Chapter 210: Suspicious Highness the Princess
What Liu Hong didn't know was that as soon as the threat of death was lifted, Liu Qi's mind came alive again.
She was not grateful for Liu Hong's noble hand, on the contrary, she even resented Liu Hong's "ruthlessness".
Liu Qi's idea was that if Liu Hong had made her son the heir earlier, or even passed the throne directly to him like she had done with the concubine born to a dead princess, then she would not have to face today's predicament.
In addition, Liu Hong's statement that "it should be his will not be missing him" also made Liu Qishi very dissatisfied.
In her opinion, the entire palace should belong to her son.
But what about Liu Hong?
He only planned to use some land and shop to send their mother and son according to the standard of ordinary concubines!
A strong hatred welled up in his heart, and Liu Qi's expression was slightly distorted.
It's a pity that Liu Hong didn't notice what kind of expression was on the face that was covered by messy hair.
After returning to his room, Liu Qi secretly lit a stick of incense.
The appearance of the incense is no different from the incense used by ordinary humans to burn incense and worship the Buddha, but when lit, the incense will emit a strange smell.
That smell is not smelled by ordinary humans at all, but Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue have read about it in many Xianxia legends.
It was a strange spice that could be used to summon monsters, not to mention these ordinary people in the palace, even Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue, who had entered the late stage of foundation building, could not get their hands on it.
Of course, they never thought to get their hands on such a thing.
Something that had been strictly resisted by the righteous monks had the ambition to appear in the palace of ordinary humans, and the two of them keenly smelled something unusual.
So, after seeing enough of the excitement, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue, who were about to leave the palace, all folded back as fast as possible at the moment when the incense was lit.
Hiding themselves with the Hidden Spirit Talisman, the two quietly squatted outside the small Buddha hall where Liu Qi's burned incense.
To their surprise, after the incense burned out, what appeared in front of Liu Qi was not the monster they had guessed.
"Little sister-in-law. The person who came was a woman with a rickety back, a rough voice, and gray hair, and she was wearing a monk's robe made of coarse linen and a hairpin carved from wood, with a sad and vicissitudes on her face.
And judging from her name for Liu Qi, it is obvious that this woman is also related to Liu Qi.
"Princess, please help me! Only you can help me!" Liu Qi's eyes were eager, and his expression looked a little crazy, but the old woman she called "Princess" didn't even raise her eyebrows.
She brushed aside Liu Qi's hand that was tightly gripping her sleeve, and her voice was still flat to the point that there was no trace of emotion, "No problem, as long as you can offer enough and good enough tribute to the master of this palace." ”
Liu Qishi nodded, "Don't worry! It's not the first time that my aunt has begged you to do something, and my aunt understands the rules set by your master." ”
The corner of the old woman's lips, whom she called "Princess", crossed the corner of her lips with a little invisible mockery, "Say, what do you want?"
Liu Qi's expression was hideous, "I want you to help me kill the sin born to that cheap woman, and the prince who is dedicated to protecting their mother and son." ”
In the second half of the sentence, Liu Qi's gritted teeth showed that he had a deeper hatred for the "eccentric" Liu Hong.
"If you kill two people at the same time, the amount of tribute will be doubled. The old woman she called "Princess" was not frightened by Liu Qi's ruthlessness in the slightest, and she continued to say to Liu Qi's in a flat voice: "The tribute is still sent to the old place. When people arrive, the palace will choose an auspicious day to practice. ”
Liu Qi nodded hurriedly, "Give me three days, and I will definitely send the tribute to you within three days." ”
Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue were all stupid - ordinary humans who were vicious like this, both of them saw each other for the first time.
It wasn't until the two women in the Buddhist hall came out one after the other that Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue came back to their senses from shock.
Without any hesitation, when the old woman who was called "princess" by Liu Qi's family left the palace, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue chased in the direction she left.
Although the old woman was just an ordinary person, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue didn't have to worry about being found out at all, but in view of the weirdness of this matter, the two finally chose to be cautious, cautious and cautious.
Under the cover of the Hidden Talisman, they followed the old woman's carriage out of the city, and then watched her carriage enter a temple outside the city.
That temple is next to Huangjue Temple, I don't know if it's because there are ancient trees in the forest around the temple to shade the sun all year round, that temple feels a little gloomy.
The strangest thing is that Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue's perception was bounced back by a mysterious force when they tried to probe the inside of that temple.
In desperation, the two had to go back to the city first to find out the news.
Soon, they found out the true identity of the princess from Lin'an City.
Liu Jin, the sister of Liu Yu, the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Xingqi, enjoys honor because her biological mother is the Empress Dowager Shi, but such a woman who is born rich and noble has a big flaw - the Luo family on Changlong Island, where she has been engaged since she was a child, will not come to marry her, and even said that if she dares to marry someone else, the Luo family will send monks under her command to help the Northern Dynasty attack the Southern Song Dynasty.
As soon as they heard this, Empress Dowager Shi and Liu Yu, the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, immediately wilted.
Among all mortals, Empress Dowager Shi and Liu Yu, the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, were most afraid of the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Northern Dynasty.
But all the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty combined, the sense of fear brought to Empress Dowager Shi and Liu Yu, the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, was no better than those immortal cultivators who had a transcendent status in this world and their own strength was comparable to that of humanoid weapons.
The difference between immortals and immortals is not an empty word, in front of those immortal cultivators, the Liu family has always put themselves in the right position.
Therefore, they didn't dare to offend the Luo family on Changlong Island at all.
Of course, there is another very important reason why they are trembling and walking on thin ice - the surviving person of the former head of the Luo family, Luo Ji, the mistress/wife of Luo Fu, the current head of the Luo family, and the aunt of Liu Yu, the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, was forced to marry Luo Ji, the former head of the Luo family, by Liu Yu's father, that is, Liu Xuan's own brother.
At that time, Luo Ji moved his mind to inherit the family because of the hopelessness of breaking through and being on the verge of sitting, in order to be able to leave his bloodline heirs before he died, Luo Ji found someone to calculate the birth date of the woman who was most likely to help him give birth to a son.
Of course, Liu Xuan is not the only woman who meets the requirements, but who makes Liu Xuan an outstanding girl who is noble, beautiful, elegant, intelligent, and smart.
Luo Ji, who had already stepped into the coffin with one foot, fell in love with her at a glance, so she was directly packed by her father and brother and sent to Luo Ji's bed.
