She is indeed Si Lili's good friend, but she is also the emperor of Northern Qi!
Lang Tao is not only a ninth-rank master, but also the eldest disciple of Ku He, the national teacher of Northern Qi.
No matter how you look at it,
This was a deal that neither the Northern Qi nor any other state could refuse.
Li Chengqian smiled, not surprised at all.
When he left the wolf peaches earlier
It's not just about wanting to use him to get Si Lili back.
They were even thinking of using this matter to gain more benefits from the Northern Qi.
However, at this moment,
These thoughts had long since vanished as his power rapidly increased.
In fact, if he had the power he has now back then...
None of those who participated in the ambush and killing of him on Niulan Street will survive.
"Then it's settled."
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived outside the palace.
A horse-drawn carriage was parked not far away.
The curtains were drawn back, revealing a beautiful, elegant face.
Li Chengqian smiled slightly, thinking that they had probably come to interrogate him.
"Miss Duoduo, let's stop here."
"However, I hope to see that Miss Duoduo will be dressed up nicely next time we meet."
The beauty of the crabapple blossoms is not considered top-tier.
However, she has a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament.
Her eyes and lips, in particular, added a lot to her appeal.
If you really dress up properly, you'll definitely catch people's eye.
After that, he waved his hand.
After bidding farewell to the crabapple blossoms, I boarded the carriage not far away.
Haitang Duoduo watched the carriage drive away with a calm expression, lost in thought.
Inside the carriage, Li Chengqian looked at Li Yunrui sitting opposite him.
Seeing her slightly aloof appearance, his heart stirred slightly.
"Are you angry?"
Li Yunrui smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness's disguise skills are superb. You have the abilities of a Grandmaster, which you keep secret even from me, your bedmate. I'm overjoyed, so why would I be angry?"
That ability to be sarcastic and unpredictable is quite impressive.
Li Chengqian chuckled softly, then leaned closer.
He pulled her into his arms.
"At that time, I was not yet fully established, so it was naturally inappropriate for me to be too high-profile. Did you know that His Majesty was also a Grandmaster?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui was startled.
He didn't even care about the large, mischievous hand on his body anymore.
"What? You mean His Majesty is also a Grandmaster?"
"Otherwise what? Do you think someone like me, a Grandmaster, needs to worry about in the Qing Kingdom?"
Li Yunrui fell silent immediately.
Everyone says she wields power and manipulates influence.
But who knows how much effort she put in back then to assist Emperor Qing and stabilize the Qing Kingdom?
But Emperor Qing was different.
If you say you're going to kick her away, then kick her away.
In the blink of an eye, they found her a son-in-law, saying he would take over the inner treasury.
Later, unwilling to accept it,
He approached the Crown Prince, and ended up getting himself involved as well.
In the end, the father and son both hid themselves very well.
The Crown Prince is one thing,
She and Emperor Qing practically grew up together.
Over the years, no one had realized that Emperor Qing possessed such terrifying strength as a Grandmaster.
Seeing that Li Yunrui was in a daze, Li Chengqian unleashed another powerful attack.
"Actually, Ye Liuyun was always Emperor Qing's man."
"If you understood the terror of a Grandmaster, you would know that with your abilities, you couldn't control one."
Li Yunrui was shocked.
However, she did not refute it. Instead, she remained silent for a long time before whispering, "I see."
She then suddenly realized...
It turns out that everything she thought she controlled...
They were all obtained right under Emperor Qing's nose.
She was just a pawn from beginning to end!
For a moment, she felt utterly ridiculous.
At the same time, an extremely intense hatred suddenly surged up.
At this moment, Li Chengqian whispered, "I can give you everything you want, but all I want is you."
It sounded like a devil's whisper in Li Yunrui's ear.
A ripple appeared in her eyes.
She glanced seductively at the man beside her, then slowly bent down.
Since the alliance between the Northern Qi, the Eastern Yi, and the Southern Qing has already been signed,
What followed was simply the exchange of prisoners.
Nanqing exchanged Xiao En and Lang Tao for Yan Bingyun and Si Lili.
Actually, regarding the exchange of managers
Many people still harbored grievances in private.
Although Si Lili has quite a reputation in Kyoto,
But ultimately, he was a spy from Northern Qi.
Lang Tao, being a disciple of Ku He and a ninth-rank expert, would be far superior to Si Lili.
It's truly a waste of talent and a squandering of potential!
If it's truly about maximizing profits, a single wolf peach could potentially bring in a considerable amount of money!
Of course, this is just something a few people say in private.
In the imperial court, no one dared to speak out of turn.
To know,
The incident of the Crown Prince's blood being spilled in the Taiji Hall is still vivid in my mind.
Moreover, the fact that Li Chengqian is now a Grandmaster has gradually spread.
There is also the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, where Wang Yangming, the tutor of the Crown Prince, has become famous throughout the land.
This attracted countless scholars to join the movement.
This is an invisible yet awe-inspiring and magnificent trend.
Even Emperor Qing was unusually low-key, and figures like Chen Pingping and Lin Ruofu remained silent.
Who in the Qing Kingdom's court would be so foolish as to invite trouble?
However, since the exchange has already been agreed upon...
Next, we need to decide on the envoy to Northern Qi!
Therefore, Li Chengqian rarely attended court and volunteered to be an envoy to the Northern Qi.
In the history of the Qing Kingdom,
There are almost no records of the crown prince being sent on diplomatic missions to other countries.
As prime minister, Lin Ruofu expressed limited concern.
After all, Li Chengqian was the crown prince.
If any risks arise while on a mission to an enemy country...
This will inevitably shake the foundations of the nation and may even reignite a war between nations.
But after Li Chengqian insisted on going,
Lin Ruofu didn't say anything.
After all, a grandmaster
Even if the Northern Qi truly intended to harm him, it would be difficult for even version 1.0 to succeed.
After that, no one in the entire court objected anymore.
And Emperor Qing would certainly not refuse.
