Chapter 308: Li Luoxia's Affair
"What's wrong with Lord Liu?"
"Your Majesty, the minister is fine." Liu Shangshu naturally couldn't let Chu Zhuangyan know what he was thinking, he replied to Chu Zhuangyan very respectfully, so that people couldn't find fault with it.
"Father, according to the ministers, this noon banquet is here! As for the banquet in the evening, Erchen will go to the inn to negotiate with the prince of Nalie again, so as not to have any accidents at the banquet in the evening, we will have no responsibility after today, and we will do what we should greet. Chu Ruoyang knew that Chu Zhuangyan was in a bad mood at this time, so he stepped forward and said his solution.
Chu Zhuangyan nodded and agreed to Chu Ruoyang's proposal, and the ministers also left the hall after learning about it.
"Let's go, too!" Chu Ruoyan said to Li Luobing beside her. Li Luobing almost wanted to applaud when she heard the news, her clothes made her very uncomfortable, and it was a good thing for her to be able to leave the banquet early.
"King Yan, Princess Yan, please stay." As soon as the two of them left the main hall, they were stopped by Chu Ruoyang.
"What else is the matter with King Qin? Don't you want to go home and rest as soon as possible? Chu Ruoyan asked in an unkind tone. He knew that Li Luobing didn't like such an occasion, and he also knew that it would definitely be nothing good for Chu Ruoyang to stop him.
"Naturally, I want to, but before I go back, I still have a few questions I want to ask King Yan and Princess Yan." After Chu Ruoyang finished speaking, his eyes looked back and forth between the two.
Li Luobing was very puzzled, didn't this King of Qin usually target Chu Ruoyi? Why did you target her at this time? Is it because of Li Luoxia's matter? Thinking of Li Luoxia, Li Luobing realized that he hadn't been to see her for a long time, but he knew that she had tossed a few times later, and she had been a lot more honest recently.
"I didn't expect King Qin to ask me something this time." Li Luobing said.
Since Chu Ruoyang said that she had something to ask herself, she also had to take over this question, and she glanced at Chu Ruoyang before she spoke. If he said something wrong for a while, or something happened, then Chu Ruoyao was still by his side.
"Does Princess Yan know this fierce prince of Izumo Province?" Chu Ruoyang opened his mouth to ask not about Li Luoxia, but about Tuoba Lie. But how did he feel that he knew Tuobalie? Is it because of the eyes of yourself a few times?
"King Qin said with a smile, I haven't even been to Izumo Kingdom, how can I have seen that Lie Prince?" Li Luobing shook his head and said.
Chu Ruoyang looked at Li Luobing's expression, she really didn't look like she was lying, but the few times she looked at Tuoba Lie before was also true.
"But I see that Princess Yan has been looking at Prince Lie this morning, if she doesn't know her, why is she so concerned?" Chu Ruoyang obviously didn't believe Li Luobing's words, and kept testing her between words, trying to find the loopholes in her words.
"King Qin, what does this mean? Why have you been questioning the king's concubine? How could Chu Ruoyang endure Chu Ruoyang's temptation of Li Luobing, he pulled Li Luobing behind him and glared angrily at Chu Ruoyang, the King of Qin, who was standing in front of him.
After Chu Ruoyang saw his expression, he also knew that he had provoked him, so he randomly took a few steps back and said, "King Yan doesn't have to be so nervous, I don't have to ask, why make the atmosphere so stiff?"
Seeing Chu Ruoyang taking the initiative to show weakness, Chu Ruoyang forgave him temporarily.
"King Qin has time to worry about these things, why don't you think about what to do with the banquet in the evening! If something like noon happens again, I'm afraid that my reputation will be greatly affected, so let's say goodbye first" After Chu Ruoyan finished speaking, he left here with Li Luobing.
Chu Ruoyang was still standing in place, and although the words that Chu Ruoyang said when he left just now were not to be heard, it was an important problem he was facing now. The failure of the noon banquet has greatly damaged his image, and if anything goes wrong at the evening banquet, he will lose everyone's trust in him.
At this time, it is very terrible to lose the trust of the ministers, and now there is no crown prince, the undercurrent is surging, everyone is staring at this position, if he loses the support of the ministers during this time, then his future road will be very difficult.
Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao got on the carriage back to Dali Temple, and it was several hours before the banquet in the evening, Li Luobing immediately reached out and pulled out most of the hairpins on his head, leaving only one or two on his head, which made him feel a little more relaxed. Chu Ruoyao looked at Li Luobing's relieved expression beside her, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Luobing stared at Chu Ruoyao dissatisfiedly and said.
He was laughing before he entered the palace, and now he is still laughing after coming out of the palace, I really don't know what is ridiculous. I just pulled the hairpin off my head.
"Even if you pull these things off now, how easy will you be? It won't be long before it's time for the evening banquet again, and you'll have to let Qiaosu clean it up for you then. Chu Ruoyao sounded like he was scolding Li Luobing, but there was a gentle look in his eyes.
Li Luobing waved his hand and said, "No matter, it will be a while to be able to relax for a while." The thought of having to dress up like this at night makes me feel a headache, and now I hope that this prince will leave the Mingyue Kingdom as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble to everyone. ”
As soon as Tuoba Lie came, the entire Mingyue Kingdom followed the Xingshi movement, and not only the ministers suffered, but the people also suffered. Because of the arrival of Tuoba Lie, many vendors could no longer set up stalls nearby, which had a great impact on the lives of the people.
The two of them had already come to Dali Temple while laughing, and after putting down the things, Li Luobing was going to rest for a while, but suddenly he thought that there were still two people on death row in Dali Temple.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to take a break? Chu Ruoyan looked at Li Luobing, she was supposed to be lying on the bed just now, but now she was standing by the bed in a daze.
"Let's go to death row first, and see how those two sons are doing?"
Since the emperor abolished Chu Ruoyan, it was as if he had forgotten these two sons of the Li family, neither saying that he would release them, but he also did not say how to deal with them. The two of them were on death row for a long time.
During this period, Li Luobing originally thought that someone from the Li Mansion would come to inquire about the whereabouts or conditions of the two of them, but from the day the academy was set on fire until now, no one came to report to the official, and no one contacted them openly or secretly. It seems that the people of the Li Mansion are not unaware of this matter, but it may be because after knowing this matter, they are afraid of causing trouble to their own mansion, so they simply give up these two sons.
"Why did you remember to come to see them?"
"After putting them in prison, I didn't say anything to them, did anything, just gave them food and drink every day, and during this time, I should be able to change the temper of the previous son! So I wanted to check it out. Li Luobing said as he put the coat he had just taken off on his body again. Chu Ruoyao nodded, and went to the death row in Dali Temple with Li Luobing.
When the two came to the door, they found that two guards were guarding there, and the two guards immediately saluted respectfully when they saw Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing.
Chu Ruoyao waved his hand to make them straighten up: "How about those two people inside?"
The guard clenched his fists and replied to Chu Ruoyao's words: "Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, these two people were still shouting and screaming two days before they entered the prison, and then they gradually quieted down. In the past few days, in addition to eating, I usually sit in the corner all day and do not move. ”
Chu Ruoyan nodded, which was also expected.
He took out the key to death row and entered it with Li Luobing. Li Jinlan and Li Jinhua's cells were in the innermost part of the corridor, and the two of them passed through a long passage before finally coming to these two cells.
The two looked inside through the cell door, Li Jinlan and Li Jinhua were in the corner of the cell, holding their knees motionless, their eyes were very dull, and they didn't even notice the existence of the two of them.
"Ahem...... Seeing this scene, Chu Ruoyan coughed lightly twice, which made the two sons and daughters in the cell react.
After hearing Chu Ruoyao's voice, Li Jinlan was the first to react, and when he looked up, he found that not only Chu Ruoyan had come here, but even Li Luobing had also come here, was he here to release himself? He hurriedly stood up and tidied up the clothes on his body, and kicked Li Jinhua, who was in a daze next to him.
"Why don't you stand up yet?"
Li Jinhua was about to refute when he was kicked, but when he saw the two people standing outside the cell, he didn't care about the kick he had just been kicked, and he also stood up after him.
"I've seen King Yan, Princess Yan."
Li Luobing listened to the tone of their words and knew that they had not been in vain in this prison during this time.
"Looks like you're doing pretty well in prison." Chu Ruoyan said to them.
After hearing what Chu Ruoyan said, these two people lowered their heads, strictly speaking, they stayed well in this prison, although it was said to be death row, but everyone ate and drank without worry, and the environment was good, except for the dim light, there was no other problem, not even dampness.
"Did someone pick us up?"
Li Jinhua looked at Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao in front of him with hopeful eyes, they had been here for so long, none of them came to visit them, at first the two thought that the people from the Li Mansion would come to intercede for them, but after waiting for so long, both of them were a little disheartened. After meeting Li Luobing today, this hope was rekindled.
"Do you think that no one has been looking for you for so long, and now they will come?"
Li Luobing looked at the two of them and said, she understands the temper of the people of the Li Mansion, and when she encounters such a thing, she can't wait to hide away, although Li Jinlan is a son-in-law, but compared with the interests of the Li Mansion, they will definitely choose the latter, and Li Jinlan can only spend his days in prison.
