Li Luo was speechless. He didn't know whether to be embarrassed, disgusted or blaming. He could only look at Concubine Yun with a blank mind.
Although there was no one else in the side hall, the walls had ears. Concubine Yun was not afraid at all, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
After a long time, Concubine Yun said harmoniously: "The tea is cold."
Li Luo lowered his head and glanced at the tea cup in his hand. Some of the tea spilled and wet his sleeves.
Concubine Yun said indifferently: "I thought you would scold me and walk away. You are better than a sanctimonious hypocrite."
Concubine Yun spilled the tea in the cup on the ground, replaced it with a cup of warm tea, and said lightly: "I have a lot of time." The implication was that Li Luo had no time to drink tea here to rest his mind. If Concubine Yun stood by and watched, Li Luo would
How can we turn things around here?
Li Luo gently put down his tea cup, smiled lightly and said, "I met brother Wan Ce and his wife in Alliance City."
"Oh, really?" Concubine Yun looked at Li Luo with some sarcasm, maybe she wanted to use the friendship between He Su and Wan Ce to blackmail her.
"Brother Wan Ce is very good, and he and Miss Luo are a perfect couple."
"so what?"
"I don't want you to give up something you don't want to give up. I just ask you not to be my enemy."
Concubine Yun paused, anger emerged in her eyes, and she glared at Li Luo bitterly.
Li Luo stood up, exhaled a breath, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Li Luo, please see your Majesty." His voice came clearly into the Bichen Pavilion, steadily drowning out the flirting and scolding sounds in the pavilion.
There was a sudden pause in the soft words, and the quiet sound of a needle dropping in Bichenxuan could be heard.
Concubine Yun's chest rose and fell, and she stared at Li Luo coldly.
After a while, a noise was heard coming from the pavilion, and Emperor Wanlong shouted happily: "Lou'er is back, come in quickly, haha, you're back just in time."
Concubine Yun asked coldly: "Since you have this method, why did you leave here just now?"
Li Luo and Nuan looked at Concubine Yun calmly and said nothing.
Concubine Yun was stunned for a moment and tried to cover up the anger in her heart. Maybe Li Luo was waiting to say these words to her.
The hurried footsteps of the palace servants were heard outside the side hall. Concubine Yun's expression calmed down and she sat at the table quietly and comfortably.
The person who came this time was Mi Cangqiong. When he saw Li Luo and Concubine Yun alone in the side hall, he was slightly startled and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, Prince Xuan, has come to see you."
Li Luo looked at Mi Cangqiong calmly and said harmoniously: "Eunuch Mi, you and I are not the same people after all."
Mi Cangqiong paused for a moment and fell silent, pretending not to understand what he meant.
Concubine Yun looked at Li Luo and Mi Cangqiong with great interest, showed a hint of playful smile, stood up and left Bichenxuan, and did not follow Li Luo in.
Li Luo entered the Bichen Pavilion, and all the concubines in the harem had avoided it. Emperor Wanlong was still lying lazily in the pool. There were water stains on the ground, and there were some clothes of the concubines that he had not taken away in time.
"You Xuanlou, why did you go to Dongfu for so long and didn't even tell me when you came back?"
Li Luo bowed respectfully and replied harmoniously: "Your Majesty, Xuanlou just came back to Zhuocheng today."
"It's good to come back. I heard Prince Rangsi say, how about it, everything in Shangfu in the East Mansion is finished?"
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."
"Haha, okay, it is indeed my building. Come, come, sit down and say, there are no outsiders here." Emperor Wanlong laughed heartily.
Li Luo sat down on the stone beside the pool. Emperor Wanlong seemed to have forgotten that he had to kill Yang Wanli elsewhere, and started chatting with Li Luo.
After a moment, Li Luo coughed lightly and said harmoniously: "Your Majesty, Xuanlou rushed into the palace recklessly this time because he actually wanted to ask for something."
Emperor Wanlong waved his hand and said with a big smile: "If there is anything else you want to ask me for personally, please tell me."
"Your Majesty, Xuanlou is here for Uncle Zong Yang Wanli."
Emperor Wanlong was startled, and then he remembered today's execution of Yang Wanli. He sat up from the water, looked at Li Luo attentively and said: "If you don't tell me, I really forgot about this matter. Lou'er, this matter is not my fault."
I'll speak to the inspection department for you, but Yang Wanli did something rebellious and I had to punish him, so you won't blame me, right?"
"How dare I blame the emperor? It's just that Mr. Yang is Xuanlou's right-hand man. Xuanlou's request is not that the emperor pardon Mr. Yang's death penalty. He just wants to ask the emperor to give Xuanlou seven days. After seven days, whether he is alive or dead
Xuanlou has nothing to say, and Xuanlou gives an explanation to the inspection department."
Emperor Wanlong pondered for a long time and said: "Xuanlou, Uncle Zong forced King Xiaofu to death. I can't tolerate this matter no matter what. If Yang Wanli is not killed, I am afraid that the inspection department that you and I have worked so hard to run will also be in vain."
.
The officials in the imperial court are very critical, and I can't bear to be disturbed these days. Moreover, this matter was personally instructed by the Queen Mother, so I have to take care of the harem and our Li family."
"Xuanlou understands that he has indeed put the emperor in a difficult position. Although it is a merciless request, Mr. Yang is loyal to the emperor and the country and upholds his integrity. Xuanlou dares to guarantee it with his life. He has worked hard over the years without any complaints. There is hard work even if there is no merit. I hope the emperor will learn from it.
"
"I understand your painstaking efforts. When the Imperial Army escorted Yang Wanli that day, I learned that you gave one of the two death-free money orders to Yang Wanli. However, Yang Wanli did not use the death-free money order to save his life, but handed the death-free money order to him.
Given this place to a soldier of the Forbidden Army, I don't believe he would have any rebellious intentions.
It’s just that the evidence in this case is conclusive. It was indeed Yang Wanli who made an oversight first, and Prince Xiaofu was innocently wronged. This incident shocked everyone in the royal family. Even if I wanted to speak for the Inspection Department, I would be powerless."
"Xuanlou understands the emperor's difficulty. It's just that Xuanlou has just returned to Zhuocheng. He hasn't even had time to say a few words to Master Yang before he has to be separated. As a result, Xuanlou may lose his trust with the Inspection Department, and it will be difficult to convince everyone in the future.
.
Xuanlou is asking for selfish reasons. He also asks the emperor to give Xuanlou seven more days, so that Xuanlou can manage the inspection department. As for life or death after seven days, Xuanlou is willing to serve as the prisoner regardless of the emperor's decree.
cut."
Emperor Wanlong thought solemnly and was speechless for a long time, "Is seven days enough?"
"I will do my best. I don't seek to absolve Mr. Yang. I just hope that Mr. Yang can feel at ease so that I can also feel at ease."
"Okay." Emperor Wanlong shouted deeply and said, "Seven days is seven days. Since Xuanlou personally asked for mercy, wouldn't I be too unkind if I didn't even give you seven days? In my opinion, I might as well give it to you.
Give it ten days, and you can take care of the aftermath yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Ten days is too many. Xuanlou is afraid that there will be another disturbance in the court. Seven days is enough. In fact, there is not much difference between seven days and ten days."
"That's it, come on."
"The villain is here." Mi Cangqiong walked in from the outside, bowed and waited for the holy order.
"Go to the execution ground and announce the decree. The execution of Yang Wanli will be postponed for seven days. After seven days, another decree will be issued. There must be no mistake."
