Death Princess

Zhao Lu coaxed and tricked her into the palace with the tokens left by the queen, but was stopped by a group of imperial guards in front of Yong'an Palace.Judging from the analysis of the palace situation that He Yi had given her before and their attires, although they were both members of the Imperial Forest Army, this pair should be under the crown prince's command rather than directly under the emperor's.

What happened, why is the prince in Yong'an Palace?

"Young Master Liu, Your Highness the Princess is receiving treatment. Your Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the Yong'an Palace in order to avoid disturbing the medical officer's acupuncture." A soldier from the Imperial Forest raised his saber in front of Chao Lu.

"His Royal Highness is also inside?" Zhao Lu revealed the flaw with a single sentence.

Several Royal Forest Army looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Didn't you say that in order to avoid disturbing the needle operation, idlers are not allowed to enter?" Zhao Lu asked again, "What happened?"

"..." Yulin Jun faltered.

"I have always been responsible for the illness of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Why, you won't let me in right now, why don't you listen?"

"This... I don't know much about the humble position, it seems that the medical officer made some mistakes when performing the needle..."

"Mistake?! Get out of the way, let me in!" Zhao Lu got angry.

The imperial army did not move.

"You guys are really interesting. The medical officer made a mistake in performing the needle, and Her Royal Highness is in danger. His Royal Highness is worried that his sister is so worried that he won't let me, the doctor in charge, go in? Is it the order of His Royal Highness, or you, for such absurd thing? What are you thinking about?" Zhao Luzhen became angry.

But the Royal Forest Army still didn't move.

"Are you going to let me go?!" Zhao Lu pushed forward, and several imperial guards standing in front drew their swords anxiously, "Okay, you won't let me go, right? If you don't let me go, then I will let me go and climb the wall!! "

"..." Several imperial guards thought they heard it wrong.

. . .

After half a cup of tea, Zhao Lu coaxed and tricked her into the Yong'an Palace with her superb wall-climbing skills.He knocked away a group of court ladies and eunuchs who were in Cao Ying's heart, and rushed into Leng Tong's bedroom. Chao Lu ignored the prince He Yuxi who was standing outside the screen, and the female medical officer kneeling on the ground, and directly rushed into the screen.

As soon as she entered, Zhao Lu saw Leng Tong, whose limbs were twitching uncontrollably on the couch, and the maid who was pressing her limbs together.Zhao Lu's heart skipped a beat, and she lifted her foot to the side of the collapse and dragged the maids away, shouting: "Let go of you all!!"

"Lu, Mr. Liu?" After hearing the voice, Zhao Lu noticed that He Yi was also standing aside.

"I said, let go!" Zhao Lu repeated with an accentuated tone.

"Do as Mr. Liu says!" He Yi quickly ordered.

After the maid moved away, Zhao Lu didn't care whether Leng Tong's kicking limbs would hurt her, she stepped forward, and inserted a few phantom lightning needles into Leng Tong's acupoints.With the input of spiritual power, Leng Tong's body gradually returned to calm.But He Yi was the only one present who knew this, and from the perspective of the others, it was the silver needle acupuncture that worked.

Then, without greeting Lu Bi, he walked forward and helped Leng Tong, who was already unconscious, to sit cross-legged, and stretched out his hand to touch her clothes as if to pull them off.Seeing this, He Yi hastily coughed dryly.Only then did Chao Lu tore off a piece of dark cloth and tied it to her eyes before moving her hands.

But even so, the talkative maid said: "Young Master Liu, men and women are different, how could you be so rude to my princess?!"

Zhao Lu didn't bother to talk to her, but someone got excited after hearing this sentence. "Young Master Liu," came He Yuxi's voice who was afraid that nothing would happen, "Father trusts you so much, you actually..."

Chao Lu took his roar as a deaf ear.

"Yi'er, and you, how can you let an outsider treat your sister like this?!" He was still rambling.

"Mr. Liu is the younger brother of the Queen's aunt. Brother Prince, you and sister's uncle, so... he is not considered an outsider, right? Besides, he is blindfolded." He Yi didn't know whether he was being stupid or deliberately reminding him of He Yuxi.

"Uncle? Uncle?!" He Yuxi was so blocked that he couldn't catch his breath. In the next breath, he yelled out in revenge, "Come on, let me take this..."

Before he finished speaking, three silver needles were shot towards him, rubbing his forehead and the top of his head and landing on the wall behind He Yuxi.He Yuxi was so shocked that his legs went limp, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"Shut up or get out," said Zhao Lu's voice, very cold, "otherwise, the next injection won't avoid the face."

"How... how unreasonable is this!" Although he stammered and refused to give in, He Yuxi walked out of Lengtong's bedroom obediently.

After He Yuxi left, He Yi dismissed the palace maids with a look from Zhaolu.She nodded to Chao Lu, and she wanted to make a gesture to walk out of the screen, but she saw that Zhao Lu cut her own wrist with a dagger conjured out of thin air, and immediately, blood spattered.However, under the control of Zhao Lu's newly cultivated cold spirit power, the blood that came out turned into blood-red needles. She inserted those needles into the acupuncture points behind Leng Tong one by one, and the needles immediately became full. Root into Leng Tong's body.

"You..." He Yi was dumbfounded.

Chao Lu made a calm expression.Then he didn't explain any more, but used the cold spirit power to freeze the wrist wound and hid it, then put the fingers of his right hand on the knife wound on Leng Tong's back.

"I'm injecting spiritual power into your body to stimulate it now, it may hurt a little bit, so bear with it," she said.

Leng Tong's consciousness seemed to be a little clear, and she nodded to her who didn't know what she was doing behind her back.With spiritual energy entering her body, she clenched her teeth tightly without making a sound.And where she couldn't see, Zhao Lu's face became paler and paler.Seeing all this, He Yi shook his head and sighed, and walked out of the screen.

. . .

Half an hour later, as soon as Zhao Lu stepped out of the screen with some weakness, she was forced out of the room by the imperial forest army sent by the prince at some time.Then, there was a flutter of chickens and dogs jumping outside the house.

"Yi'er?" It was Leng Tong's weak voice.

"Sister." He Yi looked away from the door and ran in.

"what happened?"

"Hey——" He Yi sighed for a long time, "I know you are not interested in some things and don't want to do them, but in the palace, it doesn't mean that if you don't do anything, others will let you go. Today Aunt Queen went to the temple to pray for Buddha, and she was not with you when she was doing acupuncture for the first time. Coincidentally, the medical officer made a mistake, and the front foot made a mistake, and the prince rushed over. If it wasn’t for a coincidence, I would have been here If it's Lu, Young Master Liu will come one step later, sister, you..."

After a pause, he said again: "Sister, you should take care of the eyes and mouths of the people around you. The palace is a place where you have to be cruel."

Leng Tong was about to speak when she heard Chao Lu's scream from outside the house...

. . .

Outside the Yong'an Palace, Chao Lu was pinned down on the bench by several khans of the Imperial Forest Army, but before the sixty boards ordered by the prince came down, Chao Lu's screams rang through half of the palace.

He Yuxi was so loud that he covered his ears, but "Liu Lu"'s screams sounded like he could climb walls and bend around, even if he covered his ears, his head hurt from the noise.

He Yuxi fell into a tangle.The sixty big boards given to this little uncle will not be successful if he does not fight, otherwise he may forget that he is the crown prince, not that trash of Yong'an Palace.But if the sixty boards are really finished, wouldn't he be deaf from the noise?If he ordered to go on and leave by himself, who knows if these gangsters will really "beat them hard"?

At this moment, a voice and a series of flying stones ended his entanglement for him.

"Stop!!" It was a voice that He Yuxi had never heard before, and the bloody storm in that voice was unimaginable to him who had never seen purgatory on earth with his own eyes.He was frightened by the sound and froze in place, the hairs all over his body stood up, but he held his breath and didn't dare to move, for fear that if he took a breath, the next flying stone would smash through his head, for fear of moving even a little bit , there will be a bloodthirsty knife, cut off his head.He vaguely remembered that He Kunshu's head seemed to have fallen off unconsciously like this.

The boards fell all over the floor, and the Imperial Forest Army soldiers whose hands were broken by stones stopped their movements, and stood in place with their heads covered in sweat, watching He Yi push Leng Tong on the wheelchair closer, as if Watching the guillotine touch the neck little by little.For the first time, they realized that Princess Yong'an, who couldn't walk, might be the one who couldn't be bothered.They covered their red and swollen hands tremblingly, moved to both sides, and exposed "Liu Lu" who was lying on the bench and pretending to be dead.

"Is there something wrong?" Leng Tong stretched out his hand to "Liu Lu" amidst a bunch of widened eyes.Until then, countless people in Yong'an Palace discovered that their Highness the Princess could say other things besides "um" and "oh", and would also take the initiative to contact others.

Unexpectedly, "Liu Lu" who got the first words from Princess Yong'an and the hand extended by Princess Yong'an, lay down on the bench ungratefully and refused to get up.

"This is how Her Royal Highness treats doctors and elders." Zhao Lu said pitifully.

"Elder?" Leng Tong's focus was completely reversed.She thought and thought, and it took her a while to realize where the word "elder" came from, and she couldn't laugh or cry.It's no wonder that whoever wakes up and finds that the person who vowed to marry him has become his little uncle will be stunned for a while.

He Yi, who was watching the play on the side, endured for a long time, so that he didn't expose the maniacal laughter in his heart.

Just as this one person was cheating, one was in a daze, the other was holding back a laugh, and a group of people were trembling, a notification came from a distance: "Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived—"

"See..." A series of sparse kneeling sounds.Only Zhao Lu, who was cheating on the bench, remained lying on the bench without moving.

"What's going on? I won't be here for a while, and the Yong'an Palace will fall apart?" With Liu Yanlan's support, He Kunju walked in front of the crowd, and he stopped his gaze on Leng Tong, as if waiting for Leng Tong's answer .

"She saved me," Leng Tong pointed to "Liu Lu" with his chin, and then pointed to the prince, "He ordered her to be beaten." Her answer was very concise.

"Prince," He Kunju frowned, "When did Yong'an Palace become your East Palace?"

……

After a series of explanations, the crown prince and the Imperial Army were expelled from the Yong'an Palace, and "Liu Lu" was brought into the Imperial Study Room.

The two people in the imperial study room did not sit on the seat and the other kneeled down as usual, but sat on the side of the small table, one on the left and one on the right, with a cup of tea in front of each of them, while the guards and maids were sent away.

"Cough, cough, cough," He Kunju coughed dryly and put down his teacup, "It's just you and I now, so there's no need to hide it. Who are you, what is your purpose, and what is your relationship with Tong'er ?”

Facing the emperor's questioning, Chao Lu leisurely drank a whole cup of tea, put down the cup, and smiled slowly.

……

Two hours later, two imperial edicts and a golden token were placed on the table.

He Kunju raised the jade seal and was about to cover it with the imperial decree, but suddenly raised his head: "Ahem, heck, I never thought that the result of all the tricks is such a bet. If the bet loses, the world of the He family will be real." Three generations are finally in my hands. The Lingzu," looking at "Liu Lu", "I, can you trust me?"

"Liu Lu" didn't answer.

But He Kunju continued on his own: "At this point, I can only bet on it." Crack, the jade seal is covered.

After He Kunju rolled up the two imperial edicts, he made a gesture of invitation to "Liu Lu".With a wave of Chaolu's hand, a delicate metal box was formed around the two jade seals, tightly wrapping them inside.After the box was made, He Kunju frowned and looked at "Liu Lu" before putting it away.

He pushed the golden token in front of "Liu Lu" again, and said, "Take it, to show my sincerity."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After collecting the token, Zhao Lu got up and saluted.

"Well, after that... cough cough cough..." He Kunju struggled to stand up but didn't get up for a long time, "Come help me." He waved his hand.

Seeing this, Zhao Lu hurriedly ran from one end of the case to the other, and helped him up.

"Thank you." Unexpectedly, the emperor thanked him.

Zhao Lu helped He Kunju to the door, but He Kunju suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "If I want you to live in the palace for a few days so that I can treat Tong'er at any time, would you be willing?"

"...The grassroots obey the order."
