Chapter 354: Those who serve Tuoba Ruoli will not live long
Seeing Tuoba Xinglan getting angry, all the servants around him trembled with fear.
The third prince has always had a bad temper and is even more cruel in his dealings with others.
Normally, if the servants did anything wrong, they would be punished.
Now, they were guarding outside, but they let Tuoba Xinglan become like this. It is conceivable how angry Tuoba Xinglan is now.
Not getting their answer made Tuoba Xinglan even angrier.
"Are all of you dead? This prince is asking you, what exactly is going on?"
Everyone dared not remain silent any longer, but they really didn't know what was going on.
Someone with a quick mind thought of shifting the blame elsewhere, so he asked, "Third Prince, could this be related to those people from Dayong?"
These words instantly woke Tuoba Xinglan up.
"Now that you mention it...it's really possible!"
"Those people from Dayong pretended to be obedient in front of this prince. Who knows what they are thinking deep down?"
"Maybe he's pretending not to care, but secretly plotting revenge against this prince!"
"This matter! We absolutely cannot let it go like this!"
After making these harsh words, Tuoba Xinglan became even more furious when he saw that the servants around him were silent and motionless.
"Are you all dead? Hurry up and get some water ready! This prince needs to bathe and change clothes!"
Everyone suddenly woke up from their dream and did not dare to delay any longer, and hurried to prepare the things needed for bathing.
An hour later, Tuoba Xinglan finally cleaned himself up.
Even though I had changed my clothes and used a stronger incense than usual, I still felt an indescribable strange odor on my body.
Tuoba Xinglan knew that there was no real strange smell, it was just a psychological effect.
Once he takes revenge on those people, he will naturally no longer have this feeling!
Tuoba Xinglan comforted himself in his heart while walking downstairs.
As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw that there was no diner in the lobby below.
Even the shopkeeper and the waiter disappeared.
Sitting in the middle of the lobby was Tuoba Ruoli.
When he saw Tuoba Ruoli, Tuoba Xinglan raised his eyebrows. Why was she here?
Who leaked his whereabouts to Tuoba Ruoli?
Could it be that these people around him are spies sent by Tuoba Ruoli?
Thinking this in his heart, Tuoba Xinglan looked at the people around him with a different look.
Being stared at by Tuoba Xinglan with such eyes, everyone felt nervous.
Every time Tuoba Xinglan stares at someone with such eyes, that person will not live long!
Although they wanted to defend themselves, they knew better in their hearts.
If you don't say anything, you can live a little longer.
If you dare to speak up at this time, you will definitely die faster.
Tuoba Xinglan withdrew his gaze and quickened his pace to go downstairs.
Soon, he walked up to Tuoba Ruoli and said, "Sister Li'er, why are you here too? Are you here to eat roasted whole lamb too?"
Tuoba Ruoli gave Tuoba Xinglan a cold look and said, "Eat roasted whole lamb? If I were you, I would never eat roasted whole lamb in my life!"
Just by hearing this sentence, Tuoba Xinglan knew that Tuoba Ruoli already knew what had happened.
But how did she know?
Could it be that there really is a traitor around me?
Seeing Tuoba Xinglan looking at his servants, Tuoba Eruo knew what he was thinking and sneered, "You don't think I learned this from them, do you?"
"Isn't it?" Tuoba Xinglan asked back.
Tuoba Ruoli sneered, "You are the only one who thinks so.
Not only me, but the entire Wucheng, from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and vendors, now knows about this!
You have a brain, so you should be able to guess who did this, right?
Tuoba Xinglan didn't believe it at first, but then he thought about it.
If he lied about something like this, he would be exposed once he went out and someone asked about it.
Tuoba Ruoli would never tell such a lie.
She is telling the truth!
The ones who spread this news were those people from Dayong!
After understanding everything, Tuoba Xinglan was furious. "They are simply going too far! This prince will never forgive them!"
Tuoba Ruoli sneered, "I advise you not to think about these unrealistic things. You are no match for them at all. Even if there are ten of you, you will not be their match! This time, just treat it as a loss and a lesson. In the future, stay away from them when you see them! Or, don't leave the palace before they leave Wucheng! Otherwise, I am afraid that you will die without knowing how!"
Tuoba Ruoli's words sounded like persuasion.
But in fact, according to Tuoba Xinglan's character, these words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Tuoba Xinglan was furious, his eyes as big as copper bells.
"I am the Third Prince of Xiliang. This is Xiliang. Why should I be afraid of them? Why can't I leave the palace? This time, I was careless, which allowed them to succeed! But next time, they won't be so lucky!"
Tuoba Ruoli sighed, "Third brother, please don't be angry with me. I really made this suggestion for your own good."
"No need!" Tuoba Xinglan swung his sleeves fiercely, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"
He left these words domineeringly, turned around and walked out quickly.
He looked furious, as if he was going to fight Yu Youning and the others.
Tuoba Ruoli sat in her original position and watched Tuoba Xinglan leave with interest.
Zhuxiang, the senior palace maid beside her, said indignantly, "Your Highness! The Third Prince has gone too far! You're thinking of him wholeheartedly, but he doesn't appreciate it at all!"
But Your Highness, don't be angry. He didn't listen to your advice, and when he suffered, it was his own fault. Anyway, Your Highness, you have done what you should do."
Tuoba Ruoli had a self-serving smile on her face, "I don't need him to appreciate it, let alone thank you.
I just hope that he can continue to do what I envisioned, that's enough!"
Zhuxiang looked confused and didn't understand why Tuoba Ruoli said that.
Seeing Zhuxiang's puzzled expression, Tuoba Ruoli laughed again.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll explain it to you."
"If Tuoba Xinglan doesn't provoke Yu Youning and the others again, this matter will probably just pass."
"But after my persuasion just now, Tuoba Xinglan is definitely unwilling to let this matter go. He will definitely go and cause trouble for Yu Youning and the others."
"Of course I know that he is no match for Yu Youning and the others, but what does that matter?"
"I just want them to fight. The more fierce the fight, the better. It would be best if it were a fight to the death. No matter who wins in the end, it will only benefit me and not harm me."
There was a strong smile in Tuoba Ruoli's words, and even the expression on her face was full of pride.
Zhuxiang listened attentively at first.
But after hearing the latter part, he looked horrified.
She had just been with Tuoba Ruoli for a short time, but she had heard that the servants who served Tuoba Ruoli did not live long and were always eaten by Qiongqi for unknown reasons.
Zhuxiang had previously thought that as long as she was careful and served diligently, she would be able to survive.
But now...
Seeing the expression on Zhuxiang's face change and her eyes become terrified, Tuoba Ruoli smiled even more brightly.
"It seems that you are really smart. You have thought of the problem right away."
"You're going to die anyway, so I'll make sure you die knowingly."
"If you hear what you shouldn't hear, see what you shouldn't see, or know what you shouldn't know, then you can only die. In this world, only the dead have the strictest lips!"
Zhuxiang's guess was confirmed, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
She wanted to beg for mercy, but Qiongqi suddenly flew in from outside, opened his mouth, and swallowed her.
From beginning to end, Zhuxiang couldn't utter a single word.
Tuoba Ruoli looked at Qiongqi and smiled happily, "The two of us are becoming more and more in tune with each other!"
Qiongqi flapped his wings as a response.
"Let's go. From now on, we just have to wait and see the show!"
Qiongqi's body shrank, and finally flew into Tuoba Ruoli's arms like a little puppy.
A few years ago, Qiongqi was very picky about Tuoba Ruoli and looked down on many things about her.
But after spending a few years together, their relationship has improved a lot.
Tuoba Ruoli happily took Qiongqi out, but did not return to the palace, but went to the city gate.
The little emperor of Nanzhao is coming!
She still has to go and greet him!
...
After Yu Youning and his companions beat Tuoba Xinglan, they went straight back to the post station without any hesitation.
Yu Tingwan and others were having dinner, and they felt strange when they saw Yu Youning and others suddenly come back.
"Why are you back at this time?" Yu Tingwan looked at Yu Youning curiously, "Have you eaten?"
Yu Youning shook her head. "I haven't eaten yet! Mother, what else is there to eat?"
"That's perfect." Yu Tingwan laughed. "The kitchen prepared a roasted whole lamb, but we didn't want to eat it, and they didn't let us have it—"
"I'll eat! I'll eat!" Yu Youning said hurriedly.
Yu Tingwan had guessed it long ago and immediately made arrangements.
When Yu Youning and the others came back after washing their hands, there was already a roasted whole lamb on the table.
Looking at the crispy roasted whole lamb and smelling the rich aroma in the air, Yu Youning sighed.
“If I had known I could eat it in the post station, I wouldn’t have looked for it outside.
I wasted so much time, searched so many stores, and didn’t even get to eat a single bite! "
This made Yu Tingwan feel strange.
This roasted whole lamb is a famous dish in Xiliang.
As the center of Xiliang, Wucheng should be the most prosperous place, but how could they not even have roasted whole lamb? How could this be possible?
