Chapter 217: The Other Side of Li Yuanxu
Xiao Mingyue returned to Furong Xuan with the two little palace maids, and along the way, the two little palace maids jumped up and down and seemed to be happier than Xiao Mingyue, as if Li Yuanxu came to see not the 'Wu'er girl' at night, but the two of them.
"Why are you two so happy?" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help asking.
"We are so happy for Miss Wu'er! The king is coming to see Miss Wu'er in the evening!"
After the two finished speaking, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and then their faces showed extremely shy expressions.
Xiao Mingyue walked briskly in front, thinking about the countermeasures for the night in her heart.
When they returned to Furong Xuan, the two little palace maids were busy preparing for Xiao Mingyue, and Xiao Mingyue was about to break them up, so she asked them to boil the bath water and pick the petals.
"Have you figured out the situation over there in the White Tower?" Xiao Mingyue asked Amber and Childish.
Amber shook her head and said, "Although the guards are not very strong, the two of us also went to the entrance, but the door is tightly locked, and we can't enter without a key!"
"And it is said that the key is on the body of the king of the party! Only if you get the key, you have a chance to get in!" Childish said.
"Since the key is on Li Yuanxu's body, then leave it to me!" Xiao Mingyue said.
Amber frowned and said, "Miss, is the king of the party really coming over at night?" "
"Well, but don't worry! I've got a secret weapon!" Xiao Mingyue took out the 'sweat medicine' given by the childish confucian, and said proudly.
"But the slave maid is still worried, what if the king of the party is not stunned? What should Miss do?!"
"Then I'll use this dagger to defend myself!"
Xiao Mingyue said as she took out the short, sharp dagger that Yu Wendi had given her from under her pillow.
"The two of us will stay outside the house, and the county lord can just call us if there is anything!" Zhiru also said.
"Alright! You two can rest assured! I'll be fine!" Xiao Mingyue comforted the two.
After bathing in the fragrant soup, Xiao Mingyue was replaced with a new dress, which was still the clothes of a party woman, but this one was white, with good embroidery on the cuffs and placket, Xiao Mingyue looked a little more lively and delicate, and the two little palace maids put on a slightly light makeup for Xiao Mingyue, Xiao Mingyue was worried that it would be too similar to her previous appearance and temperament, so she still lit a cinnabar mole in the center of her eyebrows.
Then a eunuch said that the king was going to come over for dinner, and the palace people of Furong Xuan did not need to prepare, saying that the king had already sent someone to prepare it properly, and it would be delivered in a while, and told Xiao Mingyue, that is, Miss Wu'er, not to be anxious.
Xiao Mingyue said angrily in her heart: "Li Yuanxu is really a lot of words!" What do I have to worry about? But he's in a hurry to drink the 'sweat medicine'!"
After about a cup of tea, I heard a eunuch come and say, "The king has arrived!"
Xiao Mingyue cheered up and got up to greet her.
Then I saw that Li Yuanxu also came in white, which was completely different from the temperament he saw in the wrestling ring, and it was not as old-fashioned as what he saw in Yunqing Palace, "Is he deliberately dressing himself up younger?!" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help muttering in her heart.
"Meet the King!"
"Excuse me!"
Then Li Yuanxu sat down at the table where he was eating, and beckoned to Xiao Mingyue, "Are you hungry?" Come and sit down!"
Then he ordered the palace maids outside to come in and pass the dishes, and all the dishes were tightly sealed, a total of twelve dishes were served, and there were some fruit pastries and the like.
The moment the maid opened each dish, Xiao Mingyue complained in her heart, "It's all meat, 'beef, mutton, venison, bear's paws...... 'he Li Yuanxu did it on purpose, right?" Or did he really only eat meat, not vegetables, no wonder the tendon meat is all the meat of small animals!"
Li Yuanxu looked at Xiao Mingyue and said, "Are these still to your liking?" If you're still satisfied, eat it!"
Xiao Mingyue hated greasy meals the most, and all the dishes were meat and fishy, but in order not to make Li Yuanxu suspicious, she had to pretend that she could eat them, and she liked these foods very much.
"Thank you, my lord, these meals are very much to Wu'er's taste! Wu'er has never seen so many delicacies!" Xiao Mingyue said softly.
"That's good, everyone in my party has always eaten only meat, not vegetables! Originally, I was worried that you would not be able to get used to it, but it seems that this king's worries are superfluous!"
During the banquet, Xiao Mingyue endured the discomfort and ate a lot of meat, and finally it was really difficult to swallow, so she opened her mouth and tried to chat with Li Yuanxu, "Isn't the king busy today?" How can you come and see me when you have time?!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Mingyue felt that something was wrong, what is her identity? Not his concubine yet!
"Didn't you see it all today? You come to see this king, and this king has to come to see you! It's called 'courtesy'!" Li Yuanxu said.
"Well, so, so thank you, the king!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you, this king has decided! I'll be staying in your palace for a while! Prepare yourself!" After Li Yuanxu finished speaking, he put down a pair of ivory and silver-inlaid chopsticks in his hand, got up and went to the bedroom.
then lay on Xiao Mingyue's bed, looked at this, and then looked at that.
Xiao Mingyue suddenly became speechless, what is he? Do you think you are a king and sleep wherever you want? Do whatever you want?
But fortunately, this 'sweat medicine' can finally come in handy.
He ordered the palace maids to go out, and when Li Yuanxu went to the inner palace, he took a look and poured the medicine into the tea.
Then he was relieved to bring it to Li Yuanxu, and said with a smile: "Wang, drink a cup of hot tea before going to bed, it will help calm your nerves!"
Xiao Mingyue was still a little worried in her heart, thinking that she would have to pour this tea into Li Yuanxu no matter what.
Fortunately, Li Yuanxu did not doubt it, and drank it very happily.
Then he looked at Xiao Mingyue intently and said, "You really look like her!" But she's a proud county lord! There have always been as many as the stars; You are a witch, although your identity is not as good as her, but from now on, with this king pampering you, will you live better?"
Before he finished speaking, the medicine reacted, and Li Yuanxu began to feel dizzy.
"King, since you are sleepy, lie down and sleep!" Xiao Mingyue said softly.
Then he asked Li Yuanxu to lie on his bed obediently, sat on the edge of the bed, and after half a cup of tea, he was sure that Li Yuanxu was asleep, and he was ready to touch Li Yuanxu's waist to find the key to the white tower.
After groping for a long time, I found three keys, "It stands to reason that one should be from the treasury, one from the armory, and the last one is the key to the White Tower!" But which one exactly? "
When she was racking her brains to think about it, Xiao Mingyue suddenly remembered the appearance of the white tower, "There is a pattern of vermilion birds on the eaves of the tower!" That's it!"
So he picked up the key in the middle and prepared to return the other two to Li Yuanxu's waist.
"Mother! Don't leave your sons behind! Father, I beg you, forgive Mother!" Li Yuanxu suddenly grabbed Xiao Mingyue's arm, and there were words in his mouth.
"I can't imagine that this Li Yuanxu is still talking in his sleep when he sleeps!" Xiao Mingyue teased as she brushed Li Yuanxu's big hand away and prepared to get up and leave.
But Li Yuanxu desperately didn't let go, still holding Xiao Mingyue's arm tightly, but held it tighter, Xiao Mingyue also felt that Li Yuanxu's palms were sweating, although he was asleep, he was more nervous than when he was awake.
Thinking of the party since the founding of Li Yuanhao, the struggle for political power, the struggle for royal power, and the cannibalism of relatives are even more cruel, "Li Yuanxu must have lacked maternal love since he was a child!" Xiao Mingyue muttered.
So he helped him untie his clothes, took off his coat and boots, and sang a few folk songs of the Northern Dynasty softly, "The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep ......"
Then coaxed Li Yuanxu to sleep peacefully, and let go of her hand, Xiao Mingyue dropped the bed curtain, quietly walked out of the room, and secretly went to the White Tower with Amber and Zhiru.
