Chapter 283: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (32)

Chapter 283 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Thirty-Two)

He led 5,000 vanguard troops to fight against the enemy, holding on for three days and three nights. In order to cover the remaining 800 people to break out, he was surrounded by the armies of Ji and Qi. In order to avoid being captured, he was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows.

Cui Li felt melancholy when she thought of General Ji Jiuyuan, who had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a tall and slender figure but not rough, and who would cheerfully call her "Miss Cui".

Ji Jiuyuan had secretly proposed marriage to Cui Li from the Cui family, but failed, so he went to the northwest to guard the frontier. A few years later, he rejected Liang Sheng's proposed marriage. There was a rumor that the person he loved had died, and he no longer had any intention of getting married.

As expected, at the age of thirty, he was still unmarried, stationed at the border all year round, and rarely returned to Liangdu.

At the age of thirty-five, he died on the battlefield and was buried in the northwest.

The victor becomes the king and the loser becomes the bandit. Cui Li and Queen Ji both became losers in the palace fight. Ji Mingyue was labeled as a spy of the Ji State, tortured in the dark prison, and finally committed suicide by hitting his head against the wall.

Ji Wei's son came to the throne. The new emperor followed the instructions of Queen Mother Ji to eliminate dissidents and reorganize the court. For a time, blood flowed like a river, and the newly unified world showed signs of instability.

The Cui family took the initiative to stay away from officialdom, and their direct descendants returned to their ancestral home to avoid being liquidated by the new emperor, preserving the thousands of volumes of bamboo slips and wealth accumulated over generations that rivaled a country.

The Ji family had many dead and injured, leaving only a twelve-year-old illegitimate son. He wanted to subdue the Ji family army, but was suppressed by the new emperor. In the end, he had no choice but to give up his military career and go into business, barely surviving.

In this life, Cui Li did not want Ji Jiuyuan to die on the battlefield, nor did she want Geng Feiluan to gain Liang Sheng's trust step by step and even give him the position of commander of the Imperial Guard.

Cui Li: "If Emperor Liang has any doubts about Geng Feiluan, then Geng Feiluan will never be able to lead the Imperial Guards in this lifetime."

System Qiqi: "But what Concubine Xu said is unfounded. What if Liang Sheng doesn't take it to heart? If he doesn't investigate, how would he know that Geng Feiluan is concerned about Ji Wei and that the two of them are having a secret meeting in the palace? Or what if Geng Feiluan noticed it beforehand and found a scapegoat?"

Cui Li: "Then you can add some more content to the letter, saying that the jade pendant on the man's waist seems to have a phoenix pattern."

Many nobles wore jade on their waists, but not many of the Imperial Guards wore jade on their waists, let alone jade with phoenix patterns. Liang Sheng must have first thought of the Hetian white jade phoenix pendant worn on Geng Feiluan's waist. In addition, it is very likely that Geng Feiluan personally brought the princess of Ji State into the palace and had contact with Ji Wei in the middle.

System Qiqi: "Wow, host, you're going to cause trouble! Hehe, the letter has been revised! I look forward to Emperor Liang's reaction after reading it."

Seeing that it was almost time, Cuiyun advised Cui Li to go into the house and rest. His injury had not healed yet, so he should be careful not to catch a cold from the wind. She naturally agreed and got up to go back into the hall.

In the evening, the letter written by Xu Yada appeared in front of Liang Sheng's desk.

He glanced at the wax on the envelope. It had not been opened yet, so Li'er had never seen it.

Liang Sheng: "This Cuiyun is quite sensible. She knows not to worry Li'er about these things."

After reading the letter, Liang Sheng knocked three times lightly. A man came out from the dark and knelt on the ground waiting for the emperor's order.

Liang Sheng: "Keep an eye on Ji Zhaoyi, Geng Feiluan, and the movements of the Imperial Guards."

"Yes, I will obey your majesty's orders."

Liang Sheng: "Go and transfer the maid named Qin'er from Lengxiu Pavilion to Concubine De's palace."

Xichang put down the tea bowl that had just been brought in and responded respectfully.

Qin'er is very lucky. Concubine De worships Buddha all year round, so her place is very peaceful and there are few disputes.

At night, Liang Sheng gently stroked Cui Li's abdomen and lowered his head to listen carefully.

Cui Li: "Brother Sheng, what are you doing?"

Liang Sheng: "I'm listening to the emperor's movements. Why isn't he moving? He's so quiet."

Cui Li was both amused and confused. It was too strange that a one-month-old fetus was moving.
