The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 237

"This is not what the empress said, even His Majesty is unwilling to talk to her! A few days ago, I heard that Cao Ye Naji had suggested to His Majesty, hoping that His Highness Xue Wang would take over the case as soon as possible, but His Majesty said that His Highness Xue Wang is busy with state affairs It was rejected! It can be seen that His Majesty does not plan to investigate this matter any more!" Feng Lu said firmly.

Concubine Li hummed, "I know that the empress will not allow her to stand up, so I will find an excuse for the family dinner tonight, and prove the crimes of Wu Zhong and Wu Xin! Let this matter be completely settled!"

The two brought a large number of maids in the palace to the outside of the Jiaofang hall in a brazen manner.

"See Concubine Li, Huangfu Xianyi, Your Majesty has an order that no one is allowed to visit Wu Zhaoyi!" Two guards crossed their swords and said loudly.

Concubine Li smiled and said: "I know, but today's family banquet, I saw that sister Chang Xi couldn't go, so I specially sent some pastries to show my heart!" She said loudly, "Sister Chang Xi, Li'er Sister is here to see you! She also brought sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that you will never eat again, a full two catties, you should take this opportunity to eat as much as you want!"

"Sister Changxi! Sister Fenglu has also come to see you. Don't worry. Although King Xue will no longer take over this case, His Majesty has long forgotten about it. He will not kill my sister. She will live in peace and die in it." !" Feng Lu covered half of her mouth with her sleeve, as if she was afraid that others would see her taking pleasure in other people's misfortune.

Concubine Li raised her neck, but her voice was choked up, "Unfortunately, I don't know when we will meet next time, I hope my hair will not be gray by then!"

"I'm not too old to walk!" Feng Lu answered again, and then the two laughed together, "I'm going to host a family banquet, so I won't accompany you!"

As he spoke, he signaled the several servants to throw the baskets of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in their hands on the ground, and helped the servants away like the wind blowing willows.

From the beginning to the end, there was no sound from the Jiaofang Hall. Several guards looked at each other, wondering whether the sweet-scented osmanthus cake should be sent in or not. They were hesitating when they heard the little Zhao Zi spat inside and scolded: "Lao Tzu Even if they eat cockroaches and mice, I won’t eat your unlucky sweet-scented osmanthus cake.”

Seeing Chang Xi's sad expression, Mei'er comforted her and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is here to anger you on purpose! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he will not ignore you! He is not so cruel!" The last sentence, although in To persuade others, but Meier herself hesitated.

I haven't seen anyone here for so many days. If Li Longji forgot about Jiaofangdian, I wouldn't believe it. Otherwise, why didn't King Xue come back for so long and didn't let him take over the investigation?

"It doesn't matter, I can hold on!" Chang Xi said so, but her body was already crumbling.

She is not angry because of Concubine Li. Concubine Li has been her enemy for many years. It is very normal to look like this. She is hurting Li Longji's heartlessness. God is really cruel. After she fell in love with him completely, she arranged such an ending for her .

Mei'er looked at Chang Xi's devastated back, and felt unspeakable pity in her heart. She was imprisoned in the cold palace that day, and she must have been as desperate as her!
"Come on, fifth brother, you have patrolled the border for many years, and you have been loyal and responsible for the Tang Dynasty. This cup is toast to you!" The Lishi brought the wine glass to Li Ye, who was on the right hand, and drank it up immediately.

Seeing this, Li Ye raised his glass and drank it to the brim, "Third brother, you are welcome, I am also a descendant of the Li family, all of this is my duty!"

King Ning smiled and said, "Fifth brother has been training abroad for a few years, and his temperament has changed a lot since he came back! He is no longer as flashy as before, but he is much smarter and more capable. Congratulations!"

Mrs. Xue Wang's wife Wei Shi smiled shyly, "Since the prince came back, he didn't go to those brothels and Chu houses anymore. I am also very surprised!"

Hearing what Princess Xue said, everyone burst into laughter, and they all said that Li Ye had really changed his temper, and even he himself felt embarrassed, "You are young and ignorant, and after returning from the battle this time, I want to share my worries for my third brother, no Be a dude again!"

"It's really beneficial!" The queen couldn't help but admire.

Princess Yuzhen hurriedly said: "Not only Fifth Brother, but even the son-in-law has benefited!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Yu, and saw that besides the gentleness of the past, he had a bit more masculine fortitude, but he was also much stronger than before!

Concubine Li smiled and said: "It can be seen that I still have to go out to see the world. This concubine is more experienced. Your Majesty must choose a position for the concubine so that he will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty!" Concubine Li is determined to win over Princess Yuzhen , so he changed ways to ask Li Longji to award Xiao Yu, and as soon as he said this, Yuzhen immediately cast a sweet smile.

Xiao Yu stood up humbly, "I am fortunate enough to have the good wife of the princess, I dare not ask for anything else!" He held Yuzhen's hand under the case and smiled warmly, Yuzhen blushed Cheeks, slowly lowered his head.

"The princess and the son-in-law really are a husband and wife, and I envy everyone!" Feng Lu smiled.

The queen also nodded, "Your Majesty should make some arrangements for the son-in-law, it's not good to be idle all the time!"

Li Longji smiled slightly, "Xiao Yu was born as a bodyguard, so how about it, I will appoint him as the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard, and he will be under the direct jurisdiction of Hengyue."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yu didn't expect Li Longji to entrust him with the task of defending the Xingqing Palace. He was surprised but also delighted.

Yu Zhenxin is sweet in his heart, it seems that the third brother still loves him, and he was given such a powerful position all at once.

Hua Cairen and Shangguan Cairen saw that Xiao Yu had obtained the official position, and they were busy thinking about how to ask Xue Wang to try the case of the Wu family brothers, so as to clear up Chang Xi's grievances earlier, Hua Cairen had an idea, and smiled and shook the palace fan , "Since the son-in-law has become the deputy commander, what will His Majesty arrange for King Xue?"

Wei'er understood, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the brothers of the Wu family are still locked up in the inner prison! Why don't you let His Highness King Xue go to try this case."

Concubine Li heard that the two of them brought up this matter, and knew that they wanted to reverse the case for Chang Xi, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Isn't the case of the brothers of the Wu family already settled? What else is there to try! Besides, His Royal Highness King Xue has just returned to Beijing, and he has to give the case to His Royal Highness." It's not the time to get close to the princess!"

The words were so sweet that Princess Xue's cheeks were stained red.

Hearing Concubine Li's words, Wei'er clearly wanted to kill Chang Xi, so she hurriedly said anxiously: "Then Wu Zhaoyi's grievances should be washed away by His Majesty!"

"Injustice?" The queen smiled slightly, "Wu Zhaoyi's brother has been convicted for protecting himself, where did the injustice come from! Today is a family feast for the fifth younger brother and the son-in-law, so don't talk about those unpleasant things. Are you talking about Longji?! "

"Hmm!" Li Longji nodded noncommittally.

Li Ye knew about Chang Xi's confinement to the palace a long time ago, but he couldn't enter the palace because of too many things recently. At this time, he hurriedly used the topic, "Wu Zhaoyi is usually gentle and virtuous, and she doesn't seem to be a person who protects the weak. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here. , please allow my younger brother to investigate carefully!"

Concubine Li and the Empress were displeased to hear Li Ye's insistence on this, but they pretended to be disapproving, fearing that Li Longji would accept King Xue's request, but Li Longji picked up the wine glass and smiled calmly, "She is my mother!" I know how to deal with this woman, so don't bother fifth brother!"

If Li Longji discussed this matter with Li Ye as a matter of state, Li Ye could continue talking, but he actually said that Chang Xi was his woman and let him dispose of it, then Li Ye couldn't say anything more, so he could only feel depressed. Let's drink.

Wei'er, Hua Cairen, and Cao Ye's Naji were all turned away when they saw King Xue. It seems that Chang Xi has no way out this time!Concubine Li and the queen both heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the truth of this matter. Concubine Li had already made up her mind to find someone to kill Li Longji quietly after she had forgotten about Chang Xi.

Li Longji didn't seem to be aware of all this, but told the dumb and speechless Xiao Yu, "Tomorrow the son-in-law will come to Xingqing Palace to take office! Maybe Heng Yue will take you with him!"

"No!" Xiao Yu cupped his hands respectfully.

Yu Zhen smiled like a spring, "The third brother is the best!"

Li Longji smiled slightly, "Today's night is fine, after drinking this cup, why don't I take everyone to Longchi to go boating and enjoy the moon?"

"It's rare for Your Majesty to be so interested, and the concubines will definitely accompany you!" The queen drank from the cup with a smile on her face.

Chang Xi sat on a wooden chair in the corridor of Jiaofang Hall with her knees hugged, looking at a round of bright moon in the sky, and the silver light was shining on the ground, adding a bit of resentment to the silent palace, listening to the faint singing in the distance , this must be the gala music for King Xue, but it is a pity that I may never be able to participate in such a feast in my life!

Recalling the events of the past few days, it seems like a lifetime away.

"Even though it's summer, you should pay attention to your body! What if you get sick with the wind blowing like this!" Mei'er held a white cloak and instructed earnestly.

Chang Xi smiled wryly, "How could she be so delicate!"

Looking at Chang Xi with a sad face, Mei'er smiled lightly, "Don't worry about Concubine Li, she won't be proud for long."

Chang Xi shook her head, what she cares about is not Concubine Li, but her own heart, the 'heartbreaker' in her heart!
"Go to sleep!" Seeing that the moon slid from mid-heaven to half-day, and Mei'er next to her also slumped and nearly fell asleep sitting up, Chang Xi held the cloak with her hands and went back to the bedroom silently.

In the early morning of the second day, before Chang Xi woke up, she heard Mei'er calling her softly beside her. When she looked at her sleepily, Mei'er's face was full of joy.

"What? Your Majesty, is he here!" Chang Xi suddenly sat up in surprise, and grabbed Mei'er's hand unnaturally with both hands excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Mei Er showed an embarrassed expression when she heard the words His Majesty, "He didn't come?" Chang Xi spit out the words slightly as a test.

Meer nodded slowly.

"Oh!" The pain in Chang Xi's heart instantly pervaded her whole body, and she let go of her hand in despair.

"But someone came to see you!" Mei'er wanted to pass on some joy to her in order to cheer her up.

"Who?" Chang Xi was a little bored, and didn't even want to care about who came, "His Royal Highness Xue? Thank you for his kindness. I appreciate it. I'm an ominous person. It's better not to get involved with him!"

Mei Er anxiously said: "What are you talking about! Who said you are an ominous person! And the one who came here." He lowered his head and whispered a name in Chang Xi's ear.

"How could it be!" Chang Xi was very surprised, her eyes widened instantly, and her black eyelashes trembled.

Meier took the clothes for her, "Go and have a look!"

Chang Xi lowered his head and hesitated, pinching the brocade quilt with his jade hands, he couldn't make up his mind, for a long time, "Go and have a look, maybe it's the last time!"
