The Queen and the Emperor looked at Luo Jiuli at the same time.
"Buddha's Tears are a poisonous weed that grows in large swamps and is rarely found in the capital."
"There is a proverb in the world, and everyone knows the word "Buddhism." The Buddha's tears are like arsenic, which can't be tolerated."
"It can be seen that the toxicity of Buddha's tears is as toxic as arsenic."
On the side, the emperor heard this and clenched his fists tightly.
The queen was a little surprised and said sadly:
"Who is he? He dared to assassinate the current prince and used such vicious methods."
Luo Jiuli was silent.
She is only responsible for rescuing people. As for catching assassins, she is not stupid enough to express any opinions in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked at Xiao Mingxuan, who was lying on the bed with weak breathing. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about. After a while, he raised his head and waved to Eunuch Qi beside him.
Eunuch Qi understood the idea and walked out of the house. Not long after, several palace maids and eunuchs filed in, put down various rewards and all left.
"Luo Jiuli."
The emperor looked at Luo Jiuli.
"My daughter is here."
"You have done a good job in saving the Ninth Prince, and these are all rewards given to you."
Luo Jiuli really didn't like the rule of kneeling and kowtow, so he had no choice but to bow.
"My maid, thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand.
According to the decree of the Queen Mother of Da Sima, she brought people to the Nine Princes' Mansion to treat the Nine Kings. He already knew about this matter. However, Luo Jiuli was able to save the face of the Nine Kings by himself without fear of Da Sima's threats and power.
Looking at the whole capital, there are only a few people who can do it. Even the powerful officials in the court may have to do it in vain.
But what he didn't expect was that the Queen Mother's Che Luan was still halfway there, and the news in the capital was quite well-informed.
As for the intentions of the Empress Dowager and Da Sima, the Emperor's heart was awe-inspiring, but his face was calm.
"That's all, the Nine Kings are not awake yet, so you can't leave the Nine Princes' Mansion."
"As for your mother, you can rest assured that your father and your eldest brother have returned to Beijing and will wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival before returning to the army."
Luo Jiuli didn't care what the emperor rewarded her, but when she heard that her father and eldest brother had returned home, her face was filled with shock.
The emperor understood as soon as he saw her expression.
"What? The Nine Kings didn't tell you?"
Luo Jiuli was confused and shook his head slowly.
When her father and eldest brother return to Beijing, do they have anything to do with the Ninth Prince?
The emperor said nothing more, looked deeply at Luo Jiuli, and then stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has returned to the palace."
Outside the door, the little eunuch sang in harmony, his voice neither high nor low, enough for the imperial guards outside the house to listen to the order.
People all over the courtyard knelt down to send the Emperor and the Queen back to the palace.
Luo Jiuli knelt on the ground and murmured in her heart. The emperor and empress came and left like a gust of wind. Is it just to see the "unconscious" Nine Kings, or to tell her that her father
I returned to Beijing with my eldest brother.
She, the Duke of Yiguo, has such a great reputation?
After seeing off the emperor and queen, Luo Jiuli hurried back to the house.
At this time, Xiao Mingxuan had already opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor said, my father and eldest brother have returned to Beijing?"
Xiao Mingxuan nodded, looking at the smile on her lips, he felt relieved.
As long as she is happy, no matter how much effort he makes, it will be worth it.
"Is it the prince's intention to let my father and eldest brother return to Beijing for the festival?"
Luo Jiuli looked at him, his eyebrows softening slightly.
"I, the king, am just giving a memorial."
On August 15th, the family was supposed to be reunited, but he dominated her and couldn't let her leave. He had to do something for her.
"I heard that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty stationed troops on the frontier. Will my father and eldest brother return to Beijing at this time-"
"Won't."
Xiao Mingxuan reassured her.
"The border has its own people to guard it. Your father and eldest brother are currently only responsible for training troops in Liyang. Besides, with the emperor's will, no one dares to criticize you, so you can rest assured."
Luo Jiuli nodded, feeling happy.
"My mother will be very happy to see my father and eldest brother come back."
The Duke of Guo left Beijing five days after the wedding of the original owner and Prince Zhao. It is better to say that he left Beijing because he was angry with his daughter. He left Beijing for more than half a year and now he finally returned to Beijing.
"But there is one thing I don't understand. The emperor came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He didn't even ask about the seriousness of the prince's injury. Didn't the emperor come to find out whether the prince was injured or poisoned? Is it to reward me? Tell my father and eldest brother to return to Beijing for the holidays.
This matter?"
"I don't think I'm that shameless, right?"
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her and said sincerely.
"You guessed it right, you do have such a great reputation."
"Ah! My lord, please don't interfere with me."
Xiao Mingxuan smiled lightly.
"Your Majesty knows that the Queen Mother came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion with the Emperor's decree. He also knows that you gambled with the Lord Sima for my sake and hurt yourself. He even knows that you used the Emperor's imperial decree to suppress the Queen Mother's decree."
"You! Not only did you save my face, but you also greatly suppressed Da Sima's arrogance. The emperor may not be happy about it."
Luo Jiuli: This is going the wrong way! Concubine Hu is the daughter of Da Sima. The emperor loves Concubine Hu, and Da Sima is the father-in-law of the country. She made the father-in-law half angry to death, and the emperor even rewarded her.
The Queen Mother is the emperor's mother, but she used the imperial edict to suppress the Queen Mother's decree. The emperor did not blame her, but was quite happy.
Since ancient times, there have been many disputes in the royal family. I am afraid that she has not discovered the secrets behind this royal family.
Xiao Mingxuan saw her lowering her head and remaining silent. He knew what her delicate and exquisite heart was thinking about.
"Luo Jiuli."
"What?"
Luo Jiuli was startled and looked up at him.
"Come here."
He waved to her, his eyebrows became softer and softer, and his eyes seemed to be filled with stars, as if he wanted to say a thousand words to her.
Luo Jiuli walked slowly to the bed.
Xiao Mingxuan also sat up and patted the place beside him.
"Sit down, I have something to say to you."
Luo Jiuli sat next to him, feeling the bed where his body heat still remained.
Xiao Mingxuan stretched out his hand, holding her wrist with one hand, and slowly stroking the wound bitten by the poisonous snake on the outside of her palm with the other hand. There was cruelty towards Hu Jue and distress for Luo Jiuli in his eyes.
"Does it still hurt?"
Being bitten by a venomous snake will cause severe pain in the wound, which is unbearable even for a grown man.
Luo Jiuli shook his head.
"It doesn't hurt. After the venomous snake bit me, I immediately injected antivenom."
"Antivenom? What is that?"
"An antidote that neutralizes the venom of venomous snakes."
"I feel sorry for you. If something like this happens again in the future, please leave me alone. Your safety is more important than anything else."
He pursed his lips and lowered his head, looking at her with a pair of deep black eyes, with strong emotions surging in his eyes.
He had an urge to hold her tightly in his arms, kiss her thoroughly, and embed her into his body.
