Chapter 62: King of Nanping
On that day, Qianhe Liyou did not go to Luo Weiqing's Fengqing Palace after all, because she met Luo Yu on the way, and there was a woman with a refined aura standing beside him. The two seemed to be talking about something. Luo Yu's expression was quite gentle, and there was a touch of warmth in his eyes. Qianhe Liyou felt very uncomfortable when she saw Luo Yu like this.
"Report." Qianhe Liyou said to Feng Ying who had been following behind her. She rarely reported wherever she went, but it seemed necessary at this time.
"The Emperor Arrives"
Feng Ying's report was very effective. Everyone looked at Qianhe Liyou and knelt down to salute, including the woman who she found a little unpleasant. However, Qianhe Liyou's eyes were only on Luoyu who was also looking at her. Luoyu's expression did not change, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Your humble servant, Nanping King Xiao Yuwei, is here to greet our emperor. Long live our emperor!"
Xiao Yuwei, the King of Nanping, is in charge of the three southern cities. Fangmo City, Yuanyi City, and Xigu City are all within his territory. He controls 300,000 soldiers and is a powerful figure above ten thousand people and below one person. However, this person rarely appears in public and does not have to report to the capital every year. He has not appeared in the imperial city for many years, but suddenly appeared in the inner court of the imperial palace, and she, as the emperor, did not get any news at all.
Qianhe Liyou's eyes became deep and dark, and he was already on guard against this person.
"You'er, you're here too." Luo Yu walked forward a few steps and spoke softly.
"I passed by here and saw you here, so I came to see you. I didn't expect that King Nanping was here too. What a rare guest. Read it." Qianhe Liyou brought the topic to King Nanping. She wanted to know why King Nanping came to the imperial city and met the Queen Mother instead of the Emperor.
"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is approaching, and we are here to celebrate her birthday." Even in the face of the emperor's ridicule, Xiao Yuwei still remained calm and answered calmly. Of course, she knew the sarcasm in the emperor's tone, but so what? She has given up too much for the word "loyalty". She has never done anything to let the royal family down. She just wants to fulfill her little wish. Should she care about so much?
Luo Yu's birthday is still half a month away, and the Ministry of Rites is already preparing. At Qianhe Liyou's suggestion, this birthday banquet will be very grand.
"If You'er hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have wanted to celebrate my birthday, but I'm very happy to see you back." Luo Yu was obviously talking to the King of Nanping. Qian Heli You listened, and although she was quite satisfied with Luo Yu calling himself "the King", she was quite unhappy with the word "happy" at the end. What was the relationship between the King of Nanping and Yu? Why did she never know?
"It is my honor to make the Queen Mother happy. If the Queen Mother wants to see me, you can send someone to tell me at any time. I am always waiting to be summoned by the Queen Mother." Obviously, Prince Nanping was very happy about the Queen Mother's words. It can be seen from the expression on his face and his tone was even more cheerful.
Qian He Li You suddenly had some complaints in his heart. Why didn't this frontier official issue an order prohibiting people from entering the capital at will? What were the emperors of the previous dynasties thinking? If these people wanted to rebel, wouldn't it be easier?
"Yu, the weather is cold and you are wearing too little." Not wanting to let the other person irritate her emotions anymore, Qianhe Liyou walked to Luo Yu, took off her own cloak and put it on Luo Yu. Her movements were intimate but a little unnatural. After all, she had never done such a caring thing before and she still needed to get used to it.
Luo Yu was naturally a little surprised, but he accepted the shawl happily, "You'er, you have also learned to care about others, that's great."
"You don't know how to take care of yourself. Look, your hands are cold." Qian Heliyou held Luo Yu's hand very naturally, saying caring words, but his eyes looked at King Nanping intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes were gloomy and sharp, with a strong warning meaning, without any cover-up.
Of course, Prince Nanping also noticed that the emperor looked at her differently. She was secretly shocked, but more confused. She believed that she had not done anything to offend the emperor, so why did she attract such a look? Did she anger the emperor by entering the capital privately, or was she being warned by her presence here?
Prince Nanping looked at the overly intimate emperor and queen mother with doubt, and always felt that the emperor looked at her because of the latter. However, if this was the case, it would not make sense. She asked herself whether she was the only one who knew her feelings for Luo Yu, and she had never done anything beyond the rules, or whether the emperor had noticed something.
"You'er, don't..." Luo Yu seemed a little embarrassed by Li You's sudden affectionate gesture. He wanted to pull his hand back, but Li You held it stubbornly. He could only refuse softly. Although it was normal for father and daughter to shake hands, he always felt a little embarrassed.
"Yu, are you rejecting me?" Qianhe Liyou's displeasure at Luo Yu's rejection was fully expressed in his suppressed tone, and the anger that he had been suppressing was also revealed, and he held Luo Yu's hand a little tighter.
She was not good at hiding her emotions, and her usual gloomy and scheming appearance was just because she didn't care. But towards Luo Yu, her possessiveness even frightened herself. Her overly strong emotions were unlike her in the past.
A zombie, no matter how emotional it is, shouldn't be like this, but she just can't suppress it. Zombies' emotions are never under control, because the more they suppress them, the stronger the rebound will be. And excessive emotional fluctuations are not a good thing for zombies, because sometimes overly volatile emotions cannot be calmed down by simply sucking blood, and even killing is needed to suppress the restlessness in their hearts.
"I'm not, You'er, don't be like this, what's wrong with you?" Luo Yu noticed Li You's change at the first moment. He even saw a strange red light in Li You's eyes. That look made him a little frightened.
"Don't reject me, anything, anytime." Qianhe Liyou knew that his emotions were not right, but he didn't want to control them.
"I" Luo Yu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Qian He Li You, "Prince Nanping, the Queen Mother is not feeling well and is not suitable to meet guests. You should leave."
Qianhe Liyou's icy tone could freeze a person to death. Although King Nanping was unwilling, he was smart enough to know that this was not the time to act on impulse. She looked at Luo Yu with a worried look, but knelt down and left neatly. She thought that there were some things she should check carefully.
"You'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell or do you have something to tell me?" Luo Yu seemed to be relieved when he saw King Nanping leave, but when he saw Li You's abnormality, his tone became even more worried.
"What is your relationship with her?" Instead of letting the spy investigate, it is better to ask now. She doesn't want to wait any longer.
