Luo Jiuli's slender body was held tightly by Xiao Mingxuan, and her broad chest became her real safe haven at this moment.
"My lord, my wrist hurts."
Luo Jiuli stretched out her hand, with a circle of red marks on her fair wrist, and her voice was so artificial that she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
Sure enough! White Lotus is not such an easy person to be.
Xiao Mingxuan listened to her delicate voice and looked at her wrists with red marks. Only gloomy anger remained on her dignified and indifferent face.
"Get on the carriage, and I will seek justice for you."
With that said, he asked Nan Xing and Nan Zhu to help her get into the car.
"No, I want the prince to accompany me."
Luo Jiuli leaned in his arms. Although she wanted to see with her own eyes what happened to King Zhao after he was tortured, she also understood the principle of giving up when things get better.
Xiao Mingxuan was summoned by the emperor just for her and the Duke's palace. At this time, there really shouldn't be any extraneous matters.
"Okay, let's get back to the car."
One of them beat the lady of Sima Mansion, and the other beat the emperor's biological son, but they turned around and walked away as if they didn't recognize their relatives.
The baby-faced man and the sickly white bunny girl who had witnessed the whole process stood aside blankly.
They looked at each other, blinked, and couldn't help but blink again.
The baby-faced man raised his hand and pulled his face hard. It did feel a little painful, and then he raised his head in a daze.
"Isn't this king dreaming?"
The sickly little white rabbit girl also shook her head as if she was awake from a dream.
"Cousin is not dreaming."
"It seems that the rumors in the capital are true, more true than the pearl."
The baby-faced man slowly looked towards Xiao Zhumo, who was standing in front, covering his chest, with blood still remaining on the corners of his mouth, and staring at the carriage of the Ninth Prince's Mansion not far away.
"Did Luo Jiuli do it on purpose, just to frame the fault on his second brother in front of Uncle Nine Emperors?"
This kind of White Lotus's strategy is really hard to describe, but it seems that the Nine Emperors Uncle really pretended that he was blind and knocked his second brother away with one palm?
He felt that he needed to be quiet.
The woman named Luo Jiuli needs to be re-examined.
On the side, Hu Yiyi's eyes were red with hatred, and the handkerchief in his hand was about to be shattered. His face did not hide his hatred for Luo Jiuli.
"You bastard bitch, bitch--"
"Miss Hu Er, I advise you to think carefully before proceeding. If you don't want to be beaten again, you'd better shut your mouth."
Nan Zhu could not stand this noble girl who always spoke dirty words, and looked at Hu Hanyu with disdain.
"As the second young lady of the Sima Mansion, one of the most noble ladies in the capital, she talks about the word bitch every day. Miss Hu Er is so well-educated!"
"If Miss Hu Er really has a big opinion against my master, then she can explain it clearly in person and face to face. If she speaks bad words every day, she won't be afraid of backlash."
Nan Zhu opened fire. After firing, he didn't give Hu Hanyu a chance to speak. He pulled Nan Xing and turned around to chase the carriage.
After walking a long way, you could still hear Hu Hanyu's strangled screams behind her, and Xiao Zhumo's stern voice scolding her to stop.
In the carriage, Luo Jiuli leaned against Xiao Mingxuan, smiling so brightly and comfortably.
"Nan Zhu is really good. I will give her a big reward when I return home."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her proud smile and shook his head helplessly.
"Does your wrist still hurt?"
When he left the palace, he saw that Luo Jiuli did it on purpose, but so what, King Zhao should be beaten if he touched her.
Luo Jiuli shook his head and looked up at him.
"Your Majesty is not angry?"
"Why are you angry?"
"Because the prince saw that I did it on purpose?"
Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows.
"Shouldn't you?"
Luo Jiuli was stunned, not understanding what he meant.
"What shouldn't I?"
He circled her wrist.
"You shouldn't let King Zhao touch you."
Luo Jiuli: Is her prince jealous?
"It was the lunatic Prince Zhao who suddenly grabbed my wrist, and then I saw the prince leaving the palace gate."
Xiao Mingxuan didn't speak, but his tightly pursed lips showed his master's gloomy mood, as if he had been wronged in some way.
In his heart, Luo Jiuli was already his, and every part of his body and mind belonged to him.
You cannot be touched by other men, let alone coveted by other men.
Luo Jiuli sighed, raised his head and kissed his cheek.
"In the future, when I see that lunatic King Zhao again, I will stay away from him to prevent him from having a chance to meet me."
"Actually, if you don't tell me, my lord, I also hate and resent King Ying Zhao's touch. It's so disgusting."
It's really disgusting to be touched by a stallion.
Xiao Mingxuan finally softened his expression and put his arm around her shoulders.
"If he offends you from now on, he won't show mercy. If he gets injured or disabled, I will support you."
Luo Jiuli burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty, if you pamper me like this, aren't you afraid that one day I will become arrogant due to your pampering?"
"Don't be afraid. Only if you are arrogant will you not be bullied."
Luo Jiuli: There is nothing wrong with that.
"Your Majesty, who are the baby-faced men and women who were with Prince Zhao, Hu Hanyu, Lu Xiyun and the others just now?"
"How come I've never seen this before?"
Xiao Mingxuan said:
"That is Prince Ping, Concubine Shu's son, and that woman is Concubine Shu's niece."
"oh."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"It turns out he is also a prince, so no wonder he would be with Prince Zhao and the others."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her.
"I was about to ask you, aren't you at home with your mother and sister? Why did you come to the palace gate?"
Luo Jiuli curled his lips.
"Qin Yin said that the prince was summoned to the palace by the emperor. I was afraid that the emperor would blame you for the prince leaving the palace without authorization, so I wanted to enter the palace to find out the truth. If the emperor really blamed me, then I should be blamed, not
Your Majesty."
"I just didn't expect that the guard guarding the palace gate said that I, a courtier's female family member, was not allowed to enter the palace without the emperor's order, so I was stopped outside the palace gate."
When Xiao Mingxuan heard this, his heart felt really warm.
"So you came after me because you were worried about me."
"Um."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"What if? If there are no special circumstances in this palace, I would not want to enter it?"
Xiao Mingxuan rubbed her hair.
"It's hard for you."
"Did the Emperor give the prince any hard time?"
She looked at him, her eyes full of worry.
Xiao Mingxuan shook his head.
"Don't worry, there's nothing difficult for me."
"Then why did the emperor summon the prince? Is it because of Hu Bingyu's affairs?"
"no."
Xiao Mingxuan's expression was a little colder.
"It's about the border. The envoys for the negotiations have arrived at the border. It is estimated that there should be definite news in a few days."
Luo Jiuli frowned and sighed heavily.
"Is war really inevitable?"
"Once a war breaks out, the people who suffer the most are the people. In the chaos of war, the people not only have to avoid the war, because they can't farm due to the war, but they also have to endure hunger."
