In the outer room of Hou Men, she took advantage of her beauty to commit murder

Chapter 182 Meeting with Prime Minister Cen

Royal Palace.

Linhua Palace.

Concubine Shu lazily leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, which was covered with a blanket made of fox fur, and took a closer look at the newly made exquisite armor on her hands.

Zhao Wanying held her chin with her hands and looked at her unblinkingly.

I don’t know how long it took, but Concubine Shu couldn’t help it anymore and sighed, “Can’t you be better?”

Seeing her like this, Zhao Wanying knew that she would definitely relent, so she decided to rush over to her, held her arm and shook her, "Mother Concubine~"

"Brother Yi, he must be very sad now. Just let Ying'er comfort him!" She was really curious about what kind of woman it was that deserved her third cousin to put down his face and beg so many people.

Looking at Zhao Wanying's little head resting on her arm, Concubine Shu couldn't help but stretched out her hand to rub it, and then said, "It's not that I don't want to let you go, it's just that this matter is not simple, and I don't want you to go through this mess." water!"

Li Xingyi gathered the forces of the Zhang family, the Duke's family, and the Yan'er family to find a little girl, but couldn't find any trace of her. Thinking about it with a hair's breadth, he knew that this matter was definitely not simple.

Nowadays, no one in the capital knows that half a month ago, the third son of the Duke of Guo's mansion was kidnapped in the other courtyard in front of him in the outer room.

The third young master led a group of people and searched for several days, but still found nothing. Instead, everyone knew about the woman's existence.

Because he violated the family rules by raising an illegitimate wife, for this reason, the Duke personally requested the family law and gave him twenty family whips. However, after Li Xingyi's "strong" request, he did not execute it until he rescued his wife.

For the sake of a foreign wife, he even went to the extent of contradicting the government who gave birth to him and raised him. Such deep love and righteousness made many ladies who had a "secret crush" on Li Xingyi lament that they had seen the wrong person, but they could not help but feel sorry for the man who captured Li Xingyi. Sincerely, the outer room was "envious", and the handkerchiefs were ruined a lot. For this reason, the sewing rooms in each house could only "complain" while rushing to make them all night long.

In order to save the little outside room, Li Xingyi went to his mentor Zhang family, the third prince of the royal family, and the Duke's Mansion in just half a month. He heard that he still had the intention to go to the Imperial Shang Zhu Mansion, but he had not taken action yet. .

Even so, everyone was shocked by Li Xingyi's "affectionate". Yes, if it wasn't affectionate, who would be willing to give up so many favors and be so humble for a small outsider who couldn't stand up to the stage?

For an outsider to do this, after all, he did not understand the general situation. Many officials wrote letters saying that as an official, Li Xingyi had made a fuss about raising an outsider. The state had national laws and the family had family rules, so he must be punished, and he must be severely punished.

The quarrel became more and more serious, and finally it came before the emperor. After "knowing" Li Xingyi's "ridiculous" behavior, in order to calm the public's anger, the emperor personally issued an order to remove him from his position as a first-class bodyguard and assigned him to Saibei should be a small captain.

Expressing his "deep affection", the emperor promised to give him a month to find someone. Regardless of whether he found someone or not, he had to leave at the end of the month.

After everyone found out, there was a burst of sadness.

Who doesn’t know that because of the heavy snowfalls in the twelfth lunar month, snow disasters occurred frequently in Saibei, and many people died from the cold.

The snow disaster in the Huns in the north was even more serious. In order to survive, they often went to the border to rob and kill.

Nowadays, the northern part of the Great Wall is in chaos. The more intense the rehearsals on both sides are, the more tense the situation becomes. After the beginning of spring, a war between the two sides is probably inevitable, with internal strife and external disasters continuing.

If you go over there and become a captain of thousands at this time, you will definitely have to go to the front line. This is not much different from losing your life.

It has been more than half a month now, and in less than ten days, Li Xingyi must leave for Saibei.

People in the capital were all speculating whether Li Xingyi regretted that he had ruined his bright future for the sake of a little girl. For this reason, those who wanted to do good things would not pay back the bet.

Most people who voted for Li Xingyi must have regretted it, and now they are just being tough.

But this has nothing to do with Li Xingyi, he is on his way to the palace now.

When he arrived at Longquan Palace, Zhao Yunqi was already waiting for him while correcting the memorial.

Li Xingyi looked solemn, walked quickly to the place three steps away from the front, bowed and saluted, "I pay homage to the emperor, may the emperor be blessed with peace and prosperity!"

Zhao Yunqi ignored him, but slowly read the memorial in his hand, wrote a seal of approval, then put it in the hands of the eunuch at the back and asked him to put it away. He put down the ink pen and waved away the palace attendants on both sides. Then looked at him.

Li Xingyi is still in a half-bent posture, and it has not changed at all even after so long.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunqi pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache and said calmly, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Xingyi straightened up calmly, his expression unchanged at all.

Zhao Yunqi stood up and said, "Do you know why I called you over?"

"I don't know!" Li Xingyi shook his head.

"What an ignorant person!" Zhao Yunqi walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and sneered, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"I have nothing to say!" Li Xingyi lowered his eyes and put them on the ground, and still said.

"I don't care if you keep an illegitimate wife. After all, you don't have a family yet, but you made such a fuss that the whole capital knows what's going on?"

Doesn't the imperial law clearly stipulate that officials are not allowed to keep outside wives?
The outer chamber is the root cause of chaos in the family. How can one govern a country if the family is not peaceful?

"You are a new talent in the imperial court, and I am very optimistic about you. Among all the imperial officials, in my heart, you are slightly inferior to King Xuan, Prime Minister Cen, General Zhenguo... first-class officials, but given time, you will definitely not need them. Poor, so I entrust you with a heavy responsibility!" Zhao Yunqi turned around, looked at the four characters "upright and upright" on the dragon chair, and continued, "But it's useless just for me to be good and considerate. You have to convince the public and use your own power. Your talent convinces everyone!”

Listening to his heartfelt words, Li Xingyi was silent for a moment, then knelt down silently, "I have disappointed the emperor, and I am guilty!"

"Just acknowledgment of guilt?" Zhao Yunqi turned around and looked at him steadily.

Li Xingyi lowered his head, looked at the floor, and remained silent.

Luo Siyun had saved him many times. She was robbed this time because of his connection. If he didn't rescue her, he wouldn't be able to pass his own test.

He could only save her, he had to save her.

He knew he was guilty, but he didn't change it because he didn't think it was wrong.

Zhao Yunqi sighed and waved his hand, "Get up!"

Li Xingyi stood up silently and expressed his attitude with his actions.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunqi's eyes flashed with appreciation and he changed the subject.

"Last time you were poisoned, have you found out which party it was from?"

"No!" Li Xingyi shook his head, "It's just that the clues point to the capital!" He was too familiar with their people.

It felt like no matter what he did, the other party would know about it first.

"By the way, there have been some strange movements in Qingshan these days, and those little mice in the north seem to be unable to bear it any longer!" Li Xingyi said.

Although most of Qingshan is within the scope of Jingguo, there is still a small part outside the country.

Zhao Yunqi frowned, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "Leave these to me first!"

"Remember to report the clues you found to Tang Yi and the others. As for you, go to Saibei to calm down first!"

There was a trace of struggle in Li Xingyi's eyes, but he finally nodded, "When the time comes, I will leave immediately!"

"I finally found a reason to throw you over there. You can't let me down. I have to catch all the little mice over there, Qingshan..." Zhao Yunqi sneered, stretched out his hand, palm up, suddenly With a firm squeeze, "...it can only belong to Jing Guo!"

"Yes!"

……

"Girl!" Lingling opened the door and stepped in.

Luo Siyun looked at her, silently put down the tea cup in his hand, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Doesn't she always show up at this time?
Lingling smiled slightly and said, "Master is here!"

When she talked about the master, a trace of fanaticism flashed in her eyes.He quickly calmed down and looked at her, "The master wants you to see him!" A trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

finally come!

Luo Siyun nodded, his expression unchanged.

"Humph!" Seeing how calm she was, Lingling snorted, but said directly without saying anything, "Girl, come with me!"

The two of them left the room. After more than half a month, Luo Siyun finally saw what was outside.

Looking at the no less than ten people surrounding her room, Luo Siyun's mouth twitched.

I really think highly of her...

The two followed each other step by step, leaving the courtyard, walking through the long corridors and pavilions, passing through countless hanging flower doors, and soon arrived at the study room in the front yard.

As soon as he walked to the study room, Luo Siyun saw his biggest enemy and immediately gritted his teeth, "Zi——Yu——"

Ziyu smiled slightly, and the bone flute in his hand made a beautiful wreath in his hand, and then bowed slightly to her, "Miss Luo, stay well!"

"Hmph!" Luo Siyun snorted coldly, "As long as I see you, I'll be fine!"

Ziyu straightened up, not caring about her cold attitude at all. He patted the bone flute gently in his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that Miss Luo has a deep misunderstanding of me!"

"Huh!" Luo Siyun turned his head and didn't look at him.

If she wasn't relying on someone else now, she would definitely want him to look good.

But it’s okay, it’s not too late for a woman to take revenge in ten years.

Lingling, who went into the study to ask for instructions, came out and turned a blind eye to the tit-for-tat situation. She walked up to Luo Siyun and motioned towards the study, "Girl, please!"

Looking at the open study door, Luo Siyun suddenly walked up to Zi Yu.

Seeing Luo Siyun walking up to him, Ziyu subconsciously clenched the bone flute in his hand and was about to ask something.

Looking at him with a confused look on his face, Luo Siyun suddenly smiled.

She was already beautiful, but getting so close to her was like a critical blow. Ziyu instantly forgot what he wanted to say, only remembering her eyes that were as dazzling as stars.

Seeing him like this, a cold glint flashed in Luo Siyun's eyes.

Seeing this, Ziyu came to his senses instantly and wanted to retreat.

However, Luo Siyun never gave him a chance to retreat. He quickly raised his foot and stepped on his foot hard.

In order to be more effective, she deliberately stepped on it only a little bit and twisted it hard.

The effect was indeed very noticeable, and Ziyu's eyes almost popped out of pain.

Before he could get angry, she ran directly towards the study. As she ran, she bumped his shoulder hard.

I don’t know how she hit her. It felt like she was hit by a mountain.

Ziyu staggered when she hit him and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Humph!" Seeing her running away and not forgetting to close the door after running in, Ziyu's face was livid. It was the first time he was so angry and he wanted to say harsh words, but thinking of her eyes that were as clear as stars just now, like Her smile bloomed like a jasmine flower, but the words reached her throat and she couldn't say anything at all.

In the end, he could only say bitterly, "It's really hard to raise a villain with a woman!" Then he turned around and left with a wave of his sleeves.

……

study.

Luo Siyun ran through the door, quickly closed it, then leaned against the door and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Let you bully me, huh!" Knowing that the disgusting man succeeded, Luo Siyun turned around proudly, and his eyes widened when he saw the scene behind him.

What comes into view is a bookshelf filled with all kinds of precious ancient books.

They are stuffed to the brim and arranged neatly, which shows how many they are.

If you look closely, you can see that many of the pages have rough edges, obviously they have been read frequently.

"They all seem to be unique books, but there are so many of them!" Luo Siyun stared at her eyes. She liked reading books, and she couldn't take her eyes away when she saw these books.

"There are so many books, many of which I have never read. It would be great if they were all mine!" Luo Siyun took a few steps forward, lay on the bookshelf, and looked at the books on it. There were so many books that she could not read them. Dazzled.

Luo Siyun was completely absorbed by the book. Cen Xiang, who had been waiting for her at the desk, was helpless, "Haha, Miss Luo really doesn't see anyone outside!"

Luo Siyun turned around and saw a tall, handsome man behind a large desk, looking at her with a smile, his hands behind his back.

On the wall behind him, there is a huge map hanging. The map is very huge, occupying an entire wall. The man is tall, and standing in front of the map, he can't help but look a little smaller.

"Prime Minister Cen?"

Is it really him?

Luo Siyun frowned and subconsciously took a half step back. He looked at him with a wary expression, but was not fooled by his smile.

She really didn't expect that the mastermind behind the repeated harm to her was actually Jingguo's famous Prime Minister Cen. Before that, she thought it was Lingling who deceived her and didn't take it to heart at all.

She is just an ordinary person. Although she has superpowers, he also has many subordinates, so why is this so?

What is his reason for doing this!
Bored?

Luo Siyun thought hard but still couldn't figure it out.

Seeing her wary look, Prime Minister Cen didn't care. He turned around the big desk, walked to the guest chair beside him, and said with a smile, "Sit down!"

Looking at the table with tea and snacks, Luo Siyun frowned, his face became more alert, and he even secretly activated his powers.

But when she thought about the weird abilities of his subordinates, she thought for a while, but still did not act rashly, so she could only shout coldly, "Master Cen, you and I have no grievances, why did you kidnap me?"

Seeing that she had no intention of complimenting her, Prime Minister Cen didn't care and sat down on the chair on the other side, not forgetting to pour himself a cup of hot tea.

The mist from the tea rose and enveloped his face, making his expression increasingly unclear. Only his seemingly bottomless black eyes could be seen.

He put the tea under his nose and sniffed it, then squinted his eyes slightly and praised, "This tea is really good!"

After taking a small sip and commenting again, he put down the tea cup and looked at Luo Siyun. Seeing that she still looked wary, he couldn't help but smile, "Don't be so wary, I don't have bad intentions for you, otherwise , you would have died a long time ago!"

Luo Siyun frowned and said nothing.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Cen shook his head helplessly, "It's boring, it's boring!"

"Forget it, let me tell you straight!"

Luo Siyun concentrated and looked at him.

Cen Xiang smiled slightly, "I've wanted to invite you for a long time, and I want you to help me do something!" He got straight to the point, and spread his hands, "I just didn't expect you to be like this, um..." He paused After a pause, "...be careful!" When he said this, he looked helpless.
