After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

In the end, Gongsun Zhi was taken to prison and awaited execution in autumn.

Zhao Hu breathed a sigh of relief and winked at several leaders in the crowd, and they quietly left the crowd together.

Yan Qing's heart also settled down.

She didn't expect that she could save Gongsun Zhi so easily, but she didn't expect that the King of Qi would actually bring the Queen's decree to put Gongsun Zhi to death.

He's just a prince consort.

The princess can have as much as she wants.

Why would the Queen care about Lu Mingyue? And why would the King of Qi care about his life or death? He wanted to kill Gongsun Zhi not to avenge Lu Mingyue, but to target her—to target the General's Mansion.

If she hadn't stood behind Gongsun Zhi, the King of Qi wouldn't have cared about Gongsun Zhi's life or death.

Gongsun Zhi said that she had been implicated.

Didn't she also implicate Gongsun Zhi?

So Yan Qing must protect Gongsun Zhi!

The King of Qi glanced coldly at the backs of Zhao Hu and the others as they left. He looked at Yan Qing with a gloomy face: "Second Miss Yan has some tricks!"

Yan Qing remained noncommittal: "Not as good as the prince."

The King of Qi sneered, "Do you think you can survive by continuing to hold Gongsun Zhi back? Won't you still die if you're executed in autumn?"

Yan Qing sneered in response, "Then Your Highness won't have to worry about it."

"Yan Qing, are you determined to become my enemy?"

The King of Qi suddenly approached Yan Qing and threatened her in a voice only the two of them could hear: "If you are willing to marry me, I will forgive the past and ask my sister to forgive Gongsun Zhi. How about that?"

Yan Qing raised her eyes calmly: "Marry the prince? Are you planning to marry me as the Princess of Qi?"

The King of Qi glanced at her and said, "If you hadn't divorced Lu Qiaonan, you could have been my principal wife. But you're already a divorced woman, so the principal wife position is naturally inappropriate. However, I can grant you the title of concubine."

"Ha~"

Yan Qing looked at him sarcastically: "Your Highness, you have such a big face!"

The prime minister's legitimate daughter is the principal wife, and the general's granddaughter is the concubine. This is exactly what Sima Zhao has in mind.

The King of Qi's expression changed slightly.

No one ever dared to contradict him.

Not to mention scolding him so bluntly!

He stared at Yan Qing's beautiful face, neither humble nor arrogant, and gritted his teeth: "Yan Qing, don't be ungrateful. I will give you one last..."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Yan Qing interrupted Ying Chu and knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell."

It was obvious that she didn't want to waste time talking to him, and it was almost written on her face: Get out of here!

Although there was no expression on his face, even Prince Li next to him could feel the tireless feeling.

He said with a half-smile: "Second brother, it seems that Miss Yan is not very welcoming to you..."

"Humph!"

The King of Qi's face turned ashen.

He glared at Yan Qing fiercely, then turned his sleeves and left.

After leaving the Dali Temple, he said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Mo Dao, go and find Lu Qiaonan for me!"

Since Yan Qing refuses to accept my toast, don't blame him for being rude!

……

After the King of Qi left, the others also left one after another.

"Miss Yan, wait a minute!"

At the gate of Dali Temple, Prince Li suddenly called out to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing turned around and saw Prince Li Ying Yuan and Prince Jing Ying Si coming out of the Dali Temple together.

Ying Yuan stepped forward and said, "Second Miss Yan's performance today was truly spectacular. If it weren't for those people cheering her on in the crowd, Gongsun Zhi would have been dead today!"

Yan Qingwen smiled softly and said, "I also want to thank His Royal Highness Prince Li. If it weren't for Prince Li's people guiding the people to the Princess, my people wouldn't have had a chance."

"Hahahaha... Miss Yan is indeed a wonderful person!"

Prince Li was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He did arrange people among the people, and the remarks against the eldest princess and the Wang family of Langya were instigated by his people.

But he didn't expect Yan Qing to know.

As expected, he is the descendant of the General’s Mansion!

Prince Li looked at Yan Qingxiao and joked, "If I didn't already have a princess, I would really want to compete with my second brother and marry her as my concubine..."

"Brother the Great Emperor."

Prince Jing suddenly poked him on the back and said, "The Empress Dowager will be unhappy..."

Prince Li snorted, "She's not here, how could she be unhappy?"

"is it?"

An unfamiliar female voice suddenly sounded.

Yan Qing turned around and saw a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the Dali Temple.

A palace servant came forward and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and a woman in palace dress slowly got down from the carriage.

The woman raised her eyes and glanced at Prince Li, then turned to Yan Qing: "Let me see what kind of beauty can make His Majesty regret marrying me..."

"Oh! What a beauty!"

The woman walked up to Yan Qing and looked her up and down. "This look and this figure are indeed better looking than when I was young. No wonder the prince is so bold and covetous—"

When she said the last sentence, the woman's face suddenly darkened and her voice became gloomy.

Turning around and twisting Prince Li's ear, the woman roared, "Ying Yuan, I think you're a toad dreaming of eating swan flesh, aren't you? Don't you even look at yourself? You still want to marry the general's granddaughter as your concubine? Are you worthy? Are you worthy?"

Prince Li cried out, "Don't, don't, let go!"

"I won't let it go!"

Princess Li grabbed Prince Li's ear and said, "What did you say when you married me? How come you're already thinking about having affairs after just a short while? If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll never let you go!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Ting'er, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Prince Li immediately tried to defend himself, but seeing that Princess Li ignored him, he could only move towards the carriage: "Let's go back to the palace and talk about it. Let's go back to the palace and talk about it. As for Third Brother and Second Miss Yan, I'll leave first..."

"You're still reluctant, aren't you?"

Seeing that he was still thinking about Yan Qing before leaving, Princess Li immediately kicked him into the carriage. Then she turned around, straightened her messy clothes, and gave Yan Qing a friendly smile: "Miss Yan, don't worry, I will definitely discipline the outsider and prevent him from harassing you again."

Yan Qing bowed with a smile: "In that case, thank you very much, Princess Li."

Only after the carriage from Prince Li's Mansion drove away did Yan Qing straighten up and look at the carriage with deep thought in his eyes.

Princess Li is the legitimate daughter of General Weiyuan, whose wife is from the Cui clan, Prince Li's mother's family. Princess Li and Prince Li are cousins ​​and can be considered childhood sweethearts.

In the previous life, Yan Qing had no contact with Princess Li, but she never expected that she would be such a person.

It is quite different from the noble ladies in Kyoto.

"Phew~ I'm scared to death!"

Prince Jing suddenly clutched his chest and said, "The eldest sister-in-law is the scariest. I didn't expect her to suddenly appear. Fortunately, I was alert and sold out my eldest brother, so the sister-in-law didn't have time to pay attention to me..."

Yan Qing turned around and said with a smile, "Did His Royal Highness Prince Jing offend Princess Li?"

"No, who would dare to offend her?"

Prince Jing shook his head repeatedly: "It's all because of mother. She insisted on choosing a concubine for me. I didn't want to get married, so mother asked the eldest sister-in-law to persuade me. You don't know how terrifying the sister-in-law is..."

Just as Prince Jing was about to recount the terrifying things about Princess Li, the palace attendant who had just helped Princess Li out of the carriage suddenly turned back, walked up to Prince Jing, and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, the Princess has invited several ladies to the Prince Li residence for tea. Your Highness, please come with them."

Prince Jing immediately said, "Well, I suddenly remembered that I still have some unfinished business with the Imperial Guards. I won't go for tea. Yan Er, take your leave..."

After saying this, Prince Jing ran away.

Yan Qing looked at Prince Jing's back, then looked at the palace maid.

The palace maid was not surprised at all. She knelt down and bowed to Yan Qing before taking her leave.

Yan Qing shook his head and prepared to go to the general's mansion.

When I turned around, I saw a familiar figure standing on the street corner.

In the sunlight, the man was handsome in green clothes.

A pair of dark eyes looked at her steadily, as if no matter when and where, he could always see her in the crowd at a glance.

Yan Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Inexplicably, she thought of the emperor's obsession with her corpse in her dream...

She pursed her lips slightly and stepped forward: "...cousin."

Gu Huaizhou looked at her: "Qingqing."

He no longer called her cousin.

Yan Qing said, "Why are you here?"

Shouldn't he be teaching his cousin at the general's mansion at this time?

"I'll pick you up."

The man spoke softly, looking down at Yan Qing quietly. "We agreed to go to the General's Mansion together every day. How can you break your promise?"

Yan Qing's heart began to beat violently.

She raised her eyes to look at Gu Huaizhou, but saw that the man's eyes were as gentle as water, as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

Yan Qing's heart moved, and she said: "Gu Huaizhou, what are you..." When did you like me...

The last half of the sentence was still lost in his throat.

Yan Qing nodded: "Let's go."

Gu Huaizhou's eyes lit up with joy.

Qingqing did not resist him today!

"it is good."

The man could hardly hide his excitement, and almost subconsciously reached out to hug the woman in his arms, but stopped himself halfway.

No, I can’t scare Qingqing.

He had finally managed to get Qingqing to stop resisting him, and he couldn't let his efforts go to waste. He had to make Qingqing trust him completely.

He can wait.

Yan Qing noticed the man's hand.

Just now she almost asked the biggest question in her heart, but finally calmed down.

Even though the emperor in the dream showed a deep obsession with her, even though Gu Huaizhou in reality treated her very well, even though she was the only one in his eyes at this moment.

Yan Qing still couldn't believe it.

I don't dare to give my true heart again.

Having been hurt once, she was unwilling and afraid to give her heart to anyone again.

The two walked to the general's mansion, one in front and one behind.

Yan Qing was in front and Gu Huaizhou was behind.

Looking at the woman's calm face, the man fell into joy again.

The sun shone down, and the two figures overlapped on the ground. Gu Huaizhou suddenly stretched out his hand and connected with Yan Qing's shadow on the ground without leaving a trace.

Lai Fu behind him saw this scene.

He rolled his eyes as if he was used to it.

My cousin is getting better and better at it. Who can resist him?

Luzhi chuckled and whispered to Qingluan, "My cousin really likes our young lady..."

Qingluan also showed relief in her eyes.

They have seen everything that the cousin has done these days. Compared to Master Lu who only knows how to sweet-talk, the cousin has always been truly helping the young lady share her worries.

If the cousin can help the young lady get over the shadow of being betrayed by Master Lu, they, the maids, are willing to help.

Yan Qing glanced at the shadow on the ground out of the corner of his eye and curled his lips.

She never expected that the future emperor would have such a naughty side. She shook her head and quickened her pace.

Gu Huaizhou immediately followed behind him.

The two of them, one speeding up and the other following, seemed to be competing secretly, and they arrived at the general's mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the general's mansion, I saw a familiar figure sneaking around in front of the door.

"who?"

Yan Qing's cold rebuke startled the man.

When I turned around, it was Wei Yanyan.

Wei Yanyan, thinly dressed, stood at the door of the general's mansion. Seeing Yan Qing, she pursed her lips and suddenly stepped forward and cried, "Second Miss Yan, please let me in to find the young master..."

Yan Qing looked at her pale face and asked, "What do you want from my cousin?"

Wei Yanyan bit her lip, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

Yan Qing said: "If you don't tell me, then I will go in."

"Pfft!"

Wei Yanyan suddenly knelt on the ground, tugged at Yan Qing's sleeve and cried, "Second Miss Yan, I have no choice. I haven't eaten for two days. Let me go in and have something to eat..."

Her behavior instantly attracted the attention of the people.

Yan Qingchao glanced at the people and saw that everyone was pointing and talking at the general's mansion, but she was not angry.

Instead, he looked at Wei Yanyan in surprise: "Why don't you eat?"

Wei Yanyan sobbed, "No, no money..."

Yan Qing was even more surprised: "Didn't I give you some money when you left? Did you spend it all?"

Wei Yanyan felt a lump in her throat. What did she mean by she had spent it all?

What can she do with the little money she gave?

She wiped her tears and said, "The young master used the money to rent a yard, and the rest was used to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone for him. Miss Yan, if I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come here. Please, Miss Yan, be kind and let me in..."

When the people heard this, they sighed.

"Yes, scholars spend a lot of money. It's hard for Miss Wei..."

"I heard she's the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan. I guess she's never experienced the hardships of life, which is why she's like this..."

"Since she has traveled thousands of miles to follow the eldest son of the General's Mansion to Kyoto, the General's Mansion cannot just sit back and watch..."

Listening to the discussions of the onlookers, Wei Yanyan curled her lips and cried even more bitterly: "I don't ask for any status from you, as long as I can serve you. So please, Miss Yan, let me enter your mansion..."

"Wait a moment!"

Yan Qing interrupted Wei Yanyan, who was crying bitterly. She looked at her sincerely and said, "Aren't you serving my eldest cousin now? My eldest cousin has broken with the general's mansion for you. Why is Miss Wei still entering the general's mansion?"

Miss Wei follows my cousin without asking for any official status, so she must be extremely in love with him. And you came all the way to Kyoto with him, so you must be prepared to share the joys and sorrows with him. In that case, isn't it normal to sleep in the open and eat coarse food?

Or is it that everything Miss Wei said just now was false?"

"How can it be!"

Wei Yanyan subconsciously retorted, "I am sincere to you, sir. The sun and the moon can bear witness to that!"

"Then you should stand by your cousin!"

Yan Qing looked at Wei Yanyan disapprovingly. "My cousin made my aunt faint over Miss Wei and cut ties with the General's Mansion, hoping to earn a bright future for her on his own. But now Miss Wei is begging to be admitted to the General's Mansion. Where does that leave my cousin? How can you be worthy of my cousin who has devoted himself to you?"

Wei Yanyan felt a little dizzy.

Yan Qing continued, "If Miss Wei really cared about her cousin, she shouldn't have shown up here and embarrassed him!"
