The Flower Guarding Bell Chapter 19: Uninvited guests

His always deep eyes trembled slightly, staring at her with a whole new scrutiny.

Xiao Qingxue knelt down, "My concubine made a mistake, please forgive me."

Even with her head down, she could feel the scorching gaze from above.

For a long time, he helped her up, with a sigh and a smile in his words.

"You see it all."

Xiao Qingxue got up, but did not dare to relax her vigilance.

Then his words continued.

"Then tell me again, what are the powerful officials I want to guard against? What are the foreign troubles I want to worry about?"

Xiao Qingxue pondered the deep meaning behind what he said, and secretly glanced at him out of the corner of the eye, but saw his brows stretched, and there was no sign of displeasure.

Knowing that it was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, I had to bite the bullet and said: "Please forgive the concubines and concubines first."

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of teasing at the corners of his lips.

"Which of your remarks is not a slip of the tongue? Have I ever embarrassed you?"

She looked slightly unexpectedly at the man who seemed to be joking at her, and at this moment his slightly softened face made her a little stunned.

"Changqing..."

She didn't realize that she had murmured, she was stunned, and he was stunned.

But almost immediately, she restrained her gaffe.

"Above the court, in terms of power, the foreign relatives of the descendants should be among them. When one party dominates, it is bound to threaten the monarch's power. As for foreign aggression, the concubines once heard that the emperor was troubled by the small countries in the south, and it eventually became a climate Yes, for Nanling."

Li Changqing didn't make an immediate statement, just habitually buckled the table.

"If it were you, what would you do?"

He didn't get a response from her for a long time, turned his head, but saw her hesitant face.

"But it doesn't matter."

This time, Xiao Qingxue didn't have a long speech, and succinctly spit out four words, "Safe within, resist outside."

"Wrong."

Wrong?

She looked suspiciously at Li Changqing, who was smiling, what was wrong?

I saw him take out the parchment from a corner of the table and unfold it, giving a clear view of Dajing and the surrounding borders.

She opened her eyes slightly, "This is..."

His slender and cocooned fingers pointed to a boundary to the south of Dajing, which was Nan Ling in her mouth.

"My plan is to turn the outside into the inside."

He put it lightly and dropped this sentence that was enough to shock her for a long time.

At that moment, she did not miss the certainty in his eyes. The calm and confident Li Changqing was no longer the frivolous young general he used to be.

He is the emperor, the king who controls the world with a single wave of his hand.

Unlike her father Huang, Chen Guo is just a corner of peace, while Li Changqing is determined to expand the territory.

She has a faint intuition that Dajing's land will exceed her imagination.

How long can she struggle with the master with such a capital?

Currently Xiao Qingxue doesn't know about this issue, and their conversation was interrupted by an uninvited guest.

Internal servants come to report, protect the country Gong Na Quanzhong asks to see.

Na Quanzhong, the father of Queen Na Yunzhe, was named Duke Huguo after Jianjing. However, the over half-hundred-year-old lord seems to be more and more dissatisfied with this recently, and he has a tendency to form a confrontation with Li Changqing.

Xiao Qingxue said that Li Changqing was not annoyed when he said that his powerful officials wanted to usurp him. Presumably, he also noticed it.

This protector of the country has always criticized Xiao Qingxue when it was fair, and now I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to meet.

She just wanted to say goodbye, but Li Changqing pointed to the side room inside.

"You go inside and wait."

Li Changqing's decision surprised her, but she obediently retreated inside. Before leaving, he carefully brought in the suitcase he brought in together.

The side hall of the imperial study was the place where the emperor stayed and rested after handling government affairs. Li Changqing is very busy most of the time and often stays here.

At this time, Xiao Qingxue's attention was all on the outer hall.

She held her breath, listening to the movement outside.
