Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

In the main hall of Xiwang Mansion.

Lengxi sat at the front of the head with a cold expression, while Yu Qiaoqiao stood with her head bowed, pinching the handkerchief with her fingers to hide her inner tension.

After a moment of silence, Leng Xi suddenly spoke in a cold voice,

"Why did you contradict me?"

Yu Qiaoqiao knew that he was talking about letting her drink in Prince Yu's Mansion.

So she looked up at him and said without hesitation:

"I don't know how to drink. You know that. Why do you make me look bad in public? You blame me for contradicting you. Why don't you say that you never cared about my feelings?"

"What did I tell you before I left in the morning? This time we are seeking peace with sincerity, but you refuse to drink even a glass of water and wine? You are still contradicting me in public. Your courage is really getting bigger and bigger."

"If you ask for peace, it has nothing to do with whether I drink or not. Princess Yu will not throw us out of Prince Yu's mansion just because I don't drink, but you, use me to please others. Is that interesting? Don't you think you have gone too far?"

too much?How dare she talk to herself like this?She dared to contradict herself again?

Lengxi froze for a moment.

He was about to get angry, but Yu Qiaoqiao bowed her body as if nothing happened, and said lightly:

"My lord, I am Princess Xi, not a little girl from Prince Xi's mansion. Please don't point fingers at me in the future. It's getting late. I should go back to sleep. You should also rest early."

After leaving these words, she didn't look at Lengxi more, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

This……

Lengxi was stunned for a moment, how dare this Yu Qiaoqiao, who always obeyed him, dare to refute him repeatedly today?What exactly is going on?

He frowned and thought about it, and finally, he thought of it.

Yu Qiaoqiao stayed with Luo Lan for a long time today, presumably that Shui Luolan said something to her, otherwise she would never dare to talk to herself like this.

Thinking of this, he slapped the table with his fist angrily, trying to get angry, but held back with all his might.

"Come on."

He shouted loudly, and the butler bowed over,

"My lord..."

"Command, starting tomorrow, King Xi's Mansion will go to the street to serve porridge and steamed buns every day for a month, and those homeless wanderers can eat for free."

The butler was taken aback for a moment, and asked cautiously:

"My lord, it takes a lot of money to provide porridge and steamed buns for a month, so let's..."

"The king's words are not clear, or is your ear not good?"

Seeing that Lengxi's tone became displeased, the housekeeper hurriedly nodded in response,

"Yes, I will ask someone to prepare."

After saying that, the butler quickly turned around and trotted away.

Didn't the concubine mother say to make herself a good person among the common people?Then spread the money yourself!

……

In the early morning of the next day, Leng Yu and Liu Dechang came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after finishing dealing with the matters in the court early.

The emperor's body is still very weak these days, but fortunately Luo Lan has prepared medicine for his body to take care of his body. Although his spirit is very poor, his body is not in serious condition.

Ever since Leng Yu was appointed by the emperor as the queen regent, he could meet the emperor directly without notification.

Therefore, after arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he took Liu Dechang directly to the emperor's inner chamber.

When he came closer, he saw the emperor leaning on the emperor's couch and taking a nap, Liu Xi was standing beside him, rubbing his legs lightly, Leng Yu bowed and cupped his fists and said:

"Father, my son has something to say."

Leng Yu's words broke the tranquility here, the emperor half-opened his eyes and looked at him, Liu Xi quickly helped him to sit up.

He sat upright, glanced at Leng Yu, then looked at Liu Dechang,

"General Liu is also here. It seems that this matter is very important."

Liu Dechang hurriedly clasped his fists and replied:

"What the emperor said is very true. This matter concerns the minister, so the minister and Prince Yu came here together."

"Oh? Tell me, what is it that Yu'er can't decide, and has to come to me to report?"

After Liu Dechang and Leng Yu glanced at each other, they handed over a memorial directly. After Liu Xi took the memorial, he bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, you know that I married a wife back then. In fact, she didn't die. She was just kidnapped by the Chu people and brought to Chu. They also took away one of my children, which is Luo Lan's twin sister."

What he said made the emperor's eyes slightly surprised, and he asked:

"What do you mean by mentioning this to me now?"

"I want the emperor to rehabilitate my wife and daughter, return their identities, so that they can see the sun again in Daning Kingdom."

"According to what you said, they are now in Daning Kingdom, right?"

Liu Dechang hesitated for a moment, Leng Yu clasped his fists and replied:

"Father, they are now living in Prince Yu's Mansion."

The emperor's face suddenly darkened, he looked at Leng Yu, and roared in a low voice,

"So, when I went last time, they were in Prince Yu's Mansion? You lied to me."

"I don't dare, the last time I was really helpless, I hope that the emperor can be considerate to my son."

"Humph!"

The emperor suddenly threw up his sleeves and shouted loudly,

"You are killing them first and playing later. The last time you were helpless, what happened this time? You are relying on your status as the regent, so you can make decisions for them, right? You are so courageous. You even put two Chu people at home without telling me. You know that the Chu people are the ones I hate the most."

"Father, they are not from Chu State. They were just kidnapped by Chu people to Chu State. They are also victims. I hope that Father will show mercy and restore their identities."

"It's really unreasonable. If you didn't lie to me last time, I might be able to forgive you, but you left them at home a long time ago without telling me. Now it seems that your Yu Palace doesn't take me seriously at all."

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Liu Dechang hurriedly bowed and begged:

"Your Majesty, the old minister lost his wife and daughter. The emperor is sympathetic. He ordered people to look inside and outside the capital, but there was no result. In order to dispel the old minister's idea of ​​finding his wife and daughter, the people of Chu held a fake funeral for the old minister's wife. Now that the old minister knows that their mother and daughter are still alive, they will naturally take them back. Please forgive the old minister's suffering of being alone for many years. For the sake of the old minister, justify their mother and daughter and restore their mother and daughter. Thank you."

When he said this, Liu Dechang suddenly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to the emperor in tears.

The emperor slightly closed his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, then waved his hands,

"The people I hate the most in my life are the Chu people and those who deceive me. You have both of these. I consider that you two have no two hearts for me, so I don't care about you. Within three days, let those two Chu people leave the capital and leave the Daning country. If not, I will send people to arrest them."

"emperor……"

When Liu Dechang saw the emperor's harsh words, he immediately shouted in panic:

"Your Majesty, they are not from the state of Chu, they are the wives and children of veteran ministers, can't the Emperor be accommodating?"

The emperor waved his hand mercilessly,

"Although they are not from Chu, they have stayed in Chu for many years. If they care about Daning and you, General Liu, why didn't they come back sooner? They wanted to come back during the war between Chu and Daning? Who can guarantee that they are not the secret agents of Chu? In my opinion, if they want to return to the Duke's mansion, they must have some ulterior secret. You should stop pleading for the two of them."

After saying these words, he waved to Liu Xi,

"I'm tired, help me to lie down and sleep for a while, you all step back."

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of accommodating and didn't even want to talk about this matter, Leng Yu and Liu Dechang could only walk out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation angrily.

Until they returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, neither of them made a sound, maybe they were thinking about what to do next.
