueying, pulled her into his arms and held her in his arms, and untied the ropes on her hands and feet.

"You didn't tell me about this umbrella. Are you still planning to use it to escape?"

"Didn't I come back last time obediently? And I also told you what I was worried about. Why should I run away?"

Yueying rubbed her red wrist, deliberately showing the red mark to Li Qixuan, and then complained.

"You must keep this umbrella well. Since it is a sacred object, do not use it carelessly and do not tell anyone else about it."

"I didn't plan to tell anyone else except you, so please stop being angry."

Yueying wrapped her arms around the emperor's waist, followed his posture, and leaned into his arms, with the sound of his steady and strong heartbeat ringing in her ears.

"Ding, the male protagonist's dark value is 38%."

When Yueying heard the mechanical voice broadcast, she knew that she had gotten away with it again this time.

"Girl, girl."

A little later, the door opened and Haitang hurried in. Seeing that Yueying looked well, she glanced at the emperor cautiously, then knelt down to pay her respects.

Since Xiaoli left, she had been the one serving Yueying closely. At first, she felt that the girl had changed a little, except that she had become more cheerful. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and she would never think that she had changed her heart.

Especially after they left the palace, the two lived as ordinary people for two days. Not only did they leave a lot of money for themselves when they left, but they also found a way to remove themselves from the palace after returning.

Even if she were asked to admit that Yueying was possessed by a demon, she would never admit it even if she died.

"Haitang's hand?"

Yueying noticed at first glance that Haitang's fingers were tortured. She turned her head to look at Li Qiyun who was holding her. The latter looked a little embarrassed and touched his nose.

"I just wanted to ask you what's different about you in the past six months."

Yueying took the opportunity to show her temper and asked Li Qiyun to agree to give Haitang a favor and open her own shop in the capital.

In this world, a woman can only do business if she has no father, brother or husband at home. The dowry of a woman after marriage usually falls on the servants. Haitang is rich now, but she also has brothers, and it is easy for her to be plotted against in the future. Therefore, the grace that Yueying wants is not big, but it is very practical.

"Have you heard? The emperor invited the Imperial Observatory to the palace a few days ago, and later invited an immortal to the East Court Hall."

"I heard that it was Taoist Priest Qichuan who was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."

"What immortal? I'm afraid he's not the messenger of childbirth."

"How to say?"

"I heard that the old Taoist set up a formation in the East Palace to help the Queen pray for a child, but he accidentally injured the Queen instead."

"No wonder the emperor sent him directly to prison."

"Yes, this Taoist priest Qichuan has experienced three generations of emperors and has profound Taoist skills. The emperor is not afraid..."

"He is just a Taoist priest. The emperor is the true dragon emperor. What is there to be afraid of?"

The Queen Mother was in the inner hall, listening to the chatter of concubines outside the hall who were paying their respects as the palace maids reported to them, and she squeezed the Buddhist beads in her hand.

"There is not a single useful thing."

"On the other hand, Concubine Qin stood quietly to the side with a cold expression, and did not join in the conversation among the concubines."

"She was born a slave and was not favored by the emperor, so she only had some empty reputation."

The Queen Mother had come to see her nephew and adopted son more clearly during this period of time. She just loved the little girl from the Zhao family very much, and her attitude towards Qin Hanyan was no different from that of other concubines in the harem. The only better thing was that she had people take good care of her in life.

Recently, she had forcibly stuffed two girls selected from the side branches of the Shen family into the harem. Both of them were like fairies, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get even a bit of favor from them.

"But I see that maybe the punishment was too severe last time. Concubine Qin's temperament is now very different from before."

The old nanny massaged the Queen Mother's shoulders and spoke close to her ear.

"Before, the emperor gave her a lot of rewards, but Concubine Qin was still petty. Now that the emperor doesn't give her so many rewards, she eats, dresses and dresses more decently, and her temperament is different."

Shen Huanxi became interested after hearing this, and a hint of color appeared on her face.

"There are many experts in the harem."

The old lady nodded and agreed.

"The Emperor sent two old maids to her."

"It is a good thing that the flower buds in the Imperial Garden are willing to bloom. Sooner or later, the garden will be filled with spring."

The Queen Mother looked at the vase on the table with a smile. Inside were branches of flowers covered with morning dew that she had picked that morning.

In order to prevent Yueying from meeting the Queen Mother more often, Li Qiyun sent the daughter of the Shen family to the palace early in the morning in exchange for the imperial decree that Yueying was exempted from paying respects due to her illness.

What the empress dowager didn't expect was that Yueying, as the Empress of the Central Palace, had never come to the Cining Palace to pay her respects. If she didn't vent her anger openly, she would naturally do it in secret.

On this day, Li Qiyun went to the Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager as usual.

"How is the Queen Mother?"

"Emperor, I have been feeling unwell recently and have a poor appetite. Please accompany me for dinner."

Seeing that the person serving him was Concubine Ling, who was sent to the palace by the Shen family, Li Qiyun was much more careful when eating and did not drink. Surprisingly, the Queen Mother did not force him to eat anything, but made him wonder what his aunt's trick of pretending to be sick meant.

After the meal, the Queen Mother still did not try to persuade Li Qiyun to stay and let him leave the Cining Palace.

On the way back to the East Palace, the emperor met Qin Hanyan. Li Qixuan always gave her enough face in the harem, so when she asked the emperor to sit for a while, Li Qixuan did not refuse.

The two went to the Pepper Room and chatted for a while. Qin Hanyan also showed off the new music she had learned.

In the East Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's already this hour. The Emperor probably won't come tonight, right?"

It was late at night. Yueying was sitting at the table fiddling with the black and white pieces, playing against herself. When she heard Hongye's voice, the piece in her hand suddenly fell onto the board.

Even if it's a mission, even if there's no romantic connection, people will still feel jealous, right?

Yueying thought so.

"Wait a little longer... or let Xiao Lizi go ask Manager He?"

Just as he was giving the order, he heard Lu Yao come in with a resentful voice.

"Your Majesty, please take a rest. Steward He sent someone to say that the Emperor will not be back tonight."

"Is he still in the Pepper Room?"

"The eunuch who delivered the message said that Manager He didn't tell him."

"Does Manager He need to tell him? Doesn't he know where he came from?"

"Your Majesty, I guess the Queen Mother is making things difficult for the Emperor again today."

Yueying knew what Hongye meant. The emperor rested at Qin Hanyan's place probably to help her disperse the firepower, but she actually felt a little sad in her heart.

"Close the door, and go to sleep."

The pain in her heart reminded Yueying of the world she was in with black hair. Although it was vague, she seemed to have had this feeling before.

"Xiao P, are you there?"

"Host, what's wrong?"

"Have my feelings about love been restored?"

"Host has feelings?"

"I heard that Li Qiyun slept with someone else, and I felt a little sad. Mainly because I couldn't tell whether it was because of possessive jealousy or because I had feelings for him and was sad."

Little P was very worried and it didn't want to tell the host, but this was the Nth time the host had questioned this matter. Alas, it was all caused by the fragments of the Lord God.

"I haven't detected any information about your emotional system being repaired, but you humans have infinite possibilities after all, right?"

For some reason, Yueying always felt that what the system said made sense, but it also seemed to have a hidden meaning. She didn't ask anything, so she had to stop the topic again.

"Ying'er, yesterday I..."

After the morning court session, Li Qiyun hurried to the East Court Hall and sent all the palace people out as soon as he entered.

"Ah Xuan, let's have our meal."

Yueying did not sleep well last night. She must have had nightmares all night. When she woke up, she could not remember what she dreamed about. She just touched the pillow and found it was a little wet.

She had been in a low mood since she woke up in the morning, and even when she saw Li Qiyun coming, there was no change in her mood.

"Are you angry?"

The man smiled, held her in his arms, and was about to coax her.

"As the queen, I should be in charge of expanding the family for the emperor. Why should I be angry?"

Yueying said that she didn't care, but her tone was full of sarcasm.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you, yesterday it was the Queen Mother..."

"Your Majesty, it is your responsibility to continue the royal family, and of course it is also mine, so you don't need to explain."

Yueying was feeling upset and didn't want to listen to his explanation at all. She just wanted to stop talking about it and didn't care about Li Qiyun's condition. She restrained her emotions, put on a smile, and put her arms around his shoulders, as if she wanted to show her magnanimity.

"So Ying'er didn't mind at all when I stayed at the Pepper Palace yesterday?"

Li Qiyun loosened his arms that were holding her slightly, and lifted her face up to face him.

"It would be a lie to say that you don't care at all, but you have to do this when you are in this position, right?"

"Don't say anything angry, Xiaoying. I will be unhappy."

Haha, he went to sleep with someone else, and then he said some mean things to her later, and he’s still unhappy?

"I didn't say that in anger. Life is so long, and the concubines in the harem can't always be widows. You can bear it, but I can't."

If other emperors heard this, the queen might think it was magnanimous and the emperor and queen were joking with each other, but when Li Qiyun heard this, it was a completely different story.

His arms loosened, and he stood up and put the man down.

"Ding, the male protagonist's dark value is 55%."

"The Queen is so generous. Are you still planning to arrange for me to sleep with you?"

Li Qixuan smoothed his dragon robe, feeling a sense of suffocation in his chest. He clenched his fists and smiled at Yueying, but that smile was too superficial.

"If the emperor is willing, I can also help you arrange a sleeping schedule."

Yueying was not to be outdone and responded with a smile.
