Dongming Ziyu put his arms around Shangguan Ruoli's waist, looked at her with his head slightly lowered, and asked softly: "Are you cold?"

Her voice is very soft and can easily stir people's emotions.

Except for the close associates of Prince Xuan's Mansion, others had never seen Dongming Ziyu in such a gentle and caring manner, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Once this thousand-year-old iron tree blooms, it will really surprise everyone.

Mo Wen looked at everyone's expressions, his lips twitching slightly, wondering what their expressions would be like if they knew that their prince was being beaten by the princess.

When Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyes, he saw Su Shuangshuang twisting his clothes tightly, with jealousy and hatred in his eyes.

He said tenderly to Dongming Ziyu: "For Dongming, for the people of Dongming, and for the father, this little coldness is nothing."

The corners of Dongming Ziyu's lips twitched, almost not showing a playful smile.

King Li didn't want to watch the two of them showing off their affection in this cold wind, so he motioned to the attendant holding the wine glass behind him to come forward and take a glass of wine from above, "It's cold, please drink the Zhuangxing wine and set off as soon as possible."

The attendant brought the wine glass to Dongming Ziyu. Dongming Ziyu lowered his eyes and didn't move.

Of course Shangguan Ruoli didn't move, and said with a smile: "King Xuan has a heart disease and cannot drink alcohol at will. I am unwell and cannot drink cold wine in the cold wind, so please ask the accompanying officials to drink it on my behalf."

You just sent us on our way, why are we still drinking your wine?

You have such a big face.

Everyone's expressions became strange. Does this mean that King Xuan and King Li are not getting along and are openly confronting each other?

Although everyone had speculations in their minds, King Xuan had a heart problem and the woman was unwell, so it was indeed not suitable to drink in this cold draft.

Moreover, the strong wind was blowing the leaves, and the wine glass had been held for such a long time, and it was inevitable that dust would accumulate inside. Let them drink, and they would all frown, not to mention King Xuan and Princess Xuan.

King Li's face instantly became gloomy and terrifying. The knuckles of the hand holding the wine glass turned white due to the exertion. He said coldly: "This is the Zhuangxing wine given by the emperor."

Shangguan Ruoli looked at the wine glass, pointed at it and said: "It's full of grass foam and dust. Are you sure that King Li will let us drink? After King Li drank the wine, he returned to his house and there was a charcoal basin, a lovely wife, and a doctor waiting on him. We want to

It would be bad if we braved the severe cold and fell ill on the way, delaying the peace talks in Beiling."

There was another slight commotion among the people seeing him off, and they all made comparisons in their minds, consciously or unconsciously.

King Li had always been favored by the emperor. He had been pampered since he was a child. When he grew up, his fiefdom was in the south of the Yangtze River. After returning to Beijing, he was immediately put in high regard by the emperor. It was King Xuan's power that he took over.

And Dongming Ziyu went to the battlefield at the age of eight and nine, fought hard in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and made great achievements in battle. However, the emperor was always on guard, taking advantage and suppressing at the same time.

The Hao family was wiped out, and Queen Hao died unjustly in the cold palace. Although she was rehabilitated, what's the use of dying?

Originally, King Xuan had been relieved of all his duties, but when it was his turn to send an envoy to Beiling in the middle of winter, he still took the initiative.

They are both princes and princes, so why are they so different?

Feeling the changes in everyone's gazes, King Li glanced at Shangguan Ruoli with a sinister look, and said coldly: "Bring the wine jar here and fill it with wine again."

At this time, Prime Minister Xu stepped forward and picked up the wine glass, "If you refuse the Zhuangxing wine given by the Holy Emperor, it is really disrespectful to the Emperor! I will do it for you, thank you King Li!"

Shangguan Ruoli narrowed her eyes, was she telling everyone that she and King Xuan disrespected the emperor?

Mr. Chen, an official from the Ministry of Rites, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to pick up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, His Highness King Li."

Then the two of them drank the wine in the glasses.

Shangguan Ruoli said mockingly: "King Li has asked someone to refill the wine. I wanted to drink the Zhuangxing wine regardless of my body, but Prime Minister Xu came out and rushed to drink the wine. She talked so much nonsense. She was trying to provoke Li.

Is it the brotherhood between the king and King Xuan, or is it slandering King Xuan and disrespecting the emperor?"

Dongming Ziyu said lightly: "It should be both."

"I dare not, I am wronged!" Prime Minister Xu was shocked and turned pale, and knelt down and kowtowed.

King Li frowned and said: "Brother King Xuan, he is just outspoken and talks unintentionally. He is about to leave. Brother King Xuan, please forgive him. After all, he is a trusted minister of my father."

Shangguan Ruoli sneered: "How can an outspoken person get into the position of prime minister? Did King Li admit that his words were right in disguise? Can anyone rely on the trust of the father to talk nonsense and disrupt the public? We husband and wife want to

Dongming braved the bone-breaking cold to go to Beiling as an envoy, how could he still be slandered like this?"

Dongming Ziyu said lightly: "It's better that we don't go."

Shangguan Ruoli immediately said: "That's right, if people with ulterior motives follow us, we don't know what kind of obstacles they will cause behind the scenes. It's not a small thing for us to be affected. If the diplomatic relations between the two countries are damaged and a border war is caused, it will be a big deal.

"

This means to imply to everyone that if something happens, it will be Prime Minister Xu's fault.

King Li did not expect that the two would give up their rivals at this time. He looked murderous and gritted his teeth and said: "The members of the mission are all drawn up by the imperial decree. Are you taking the imperial decree as a joke? Are the heroic words of Princess Xuan just now deceiving people?"

Shangguan Ruoli did not show any weakness, "Is King Li trying to protect the ministers who insulted King Xuan and my concubine? Although King Xuan has relieved himself of all government affairs, he is still the prince after all. Is it possible for a minister to insinuate and slander wantonly? Could it be this book?

Is this what King Li means?"

"You..." Wang Li choked. He couldn't quarrel with Shangguan Ruoli and glared at the troubled Prime Minister Xu.

For a moment, there was silence inside and outside Shili Pavilion, only the whistling wind was mercilessly raging.

Prime Minister Xu was actually sweating on his forehead in the cold wind. He originally wanted to save King Li and step on King Xuan by the way. King Xuan was not good at explaining anyway. He didn't expect that Princess Xuan was so sharp-tongued and iron-tongued.

However, he also went through strong winds and waves, and kowtowed: "I know that I am guilty, but the most important thing is to set off on time. If I miss the auspicious time, it will be unlucky. When I come back from Beiling, the prince and princess will punish me severely!"

You can't come back!

"Let's go!" Dongming Ziyu didn't even think about giving up. He snorted coldly and helped Shangguan Ruoli out of Shili Pavilion.

Shangguan Ruoli said to King Li: "King Li, please report today's events to your father according to the facts, and ask your father to make the decision. Although King Xuan has no power, he cannot be stepped on in the mud. The reason why we endured the humiliation and set off is completely

It’s for the sake of my father and the people of Dongming.”

After saying that, he took Dongming Ziyu's hand and got into the carriage.

Even if she didn't say this, the emperor would have received detailed information. She just told the emperor that King Li and the Prime Minister had joined forces and now they were the only one in power, and the Prime Minister dared to openly slander and suppress King Xuan.

King Li can make the emperor live forever, and he must be using that evil magic himself, just look at the gloomy negative energy on his body.

Would the emperor allow his equally immortal son to wield immense power?
