Chapter 109: Threat
"Thank you for today!" Mu Ruoxue looked at Qi Shuxian's back and said.
And Qi Shuxian, who was walking in front of Mu Ruoxue, paused, turned to look at Mu Ruoxue, and said a little awkwardly: "It's all said, I'm helping myself, you don't have to thank me." ”
Then, he turned around and walked away, ignoring Mu Ruoxue behind him.
And Mu Ruoxue looked at Qi Shuxian's distant back, thoughtful. And the conversation between Mu Ruoxue and Qi Shuxian happened to be all heard by Li Luo, who had been not far from them.
There was a hint of chill in Li Luo's eyes, and then he turned his direction and walked towards Concubine Rou's Hanyue Palace.
At this time, Concubine Rou was angry because Qi Shuxian had destroyed her plan just now, and was thinking about finding another opportunity to win over Mu Ruoxue, but suddenly saw Li Luo walk in with a cold face, and she was suddenly shocked and had a bad premonition.
"Leaving the prince, why did you come to me today?" Soon, Concubine Rou adjusted her emotions and smiled at Li Luo, still looking generous and decent.
"Where's Nangong Jie!" Li Luo didn't even look at Concubine Rou, his eyes swept around the hall, and said coldly.
When Concubine Rou saw Li Luo's appearance, she was very angry, but she still had a gentle expression on her face, and said, "I don't know what is the matter with the prince looking for the fourth prince?" ”
"All I ask you is where he is? Find him and you'll know what's going on! Li Luo said immediately, his eyes glanced at Concubine Rou lightly, and his gaze was cold, which not only made Concubine Rou's heart a little hairy.
"The fourth prince should also learn from the palace at this moment, and he will be back in a while, please wait a while away from the king." Concubine Rou looked at Liwangdao, and just saw Liwang's eyes, and the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.
Then he said: "Show the tea to the king." ”
"Not necessarily! This king is not used to drinking tea in the palace. Li Luo said lightly, with a grim face.
Concubine Rou's face froze a little when she heard this, but she didn't speak again.
"The queen mother, the child has returned." At this moment, Nangong Jie's voice came from outside the hall, and then Nangong Jie slowly walked into the Hanyue Palace.
Concubine Rou heard Nangong Jie's voice with a smile on her face, while Li Luo's face became more and more cold.
And Nangong Jie just came in and met Li Luo with a cold look, and suddenly his back was a little chilling, seeing that Li Luo was very puzzled, I don't know why Li Luo appeared in this place, but he still had a humble smile on his face.
"I've seen Uncle Huang, I wonder what Uncle Huang is doing here today?" Nangong Jie looked at Li Luodao, his eyes full of doubts.
Facing Nangong Jie's smile, Li Luo just threw Nangong Jie a very cold and disdainful look, and said lightly: "You want to marry Mu Ruoxue?" ”
Nangong Jie and Concubine Rou were stunned when they heard this, Concubine Rou looked at Li Luo's eyes flashed, she thought that Li Luo came here just now because of the alliance between them, but now she knows that it is because of Mu Ruoxue, which is unexpected!
Nangong Jie looked at Li Luo and was stunned for a second, and then said: "My Fair Lady, good gentleman, I am indeed happy with Ruoxue, and this time my father is also very interested in choosing a concubine for me." ”
As soon as Nangong Jie's words were finished, he felt that the temperature around him seemed to drop by a few degrees in an instant, and he looked at Li Luo again, at this time he was staring at himself with a cold gaze, which made Nangong Jie very uncomfortable.
"She's my woman, don't you want to touch her!" Li Luo looked at Nangong Jie and said coldly, exuding a chill all over his body.
Nangong Jie glanced at Concubine Rou, and then said: "Uncle Huang is afraid that he is joking, I have never heard that Ruoxue has the intention of asking for a marriage to you, and the person who let Ruoxue participate in the selection of concubines is also the father." ”
When Li Luo heard this, there was a trace of anger in his eyes, and he came to Nangong Jie's side, directly choked Nangong Jie's neck, and said: "This king will tell you again, Mu Ruoxue is the woman of this king, even if the emperor chooses Mu Ruoxue at that time, she will not become your concubine!" ”
Nangong Jie's face turned red because he had been pinched by Li Luo's neck, and he could only look at Li Luo and couldn't say a word.
Seeing Li Luo's movements, Concubine Rou suddenly became a little anxious, immediately stood up, walked to the two of them, looked at Li Luo and said: "Leave the prince, this palace heard that you and Na Mu Ruoxue have already broken off, and it is not a wise decision to tear our faces with us because of a little girl in the relationship between us now!" The voice was a little angry.
I have always hoped that the fourth prince Nangong Jie can ascend to the throne of the emperor, but it is difficult for the strength of their mother and son alone to shake the middle palace, and it is indispensable to become the power of the crown prince of the previous dynasty.
And the emperor has always been Li Luo as a thorn in his side, and he wants to get rid of it quickly, if he doesn't want Li Luo to use it for himself all the time to fight against the emperor, otherwise he doesn't put himself in his eyes everywhere, how can he endure Li to this day!
When Li Luo heard this, he didn't mean to let go, as if he hadn't heard what Concubine Rou had just said, the expression on his face was still the same as always, and his eyes were still cold and terrifying.
Concubine Rou was even more angry when she saw this, but she glanced at Nangong Jie again, and was very anxious in her heart, and said: "Leaving the prince, you have always been a thorn in the emperor's side, he has always wanted to get rid of you as soon as possible, if he knows what you are doing in private, I am afraid that there will be enough charges to convict you, let go of my son from the king!" ”
But when Li Luo heard this, he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, showed a very wanton smile, and said: "If the emperor knows that his pillow man and his favorite son have been calculating how to make him abdicate, what do you think will happen to him?" ”
"You!" Concubine Rou was very angry when she heard this, she no longer had the gentleness and reserve she had just now, and her face turned pale by Li Luoqi.
At this time, Li Luo finally let go of Nangong Jie, Nangong Jie took a few steps back and coughed violently, gasping for breath, looking at Li Luo's eyes with a trace of fear, Concubine Rou immediately stepped forward to help him calm down.
"Dark Wind, beat the four princes with forty lashes as a punishment, so that the four princes can have a long memory!" Then Li Luo spoke again, his tone cold.
"What! Leave the prince, don't deceive people too much! Concubine Rou was very angry when she heard this, and looked at Li Luo, her eyes were fierce.
And Nangong Jie was also full of surprise when he heard this, forty battles would not cripple him, but it would allow him to lie in bed for ten days and half a month, and let the people around him do it, I don't know how heavy the force will be!
"What can you do to me?" Li Luo looked at the angry Concubine Rou and said lightly.
Li Luo's tone became very contemptuous when he spoke, while Concubine Rou looked angry, and the two formed a clear difference. Li Luo only felt funny when he looked at Concubine Rou.
"Is the king really afraid that the emperor will know about you?" Concubine Rou said angrily.
"This sentence should be asked to you in reverse, you mother and son are not afraid of death, the emperor has been trying to get rid of me all these years, I am not afraid of death, but what about your mother and son?" Li Luo looked at Concubine Rou and Nangong Jiedao, and the corners of his mouth hooked a playful smile.
"Dark Wind, don't you do it yet?" Li Luo said to the dark wind behind him.
Hearing this, Dark Wind immediately stepped forward, pressed Nangong Jie to the ground, took the whip on the side, and began to hit Nangong Jie, the force in his hand was well controlled, not only using the greatest force to make Nangong Jie hurt, but also using the smallest force to prevent Nangong Jie's body from leaving wounds.
With the wail that came out of Nangong Jie's mouth when he was beaten, Concubine Rou's face became more and more ugly, and she pulled the handkerchief in her hand vigorously!
Soon the forty lashes were over, and Nangong Jie had no strength to lie on the ground, and he only felt that when he moved, his whole body hurt terribly, but there was no wound on his body, and even his clothes were intact.
When Concubine Rou saw Nangong Jie like this, her eyes were full of distress, and she immediately asked people to help Nangong Jie up.
"This time is just a warning to you, if you don't remember it for a long time, then next time I will make you even more uncomfortable! Remember your imperial uncle, my teachings to you! Li Luo looked at Nangong Jie and said quietly.
Nangong Jie looked at Li Luo, his heart was full of hatred, his fists were clenched very tightly, but there was no expression on his face, and said, "Thank you Uncle Huang for your teaching, I have been taught!" ”
Li Luo was satisfied when he heard this, and glanced at the mother and son again, his eyes were full of disdain, and he turned around and left Hanyue Palace.
"Son, how are you? Let my mother take a look! As soon as Li Luo left, Concubine Rou immediately looked at me with distress Nangong Jie said, although Nangong Jie had no wounds on her body, she also knew how Li Luo's subordinates could be merciful.
"It's fine!" Nangong Jie looked at the back of Li Luo leaving outside the hall and gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of hatred, and the hatred in his heart just now all exploded.
"All the shame he has given me today, I will have to make him double it sooner or later!" Nangong Jie said again, with a gloomy tone and a very cold look.
Concubine Rou was also a little surprised to see her son like this, she had never seen Nangong Jie like this before, with such eyes.
Then Nangong Jie shook off the hand of the palace man who was supporting him, as if the weakness just now was all pretended by him.
"Mother, today's schoolwork is heavy, and the child will retire first." Nangong Jie waved at Concubine Rou, and then left without looking back, walking very fast, it seemed that the forty whips just now did not have any effect on him!
And Concubine Rou looked at Nangong Jie's appearance today, and had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't think about it anymore, what she should be concerned about now is the selection of concubines in three days, and she must find a way to make Mu Ruoxue her daughter-in-law.
At this time, Mu Ruoxue just walked to the gate of the palace and saw the carriage parked at the gate of the palace from the palace, could it be that Li Luo also entered the palace today? Then he thought of Li Luo's poisoning of the tour doctor, and Zou frowned.
"Miss!" At this time, the housekeeper who was standing by the carriage from the palace saw Mu Ruoxue and came up to talk to her.
Mu Ruoxue didn't plan to pay attention to it, and walked straight forward, but the housekeeper came up and grabbed Mu Ruoxue's sleeve.
"Presumptuous!" Mu Ruoxue said, looking at the housekeeper and frowning.
