An attendant beside Xiao Zhumo was furious and stepped forward to argue.
The Duke's wife didn't like him, so she raised her hand, stepped forward and slapped him with two big mouths.
"Master hasn't spoken yet. Does a dog slave have the right to speak to you? Get lost."
The attendant staggered after being beaten by the Duke's wife, covered his face and retreated behind Xiao Zhumo.
The Duke held his fists and saluted.
"Prince Zhao, my wife has been a bit tempered recently. I would like to ask you, Prince Zhao, to have a lot of food and don't argue with my wife."
The Duke and his wife cooperated tacitly and sang the double act very well.
One has a black face and one has a white face.
The children on the side were dumbfounded.
Xiao Zhumo could not blame him even though he had a mouth to speak. After all, he was the elder, so he was the one who did the wrong thing first.
"Your Majesty is serious. It's because I didn't think well. But this time I came to visit you in compliance with my father's order and sincerely apologized."
Yo! Move the emperor out.
The Duke is not a vegetarian either.
"Old minister, I would like to thank you for your consideration, but the prince is the prince's grandson and has a noble status. I really don't dare to be the prince, so I apologize. Please ask the prince to come back."
On the side, the Duke’s wife looked worried:
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that your name is on the letter of separation. It is also an imperial edict issued by the Emperor himself. I also ask Your Majesty not to pester my daughter again."
"From now on, Prince Zhao's Mansion and Duke Yiguo's Mansion will walk toward the sky, each walking on one side. I, Prince Zhao, would like to marry whose daughter I, the Prince of Yiguo, would like to send my blessings to, and whose son my daughter would like to marry, please don't ask Prince Zhao."
Making small moves behind the scenes."
Xiao Zhumo's teeth hurt from being ridiculed by the couple, but his father had an order not to allow him to be rude to the Duke and his wife, let alone say excessive words to Luo Jiuli.
What's more, after he got rid of the love poison and the charm spell and regained consciousness, he knew that the feud between him and the Duke's Mansion was finally over.
But now that the battle for the throne has not yet been decided, the Duke's words still have some weight in the court and even in front of his father, and he does not want his relationship with the Duke's government to become incompatible.
"I have remembered the words of the Duke and his wife. However, I have come here today to sincerely apologize to Li'er. All the previous incidents are all the reasons why I fell under the poison of love and charm. It is not
It comes from my king’s original intention, please—”
"snort!"
Luo Jiuli sneered.
"In order to gain benefits, His Highness Prince Zhao is willing to put down his dignity and blurt out unintentional words again and again. Isn't it disgusting for His Highness?"
Xiao Zhumo was surprised. He didn't expect Luo Jiuli to speak so aggressively.
What's more, she didn't expect that she would refer to His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, obviously wanting to completely draw a clear line with him.
"What? Is His Royal Highness Prince Zhao surprised? Or, from the beginning to the end, the prince feels that he is not wrong, and that you were controlled by Yan Tinglian's love poison and charm, so you did those unscrupulous things.
Something outrageous?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Zhao may have forgotten that when the Ninth Prince and the Sang Nan Kingdom fought against each other, Sang Nan Kingdom pretended to surrender. When the Princess of Sang Nan Kingdom negotiated with the Ninth Prince, she also used charms on the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince was not bewitched by her.
Instead, he cracked it and even beheaded the princess on the spot."
"Xiao Zhumo, the Ninth Prince can break the spell of charm, why can't you break it?
Luo Jiuli smiled sarcastically.
"Do you think that if you stand at the gate of our government today and say an apology, everything in the past will disappear?"
Xiao Zhumo clenched his fists tightly, his eyebrows were clear and stern, and he suppressed the anger bursting out of his heart.
Luo Jiuli has changed, she has become sharp-tongued, she has become independent, she has become brighter, and she has become more beautiful than before. The change made him feel strange towards her while being angry.
"Li'er? This king——"
"Your Majesty, please shut up."
Luo Jiuli didn't give him a chance to speak at all. Since the emperor was suppressing him behind his back, today there would be revenge and injustice for injustice.
"I have made peace with you, and you have no right to call me Li'er, not before and never in the future."
"What are you thinking about? You know better than anyone else. Don't come to our government to disgust people."
"You want my forgiveness, bah! You deserve it too."
"Get out of here, as far away as you can."
"Luo-jiu-li."
Xiao Zhumo was completely angered by her. He could accept the verbal ridicule from the Duke and his wife. After all, they were elders.
But he couldn't accept that a woman who was younger than him, a woman who was once dependent on him, a woman who once looked up to him, would humiliate him in public.
What's more, he is a prince and a prince.
Luo Jiuli, a little legitimate second daughter of the Duke's family, is simply shameless.
He has already apologized, what else does she want?
"Luo Jiuli, be so bold. Don't think of yourself as so noble. A woman who has lost all her innocence is pregnant with a child that is not my king's. She still doesn't know how to restrain herself from speaking so wildly."
"Prince Zhao, you are so slanderous."
On the side, Luo Yuanliang's eyes widened, he raised his fist, and punched Xiao Zhumo's abdomen unceremoniously. He punched with all his strength, causing Xiao Zhumo to frown and groan.
It hurts.
"Yuan Liang."
The Duke's wife and the Duke did not expect that their eldest son would actually attack King Zhao, and they were both shocked.
Even Luo Jiuqing and Pei Tingsong came forward together and grabbed Luo Yuanliang.
"Brother, calm down."
Luo Yuanjia also stepped forward to stand in front of Luo Yuanliang, drawing the flames of war onto himself and quarreling at King Zhao.
"Prince Zhao, you are so heartless and unjust. We put our trust in your hands in vain. This is how you treated my little sister. You used lynchings and beat your first wife. You almost let my little sister die."
In your Prince Zhao's Mansion."
"Now, you are still slandering others to slander my little sister's innocence."
"Second brother."
Luo Jiuli took Luo Yuanjia's arm and signaled him not to speak.
Xiao Zhumo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Luo Yuanjia sadly.
"Whether this king has slandered Luo Jiuli's innocence, Luo Jiuli knows it in his heart."
As he said that, he looked through Luo Yuanjia at Luo Yuanliang behind him.
"Luo Yuanliang, do you know that it is against the law to beat a relative of the emperor?"
He didn't believe that when a little general beat the prince, his father would stand by and watch.
The Duke's wife's face froze. Just now in the palace, she repeatedly warned the two brothers not to do anything. One was a junior general and the other was a white man. Under the imperial power, their status could not compete with that of King Zhao.
Just when everyone was frightened by Xiao Zhumo's threat, they saw a carriage suddenly stop at the door of the Duke's Mansion, the door opened, and a person stepped out of the carriage.
"Nine Princes."
When the people in the Duke's Mansion saw the Ninth Prince, they all knelt down as if they had seen a savior.
