In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

The next day, Princess Yonghe dressed up carefully and sent a palace maid to Lu's mansion to invite Lu Fengyun to meet her at the temple.

The maid held a letter in her hand and handed it to Lu Fengyun, conveying the princess's will: "Mr. Lu, our princess wants to meet you at the temple today. There are some things that need to be told to you in person. If you don't go, I'm afraid His Majesty will find out about it."

Seeing that Princess Yonghe came to invite him in the name of His Majesty, Lu Fengyun could not refuse. He took the letter with both hands, stuffed it into his sleeve, and followed the palace maid to the gate of the temple.

When Lu Fengyun was led into the temple, Princess Yonghe was already waiting for him. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked particularly beautiful. Seeing Lu Fengyun coming, Princess Yonghe smiled and greeted him, saying softly, "Mr. Lu, I have something important to tell you."

"Your Highness, please speak." Lu Fengyun bowed to show that he was willing to listen.

Princess Yonghe first said with a smile: "I have heard about what happened between you and Miss Qi, and I also know that you have special feelings for her. However, I hope you can understand that I have a deep love for you. I hope you can become my husband and accompany me for the rest of my life. I will do my best to help you."

Although Lu Fengyun was very angry at Princess Yonghe for her misconduct and for making him lose face, he did not show it on his face.

When he heard Princess Yonghe's deep love for him, his mood became even more complicated. He felt that this woman had both embarrassed him and given him face. Her words and actions were really incomprehensible.

At this moment, Lu Fengyun suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity. If he could take advantage of this opportunity, he might be able to get more benefits. Thinking of this, he decided to seize this opportunity.

He deliberately put on a proud attitude and smiled at Princess Yonghe, as if to tell her: "I accept your love, but I will not give up my dignity easily."

Princess Yonghe saw this and said, "I originally had a verbal engagement with the Duke's Mansion, but we didn't go ahead because our horoscopes were incompatible. Li Shizi turned love into hatred, and he said nonsense before he died, so Mr. Lu, please don't believe it."

Lu Fengyun glanced at Princess Yonghe and saw that her expression was unnatural and her eyes were flickering when she spoke. He knew in his heart that she was lying. He looked down on her and lowered his head without saying a word.

Princess Yonghe looked at Lu Fengyun, whose handsome appearance, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and handsome face were like jade, and waves of passion surged in her heart.

She is already a woman, and her preference for men is no longer that of a simple girl. Now, she is more like a mature woman, and her preference for men is full of possessiveness and a sense of conquest.

At this moment, Princess Yonghe was like an experienced hunter. She knew that if she wanted to capture her desired prey, she had to throw out bait that the prey could not resist.

So, she pretended to be virtuous and said to Qi Lu Fengyun: "Since I know that Mr. Lu is in love with the eldest daughter of the Qi family, I will naturally try my best to make her your concubine."

Hearing this, Lu Fengyun frowned and said worriedly: "But I'm afraid the Qi Mansion won't agree to this easily!"

He knew very well that when he wanted to marry Miss Qi as his principal wife, the Qi family had not agreed, let alone wanting Miss Qi to be his concubine, which would be extremely difficult.

Princess Yonghe was jealous and resentful, but she smiled flatteringly: "Anything is possible. As long as the Qi family is convicted, the eldest daughter of the Qi family will be desperate. I'm afraid she will be more than happy to be Mr. Lu's concubine."

"Could it be that she would rather go to a brothel?" Princess Yonghe teased. She cursed in her heart, "After I get Lu Fengyun, I will definitely send the eldest daughter of the Qi family to a brothel to receive customers!"

Lu Fengyun only wanted to get the eldest daughter of the Qi family. He asked awkwardly: "What if the Qi family can't be convicted for the time being?"

Princess Yonghe thought this was a possibility, so she set the date of her wedding in the first month of the lunar calendar.

After a conversation between the two, Princess Yonghe understood Lu Fengyun's thoughts: "As long as I can get the eldest daughter of the Qi family, he will accept me."

Princess Yonghe suddenly had an idea and set up a trap: "I'll ask my mother to summon Miss Qi. How dare she refuse? Then I'll have someone drug her and send her to you. You can keep her as your own."

Lu Fengyun thought for a while and nodded, "Okay!" He agreed to Princess Yonghe, which means he made a deal with Princess Yonghe.

In order to marry Lu Fengyun smoothly, Princess Yonghe even traded a lady from a noble family with her fiancé.

Qi Wan had no grudges against Princess Yonghe, but was ruthlessly used as a stepping stone by Princess Yonghe.

After Princess Yonghe returned to the palace, she went to Queen Mother Li to cry and complain. She made up an excuse and said to Queen Mother Li: "Mother, my daughter went out of the palace to play today, but ended up being wronged. Someone offended my daughter. You must help my daughter!"

Empress Dowager Li frowned and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Princess Yonghe continued to cry and said, "When I took people to the Qi Mansion's aromatherapy shop to buy incense, someone bumped into us."

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, her face turned serious and she said majestically, "Who is so bold as to offend the princess? I will send someone to seal up that shop right away."

Princess Yonghe quickly waved her hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. The shop can be kept for the time being. Let's deal with the people first." If she dealt with Miss Qi now, how could she lure Master Lu to her bed?

Empress Dowager Li looked at Princess Yonghe in confusion, and saw a sly look in Princess Yonghe's eyes. Then she smiled and said, "When the New Year comes, you can order Miss Qi to be summoned to the palace. At that time, let your daughter handle the rest of the matters."

Queen Mother Li thought this was just a trivial matter, so she nodded absentmindedly and agreed: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Now Empress Dowager Li’s mind is entirely on her natal family.

When she saw that the Duke Huiguo's Mansion had been demoted to a marquis's mansion by the Emperor, she was very afraid that the Emperor would continue to attack the Li Mansion.

No matter whether she was annoyed with the Li Mansion or not, it was her mother's home after all and her support in the palace.

Empress Dowager Li has always been very clear that her parents' family is very important to her.

When the emperor came to pay his respects, she cried, "Your Majesty, how could our Li family have the guts to disobey the royal family? Weiwei was taught by someone else."

"Who is it?" the emperor roared at his mother.

Empress Dowager Li knew who the emperor hated the most now.

After so many years in the harem, she has mastered the art of diverting trouble away.

She cried to the emperor, "Li Weiwei has always been on good terms with Qi Yuan, the second master of the Qi Mansion. The Qi Mansion had just had its military power taken away by the emperor, and Qi Ze's position as the minister was given to Lu Fengyun. Qi Yuan, the second master of the Qi Mansion, was dissatisfied, so he taught Li Weiwei to make trouble with our royal family and let outsiders laugh at him."

She mentioned the past again, "Our Duke's Mansion has been supporting you for many years. They have suffered so much for you."

"Back then, the Second Prince falsely accused the Emperor of embezzling 500,000 silver coins from the bridge construction project. It was the Duke's Mansion that came out and admitted that they were incompetent. The Duke's Mansion was deprived of the lucrative job of building the bridge by the late Emperor."

"And that time..."

After the empress dowager's attempt to divert the blame and her cries of recalling the past, the new emperor transferred all his hatred for the Li family to the Qi family.

The new emperor swore, "When I receive the silver Qi Xiang sends back to Guangzhou, I will destroy the Qi family!"
