The Flower Guarding Bell Chapter 24: Invitation with ulterior motives
The reason why it is special is because this title does not follow the ancient system, but is completely based on the monarch's personal wishes, and Xiao Qingxue's position is mentioned below the queen.
Xiao Qingxue was always worried about all these honors.
She still remembers what he said to her.
If she wants a higher position, she has to climb up on her own.
Now, because of this child who shouldn't come, her whole plan has been disrupted.
She didn't know what Li Changqing was planning, but she vaguely felt that there must be an unknown reason why he cared so much about this child.
Of course, she has no way of knowing all this.
She is worried, deeply worried. Li Changqing, who hates herself as much as he hates him, will use these honors to paralyze her and then give her a fatal blow?
She didn't dare to think.
She has become lethargic since she became pregnant, but this has become a torture enough to delay her.
In her dream, her father always accused her of blood. He rebuked her for devoting herself to the enemy's family, and shamelessly pregnant with the enemy's child.
She cried, she pleaded, but every time she woke up screaming in the disappointed eyes of her father.
Lingsu wakes up every time she is frightened, and then always hugs her to comfort her.
Clearly guarded, obviously suspicious, but Xiao Qingxue could not push away the only support at this moment.
But as long as the dawn dispels the night, she will put on delicate makeup and wear the strongest armor.
She is still the Xiao Qingxue who can never be defeated.
Today, she received an invitation from the Empress to go to Qingnian Temple to offer incense.
She agreed.
Lingsu follows her, reminding her of the impure motives the queen may have.
She didn't react, but she had some expectations in her heart.
The queen, she must have hated this child too, right?
With her own thoughts, she was supported by Lingsu to join Na Yunzhe.
Looking at Na Yunzhe, who already had a big belly, Xiao Qingxue felt a little strange in her heart.
Perhaps she should thank the child in her womb at this time, because Li Changqing allowed her not to salute anyone because she was pregnant.
I heard that even the queen never had this honor.
Looking at Na Yunzhe's meager gaze, Xiao Qingxue's heart moved slightly, and an unformed idea followed.
"I advise you to put away those thoughts that you shouldn't have."
The sudden warning sounded beside her shocked her.
Li Changqing's hand squeezed his shoulders tightly, he leaned down slightly, and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, "Xiao Qingxue, remember what you promised me."
After speaking, he walked past her to the queen and began to instruct some insignificant matters.
Xiao Qingxue stood there like an outsider.
Looking at his hand stroking Na Yunzhe's bulging abdomen, the sun hit his face with a gentle smile, at that moment, she only felt astringent and dazzling in her eyes.
At the head of the imperial city wall, Li Changqing looked at the sedan chair that was gradually receding, and his eyes were hazy.
"Aren't you worried?"
Qilixi didn't know when he appeared beside him, looking for his gaze.
Li Changqing didn't answer his question, hiding the obscurity in his eyes, and asked lightly, "Are you all ready?"
Qilixi responded, and out of the corner of the eye saw him leave by himself, while Qilixi's eyes were always in the distance.
For a long time, there was a long sigh in the air.
When Xiao Qingxue and his party arrived at Qingnian Temple, there were a group of monks waiting at the foot of the mountain.
This ancient temple was built in the middle of the mountain, sheltered by the surrounding mountains and almost isolated from the world.
Xiao Qingxue knew about this ancient temple because there was a frivolous young man who brought her here secretly.
Slightly stunned, Xiao Qingxue looked at Lingsu who was calling her softly.
"Miss, are you all right?"
