Just to let Concubine Yun know that she may not be willing yet.
Concubine Yun heard the underlying meaning of Li Luo's words. She was not annoyed and asked calmly: "Did you hear it?"
"heard it."
"Humph, I know what you have in mind, but I'm going to tell you something ugly first. If you don't want to, I won't force you to do it. But don't tell me, you can talk to the Emperor and the Queen Mother yourself."
Li Luo looked at Concubine Yun in surprise, and suddenly realized that there was an ulterior motive in Concubine Yun's words. This was a trap. Li Luo suddenly realized that Concubine Yun was trying to retreat in order to advance, and what she was doing was the Emperor Wanlong's decree. Others didn't know, maybe
She didn't dare to say for sure, but Concubine Yun knew Li Luo's character. If she hadn't taken into account Emperor Wanlong's favor, how could she have turned against Da Gan and Baidao and saved her, the eldest daughter of Su He, who had entanglements with the Demon Sect.
"I won't force you. You have to think clearly on your own. You will definitely give me and the emperor an answer tomorrow." After that, Concubine Yun did not wait for Li Luo to argue, and then said calmly, "Ju Rui, you should take a shower first."
Miss, go and have a rest, I have something to say to His Highness Ninth Prince."
"Yes, Miss Shu, please come with your servant." Ju Rui said softly. Shu Chenyu responded quickly, blushed and followed Ju Rui out of Shangliuting.
Li Luo looked at Shu Chenyu's back, thoughtfully. Concubine Yun moved a few steps lightly, walked to Li Luo's side, quietly watched the two people's retreating backs, and gave an order to everyone outside the pavilion: "You guys
Back off."
Taoist Priest Sansheng bowed his head and drifted away, leaving only Concubine Yun and Li Luo in the pavilion. After a few breaths of silence, Concubine Yun said lightly: "I know what you are thinking." Concubine Yun no longer called herself this palace.
The soft tone sounded in Li Luo's ears, but left a chill in his heart.
"The Shu family can be regarded as a famous family in Dagan, but its reputation has never been very elegant. There are many civil and military officials in the dynasty, and there are many beauties of the right age to be married, but there are a few who dare to marry their own daughters.
You? That’s why I found the Shu family in Baidi City, not to enter the court, but to live in the countryside. This will save you from being dissatisfied, and the Shu family is as rich as the country, so you will need them in the future."
"So thank you so much, ma'am."
Concubine Yun suddenly turned around, with evil eyes, staring at Li Luo coldly, and scolded: "You think this is my idea?"
"It doesn't matter who's idea it is. One of them wants to marry. Why don't they marry into Qiminglou together to save the Ministry of Internal Affairs from having to go through more troubles." Li Luo said calmly.
A hint of murderous intent flashed through Concubine Yun's bright eyes, but after a long time she softened and sighed slightly: "This is what the Queen Mother meant. I already knew that I couldn't hide it from you."
"The Queen Mother wants to give the Li family members a reassurance."
"Humph, you didn't ask for this, so who can you blame?"
"But Miss Shu was chosen by the Empress for Xuan Lou."
"What do you want to say?" Concubine Yun said in a bad tone, aggressively.
"Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knows that Abandoned Building is a place of right and wrong. Mr. Shu is good at dancing. He is not a soldier or an official, but he can still stand. His vision is definitely not bad. Couldn't they see that they betrothed Miss Shu to me?
, is like pushing her into a pit of fire. If a storm arises, how can the Shu family survive alone?"
"You also know that Shu's parents are good at dancing, let alone you. Even if Da Gan changes, it may be just a passing moment for the Shu family. It's better to worry about them than to worry about yourself. Besides, the most dangerous thing is
This place is also the safest place. If the Shu family had no self-confidence, how could they agree to this marriage? As for you, do you think everyone wants to harm you?"
"Haha, the empress is the one in the game. If I am strong, I can defeat all forces. If I show my weakness, I will definitely end up with a group of people attacking me. No need to guess, you and I know it well. Just last night.
, someone wanted to kill me and almost succeeded."
"What!?" Concubine Yun suddenly changed her color and looked at Li Luo in shock. Li Luo smiled and looked at Concubine Yun calmly, trying to tell the truth from Concubine Yun's bright eyes full of surprise and worry.
Did the concubine already know about last night's murder?
After a long time, Concubine Yun withdrew her gaze and sighed: "I can't take care of your affairs anymore, and you don't want me to take care of it, so you can do it yourself."
Li Luo stretched and looked around, wondering how many eyes behind those green trees and red flowers were looking at Shang Liuting.
"It's okay for me to get married, but I have to agree to one condition."
Concubine Yun was silent for a few breaths and said calmly: "You said, if I can do it, I will answer your request."
"Let Gu Liang shed tears into the Li family tree."
Concubine Yun suddenly turned back, clasping her hands together, her knuckles turning slightly white, and asked word by word: "You want her to be the principal concubine?"
Li Luo nodded and said harmoniously: "I owe her."
"Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it, actually I should have done this a few years ago, but I have been putting it off until today, so I might as well do it all at once."
"Do you know that you are threatening the Queen Mother and the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, do you think anyone will still care about this matter now?" Li Luo asked.
"Okay, I will go and talk to the Emperor and Queen Mother."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Concubine Yun turned away and looked into the distance. She didn't know what she was thinking. Her beautiful face was dimming and brightening, and she seemed to be filled with hatred and joy. They were intertwined together, making it impossible to guess the thoughts of this woman who was the mother of the world.
"I heard that you sent people to bring back a mirror, flower, water and moon from Chengyun Palace?"
"yes."
"The craftsman who carved the reference stand died unexpectedly?"
"good."
"Did you find anything?"
"No clue yet."
"Where's the inspection stand?"
"Smashed."
"Smashed?"
"Well, I just smashed it yesterday."
Concubine Yun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why did you smash the examination table?"
"If you can't keep it, smash it."
"What's on the inspection table?"
Li Luo smiled softly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Why did the empress suddenly ask about this matter?"
"Just a casual question." After finishing speaking, Concubine Yun seemed to think this answer was too perfunctory, and continued, "It is not a good sign that someone died before the Chengyun Palace was completed. Your Ninth Prince, please be more careful and find the real culprit as soon as possible."
"The inspector will do his best to capture the real culprit as soon as possible. However, I don't need to take it too seriously if it's bad luck. As long as no one has died in any newly built palace."
"Yes, I understand." Concubine Yun responded lazily, looking a little tired. Li Luo took the opportunity to leave, but Concubine Yun did not persuade him to stay and let Li Luo leave the palace on his own.
After turning around a few clusters of grass and trees, I turned back and the fashionable willow pavilion was already submerged behind the green willows. Occasionally, I picked out a section of overhanging eaves, which was suddenly covered by willow branches again.
Li Luo let out a breath. Concubine Yun finally asked, and the question was very casual. There was indeed nothing on the examination table, except for the paintings carved by the Tian family and his son and some unfinished, rather messy lines. Li Luo did not tell
