Chapter 140 The Queen Mother is sending him away
"Forehead……"
One thousand taels...
The eyes of the two guys suddenly changed.
"Then, um... I think the Queen Mother must have despised us both."
"That's right, we are also getting old and losing our lust. There must be a new younger brother who has come into the Queen Mother's eyes again. In this case, we are not jealous people. Let's make room for the new guy here."
After saying that, he hugged Mu Qingchao's thigh and shed tears.
"Queen Mother, you must take care of yourself when we leave..."
"When the newcomer is around, don't forget me..."
After saying the scene, as if he was afraid that Mu Qingchao would regret it, he left her and ran away.
Later, Chun Ya said that the two people had tidied up everything in the side hall where they lived, not even a single needle was left behind, such as antique calligraphy and paintings, teapot decorations, etc.
Mu Qingchao shook his head helplessly.
Compared to these two people, Lu Li seemed very affectionate and kind.
When Lu Li saw the 30,000 taels of silver notes that Mu Qingchao handed over, he was startled. He raised his head to look at her.
"Queen Mother, what are you..." he asked.
"Do you still remember what the Aijia promised to you when we first met? You help the Aijia do things, and after the work is completed, there will be another reward."
After hearing this, Lu Li understood.
Is the Queen Mother going to... send him away?
"But the three-year period promised at the beginning has not yet arrived."
"In the past two years, you have done everything you should do, and now it is time to let you go free," Mu Qing said.
"The Aijia knows that you are not a mortal, and you have your own revenge. Why should the Aijia detain you for one more year? From now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let you fly."
She knew that he was an excellent man, a great general who would go down in history, and he should not be stuck with her alone.
Now that the world is uncertain, it still needs outstanding people to stabilize it.
Mu Qingchao thought that there were still eight years left. Eight years later, when the Northern Qi invaded the Southern Ming, she still had enough time to prepare.
And if the enemy general Lu Li is killed by then, he may still be prepared to survive.
"Lu Li, you are free."
He is free...
Lu Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
In the past, he wanted freedom so much, thinking that with his martial arts skills, how could he not make a difference in this vast world?
But now that Mu Qingchao lets him go, why doesn't he want to let him go?
"Queen Mother..." Lu Li called him.
"Please keep me here for another year. I won't worry about it, just in case..."
"What's the last chance?" Mu Qingchao interrupted him.
"Now that the Zhong family and Princess Zhenguo's Mansion have fallen, the Ai family is no longer threatened and in danger."
Is it……
Lu Li felt heavy in his heart when he heard this.
It's the Queen Mother, she doesn't need him anymore.
"Okay." He agreed: "In that case, I will retreat. Queen Mother, please take care of yourself."
When he said this, he suddenly smiled: "But yes, the general who comes to have private meetings with the Queen Mother every night is very skilled in martial arts. With him, he will definitely be able to protect the Queen Mother's safety. It is indeed my subordinates who are worrying too much."
Damn it...
Mu Qingchao's heart skipped a beat.
Every time Jiang Bo came to Chaoyundian to look for her, she completely forgot about Lu Li.
But it turned out that Lu Li had already watched the scene where they met?
When she thought of this, her face suddenly turned red.
She could no longer look at him. She blocked herself in front of her with one hand and waved her other hand: "Let's go, let's go, you..."
Look, sending Lu Li away was indeed a wise decision...
**
On the other side of Fulin Palace, Shen Muchi was absent-minded today.
Looking at the folder in front of me that Beiqi had repeatedly harassed at the border, I felt upset for a while, so I simply closed the folder with a "pop" and stopped reading.
Xu Meiren stood aside and polished ink for Shen Muchi. Naturally, she could see that the emperor was in a bad mood, so she just concentrated on her own business with her head lowered.
Of course, Shen Mu was troubled by Mu Qingchao's affairs.
He couldn't understand Mu Qingchao's thoughts more and more.
She was clearly in love with him, but why did she stop him from piercing the window paper that time last night?
Doesn't she have any feelings for him?
No, it's impossible.
This idea was immediately rejected by him as soon as it came up.
On the day he sent her to the palace, she expressed her love for him personally. Without affection, how could she risk herself for him again and again?
He had already doubted her once, but he couldn't doubt her a second time.
At this time, Eunuch Lu came in from outside.
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Lu knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Chaoyun Palace that the Queen Mother sent those two men away."
"Is it……"
When Shen Muchi heard the news, the gloom on Shen Muchi's face immediately dissipated a lot.
"Lu Xi, tell me, what on earth is she thinking?" Shen Muchi asked Eunuch Lu.
He was asking about what happened last night, but Beauty Xu listened intently, thinking that he was talking about that incident.
Xu Meiren naturally also heard about the incident where the Queen Mother was forced to have two heads stuffed in her face by Concubine Rong.
She listened to Lu Gong's fair words: "Your Majesty, this slave is just a eunuch. If you ask this slave, how can I understand this?
But slaves have all heard people say that women have deep minds. They say that the more a woman is trapped in feelings, the more elusive her thoughts are and the more they come over and over again.
Hey, what woman doesn't have a little temper?
As a man, you should naturally be more tolerant and accommodating..."
Eunuch Lu naturally followed Shen Muchi's wishes and wanted to make him happy.
However, Xu Meiren felt that she was not on point at all.
Thinking about Mu Qingchao's kindness to her, today is probably the time to repay her.
Xu Meiren no longer cared about her identity, knelt on the ground and called out tremblingly: "Your Majesty..."
"I know that some words are punishable by death, but I have to say it. I think that those two faces were given to the Queen Mother by Concubine Rong.
And why did the Queen Mother rush to dismiss the Princess Zhenguo as soon as she fell?
It can be seen that it was the imperial concubine's pressure that forced the Queen Mother to accept the interview.
The Queen Mother’s temperament is revealed outside…”
Xu Meiren couldn't say the word "fornication" at this point. She paused and said, "I think this is a misunderstanding of the Queen Mother by outsiders."
After she said this, she felt uneasy.
I said this boldly with the thought of being punished by Shen Muchi.
But he didn't expect it to directly touch Shen Muchi's heart.
He was worried that he couldn't find a reason to excuse Mu Qingchao, but now he heard this and slapped his leg with a "pop": "Yes, yes..."
"My concubine Bingxue is still smart. Things that I have never thought about, but my concubine can figure it out with just a little bit."
Thinking about it carefully, he was too confused before and even forgot about her situation.
He felt happy and regretful at the same time. He just wished he could see Mu Qingchao right away.
He took out the bracelet that had been kept in the desk compartment.
He hurriedly said to Mr. Lu: "Quick, quick, let's drive towards the Cloud Palace."
