Chapter 47 The Empress
After the woman went to report to Queen Qi, Li Cunxu and Shen Qingyi were arranged in a quiet and elegant room where no one would be disturbed.

The room is well-equipped with paintings and calligraphy, and is elegantly decorated. I really can't believe that there is such a place in the brothel.

The old bustard delivered tea, wine and snacks in person, with a respectful attitude and no flattering tone before.

After all, she already knew Li Cunxu's true strength from the woman in blue, and the strong should be respected.

Shen Qingyi was already thirsty, so he picked up the flagon and drank.

Li Cunxu didn't drink, didn't drink tea, and didn't eat any snacks.

He felt a little suspense in his heart, wondering if he could see the empress.

If you can't reach a consensus with the empress, I'm afraid that the group of brothers Li Cunxu himself defends can only become bandits.

In fact, he could go back to Taiyuan and ask Li Siyuan for help, but Li Siyuan is ambitious, he might have some bad idea in his heart, seeking skin from a tiger is the most dangerous.

He could also directly kill Luzhou, but if he did so, his full strength would be exposed to bad people and handsome men, and the loss outweighed the gain.

What Bad Shuai has always pursued is man-made domineering, that is, man can conquer nature.In order to overthrow the Dao of Heaven that the Tang Dynasty must perish, he is bound to rule out all accidents.As for Li Cunxu, it was an accident.

Shen Qingyi looked at Li Cunxu's thoughtful look, shook his head slightly, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Li Cunxu, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this tea is not bad, you should have a sip of tea first."

"Yeah." Li Cunxu nodded casually, but didn't drink tea.

"Qing Yi, do you regret it?" Li Cunxu asked suddenly.

Shen Qingyi was a little puzzled, and asked, "Regret? Why do you regret it?"

Li Cunxu looked at him and said: "I promised to give you a foundry bureau, but unfortunately the situation has turned critical now, and even Luzhou is gone."

Shen Qingyi sneered when he heard the words, and then said solemnly: "Although the world says: Longyou is beaten by shrimps in shallow water, tigers are bullied by dogs in Pingyang, successful cats are worse than tigers, and phoenixes are not as good as chickens.

But I ignored the last few sentences: One day the dragon will get the water, and the Yangtze River will flow back.One day when the tiger returns to the mountain, half the sky will be stained with blood.

Your Highness is only losing power for a while now, and our Guard Division has not suffered much loss. Your Highness's ambition is not small, and he will definitely make a comeback in the future. "

Li Cunxu smiled, obviously Shen Qingyi was wrong, he was not discouraged.

Glancing at Shen Qingyi, Li Cunxu replied: "A herd of sheep led by a lion can defeat a herd of lions led by a sheep. Qingyi, you don't need to comfort me, that sheep can only be proud for a while, but cannot command Jingxin Demon's subordinates." Those lions will eventually be killed by lions. But I am still a lion."

Li Cunxu's words revealed his state of mind, which made Shen Qingyi feel at ease.

The two waited for a while, and Shen Qingyi suddenly said: "Your Highness, that woman didn't lie to you, did she? Why did you go for so long... Or let's go, the atmosphere here is weird."

Hearing these words, Li Cunxu couldn't help but glance at Shen Qingyi, and seeing his uneasy look, he knew that he must not be used to the atmosphere of the brothel.

Brothels are generally full of silk and bamboo orchestras, beautiful women singing long songs, singing and dancing.And Shen Qingyi lived in Zhujiange in Tianshan Mountain since he was a child, his life was ordinary, and he was not a lustful person, so he was naturally incompatible with brothels.

"What's the matter? This is already a private room, and there are no other worldly girls from fireworks to disturb you. What's wrong with you?"

Shen Qingyi shook his head, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just... I don't like the atmosphere here."

"Wait a little longer." Li Cunxu patted him on the shoulder, this time it was good, he became himself to comfort him.

So the two continued to wait for news from the woman in blue.

The wait was the longest, and after an unknown amount of time, the woman finally appeared in front of him again, still carrying the guqin that never left her body.

"King Qi wants to see you, come with me."

"Yes." Li Cunxu felt a little joy in his heart, as long as we can meet each other, everything is possible.

Just when the woman in blue was about to take Li Cunxu to meet King Qi, she turned her head and found that besides Li Cunxu, Shen Qingyi also followed.

"King Qi only summoned this young master, not this young master." The woman said flatly.

Shen Qingyi frowned, thinking that there must be a dragon's pool and a tiger's den at King Qi's place, if he followed up by himself, His Highness would still have a few helpers.So he said to the woman: "I am responsible for protecting His Highness, and wherever His Highness goes, I will naturally follow."

Li Cunxu smiled slightly, even if King Qi's mansion was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, Shen Qingyi's following would not be of much use, but would drag him down instead.

The empress is in the heavenly position, she is in the middle heavenly position, and Shen Qingyi is in the astral position.If the empress wanted to do something, it would be easy for her to escape alone, but if there were too many people, she would have more scruples, and it might not be easy to escape.

"Qing Yi, since King Qi only summoned me to show his sincerity, you don't want to follow me." Li Cunxu thought for a while, and then said: "You can meet Tiedan and the others first."

"As ordered!"

After Shen Qingyi left, Li Cunxu followed the woman in blue through the streets and alleys, turning left and right.

"This girl, I'm really sorry for the rude behavior just now, I'll make an apology here first."

Li Cunxu was talking about the incident where he threatened the woman with the Yitian sword around her neck.

The woman didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but said lightly: "Don't dare, the young master is the guest of King Qi, and the little girl dare not complain."

Hearing these indifferent words, Li Cunxu did not speak again.He had already offended her, and if he continued, he would just put a hot face on a cold ass.

The two remained silent, and finally came to a magnificent building - King Qi's Mansion.

The defense of King Qi's mansion this time is obviously more stringent than before.I don't know if it's an illusion, but he felt that even the overall atmosphere of Prince Qi's Mansion had become a bit more mellow, presumably the Empress had already returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.

Led by the woman, Li Cunxu walked into King Qi's mansion along the brick road.

The two of them walked through corridors, several arches, and a smooth paved road. After a long detour, they finally came to a courtyard.

Under Li Cunxu's surprised eyes.The woman backed away silently.

King Qi only said that he would meet Li Cunxu alone, so she is not allowed to stay here, even if she is one of the nine heavenly saints of Huanyinfang.

As soon as Li Cunxu stepped into the yard, he smelled a fragrance. When he looked around, Li Cunxu couldn't help being surprised, and looked at the sea of ​​pink flowers all around him intently.

Flowers, surrounded by flowers, more peonies!

Only the peony is the real national color, as the national beauty and heavenly fragrance, the peony is the king of flowers, it must be extraordinary.It seems that the empress still likes this peony.

In the era before Li Cunxu's time travel, most people in the world criticized Zhou Dunyi because of a line in Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian Shuo", "Peony is the rich and noble flower."But Li Cunxu doesn't think so. In fact, Hua'er's character is also endowed by people. Why can't peony be a gentleman of flowers?
Passing through the shadows of flowers all over the sky, Li Cunxu turned his eyes to the stone table in the center.

The stone table was simple and elegant, with an exquisite teapot and several teacups on it, and a handsome man who didn't look like a man was sitting in front of the table.

He is dressed in brocade and jade clothes, gorgeous and exquisite, and wearing a long crown that symbolizes the status of King Qi, like a fairy from the nine heavens falling into the mortal world, making people feel the indescribable noble aura at a glance.

All in all, this "King Qi" is very similar to King Qi!
Li Cunxu couldn't help but glance at him across several flower trees.After all, in Li Cunxu's eyes, he is not King Qi, but King Qi's younger sister, the Empress.

Li Cunxu approached and finally saw the true face of the empress on Mount Lu.

Although the empress is wearing a man's attire that symbolizes the identity of the king of Qi, the clothes are simple and elegant, without any feminine attire, and even her appearance is deliberately masculine, but Li Cunxu feels that the empress's makeup is still very feminine.

She was sitting in front of the stone table with a straight posture, her shoulders were shaved, and her skin was as white as jade. She was born with a noble and dignified temperament that was difficult to describe in words, giving people a feeling that could only be seen from a distance but not desecrated.

She made tea on her own, as if she didn't see Li Cunxu, and Li Cunxu didn't make a sound, sitting silently opposite the empress.

She held a flower in her hand, and slowly picked off the petals one by one, and put them into the teapot, her movements were elegant and smooth, without any abruptness.

Her expression is still deserted, making people feel unapproachable. With the male makeup, she looks more like a handsome young man.However, Li Cunxu can taste another feeling from it, which is beautiful, handsome and glamorous.

However, although the Empress's expression was cold, her autumn-like eyes were very bright, as if nothing could escape her gaze.Li Cunxu has been observing her since just now, she must have discovered it.

Sure enough, the empress who was making tea suddenly raised her eyes to look at Li Cunxu, her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if to warn him not to aim randomly.
With a startled glance, looking at the empress's glance, Li Cunxu couldn't help but think of this word in his heart.
