Chapter 231 Meng Po (39)
Chapter 231 Meng Po (39)
Luoyi's words did prevent him from falling into a dilemma.
But it was difficult for him to face the "brother" who risked his life to protect him.
At the same time, he didn't know how to get along with "her" again.
If "her" mission is to get rid of him.
So, if he doesn't die, the mission will not be completed.
Then can "she" also stay here forever?
But right now the public anger is hard to appease.
Time and again, there have been incidents of marriage alliances and assassinations of monarchs of the Southern Kingdom in the Northern Kingdom.
This inevitably made the people in the South wonder whether there was a bigger conspiracy in the North that had yet to be unleashed.
It's not just ordinary people who make such speculations.
This was also the opinion of the ministers in the court.
Therefore, they never left the palace and returned home after the ceremony was disrupted.
They were all staying in the palace and were now kneeling outside the bedroom, begging to see the emperor.
Princess Rong En must be punished as she deserves.
And there will be heavy penalties.
Killing one person as a warning to the rest is also a warning to the northern country.
"Your Majesty, the ministers outside the door are still not leaving. Your servant..."
Xibao was helpless.
The emperor hid himself inside and asked a eunuch to block the door and persuade his trusted ministers.
How could he have the power to influence their thoughts?
The mouths of these writers are as sharp as blades.
After being defeated in verbal battle again and returning empty-handed, Xibao retreated into the palace to ask for instructions from the emperor.
"Are all the ministers blocking the palace?"
Yue Niang just woke up and didn't know what Li Yi had done.
"Why? Are you here for Princess Rong'en? Your Majesty, how is it..."
"I don't know either."
It was rare for Li Yi to show a trace of dazed cowardice in front of her.
He sat on the edge of the bed.
He looked down at the dark patterns on the dragon robe.
The dragon table, which symbolizes supreme status and power, is a constant reminder of his identity.
According to his selfish desires, let it be.
Just lift it up gently. At least he was not dead, and Lueyi also woke up.
But obviously the feasibility is very low.
If their thinking goes, Princess Rong En will surely die.
"She" has to leave.
What should he do?
Waited again and again.
Before, he was young and had many opportunities.
But now is the best time for him.
He has no control over what the situation will be like in the next ten or twenty years.
Just like my father.
In my old age, how much time do I have left to wait?
"Prince Anyang has arrived—"
have to.
This eagerness will not change even if I wait another twenty years.
He had said long ago that his father was definitely not a pitiful person who would sit and wait for death.
My father simply can't let it go.
Not that perfect either.
Rather than praising his perseverance, it is better to say that he is paranoid.
The eunuch was reporting outside, and soon steady and powerful footsteps were heard outside the palace.
"Your Highness Prince Anyang..."
"King Anyang——"
At first, the ministers seemed to see hope.
They all cast eager glances at him, hoping that King Anyang would make the decision for them.
Don't talk about making decisions for the emperor.
We should also advise the emperor not to indulge in women.
Those are just disguises.
Passing by.
But she really met King Anyang's eyes.
Those eyes were filled with the murderous intent of fighting on the battlefield and guarding the frontier.
It is not something that ordinary people can look directly at.
They moved away quickly again.
As time went by, they almost forgot about it.
Isn’t this guy also a person who prefers beauty to the throne?
Looking back to the past, King Anyang took on the attitude of one man blocking the pass of ten thousand and blocked the cavalry of the Southern Kingdom that was attacking the Northern Kingdom.
A word of "retreat".
Who else dares to comment further?
Let this lust-blinded founder go and persuade their Majesty.
Humph.
I'm afraid it might even encourage His Majesty's determination to let Princess Rong'en go.
It’s not that they, as the ministers, don’t trust the character of this father and son.
He has a long criminal record and it is difficult to convince people.
Now, we can only hope that Prince Anyang has gone through a lot and has "turned over a new leaf" after ten years.
Besides, the person this time is not Princess Yinghua herself.
But whether intentionally or unintentionally, they may be deceiving themselves.
They all overlooked the fact that Princess Rong'en was Princess Yinghua's niece.
As soon as Li Lu arrived at the city gate, he heard the news that Li Yi had been assassinated.
I was skeptical at first, but now I am 80% sure.
It shouldn't be her.
She is not a ghost who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
You don't have to kill people to complete the mission every time you come.
She was the one who saved Li Yi.
He also had people watching over them, so they never made any mistakes.
There's no reason to get rid of him.
There is definitely something fishy going on here.
"Father."
Li Yi stood up to greet his father who had not returned for a long time.
"Your Majesty."
Yue Niang couldn't lie down anymore. Although she wanted to recognize him, it was not appropriate at this time.
Stand up and kneel down to salute.
Just like in Luanyi's memory.
"You are injured, why do you need such a big gift?"
Li Yi hurriedly tried to pull him up, but he didn't dare to use too much force.
This guy is just a stubborn ass.
The little old-fashioned guy was much more sincere when meeting his father than when meeting him, the emperor.
Yue Niang did not respond to Li Yi.
Just kneel down and wait for the prince to speak.
"Well, since you are injured, forget about all the formalities. Get up."
Li Lu's voice is now completely different from the voice he had when he was young.
Honest and dumb.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
She stood up calmly and normally and stood aside.
Only then did I have the chance to see his face.
old.
Obviously old.
At the age of fifty, no matter how well you take care of yourself, you are no better than young people.
What's more, he is not a pampered nobleman. He is exposed to the wind and sun at the frontier every day, so how can he look young?
It seemed like I had just seen him like that last time.
At that time, only my temples were gray.
Now there are long white hairs all over my head.
There are more wrinkles on the face.
More majestic and stable.
Even her eyes, which she had always thought were beautiful and clear, were no longer pure.
More tired and deep.
Her gaze was too scorching, and the perception ability that Li Lu had cultivated on the battlefield was brought to the extreme at this moment.
Why was Lueyi staring at him like that?
She glanced at him inconspicuously, trying to identify the difference in this child.
"Father, you must be tired after traveling all night. Why don't you go back to the palace and rest first? Tomorrow it will be your son's turn to visit you."
Li Yi interrupted his doubts.
"Not bad, not too tired."
He looked back at his own son whose name was written on him.
Twenty years have passed, and the child has grown into an adult.
too fast.
"We need to come up with a solution for today's issue as soon as possible, otherwise gossip will only lead to bad consequences, and there will be no better results if we delay any further."
He came in a hurry not just to see her.
What is more important is how to quell the incident that happened ten years ago.
It is not easy to establish a country in the South.
No matter how wrong the emperor is, his achievements cannot be denied.
The glory of Nan Guo today is mainly due to his painstaking efforts.
Dust to dust, dust to dust.
My brother has paid the price for his evil deeds.
They still have to protect the hard work of their predecessors.
"Where did you keep Princess Rong En? Take me to see her."
