Chapter 84 Who Provoked Him
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly, "You said Mingxi has no internal energy?"
As she spoke, Mu Ying had already changed her clothes.
She had just showered and was dressed casually, with loose, drooping clothes and a slightly open collar, revealing a bit of her porcelain-white, smooth skin.
Mu Ying knew the princess's habits after bathing, so she did not tighten her clothes for her.
"Yes, I have tested him, and he does not have any internal strength."
[Ming Xi has no internal energy, but he's not a pure human either, so he also has powers that you don't know about, understand?]
[And if Mingxi stays in the water for a long time, she can turn into a fishman. Hehehe, I want to see it.]
[By the way, what happened just now? Why is there a hole in the roof? ]
Zhao Yue looked at the debris on the ground and said, "Ming Xi is a mermaid and cannot be compared with ordinary people.
Mu Ying nodded.
Lin Zhaoyue looked up at the hole in the roof. "The guards at the mansion have been tightening up lately. If we see any thieves breaking in..." She paused for a moment. "They will be killed without mercy."
Mu Ying: "Yes."
After Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, she turned around and slowly left the messy place.
Mu Ying also glanced at the ground.
When I saw such a big pillar broken and scattered around, I understood why Mingxi was injured.
Anyone who gets hit by this will probably vomit blood.
The other side.
After Mingxi returned to the room, he looked at the wounds on his body and his eyes turned cold.
At that time, he clearly felt a force of true energy coming straight towards him.
With a murderous look of horror.
If he hadn't taken action, he would have been seriously injured if not killed.
But that true energy was hidden very well, and I'm afraid the princess would just think that he was injured by a fall.
There's someone on the roof.
The fact that he didn't even notice it at first showed that this person had extremely high skills and deep internal strength.
Who is it?
How could she hide on the roof of the princess's mansion without being discovered by the heavily guarded secret guards?
A person suddenly came to his mind.
The man I met at the palace banquet that day.
That was the only person who was not affected by his appearance at all and had murderous intentions towards him...
It seems that there are many people around Her Royal Highness who have ill intentions towards her...
A chill ran down his blue eyes, and the corners of his pale lips curled up coldly.
That night, after Lin Zhaoyue fell asleep.
【Who provokes him again? 】
[I don't know, why is Xiao in such a bad mood? ]
No, I was angry just now. What's on your mind now? Why is your face flushing unnaturally?
[Ahhh, what is Lao Xiao doing with his hands? Is this how the Five Fingers Girl uses them?]
【Why the hell are you not letting me watch it again? 】
[Give me some more, I'll help the princess identify it with my own eyes]
[The villain is probably so excited because he's trying to peek at the princess taking a bath.]
Although the villain's love for the princess is somewhat morbid, he was actually quite self-disciplined and respectful in the early stages. Besides, if he had actually seen the princess's body, would he have been able to hold back?
[That’s true…]
…
The next day.
I heard that during the morning court session, the ministers and officials once again had a dispute over the issue of the crown prince.
One group of officials believed that the prince was not capable of handling the important task now, while the other group believed that the prince had done nothing wrong in the past few years and was simply deeply in love. He should not be denied because of one incident and that his house arrest should be lifted to see the results.
It is said that the two sides quarreled fiercely and used all kinds of curse words on each other.
The civil officials cursed even more foully than the military officials, and the whole court was filled with spitting from the quarreling of a bunch of old fellows.
Day by day, the prince's gang brought up Princess Zhaohua.
As soon as Princess Zhaohua was brought out, the princess party became unhappy.
"What does the prince's affairs have to do with the princess? Don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, the prince is already an adult, and nothing he does will hinder the princess."
"A princess would never do such a ridiculous thing!"
"Oh, you old bastards didn't look like this when you complained about Her Royal Highness the Princess interfering in the Crown Prince's affairs!"
"So what if it's my sister? The princess has done her best. Now you want to kidnap the princess? Why don't you just tie you up and kill yourself?"
"What, you don't agree? Come and fight me!"
The emperor said nothing and just drank tea.
And just when the three parties were arguing fiercely.
Some people accused Marquis Xuanping of not educating his son well and allowing the crown prince Lu Chenzhou to offend the royal family and despise the imperial power.
At the welcoming banquet for the envoys from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts, both the Seventh Princess's words and Chu Yinyin's testimony became evidence of Lu Chenzhou's contempt for the royal family.
The emperor's eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was somewhat interested.
"Your Majesty! Now, in the streets and alleys, including in the homes and backyards of officials, there are rumors that Prince Lu had an affair with Chu Yinyin during his marriage to the princess! These rumors are simply filthy!"
"Your Majesty, please punish the Marquis Xuanping for his poor parenting!"
"Marquis Xuanping has commanded his own army in Xiling, yet he now allows his son to flout the imperial authority. I'm afraid he'll plot a rebellion someday!"
When the officials who had come to report Marquis Xuanping came out, the officials who were arguing stopped.
Originally, most officials just watched the matter between Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin for fun.
I just thought the princess would not let them go, but I didn't expect that the princess would actually help them.
This made many officials who maintained imperial power feel indignant.
Even the princelings would feel unhappy.
In addition, they had all seen Chu Yinyin before. She was full of nonsense, committed treason, and even committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
It's ridiculous that the prince and this woman are having an affair!
Especially in the past two days, everyone in the harem was talking about the dirty deeds between Master Lu, the Crown Prince, and Chu Yinyin, and they all spoke as if they had seen them with their own eyes.
This kind of atmosphere has penetrated into the homes of these officials, which makes them even more dissatisfied.
This also led to dissatisfaction with Xuanping Hou and Lu Chenzhou.
At this moment, the eunuch outside the palace sang: "The Duke of Zhenguo has arrived——"
The officials who were talking at once all looked at the old man who walked out of the hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
When Lin Zhaoyue learned about what happened in the court, she was feeding fish on the corridor.
"Grandpa finally went to court." She sighed softly.
"The palace is reporting that the Duke has been lambasting the Marquis Xuanping and his son in court, clamoring to seek justice for you. As soon as the Duke opened his mouth, many officials joined in, accusing the Marquis Xuanping and his son of contempt for imperial authority."
Lin Zhaoyue said slowly, "The title of Duke Zhenguo does carry some weight. Although he hasn't been involved in court affairs in recent years, he has many disciples within the court. He was the first to impeach the Marquis Xuanping for defying imperial authority and failing to educate his son. So the weight is different."
Before she went to see her grandfather, he had already gone to court to seek justice for her.
A warm feeling rose in my heart.
She threw the fish food in her hand into the lake.
"But it won't be that quick to act against Marquis Xuanping. Let's wait until the envoys from the Beast Nation leave the capital."
Her father is also an old fox.
Have to install one more.
Now the envoys of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts are still in the capital, and the future of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts and Daxia is still unknown.
Therefore, even if we want to take action, we have to wait until the envoys from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts leave the capital.
The country's political affairs and military actions cannot be known to outsiders in advance.
Mu Ying nodded, then said with amusement, "I never thought these ministers who usually look so elegant could argue so fiercely in the court."
Lin Zhaoyue asked, "Do you know why military commanders always hate civil officials?"
Mu Ying shook her head.
Lin Zhaoyue laughed, "Because the civil officials' curses are actually even more vulgar than those of the military officers, and they are even more shameless, yet they often boast of their literary integrity. While the military officers may curse crudely, they never flaunt their elegance. Therefore, the military officers always think that the civil officials are cunning."
Mu Ying was curious, "Cunning?"
Lin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mu Ying. "Yes, he is cunning. But this world needs cunning people to move the wheel of history. Because they can judge the situation and distinguish between advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes, being too upright is not a good thing."
Mu Ying nodded and subconsciously asked, "What does the princess think of Commander Xiao?"
Mu Ying regretted it the moment she said it.
She knew clearly that there was discord between the princess and Lord Xiao, so why did she still say anything?
But she was indeed curious about what the princess thought of Lord Xiao now.
Because she discovered that the relationship between the princess and Lord Xiao... seemed different from before.
Hearing this name, Lin Zhaoyue's eyes moved slightly.
"He's a powerful official," she said slowly, "a pillar of support, but also a hidden danger."
After a pause, he said, "He is a man of great talent. He can quell chaos with his martial arts and govern the country with his literary skills. In this world, there is no one who can rival him."
Even though she had some opinions about Xiao Tingye, it was undeniable that he was indeed the best among his peers, or in other words, he had reached the pinnacle.
People with such great talents as him are rare in the world.
But this person's character is too complicated and too unpredictable.
He was able to hide his feelings for so many years.
So, does he have other thoughts?
[The princess has always recognized Lao Xiao]
[The princess has never denied him, but she has always felt that Lao Xiao is too scheming and therefore dislikes him.]
[Alas, actually, the villain's scheming is just because he is hiding his love for the princess, and as he keeps hiding it, it becomes twisted.]
[Yeah, when the princess got married, the villain cried like a puppy in his bed. If the princess hadn't been so crazy about Lu Chenzhou at the end, he wouldn't have gone crazy...]
Lin Zhaoyue was slightly stunned.
Mu Ying smiled, "The princess thinks very highly of Commander Xiao."
Lin Zhaoyue came back to her senses and said calmly, "That's exactly why he is also a nuisance."
It's your husband, baby.
[That’s right]
Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips.
Asked Mu Ying, "By the way, has the note been delivered to the Xiao Mansion?"
"Your Highness, it has been delivered."
Lin Zhaoyue hummed lightly.
Although she really wanted to know what Xiao Tingye knew.
But the fact that he planned to let Pei Wanxing send the note over made her very unhappy.
So I deliberately waited until today, when the agreed time was almost up, to reject him, just to make him feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, now she always has to be careful when meeting Xiao Tingye.
The way he looks at me now is completely different from before...
She also didn't know how to deal with the strong and passionate feelings in his eyes when he looked at her.
It was as if something that had been suppressed in the darkness was slowly crawling out from under the ground...
It was dangerous and made her feel at a loss.
"Let's go, follow me to see how Mingxi is doing."
Xiao Mansion.
"Sir, this was sent from the princess's mansion." Yinchuan handed the note sent from the princess to Xiao Tingye.
Xiao Tingye, who was originally reading the file, frowned slightly, put down what he was holding, and took the note.
And open the note.
There were only two words written by her on it.
"No time."
The beautiful handwriting is elegant yet powerful.
But it was terribly cold.
When Xiao Tingye saw these two words, he immediately clenched the note and pursed his thin lips coldly.
Oh.
Not free?
