Chapter 51
Fortunately, Chi Peony adjusted in time and forcibly held back her tears.
In the next second, Ruoqiang's words completely sent her to hell.
"Today, the whole country celebrates. The lonely heart is happy, and he has been looking for an orphan girl for more than ten years. Lobsang Bianpa Tsering has a meritorious role in protecting the princess, which makes Gu very gratified. Gu Te was accepted as a righteous son, named the prince, and given the name Letu"
As soon as Ruoqiang's words came out, everyone was shocked and set off a gossip discussion.
Not only them, but Red Peony, Ruthless, and Nanqian were all stunned at the same moment.
Chi Shao's eyes were red, and she turned her head to look at Ruoqiang, her body still trembling.
Ruthlessly came back to his senses, smiled bitterly and knelt down to thank "Thank you for the grace of the Queen"
The autumn wind swept up a gust of wind and sand, and blew away a small speck of dust.
Red Peony threw the crown of pearls on his head into the distance, and the pearls scattered all over the ground.
"Why? Why is this world so unfair" Chi Peony buried her face in the crook of her arm and cried.
"Ahh
There are lovers in the world who eventually become brothers and sisters, which was originally a joke, but now it has really come true.
She didn't know how to comfort Chi Shao, she was confused about Jiang Liang, let alone give advice to others.
"Princess, Prince Letu asks to see"
The sound outside the door made Chi Shao look up violently, and one got up and tripped himself again. Chi Shao was half-lying on the ground, her eyes blurred with tears from her face, and she struggled to get up but fell down again.
The light from outside the temple fell on her, and a pair of black and gold boots appeared in front of her. She looked up at the man she had been thinking about day and night. Tears streaming down his face again.
Letting the person in front of her pull her up, she fell into the ruthless embrace, and choked again, "Senior brother...."
Nan Qian clearly saw the painful look that was ruthlessly suppressed on the side. For a moment, his blood-red eyes closed tightly and pushed away the red peony.
"I hope the princess will be self-respecting. Now this king is your brother."
Chi Shao stared at him blankly, her arms still in mid-air.
"Senior brother, you..." Chi Shao wiped away her tears, raised her head and looked at Ruthless, trying to find something in his eyes. It's a pity that there is nothing else in it but indifference.
Ruthlessly rolled his eyes to look away, and took a step back.
"From now on, I will still be the princess's senior brother, and I will do my best to assist the princess and live up to the queen's high expectations"
Chi Shao shook his head and looked at his evasive eyes, "Senior brother won't be like this... You're not my brother, you give him back to me."
"The king has known your identity since the time the master brought you back, and the queen's request over the years has finally been fulfilled. Princess, don't be fearless anymore...."
"No!" Chi Shao stepped forward and ruthlessly pushed away "I don't believe it"
At this moment, Chi Shao's mood was on the verge of collapse, and she stumbled and overturned a lot of things on the table.
Nan Qian suddenly glanced at the ruthless eyes and understood something. stepped forward and quietly clicked on the sleeping hole of the red peony.
"Princess, princess, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and ask for a doctor," Nan Qian yelled with a frown.
The palace maids in the palace were all in a hurry and rushed out.
Ruthless also stepped forward to place the red peony with Nan Qian, and ruthlessly quietly handed Nan Qian a note at the moment of approaching.
"The princess is not comfortable, and this king should not stay for a long time, so he will retire first" Ruthlessly glanced at the guards who had been following him behind him, and nodded towards Nan Qian.
When the palace returned to tranquility, Nan Qian quickly opened the note: At night, quarrel with the king, drag out time, I look for a teacher and medicine
After watching Nan Qian, he quickly tore apart and burned, and the matter still came to this point, and it could only be solved by force.
Ruthless was already hopeless, drinking sip after sip in the so-called "palace", and the "guards" beside him were eyeing him.
The flask fell to the feet of one of the guards, and when the guard walked up to him and handed the jug, he suddenly smelled a strange smell.
He suddenly remembered that his master had said that this fragrance was the aroma of preserving the corpse from decaying.
His hand holding the flask trembled slightly, even if it was just a faint smell. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.
Chi Shao and the master are indispensable.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and you can't see your fingers at night. There was a shadow on the eaves of the Loulan Palace, carefully following the people in front of him.
Ruthless followed the guards to a secret room, and his heart couldn't help but jump. It was as if she had seen the scene in the secret room, and saw the smile on the face of the red peony who rescued her.
The guard looked around and saw that there was no one, and turned the room button. The stone door was opened.
Ruthlessly hiding by the wall and looking into the stone door, there was not even a little light in the black mass.
After the guards entered, the stone door was quickly closed again. Ruthless waited outside the door for almost half an hour before finally seeing the guards come out of the stone gate. As he passed by, the scent wafted again, deeper and stronger than the last time.
Ruthlessly stood in front of the stone gate and repeated the guard's movements. The stone door was quickly opened again, and the stone door was quickly closed again after relentlessly entering a pitch-black space.
He groped around in the secret room, unable to reach the edge with his hands outstretched, and it was clear that the secret room was bigger than he had imagined.
Finally, after groping around in the secret room for a quarter of an hour, he ruthlessly walked around the corner and saw a faint candlelight.
Ruthless was happy in his heart, but he had not let down his vigilance and moved forward against the wall.
The candlelight is getting closer, and the relentless pace is quickening.
When he saw the object in the candlelight, he was shocked in his heart, and he was about to flee out with light work.
Unexpectedly, all this was premeditated, and the trap in the secret room was activated, and he was ruthlessly trapped inside.
At this moment, there was a sound of a stone door on the other side.
Ruoqiang came dressed in a gorgeous costume, "Lone said that there is always a sneaky shadow in front of the secret room these days, Lone wants to see which daring thief even dares to steal national treasures"
The fire gradually lit up in the secret room, and after staying in the dark for a long time, the fire suddenly appeared, and the ruthless was a little uncomfortable.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Ruoqiang looking at him with a stunned expression, as well as the pointing and pointing of many ministers beside him.
When she saw Nan Qian looking at him helplessly, and Chi Shao's equally shocked face. He knew that he was caught by the praying mantis again.
"King Letu, why are you here?" Ruoqiang looked at him with a pretended shocked expression.
"Isn't this what you've always been aiming for, even getting close to the princess is carefully planned"
Nan Qian supported her forehead, she was afraid that Chi Shao would be worried that ruthlessness would reveal flaws, so she didn't tell her about the note.
She deliberately said something about Ruoqiang, which aroused Chi Shao's anger. Sure enough, the more Red Peony thought about it, the more angry she became, and she had to go to the queen to theorize.
I never thought that when I first went to the imperial study, I found that Ruoqiang was talking to the minister, and Chi Shao's anger was about to erupt, and Nan Qian couldn't stop it if she wanted to.
Who knew that at this moment, it was rumored that there was a thief in the secret room where the national treasure was hidden, and Ruoqiang had enough reason to bring them to catch the "thief".
