Chapter 355 Go to Gratitude Temple to meet Queen Mother Jiang Nanfeng!
After Li Changsheng came out from Ying Yunhai, he went to Xie Chen again.
By the way, they also looted a lot of ginseng and elixirs.
After taking the ginseng, he felt that the rain had stopped, the sky had cleared up, and he was able to function again.
So, before leaving Luodu, he went to the Pixiang Palace and spent the whole night with Concubine Wang Xuan.
Coming out of the Pixiang Hall and passing by Gratitude Temple.
I remembered that Queen Mother Jiang Nanfeng was still inside.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided to go and take a look.
No matter what, the Queen Mother was good to him.
As a traitor, he played an indispensable role in the Empress Dowager's fate.
Any normal person would feel guilty about this.
With this in mind, Li Changsheng went to visit secretly again in the identity of Yan Qing.
At this time, Jiang Nanfeng had already taken off the empress dowager's gorgeous clothes.
She was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, which concealed her slender figure.
Under the smoky air, it really has a different charm.
It’s a bit like Wu Meiniang who got married and became a nun in Ganye Temple.
Just as Li Changsheng was staring blankly, Jiang Nanfeng also noticed someone coming, so she stopped beating the wooden fish and subconsciously looked back.
When she saw that the person coming was her former lover [Yan Qing], she was struck by lightning and stood there like a wooden chicken.
After a long while, she finally asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Yanqing, why are you here?"
Li Changsheng didn't know how to respond to this.
After a long silence, he finally said, "Queen Mother, I came to see you!"
Jiang Nanfeng is not a stupid woman. A stupid woman cannot survive in this palace full of intrigue and deception.
It is even more impossible to become the Queen Mother!
When she learned that Jin Jiuling was suddenly killed, Qingying led the shadow guards and easily controlled her, the queen mother.
I already knew in my heart that there was a traitor around me!
And the person who has the ability to do all this is undoubtedly her lover [Yan Qing].
Jiang Nanfeng thought that she would never have the chance to see Yan Qing again in this life.
I never expected that he would dare to come and see me.
At the beginning, when Jiang Nanfeng guessed that Yan Qing was a traitor, he felt a sense of betrayal and anger.
I wish I could cut this traitor into pieces and grind his bones into ashes on the spot.
But while meditating in Gratitude Temple, under the influence of the ancient Buddhas and the green lamps, she had long lost her former anger.
However, deep down in her heart, she still felt unwilling and confused.
"Yanqing, I have a question for you. How do I treat you?"
Li Changsheng said, "Very good, I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime!"
When Jiang Nanfeng saw Yan Qing, she admitted how good she was to him.
Her originally calm emotions suddenly became out of control again.
"Haha, what a way to repay someone for their kindness. I think you are just an ungrateful wolf who can never be tamed, a venomous snake that repays kindness with enmity!"
Facing Jiang Nanfeng's accusations, Li Changsheng did not refute.
No matter how you look at it, he was the one who was in the wrong in this matter.
There is nothing wrong with being scolded by the other party.
After Jiang Nanfeng cursed, she saw that Li Changsheng was still standing there like a piece of wood, not saying a word.
She was furious and her temper was boiling.
"Yanqing, aren't you usually very eloquent? Why are you silent now? Are you mute?"
Li Changsheng said, "Queen Mother, you are right to scold me, but I have no choice!"
"Jin Jiuliang wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to attack him..."
Jiang Nanfeng asked, "What about Duke Jiang? Does he want to kill you too?"
Li Changsheng nodded: "Yes, Jiang Kuanglong is worried that his scandal of pimping for the Queen Mother will be exposed and his reputation will be ruined."
"I've already made plans. Once I'm no longer useful, I'll be eliminated as soon as possible!"
"Moreover, Jiang Kuanglong's death was not due to my betrayal. He was stabbed in the back by Jiang Chonghu and Jiang Jian, father and son..."
After listening to Li Changsheng's explanation, Jiang Nanfeng fell into silence.
Li Changsheng saw this and continued, "Queen Mother, you may not know this yet, but Prince Zhao is also dead!"
Jiang Nanfeng suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Changsheng.
"What did you say? King Zhao won everything and died?"
Li Changsheng nodded: "Yes, King Zhao won all the money and died!"
Jiang Nanfeng asked, "How did he die?"
Li Changsheng simply organized his thoughts and recounted what had happened.
Of course, he concealed the fact that he continued to be a traitor to King Zhao.
I just want to emphasize the collusion between King Zhao and Yu Qiangwei...
Jiang Nanfeng was deeply saddened to learn that her old rival had also passed away.
She was silent for a long time, then she sighed with regret.
"Ah, this is all destined!"
Li Changsheng echoed, "The Queen Mother is absolutely right. There's a true Buddhist saying: If it's destined to happen, it will happen. If it's not destined to happen, don't force it!"
Jiang Nanfeng fell into silence again, carefully thinking over Li Changsheng's words.
"What is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced. Yanqing, is my presence with you destined to happen, or is it destined not to happen?"
Li Changsheng: "..."
For a moment, he really didn't know how to answer this question.
Jiang Nanfeng looked at the smoke from the burning incense in front of her and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Haha, the past is like smoke, scattered by the wind, just let it go!"
"Yanqing, thank you for remembering me and coming to see me. Now go!"
Li Changsheng nodded.
However, he did not leave immediately.
Instead, he strode forward and hugged Jiang Nanfeng from behind.
Jiang Nanfeng never expected that this [Yan Qing] would be so bold and dare to come forward and hug her here.
However, the sudden physical contact still caused her body to tremble violently.
"Yanqing, don't you see where this is? Don't you want to live anymore?"
Li Changsheng naturally would not be like Li Zhi who had a secret affair with Wu Meiniang in the temple.
He just hugged Jiang Nanfeng tightly.
"My Lady, please be patient for a while. I will definitely rescue you and set you free in the future!"
After hearing Li Changsheng's words, all the resentment that Jiang Nanfeng had previously accumulated towards him disappeared in an instant.
"Yanqing, I am very pleased that you have this intention. However, it is better not to act rashly. Our young emperor is much more powerful than he appears. You are definitely no match for him."
Li Changsheng said: "As long as I can rescue the queen, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will not hesitate to die!"
Jiang Nanfeng was once again overjoyed by her lover's words.
She was worried that her lover would really come to rescue her at all costs.
He also repeatedly reminded us to think twice before acting and not to act impulsively.
"Oh right, now that Prince Zhao is dead, wouldn't Xin'er be in danger if she married Prince Zhao?"
Li Changsheng said, "Your Majesty, Miss Xin'er and I are also friends. Even if it costs me my life, I will never let her fall into danger!"
Jiang Nanfeng felt relieved when she heard Li Changsheng's promise.
"Well, with your words, I am satisfied."
After saying that, she looked at Li Changsheng carefully again.
"Yanqing, you and Xin'er are of similar age, a talented man and a beautiful woman, you are a perfect match made in heaven. I hope you can take good care of Xin'er for the rest of your life!"
Li Changsheng nodded, indicating that he would definitely do it.
Not only will he take good care of Jiang Xiner.
And take good care of the Queen Mother.
……
When the sun set in the west, Li Changsheng got up and left.
He had just left when Jiang Jian happened to be patrolling here again.
When Jiang Jian saw someone trespassing into Gratitude Temple, he shouted.
"Stop, stay here!"
Li Changsheng knew it was Jiang Jian without even looking back.
He was too lazy to pay attention to this guy now, so he quickened his pace and left.
Jiang Jian saw this mysterious man acting sneakily, and after being discovered by him, his pace suddenly quickened. He felt that the other party's behavior was very suspicious.
So he took it for granted that this was the Queen Mother's accomplice.
Now is my chance to show my merit in front of Qingying!
Thinking of this, he suddenly drew his sword from its sheath.
"I told you to stop, did you hear me?"
"If you don't stop, I'll be rude to you!"
Li Changsheng ignored Jiang Jian's angry shout.
He made a few turns and easily got rid of Jiang Jian.
Thinking of what Bai Xue had said before, Li Changsheng planned to go and say goodbye to her before leaving.
By the way, let’s take a look to see if Qingying has come out of seclusion and whether the process of breakthrough and advancement is smooth?
……
Bai Xue was a little surprised to see Li Changsheng, who came out to meet her as Yan Qing.
"Li Changsheng, why did you become Yan Qing again?"
Li Changsheng would not tell Bai Xue that he had just gone to see Queen Mother Jiang Nanfeng in this identity.
He laughed and said casually, "Li Changsheng is still a dead man in public, he can't just come out and jump around!"
Bai Xue thought about it carefully and realized that this made sense, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Li Changsheng looked towards the place where Qingying was in seclusion and asked, "Bai Xue, when will Sister Qingying come out?"
Bai Xue shook her head gently: "I'm not quite sure. Why are you looking for the commander? Is there something urgent?"
Li Changsheng smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm just asking casually!"
Bai Xue bit her lip lightly, and said with a hint of jealousy, "Then you came here specifically to see the commander."
When Li Changsheng heard Bai Xue's words, he understood.
She is jealous again.
"Xiaoxue'er, are you jealous of Qingying?"
Bai Xue rolled her eyes beautifully and said, "Who am I, and who is Qingying? How dare I be jealous of her?"
When she talked about her grievances, she turned her little head away.
Moreover, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, full of melancholy.
It seemed as if as soon as she lowered her head, tears would flow out uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng immediately put his arms around Bai Xue's waist.
Because she was still jealous, Bai Xue struggled for a while with restraint.
Li Changsheng felt Bai Xue's struggle.
Not only did he not let go.
Instead, he hugged her tighter.
Seeing that Bai Xue had given up struggling, Li Changsheng moved closer to her ear and blew a breath of hot air towards her swan-like white neck.
"Bai Xue, no matter how big the difference in status between you and Qing Ying is in front of outsiders, in front of me, you two have the same status!"
Bai Xue's eyes flickered with curiosity as she asked, "What is your identity?"
Li Changsheng smiled mischievously: "They are all my, Li Changsheng's, women!"
Bai Xue: "..."
