Chapter 35: No Tigers in the Mountains
In the backyard of the Nine Kings Mansion, Lu Li was swaying his legs eating pastries, drinking tea, and listening to the maid beside him talk about the interesting story of Yong'an Palace last night.
I can't help but feel good.
It's funny to suspect that she has planted a spy in Yong'an Palace.
"Girl, do you want to pass on lunch?" The velvet flower on her side asked, she was an old man from the Nine Kings Mansion, and she was originally serving in the front yard, but this time Lu Li was poisoned, so Xiao He decided to transfer her here.
The people in this courtyard all said that Lu Li's favor was fake, but people like Ronghua looked at it and it was real.
Listening to Shen Xiao, the prince was really anxious yesterday.
I've probably never seen the prince do this to a woman.
"I said they were all starving to death. Lu Li said, and hurriedly swept another piece of pastry in his mouth.
She was literally hungry.
Ronghua smiled and went out to spread the word, but she felt that the landing was cutely tight, and there was no domineering person in the backyard, relying on the person who was stuffed by the queen mother to try to insult the subordinates, but it was a lot more cordial.
If Lu Li knew, some people said that she was kind, and she was not allowed to jump into the room, she was definitely blind.
A table full of dishes, steamed lamb, meatballs, pig's trotter soup, crispy roast duck...... It's all meat, is she really a pig?
"This is the dish ordered by Lord Shen, saying that the master ordered you to eat more meat, you have lost weight in the past few days, and I am afraid that it will be spread that the palace will criticize you. Ronghua said with a smile, looking at these dishes is not appetizing.
Lu Li rolled her eyes, she didn't care, she had already starved to death, as soon as she got her hands on it, she was a whole duck, and she was stunned when she looked at the people who served the vegetables below.
In the pavilion outside the courtyard.
When Ruling heard Lu Li's style, she couldn't help but mock: "It's also the prime minister's daughter, how can you live like you've never eaten, heh, you can be careful these days, and when the prince leaves Beijing, arrange her dishes well." ”
Ruling snorted coldly, her face full of displeasure.
News came from the palace, saying that this bully had reached the head of the Queen Mother, and she had to attack Lu Li first and let her die.
In the past few days, Xiao He has decided to leave Kyoto, and this is their best chance to do it.
......
In the palace.
When the emperor heard about last night's farce, he rubbed his eyebrows.
"The Queen Mother is now more and more domineering, and she even blatantly kills people. Lin Shangshu, who was standing in front, gritted his teeth and said, "But now that the son of the Song family has made a contribution to quelling the rebellion against the mountain bandits, the emperor has to think carefully about how to reward it." ”
The emperor sighed and glanced at Xiao Hedu.
"Ninth brother, I also heard about last night's incident, but fortunately no one died. The emperor took a deep breath, "Give Miss Lu some more rewards, so as not to make it difficult for Lu Xiang to talk about it." ”
"I know. Xiao Heju said softly, "Now that the mountain bandits have not been pacified, and the land route from Dongyao has been cut off, how can it become a meritorious person to quell the rebellion of the mountain bandits, Lin Shangshu, is this merit so easy to invite?"
The corners of the man's mouth hooked up with a sneer, and Lin Shangshu was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down.
Weichen didn't mean anything else, and asked the prince to forgive his sins. ”
"My lord's words are serious, the royal brother will not blame you, how can this king be. Xiao Heju said softly, full of disdain.
Lin Shangshu took a breath and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, fortunately he didn't say the wrong thing.
The emperor laughed lightly: "It's okay, this matter of clearing the mountain bandits, you still have to bother the ninth brother, Song Changle was injured, and now the situation is not good, they are trapped in Longtanling, and they also asked the ninth brother to help and rescue people." ”
Lin Shangshu felt more and more weak at this moment, he didn't expect that the son of the Song family was actually seriously injured.
No wonder the emperor hurriedly looked for the Nine Princes to come over today.
"The courtier's order. Xiao He said lightly, frowning slightly, it was originally a planned departure from Beijing, but why is his heart uneasy now.
It was probably because Lu Li was poisoned by the Queen Mother last night.
She, Lu Qingxuan, is his person after all, and she will never let people kill her in vain!
