Chapter 816 She Can Be the Queen
The Yulin Guards immediately took action, prying open the mouths of the kidnappers one by one, and indeed found poison sacs in their mouths.
It is not an easy task to hide a poison sac in the mouth. You must first knock out a tooth and then insert the poison sac.
Ordinary people can never do this.
The only people who can achieve this level are the death squad and professional killers.
Xiao Xixi looked at Mr. Ye, whose face was as pale as death, and asked slowly.
"They call you the big boss, but assassins usually don't call their leaders that, so I guess you are professional killers.
I only know of one organization in the martial arts world that can afford so many assassins, and that is the Blood Rain Tower. "
As soon as Luo Yechen heard the words "Xueyu Tower", he jumped up immediately.
"The last time you tried to assassinate me in that shabby nunnery, it was a killer from the Blood Rain Tower. The old score hasn't been settled yet, and you dared to attack me again? Are you asking the heavens for your courage?!"
Mr. Ye remained silent.
In fact, he couldn't utter a word even if he wanted to.
Xiao Xixi looked around and found that there was no one living nearby, so it was a good place for Tibetans.
She pointed to the back door next to her and instructed.
"Lock these kidnappers in the warehouse. Don't let them die, and don't let anyone know they are here."
Shang Kui cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Yulin Guards dragged the kidnappers into the warehouse one by one.
Luo Yechen was puzzled: "Why don't you just hand them over to the government?"
Xiao Xixi: "The connections in the government are complicated. If we really send these kidnappers to the government, they might die quietly in prison within a day."
Luo Yechen was shocked: "Are you saying that there are accomplices of the kidnappers in the government?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "Not necessarily an accomplice."
…
The news that the King of England and the Concubine had escaped safely soon reached the ears of the Emperor.
The heavy stone that was hanging in Luo Qinghan's heart finally fell to the ground.
As long as Xixi is safe and sound, everything else will be fine.
Zhao Xian knelt on one knee on the ground and said respectfully.
"The Imperial Concubine said she had some things to do and might be back later. Your Majesty, please don't worry about her."
Luo Qinghan frowned slightly: "Where is she?"
Now that she was out of danger, why didn't she return to the palace? How long would she stay out there?
Zhao Xian: "The queen is in a small courtyard in the west of the city. Shang Kui and the Yulin Guards are guarding her side. There should be no problem with her safety."
Luo Qinghan patiently asked, "Did she say anything else?"
Zhao Xian: "Her Majesty said she wanted to ask Doctor Fang to come over and help. I beg Your Majesty to grant her permission."
Luo Qinghan felt a little unhappy, but still nodded in agreement.
In the evening, the Empress Dowager had the emperor invited to Changle Palace to have dinner with her.
Although it was said to be a dinner, the Empress Dowager actually wanted to take the opportunity to introduce Lu Xinyao to the Emperor.
Judging from her appearance alone, Lu Xinyao was impeccable, with a small oval face, watery eyes, and fair and delicate skin, like a beautiful and exquisite porcelain doll. With her careful dressing up, she was even more beautiful.
But she was raised in seclusion since she was a child, rarely went out, and had even less contact with the outside world.
Although she is the legitimate daughter of a Duke's family, she is even more timid than many girls from commoner families.
To put it nicely, her personality is simple and naive, but to put it bluntly, she is timid and cowardly.
When the selection was held, the Duke's Mansion prepared two girls of marriageable age, but at the last minute Lu Xinyao was left in the Duke's Mansion and was not sent to the palace to participate in the selection. The main reason was that Lu Xinyao was too timid.
In comparison, the other girl from the Lu family was much bolder, so she was sent to the palace and became Concubine Lu.
However, her success and failure were both due to Xiao He. She was too bold and brave but not wise, and soon brought about her own death.
Lu Xinyao knew the purpose of her entering the palace this time, and she was extremely nervous, especially when the emperor looked at her. She was so scared that she trembled all over and her little face turned pale as paper.
After the Empress Dowager introduced her identity, she asked her to pour a cup of tea for the Emperor.
Lu Xinyao walked over cautiously, stretched out her shaking hands, picked up the teapot tremblingly, and poured tea for the emperor.
Because her hands were shaking so badly, the tea swayed and spilled out of the cup.
She hurriedly took out her handkerchief and tried to wipe the spilled tea, but her movement was too big and her wide sleeve knocked over the teacup, splashing the tea directly onto the emperor.
Lu Xinyao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the teapot in her hand fell to the ground, breaking with a snap, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
The hem of her skirt was also wet by the tea, and she was so scared that she stepped back in a hurry. Her feet happened to step on the ground wet by the tea, and she slipped. She fell forward and pounced straight towards the emperor!
This scene stunned everyone present.
Even the Empress Dowager, who had seen many big scenes, opened her eyes wide.
She just wanted Lu Xinyao to meet the emperor and get to know each other. She didn't want Lu Xinyao to throw herself at the emperor as soon as they met.
Throwing herself into his arms in front of so many people, does Lu Xinyao still want to keep her reputation? !
Just when Lu Xinyao was about to throw herself into Luo Qinghan's arms, Luo Qinghan raised his hand and waved it. The strong wind created by his sleeves pushed Lu Xinyao back repeatedly.
Lu Xinyao stumbled and fell to the ground in a mess.
The floor paved with white marble is both smooth and hard, and it hurts a lot if you fall on it.
Lu Xinyao was already extremely nervous and scared, and with this fall, the last string in her head snapped.
She burst into tears!
Ms. Kong hurried forward to help Lu Xinyao up, and while gently comforting her not to cry, she helped her to the next room to change clothes.
After the people left, the room returned to silence.
Luo Qinghan looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile.
The Empress Dowager felt extremely ashamed.
She knew that Lu Xinyao was timid, but she didn't expect her to be so timid.
It wasn’t a big deal, but he started crying, and he was crying in front of so many people.
It's completely disgraced the Lu family!
The Empress Dowager tried her best to smooth things over.
"Xinyao is young, and it's her first time to meet the emperor at such a close distance, so it's inevitable that she's a little nervous. I'll teach her a lesson later."
Luo Qinghan: "Does the Empress really think she can be the Queen?"
Having just witnessed Lu Xinyao crying in public, the Empress Dowager really couldn't say the words "she can be the Queen".
But facing the emperor's expression as if he was watching a joke, the Empress Dowager was unwilling to admit defeat.
She pursed her lips and said, "No matter how bad Xinyao is, at least she is more suitable to be the queen than Princess Nanfeng."
Luo Qinghan's eyes sank.
When the Empress Dowager saw him like this, she knew that she had guessed his thoughts.
He really wanted Princess Nanfeng to be the queen.
