My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 73 Seal
Facts have proved that Liu Rong's concerns are justified.

——Almost as soon as she learned that Liu Rong had gone to the Ancestral Temple, Li Ji completely turned on the madness mode and almost turned the Phoenix Palace upside down.

If it hadn't been for the last time when she almost ran to the Xuanshi Palace to 'save his son', which caused Liu Rong to be furious, she might have really gone to the Xuanshi Palace to ask for someone this time.

But it’s not much better;
After the initial rage, Li Ji calmed down a little and immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation.

After learning that the Imperial Ancestral Temple where brothers Liu Rong and Liu Yu were located had been surrounded by Northern Army guards for several levels, Li Ji was just about to lose her sanity, and it was just the last straw that broke the camel's back... …

"Where's that bastard second brother!"

"Brothers are in trouble, they can't even be seen!!!"

At this time, the Phoenix Palace was already in ruins.

In the entire main hall, not even a complete appliance, an upright lampstand, or even a person standing upright could be seen.

Especially with Li Ji's sharp roar, the palace people, who were already bowing deeply, knelt down...

"Are you all mute?!"

"——I, the Phoenix Palace, can't find another person with a long mouth!!!"

Li Ji was so frightened that she shrank her neck again. The figure standing beside the couch finally cast a horrified look into the ruins of the palace.

With just one glance, he saw the thin figure who was still picking up the mess everywhere even though he was lying on the ground.

After locking the target, the old palace man trotted forward and kicked Xia Que on the butt.

"Madam is asking you something!"

She scolded in a low tone, causing Xia Que to raise her head blankly. Seeing that it was the old manager next to Li Ji, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the palace door.

Outside the palace gate, the eunuch is tall and tall like a door god, seeming to be guarding the mess in the Phoenix Palace.

Maybe he saw that burly figure that was extremely familiar and made him feel safe. Xia Que finally stood up, raised his head, and looked up at the old boss who was two heads taller than him.

"You can't bully me."

"Otherwise Aoi Wu will beat you to death."

"——This is something that the eldest son told Kui Wu."

"You have to listen to what the eldest son says."

Speaking of this somewhat domineering objective fact in an almost mechanical and indifferent tone, Xia Que lowered his head indifferently, looked straight ahead, and walked step by step in front of Li Ji.

Behind Xia Que, the old manager lowered his head in even more fear, and turned his eyes in the direction of the palace door in fear.

——Since last time, when he beat the female official to death with a stick outside Qilan Palace, Kuiwu has become a "ferocious" figure in the entire Weiyang Palace.

In particular, Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, was supporting him, which made the people in the palace, especially the Phoenix Palace, avoid him like snakes and scorpions.

Of course the old boss felt angry, even ashamed, about Xia Que's words!
But I have to admit: Xia Que's words are true every word.

That fool Aoi Wu, whoever he said he was going to beat to death, would probably really be beaten to death...

Xia Que turned a blind eye to the change in the old boss' expression, or in other words, he didn't pay attention at all.

Still with the paralyzed face that showed no trace of sadness or joy at all and was always tense, he walked to Li Ji's side and bowed.

"Madam, do you have something to ask me?"

Perhaps he was infected by Xia Que's indifference or daze, which made Li Ji calm down inexplicably despite her excitement.

Although it wasn't much, it was enough for Li Ji to lower her voice and speak in as normal a tone as possible.

"You two are my son's confidants carefully selected from among the people of the Phoenix Palace."

"Especially you, the one my son personally sent to me."

"Tell me, is my son still okay right now?"

"——I don't know."

The unthinking response made Li Ji frown immediately, and the small universe once again had a tendency to explode.

Suppressing his anger, he used all his patience and continued to ask: "Now, as a mother, what should I do to help my son overcome this difficulty?" When asking this question, Li Ji's voice already had an obvious vibrato.

Secretly, he has already made up his mind: if he can't get anything out of the question, he will just follow his instinct!
Fortunately, this time, Xia Que did not immediately shake his head and say "I don't know". Instead, he frowned and thought for a long time.

After Li Ji became a little irritable and restless, she finally came back from her 'thinking' state.

"I don't know what to do, madam."

Just this word made Li Ji get up from the bed immediately!
Just as he was about to raise his feet and head towards the palace door, Wen Xia Que continued: "It's just that last time, the eldest son was in trouble. Madam wanted to do something, but she almost ruined the eldest son's important event."

"This time, the eldest son is in trouble again..."

"——Can it be the same!!!"

Before Xia Que finished speaking, Li Ji's shrill roar sounded again!

Geng looked at Xia Que with splitting eyes, and said with a mixture of shock and anger: "Last time, it was just a slap in the face~!"

"If you get slapped, the matter will be over!"

"——This time, this matter has been brought to the Ancestral Temple!"

···
"Do you know where the Ancestral Temple is?"

"Do you know who was the last person who ran into the Ancestral Temple?!"

"——Zhihou Bo Zhao!!"

"People enter the Ancestral Temple vertically, but they are carried out horizontally!!!"

Speaking of the urgent situation, Li Ji stamped her feet, her eyes as fierce as a Rakshasa were covered with a thick layer of fog.

In sharp contrast, Xia Que's speech rate was too slow, like a sloth, and his face was as calm as an old tortoise.

"When I left home today, the eldest son brought three days' worth of dry food."

"I brought dry food because I expected that I would not return to the Phoenix Palace in the next three or two days."

"Now that I have a plan, if there is anything my wife needs to do, the eldest son will leave a message."

"If you don't leave a message, you don't need to do anything else, Madam."

The extremely gentle and calm tone, coupled with the paralyzed face that could never see a second expression, finally calmed down Li Ji's rapid breathing.

Then Li Ji took a deep breath and patted her chest while thinking.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Kui Wu outside the palace door.

"Do you think so too?"

While Li Ji was questioning Xia Que, although Kui Wu was still acting like a door god, his attention was completely focused on the movement in the palace.

He had kept his ears open, listening to the conversation between Li Ji and Xia Que, and when he heard Li Ji nod to him, he immediately stepped into the hall.

She instinctively wanted to speak, but was stumped by Li Ji's question and froze in place.

Seeing Aoi Wu's reaction, Li Ji, who had just been unexpectedly comforted by Xia Que, suddenly became a little anxious again.

It was at this time that the backup plan arranged by Liu Rong finally came belatedly...

"His Majesty's Oral Order~"

"The eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, behaved inappropriately after drinking~"

"His mother, Li Ji, has no way to teach her son~"

"——He ordered the Phoenix Palace to be closed immediately, and no one was allowed to enter or leave~~"

"Awaiting the orders of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, waiting for the announcement~~~"
