Chapter 232: An Unexpected New Year's Gift
Jinghua Palace.
"Liqing, I just heard that you almost fought with Lan Zhan at the palace gate because of a package, but what is next to you?"
The empress was also successfully intrigued by Yue Lingyao's words, pointed to the package that Li Wuji had placed beside her, and asked with a smile.
Hearing the empress mention the matter at the palace gate, the ministers couldn't help but become nervous, and they silently recited in their hearts to let Li Wuji ask for more blessings.
"Exactly."
"What happened just now is not to deliberately make things difficult for the Lan Commander, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you."
Li Wuji bowed, nodded and said.
"It's okay, today is the New Year's Day, I'm happy, I don't care about you."
The empress waved her hand and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Wuji thanked him gratefully.
"Yan Yuwei is responsible, it is natural to guard the palace gate, and it is a bit arrogant to ignore the palace rules just because of a package, right?"
At this time, the Qilin Heavenly Master also suddenly opened his mouth, and his words seemed to be holding the empress accountable.
"A heavy gift to Your Majesty, how can others be allowed to touch it at will?!"
"The Heavenly Master has come from afar, so this matter is too lenient, right?!"
Li Wuji turned his head to look at the Qilin Heavenly Master and asked coldly, showing no mercy.
Hearing Li Wuji's words, all the civil and military officials present were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that Li Wuji didn't even pay attention to the Qilin Heavenly Master.
"Alright, alright! Today is the New Year's Day, and the Heavenly Master is a distinguished guest invited by me, and you must not be rude when you leave! ”
"You're not happy to say two words about you, aren't you?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, the empress hurriedly interrupted.
She knew very well in her heart that Li Wuji would never swallow her anger, and if she let it go, she was afraid that she would really have to start in the main hall.
"Your Majesty is whatever it is."
Li Wuji arched his hand and said with a smile.
"What did Your Majesty say, listening to what you say, how do you feel full of compresses..."
"Childe! You care so much about this package, didn't you prepare some incomparably valuable New Year's gift for Your Majesty? ”
Yue Lingyao was about to interject, but before she finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by Li Jingyao.
She had already seen that Qilin Heavenly Master and Yue Lingyao seemed to have made an appointment to let Li Anhou out of trouble.
"Exactly."
Li Wuji gratefully arched his hand at Li Jingzhen and said slowly.
"Oh, what is it? So mysterious? ”
Li Jingzhen's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously.
Because of her opening, she successfully relieved Li Wuji, and the empress saw it in her eyes, with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Back to Your Highness, this gift is indeed very valuable, so it can only be received by His Majesty alone, and no one else can see it."
Li Wuji paused and said seriously.
"Oh? Then I'm a little curious, what is it? Could it be that Liqing is still afraid of being robbed by others? ”
The empress smiled and asked thoughtfully, a hint of expectation gradually appeared in her eyes.
"This thing is related to the fortune of the country, and it can only be appreciated by His Majesty alone, and it is not suitable to see people."
"Please go down to a place where no one is here to receive this thing, and your Majesty will naturally understand at that time."
Li Wuji arched his hand and said with a serious face.
Listening to Li Wuji's words, all the civil and military officials present were curious, and they all got up to look.
The empress frowned, glanced at Li Wuji, and couldn't understand what the hell Li Wuji was doing, so she hesitated.
"Can't even see the main palace?"
Li Jingzhen looked at Li Wuji curiously and asked puzzled.
"It's best not to see it, but this matter has to be decided by His Majesty, it depends on whether His Majesty will let His Highness see him now, or let His Highness see him in the future."
Li Wuji smiled and said slightly apologetically.
Listening to Li Wuji's answer, Li Jingzhen became even more curious.
"Your Majesty, since Anhou is so mysterious, the old man can't sit still, why don't you let the old man accompany His Majesty?"
At this time, the Qilin Heavenly Master also opened his mouth, with a face full of anticipation.
"It's okay, then ask the Heavenly Master to come with me."
The empress hesitated for a moment and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the little girl is also a little curious, and I implore Your Majesty to take the little girl with you."
And Yue Lingyao on the side also opened his mouth.
"Your Majesty, as I said just now, it is best for your Majesty to reward this thing alone."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Li Wuji arched his hand at the empress and said with a serious face.
In fact, he knew that the reason why the empress was reluctant to agree was because he was worried that he had other plans.
"It's okay, Heavenly Master and Master Yue are both distinguished guests invited by me, not outsiders, so let the two of them accompany them."
The empress waved her hand, and as she spoke, she couldn't wait to stand up.
Although she was a little cautious, she could no longer suppress the curiosity in her heart.
Li Wuji hesitated for a moment, and then stopped, so he had to nod and say no more.
"Your Majesty, son..."
Li Jingzhen looked at the empress who got up, and hesitated to speak.
"Come on, too."
The empress said with a smile, beckoned to Li Wuji, and turned around and walked towards the back of the hall.
Immediately afterward, several people got up and followed.
Li Wuji picked up the package, slowly followed behind, and left Jinghua Hall under the curious gaze of a group of civil and military officials.
…
After a long time.
in the back garden.
At night, the empress took Li Jingzhen and the other three people to sit in the garden pavilion, looking at Li Wuji who slowly walked into the pavilion, her eyes lit up.
Guarding the surroundings, there are all red fish guards, Ye Han is standing behind the empress, staring at the slowly approaching Li Wuji with his eyes, as long as he finds anything wrong, he will immediately take action!
"Liqing, it's clean enough, right?"
"Come on, let me take a good look at what kind of gifts you have prepared to make such a mystery."
The empress raised her hand and said slowly.
Li Wuji nodded, carefully placed the package on the table, and gently opened the brocade wrapped outside.
His movements were very small, for fear of irritating the Red Fish Guard on the side, because once something happened, Lu Yuan's kid who was hiding nearby would definitely rush out to protect him regardless of it!
When the time comes, it will really be impossible to tell.
Every time he entered the palace, Lu Yuan would sneak into the palace quietly and protect him in secret, although with his skills, nothing would happen, but that was Lu Yuan's mission as Deadpool!
From the first day he followed Li Wuji, he had already given up his life, no matter when and where, no one would be allowed to hurt Li Wuji!
"Golden Silk Nanmu?!"
"What a delicate box!"
When Li Wuji unveiled the outermost layer of brocade, Yue Lingyao, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but praise!
This box alone is already priceless!
Now, the few people present finally believe that Li Wuji has really prepared a generous gift!
"Your Majesty, please look!"
Li Wuji reached out and grabbed the lid of the box and reminded him in a low voice.
As the words fell, Li Wuji gently opened the box and opened it!
Immediately after, the four people sitting at the table opened their eyes wide at the same time, and they couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Red Dragon Seal?!"
Li Jingzhen couldn't help but stand up and shouted in surprise.
The Qilin Heavenly Master and Yue Lingyao on the side were full of surprise, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, as if they understood in an instant what Li Wuji meant by insisting on asking the empress to be rewarded alone in the main hall.
"Hasn't this Red Dragon Seal been in the palace all the time? How did it get into your hands?! ”
Li Jingzhen looked up at Li Wuji and asked in disbelief, her voice a little cold.
The empress looked at the jade seal in the box with a solemn face, and the shock on her face was no less than that of anyone beside her.
"Your Majesty, do you need to say it now?"
Li Wuji looked at the empress and asked slowly.
Listening to Li Wuji's words, Li Jingzhen showed a trace of doubt on her face, and looked at the empress in confusion.
And Qilin Heavenly Master and Yue Lingyao kept their mouths shut and didn't dare to express any opinions.
They had already regretted insisting on coming with the Empress, because judging from the Empress's first reaction, they had already understood everything.
"Stand down, no one is allowed to confide in tonight's affairs, and those who violate it will be killed!"
The empress had a calm face and said coldly.
Hearing the empress's order, Qilin Heavenly Master and Yue Lingyao hurriedly got up and respectfully agreed as if they had received amnesty, and immediately turned around and left without looking back.
Li Jingzhen hesitated for a moment, glanced at the empress hesitantly, bowed his hand, and slowly turned to leave.
Even if she had many puzzles and questions in her heart, she gradually realized something.
After everyone left, the empress raised her hand and waved, signaling that all the Red Fish Guards had withdrawn to fifty steps away except for Ye Han, and then slowly raised her head, looking at Li Wuji with a complicated expression...
