Chapter 4 Princess Consort of Chen
Prime Minister Luo looked at the several guards kneeling before him, clenched his fists, and said in a sinister tone, "Have you found out?"
He didn't believe the horse would go mad for no reason.
Guard: "Reporting to Master, there are no signs that the horse has been drugged, so..."
Prime Minister Luo closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, he drew his sword and killed the guards.
He stared at the several dead guards on the ground and said in a gloomy tone, "How could there be no trace of poison? That horse must have been drugged. Otherwise, why would it go berserk for no reason?"
He kicked the guard closest to him a few more times, "Useless! You can't even find out this little thing."
"Men, drag them out."
"Yes, sir."
Three days later.
Prince Chen's Mansion.
Main courtyard.
Luo Xi looked at the red rose in her hand, gently plucked a petal, and asked casually, "How is Father doing?"
Zhuzhu: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister has been quite dejected lately and has even stopped attending court."
"Moreover, several people die in the manor every day."
"Yesterday, several officials visited the Prime Minister at his residence. They saw that the Prime Minister looked pale and aged several years."
Luo Xi smiled upon hearing this.
It seems that Luo Ming's death was a huge blow to him.
Luo Xi looked at the jade bracelet on her left wrist, lost in thought.
Prime Minister Luo was destined to die, but before he did, he possessed some things that she desired. For example, the token that allowed him to command the Prime Minister's secret guards.
night.
Luo Xi leaned against Qi Chen and said softly, "Your Highness, I would like to return to the Prime Minister's residence tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chen paused, his hand stroking her waist. "Back to the Prime Minister's residence?"
Luo Xi lowered her eyes. "Yes, I'm just going back to take a look. I'll be back soon."
Qi Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, then I'll go back with you."
Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.
Luo Xi gently shook her head. "No need, Your Highness. I can go back by myself. If you come back with me, my father will become suspicious."
After Xiaoju's death, Qi Chen had a bodyguard imitate Xiaoju's handwriting to deliver a message to Prime Minister Luo. Therefore, Prime Minister Luo is still unaware that Xiaoju is dead.
Last time, since they both survived, Qi Chen had his bodyguard send a message to Prime Minister Luo saying that she and Qi Chen had argued and the two cups of drugged tea had been overturned. That's why they were unharmed.
After a while,
Qi Chen then said, "Alright, then I'll have my guards follow you from a distance."
"good."
The next day, Luo Xi returned to the Prime Minister's residence.
The Prime Minister's Residence.
Luo Xi was startled to see Prime Minister Luo's pale face. It was the first time she had ever seen him like this; it seemed he truly loved his son.
She took a few steps forward, stood in front of him, and asked with concern, "Father, are you alright?"
When Prime Minister Luo saw Luo Xi's face, he was momentarily dazed.
"Xi'er? You're back?"
Luo Xi's eyes reddened, but she forced back her tears. "Yes, Father, your daughter is back."
When Prime Minister Luo saw Luo Xi's appearance, he knew that she was genuinely worried about him.
He lowered his guard a little when he saw her.
Prime Minister Luo: "Xi'er, I'm fine."
Luo Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and she took the opportunity to grasp his hand, "Father, how could you be alright?"
As she spoke, her voice choked with emotion, "Look at you, your face is pale, bloodless, even... even if..." Luo Ming is dead.
"But you also need to take care of your health."
Prime Minister Luo: "Yes, I understand."
They talked about other things in the study.
A quarter of an hour later, Prime Minister Luo felt that something was wrong with his body.
But he didn't know what was wrong.
Luo Xi saw it, but she didn't show it at all.
After a while, Prime Minister Luo handed the token in his arms to Luo Xi, saying, "Here, this is for you. It's the token of the secret guards in the commander's mansion."
"Father, why are you giving this to me?"
"I feel like my days are numbered. I know my own body best."
"shadow."
The next second, a bodyguard knelt before Prime Minister Luo.
“Shadow, I feel my body is failing. If I die, you will pledge your allegiance to Xi’er.”
Shadow: ? ? ?
"Yes, Master."
As bodyguards, their only duty was to obey orders. They had no need to concern themselves with anything else.
Prime Minister Luo was struggling internally; he didn't want to give these things to Luo Xi.
However, his hands did not stop moving at all, and the words that came out of his mouth were not what he wanted to say.
He desperately hoped that Shadow would notice something was wrong with him.
However, in the past few days, Prime Minister Luo's mood has been unpredictable, and he has even killed many of his secret guards.
Therefore, Shadow had no suspicions.
Prime Minister Luo said in a deep voice, "Shadow, you may leave now."
"Yes, Master."
Prime Minister Luo stared intently at Luo Xi.
It's her, it's... her.
Luo Xi looked at Prime Minister Luo, who had fallen to the ground, squatted down in front of him, smiled sweetly, and said silently, "Father, as your daughter, I couldn't bear to see you so sad, so I came to see you off."
She shook the token and jade pendant in her hand.
"I'll accept these."
"To thank you."
"Don't you love Luo Ming very much? I'll send you down now so you can reunite with your precious son."
Prime Minister Luo understood, and he wanted to say something more.
But the next second, Luo Xi, with a cold face, stuffed the small black pill in her hand into his mouth.
Prime Minister Luo opened his mouth, then fell to the ground, lifeless, dead.
