The next morning, Li Lingyue woke up from bed. As soon as she sat up, she saw Liu Yaoji sitting in her room combing her hair.

Li Lingyue was startled and immediately thought that this was the woman who caught her under the eaves last night.

Liu Yaoji heard a noise on the bed, turned her plump waist, looked at Li Lingyue on the bed, and smiled jokingly.

"Little princess, you finally woke up!"

Li Lingyue looked a little panicked and asked repeatedly:

"Who are you? Where is Shi Qingfeng? Is he dead or alive?"

Liu Yaoji put down the comb and said with a playful smile:
"Don't worry, that boy won't die, but the little princess, you seem to care about him?"

Li Lingyue looked embarrassed and did not reply to her. Since Shi Qingfeng was not dead, she finally let go of her worries. She looked at Liu Yaoji and continued to ask:

"You haven't answered me yet! Who are you?"

"Oh, didn't the slave family say last night that we are good people? As for me, you can call me Liu Yaoji!"

Willow Demon Lady?This was the first time Li Lingyue heard this name.

"Did you save me last night?"

Li Lingyue saw that the other party was wearing night clothes, and he must have come specially for her.

"Of course!"

Liu Yaoji made a hunch, stood up and walked towards Li Lingyue's bed with graceful steps.

Li Lingyue shrank into the bed unconsciously. When Liu Yaoji saw this, she stopped and smiled charmingly:

"Don't be afraid. The day your mother returned to Chang'an, she withdrew the Peony Guards who secretly protected you. Now your safety is left to us!"

Li Lingyue was curious as to why her mother had changed a group of people since she had sent secret guards to protect her. From the beginning to the end, she thought that her only personal guard was Shi Qingfeng.

"Then who are you?" Li Lingyue asked again.

Liu Yaoji felt her head was a little heavy. Li Lingyue repeatedly asked about her identity, so she could only say ambiguously:
"The Nu family is a famous courtesan in Luoyang City, the most popular madam in Nuanxiang Pavilion!"

Li Lingyue said impatiently: "Don't beat around the bush, you know that's not what I asked!"

The smile on Liu Yaoji's lips dropped, and she felt a headache for the princess who kept asking questions:
"Little princess, if you want to know the identity of the slave family, you have to ask your Aye and Aniang!"

Seeing that the other party refused to say anything, Li Lingyue pondered for a moment, changed the topic, and said to Liu Yaoji in a deep voice:

"The massacres that occurred in various Taoist temples in Luoyang ten days ago were probably your fault!"

Liu Yaoji frowned, then smiled again and reminded softly:
"Little princess, you can't talk nonsense. We are only responsible for protecting your safety. We don't care about other things!"

Li Lingyue got down from the bed, walked to Liu Yaoji, and said to herself:

"Are you talking nonsense? You know in your heart that my mother-in-law has always doted on me, but the day I was humiliated by the Taoist temple, she left quietly. This is not like her usual style. Sure enough, a tragedy occurred at the Taiping Temple that night. , the members of the Tiandao Sect were killed, but I was unscathed. The government arrived belatedly. If they said they were just killing people, it would be fine, but they had to demolish the Taoist temple. On the surface, they seemed to be preventing me, a princess, from becoming a monk. In fact, it was You are humiliating Tiandaomen and venting your anger on my daughter!"

After a pause, Li Lingyue continued: "Of course, these are just my guesses, but just now you said that my mother-in-law had withdrawn the secret guards, and I became even more curious. If my mother-in-law only wanted to protect my safety, why bother to replace you with yours? , even if you are replaced, there is no need to withdraw the secret guards. Her purpose of doing this is probably to wash away the suspicion of the harem after the murder. Even if Tiandao Sect pursues it, it will only find you and Peony Guard. It has nothing to do with it! And you are just a chess piece in my mother’s hands that can be used!"

After Li Lingyue finished speaking, Liu Yaoji's smile was a little stiff, but she still pretended not to know and said teasingly:
"Little princess, you are really good at daydreaming. How can a daughter suspect that her mother is the murderer?"

Li Lingyue put her hands behind her back and corrected her slyly: "I didn't say that my mother-in-law was the murderer. After all, it was you who killed people with knives, and it was you who demolished the Taoist temple. This has nothing to do with my mother-in-law. When Shi Qingfeng wakes up, I will Tell him about this, well, I want to see who is more powerful between you and the Tiandao Sect!"

Liu Yaoji's face changed slightly. She really didn't expect that Li Lingyue would turn her back faster than turning the page in a book, even her savior was cheated. She was a little angry in her heart, but she still pretended to be indifferent and said with a gun and a stick: "Haha, So what if those bullies find out? Even if we did it, aren't you worried that we will confess your mother-in-law?"

It seems that it was really you who did it.

Li Lingyue had already found the answer from Liu Yaoji's words. She calmed down, sighed, and said in a pitiful tone:
"Hey, you still don't understand my mother-in-law well enough. Since she dares to use you, do you think she will still be afraid of you betraying her? Maybe in order to prove her innocence, we might as well deal with you together with the Tiandao Sect!" "

Liu Yaoji looked at Li Lingyue suspiciously and asked in confusion:
"Little princess, I really don't understand. You have repeatedly sown the relationship between the queen and us. What good does this do to you? Aren't we in the same boat?"

Li Lingyue snorted disdainfully: "Who is in the same boat with you? You are just chess pieces. If my mother is happy, she may let you stay on the chessboard. If she is not happy, then you are just dispensable pieces. !”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yaoji was immediately angered. When she thought about Tiansha's current predicament, she was indeed like an abandoned son, dispensable.

Before Li Lingyue could continue speaking, Liu Yaoji suddenly grabbed her throat and forcibly lifted her up.

Li Lingyue suddenly felt difficulty breathing. He grabbed Liu Yaoji's wrist with both hands. No matter how hard she tried, it was in vain. He only heard Liu Yaoji coldly threaten:

"Little princess, listen carefully, no one can treat us as abandoned children, not even the queen!"

After saying that, Li Lingyue let go of his hand and sat down on the ground. It took him a long time to catch his breath.

She slowly stood up from the ground, while rubbing her throat, she said to Liu Yaoji:
"Since you don't want to be an outcast, I have a way to make you no longer have any worries!"

"What method?" Liu Yaoji asked directly without thinking.

Li Lingyue took a deep breath and said calmly: "It's very simple, it can be used by me!"

'For your use? Liu Yaoji was stunned, obviously not understanding what it meant.

Li Lingyue put her hands behind her back, walked to the window, and continued:
"This princess is deeply loved by my father, the emperor, and my queen. She will be prosperous, wealthy, and worry-free in this life. If you can become my personal guard, I will ensure that you will not be involved in court struggles for the rest of your life, and you will also avoid becoming my mother and queen. A tool for political gaming!”

When she learned that these people were responsible for the Tiandaomen massacre, Li Lingyue started to recruit them. She thought simply, since these people could serve her mother-in-law, why not directly recruit them to serve as her own? subordinates.

After experiencing many assassinations and seeing the terrifying power of Prince Yu's Mansion, Li Lingyue increasingly felt that her own strength was weak. She urgently needed to cultivate a force of her own so that she could protect herself and the safety of those around her.

However, Liu Yaoji's reaction was "Pfft", and she was immediately amused. She put her hands on her waist and laughed:

"Little princess, you have gone around in such a big circle because you want us to join your service. Please tell me frankly that this method of yours is completely useless!"

Li Lingyue asked in confusion: "Oh? Isn't it good to serve as a guard for this princess and stay away from the disputes in the court?"

Liu Yaoji covered her mouth and smiled: "It seems that the princess really doesn't understand us, so I'll just tell you, listen carefully, our identities are damned!"

Damn it! !Li Lingyue was shocked. Ever since she knew the existence of the 'Tiance Seal', she had looked up the disappeared 'Tiance Mansion' and learned that the composition of the Tiance Mansion was divided into three forces: Tianmou, Tiandao, and Tiansha. Unexpectedly, the Lady Liu in front of her came from Heavenly Death!

While Li Lingyue was shocked, Liu Yaoji said a little arrogantly:
"Although most of the members of Tiansha come from people in the world, we are never afraid of getting involved in court struggles. On the contrary, we are eager to fight and are keen on killing. If, as the princess said, we can live a peaceful life as a royal guard, then this For God, that is the greatest torture and the most boring life!"

Li Lingyue was completely shocked by these words. The people she wanted to win over were actually a group of perverts who liked to seek excitement.

However, an organization like this that was fearless aroused her desire to conquer, so she asked without giving up:

"So, you are willing to be pawns in my grandma's hands?"

Liu Yaoji smiled contemptuously: "Little princess, you are wrong. God only works for the emperor. He is only loyal to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty throughout his life. He has never been a pawn in the hands of the queen!"

Hearing this, Li Lingyue hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Liu Yaoji, slowly approached her lips to her ear, and said softly:
"You said that God only works for the emperor. How did you know that a few decades later... my mother would not be the emperor? I... would not be the emperor?"

The smile on Liu Yaoji's face froze, and for a moment, she felt that her heart suddenly stopped! (End of chapter)
