Xiao Luochen's forehead throbbed when he heard this. His face was no longer as black as charcoal. It must be stinkier than eating shit.
He slammed the table and stood up.
"Sheng Wu, do you even know how to write propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame? Do you really think you can use this to threaten me?"
The sharp eagle eyes fixed on Sheng Wu, and the disgust and murderous intent in them seemed to turn into substance.
He knew that outsiders had spread rumors that he and Sheng Wu had some kind of relationship, but that was all nonsense. At most, when he was still the crown prince, he had visited the unmarried Sheng Wu a few times at the general's residence.
Seeing her outstanding talent and stunning appearance, I subconsciously took a few more glances at her.
In addition, the General's Mansion later intended to arrange a marriage, and he needed the support of the General's Mansion. He also liked Sheng Wu, so he agreed. Later, he occasionally went to the General's Mansion to give gifts to his future wife.
After a few times, there is some vague feeling involved.
But that's all.
But who would have thought that later on, the General's Mansion would actually send his nominal Crown Princess back to the palace and marry her to his father as the Queen, in an attempt to get a share of the spoils from the late Emperor. How could he not know their plan!
But the late emperor was old and confused, and was actually seduced by Sheng Wu's beauty!
After learning about Sheng Wu's arrogant, domineering, vicious and selfish temper, he naturally didn't have a good face. Due to the general's residence, he turned a blind eye to the queen mother. But who would have thought that she would be so shameless and actually come to him to seek death!
"Propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. Ha, if I only cared about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today."
Sheng Wu restrained her smile this time, and a sad sneer appeared on her charming face. She slowly lowered her eyes, and her beautiful eyes instantly dimmed.
It's like stars covered with dust, which makes people feel sorry.
"You think I will believe it!"
But Xiao Luochen just looked at him silently, as if he was looking at a clown.
"I have something I want to tell you. If you're willing, please move to the side hall. If not, I will never come back to bother you again."
Sheng Wu raised her eyes slightly, her gaze was tender and seemed to have a thousand tender feelings to express, but was hindered by certain realities. Due to the contradiction, her extremely beautiful face, so pure and flawless, made people's hearts subconsciously soften.
I don’t know if it was Sheng Wu’s words just now that attracted Xiao Luochen, or if it was her current sad and beautiful appearance that would make people, especially men, feel inexplicably compassion.
Xiao Luochen pursed his lips, his sharp eyes dark for a while, but he finally let go.
"I want to see what you can say!"
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, walked down from the desk, passed by Sheng Wu, and went straight to the side hall.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Wu, who had just been so sad and lonely, smiled softly, and her gentle and beautiful eyes were filled with cold and viciousness.
[Black Dumpling, help me block out the pain.]
[Huh? Oh well, but I can only block out 80% of my pain, and for an hour.]
Enough.
Then, Sheng Wu followed slowly, fan in hand.
As soon as he entered the side hall, Xiao Luochen saw the dishes on the table, and his face couldn't help but darken, and he shot cold eyes at Sheng Wu.
"You asked me to come here just to eat?"
"Why, are you afraid that I'll poison the drink?"
Sheng Wu didn't notice anything at all. She smiled softly and walked forward slowly.
While taking off the furry coat, he walked past Xiao Luochen, put the coat on the screen next to him, and sat on the soft chair.
As she passed by, a faint fragrance filled the air, which was very refreshing and inevitably soothed Xiao Luochen's violent mood.
"I want to see what you have to say!"
He snorted coldly and sat down.
There were many secret guards guarding outside the imperial study. He himself had learned martial arts, so naturally he didn't think that a woman like Sheng Wu could do anything to him.
Seeing that Sheng Wu was not wearing a palace dress but a dress commonly worn by young ladies from aristocratic families, and that her outfit seemed quite simple and elegant compared to today, Xiao Luochen naturally noticed something unusual.
"This is what you wore when you first met me at the General's Mansion."
Seeing that he noticed her clothes, Sheng Wu's face lit up with joy, the kind of secret joy that comes from being noticed by her loved one. Her fair skin couldn't help but reveal a layer of blush, which made her beautiful and charming.
Hearing this, Xiao Luochen couldn't help but frown and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He seemed to recall something, but it didn't show on his face.
Sheng Wu opened the pot of wine she brought, poured a glass, and handed it to Xiao Luochen. Her eyes were gentle but with a hint of bitterness in them.
"You probably won't remember any of this, right? After all, I know you've always only considered me a suitable candidate for a wife, so why would you care about this?"
Xiao Luochen paused for a moment after hearing this, unable to refute. After all, he was pursuing a great cause and would never dwell too much on romantic matters.
Seeing that Sheng Wu's hand holding the wine glass had been lingering in mid-air, Xiao Luochen remained silent for a moment, and finally raised his hand to take the green wine glass in her hand, but did not drink it directly.
Xiao Luochen stared at her with his eagle eyes and spoke coldly.
"There's no point in saying more. Now that you're the Queen Mother, just be a good Queen Mother."
If she continues to act recklessly like this, she will be killed before the general's mansion collapses.
Seeing that he didn't drink, Sheng Wu didn't panic. She poured herself a glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The two of them sat not far from each other. In fact, Sheng Wu had deliberately chosen to sit downwind from the open window. This way, the delicate fragrance from her body was carried by the natural wind towards Xiao Luochen.
All she needed to do was delay time.
