Li Qingyi was worried about Wang Xuan's safety, but Wang Xuan's action did bring her benefits - Li Qingyi pressured the emperor to stop him from conferring the title of county lord on Wang Xuan, and instead asked the emperor to grant her a private residence and the right to enter the palace.

Yes, not everyone can enter the palace if they want to. Even if they are ladies of noble rank, some of them are not qualified to enter the palace and see the concubines in the harem.

As for whether there was any problem with Wang Xuan's previous script...

Strictly speaking, this can actually be considered an offense to the royal family, but as long as the emperor himself doesn't care, it is actually a trivial matter.

The emperor really didn't care, but he was not willing to let the book continue to circulate. Although he did not punish Wang Xuan for it, he still ordered people to stop printing the corresponding book.

As for going to the public and collecting and destroying the books that have already been sold... the emperor is not that stupid. If he really did that, it would probably have the opposite effect.

Wang Xuan received the reward quietly. Except for a few people who knew about it, no one else knew she existed.

The next day after receiving the reward, Wang Xuan entered the palace.

Summoned by the Queen.

The reason is simple. After all, Wang Xuan has made great contributions. Once Ouyang Yunde's identity is confirmed, even if Ouyang Yunde himself does not speak, the emperor can use Ouyang Yunde's identity to do a lot of things, not to mention that the rebels hidden on the other side will make some noise when they find that their strategist is missing, which also facilitates the actions of the court.

No matter how you look at it, Wang Xuan has actually made a great contribution.

However, Li Qingyi was worried that the emperor would really reward Wang Xuan for this, which would be a waste of time. After learning about the situation, she immediately ran to ask the emperor to change the reward, and the emperor did so.

But both the emperor and the empress felt that this reward was somewhat inferior to the title of county lord, so the empress took the initiative to summon Wang Xuan to meet this little girl that Li Qingyi cared about, and to help the emperor appease her.

As a result, the queen discovered that Wang Xuan... seemed to be really satisfied with the current arrangement, and even seemed relieved that the emperor did not make her famous.

Queen:......

Very good, you know what's going on.

Li Qingyi let the system choose the right time, and when it felt like it was about time, it ran to Kunning Palace to drag Wang Xuan to its own territory. At this moment, the queen was in front of only her confidants and no one else.

"He's a smart one." The queen took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"To be favored by the young prince, there must be something extraordinary about her." The confidant said with a smile.

This statement seems to be praising Wang Xuan, but in fact it is praising Li Qingyi.

The queen hummed softly, put down the teacup, took the hand of her confidant and slowly walked to the palace gate, looking up at the sky above the palace wall: "Very good, smart but not worldly. Girls of this age should be more lively. If she really becomes like those daughters who never leave the house, I will worry that she will lead my Yi'er astray."

"Those delicate and weak girls are liked by men, but when I see them, I just feel pity for them."

It would be fine if their true nature was like that, but it was not. Instead, they cultivated each living being into a template that they thought was weak and easy to bully. As a woman, the queen just felt awkward and annoyed when she saw them.

The confidant knew why the queen said that, and sighed softly in his heart, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as you show your preference to the emperor appropriately, those people below will always understand."

The Queen pinched her brows and said, "I'm afraid the Emperor won't pay attention to these little things, and I don't want to bother him with them. Well, let's pick a good time in autumn to hold a flower-viewing banquet and let those ladies come to the palace to show me what the situation is like outside the palace now."

The confidant naturally agreed and then went to prepare it without mentioning it again.

On the other side, Li Qingyi was unaware of his own mother's upset, and was mumbling to Wang Xuan in the bedroom.

Li Qingyi: "Li Zhuzhen went to the Ministry of Revenue to check the accounts? Why didn't he tell me?"

Wang Xuan whispered back, "He said he wanted to say it, but he always forgot it."

Wang Xuan: "And he didn't go to the Ministry of Revenue. The emperor had someone bring some account books to him. He checked them and found something wrong. He carefully inquired and found out that those account books were taken from the Ministry of Revenue."

Li Qingyi rolled his round eyes and asked, "Is the dark circles under his eyes caused by this?"

Wang Xuan nodded gently and whispered, "He said he was a little scared. Isn't that the kind of plot that is common in movies, TV dramas and novels, where the emperor asks people to clean up the accounts, and then corrupt officials take risks to protect themselves and assassinate the imperial envoy and so on."

Li Qingyi: ...I don't know where to start to criticize this statement.

Never mind, as long as the meaning is clear.

Li Qingyi: "I didn't expect my father to be so fierce..."

Halfway through his words, he got stuck thinking about the emperor's actions during this period.

Li Qingyi lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know the Fifth Prince?"

Wang Xuan: "...You have to tell me the name. I may not remember it."

She has written several ancient romance novels about the palace.

Li Qingyi: "Li Cong."

Wang Xuan tried hard to look through her memory and vaguely found something. "Ah, do you like cultivating immortals?"

Li Qingyi nodded.

Wang Xuan: "I know. I wrote this based on Emperor Jiajing. But Emperor Jiajing was not killed by the palace maids. He should have been killed, but he should have been assassinated when he was in his twenties. What's wrong?"

Li Qingyi: "..."

No wonder.

Li Qingyi briefly explained the matter of the Fifth Prince. In order to find out what her father was thinking, she even mentioned that the Fifth Prince had faked his death.

Wang Xuan opened and closed her mouth: Aba Aba Aba.

Li Qingyi: ...

After a while, Wang Xuan finally figured out a clue with some difficulty and said tentatively: "Although it is a bit outrageous, if it is this emperor, it is not impossible to do such a thing. When he finally decided to pass the throne to the Seventh Princess, he also did something similar, but he was much more ruthless at that time."

After a pause, Wang Xuan said awkwardly, "That's right. Although this person used the template of a wise ruler, he borrowed a little from Emperor Taizong of Tang, that is, he values ​​feelings, but I don't like Li Tai, so... you understand, right?"

Li Qingyi slowly typed a question mark.

What does your dislike of Li Tai have to do with my dad?

Then, she remembered the dispute between Li Erfeng's two sons and let out a sigh slowly.

So, Wang Xuan didn't like Li Tai, so she forced the emperor to take ruthless action in the fight for the throne that would affect the stability of the country?

But... Li Shimin should, probably, perhaps, or probably won't pass the throne to the princess, right?

The sage king is a sage king, but he also has the limitations of a feudal emperor.

This is the prototype of the magic modification.
