Chapter 42: The Queen's Throne
When Gonggong Zhou heard this, he just lowered his eyes and smiled on the side, but did not speak.
Hearing this, Lou Qi hesitated slightly. Then he thought about it, straightened up and said: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and Mu Rong is injured in the paddock, how can he bother him, and the current residence is also excellent." ”
As he spoke, Lou Qi casually glanced at Emperor Nanyue's waist, and after only a moment, he looked away without showing a trace.
Seeing that Lou Qi deliberately avoided Shicai's words, Emperor Nanyue's eyes couldn't help but darken when he looked at Lou Qi. This woman is a delicate mind and a master who is not easy to handle.
"That's it! I just mentioned it casually. Emperor Nanyue picked up the tea, blew the floating tea leaves, and said.
Taking a sip, Emperor Nanyue put down the teacup and looked at Gonggong Zhou, who was standing on the side, "Go and give the jade Ruyi and the two newly paid tribute silks to the county lord!" ”
"Yes!" After Gonggong Zhou responded softly, he walked to Lou Qi's side and said with a smile: "Then please ask this girl from the county lord's side to go with the old slave!" ”
Ah Qin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lou Qi with low eyes. Seeing that Lou Qi nodded slightly, he blessed his father-in-law Zhou, "There is Father-in-law Lao!" ”
Subsequently, Ah Qin left Yongshuzhai with Zhou Gonggong.
At this time, Lou Qi slowly stood up and bowed down to thank him, "Mu Rong thanks the emperor for his reward." The moment he lowered his head, Lou Qi hooked the corners of his mouth.
Emperor Nanyue got up and came to Lou Qi, looking at the peerless face that he couldn't hide even with his head down, and a different emotion flashed in his eyes.
How could such a captivating beauty let him get the king! Thinking about it, Emperor Nanyue stretched out his hand to help Lou Qi up.
Lou Qi raised his head and looked coldly at the hands that had not been withdrawn for a long time while holding him.
At such a close distance, Emperor Nanyue naturally saw Lou Qi's expression, but he just pretended not to care.
"Lord Murong has been coming to South Vietnam for a few days. Since there is no one you like for a long time, it is better to be my queen! As he spoke, the Nanyue Emperor moved closer to Lou Qi.
Lou Qi lowered his head and his eyes were cold! This is an opportunity, a chance that can put Gong Zehong to his death. Thinking about it, Lou Qi gently turned the inconspicuous ring on his finger.
There are two poisonous needles hidden in the ring, which are poisonous enough to kill an elephant, and it is more than enough to deal with Gong Zehong!
Just as Lou Qi was about to make a move, his brother's face flashed in his mind. Yes, I still have a brother to save! If you do it at this time, you will definitely not be able to leave this palace, what will my brother do when the time comes?
Lou Qi struggled inwardly, gritted his teeth, and endured the hatred in his heart. turned the ring mechanism on his finger back, and then pushed away Emperor Nanyue, revealing a panicked look, "The emperor said that he was laughing, how dare Mu Rong be delusional if he knows his identity!" ”
Seeing that he was pushed away by the other party, Emperor Nanyue frowned, and his voice became a little cold, "You know, what woman in this world doesn't want to be the queen of the world,
Why is the county lord of Murong arrogant! You deserve to be the master of this harem. ”
"The emperor's words are wrong, Mu Rong is not included among the women in this world! Mu Rong came to South Vietnam to make peace, just to find a man who said he liked and liked to spend the rest of his life with! Mu Rong can't be the queen, and she doesn't want to be it, so please ask the emperor to choose someone else! ”
Lou Qi's attitude was awe-inspiring, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this, Emperor Nanyue snorted coldly. "If you can't do it, you have to give it to me!"
After speaking, he rushed forward and wanted to forcibly hug Lou Qi. Lou Qi had already taken precautions, and easily dodged to his side, and the Emperor of Nanyue pounced.
This time, it completely angered the Nanyue Emperor, "Is the county lord of Murong really not afraid that I will announce a decree to the world?" ”
Hearing this, Lou Qi slammed the tea set on the table next to him to the ground, picked up a piece of broken piece and put it on his neck, and said in a deep voice: "That Mu Rong died here!" It's just that Rong Murong reminded the emperor, what would happen if the news of Mu Rong's death reached Dongli? Please ask the emperor to consider it more! ”
Facing Lou Qi's naked death and coercion. Emperor Nanyue clasped his hands tightly and was furious, "You...... Good, good. I hope you've been threatening! Hmph......"
After speaking, the Emperor of Nanyue angrily brushed his sleeves away.
Lou Qi threw down the pieces in his hand, his face was gloomy, Gong Zehong, next time my Lou Qi will let you not survive, you can't die!
In the middle of the ring, Ah Qin, who came in, saw the broken tea set on the ground and realized that something must have happened. Hurriedly dropped the things in his hand, and quickly stepped forward to support Lou Qi's arm, "Lord, are you okay?" ”
Lou Qi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "It's okay!" Let's go. ”
Ah Qin frowned, and saw that the Lord didn't want to say more, so he had to give up.
Subsequently, the two left the palace and returned to the Seven Gardens.
Qianqian anxiously paced back and forth in the courtyard, looking at the gate from time to time.
As soon as Lou Qi stepped into the house, he saw a shallow look of anxiety, "Shallow!" ”
Hearing the voice, he looked up shallowly, and saw that his master was safe and sound, and a lot of stones in his heart were also given.
Lou Qi walked up to Qianqian and wondered, "But what's wrong?" ”
"No, it's just that there is news that the Emperor of Nanyue has invited you, so I'm a little worried!"
As he spoke, he saw Ah Qin on the side frowning at him, and immediately thought of what might have happened!
Lou Qi sat in the rocking chair and closed his eyes with a tired face, "It's okay!" ”
Ah Qin on the side pulled the corners of his shallow clothes and said to the shallow ear.
After listening to it, his face was solemn! Presumably, the Emperor of Nanyue wanted to take this opportunity to win over the Lord into his person!
"Boss Qianqian, I'll go make a bowl of lotus seed soup for the Lord." Ah Qin whispered to the shallow.
Shallow chin said: "Go!" I'm hungry after tossing for so long. ”
Then, Qianqian entered the house and took a blanket to cover Lou Qi. Looking at Lou Qi, who was full of exhaustion, he hesitated slightly, opened his mouth, and still couldn't bear to disturb.
"Say it!"
Shallow was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said in a low voice: "The identity of the concubine has been confirmed, and it is indeed the fine work of Mu Ying, the regent of the north, in South Vietnam." ”
Lou Qi opened his eyes suddenly. Although I had thought that it would be Mu Ying, the regent of the Northern Territory, I couldn't help but be shocked when I said it from a shallow mouth.
"Is this Mu Ying trying his best just for a piece of jade pendant?" Lou Qi lowered his eyes and muttered.
Qianqian was also very puzzled, "The Mu clan in the north has never heard of anything to do with the Nanyue royal family!" ”
Royal house?!
That's right, King Jin.
Lou Qi sat up fiercely, "Go, send someone to check the relationship between King Jin and Mu Ying!" ”
Before, he remembered what he said before, but he didn't continue to think about it before he determined the identity of the concubine.
"King Jin? The Lord is skeptical......"
Shallow was a little surprised, could it be that the lord doubted the identity of King Jin?
"Baili disappeared in the north for no reason before, and the reason was that one of Mu Ying's sons looked very similar to the King of Jin, which can't help but make me doubt the relationship between the King of Jin and Mu Ying!"
Lou Qi stood up, and then said: "The jade pendant was given to me by my father, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for anyone to know. And now, Mu Ying and the Emperor of Nanyue are all looking for this thing, presumably this jade pendant must be related to the life experience of the King of Jin and the rivers and mountains of Nanyue! ”
Lou Qi's words set off a wild wave in Qianqian's heart, and the situation became more and more complicated! I never thought that a piece of jade pendant would involve so much.
