Chapter 160: Three Mysterious Words
He sighed slightly, then picked up the cup again, just about to do it all over againβ
Helian Lin only remembered the purpose of his coming, and he was stunned when he watched Ji Ruoli's action of making tea just now, and then Xiao Yunye gave him a burst of chestnuts before he eased up, and quickly interrupted Ji Ruoli's movements with a loud exhalation: "Cousin, don't teach her yet, we have something to report to you now......"
Ji Ruoli put down the cup, his face expressionless, but Helian Lin knew that he was very unhappy with his interruption, so he swallowed his saliva and strengthened his courage.
"Say." He raised his emotionless eyes and looked at him coldly.
Helian Lin looked at Chu Lingshu and was a little embarrassed.
Chu Lingshu still met with this little look, she nodded, and was just about to leave, when Ji Ruoli opened her mouth flutteringly: "Stop." β
She stopped in an instant.
Helian Lin frowned: "Your Highness......"
Ji Ruoli didn't seem to like his grinding very much, so he repeated it, and his tone didn't change: "Just say it." β
Helian Lin knew that it was useless for him to say anything now, so he nodded and trembled: "Cousin, Xiao Yunye and I came this time to ask if you will go to the birthday banquet of Old Lady Shangguan?" β
"No, no." He didn't want to refuse directly.
Xiao Yunye saw that Helian Lin's head was too big, so he said for him: "The Shangguan family is now also a powerful minister, and the military power is in his hands, Your Majesty wants you to take this opportunity to reduce the strength of the Shangguan family by the way." β
Ji Ruoli sneered: "What is the Shangguan family?" Is the face so big? β
The people in the entire imperial capital know that Ji Ruoli is notoriously unpopular, no matter what the banquet is, he never attends it, no one gives face, he doesn't even go to the birthday banquet of the emperor Laozi, let alone the birthday of a woman from the Shangguan family.
Helian Lin gritted his teeth, "Cousin, this is His Majesty's order. β
Ji Ruoli raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty's order?" Why didn't it be Mu Ling who came to inform the main hall, but the two of you? β
Xiao Yunye replied casually: "Your Majesty expected that you would not agree, so he sent us to persuade you." β
Helian Lin nodded in agreement: "That's right." β
"Be smart." Ji Ruoli's beautiful face hooked a cruel and mocking smile, "Did he think it would be useful to call you over?" β
Helian Lin and Xiao Yunye dutifully acted in front of their invisible people, and when they heard Ji Ruoli say that the emperor was smart, the corners of their eyes twitched obviously, and they opened one eye and closed one eye, but their mouths were closed tighter.
In this case, it is better not to speak, and Chu Lingshu also tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.
Looking at this, there is probably only Ji Ruoli in the saint today, right?
"." Seeing that they were all quietly lowering their eyes, he lowered his sense of presence and unceremoniously gave the order to evict them.
Helian Lin reacted suddenly, began to wail, and almost jumped up to hug Ji Ruoli on his thigh, but he avoided it: "Don't! Cousin, don't drive me away, if Your Majesty knows that I didn't succeed, I'll die!" I'm only fourteen years old, and I'm in the prime of my life, and I don't want to die! Cousin, everyone has a responsibility to protect the seedlings of the motherland, you must not bear to see your own cousin being ruthlessly destroyed! β
Xiao Yunye: "......" idiot......
Ji Ruoli: "......"
Chu Lingshu: "......" seedlings of the motherland?
Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should continue to destroy......
