Chapter 205: The Drunkard's Meaning
As the saying goes, "It's better to believe what you have than what you don't", after all, Lu Qingmeng is the person who knows Lu Xuan better than Li Ce, since even she is so suspicious, then no matter whether this matter is true or not, it can't be delayed for a moment.
Li Ce was about to go out, but was stopped by Lu Qingmeng: "My lord, where are you going?" ”
"Changwang Mansion." Li Ce responded succinctly: "If Lu Xuan really went to investigate the soldiers and horses in the eastern suburbs on this trip, then His Highness must know about this matter as soon as possible, otherwise he will be caught by the murderous king, and I am afraid that it will be a place of no return." ”
Having said that, Li Ce is now an official of the household department after all, and if he goes to find out where King Chang is found by the eyeliner, I am afraid that such a long deployment will fall short.
Lu Qingmeng doesn't care who wins or loses, it's just that it's rare for her to find a backer, if she falls like this, then her plan to retaliate against the Lu family will be even more difficult to implement.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingmeng hypocritically recommended himself to Li Ce: "My lord, let me go, the relationship between you and His Royal Highness King Chang is inconvenient to record, I pretend to be Chang-level to go, I don't think it will arouse suspicion." ”
Seeing Lu Qingmeng's aggrieved look when he said this, Li Ce couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "But King Chang ...... him."
Li Ce didn't continue, but Lu Qingmeng understood that what he omitted was probably to say that King Chang had always been a good person, and she was afraid that she would fall into the fire pit if she went.
Lu Qingmeng shook his head when he heard this: "Just think of it as me repaying the grace of the adults for saving my life, I was swept out of the house by the Lu family that day, if it wasn't for the adults who rescued me and kindly took me in, I am afraid that I would have become a Chang-level slave by now." ”
Seeing that Lu Qingmeng looked sincere and sincerely wanted to repay himself, Li Ce had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and agreed, and then let her rush to King Chang's mansion overnight.
At that time, King Chang had already slept peacefully, and he didn't even dare to go to the palace to make noise, but Lu Qingmeng looked arrogant: "I have something important to report to Your Highness, if it is delayed, can you afford it?" ”
was threatened by Lu Qingmeng like this, thinking that if he really delayed King Chang's major event, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so the palace guards had the courage to take her in.
When he arrived at the door of King Chang's room, he hesitated for a while, and then the doorman dared to knock on the door softly, and shouted two words "Your Highness" with a trembling mouth.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, a stern rebuke came from inside: "Are you impatient? How dare you come to disturb the king's dreams? Don't get out of here! ”
Hearing this, the doorman glanced at Lu Qingmeng timidly, but she still had the threatening look on her face.
As a last resort, the doorman tentatively spoke to the people inside: "Your Highness, there is a girl who said that she has something important to report to Your Highness. ”
But even so, King Chang was still full of anger, and casually scolded him outside the door: "What girl, this king doesn't see anyone, get out of here!" ”
Seeing that King Chang was still in such an attitude, thinking that the doorman probably couldn't let him show up obediently, Lu Qingmeng had no choice but to go out in person.
I saw her whispering to the doorman at the door with her usual pitiful voice and a certain cry: "There is a big brother Laomenwei, tonight is Qingmeng's presumptuousness, since His Highness is closed, he can only be regarded as Qingmeng's life." ”
Lu Qingmeng's posture of judging the two of them before and after made the doorman couldn't help but be surprised, when she threatened everyone at the gate of Changwang's mansion, she was not the weak and helpless she looked like now.
It's just that before the doorman could say anything, Xu heard Lu Qingmeng mention his name, and her fairy-like face and graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of King Chang's eyes.
King Chang woke up from his dream in an instant: "Qingmeng, Lu Qingmeng, is that fairy sister who stood beside Li Ce that day?" ”
King Chang muttered to himself in a low voice, his saliva almost wetting the pillow towel.
Hearing a sound of footsteps outside the door, King Chang jumped up from the bed without saying a word, and hurriedly opened the door and went out to call Lu Qingmeng, who was about to leave, back.
"Qingmeng!" King Chang shouted to Lu Qingmeng affectionately, she turned her back and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, as if she had expected her plan to succeed in the morning.
But when he turned his head to face King Chang, the gloom of his face had already changed to the cute appearance of his usual life.
Lu Qingmeng immediately leaned down towards the other party, and saluted obediently and sensibly: "Qingmeng sees His Highness, it is Qingmeng's presumptuous to disturb His Highness Qingxiu late at night, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”
King Chang was indeed full of anger, but in the face of Lu Qingmeng's pitiful face, what man would be willing to be angry with her?
Seeing this, King Chang stepped forward to help Lu Qingmeng up without saying a word, and looked at her with a squinting face: "What did Sister Qingmeng say, how could this king be willing to blame you?" It's too late for the king to be happy to see you! ”
King Chang said while moving his hands and feet to Lu Qingmeng, only to see him reach out and touch Lu Qingmeng's blown-up face, and said to her with pity in his eyes: "I haven't seen her for a few days, and Qingmeng's sister has lost weight." ”
Lu Qingmeng's subconscious dodge, but in the eyes of King Chang, it was like half-pushing and half-pushing.
I saw her smile at King Chang with a foxy face, and then spoke:
"Qingmeng came to find His Highness tonight to inform His Highness about important matters, if it is convenient for His Highness, I wonder if Qingmeng can be allowed to enter the house and talk carefully?"
Entering the house? King Chang wished, before Lu Qingmeng spoke, he was probably racking his brains to think about how to trick her into the house, and now that she took the initiative to send her to the door, he naturally would not refuse.
King Chang nodded in agreement without saying a word, and then pretended to be polite and welcomed Lu Qingmeng into his room.
Lu Qingmeng entered the door first, and King Chang followed, sending people down, and then closed the door tightly.
Hearing the moment the door closed, Lu Qingmeng couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart, but she had already been mentally prepared before she came here, so the fright was only temporary, and she was soon calmed down again.
King Chang followed behind Lu Qingmeng, getting closer and closer to her, sniffing her fragrant hair with an indulgent expression.
Lu Qingmeng could feel it, and then subconsciously dodged it, but he didn't first entrust it to King Chang Daoming Li Ce, but lied with an aggrieved face-
"Your Highness almost won't see Qingmeng." When Lu Qingmeng said this, he was pitiful, and he almost burst into tears.
King Chang's eyes were full of distress, and he hurriedly asked her, "Why did Sister Qingmeng say this?" ”
It's okay not to ask, but as soon as he asked, Lu Qingmeng called a pear blossom with rain, and hurriedly cried to King Chang: "Your Highness, do you remember that the Lu family branch has a daughter named Lu Jiaojiao?" ”
King Chang thought hard for a while, then shook his head: "Who is that?" This king has never heard of it. ”
This kind of reaction even Lu Qingmeng couldn't help but feel worthless for Lu Jiaojiao, she took great pains to climb King Chang's bed, but now her innocence is gone, but she failed to leave a slight impression in people's minds, which is really ridiculous to think about.
Seeing that King Chang no longer remembered Lu Jiaojiao, Lu Qingmeng simply stopped reminding him of anything, and instead complained to himself:
"That Lu Jiaojiao has admired His Royal Highness for a long time, and this time she went back to the house to trouble me for no reason, saying that I seduced Your Highness, if someone hadn't stopped me in time, I am afraid that I would have been killed by their family long ago."
The more Lu Qingmeng spoke, the more he couldn't control the tears that slipped down his face like pearls with broken threads, which made King Chang feel distressed and angry.
King Chang suddenly took the case: "Where did this demon girl come from, she dared to touch my sister Qingmeng, this king is impatient to see that their family is alive." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qingmeng's lowered face couldn't help but show a smug smile.
Previously, Lu Qingmeng went back and forth between the two factions of the Lu family, and during this time, he was also bullied by those unreasonable people in the Shu branch.
It's just that at that time, Lu Xilong was still able to use Cui's as a bargaining chip to play a certain role in restraining Lu Xuan, so Lu Qingmeng had no choice but to endure the humiliation and keep them.
Now that Lu Xuan is rising higher and higher, and with Gu Huanli and Shen Xixu, two big names to protect her at all times, Lu Xilong is no longer enough to pose any threat to her.
In other words, the cadres of the Shu branch have long been of no use value to Lu Qingmeng.
Originally, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, Lu Qingmeng can turn a blind eye and let the Shu branch continue to stumble Lu Xuan.
But this time, Lu Jiaojiao actually found trouble to find her Lu Qingmeng's head, and recently even secretly sent people to follow her in order to catch her handle, so that her contact with Li Ce was quite limited.
If you continue to let it go like this, I am afraid that before the Shu branch overthrows the Yan branch, Lu Qingmeng, an outsider, will be expelled first.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Qingmeng took the initiative to ask Ying to come to Changwang's Mansion to tell Lu Jiaojiao about this situation in front of Li Ce.
Originally, Lu Qingmeng was still thinking about the past friendship between Lu Jiaojiao and King Chang, and was worried about whether his trip was in vain, but looking at King Chang's appearance of liking the new and hating the old, he had already forgotten about Lu Jiaojiao, which was really in line with her Lu Qingmeng's intentions.
Seeing that King Chang put his old friends aside and always defended himself, Lu Qingmeng knew that his goal had been achieved.
Only then did she turn to Li Ce and tell him what he had entrusted:
"Your Highness, don't be angry, Qingmeng's trip originally had more important things, but I had no choice but to see His Highness's uncontrollable feelings, so I said so many family matters, and I hope Your Highness doesn't feel bothered by Qingmeng."
Hearing this, King Chang hurriedly shook his head: "What did Sister Qingmeng say about this?" It's too late for this king to be angry for you, so where will he blame you? Say whatever you want, and as for those who bully you, this king will naturally make them look good. ”
Only then did Lu Qingmeng speak: "Actually, Qingmeng's trip was entrusted by Lord Li, and His Royal Highness's raising of soldiers and horses in the eastern suburbs seems to have been noticed by His Royal Highness the Fierce King. ”
Hearing this, King Chang just looked like he was bold, and he threw himself on Lu Qingmeng, but at this time, he was terrified.
