Chapter 334: Return to the Yan Palace
Chapter 334: Return to the Yan Palace
"Your Highness, why didn't the princess come back with you?"
"She'll be back." Chu Ruoyan didn't explain the reason, shook her head and went directly into the house.
Since that day of self-certification, both King Qin and Tuoba Lie have suddenly stopped a lot. Chu Ruoyao had also secretly observed Tuoba Lie's movements, and he rarely even went out of the courtyard door now.
As for King Qin, not to mention, in the past, ministers came to visit every day, but in those days, King Qin's Mansion was directly closed, and it seems that they are waiting for this matter to settle down.
When the rumors in the market were almost gone, another news announced by Chu Zhuangyan also caused the ministers to be surprised. In an early dynasty, Chu Zhuangyan directly said that he wanted Chu Ruoyan to go to the border to guard the frontier, and he was going to leave on the second day.
"Your Majesty, will this time be too fast?" Some ministers who were more optimistic about Chu Ruoyan raised their worries. Going to the frontier at this time is undoubtedly withdrawing from the competition for the crown prince, isn't the emperor's candidate King Yan?
"What's fast? Of course, the sooner the matter involves the land, the better, and King Yan has already agreed. Hearing that Chu Ruoya had already agreed, everyone had nothing else to say.
Except for those who were towards Chu Ruoyao, the other ministers all felt that it was a good thing for this King Yan to leave the capital.
After the end of the early dynasty, Chu Ruoyao's whereabouts were decided in this way, and seeing that King Yan himself didn't say anything, the other ministers agreed even more.
The news that Chu Ruoya was going to be sent to the frontier also reached Tuoba Lie's ears, and since he came back that day, he has always felt that he can't give up like this, coupled with Liu Manping's constant fanning of the flames on the side, Tuoba Lie doesn't want to forgive Chu Ruoya and the others even more.
"Lord Wang, this matter can't be settled like this, otherwise wouldn't Luo Xia's previous hardships be in vain?" Liu Manping knew that after Tuoba Lie had temporarily compromised, she would talk about it next to him whenever she had time.
Tuoba Lie is so arrogant, naturally it won't end like this.
"This king knows, but it is said that it won't be long before King Yan will leave the capital."
"Then settle this matter before he leaves, and we can't let them run away like this." Liu Manping already hated the people in Yanwangfu.
"This is something that the king will consider."
"Where is Luoxia......" Liu Manping asked Tuoba Lie, Tuoba Lie gave Li Luoxia a soothing medicine before, she also knew, she originally hoped to teach Yan Wangfu a lesson through this matter, but she didn't expect it to be easily resolved by them like this.
"Luo Xia has nothing to do there, just rest for a few days, and when she wakes up, the king will make her the county lord, and as for the official ceremony, it will be held when she returns to Izumo Kingdom!"
When Tuoba Lie talked to Liu Manping, his expression was very gentle, and when he saw that Tuoba Lie was really good to Li Luoxia, Liu Manping was naturally very happy in her heart.
After she finished talking to Tuobalie, she came to the house and found Li Luoxia and told her the news.
"What? Did the prince really say that he wanted to make me the county lord? Li Luoxia was very excited when she heard the news, and asked Liu Manping over and over again.
Liu Manping nodded and said, "Yes, and I have already said that I will change your name to Tuoba Luoxia and no longer have the surname Li." ”
Li Luoxia had some complaints about Tuoba Lie because he didn't punish Li Luobing before, but now after hearing that he could be the county lord, he immediately became happy again.
Being the county lord of Izumo Country is much stronger than the previous Li Mansion, she was just a young lady in the mansion before, and now she is the county lord of Izumo Kingdom, and her status is not worse than Li Luobing.
Seeing Li Luoxia so happy, Liu Manping's mood also became very relaxed, it seems that it was very important to choose to follow Tuoba Lie's side at the beginning.
"Regarding that Li Luobing's matter, don't blame the prince, now he is just temporarily agreeing, it won't be long before King Yan and Princess Yan will go to the border, and the prince will definitely not let them go before that."
Liu Manping saw that Li Luoxia stopped talking later, and thought that she was still worried about Li Luobing's matter, so she told Li Luoxia what Tuoba Lie had just said to her.
After hearing that the two were going to the border, Li Luoxia had an idea in her heart. Since he is already the county lord, there is no need to be afraid of Li Luobing, when they are about to leave, they must come forward to ask this matter clearly, and return the suffering they have suffered before.
"Luo Xia?" Liu Manping saw that she didn't speak, and called her softly a few times, which pulled him back from his memories.
"Mother, I'm fine."
Li Luoxia smiled absentmindedly at Liu Manping, but she was thinking about her plan in her heart, although she is now the county lord, but when she has to deal with Li Luobing and others, she still lacks a lot of manpower.
Although she can ask Takubari for someone, she doesn't want to leave a bad impression on him because of this incident, and her position in Izumo Province will not be guaranteed at that time.
Now the people of Izumo Country have different thoughts, and Chu Ruoyi is busy with going to the frontier again, and the most relaxed person is actually Li Luobing.
She lived in that house for a few days, and every day the two palace maids came to bring her three meals a day and serve her to wash, although she usually didn't say a word, but as long as Li Luobing asked for it, they would try their best to complete it, the only bad thing was that she couldn't step out of this courtyard.
She had also tested where the bottom line of these people was, and when she came out one morning, she walked to the door of the courtyard, and before she could put her hands on the door, the two palace maids had already appeared in front of her, blocked her way, and motioned her back to the house with her eyes.
Li Luobing naturally didn't argue with them, and walked back very obediently, and the two palace maids disappeared again, and they didn't reappear until lunchtime.
"I don't know what's going on over there with Chu Ruoyao." Li Luobing saw that the weather outside was very good, so he asked the two palace maids to put the tea on the table in the courtyard.
She had just finished saying this sentence when there was a sound of footsteps outside, the door was pushed open by a hand, and the person who walked in was none other than Chu Ruoya.
Li Luobing still couldn't believe it when she saw Chu Ruoyao, and when she walked up to her, she rubbed her eyes to confirm that the person who came was really him.
"What? Can't believe it? Chu Ruoyao only felt funny when she saw Li Luobing's action.
"Why are you here?" Li Luobing looked at him a little blankly.
"There were too many things before, and I didn't finish it until today, I'm late, I'm sorry." Chu Ruoyao said to Li Luobing with some apologies.
"Did you agree to any conditions from the emperor?" Hearing his words, Li Luobing asked with a serious expression. After seeing Chu Ruoyao's somewhat evasive eyes, she knew that she had not guessed wrong.
"What conditions did you agree to the emperor? Tell me! Li Luobing's tone began to become anxious, she didn't want to drag Chu Ruoya down because of herself, if the conditions were too much, she would rather stay here than go out.
"It's nothing, maybe it's a good thing for you and me." Chu Ruoyao reached out and touched Li Luobing's head to comfort him, and told Li Luobing that he was going to the border.
Hearing Chu Ruoyao say that he was going to the border, Li Luobing felt both pity and felt that this was a good opportunity.
It's a pity that he has to withdraw from the competition for the crown prince for a period of time, and it is likely that his status in everyone's hearts will not be so important, but if he can achieve something at the border, it will impress the emperor.
Seeing Li Luobing's thinking expression, Chu Ruoyan knew that she actually agreed with her own approach.
"When are you going?"
"It should be just a few days." Before, Chu Zhuangyan wanted Chu Ruoyan to leave the next day, but Chu Ruoyan refused on the grounds that there were too many things to deal with.
He can leave the capital, but he also needs to make some preparations before leaving the capital, otherwise he will probably never be able to return to the border.
"I'm going with you, right?" Li Luobing was afraid that Chu Ruoyan would not take him, so he hurriedly asked.
"Of course," Chu Ruoyu nodded, "The people of Izumo Country are still in the territory of Mingyue Country, if you stay here alone, Tuoba Lie and they will definitely attack you, how can I put you in danger." ”
Hearing that he could also go to the border with him, Li Luobing breathed a sigh of relief. Now the two of them are indeed too eye-catching in the capital, and it is a good choice to leave the capital temporarily and go to the border to avoid the limelight.
"Let's go, you don't have to stay here anymore, I'm here to pick you up and go back to Yanwang's Mansion today."
"Leaving now?" Li Luobing was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be so easy. But she looked left and right, and indeed she didn't see the two palace maids who often appeared on weekdays, it seemed that she had already received Chu Zhuangyan's orders in advance.
"Why, haven't you been here enough?" After hearing Li Luobing's words, Chu Ruoyan asked.
"Of course not, I just didn't expect it to go this way." Li Luobing hurriedly shook her head, just kidding, she didn't want to stay here, the less time she spent in the palace, the better.
The two talked casually, and Chu Ruoyao left the palace with Li Luobing. They didn't go to Dali Temple, but went back to Yanwangfu directly, because Chu Ruoyi was going to the border, Dali Temple had been taken over by someone else sent by Chu Zhuangyan.
"Princess, you're back!" As soon as the two of them entered the door, Qiao Su hurriedly came out to greet her, since she knew that Li Luobing was left in the palace, she had been unable to sleep and eat, and she looked forward to Li Luobing's return every day.
"Yes, it's back." Li Luobing was also very happy to see Qiao Su and the others who came out to greet her, no one spoke to her in the palace for a few days, and she felt a lot more comfortable after returning to Yanwang's Mansion.
