No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

After Princess Shizuko's farce, Goguryeo's subsequent proper tribute made people feel much more comfortable.

There is no harm without comparison. Goguryeo also paid tribute in this way in previous years, and people still looked down on it.

It feels like a poor relative comes to ask for money, and you can only smile and compliment him.

But this time, Japan really went too far, and everyone started to think Goguryeo was cute.

It's true that I'm not a good person, but at least I don't cause any trouble. I'm sensible~~~

The Fourth Master accepted the tribute and bestowed rewards according to custom, and today's state banquet reached its climax.

Li Cheng originally wanted to try to figure out whether there was a chance to find a wife.

But as soon as the main course came, he forgot all about it and only cared about eating.

After eating a piece of Dongpo pork, he almost cried because of its delicious taste.

woohoo~~

What a divine delicacy this is!

Even if someone marries him, that's fine.

Yaliqi almost laughed out loud at his funny look.

The men around her are either calm and steady or mischievous.

It's rare to see someone as... so cheerful as this prince of Goguryeo.

Apart from anything else, just seeing him like this could make her happy for a while longer.

The Empress Dowager had told her since she was a child that she should play with people who could make her laugh more often and not to suppress herself.

Yaliqi even drank an extra bowl of soup, thinking that this prince was quite good. Although he looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, he looked almost like a young wife.

She has been like her older brother since she was a child, but there is one thing she cannot change, and that is her gender.

When my eldest brother reaches a certain age, he will definitely marry a sweet and gentle princess, and sooner or later, someone will care about him.

As for her, she can only marry a bad man and has to be virtuous and take care of him.

Now this Li Cheng made her see another kind of man. If she punched this kind of man twice, he would cry, right?

Interesting, want to play~~

Yaliqi was planning to play a trick on the Fourth Prince, and Wu Yunzhu's face turned pale and beads of sweat were dripping down her face.

Yaliqi turned around and saw that she looked unwell. She held back and asked with concern, "Sister, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go back and rest?"

No matter how much she disliked her elder sister, she would not let her embarrass herself in such an important occasion.

If she made a fool of herself, it would bring shame to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, especially causing trouble for the Empress Dowager.

Wu Yunzhu nodded quickly after hearing this: "Yes, yes, my stomach feels uncomfortable. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he quietly stood up and left the table, turned around and walked in another direction.

Soon, the banquet came to an end and Wu Yunzhu never came back.

Yaliqi didn't suspect anything, and when she felt unwell, she went back to rest and didn't pay any attention to it.

After the state banquet ended, the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan joined hands and saw Concubine De and others off, and only then did they feel relieved.

There must be nothing to do today, so I went back to Kunning Palace.

The ones left behind in Kunning Palace were the newly-raised compression springs, which could be put to use.

Xueying and Shuanghua are considered to be the reserve senior palace maids, and both of them are learning from Rendong.

Before they come back, all matters will be arranged properly.

After helping them wash up, they were served hangover soup...

Li finally escaped from the cold palace, and without even taking time to dress up, she entered the Kunning Palace with a plain face as arranged by someone.

But she was open-minded. She would be busy serving the Emperor anyway, and no one would pay attention to her.

If she could get a prince in one fell swoop, then her life would be really good.

When she quietly hid in the inner room, she felt a little relieved, thinking that this man was really capable.

There are so many people inside and outside Kunning Palace, how could she come in so quietly?

Then he imagined the wonderful life in the future and almost laughed out loud.

I almost covered my mouth, and then I heard the emperor's angry shout from outside: "You dog slave! What is this?!"

She was startled and quietly approached the door, trying to look outside.

But these windows are no longer paper-covered, they are made of colored glaze. Although they are gorgeous, you can't see the scenery outside at all.

She first cursed in her heart, "You ignorant servant, please don't ruin her good thing."

Then she became nervous again, wondering if some servant had snatched away her good fortune.

The waiting time was so long that Li felt like she was being scratched by a cat. It was so unbearable.

What’s even more annoying is that there was suddenly no sound outside, completely silent.

So annoying!

Everything was going smoothly, so why did it get stuck at the critical moment? !

Li endured for a few breaths, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. She thought that since there was no one outside, she would quietly take a look to see what was going on.

The door opened a crack and history looked up.

Ouch~~~~

There are one, two, three...three people standing outside the door!

The Fourth Master, Lin Mingyan, and Wu Yunzhu were standing at the door, and the three of them looked at Li quietly together.

Mrs. Li:...Damn, I’m so scared!

She was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe - could it be that Wu Yunzhu was not agile and was discovered by the Emperor? ! ! !

That's not right. That person clearly said that Wu Yunzhu had already been drugged, and that's why he sent her here.

Li's mind was in a mess, almost boiling over, with all sorts of strange thoughts bubbling up in it.

Su Peisheng rushed over from the side and shouted angrily: "Bold Li, why don't you kneel down?!"

He just brought people to capture the others, and finally this Li.

Li's face turned black, and she struggled, "Wait, even if I die, I will be a ghost who understands!"

How did things come to this?

Wu Yunzhu looked at her and sighed, then knelt down: "Royal Father, Royal Mother, I... Li is simply bewildered."

"Since she didn't commit a serious mistake, please spare her life!"

The Fourth Master frowned and said, "In consideration of Wu Yunzhu's meritorious service, Li's death penalty can be spared, but he cannot escape punishment for his crimes."

"Then.....Twenty strokes of the cane, and expel him from the palace!"

When Li heard this, she couldn't even kneel anymore and collapsed to the ground.

The Fourth Master no longer looked at her, but warned her: "If you still remember that you have a child, you should live a quiet life in the future, otherwise..."

He hugged Lin Mingyan tightly, feeling a pang of fear in his heart. If Wu Yunzhu was a little stupid, he might really lose Cha Cha.

It turned out that of the two packets of medicine that Li gave to Wu Yunzhu, the gray one was indeed fine, but the white one was highly toxic, the kind that could be fatal with just a tiny amount.

After Wu Yunzhu got the medicine and comforted Li, she immediately brought her people to Lin Mingyan and explained everything in detail.

Lin Mingyan called Wu to check it out, and then she used the same trick against the enemy.
