Chapter 570: Alliance
Seeing Lu Li's unhappy appearance, Xiao Man smiled, he didn't expect his husband to be so childish.
And Xiao Man smiled so happily, Lu Li walked into her, hugged her in his arms, and touched her hair.
"What's so funny, aren't you afraid that your husband will be snatched away by others?"
Xiao Manhua fell into Lu Li's arms tremblingly, shaking his head gently.
"I naturally believe you, but Salia is not a bad person, you also heard it just now, she married you to monitor us for the sake of the Western Regions, if we can make Salia form an alliance with us, wouldn't it be one more partner?"
Lu Li looked down at Xiao Man, her mind seemed to be full of all kinds of ideas, which could surprise her every time.
"What did the lady say should be done?"
"Well...... I think it's better to remove the queen's eyeliner Mama Li first. ”
Xiao Man whispered a few words in Lu Li's ear, although Lu Li was reluctant, but he had to admit that this was indeed a good way.
In the evening, Pearl brought a candle flame for Xiao Man, who was reading the account book, and Xiao Man rubbed his temples, looking very tired.
"Madam, don't look at it, let's rest quickly, I don't know when the master will come."
"He's not coming over today, he's going to the princess."
Hearing this, Pearl's hand holding the candle flame trembled, why did the old man go to the princess in a good manner, and there seemed to be no anger on the lady's face.
"Madam, do you want me to call the master back?"
Pearl tested Xiao Man's psychology, but this made Xiao Man unpredictable, as if she didn't care about this matter at all, and her tone was flat.
"No, change my clothes."
Su Xiaoman was not angry, even if Pearl was angry, the eunuch was anxious for the emperor, so he could only pout and change Su Xiaoman's clothes unhappily.
And on Saria's side, Mama Li's face was full of smiles, wrinkles crawled all over her face, and there was joy in the ravines.
I was sent by the queen, and the thing I was most afraid of was that this master couldn't win a man's heart at all, if Lu Li didn't come once, no matter how much he had a plan, it would be in vain, but fortunately, Salia was weak and good-looking, and this Lu Li was also sad to pass the beauty pass.
"Master, the second lady is waiting for you inside."
Lu Li nodded. Seeing the flattering lady in front of him, a look of disgust appeared in his heart, and as soon as he walked in the door, he saw Saraya dressed up.
Since seeing Lu Li's real person, Salia found that he was completely different from what she had in her mind, and she was sulking in her heart, and she didn't want to deal with him at all, otherwise Mama Li forced herself to dress up, and she was not interested at all.
Look at Saria, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt outside, which makes her fair skin appear more translucent, this gauze skirt is as thin as cicada wings, and it can vaguely let people see her body curves, which looks very tempting.
And inside is also a white skirt with a pattern of lotus flowers depicted on it. Of course, Salia didn't like such elegant clothes, she still liked their clothes from the Western Regions.
Seeing Lu Li coming in, Salia came back to her senses, looked at Lu Li, and still didn't speak.
"Princess Saria, I'm your husband now, won't you give me a wide coat?"
Salia glared at Lu Li, stood up and walked directly in front of Lu Li.
"Who's going to give you a wide coat, get out of here. I'm not surprised that you're here. ”
Seeing Saria's attitude, Lu Li was a little relieved, it seemed that Xiaoman did not misunderstand her, and her personality was not pretended.
"I'm coming to you, there are some things I want to make clear to you."
"Say it."
Lu Li knew that Mama Li was mostly eavesdropping at the door now, so he took a small pebble in his hand and launched it directly outside the window, but he didn't expect to hit Mama Li, and there was a shout of ouch and ouch outside.
Seeing that Mama Li had learned such a lesson, Lu Li chuckled, thinking that Mama Li should not dare to stand at the door and eavesdrop anymore.
"Xiaoman and I hope you can be our friend, not our enemy."
Salia raised her eyebrows, she wanted to be her friend, but it was not enough to say that, the emperor of the Central Plains could give her a two-year exemption, and Lu Li could give him what a general could give him.
"Then it's up to you to come up with something that Princess Ben can look up to."
"How about leaving the book?"
Lu Li looked at Saria's face with obvious joy, thinking that this Lu Mansion had indeed disappointed her too much.
"What is this, since I am married to you, I have no intention of parting."
For the sake of the people of the Western Regions, of course, Salia will not show her heart so easily, and she will try her best to hide her inner thoughts.
"I promise, when you find your own happiness, I will definitely let you go, and I will help you take care of the aftermath, and the emperor will definitely not blame you."
When Salia heard this, she always felt a little sour in her heart, she was so beautiful, but she didn't expect Lu Li to really have no interest in herself.
"Why do you think you're not my happiness?"
"I only have one wife in my life."
Saria's face suddenly became a little pale, Daddy obviously told himself that it is normal for a man in the Central Plains to have three wives and four concubines, how can there be only a good man, but it fell into the hands of others.
But thinking that Xiao Man is not bad to himself, it is better to form an alliance with them than to trade with the Central Plains Emperor who is full of intrigues.
"Then how do you want me to help you?"
Lu Li saw that Saria had agreed to the alliance, so he picked up the white handkerchief on her bed, cut his own hand, and dripped blood on it.
"What are you doing?"
Sally is still a virgin, and she doesn't know these etiquettes in the Central Plains, Lu Li, as a man, naturally doesn't dare to explain so much to Salia.
"Don't ask so much, just take this to Mama Li tomorrow."
Saria nodded, seeing that Lu Li had laid a bunk for herself on the ground, meaning to sleep here.
One night, Lu Li was on the ground, Salia was in bed, and the two of them discussed the plan completely, but Salia was already sleepy and bubbling, and her mind was full of scolding the ghosts of the Central Plains people.
"Okay, that's it, do you understand?"
After Lu Li finished speaking, he found that there was no response on the bed for a long time, and he was a little anxious, he said so much that Saria would not listen to a word.
"Salia?"
Lu Li whispered again, and then Salia quickly came back to her senses, wiped her saliva, and hurriedly agreed.
"Well, listen."
"Do you remember everything?"
Saria recalled it, she should have remembered it clearly, she really didn't want to hear Lu Li nagging.
"Lu Li, can you tell me something else, such as how did you and Su Xiaoman meet?"
Lu Li looked at the carvings on the roof, slightly distracted, as if the green mountains and green waters of Taoyuan County appeared in front of him, where there was a girl in a blue cloth dress, standing by the stream and wearing clothes.
"That's a long story, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you about it later."
There was a faint snoring sound from Saria on the bed, Lu Li shook his head, how could a woman in the Central Plains be so unruly, thinking about it, she slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Lu left the early dynasty, and Mama Li was really happy to see the handkerchief, so she hurriedly told the queen the news, and the queen instructed Mama Li to continue to observe the movements of the Lu house.
When Mama Li returned to her room, she saw that Saria's room was filled with all kinds of jewelry and jewelry, and the whole room was illuminated by these objects.
"My princess, where did you get so many good things?"
Saria looked at these things with disdain, she naturally didn't like them, and the things outside her body such as jewelry were not as good as wine and grilled lamb chops.
But for the sake of Lu Li, she still has to play this play for fun.
"These, I heard that they were all given to Lu Li by other adults, anyway, they will definitely not be given to Su Xiaoman, and I can only reluctantly accept them."
When Mama Li heard it, it was given by other adults, isn't this a proper bribe, I knew that now the emperor is investigating corruption is a strict time, Lu Li did this, isn't it directly touching the emperor's mold.
Thinking that the emperor happened to want to rectify Lu Li recently, if he went to spread the news to the palace immediately, wouldn't he be a first-class hero, and when he came, he would also have face in front of the queen.
So while Salia was not paying attention, Mama Li hurriedly called a little maid and went to the palace.
Sure enough, the next day, when Lu Li went to court, the atmosphere above the Jinluan Palace was really very weird, and the civil officials headed by Lord Liu thought that they had heard the news a long time ago, and they looked gloating, and the recital in their hands was full of words to impeach Lu Li.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, full of joy, so Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little cold, he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, but today the emperor was so happy because he caught his handle.
"Something's up!"
Hearing the eunuch's words, Lord Liu hurriedly stood up, the emperor sneered, and soon Lu Li came to a dead end.
"Your Majesty, the corruption and bribery of the officials has not yet been clarified, and since the imperial court has held an assessment vigorously, it is still necessary to give an explanation to the people."
Lord Liu coughed twice, this time it can be regarded as pulling out the matter of corruption and bribery again, although Zhou Xuan is dead, but he has left a good excuse.
"Of course, do you have any thoughts on the investigation of corruption and bribery cases?"
Lu Li knew that Zhou Xuan's plan would not work, and he had already thought of a better monitoring plan, although the emperor was so hostile to him now, for the sake of the people of Dawn, Lu Li still decided to put forward this plan.
