Chapter 47: Cannibalism
"Miss, are you up? The lord asked you to go to the front hall for dinner. ”
Outside the house, the cautious voice of Yingchun sounded, interrupting Liu Luoying's thoughts.
However, under Luo Ting's suggestion, she was no longer distressed, and she saw the road ahead with a clear mind, knowing how to save her sister from the sea of suffering.
Lost her previous gloom, her voice was much louder and more powerful, "Okay, I'll get up." ”
"Yes, miss."
Liu Luoying stretched out her hand to Luo Ting and said with a smile: "Thank you, second cousin, if it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have to drill into a dead end." ”
"Me? I'm just saying my opinion. ”
"No, you're amazing."
Liu Luoying took the initiative to put away the cover on the ground, and worked together with Luo Ting to clean up the house, and then, like yesterday, one person was washing outside, and the other was hiding in the closet.
Everything was so natural, as if that's how they lived.
When eating in the front hall, it was still the same seating order as yesterday, and Lin Peiyan still talked along Liu Luoying in order to find a common topic.
In such accommodation, Liu Luoying did not feel moved, but became more and more disgusted.
They are like a dead cycle, Lin Peiyan pesters her, and Liu Xueying pesters Lin Peiyan, repeatedly, endlessly.
It's just that in this life, Liu Luoying polished her eyes, saw clearly, kept calm at all times, and did not waver because of Lin Peiyan's sweet words.
Her face was cold, and her whole body exuded an air of alienation, and when she had finished eating, she hurried back to her courtyard.
But the two dog skin plasters still followed behind and came together, begging for a cup of tea.
Lin Peiyan is also the king of Yan, and even if Liu Luoying is unwilling, she can only be patient and sit with her.
But no matter what he said, he just smiled.
Anyway, with Liu Xueying by her side, she didn't need to speak at all, and the surrounding area was full of chattering and noisy.
"Lord Wang, you are so powerful, you dare to rush into the base camp of the Jin soldiers alone, so brave, even if you are the general of the God of War of the previous dynasty, you are not as good as you."
Lin Peiyan raised his chin proudly, glanced at Liu Luoying, and waited for her to praise herself.
But after a long time, the girl just indifferently picked up a piece of pastry, put it in her mouth, and chewed it elegantly.
"Ahem, this king is not as powerful as you say."
"No, no, no, the prince is the most powerful person Xue Ying has ever seen. Which prince in the court dares to kill the enemy as bravely as you, regardless of life and death? ”
Liu Xueying folded her hands, her eyes were full of admiration, and she used all her words of praise on Lin Peiyan.
All this, in the eyes of Liu Luoying, is a joke.
She knew very well why Lin Peiyan appeared on the battlefield, and the so-called brave entry into the enemy camp was just a credit for seizing a deceased prince.
In fact, he was on the battlefield, like a turtle with a shrunken head, always the soldiers rushed to the front, and he appeared last to capture the booty.
Just like that encounter with the enemy army in the canyon, even the caller was an adjutant, and if he didn't have the name of the Marquis's Palace, he wouldn't show up at all.
These secrets were leaked by Lin Peiyan after the death of the old emperor in the previous generation.
At that time, he drank a lot of wine, his tongue was knotted, and his speech was slurred, like a madman, sometimes shouting in front of the coffin, sometimes laughing and arrogant, sometimes cursing the old emperor angrily.
Liu Luoying only vaguely heard from him that this war was planned by him and a prince in the Jin Kingdom, with the purpose of consolidating his position and taking advantage of the chaos to eliminate the threat to the throne.
And Lin Peiyan did become the most vocal prince after the situation in the government and the opposition stabilized. Because two princes were killed on the battlefield first, and then the crown prince Yongcai made a mistake and was demoted, he succeeded to the throne as the prince.
Now that I think about it, Liu Luoying's back can't help but be filled with layers of cold.
Could it be that the two deceased princes were killed by Lin Peiyan?
She was terrified, trying to remember what he said about the prince's name at that time, but she found that she couldn't remember anything.
Is it the brave and warlike King of Qin, or the gentle King of Servants? Or the King of Heng behind the gate?
In this life, if you can stop Lin Peiyan from killing his siblings, maybe you can prevent him from becoming the emperor.
Thinking of this, Liu Luoying meditated even harder, so focused that she didn't even notice that Lin Peiyan had something to leave.
Liu Xueying saw His Royal Highness King Yan leaving, so she didn't stay long and left boringly.
At dinner, because King Yan did not come back, everyone had a simple meal in the courtyard.
An's finally found a chance to deal with Liu Luoying, and out of the evil anger in her heart, she directly deducted the food to only a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickled radish.
"My wife said that the expenses in the house are too large these days, so I can only reduce the consumption, and please don't blame Miss Yan."
The first-class female envoy beside An's side, relying on her master to hold the housekeeper's key, her eyes are above the top, her head is raised high, and her attitude is arrogant like a master.
Liu Luoying didn't care about their vindictiveness, she only waved her hand casually, signaling for her to leave.
"Miss Chang, my wife said that the prince has stayed in the mansion for the past few days, and the consumption of silver is huge, and I hope Miss Chang can lend a helping hand to help everyone get through this time. When she returns to the capital in the future, she will definitely compensate you. ”
"There is no need for compensation, since the third aunt wants it, then take it. Hug Xia, you will leave one of the remaining three boxes of things and let them move the remaining two boxes. ”
"Yes, miss."
Liu Luoying left a back hand, calmly asked Baoxia to take someone to move the things, and went back to the room.
This time, she didn't worry about it alone, but called Luo Ting to analyze with herself, which prince was the biggest threat to Lin Peiyan.
The two of them hugged their arms and sat in front of the desk, and after thinking hard, Luo Ting's face was puzzled: "Ying'er, can you tell me, why do you want to find these two princes?" ”
"This ......" Liu Luoying didn't know how to answer, if she used a lie, she could say more than a dozen casually, but in the face of Luo Ting, she didn't want to lie, "Second cousin, do you believe me?" ”
"Faith."
Without a moment's hesitation, Luo Ting still answered firmly and seriously.
"Second cousin, Sakura has a last resort, and I can't tell you the reason. But Sakura can swear that at the end of the war, these two princes will definitely be killed by Lin Peiyan! ”
The words fell, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
Luo Ting frowned, seeing that the girl's expression was serious, it didn't seem to be lying, but this was too absurd to be believed.
The most important thing is that they are just ordinary people, even if Lin Peiyan wants to kill his siblings, what can they do?
"Sakura, what do you want me to do?"
"Second cousin, Sakura knows that there is a master around you who is secretly protecting, can you let him protect those two princes?"
"There is only one shadow servant by my side, if he is asked to protect a prince, it is okay, but if there are two of them, I am afraid it will be difficult to be competent."
Luo Ting shook his head slightly, seeing that the girl's brows were tightly locked, her heart was soft, and she couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so she changed the conversation again: "Ying'er, don't worry, another prince, I will personally protect him, and I can also protect his safety." ”
