Cui Li blinked in confusion, "Husband, who is she? What does this sister mean? Am I not your wife? What's wrong with a wife acting coquettishly to her husband?"
Qi Xingsheng couldn't bear to see the beauty being wronged, so he quickly said, "Of course."
When the woman heard Cui Li call her "sister," she looked at her bright eyes and graceful figure, then saw Qi Xingsheng leaning towards Cui Li and said angrily, "Who is your sister? You are a royal concubine of an enemy country. It's not enough for you to have the emperor's favor. Now you come to compete with me for the prince. How shameless are you!"
Cui Li looked at the masked woman. Could she be Madam Qiu Li? She was pregnant. Was she about to give birth?
Could it be that she is pregnant with Qi Xingsheng's child, and now that he sees her acting with Qi Xingsheng, he's jealous?
Cui Li covered her head and said in distress: "Husband, is she your new concubine? Did she make a mistake? What is the Imperial Noble Consort? I really don't understand what she said. Husband, Li'er has a headache..."
"Who is a concubine? I am the monarch of the Great Qi State..."
Seeing Yuan Qiuli's reckless words, Qi Xingsheng immediately shouted angrily, "Yuan Qiuli, shut up! This prince has nothing to do with you. Li'er is my prince's consort. What's the point of saying Imperial Consort? I think you've lost your mind."
The woman looked deeply shocked and looked at Qi Xingsheng with resentment, "Prince, how can you say that? Li'er came to this remote place just for you..."
"That's enough! I've been generous enough not to pursue your little private actions. If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless. Your mission is to take good care of the baby. If you make a mistake and delay important matters, your majesty and I will not forgive you."
Qi Xingsheng's face darkened, and there was warning and displeasure in his eyes as he looked at Yuan Qiuli.
Yuan Qiuli glared at Cui Li fiercely and left the front hall first.
Qi Xingsheng kept Cui Li and hypnotized her again, hoping that Cui Li would forget what had just happened.
There were no maids or guards nearby. It was obvious that Qi Xingsheng had instructed the servants not to come near when he entered the hall.
A quarter of an hour later, Cui Li's eyes became somewhat distracted, and he said softly:
"Husband, Li'er will go back to the room first, so as not to disturb you from doing your business."
"Okay, Madam, take care." Qi Xingsheng called a few maids in.
Cui Li was sent away by the maids again. When she was leaving, she looked back and saw Qi Xingsheng hurriedly walking in the direction where Yuan Qiuli left, apparently to meet Yuan Qiuli.
After returning to the room and sending his attendants away, Cui Li began to think about the reverse hypnosis he had just used on Qi Xingsheng.
Qi Xingsheng was a very cautious person, and being well versed in this kind of incantation, he kept his true secret deep in his heart and would not easily reveal it. Hypnosis cannot alert the enemy. She had only touched upon the subject during her last hypnosis, and knew very little about Yuan Qiuli's affairs.
This time I know more.
After I found out, I found it even more ridiculous.
These people are making their plans come true.
Everyone in the world knows that the Liang Emperor's favorite woman is Imperial Noble Consort Cui Li, and she is also his weak spot. Therefore, those who have bad intentions towards Liang are ready to start with her.
Through a portrait, the new Emperor Qi Baoping and the Crown Prince Qi Xingsheng accidentally discovered that the dancer Yuan Qiuli looked similar to Emperor Liang's favored Imperial Noble Consort Cui Li, and they were both pregnant at almost the same time. It was such a coincidence, as if it was God's help, so they decided to find a way to let Yuan Qiuli replace her.
Qi Baoping planned to let Yuan Qiuli stay by Emperor Liang's side as Cui Li, replacing Cui Li and becoming Emperor Liang's favorite. At the same time, he would let Yuan Qiuli's son become the crown prince of Liang. After Yuan Qiuli poisoned Liang Sheng to death, Qi would cooperate with Yuan Qiuli to seize the throne of Liang.
