The Legend of Yaoxian's Departure

Chapter 139 The Emperor's Promise

"Don't wake up the lady, let her sleep for a while."

When Lu Ji woke up, she felt dizzy and dizzy. She opened her mouth to speak, but her throat felt hot and dry.

"Cough cough."

The maid outside the house heard the movement and quickly entered the door with a tray.

"Miss."

"Water." Lu Ji said hoarsely.

The maid said: "Yes, the hangover soup is prepared for you." She said and handed over a bowl.

Lu Ji was so thirsty that she drank it in a big gulp.After drinking the hangover soup, I felt a sudden burst of relief.

The maid helped her to sit up against the bed frame, and Lu Ji smiled softly: "This thing really works, Xiang'er, where did this prescription come from?"

Xiang'er replied: "Your Majesty ordered someone to prepare this, keep it warm, and wait for the empress to wake up."

Lu Ji sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and raised her voice: "Has your majesty come down?"

Xiang'er said: "Yes, and besides, your majesty, you were brought back by His Majesty himself."

Lu Ji felt a little numb in her head, and tried her best to echo what was posted last night, but she couldn't think of anything related to the emperor.

She shook her head and asked, "What time did Bengong come back yesterday?"

Xiang'er thought for a while: "When the sky is about to dawn."

At this time, the little eunuch outside shouted: "Your Majesty is here."

Lu Ji's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "I don't see you!"

At this time, Emperor One had already entered.

Lu Ji quickly covered herself with the quilt, and the emperor saw that she had wrapped herself up into a ball, smiled, and waved her out.

The emperor sat by the bed and looked at the quilt with a smile: "What's wrong with my concubine? Why didn't I see you all night, and even forgot the etiquette."

Lu Ji was still thinking about what happened before, and when the emperor said this, she became furious.You have the nerve to mention courtesy to me, did you think of me when you were fooling around with other women?But she couldn't say that.

"The concubine, who hasn't washed and washed, looks haggard and shameless. I'm afraid that I will frighten the holy driver, and I hope your majesty will forgive me."

The emperor said solemnly: "Well, my concubine is indeed quite haggard today. It's not like the beautiful girl I just accepted yesterday, but she is really beautiful and youthful."

As soon as Lu Ji heard it, tears burst out, and she wrapped herself even tighter.

Seeing this, the emperor was displeased and said: "Your concubine, I brought a beautiful girl to see you today, hurry up and wash up, and meet me."

Lu Ji wiped away her tears, held back her tears and said: "The concubine really can't see people now, so it's not good to ask your majesty to wait with all the younger sisters. Please also ask your majesty to take the younger sisters away, and the concubine will go in person someday."

"No, you must meet today." The emperor's voice became more and more icy.

Lu Ji evaded again: "The concubine can't go."

The emperor raised his voice: "Concubine, do you want to resist the edict?"

After entering the palace for a year, why did the emperor treat her like this? Lu Ji was furious, the smell of alcohol from yesterday had not completely dissipated, she used all her brains, threw off the quilt with all her strength, stood straight in front of the emperor and stared at him, He roared angrily, "I just don't want to see them, what do you want?"

After this roar, she regretted it. Seeing that the emperor didn't look angry, she looked at her with a suppressed smile.In the end, he was stunned by her roar.After a while, the emperor smiled.

Only then did Lu Ji realize that she had been tricked by the emperor, so she simply hid at the foot of the bed.

The emperor held back his smile, crawled over and hugged Lu Ji to coax her, "Okay, don't be angry, Concubine Ai, there is no one else here, only us."

Lu Ji's tears welled up in her eyes, and when she met the emperor's gentle eyes, she couldn't bear it any longer, she threw herself into his arms and cried.

"I don't want, I don't want, I don't want! I don't want those people to come in, I don't want you to leave me."

The emperor hugged her, patted her on the back, kissed her ears, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I will not leave you, and I will never leave you."

After Lu Ji finished crying, the emperor hugged her in his arms and said, "My dear concubine, the situation in the court is unstable now, and the northern wolves are invading. I and General Duan are going to send troops, but the others want to negotiate a peace. In order to gain more support, I will There is no other way than this.”

Lu Ji raised her head slightly and looked at him: "Wolf clan?"

The emperor nodded: "Well, if we compromise at this time, our Great Qin will never have peace. The first to suffer is the people at the border."

Lu Ji immediately got up and held the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I didn't know that such a big thing happened. What you did was right. I shouldn't add trouble to you at this time." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head slightly Head, with a guilty look.

Seeing such a look on her palm-sized face, the emperor felt even more distressed. He touched her cheek, shook his head and said, "My concubine, you are not wrong, it is my fault. I am not strong enough. Just wait a little longer. After a few years of completely solving them, no one can stop us anymore."

Lu Ji got such a promise from the emperor, and nodded movedly.

When Li Luo woke up, it was already noon.Lu Ji excitedly pulled her up from the bed, and talked happily.What to say specifically, she was still a little confused at the time, so she didn't quite remember.The general meaning is that, as she said before, the emperor did not disappoint her, but because as the emperor, he had to do so, blah blah blah...

Li Luo was confused and confused: "Hehe, so you dragged me to drink so much yesterday, what's the point of getting me hungover..."

Lu Ji was also a little embarrassed, and scratched her head: "I didn't expect that His Majesty would personally send me back to my room yesterday, and even guarded me in the middle of the night. It was only this morning that His Majesty explained to me. During this year in the world, I don’t usually see this kind of playbooks where lovers become strangers due to misunderstanding. But it wasn’t until it happened to me that I realized that the most important thing between lovers is trust. After this incident, Tuer also has What you have gained. Don’t worry about what happened yesterday with your apprentice!” As he spoke, he pulled Liluo’s sleeve and shook it.

Li Luo pulled back her sleeves silently, and laughed dryly: "So what do you mean by showing your affection to me, an old man?"

Lu Ji was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and withdrew her hand: "Hehe, hehe, uh... that's not right!" She seemed to remember something, bit her lips and said, "Then what, I seemed to vaguely hear it last night. Master, you are calling someone's name."

Li Luo suddenly felt his scalp go numb, could it be that he was so drunk that he called someone's name?Lu Ji was still trying to remember, but was thrown out the door neatly.

Liluo doesn't like being disturbed, so there are no palace ladies and eunuchs in the Taoist temple.At this moment, she drove Lu Ji away, closed the door by herself and sat back on the bed, the room was cold and silent.The realization that Lu Ji got made her feel sad for no reason.So, she decided to go out of the palace for a walk.

Get up, where should you go?

Li Luo suddenly remembered that he and Xue Ji lived in the mortal world for a while, and went to that place with a thought.The old houses are sandwiched between the pavilions and courtyards, which seem out of place.

After entering the gate, the courtyard is very clean and tidy, but everything inside is still as it used to be.Walking to the house where I lived before, and pushing open the door, the past came to my mind one by one.

I didn't know how long I stood there, until Li Luo felt tears falling from his eyes, and then he came back to his senses.She wiped away her tears, turned and went out the door.

An old lady next door was passing by with a vegetable basket, and when she saw someone coming out of this yard, she went up to say hello enthusiastically.

"Big sister, you are the mistress of this house!"

Li Luo was taken aback by the sudden "big sister", and then smiled and said: "No, I was just passing by. Seeing the interesting appearance of this house, I came in to take a look."

The aunt didn't feel disappointed when she heard that it was not the owner of this house, she followed Li Luo's words and said, "That's right, this house has been around for some time, our family's ancestors can't tell when it was. To say that this house is really strong enough, it has been ups and downs for so many years, and I don’t know what it is made of, but it won’t fall.” He sighed and said: “Oh, this rich and noble family is different from us ordinary people. "

Li Luo smiled: "Do you know who lives here?"

The aunt laughed and said: "I don't know, no one has lived in this house, but every month, a young descendant will come to clean it. Maybe, this house is the ancestral house of that descendant's family." She looked at Li Luo for a while and asked, "Isn't the girl from the local area?"

Li Luo nodded: "Well, I'm a passerby."

The aunt enthusiastically said: "Miss, do you want to go to the old woman's house and sit down? I just bought vegetables." She opened the vegetable basket and showed it to Li Luo.

Li Luo took a look, there were fish and meat inside.

The aunt seemed very happy: "Today is the day when my son comes home. My son is studying in the capital!"

Li Luo smiled: "Thank you, Ma'am, it's so late and I have to go on my way, so don't bother me. If I come here again in the future, I will definitely pay a visit."

The aunt looked at the sky, the sun had already started to slant to the west, thinking that it was really not safe for a girl to drive outside, so she didn't force her, she said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go first!"

Li Luo smiled and bowed slightly.

When the aunt came in and the door closed, the smile on Li Luo's face faded away.

This house has gone through 3000 years, and no matter whether it is a war or a natural or man-made disaster, it cannot be shaken.The aunt also said that a man came back every month to clean the place.Li Luo didn't need to think about who it would be. Besides the blood sacrifice, who else would waste time on this human house.

If it is a little monster like Lu Ji, maybe it will feel very romantic.But in Li Luo's eyes, there are conspiracies everywhere.

"Such hypocrisy is disgusting, it's better to set you on fire." As he said, a flame appeared in his hand.Just as he was about to throw the flames into the house, his hand stopped.The autumn wind rolled up a few dead leaves at the door, the door of the house was closed tightly, the house was right there, and there was no sound from the world.There seemed to be a roar in Ke Liluo's ears, as if he heard the mournful cry of the house.Li Luo's hand was slowly lowered, and the flame in his hand was gradually extinguished.
