Han Tong called out to Cui Li.
"Madam, I'll let my sister carry you." Han Tong said, and then called out to the back, "Zhao'er, quickly carry Madam and leave."
Before Han Tong finished speaking, a tall man in black who was standing behind him came forward, squatted down, and said with a smile, "Madam, the mountain road is rugged. It will be safer for Han Zhao to carry you. Zhao'er is strong and agile. He can easily carry two or three hundred kilograms of things on his back. You can rest assured with me here."
Cui Li smiled and thanked her, and let this confident and powerfully spoken girl carry her along the mountain road.
About an hour later, they had crossed the mountain and Han Tong's men returned.
Cui Li was a little surprised when she learned from Han Tong that Liang Sheng left with Yuan Qiuli's body.
Yuan Qiuli and Qi Xingsheng were dead? Didn't they escape? Who killed them?
They came here with the ambition of overthrowing the Liang regime, but this forest became their burial place.
For Wu Meng, the Prince of Qi and Cui Li were probably the targets he was going to get rid of.
In order to survive, Qi Xingsheng had to let Yuan Qiuli pretend to be Cui Li. After all, she was just an ordinary woman, and Wu Meng would never let Qi Xingsheng go because of her.
Cui Li thought that Qi Xingsheng might be hoping that Wu Meng would spare her life to threaten Emperor Liang, so he asked Yuan Qiuli to pretend to be the Imperial Concubine. Unfortunately, Wu Meng could not tolerate her or Qi Xingsheng.
Yuan Qiuli was used as a shield by Qi Xingsheng, and Qi Xingsheng died at the hands of Ji State's spies, who in turn died at the hands of Emperor Liang. The killing tonight was a bit heavy.
"Madam, all the Qi and Ji people down there are dead. Only Wu Meng is left alive. He has been captured by the Black Armor Guards. His Majesty seems to think that the dead woman is you. It seems that he wants to take Yuan Qiuli back to the palace for burial."
"Your Majesty, do you not know the existence of 'Yuan Qiuli'?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that Yuan Qiuli was arranged by the new Emperor of Qi and Qi Xingsheng. They wanted Yuan Qiuli to replace you, and they silenced everyone who had seen her. My Lord only learned of their plot by chance, and arranged for us to stay here and wait for an opportunity to rescue you. Unexpectedly, you were so resourceful that you instigated the rebellion of Shuka and escaped danger early."
Cui Li lay on Han Zhao without saying a word.
Yuan Qiuli had already prepared to disguise herself as her, and carried her pendant and jade pendant with her. It was dark and she was poisoned. Liang Sheng didn't know that there was someone who looked so similar to her, so it was normal for him to make a mistake.
Now that Imperial Noble Consort Cui is dead, it seems natural for her to remain anonymous and stay away from the palace, which is a place of gossip.
However, if the news of her death were to reach the capital, I'm afraid Cui's father, Cui's mother, and Queen Dowager Cui would be sad.
Moreover, when she thought of Emperor Liang Sheng, she felt complicated. She could not deny that Liang Sheng had been very nice to her these days, and her Chengqian Palace was definitely the best palace in the Liang Palace.
However, as an emperor, he is not cruel enough and still has a compassionate heart. This may be his shortcoming, but it can also be considered his advantage. After all, an emperor should be tolerant.
Although she had already made up her mind to escape, and her planned way of leaving was to "die in childbirth", she was now "dead" in the eyes of everyone, and she would probably never appear in front of people as "Cui Li" again.
Han Tong heard her sigh and said, "Madam, things have come to this. His Majesty and the others believe you are dead and will no longer send anyone to look for you. It's a good opportunity for you to stay away from the palace. The Lord will also find a chance to remove the ribbon. He has always had you in his heart, but he just hasn't said it out loud."
After hearing Han Tong's words, Cui Li smiled faintly and said, "Anian is in his prime. If he wants to leave, I'm afraid His Majesty won't agree."
Han Tong said, "My lord, if you want to leave, Emperor Liang can't stop you."
Seeing Han Tong's confidence, Cui Li smiled and said, "In fact, Liang State needs him more than me. The Three Kingdoms are in constant conflict. If Ah Nian continues to stay in the court, with wise rulers and virtuous ministers, Liang State's future will not be in jeopardy and will not end. It may even lead to unification."
Han Zhao muttered softly, "My lord is not from Liang, nor is he the emperor of Liang. How much does the survival of Liang have to do with my lord?"
Cui Li has very good hearing. After hearing what Han Zhao said, his eyes flashed. Isn’t Xuan Yunian from Liang?
