Chapter 507: Actions in the Dark
"Mother, since you feel tired, you don't have to worry too much about some things, your daughter has nothing to do, and your mother doesn't have to visit from time to time, your daughter will take care of herself, do you think I'm not in trouble during this time?"
"That's true, if you get into any more trouble, I'm going to have a headache."
Liu Manping looked at Tuoba Luoxia, and a look of relief flashed in her eyes.
Seeing that Liu Manping did not doubt herself, Tuoba Luoxia gradually became relaxed, it seems that her plan can still be carried out, and when Li Luobing dies, then everything will be unproven, and she will live a normal life with Chu Ruoyi.
"I don't know what the emperor thinks, not only did he not let Princess Xie Wu leave Izumo Country in the past few days, but he also had to hold a banquet here."
Liu Manping's unintentional muttering was listened to by Tuoba Luoxia.
Having a banquet? After hearing the news, Tuoba Luoxia suddenly became interested, she was worried about when to attack Li Luobing, but the opportunity was actually sent to the door so quickly.
"Yes, the emperor said that it was specially held to apologize to Princess Xie Wu. It's just a princess of the Bright Moon Kingdom, and our Izumo Kingdom is not without a princess, so there is no need for the emperor to do it to this extent. ”
Liu Manping was a little angry after saying this, she has always been suspicious of Li Luobing, so she disagrees with Tuoba Lie's approach.
"Queen Mother, there is no need for you to be angry with your father for such a trivial matter, there must be a reason for your father to do this, we just need to follow our father's orders."
"Yes, you're right, I don't need to worry about these things at all." After Tuoba Luoxia's enlightenment, Liu Manping also reacted.
"Wouldn't that be good?" After the mother and daughter chatted a little more, Liu Manping left here.
And Tuoba Luoxia began to plan seriously, the banquet was held tomorrow, so she must arrange everything before dawn, so that she would not panic at that time.
At this time, Li Luobing was no longer in the palace, since Qiaosu had happened to her, she had told Tuoba Lie that she would go to live outside the palace, only in this way could she avoid the dangers everywhere in the palace, and the little maid who served her was also one of the entourages of Mingyue Kingdom.
"Princess, you can eat!" The little maid put the meal on the table in front of Li Luobing and withdrew.
In the past few days, all the people seem to have reached a tacit understanding, and they will not talk too much with Li Luobing, let alone mention the matter about Qiaosu, they are deliberately forgetting that matter, only Li Luobing will still think of the past with Qiaosu in the dead of night.
Every time at this time, she would stand up and come to the window to look outside, if she hadn't promised Chu Zhuangyan, if she hadn't come to Izumo Country, Qiao Su might not have experienced these things.
Early the next morning, a eunuch in the palace came to Li Luobing's house.
"The slave has seen the princess of anxiety." The little eunuch then took out a letter written by Tuoba Lie to Li Luobing from his sleeve, which said that Li Luobing was invited to the palace to attend a banquet, according to Tuoba Lie, this banquet was mainly to apologize to Li Luobing, and to tell Li Luobing about the final outcome of this matter.
"Okay, I know, you go back and tell the emperor, just say that I will definitely go on time."
Although it is inevitable that Qiaosu will be mentioned again at this banquet, in order to give Qiaosu justice, Li Luobing has no way to refuse.
Not only did she receive the news, but Chu Ruoyan also received the news. He and Li Luobing haven't met publicly since they dealt with this matter for the time being, and he doesn't want Li Luobing to be hurt by this matter, so he can only deeply suppress his thoughts about her in his heart.
"Lord Wang, are you going to this banquet?" Guo Dong asked Chu Ruoyao.
Chu Ruoyan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I won't go this time." ”
"Not going? But the letter said that the princess would also go. Chu Ruoyao's answer was completely unexpected by Guo Dong, in his opinion, as long as there is a place where the princess appears, the prince will definitely follow.
"Since Luo Bing has gone, I can't go, I have appeared with Luo Bing in front of everyone enough in the past few days, if I go again this time, I am afraid it will add a lot of trouble to her."
After Chu Ruoya made up her mind, she put the letter aside.
After lunch, Li Luobing entered the palace with her little maid, this time she was very cautious, in addition to this little maid, she also brought a few guards.
After coming to the main hall where the banquet was held, everyone was not surprised to see Li Luobing's battle, after all, something like that had happened before, and it was natural for the princess to protect herself.
Everyone came to the main hall one after another, and only after everyone was seated did Tuoba Lie slowly appear on the dragon chair, and when he saw Li Luobing sitting next to him, he also nodded to her deliberately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this banquet is actually held by me for the princess of Mingyue Kingdom." After Tuoba Lie said this, the ministers all looked at Li Luobing.
"It's better to say that it's a banquet, but it's better to say that I gave an explanation to Princess Jiewei. Something like that happened in Izumo Province a few days ago, I was very upset in my heart, and I hope that Princess Xie will not let there be any misunderstanding between Izumo Province and Mingyue Province because of this incident. ”
Li Luobing nodded: "Thank you Emperor, it's great that this matter can be resolved smoothly, there is no deep hatred between Izumo Kingdom and Mingyue Kingdom, this little thing, please believe that our emperor of Mingyue Kingdom will not take it to heart." ”
After hearing Li Luobing admit it in person, Tuoba Lie breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone felt that he was very relaxed on the surface, but no one knew that Tuoba Lie was under huge pressure in his heart, Chu Zhuangyan was completely a villain's mentality, and until now the soldiers were still waiting near the border, but after this banquet was held, Li Luobing should have written a letter asking Chu Zhuangyan to retire!
After explaining the cause and effect of the whole thing in a few words, the atmosphere in the hall began to warm up, and the dancers also danced.
Li Luobing was not in the mood to appreciate all this, according to her thoughts, she could leave the banquet after Tuoba Lie had finished saying those words, but it was too eye-catching, and she had to sit down here.
Sitting diagonally opposite Li Luobing was Tuoba Luoxia, she didn't want to participate in this banquet this time, but Tuoba Lie named Tuoba Luoxia to attend, and Tuoba Luoxia had no choice but to agree.
She originally wanted to take advantage of the time of this banquet to arrange her dead soldiers, so that they could find a suitable time to attack Li Luobing, plus Feng Yue, the whole thing needed a careful planning.
Yesterday, she thought that she could arrange these things before dawn, but she didn't expect that she actually fell asleep halfway, and she didn't continue after waking up, Liu Manping came to her again, and told her a lot of things about the banquet, which also wasted a lot of time.
Tuoba Luoxia held the letter in her hand and fidgeted a little, she finally finished writing this plan before the banquet, and was urged to come here before she could send the news.
"Mama Liu, if you personally send this thing out of the palace, there will be someone waiting for you at the gate of the palace." When she saw that no one around was paying attention to her, Tuoba Luoxia quietly stuffed the letter into Mama Liu's hand.
Mama Liu shook the letter in her hand a little nervously and quietly put it on her body.
"Don't worry, the old slave will definitely help the princess complete the task." Then Mama Liu quietly left Tuoba Luoxia's side.
After she left, Tuoba Luoxia's whole person became very vigilant, it was good that Mama Liu was not by her side if she was not discovered, and once she was discovered, she must think of a good wording.
However, she was afraid of something, and not long after Mama Liu left, Liu Manping found out about it.
"Where did Mama Liu go? Why don't you serve by your side? ”
Liu Manping searched everywhere but didn't see her, in her impression, Mama Liu should always be around Tuoba Luoxia, after all, Mama Liu is the person brought out by her side, how could she suddenly leave on such an important occasion?
"I'm just a little uncomfortable, so I asked Mama Liu to go back and get the pills prescribed by the doctor for my daughter." Tuoba Luoxia said such a reason in a hurry.
Under the weather? Liu Manping's eyes widened immediately when she heard this.
"Why are you still here if you're not feeling well? Why don't you go back to rest? After finishing speaking, Liu Manping wanted to tell Tuoba Lie about it.
Tuoba Luoxia hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her: "Queen Mother, no need, if I have to leave at this time, my father will be angry, and it will be good after Mama Liu takes the medicine back, I believe the banquet will end in a short time." ”
"You're much more sensible than you used to be." After hearing Tuoba Luoxia's words, Liu Manping was very pleased, in her eyes, Tuoba Luoxia was still the person who used to cause trouble, but she didn't expect that in recent years, she not only had peace of mind, but also knew how to understand the feelings of others.
"My daughter has made a lot of mistakes before, so I don't want to make everyone angry anymore."
Tuoba Luoxia was very well-behaved on the surface, but she was relieved in her heart, fortunately she deceived Liu Manping, otherwise she would have no way to explain Mama Liu's whereabouts.
After a short while, Mama Liu came back, because she was in a hurry this time, and the whole person was still a little out of breath. She looked around and entered through the side door of the main hall, and quietly walked around to Tuoba Luoxia's side.
"Princess, the old slave is back, and the things have been delivered."
