Even if she doesn't agree, she has to agree, this centipede is what she just put down herself. If she harmed the lives of countless people below because of this centipede, then she would become a sinner through the ages, and she would have to get the man in front of her to agree to her request no matter what.

Li Shaoyuan's eyebrows furrowed, looking at the gaze cast by the woman below, he suddenly smiled.

How could he not know, who is the initiator of this matter, the two women below saw the centipede and hid for thousands of miles, not to mention the people who cleaned up behind, but if he didn't do it harshly, how could he arouse the hatred of the women below?

In an instant, he shifted his gaze to the princess.

"I think this method seems to be a little inappropriate, there are not one or two maids in Princess Qing's backyard, if it is ten thousand taels of gold that can buy the lives of these people, is it a little too cheap?"

The princess listened in a fog, but she didn't dare to refute it, so she had to nod.

"What the emperor said is that I also ask Miss Chu not to worry about our affairs, everything is not good for us, we will listen to it."

At this moment, Chu Lan felt uncomfortable, and she made a face at the man on the dragon chair, but the man didn't even look at her.

It's too bad now, she's going to be a sinner for the ages

Seeing Chu Lan lowering his head, Li Shaoyuan hurriedly said: "But what Doctor Chu said also has a certain amount of truth, and it is not impossible for me to release him, but this is to ask Princess Qing, are you willing to let those maids go unpunished?" ”

"Naturally, she was willing, and in order to maintain her image of a virtuous and virtuous lady, she had to say so."

"Okay, come on, bring Hongjuan in, and knock down the twenty boards in front of everyone."

In an instant, a large number of people rushed out of the door, and in a few moments the posture was set up.

Seeing that the wooden sticks were slammed on Hong Juan's body, Princess Qing's face was extremely bad, her eyes were red, she bit her lip and clenched her hands, resisting the urge to rush forward and tear Chu Lan apart.

"Help, the emperor spares his life!" The pain was overwhelming, no matter how capable Hongjuan was, she was just a weak woman, the board hit her body, the skin was open, and she couldn't help but scream hysterically.

The screams hit Princess Qing's heart again and again, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

Chu Lan's face became deeper and darker, and he could only look at this scene and gently skimmed his head.

She never thought that this Li Shaoyuan would be so resolute in doing things, didn't she just tell Princess Qing that all the things that happened to Hongjuan today were caused by herself? What exactly is Li Shaoyuan going to do here?

Before he could think about it, the board was already finished.

"What is this doing?" Just as the guards brought the dying Hongjuan down, Dou Hongyi was late.

When he just came to the banquet, he received an order from Li Shaoyuan to discuss the barbarian matter with other generals, so he was late, but he didn't expect to see such a miserable scene when he came in, and suddenly he had a kind of Erzhang monk who couldn't figure out his head.

When the people below saw the prince coming, they lowered their heads one after another, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves, afraid that if they said one more word, they would not be able to please both sides.

"It's nothing, it's just that this little slave lost a bet with Miss Chu, this is his punishment, since you are already here, let's start the banquet."

Looking at Li Shaoyuan's calm face, although Dou Hongyi still had some doubts in his heart, he still suppressed the curiosity in his heart and sat in his place.

At the beginning of the banquet, I have to say that if you don't count what happened before, this banquet is still quite perfect, silk and bamboo wind music, piano calligraphy and painting, all of which are vividly displayed in this banquet.

At this time, Chu Lan deeply felt the magic of this ancient entertainment.

But Princess Qing, who was on the side, wanted to put this performance in her eyes at all, she was thinking about the beating of Hongjuan just now, and she was indignant in her heart.

Seeing that her image had been damaged, she hurriedly wanted to redeem it.

"Although these programs are wonderful, they are inevitably a little too popular, I have learned a dance outside before, called drum dance, if the emperor is interested, can you let me show it?"

Li Shaoyuan's eyes sank, and he seemed to think about it for a while, and then immediately spoke.

"It's okay, since Princess Qing has such a heart, then let's go."

"But Your Majesty, dancing the drum dance in this hall is too restrained, why don't we go to the lake, so that we can show the charm of this dance."

Everyone was curious for a while, even Chu Lan had an expression that wanted to see it, Li Shaoyuan looked at Princess Qing's confident appearance, and he immediately nodded.

In the blink of an eye, everyone, everyone moved to the lake, and the lake was already fully prepared at this moment.

The huge red drum stood in the middle of the pond, the dazzling red color contrasted sharply with the green mountains behind him, which had not yet put people on it, and there was already a sense of grandeur in the ocean.

"The so-called drum dance, that is the dance on this giant bone, I deliberately put it on the lake, in order to let you enjoy it, but this drum face is so big, I am the only one afraid that it is too monotonous, please ask the emperor to give permission, let Miss Chu go up with me."

What the? In an instant, Chu Lan's eyes tightened, and his entire face was full of disbelief. The two of them had a conflict just now, and now if you listen to her, won't you push yourself into the fire?

Dou Hongyi, who was on the side, listened, his brows furrowed slightly, the princess's personality, he knew better than anyone else, she was afraid that she had already remembered the scene just now, and now that she is making this scene, I am afraid that Chu Lan alone will not be able to parry.

"Princess, it's not good for you to do this, this dance is something you learned specially, you go up alone, it's enough, calling Doctor Chu so abruptly, I'm afraid it will make Doctor Chu embarrassed." Dou Hongyi said lightly, but his deep eyes were full of warnings.

"Yes, yes, the prince is right." has a backer, Chu Lan doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and goes out, "This dance, but body language, I'm a big and three rough person, dancing, I'm afraid it's too difficult for me, stick to Princess Qing, I don't have this face." ”

Chu Lan's words were both compliments and self-suspicion, and in just a few words, Princess Qing had no words to refute at all.

"I don't think so." Seeing that he was about to escape and ascend to heaven, suddenly the voice as cold as an ice fountain pierced through his ears, and suddenly Chu Lan's brows tightened.

"In my 10,000 yuan, girls have learned to dance since childhood. Doctor Chu is also a figure with a head and a face, it is impossible that he can't even dance. ”

"But I don't know how to drum ......"

"The drum dance, said to be a dance on the drum, but it is also ever-changing, I believe that Dr. Chu will definitely give us a wonderful performance, don't you say?"

Li Shaoyuan was like a roundworm in Chu Lan's stomach, blocking everything she wanted to say.

"Yes, yes, Doctor Chu, you can go, you see that all of us are waiting for you, if you don't go, isn't it the face of Emperor Bo?" Seeing this, Dequan hurriedly fanned the flames. Although Chu Lan said that he had no desire and no desire, he could see that the emperor's idea was that he could help the emperor, that is, to help himself, so he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

"yes, what a rare opportunity."

"yes, yes, you better go."

As soon as Dequan finished speaking, all the people below flattered him, one by one, for fear that he would be unsociable if he said a word less.

"But ......" Chu Lan subconsciously set his eyes on Li Shaoyuan, after all, it was his status here.

But Li Shaoyuan just smiled, and a hint of banter flashed in his deep pupils, and he looked proud, as if he wanted Chu Lan to beg him.

With the imperial power pressed down and the instigation of the ministers, Chu Lan suddenly felt that he was riding a tiger. She silently threw the last shred of hope on Dou Hongyi.

The moment his gaze shifted, he was looked at by Li Shaoyuan clearly.

"Could it be that Dr. Chu is still going to resist the decree now?" Li Shaoyuan, who was still high-minded just now, suddenly darkened his dark eyes, and as soon as the cold words came out, the people below shivered.

"Hop hop, why don't you jump." There was no way, Chu Lan had no choice but to compromise, after all, a companion is like a tiger.

Seeing this, a trace of cunning flashed in Princess Qing's eyes.

The boat approached smoothly and smoothly took Chu Lan and Princess Qing to the giant drum. Princess Qing was as light as a swallow, and she stood on the giant drum without a little external force.

At this moment, Chu Lan noticed Princess Qing's dress, and she really came prepared.

A long embroidered skirt vividly reflects the entire concave and convex figure, and the bright red color not only sets off her skin like snow, but also looks a little red in the whole scene.

Chu Lan watched from the side, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Doctor Chu, it's all at this time, do you still want to regret it?" Princess Qing looked at the people on the boat and stretched out her hand, and there was a hint of banter in her starry eyes.

"I don't need to be reminded by Princess Qing, they are all people who have gotten on the thief ship, will I still escape?" slapped Princess Qing's Qianqian jade finger away, Chu Lan grabbed the rope on the drum and climbed up.

But I really don't know if I don't climb, I was startled when I climbed, and suddenly Chu Lan felt how different she was from Princess Qing.

Holding the rope, she only felt that her legs were trembling, and finally climbed on the drum, as if she was tempting, she symbolically took a step forward, but what she never expected was that the drum not only did not shake, but also calmly.

She subconsciously looked under the drum, only to see one after another floating heads, and suddenly Chu Lan suddenly realized.

This woman really only wants to grandstand, what drum noodle dance should be held on the lake, it depends on his sense of balance and rhythm, but in fact, there are many people hiding under this drum to maintain balance, even if she wants to stand unsteadily, it is impossible. And Princess Qing called herself in such a hurry, I'm afraid she had another purpose.

"Why, were you scared just when you stood up? I don't know how cold you will be like this, how much others are looking forward to you, okay, he is full of joy and wants to watch you perform, you don't want to grind and chirp here, spoil their interest, if the emperor blames it, you can't escape even if you want to. ”
