Chapter 517: The stakes are high
"Because, this is a big matter, this is not only a matter of the blood flag, but also a matter of your emperor and the entire Jiangbei."
Li Chuxia straightened his waist and faced Emperor Mingde's scrutinizing gaze like this, without the slightest fear, but bright and frank.
Emperor Mingde laughed instead, "You try so hard to persuade me, I look at it, I'm afraid you are the one who wants to subvert Jiangbei." Why, after so many years, Baili Yunzheng finally figured it out and wanted to take this opportunity to let me give up the country? ”
He obviously didn't believe it, and he didn't agree with Li Chuxia's proposal.
Li Chuxia only looked at him directly, and said: "Your Majesty, you must know that this matter is also related to you, this time Jiangbei and the Blood Banner are at war, and the people behind the scenes not only want to deal with the Blood Banner, but also want to use this to be unfavorable to Jiangbei." ”
At this moment, Emperor Mingde suddenly reacted and was slightly stunned.
In fact, what Li Chuxia said is right, the intentions of the people behind this scene are obvious, if the two sides start a war, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation, and when the time comes, it will ......
When he thought of this, he became a little worried.
Seeing this, Li Chuxia knew that Emperor Mingde was a little shaken, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued: "If this scene can be performed, then it is possible for us to turn passive into active, do you want to be held in the hands of the person behind the scenes?" ”
Emperor Mingde's heart sank.
In fact, he had a point in his heart about what Li Chuxia said, knowing that Li Chuxia came specially and said most of the things he said were true, so he pursed his lips and lowered his eyes and said: "Okay, I can promise you, but I don't want that when the time comes, after the blood flag enters the Jiangbei Palace, it will bite me back." ”
"If the emperor is not at ease, he will set a trap in the palace, in addition to guarding against us, you can also guard against the gangsters behind the scenes." Li Chuxia was very frank, and Emperor Mingde couldn't help laughing, "Li Chuxia, you are still the same as before, thinking only about others and thinking about others everywhere. ”
"I just don't want any more fighting." Li Chuxia smiled bitterly.
She and Baili Yunzheng have average temperaments, putting the interests of others, family and country first, which is why the two of them can come together, at this time, Emperor Mingde looked at Li Chuxia's appearance, and in a trance, he seemed to see Baili Yunzheng's expression and demeanor, and there was a light for the people everywhere.
After so many years of husband and wife, these two people have become more and more tacit and more similar.
Emperor Mingde suddenly became a little jealous, for so many years, although he was in a high position, but all kinds of women walked by him, none of them could be as sincere as Li Chuxia to Baili Yunzheng, he wanted Li Chuxia, and he gradually looked forward to such feelings.
"Early summer, after I promised you this time......"
"Yun Zheng has already agreed to go into hiding, and he will definitely not break his promise, this time, it is indeed an urgent situation, please forgive me." Li Chuxia seemed to have expected what Emperor Mingde would say, interrupted one step in advance, and then said: "Your Majesty, Yun Zheng is still waiting for me outside the palace, and I will retire first." ”
She moved Baili Yunzheng out, but she just didn't want Emperor Mingde to continue to entangle, so Emperor Mingde stood there, looking at the back of Li Chuxia leaving, his eyes were as complicated as his mood.
At this time, as if he had noticed something, he turned his head to look to the side, but saw a figure reflected on the door panel, he pursed his lips, and was about to speak, but saw that the man had already walked in and saluted in front of him.
"Queen? What are you here to do? Emperor Mingde suppressed the complicated emotions in Fang Cai's eyes, and replaced them with coldness, and his tone was as cold as ice in winter.
Lang Yue got up slightly and said, "Your Majesty, is the concubine wrong?" The concubine seems to have seen Li Chuxia? ”
She asked knowingly, not only did she see Li Chuxia, she also stood outside for a while, listened to their conversation, and saw that Li Chuxia had left, and then came in.
Emperor Mingde replied directly with a red face and a heartbeat: "Well, you are wrong. ”
Lang Yue paused, she knew that Emperor Mingde was probably trying to shield Li Chuxia, so she simply stepped forward, gently pulled Emperor Mingde's arm, and said softly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the concubines and you are of the same mind, and the emperor doesn't have to guard against the concubines like this." Fang Cai that Li Chuxia came over, but what did he say? ”
Emperor Mingde frowned, "Since you already know that it is Li Chuxia, why do you still knowingly ask?" What did I say to her, do you need to know? ”
"Isn't the concubine worried about the emperor?" Lang Yue pursed her lips, looking aggrieved, "I heard that Blood Banner is recruiting troops recently, as if it is going to attack Jiangbei, Your Majesty, you have to be careful, don't listen to Li Chuxia's slander." ”
"Oh?" Emperor Mingde raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his head to look at Lang Yue with interest, "I don't even know about this matter, but your news is better than mine." ”
Lang Yue choked when he landed.
This Emperor Mingde himself doesn't like her, although she has become the queen, but the number of times he has come to his palace is only a handful, she didn't think it was like it before, but now I know that once you need to use Emperor Mingde to do things, it is really difficult.
At this time, she wanted to deceive Emperor Mingde, which was not an easy thing.
Lang Yue hurriedly said: "After all, the concubine's maiden family is in Northern Xinjiang, and she still knows a little about the movements in Northern Xinjiang. ”
"Didn't you inquire about it?" Emperor Mingde asked more, obviously not quite believing her appearance.
"Naturally not, Your Majesty, why can't you trust your concubines? None of what Li Chuxia said just now was true. Lang Yue was probably really in a hurry, and if she said it, she might not even realize the problem.
Emperor Mingde suddenly waved his sleeves, pulled his hand out of Lang Yue's hand, and sneered: "You are so bold, now, you dare to listen to my corner!" ”
Lang Yue was startled, fell to his knees with a thud, and prostrate at the feet of Emperor Mingde, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, please forgive the emperor." ”
"I don't think there's anything wrong with you, but I'm very proud." Emperor Mingde snorted coldly, "Empress, I will warn you one last time, there are some corners, which are really not something you can hear if you want to hear them." ”
Lang Yue trembled and nodded her head in a low bow.
After waiting for Lang Yue to leave, Emperor Mingde stood in the hall, thinking of what Li Chuxia said, and thinking of Fang Cai Lang Yue's various actions, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his eyes.
He turned around sharply and called a guard in, "You send someone over, keep an eye on the queen's palace, and if there is any abnormality, come back quickly and report to me." ”
The guard paused, secretly raised his eyes, and saw Emperor Mingde's angry look, so he didn't dare to ask more, but bowed his head and said, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”
At this moment, after Lang Yue came out of Emperor Mingde's bedroom, there was a chill behind him, and the whole person's footsteps were empty, as if as long as he pushed lightly, the whole person could fall down at once.
At this time, a little palace maid suddenly walked out of her hall and collided with Lang Yue head-on, almost knocking Lang Yue down.
Seeing this, Lang Yue raised her hand and gave the palace maid a slap fiercely, "What kind of thing are you, you dare to rush into the palace with such a short eye!" ”
The power of this slap was extremely great, and the palace maid was slapped down by Lang Yue like this, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and she fell to the ground delicately, but even so, she didn't dare to be disrespectful, knelt at Lang Yue's feet, and prostrate said: "Niang Niang forgives her sins, the slave knows her mistakes, and the slave and maid don't dare anymore." ”
"This palace doesn't have the courage to do it again." Lang Yue snorted coldly and glared at the palace maid angrily.
At this time, Lang Qi walked out of it when he heard the sound, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's wrong?" Having such a big temper? You're so noble, you can't worry about the same palace maid, right? ”
Lang Yue glared at the palace maid viciously, too lazy to care about this palace maid, and now there are more important things to say to Lang Qi, so she only gritted her teeth and said, "You come in." ”
Lang Qi nodded, seeing Lang Yue's cautious appearance, he knew that something must have happened, so he beckoned, and after letting the palace maid retreat, he closed the door.
After turning around, he approached Lang Yue's side and asked in a deep voice, "But what happened?" ”
"Well, Li Chuxia has come to the palace." Lang Yue nodded, and told Lang Qi what had just happened to tell the whole story.
At the same time, after a man in black infiltrated the queen's palace, he only listened to it on the roof for a short time, and was immediately caught by a guard and taken directly to Emperor Mingde.
Emperor Mingde couldn't help but wonder when he saw the guards bringing people, "Who is this?" ”
The guard shook his head and said, "The subordinates saw him wandering around the Queen's Palace and his appearance was suspicious, so they brought him back." ”
Emperor Mingde stepped forward and directly ripped off the mask of the man in black, and when he saw the face of the man in black clearly, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Why are you?" ”
The man in black in front of him is not Yan Ruoxi.
Yan Ruoxi pursed her lips and lowered her head, "Your Majesty." ”
"Why did you go to the Queen's Palace and dress like this, what do you want to do?" Emperor Mingde looked at Yan Ruoxi, his eyes full of disappointment.
Yan Ruoxi knew that he would be suspected by Emperor Mingde if he was arrested this time, so he lied, "I...... I saw someone wandering around my palace, so I came out and followed, dressed like this, just because I didn't want to startle the snake, and who knew that I followed him to the queen's palace, and then I ......"
Needless to say, Emperor Mingde naturally knew it.
However, it seems that Emperor Mingde didn't seem to believe Yan Ruoxi's words at all, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "Really?" I always thought you were the least lying. ”
"The Emperor's ......"
"Because you're lying, it's really not like it." Emperor Mingde snorted lightly, "Yan Ruoxi, I hope you don't let me down. ”
