The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Li Qingluo thought: She knows a lot.

However, today she just wanted to scare Qu.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Mother, what you have done is clear to all, and the truth will come out one day."

Qu's face turned completely pale: "Don't talk nonsense, mother only did it for Zhu'er's sake..."

Li Qingluo: "Really? Liu Qingzhu is really brave. She can make you swallow such a huge pile of shit without even saying a word."

Li Qingzhu's words made Qu's eyes red with anger: "I am your mother after all, why do you have to treat me like this!?"

Li Qingluo closed his eyes and didn't bother to look at her: "Isn't that how you treat me?"

Before Qu could say anything more, Madam Pei impatiently scolded her again, "Shut up! If you speak again, I won't let you enter the palace today! Get out!"

Mrs. Pei didn't want to look at Qu any more and drove her off the carriage.

Qu got off the general's carriage in a panic, holding her crooked hair bun, with tears in her eyes, and quickly got into the carriage where Que'er and the others were sitting.

When Mrs. He learned about the quarrel here, there was still a gentle smile on her kind face.

She twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and murmured, "It seems that Pei really regards this girl as the apple of his eye, just as the rumors say."

"But this Qu is so useless. She was kicked off the carriage by her mother-in-law like this. How pathetic."

On his face, which was as compassionate as a bodhisattva, he couldn't help showing a bit of disgust when talking about Qu.

The granddaughter beside her asked, "Grandma, since Old Madam Pei values ​​Li Qingluo so much, if she really refuses to agree to this marriage, then Brother Xun...wouldn't his joy be in vain?"

Another granddaughter followed up, "Yes, I just saw that Fourth Brother seemed very pleased with Li Qingluo's appearance. Although she grew up in the mountains, now that she's been raised in a wealthy family, she's truly a beauty."

"She's lucky to be able to marry our brother Xun!"

Madam He: "She is just an old woman, how can she meddle in her granddaughter's marriage? Whatever she says is fine."

"If she doesn't agree, then just silence her."

As she spoke, Madam He slowly closed her eyes.

"A woman's marriage has always been decided by her parents and the matchmaker. If Pei insists on having her own opinion and delays her granddaughter's happiness, she deserves whatever happens to her."

The carriage slowly entered the first palace gate.

In front of the Second Palace Gate, all carriages must stop outside and cannot move forward.

The officials' wives got off the carriages one by one with the help of their own servants. After a simple search by the palace servants, they got on the palace carriages or sedan chairs and headed towards the inner palace.

Li Qingluo and Old Madam Pei were still riding in the same carriage. After an unknown amount of time, Old Madam Pei's waist began to ache.

"People are old and useless! When my grandmother was young, she suffered some injuries on the battlefield. At first, she didn't think it was a big deal, but now that she's old, she can't stand the changes in the world."

Li Qingluo rubbed her grandmother's waist with concern.

"Grandma, will this make you feel better?"

Madam Pei squinted her eyes happily: "It's comfortable. Grandma has you now. She is really starting to enjoy her life."

After a pause, she continued, "Luo'er, don't be afraid of your mother's thoughts today. With Grandmother here, no matter how she acts, it won't be of any use!"

Li Qingluo: "Grandma, Luo'er believes you. But, what exactly is this Qu family up to? It seems like for more than a decade now, there's been a Qu family hand subtly stirring up trouble in the Li family's inner sanctum... Grandma, what are they planning?"

Mrs. Pei had a guess in her mind.

But how could she tell Luo'er those dirty things?

"Don't worry about the adults' affairs for now. Follow me all the way today. Don't be alone. Do you understand?"

Li Qingluo nodded, knowing that her grandmother didn't want to talk to her about the Qu family, so she didn't mention it anymore.

But Madam Pei began to mutter and curse Qu again: "What a fool! Minister Qu is indeed a high-ranking official, but Xun'er's father is just a small-time county magistrate. Why didn't she mention it?"

"How can Xun'er, with his appearance, be worthy of you?"

Li Qingluo laughed helplessly. In her grandmother's eyes, she wondered what kind of man would make her feel worthy of being her grandson-in-law?

As she spoke, Madam Pei suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait! Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

The palace for tonight's banquet is Zhaohua Palace.

Madam Pei, who had been to the palace countless times, remembered that it only took half a minute to get to Zhaohua Palace from the second gate. Why did she take so long today but still not arrive?

She lifted the curtain and saw that this road did not lead to Zhaohua Palace at all!

Besides her and Luo'er's carriage, only Qu's sedan chair was following behind. Even Madam Zhang, Madam Deng, Que'er and the others were nowhere to be seen.

But this is the imperial palace...

Madam Pei lowered the curtain and looked at Li Qingluo: "It seems that we have a distinguished guest today."

Li Qingluo looked at her grandmother in confusion: "Someone took us away alone? Is my mother also behind us?"

Madam Pei nodded: "Luo'er, why don't you guess who wants to meet our family privately?"

Li Qingluo was silent for a moment, then replied, "Empress."

In her previous life, she had just come out of the mountains and really didn't have much experience.

But after her rebirth, she became more and more cautious.

Some things that I didn't understand in my previous life, I am now understanding through continuous learning.

For example, why did Prince Yun still take Liu Qingzhu into his harem even though she had already returned to the Liu family and became an ordinary commoner's daughter, and even her reputation was so ruined?

Li Qingluo in his previous life would definitely not understand it.

But in this life, she cleared away the fog and gradually glimpsed the truth.

Prince Yun did all those things with Liu Qingzhu, and even when Liu Qingzhu caused him to lose a child, he did not abandon Liu Qingzhu. Was he really just obsessed with her, Liu Qingzhu, and found it so hard to let go of her?

If she really loves him deeply, is the eldest daughter of a general's family not worthy of the title of a concubine or even a principal wife?

After all, when he knew Li Qingzhu's true identity, he had always treated her as a chess piece or a plaything to be manipulated.

Therefore, Li Qingluo believed even more that Prince Yun had other intentions from the beginning.

Moreover, Li Qingluo’s tragic death in the previous life was also closely related to Prince Yun.

If it weren't for the self-immolation and fake death he planned with Liu Qingzhu, Li Qingluo wouldn't have met with a tragic end so quickly.

In this life, he still colluded with Liu Qingzhu to plot against himself.

They wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but unfortunately, they didn't fall into the cage they painted.

Moreover, I have completely disrupted their plans in this life, so naturally they will not be willing to accept this.

Li Qingluo sneered in her heart: She spared Liu Qingzhu's life, not only because she wanted to see how hard she fell, but also because Prince Yun must fall into the abyss of hell with her!

Li Qingluo guessed correctly, the three of them did stop outside the Queen's Fengqi Palace.

The head maid came out with her chin raised, looked at the three of them indifferently, and said, "Madam Pei, General's wife, and Miss Li. The Empress has been waiting for a long time. Please enter the palace."

The other palace maids behind him immediately came forward and brought them in without waiting for Li Qingluo and the others to react.

Mrs. Qu was so frightened that she was shaking all over. Li Qingluo supported Mrs. Pei and remained calm.

As soon as she entered the house, she was shocked by everything she saw.

Even in this winter, the garden is full of new scenes at every step. Flowers are placed everywhere. You can smell the fragrance of flowers when you look down and see butterflies dancing when you look up.

The scenery everywhere is so exquisite and elegant that it seems like the work of nature. It is something Li Qingluo has never seen in his two lifetimes.

As soon as you enter the hall, the first thing you see are sandalwood beams, crystal jade lamps, pearl curtains, and gold column bases.

The curtains were embroidered with golden crabapple blossoms, and the floor was paved with white jade bricks.

Everywhere is extremely luxurious and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, which is enough to make people astonished.

In this world, there are people who cannot even afford a mouthful of rice or flour, and they live just to survive.

And the most beautiful lady living in this palace is probably someone that even the poorest people in the world have never seen.

Sitting on the high throne in the main hall of Fengqi Palace was a woman with elegant and graceful clothes and a delicate face without a single flaw. She was the most noble woman in the world, Empress Gao.

Li Qingluo and the other two immediately knelt down.

"Your humble servants and your humble servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, and a thousand thousand years..."

Li Qing lowered his eyes.

This was the first time she called herself a subject since she returned to Jinling in this life.

Deep down, she didn't want to live under Li Chaojing's glory, so she always stubbornly called herself a "common woman" in her heart.

But now that he has entered the palace, he has no choice but to bow his head and know the situation.

In a corner of the palace, there was a person standing at this moment. It was the person that Li Qingluo was not surprised to see today - Liu Qingzhu.

Liu Qingzhu was looking at Qu with red eyes.

Qu naturally saw her as well.

"Pearl..."

She almost blurted out.

But when she thought of what Liu Qingzhu had done, she endured it again.

After all, this was the queen's palace, so she didn't dare to make loud noises.

"Mrs. Pei, please get up quickly."

The Queen raised her hand to support him. "I saw your elegance when I was young. Seeing you again today, you are still as majestic and imposing as you were back then. Good!"

"It's a pity that you retired from the court so early. Otherwise, with you as our Daliang's only female general, our country would surely be even more glorious than before."

Madam Pei: "Your Majesty, I am so flattered by your praise. I do not deserve it!"

The Queen smiled but didn't say anything. "Come here, hurry up and give Madam Pei a seat!"

The palace maid brought a stool to Old Madam Pei. After thanking her, Old Madam Pei sat down with only half of her buttocks left.

The queen's gaze shifted slightly and fell on Li Qingluo.

"Are you the biological daughter of the General's Mansion? Raise your head and let me see you."

Li Qingluo did not dare to hesitate and slowly raised his head, but he still kept his eyes down and could not look directly at Feng Yan.

Seeing that she had behaved well, the queen nodded.

"Old Madam Pei is indeed from the Duke's Mansion. It's really not easy for her to teach you so well in such a short time."

Mrs. Pei had a smile on her face, but the warmth in her eyes gradually faded.

After all, everyone in Jinling knew that she had been rejected by the Peiguo Mansion a long time ago, and now she had not even returned to her parents' home for decades.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Luo'er is still far from her level."

Queen Gao waved her hand indifferently.

She stopped being polite and went straight to the point, stating the reason why she invited them here today.

"I have already heard from Xiao Si about the story of the real and fake daughter of your general's mansion."

"Although this matter is indeed incredible, the combination of these mistakes, besides human planning, is it not also God's will?"

"Also, the misunderstanding and dispute between your General's Mansion and Xiao Si are definitely related to this matter."

"Liu, why don't you come forward quickly?"
