Chapter 159 The Emperor is Angry, See Him or Not
She bowed to Wei Ting from a distance.
The crescent-shaped white skirt with intricately embroidered sea patterns was blown up by the wind, the slender waist was slightly bent, and the figure was graceful and dancing, like snow dancing in the wind.
But such graceful demeanor should be arousing.
Wei Ting turned his face away, emotions surging in his eyes like a storm.
Wei Liru looked at her brother's expression in surprise. It seemed to contain a bit of...disgust, and some other emotions that she couldn't understand.
She rarely saw Wei Ting lose his composure like this.
It is common to see disgust on other people's faces, but Wei Ting never does that.
In the memory of his younger sister Wei Liru, Wei Ting was successful at a young age, knowledgeable and resourceful, and he could always handle any situation with calmness and composure like a spring breeze.
Only when she cried would a look of anxiety appear on his face.
Moreover, Wei Ting has always been graceful, humble and polite when interacting with women. Miss Ji Wu is really capable to be able to make her brother look so unhappy.
Could it be that in her letter a while ago, she mentioned that Ji Qingwu deliberately shot through her arrow and the target, making her embarrassed.
Is Wei Ting feeling sorry for her?
When Wei Liru thought of this reason, she smiled cheerfully and said, "Brother, don't worry about other people's affairs. Today is a good day. The emperor just mentioned that he wants to go to Guanju Palace with us for dinner. I will go back to the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and brother will come with me."
She hadn't seen her brother for a long time. She finally waited for him to come back and had a lot of things in her heart that she wanted to tell him.
The Wei family has many children, but Wei Liru has been close to Wei Ting since childhood and always likes to stick behind him. Even though she hasn't seen him for so many years, she doesn't feel unfamiliar with her brother.
Ji Qingwu no longer paid attention to the warm scene of their brother and sister reunion.
She already knew why the red door of the Qinzheng Hall was always closed, because Emperor Wu Su was discussing matters with Wei Ting who had returned secretly.
Now, the Emperor wants to hold a banquet to reward General Zhenbei for his meritorious service in the border garrison. According to Concubine Wei, only a few of them will be present at the banquet.
Naturally, he had no time to take care of her, and no time to ask Jiujiu to recite the text.
Ji Qingwu walked with Jiujiu for a while, and then heard a hurried call from behind.
"Miss Ji, please stay! Please stay!"
Li Yuzong chased after him with sweat all over his face, followed by Xiao Dongzi.
Ji Qingwu looked at the beads of sweat on his face. She had not walked far and could still see the shadow of the Qinzheng Hall when she looked back. Eunuch Li would not have run so hard.
She asked, "Is your father-in-law feeling unwell?"
Li Yuzong: "Thank you Miss Ji for your concern. Please follow me to the palace."
Ji Qingwu was surprised: "I heard from Concubine Wei that His Majesty wants to have a banquet with them. It would not be appropriate for me to go there."
Li Yuzong explained: "The banquet is in Guanju Palace, and the queen will need an hour or so to prepare, so there is no rush."
Ji Qingwu said, "Eunuch Li, His Majesty is not in a hurry to host the banquet, but I am in a hurry to go home for dinner."
She didn't know why he wanted to keep her, but she didn't want to get involved in this situation.
Li Yuzong's face was in a state of panic, and he was speechless: "Your Majesty..."
He looked at Xiao Dongzi behind him.
When Eunuch Li turned sideways, Ji Qingwu could see Xiao Dongzi's expression clearly. His face was pale and his lips were bloodless. He looked like he was too frightened.
Li Yuzong pushed his apprentice out to talk, and Xiao Dongzi looked like he was about to cry.
"Miss Ji, please come with me to the Qinzheng Palace. The emperor is furious right now. My master and I think only if you go there can the emperor feel better."
Ji Qingwu asked in confusion: "Why is your majesty angry?"
When Concubine Wei came out of the palace, she still had a smile on her face. The emperor must have been in a good mood at that time. How could he suddenly become so angry and scare the servants serving him like this?
Li Yuzong said: "Miss Ji, I beg you to save Xiao Dongzi and the palace servants in the Qinzheng Palace."
Just now, when General Wei and Concubine Wei went out, the Emperor looked as usual.
But when the palace door was opened, Emperor Wu Su saw the two people facing each other from afar outside the palace door, his face changed drastically, and the secret military report on the important case was thrown to the ground.
The palace servant was about to step forward to serve tea, but the emperor gave her a cold, murderous look and the teacup shattered to the ground, with the tea splashing all over the memorial.
In an instant, everyone in the hall knelt down, not daring to look up or speak.
Li Yuzong gave a look and the palace maid who made the mistake was dragged out.
Then the emperor asked in a cold voice: "Who closed the palace door today?"
Xiao Dongzi crawled forward a few trembling steps.
Emperor Wu Su glanced at him without saying a word. His long gaze fell outside the palace. The murderous aura on his body became heavier, making it hard to breathe.
The servants who served the emperor had never seen him so angry. Wherever his eyes looked, it seemed as if he wanted to beat everyone in the hall to death.
Li Yuzong was sweating profusely, and even when the sweat flowed into his eyes, he didn't dare to wipe it off.
He was a man of many thoughts and active minds. He secretly glanced outside the palace and saw a light green figure in the distance bowing gracefully to General Wei and Concubine Wei.
It was supposed to be a beautiful scene with flowers stretching all over the ground, but Emperor Wu Su saw it and became furious and could not control himself.
After Li Yuzong left the hall, he quickly caught up with Ji Qingwu.
The master and disciple stared at Ji Qingwu as if he were their savior.
She would find it hard to say no.
Seeing her wavering expression, Li Yuzong hurriedly said, "Xiao Dongzi will personally send Miss Jiujiu back to the Ji Mansion. I beg Miss Ji to have mercy on those servants."
Xiao Dongzi nodded hurriedly, tears in his eyes: "Miss Ji, please save me. I will be your slave in the next life. No, I will do it in this life. I am willing to do it."
Ji Qingwu decided to find out what happened first.
"What did you do wrong? If it's a crime that costs you your life, it won't help if I plead for mercy."
Xiao Dongzi said with a bitter face: "I didn't do anything. I just closed the palace door. I acted according to the rules of the meeting and did not act on my own initiative."
Ji Qingwu asked with difficulty: "Just? Close the palace door?"
They came to her for help, and it was not a big deal, so Ji Qingwu hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
On the way, Ji Qingwu kept complaining in his heart that Emperor Wu Su was too moody.
When she was about to reach the gate of the Qinzheng Hall, she found that the door was wide open and the Wei brothers and sisters at the door had left.
However, due to the lighting and location, even with the door open, one still couldn't see the scene inside the temple clearly from the outside.
She stopped on the steps where Wei Ting had just stood, looking hesitant.
Li Yuzong took a breath and lowered his voice to persuade: "Miss Ji, please go in quickly."
Ji Qingwu looked at the dark hall in front of him...
