Chapter 146: To each his own need

Luo Liyao let go of the little attendant and walked all the way to the side hall, but saw Chu Lingze sitting upright in the pavilion, smiling at her politelyβ€”as if she had expected her arrival a long time ago.

He glanced at the large dried blood stains on Luo Liyao's dress meaningfully, his face changed slightly, but he still immediately got up and saluted her: "Princess." ”

Luo Liyao nodded to Tang Haoqi behind him, walked into the pavilion alone, and saluted him back: "The prince should have guessed why I came, so I went straight to the point - the imperial brother he was seriously injured, does the prince have the prescription that allows the wound to heal quickly?" ”

Her eyes were clear, her voice was pleasant, and her words were so straightforward.

Chu Lingze was only slightly stunned, then replied with a smile: "To tell the truth, there is." ”

The last string that Luo Liyao had been tightening was instantly loosened, and a little eagerness appeared on her face unconsciously.

But before she could continue to speak, she heard Chu Lingze's words again, which made her sober up in an instant: "Although I have this prescription, why does the princess think that I will tell you?" The princess won't forgetβ€”I'm from Shenchu, not from Tianqi. ”

Luo Liyao's face suddenly turned cold.

Yes, why did she think that Chu Lingze would give her the prescription and let her save Luo Xizheng?

In recent years, Tianqi has been strong and strong, rising rapidly, and has faintly seen the momentum of the Four Kingdoms, and Luo Xizheng is the emperor of Tianqi.

He was assassinated at this time and was injured and his life was in danger, if he died, Tianqi would inevitably set off a bloody storm, and he would definitely have to experience some turmoil, and his original strength would definitely be greatly reduced, directly giving other countries a chance to take advantage of the situation...... Therefore, this is something that the royal families of the other four countries like to see.

And Shen Chu, to which Chu Lingze belongs, is one of these four countries.

So why did Chu Lingze give this prescription to Luo Liyao and let her save Luo Xizheng?

It seems that no matter how you think about it, no matter how eloquent Luo Liyao is, she can't erase their essentially hostile relationship.

But Luo Liyao didn't give up, this was the only way to save Luo Xizheng, she had to convince Chu Lingze.

"The prince hasn't married a wife yet, has he?"

"No, the imperial brother doesn't have it, I ......" Chu Lingze didn't want her to suddenly ask about this, but he answered her without thinking, "Naturally, no." ”

"Then the crown prince knows, which county lord did our Tianqi want to promise to your imperial brother?" Luo Liyao smiled slightly, seeing that he had a slightly thoughtful look, she continued, "It's the only daughter of Princess Huijia and Meng Yao, the county lord of Liran. ”

Chu Lingze frowned slightly: "The county lord of the Meng family? ”

"The status and prestige of the Meng family, as well as how difficult it is for the women of the Meng family

Yes, I don't think I need to talk to the prince more. Luo Liyao looked at him, "If the county lord of Liran really marries your imperial brother, it will be equivalent to one more Meng family standing behind him, and your crown prince...... At stake. ”

Chu Lingze's brows jumped and he was silent.

"But fortunately, I have a good relationship with the county lord of Li Ran, and I know that she is a very temperamental woman-" The corners of Luo Liyao's lips were slightly hooked, revealing a meaningful smile, and her blood-stained robe, which was amazing but a little frightened at the same time, "As far as she is concerned, she is only willing to marry a man she approves, that is, a gentleman as personable as the crown prince; As far as Shen Chu is concerned, you only need the marriage relationship between a prince and the lord of Tianqi. ”

Chu Lingze looked at her suddenly, his pupils constricted slightly: "The princess means ......"

"The prince is smart, he must have figured out the trick of it, and he doesn't need me to say much at all." Luo Liyao said softly, "The status of the county lord of Liran is noble, not inferior to Princess Tianqi in any way, and behind it is the royal family and the Meng family - in the past, when the imperial sister got married, I was not yet in time, so I couldn't be the one to marry, but now I can." ”

"I already understand what the princess means." Chu Lingze suddenly laughed a few times, began to re-examine Luo Liyao from the bottom of his heart, and turned his head to the little waiter standing outside the pavilion and shouted, "Bring pen and ink!" ”

Luo Liyao watched him quickly write down the ratio and usage of the prescription, took the thin piece of rice paper from his hand, and handed the prescription to Tang Haoqi casually after only a slight glance, who quickly took it, turned around and went to get the medicine according to the prescription.

She paused before whispering, "Thank you, Prince." ”

Chu Lingze smiled slightly, and said gently: "The princess doesn't need to say thank you, we are just - each takes what he needs." ”

Yes, to each according to his needs.

Luo Liyao's words just now have been expressed extremely clearly-the county lord of Li Ran has a noble status, and her parents, who regard her as the pearl of their palms, may not be willing to marry her far away, and she will definitely not be willing to marry Chu Lingyuan, who has never met before. But if she fell in love with Chu Lingze and married him willingly, then it would be a different matter. And a handsome gentleman like Chu Lingze happens to be the ideal beloved of the county lord of Liran.

Then Luo Liyao will be the one who gives the marriage, and justifiably promote them to enter Shenchu with them - with Luo Liyao, the princess of Tianqi, whether it is Chu Zhaoxi or Chu Lingyuan, even if they are unwilling, they can only admit that the county lord of Li Ran married Chu Lingze.

To put it simply, Chu Lingze handed over this prescription that could save Luo Xizheng's life to Luo Liyao, and Luo Liyao helped him marry the county lord of Liran and stabilize his position as the prince of Shenchu.

This prescription didn't mean anything to Chu Lingze, but for Luo Liyao, it was the only chance to save Luo Xizheng; It has nothing to do with who the county lord of Liran marries Luo Liyao, but if he marries Chu Lingze, he has the support of Tianqi and the Meng family behind him

All the difficulties we are facing at present can also be solved.

To each his own – it's a great deal for both of them.

Luo Liyao didn't say anything more, only nodded slightly at him, and then turned around and walked towards the Yiyuan Palace.

Tang Haoqi's movements were also extremely fast, and he caught up with her halfway through, and handed her a jade bottle that was not too big or small: "According to the prescription given by Prince Shenchu, fortunately, this thing is simple - I have seen it, there should be no problem with the medicinal materials and proportions, there must be more in it." ”

"Okay, good work." Luo Liyao only accepted the bottle, and then stretched out her hand to him again, "Lend me your weapon for use, the kind that is not poisonous." ”

"Huh?" Tang Haoqi was a little surprised, seeing her straight face, but he still hurriedly buckled a small arrow at the cuff and handed it to her, "Be careful, it's very sharp-eh, Your Highness, what are you doing here?" ”

Luo Liyao didn't say a word, and used the small arrow to cut directly on his left arm, leaving a deep wound, and the blood did not stop.

Tang Haoqi screamed in surprise, but he immediately understood: "Your Highness, it turns out that you are also a ruthless person...... Trying the medicine by yourself, such emotions are simply admirable and admirable. ”

Luo Liyao ignored him, only took the plug at the jade bottle, and applied some medicine to the bleeding wound on his arm - it was a fluid-like ointment, as soon as it touched the bleeding wound, it began to work, and the blood coagulated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a thin layer of blood scabs soon formed on the wound.

Seeing this, Tang Haoqi breathed a sigh of relief with Luo Liyao: "It's useful." ”

"Hmm." The two of them didn't say anything more and continued to go to the Yiyuan Palace.

And when Luo Liyao stepped into the Yiyuan Hall again, she had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and before she entered the main hall, she was pulled by the ink curtain that suddenly came out of the shadows.

"It's Prime Minister Ning here." Mo Wei whispered: "I also brought the people of Qin Tianjian and some forbidden soldiers. ”

As soon as his words fell, Shi Yuezhen's voice of scolding came from the hall: "Ning Zhongyi!" You wolf-hearted thing--you are doing harm to Your Majesty! ”

Tang Haoqi's body was shocked, his pupils shrank, and he didn't have time to ask Luo Liyao, so he rushed directly inside.

Luo Liyao didn't get entangled, and followed in with a frown, and Mo Wei also followed the two.

As soon as he entered Luo Xizheng's dormitory, he saw Ye Luoqing's general Shi Yue Zhen behind him, and Ning Zhong was already standing in front of Luo Xizheng's bed, ordering the surrounding forbidden troops to step forward and take them down.

But the most conspicuous of them was the person who was dressed in a red-clothed official robe and dressed as Qin Tianjian next to Ning Zhong - the chief official of Qin Tianjian, He Xuelin, who was known as "He Eunuch".

Tang Haoqi hurriedly stepped forward, waved his hand and knocked those people unconscious, and grabbed them by the way

A person's weapon and long sword were in his hand, blocking the front of Ye Luoqing and Shi Yuezhen.

As soon as Luo Liyao saw He Xuelin, she was angry and shouted, "What about Yu'an? ”

Yu'an, who was at a loss on the side, saw that it was her, and hurriedly greeted her as if he had found the backbone of the master: "The slave is hereβ€”Your Highness......"

Luo Liyao knew that he wanted to explain why he failed to carry out his orders and killed He Xuelin, so he hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, you go to Canglan Hall now to bring a letter, and let Su Luoran and Tianji come overβ€”β€”"

Ning Zhong turned his head directly, signaled the forbidden army to stop Yu An, stared at Luo Liyao's eyes as if he was going to devour her alive with a thousand knives, and said hatefully: "The princess colluded with the king of Juan to murder His Majesty so far, what face do you have to stand here?!" ”

Luo Liyao ignored him at all, stepped forward and handed the jade bottle in his hand to Shi Yuezhen: "The medicine is here, hurry up and give him the medicine." ”

Life and death are at stake, for Luo Liyao, it is naturally Luo Xizheng's life that is more important.

"How can medicine from unknown sources be easily used for Your Majesty? Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't want to blatantly kill the king and seize the throne, right?! Tang Haoqi originally wanted to protect Shi Yuezhen and stepped forward, but he was still blocked by the forbidden army ordered by Ning Zhong, "Since this official is here today, I must wipe out all the rebellious ministers and thieves who are plotting to kill Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Luo Liyao's brows were not relaxed, and when she saw a person wearing armor and a sword, majestically leading more forbidden troops into the hall, she wrinkled even tighter-Mu Zhou, one of the commanders of the forbidden army, was completely different from Qi Guanxiu, who relied on his own efforts and did not stand in line, he was the person who Ning Zhong pulled up with one hand.
