Chapter 292 The big brother of the Luo family has returned to Beijing
"Your Majesty, what, what is that?"
If the palace maid behind her hadn't been biting her lip, she might have fainted.
Inside the box, a female corpse was seen in a terrifying and extremely twisted shape, with her pale head facing upwards.
With just one glance, Concubine Hu could tell that the female corpse was Qiu Lian, the maid of instruction who was chosen by the Queen Mother and sent to the Nine Princes' Mansion.
At that moment, Concubine Hu clearly felt a cold air coming from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She was so cold that her whole body became stiff and her blood almost solidified.
She clutched the palace maid's arm tightly and almost said the words through her teeth:
"Where is Marquis Chongyang?"
At this time, Marquis Chongyang was not in Changchun Palace.
If he were here, how could he let such a dirty thing enter the palace?
"Returning to the concubine, the Marquis has escorted Princess Mingxin back to Prince An's Mansion on the orders of the Queen Mother. She has not returned to the palace at this time."
"Then go and invite the emperor."
"yes."
The guards did not expect that there would be another mystery in this wooden box, nor did they expect that the Ninth Prince would be so careless.
——
Changchun Palace was turned upside down because of Qiulian's corpse.
The Nine Princes' Mansion was filled with joy because of the arrival of one person.
"Brother."
Luo Jiuli didn't even wear the white fox fur, so he couldn't wait to run out.
"Little sister."
This was the first time Luo Yuanliang saw his little sister a few months after leaving Beijing last time.
The brother and sister were almost familiar with each other and hugged each other at the same time.
"Brother, you are finally back."
"I'm back. When I come back this time, I won't leave, I won't leave."
Luo Yuanliang patted her back comfortingly.
Behind the two brothers and sisters, there was a suppressed coughing sound.
Luo Yuanliang looked up and saw the Ninth Prince, whom he had not seen for a long time, holding a white fox fur in one hand and pressing it to his lips with the other, staring at his hand with a puzzled expression.
"Nine Princes."
Luo Yuanliang let go of Luo Jiuli and bowed to Xiao Mingxuan.
"The last general, Luo Yuanliang, meets the Ninth Prince."
"rise."
Xiao Mingxuan's voice was calm, and he walked down the steps and stood in front of Luo Jiuli.
"You are heartless. When your elder brother comes, you will throw me aside."
As he spoke, the white fox fur in his hand flew up in the wind and landed on Luo Jiuli's body.
Luo Jiuli smiled, raised his chin slightly, and let him tie the knot.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. My eldest brother and I have not seen each other for a long time, and I am just a little excited. This has no conflict with the position of Your Majesty in my heart."
"Is there no conflict?"
"No."
Luo Jiuli shook his head firmly.
"No, there is a conflict, but the conflict is not with me, but with you?"
Xiao Mingxuan tied the knot for her and put the stove into her arms.
"When your eldest brother gets married and has his own wife, you won't be the one acting coquettishly in your eldest brother's arms anymore. You will only be watching. By then you will understand how I feel.
Already."
Luo Jiuli was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of his words, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and reached out to hold his arm.
"If my eldest brother gets married, I will naturally care about my sister-in-law's thoughts. At that time, the only person I can act like a spoiled child will be the prince."
As he spoke, he tilted his head to Xiao Mingxuan's side affectionately.
Xiao Mingxuan lowered his head, looked at her deeply, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
The interaction between these two people completely stunned Luo Yuanliang.
The last time he left the capital, the relationship between the two men was still vague and unclarified. It was not until the Nine Princes went to Liyang Military Camp that he and his father heard the shocking secret.
He thought that the Ninth Prince's so-called visit to propose marriage was just because of the incident that night a year ago, to take responsibility, and to give an explanation to his younger sister, the Duke's Palace, and his father.
But now it seems that the situation is not quite what he thought!
The Ninth Prince's attitude towards his little sister is not just as simple as being responsible.
The gentle eyes, the undisguised emotion, the sweet smile, and the action of him personally covering the little girl with a white fox fur, were like flowing clouds and flowing water, extremely natural.
Especially that last smile. If the soldiers of the Sangnan Kingdom who were stationed at the border knew that the God of War Prince of the Changning Dynasty was immersed in the gentle countryside, they would probably interrupt the peace talks and be impatient to launch an army to attack.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Luo Jiuli has called twice, but her elder brother has not responded.
"Nothing? I'm just a little uncomfortable with it."
Luo Yuanliang glanced at Xiao Mingxuan vaguely.
Xiao Mingxuan just pretended not to see it.
"Come in."
"yes."
Luo Yuanliang actually attaches great importance to status and inferiority. No matter what the relationship between the Ninth Prince and his sister is, the identity of the Ninth Prince's royal prince will not change.
He knows the right balance very well.
The three of them entered the room and took their seats respectively.
"Brother, where is your father? When did you return to Beijing? Did you go home? Did you see your mother?"
Luo Yuanliang smiled.
"My father and I returned to Beijing two hours ago. Before I had time to fix things, my mother asked me to come and take you back home."
"As for my father, I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I have a lot to say and a lot of things to discuss."
He said and glanced at Xiao Mingxuan.
As for what the father and mother want to discuss? Of course it is their marriage.
Luo Jiuli slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Mingxuan.
He was calm, without any emotional changes, but this indifference made her feel a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty, my eldest brother is here to take me back to my house."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded lightly.
"Well, in that case, let Nan Zhu tidy up and follow your eldest brother back to the Duke's Mansion today."
Here, when Luo Yuanliang heard this, he raised his hands and wanted to thank him.
But Luo Jiuli grabbed Xiao Mingxuan's arm seriously.
"Your Majesty really wants me to leave now?"
Xiao Mingxuan held her hand with his backhand.
"After I finish my business today, I will come to propose marriage tomorrow. You can wait for me at the Duke's Mansion with peace of mind."
Luo Jiuli squeezed his palm.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to leave me alone and enter the palace alone?"
"I will not enter the palace without being summoned by the Queen Mother."
"My lord, you think you can fool me with these few words. If you count the time, I guess the people sent by the emperor will be halfway there without being summoned by the Queen Mother."
Nan Xing did not come back at this time, which means that the people in the Changchun Palace of Qiulian's body in the wooden box have seen it.
As for the Queen Mother's psychological endurance, she didn't know.
Anyway, to ordinary people, seeing a dead person unexpectedly is like placing a time bomb above their head.
Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Do you really want to accompany me to the palace?"
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"Your Majesty has already said that I have worked so hard to plan a plan, but I can't let it go to waste, let alone-"
