I didn't expect Luo Qingluan to be so straightforward, Xiao Yuqi didn't hide it anymore, and smiled bitterly: "Not bad!" This time, the King of Chu came to Dongwan for the death of his master, although I should not ask the Princess of Chu to intervene in this matter, but I hope you will think about it more and persuade the King of Chu. ”

Looking at Luo Qingluan's expression all the time, he was very worried that she would refuse directly. This matter is too important, so important that the survival of countless lives, the rise and fall of the two countries, even he can't help but get nervous.

"What does Prince Xiao mean, do you want me to be a lobbyist?" Luo Qingluan raised his gaze lightly and said lightly: "Do you think it's useful?" ”

"Nalan Ye's character, it's not useful to persuade anyone, if anyone can change his decision, does Prince Xiao think he will still be the current Nalan Ye? If it's a trivial matter, I might be able to try, but now it's a matter of two lives, and the teacher's kindness is more important than the mountain, so I can only respect Nalan Ye's decision and not do anything to make him embarrassed. ”

"But ......"

Even at such an important moment, Xiao Yuqi was also personable and smiling: "It is natural for the King of Chu to avenge his master, but in order to protect the imperial grandmother and his own concubines, my father and the emperor are also the unshirkable responsibilities of the emperor and a son, and Princess Chu should also understand this." ”

"If neither side backs down, the outcome is already predictable. There is only one way left for Western Chu and Dongwan to start a war, once the army is assembled, not only will the friendship between the two countries be damaged and shattered, but it will also cause the lives to be destroyed and the people will be displaced, could this be what the king of Chu wants to see? For his own selfishness, he disregarded tens of millions of people, so when the king of Chu defended his family and defended the country and North Vietnam fought a war, wouldn't it seem ridiculous again? ”

Luo Qingluan's face was indifferent, but his tone was firm but soft: "This time, that time, the two should not be confused. ”

It was his duty and obligation to lead his troops out at night to protect Western Chu from the invasion of North Vietnam. He had the ability to save the people of Western Chu from the flames of war and slavery, even if it caused casualties among the North Vietnamese, it was normal, this is the cruelty of war.

But the teacher's grace is more important than the mountain, Nalan Ye will not be afraid, if Emperor Dongwan insists on this, and even does not hesitate to go to war, the consequences will naturally not be counted on Nalan Ye's head, it can only be said that Dongwan suffered by himself.

"However, I can promise you for the sake of Prince Xiao that the cold jade silkworm was sent, as long as Dongwan does not take the initiative to raise troops, I can guarantee that Nalan Ye will not take the initiative to invade. In addition, Prince Xiao went back to persuade him, one person does things and one person is responsible, since he dares to do it, don't be afraid to bear the consequences. Luo Qingluan said lightly.

Sure enough, the negotiation failed, and Xiao Yuqi's heart was heavy.

Before he came, he predicted that Luo Qingluan would not interfere, and now it is true. She won't look at the personal relationship between the two and help persuade Nalan Ye, such a character and maintenance, no wonder Nalan Ye treats her so sincerely, it's not unreasonable.

"Is there really only one way?"

Xiao Yuqi was not too desperate yet, and wanted to make one last effort, "Princess Chu, can you understand the feelings of King Chu to avenge his master, can't you also understand my father's thoughts in order to protect the emperor's grandmother?" If the king of a country really only cares about fairness and justice, and does not care about his mother's life and death, then how can I consider my father's face and dignity, as well as benevolence and filial piety? ”

"We, Dongwan, are willing to pay any material price and ask the King of Chu to make a big deal small. Since people can't be resurrected after death, then why should he be persistent, even if he really killed my imperial grandmother and Li Guifei, can his master come back to life? ”

"What does Prince Xiao mean is that I can also pay compensation after killing someone for my own death? Anyway, people are dead, and no matter how much compensation is made, they can't be resurrected, so there is no need for me to pay for my life? ”

Luo Qingluan sneered: "This is too ridiculous, since this is the case, there is nothing to say." Bother Prince Xiao to go back, and the cold jade silkworm you sent also brought back, and the province is short of manpower. ”

Seeing that Luo Qingluan was angry, Xiao Yuqi hurriedly apologized and smiled bitterly: "Princess Chu, don't be angry, I didn't mean that." It's just that if you care, you will be chaotic, and you will not pay attention when you speak. After all, no one wants this to happen, everyone knows the severity of the consequences, and Princess Chu doesn't really want to see the lives of the two countries ruined, right? ”

"If it weren't for the greed of Doctor Leng at the beginning, the Han Jade Silkworm who coveted my royal family, and the threat of poisoning my imperial grandmother, it would not have caused the rest of the incident to happen. Princess Chu, can I say a fair word, this incident is actually caused by the master of King Chu? ”

"What? Greedy, self-inflicted? ”

As soon as Luo Qingluan heard this, something was wrong, "Why did Xiao Tianci say this, where did you know about this?" ”

Nalan Ye's master is definitely not such a person, and the results of her investigation, which were said by Li Guifei herself, how did she get into Xiao Yuqi's mouth and become a different picture?

Looking at Luo Qingluan's face, Xiao Yuqi also noticed something: "Isn't it?" This is what my father told me, and what the emperor's mother said was that when Dr. Leng entered the palace to treat the emperor's grandmother, in fact, he wanted to ask for the cold jade silkworm from the beginning......"

said what Emperor Dongwan promised, as long as anyone who can cure the Queen Mother, he can agree to him on a condition, so Leng Ting took advantage of this to ask for the royal family's treasure Han Jade Silkworm. In particular, he was afraid that he would not succeed, so he threatened the Queen Mother with his hands and feet, and told Luo Qingluan in detail.

"If it weren't for this, my father would not have hesitated at the beginning, but Chrysostom finally broke his promise, in fact, it was because Doctor Leng threatened my imperial grandmother that it caused my father's dissatisfaction and acquiesced in the hunt."

Listening to Xiao Yuqi's words, Luo Qingluan sneered and was silent, the truth she learned from Li Guifei's mouth was not like this at all.

It seems that it should be Empress Dowager Sun who deliberately took the responsibility in order to hide the secret of this palace, and even Emperor Dongwan concealed it. If it weren't for the fact that she learned the inside story and the truth from Concubine Li Guifei, I was afraid that she would still think that Emperor Dongwan deliberately slandered Leng Ting, which would make Nalan Ye angry.

"What, what did Princess Feichu remember?" Xiao Yuqi looked at her thoughtful and asked.

"I did think of something, but now it seems that there are still many things that Prince Xiao and His Majesty Dongwan don't understand, so you better go back and ask your Empress Dowager Sun! Especially Li Guifei, she should know best who caused this incident. ”

There was a dark and unclear meaning in Luo Qingluan's eyes, and she guessed that once Emperor Dongwan found out, she was afraid that it would not be his current attitude, and what the consequences of this secret about the Dongwan royal family would be, it might be really difficult to predict.

Seeing that Luo Qingluan didn't say anything, Xiao Yuqi frowned, why did he mention Li Guifei?

Could it be that there is something wrong with what his imperial grandmother said, but in fact, this matter is related to Concubine Li?

Xiao Yuqi also knows the relationship between Li Guifei and the Queen Mother, and it is not impossible if the Queen Mother will really hide something for Li Guifei. But this matter must be very important, otherwise the Queen Mother will not know the seriousness of the matter and still bear it.

In vain, Xiao Yuqi did not take the Hanyu silkworm with him when he left.

He will definitely not take back what he gave to Luo Qingluan, although Luo Qingluan said that he would not dissuade the King of Chu, but as long as she promised that she would not let the King of Chu take the initiative to send troops, this would eliminate the biggest problem. Now that he wants to go back and find out the truth, maybe his father's mind will change.

This matter now falls on the word truth.

Xiao Yuqi believes that there must be something he doesn't know.

……

In Qixia Palace, Emperor Dongwan had a gloomy face and glared at Concubine Li Guifei angrily.

Although she had just recovered from a serious illness, Concubine Li Guifei couldn't care about the coldness on the ground, and knelt directly in front of Emperor Dongwan, looking pitiful: "Does Your Majesty really think that the concubine has done something bad, so she asks like this?" ”

Tears flowed down, and she bit her lower lip and complained: "Yes, the concubine shouldn't have done anything to Doctor Leng in the first place, and she shouldn't have sent someone to hunt him down, but he did something like that, how could the concubine endure it?" The Queen Mother was seriously ill, and the concubines saw that Her Majesty was worried and worried, and searched for famous doctors everywhere, which shows Your Majesty's filial piety to the Queen Mother. The concubine knew that Dr. Leng had done such a trick to the Queen Mother, and she was resentful, so she did it. ”

"It's just, a thousand shouldn't, a thousand shouldn't...... I didn't expect him to be the master of King Chu! ”

As she spoke, Concubine Li Guifei was already in tears, knocked down heavily, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, everything is the fault of the concubine, and it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother." Since the king of Chu is unwilling to give up, please ask Your Majesty to hand over the concubines! As long as he can do this, even if the concubine dies at the hands of the king of Chu, she is willing......"

"You really didn't do anything?" Emperor Dongwan said word by word.

"The concubine dared to swear to the sky, and she definitely didn't do anything in secret, she just sent a few people to do it first."

With a look of grievance and pity, Concubine Li's eyes were red, as if she remembered something, and she bit her lower lip: "And Your Majesty doesn't know, although the concubine is unhappy for the Queen Mother, so she wants to kill Doctor Leng, but in fact, when Doctor Leng checked the pulse of the concubine, he also used to ...... He used to ...... his concubines"

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and Emperor Dongwan grabbed Li Guifei's wrist and said angrily: "What did he do to you?" Say!

He ...... He's nothing, it's just ...... It is...... took the opportunity to slighten the concubine and said something offensive. The concubine thought that Dr. Leng had cured the Queen Mother and was kind to His Majesty, how could she dare to speak out about this matter and cause His Majesty to be unhappy? ”

Concubine Li Guifei lowered her head and said while crying: "Even if the concubine says it, he won't admit it, in this case, the concubine might as well hide this matter in her heart and swallow her anger......

The doubts in his eyes disappeared little by little, replaced by endless anger and grievance, Emperor Dongwan clenched his fists, and there seemed to be anger erupting from the dragon's eyes, but he had to restrain himself and gritted his teeth.

"Bastard! Nalan Night ...... Nalan Night! Sure enough, there are teachers and disciples, all of whom are the same bold! Emperor Dongwan's face was pale and trembling.

No one has ever dared to persecute him like this, only Nalan Ye, only he has the guts!

The emperor of Dongwan will one day be reduced to this point, and he can't even keep his mother and concubines, what's the use of him being this emperor? If he bows his head to Nalan Ye, it is Dongwan who bows his head to Xichu, and he will never allow such a loss of power and humiliation of the country!

"Get up......"

After a long time, Emperor Dongwan finally decided something, and spoke indifferently.

Concubine Li Guifei was overjoyed, and slowly got up, the tears on her face that had not been wiped away were like peonies after the rain, delicate and moving: "Your Majesty...... Don't blame the concubines? But the king of Chu is there...... And what to do? ”

Moving over step by step, Concubine Li snuggled at the feet of Emperor Dongwan, like the most docile cat, gently clinging to his thigh, "However, no matter what Your Majesty decides, the concubine will support Your Majesty." If the blood of the concubine is needed to appease the anger of the king of Chu, as long as His Majesty says a word, the concubine will never complain. ”

Every word rang in Emperor Dongwan's heart like a bell.

On the one hand, there is unconditional surrender, obeying his orders, and giving his life to him, and on the other hand, there is uncompromising persecution, aggressiveness, asking him to disregard his dignity and face...... With such a completely different contrast, the balance in Emperor Dongwan's heart tilted a little bit.
