Chapter 372 Retreat!

Qingluan saw that his mother was still looking sad, so he thought of a way. "Your Majesty, the emperor used to like to eat the horseshoe yam cake made by your empress most. It is raining time. If your empress sends it over, the emperor will feel distressed and happy."

Li Rouguang looked at the rain falling outside, and unconsciously recalled the last time when he was in the military tent, when Yunxi got angry, he hesitated.

Qingluan continued: "Your Majesty, this opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again! You miss the emperor, that's a matter of course, so you go to see the emperor, the emperor must be moved by this exquisite thought of the empress, and he must be reluctant to blame the empress ah!"

Li Rouguang was a little bit moved by what she said, and on second thought, maybe he could use this opportunity to make the emperor realize that he is the considerate, gentle and sensible woman, so he won't be like The kind of empress who can only play with her temper is the same!

Thinking of Luo Mingxuan's gentle treatment of him, Li Rouguang blushed unconsciously, glared shyly at Qingluan, who covered her lips and smiled, and urged her to prepare things, so she showed off her skills and waited. He took the cakes and went to see Luo Mingxuan.

When the basket of exquisite and beautiful snacks was finally finished, Li Rouguang deliberately brewed the best honeysuckle tea for cooling off in this hot weather, packed them together, and put them in the food basket.

Unknowingly, the rain outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the raindrops splashing on the ground became more and more violent, almost soaking the skirts of people walking.

In Lingxi Palace, incense was lit to dispel moisture, and the faint smoke rose slowly with the rain, permeating into the air before dissipating.

Luo Mingxuan sat leaning against the desk by the window. On the desk were a pile of reviewed and unreviewed memorials, and the table was full.

He picked up one of the memorials with a serious expression, circled it, and finally finished writing the comments before putting it on the other side.

"Your Majesty, the concubine Rou outside is asking to see you." The little eunuch walked in and passed the word at the door.

"No." Luo Mingxuan frowned, and refused without thinking.

During this period of time, he has accumulated a lot of memorials to read, many of which are related to the famine among the people. The amount of silver to be allocated by the court has not yet been determined, and he has to prepare everything carefully.

I have been recuperating from my illness all the time, and when I can't use God much, I wish I had some time to read the memorial, so how can I let others disturb me?

"Yes." The little eunuch got the answer and immediately went out to report.

It's just that he didn't go there for a long time, and then came in again. "emperor……"

"What's the matter?" Luo Mingxuan frowned even more, and impatiently put the writing brush in his hand on the table. "If you can't explain why, I'll take your head!"

"The emperor calms down—the emperor calms down!" The little eunuch immediately knelt down shivering, and hurriedly said: "It's the soft concubine outside who refuses to leave, and she can only let go if she asks to see the emperor, and this servant is just a messenger. , in the final analysis... I dare not chase Concubine Rou away!"

Luo Mingxuan pinched the center of his brows with a headache, and after a long while, he said: "Forget it, let's pass it in, it just so happens that I have something to explain."

"Yes—" The little eunuch hurried out.

It took only a while, almost before the little eunuch left the door of the main hall, Li Rouguang followed closely behind.

She put away the oil-paper umbrella she was holding, handed it to the maid at the side, straightened her bun, and then approached Luo Mingxuan with a smile on her face, and bowed profusely.

"Rou'er pays tribute to the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

"Get up." Luo Mingxuan pinched his eyebrows, raised his eyes slightly, and then looked away. "My concubine is here, but what's the matter?"

Li Rouguang handed over the food box that Qingluan was carrying, and put it on the table in front of Luo Mingxuan, she said softly: "The emperor has been reading the memorial for the past few days, and the little eunuch at the door said that the emperor's I don't have a good appetite, and I know that the emperor likes horseshoe yam cake made by my concubine, so I specially made it to adjust the taste for the emperor."

While talking, she pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly.

"Your majesty must be exhausted reading the booklet. This honeysuckle tea is the best way to cool off the heat, but it can help the emperor resist the discomfort. Please don't dislike the clumsiness of the courtiers and concubines. The scented tea made is not good. "

Hearing this, Luo Mingxuan knew that Li Rouguang was treating her well. Over the years, Luo Mingxuan had also taken into account what kind of person she was.

Hearing Li Rouguang's words, he felt a little relieved on his face.

He took the warm tea from Li Rouguang, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Aifei's tea is naturally good, why would I dislike it?"

The shy blush on Li Rouguang's face became more intense, and the joyful smile in her eyes became more moving.

"It's good that the emperor doesn't dislike it, but if he really dislikes it, the concubine really doesn't know what to do."

That little girl's coquettish tone is the most capable of touching a man's heart, coupled with her charming eyebrows at this time, and her anger and smile are all charming, which makes people's hearts flutter when they see it.

But Luo Mingxuan just sipped his tea, and didn't look up at her again.

Li Rouguang couldn't help but feel sore, but forced himself to smile and said, "Is the emperor's previous wound healed?"

Speaking of this, she involuntarily looked at Luo Mingxuan, her anxiety and worry palpable.

"Okay, it's nothing serious." Luo Mingxuan responded casually, paused for a moment, and said, "I let you in this time because I have one thing to ask you to do."

Li Rouguang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Yes, please tell your majesty, my concubines will definitely do their best."

"You also know that the queen's health is not good right now." Luo Mingxuan's eyes deepened, "but there are a lot of things to deal with in the harem. If they accumulate until the day when the queen recovers, it must be a big problem. This is a huge project, so the power to assist the Sixth House, which was taken from you before, will be given to you now, and you must handle it properly without any extra thoughts, understand?"

The coercion from the emperor in Luo Mingxuan's words made Li Rouguang almost out of breath.

"Yes, my concubine... I will definitely do well, and I will never disappoint the emperor's thoughts." Li Rouguang obediently agreed.

"Very good." Luo Mingxuan nodded in satisfaction.

Although Li Rouguang obediently agreed, the turbulent waves that couldn't stop turning up in her heart almost swallowed all her reason.

She is not a fool, as soon as she entered Lingxi Palace, she saw piles of memorials on Luo Mingxuan's desk, and she could not fail to see the tired look on Luo Mingxuan's face come out.

Luo Mingxuan's thoughts... How could he see her ability and hand over the harem to her?

Obviously he was afraid that the empress would be troubled like him, so he gave himself the power to control the harem.

What a cold irony!

No matter how sad and unwilling Li Rouguang was in her heart, she couldn't say anything.

Isn't the emperor's concubine supposed to be like this?
If you have grievances, you can't say it, if you are unwilling, you can't express it. You can only quietly pretend to be a gentle, considerate and understanding woman. Only in this way will you not be rejected by the emperor.

She is like this, but the empress... is not.

Li Rouguang's hands were tightly squeezed.

She was stiff for a long time before she finally eased her expression. She just thought of another reason to stay with Luo Mingxuan for a while, but Luo Ya pushed the door open and walked in, holding a porcelain white The small bowl was empty, nothing was put in it.

But... it's sparkling, as if filled with water?

"Your Majesty, it's time." Roja said such a sentence inexplicably.

Li Rouguang was wondering in his heart, what exactly is the time?
After waiting for Luo Mingxuan's actions, she was so panicked that she almost dropped the empty teacup in her hand.

Luo Mingxuan got up, picked up the pile of reviewed memorials on the side of the table, and thus revealed his real body with the knife under the cover.

That knife was extremely beautiful, and the scabbard was inlaid with rubies to decorate it. The complicated lines went down along the direction of the rubies and spread to the handle of the knife.

Luo Mingxuan pulled out the knife, and under Li Rouguang's puzzled eyes, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the incomplete and hideous wound underneath.

"Ah—" Li Rouguang looked at the wound and couldn't help but gasped.

Could it be that the emperor himself rowed it up?

Luo Mingxuan didn't blink, aimed at his already scarred wrist, and mercilessly slashed at it again——

The wound that wasn't perfect at all, but now because of this sudden cut, blood was gushing out like a faucet spewing out.

With quick eyesight, Luo Ya stretched out the white porcelain bowl towards the position below Luo Mingxuan's wrist. When the bowl was almost half full of blood, Luo Mingxuan casually tapped the acupuncture points on the position above his arm. Roja quickly applied the medicine and bandaged himself.

Li Rouguang was so frightened that Huarong turned pale. She didn't know what to say for a long time. She didn't go forward until Roya was about to leave, and she hugged Roya. She was both puzzled and distressed. To Luo Mingxuan, said: "What is the emperor doing? Why do you treat your body like a child's play and do such a terrible thing!"

Luo Mingxuan frowned, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. They should have been filled with cynical smiles, but now they were cold, and Li Rouguang's heart suddenly trembled with fear.

"This is beyond your control, back down!"
