She was cautious and did not dare to address the prince directly.
The visitor did not reveal his identity immediately, but maintained the same movement, seeming to be staring at Luo Jiuli.
Luo Jiuli's scalp was numb, and he calmly summoned the scalpel from the ancient ring space.
The names of those 'enemies' ran through my mind over and over again. Was it Xiao Zhumo? Sun Ting? Hu Bingyu? Or someone sent by Da Sima? Or Concubine Hu? Could it be the Queen Mother?
"I ask again, who are you?"
The person in front of the bed still didn't speak.
Luo Jiuli was anxious, and the sharp scalpel was slowly withdrawing from her sleeve.
Opposite me, the man saw her body put on guard, knowing that this girl was probably in a hurry.
"it's me!"
The voice was low, with a hint of domineering evil charm.
When Luo Jiuli heard this familiar voice, his nerves suddenly relaxed, he put away the scalpel, his tone was angry and aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, since it's you, why don't you reveal your identity early on?"
It made her nervous for nothing.
The lantern outside the window was not very bright, and Xiao Mingxuan was facing her. She could not see the expression on his face clearly, but she could feel that Xiao Mingxuan seemed to be smiling.
He knelt down and moved closer to the bed. Looking at Luo Jiuli, who was wrapped in the quilt like a kitten with an unhappy look on his face, he felt very cute.
But when he thought of what Xing Xiyan had stormed into the house and told him during the day, anger suddenly welled up in his eyes.
"Li'er."
He hugged her with the quilt in his arms.
"I just want to see if you are vigilant. Fortunately, Li'er never forgets the danger and is always cautious."
"As for what happened during the day, I have sent people to track down his whereabouts."
Luo Jiuli was trapped in his arms, slightly startled, and immediately understood what he meant.
"Does the prince already know?"
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"How do you want to deal with him? Should he be executed directly or have his legs cut off?"
Luo Jiuli hid the smile at the corner of his mouth and snorted softly.
"Leave it to the government."
Xiao Mingxuan didn't say anything. Rather than leaving it to the government, he preferred to deal with the person directly to avoid future troubles.
However, even if it is handed over to the government, Sun Ting will not live long.
"My lord, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking, how did King Zhao know that you went to Yilanxiang?"
"Your Majesty suspects that King Zhao is spying on me?"
"It's possible."
Xiao Mingxuan's tone was indifferent.
"I will send someone to investigate this matter, so you can rest assured."
"Um."
Luo Jiuli didn't want to mention King Zhao and silently rested his head on his chest.
"Why did the prince remember to come to see me at night?"
Seeing how gentle and gentle she was, the anger in Xiao Mingxuan's heart gradually dissipated, and he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
"I am too busy during the day, so in order not to attract the attention of my future mother-in-law, I can only come secretly at night."
"Li'er."
"Did you think of me."
"Do you like the Floating Light Brocade I asked Qin Yin to send over during the day?"
Luo Jiuli nodded and pulled back the quilt. He had already changed into a brocade dress.
"Put me down."
Xiao Mingxuan let go of his arms.
Luo Jiuli stood up and jumped out of bed. Every time she moved, her skirt shed a flowing sheen, her beauty and elegance were unattainable.
"I only wear this dress for the prince, no one else is worthy of it."
In fact, it's not that she's unworthy, it's that she can't wear the brocade to the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Today, she learned from her mother that the former harem had already been divided into factions.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor are not as loving as mothers and filial piety as the outside world sees them.
The emperor and his concubine are not as graceful as the people say.
The emperor and the queen were not as deeply in love as outsiders said.
Even the marriage between the original owner and King Zhao was a game between the interests of all parties.
But no one would have thought that a special person, Yan Tinglian, would appear on the way.
He never thought that after the death of the original owner, she would come back through time, and in a state of consciousness or even a fatal blow, she would reconcile with King Zhao, causing a huge chaos for the Queen Mother.
There is also Xiao Mingxuan, although he has the emperor's trust, the Queen Mother, Hu Guifei, Da Sima, the Prime Minister who has been hiding in the dark and keeping a low profile, the Queen who looks at humans and animals harmlessly, and the princes who always respect him as the emperor's uncle
, prince.
Which one is the most fuel-efficient lamp?
Xiao Mingxuan didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, so he stretched out his hand to hold Luo Jiuli's hand, looked down at the glittering brocade on her body that was worth tens of thousands of gold, and was warmed by the appropriate words, and suddenly felt that the money was worth spending.
"Okay, from now on you will only wear it for me to see."
The two of them intertwined their fingers.
"I heard from Qin Wu that your mother hired someone from Yunshao Mansion to teach you how to play music?"
Luo Jiuli smiled.
"So what? The prince jumped over the wall at night and broke into the boudoir at night. Is he here to punish me?"
"No, I'm just here to tell you, don't waste your time on those people."
As soon as Luo Jiuli heard this, he knew that he would never let him do something he didn't like.
"It's obviously just a palace banquet, because the Queen Mother likes to be lively, watch dancing and listen to music. Seeing how busy these noble ladies are, she wishes she could turn herself into Chang'e."
Xiao Mingxuan couldn't help but chuckle, bent down and rested his head on her shoulder, whispering.
"This is because the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The Queen Mother was attracted by the late emperor because of her original red makeup dance at the palace banquet."
"What! Is there such a thing?"
Why didn't her mother ever tell her about it?
It seems that at that time, the Queen Mother must have bent her slender waist and took small steps, showing her bright wrists on the gauze, creating a unique dance that was unprecedented, so how could she not attract the late emperor.
Xiao Mingxuan nodded and stretched out his big hand to touch her cheek:
"So, I, Xiao Mingxuan's woman, don't need to be so opportunistic."
"Except for those women who make a living from this, letting noble ladies practice singing, dancing, and posing on stage is nothing more than men satisfying their perverted desires."
Luo Jiuli did not expect that Xiao Mingxuan would be so transparent. In this era, women were men's accessories. Except for the main wife who came to the door in a sedan chair, concubines could be given away or sold at will.
It is conceivable that if it were not for the fact that she had a father who was a Duke, her status as the legitimate second daughter of the Duke, and Xiao Mingxuan's secret help.
I'm afraid, how sad will her divorce be?
"what's on your mind?"
Xiao Mingxuan lowered his head and bit her lip with a hint of punishment.
"I am right in front of you, how dare you get distracted."
Luo Jiuli was bitten by him, and his lips felt numb and painful.
"Your Majesty came here late at night just to tell me this?"
Seeing her eyes flashing, Xiao Mingxuan lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek again. His dark eyes were full of spring, showing a faint brilliance.
"No, it's because I miss you and want to see you."
"Since our last farewell at Tianxiang Tower, I have been busy with matters in the palace and have not had the chance to meet you. If Qin Wu hadn't told me this time, your mother—"
