Prisoner of the Eastern Palace

Chapter 15 - Settling Accounts

Luo Ange ate dinner alone. He thought that Mu Ke was stuck in some government affairs and hadn't returned to the East Palace yet, but when he returned to his bedroom, he found that Mu Ke was already sitting by the window waiting for him. To be precise, it is to settle accounts with him.

Because Luo Ange saw the exquisite dice on the table, the white jade dice had been wiped clean, but the moon white tassels were still a little damp.

Luo Ange's throat moved, inexplicably having a premonition that a bloody storm was coming.

Mu Ke raised his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table, motioning for him to come over.

Luo Ange always felt that he was suppressing some kind of anger, and instinctively felt the danger, so he just took a small step forward, squeezed his sleeves nervously, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Mu Ke sneered, staring at Luo Ange with dark eyes, "How dare you ask me what's wrong?"

He fiddled with the exquisite dice on the table, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?!"

Mu Ke's tone was very cold and harsh, like a beast about to get angry. Luo Ange felt that if he told the truth, he would be torn to pieces in the next second.

So Luo Ange thought it over and said: "I walked in the veranda for a while, maybe I accidentally dropped it..."

"The truth!" Mu Ke raised his eyes sharply, Luo Ange panicked, and couldn't help but spit out the truth: "I, I threw it away!"

Mu Ke stood up abruptly, the solid wooden chair he was carrying sang, Mu Ke approached Luo Ange two steps, and grabbed his lapel with such force that Luo Ange almost lost his footing.

Those eyes seemed to be on fire, staring at Luo Ange's face firmly, and questioning each word: "Why did you throw it away?!"

Luo Ange was a little scared.He was afraid of His Royal Highness from the bottom of his heart, Yun Le's power of life and death was in his hands, so Luo Ange had to be afraid.

But after being terrified, he felt absurd again. The dice belonged to him, right?Why should others point fingers here?

Coupled with Luo Ange's high spirits, being pushed and shoved like this, he already felt wronged in his heart, so he broke away from Mu Ke's hand, took a step back, and said with a sarcastic smile: "His Royal Highness, this Linglong dice is If I don't want my stuff, I just throw it away, what's the problem?"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Ke suddenly raised his hand and slapped him, this slap was almost merciless, causing Luo Ange to stagger, and half of his face immediately turned red and swollen.

Luo Ange was stunned for a moment, only felt the stinging pain on his face was unbearable, his head was buzzing, and there was a burst of fishy smell in his mouth.

"You!" No matter what, Luo Ange is a member of the royal family, even if he is down and out, he will not be a lost dog.He was bloody from the bottom of his heart, and immediately became angry with embarrassment, clenched his fists, and rushed forward to avenge the slap in the face!

Mu Ke easily grabbed his wrist, pushed him back with strength, glanced at him coldly, and pointed to the door, "Get out!"

Luo Ange also became angry, stomped his feet fiercely, and cursed: "Get out! I don't care about living with animals!"

After scolding, he was afraid that Mu Ke would hit him again, so he quickly turned around and ran out.

Mu Ke watched his back disappear quickly, and moved his feet, as if he wanted to chase him back, but he stopped in the end, pressed his forehead, and sat back with a frown.

He just sat there, not looking at the exquisite dice on the table, but staring at the door where Luo Ange disappeared, silent and motionless, as silent as a lifeless statue.

After Luo Ange left the gate, he realized that he had nowhere to go.

How big is the East Palace, with pavilions, pavilions, halls and houses, one after another.But Luo Ange didn't know his way, he lived here for a few days, and almost never left the small courtyard of his dormitory.

He stood blankly at the gate of the compound for a while, looking around at the dark night like a helpless child, and finally wrapped his cloak tightly around him, and returned to the eaves in the cold wind, slowly sat in the corner.

Luo Ange felt very pitiful, because of a small pendant, he was kicked out of the room at night, the cold night was long, and there was not even a warm blanket.

Luo Ange shrank his body, his ears were filled with the chirping of night birds and the sound of the wind, and finally, the sleepiness overcame the cold, and he leaned against the wall and fell into a deep sleep.

Just separated by a wall and an outer room, the people in the room did not feel sleepy at all.Mu Ke didn't even change his obscene clothes, but just sat on the chair by the window, staring at the exquisite dice on the table.

But in his mind, he was thinking about the person who was kicked out by him just now, he is not familiar with the place, can he find a side room to sleep in?It's cold tonight, will the maid prepare a quilt for him?

After thinking about it, Mu Ke couldn't sit still, and regretted that he hit him just now.Luo Ange just ran out, what about the injuries on his face?

Mu Ke stood up abruptly, wanting to look for him outside, but when he glanced at the exquisite dice on the table, he suddenly stopped.

After a long time, Mu Ke's eyes became gloomy, and he turned back and took off his clothes to go to bed.

"Deserved!"

……

Luo Ange slept like this until five o'clock, and Wang Gonggong found him when he came to inspect.

As the chief manager of the East Palace, Wang Gonggong has to wait at the door every morning before the master wakes up according to the rules. He is afraid that if the master wakes up, no one will be called.

Wang Gonggong walked over in small steps, and saw a person sleeping in the corner at a glance. When he went over to look, he couldn't help but turned pale with shock, and said anxiously: "Luo Shaoqing, why are you sleeping here? Get up quickly, it's so cold."

As he spoke, he went to help Luo An sing.

Luo Ange opened his eyes drowsily, glanced at Wang Gonggong, and closed them again.

The voice was weak, "Elder-in-law, let me sleep for a while, sleepy..."

"Then you can't sleep here." Wang Gonggong supported Luo Ange, and persuaded softly, "The miscellaneous family will help you to sleep in the side room, it will be a long time before dawn."

Luo Ange also felt cold, so he closed his eyes and nodded, and let the prince lead him through the corridor to the side room.

After the prince put Luo Ange on the couch, he asked the maid to get a thick quilt, boiled ginger soup, and after persuading Luo Ange to drink it, he returned to the Prince's door and listened to his orders.

After Luo Ange drank the bowl of ginger soup, he only felt sleepy, and lost consciousness as soon as he touched the pillow.

Over there, the prince waited at the door for half an hour, and Mu Ke came out fully dressed, looked around, and asked, "Where's Luo Ange?"

Wang Gonggong hurriedly replied: "Return to Your Highness, I am asleep in the side room."

Mu Ke breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously: at least he didn't let that little thing spend the night outside.The wind was so cold last night, he was really afraid that Luo Ange's body would not be able to bear it.

Just thinking about it, I was sulking in the room and couldn't sleep, but the thing was sleeping soundly under the quilt, and Mu Ke felt a little resentful again.I wanted to go to see him, but now I don't want to, so I turned around and walked forward, and said lightly: "Prepare the sedan chair, and go to the morning court."
