Unexpectedly, Li Wu was completely unmoved after hearing the whole story.
Even the murderous aura that had just been all over his body had dissipated a lot.
He even said calmly, "Since it's your Majesty's call, there's no rush."
No rush?
Who was that person who was so anxious just now that he was filled with murderous intent, almost killing people, and now he says he’s not anxious anymore?!
It's just a blink of an eye, why aren't you anxious?
Looking at him now, not only is he not worried at all, but he also has a look of contempt on his face.
Why is this happening?
Could it be that his nervousness and anger just now were all just an illusion?
Or was Xiao Xiazi's nonsense really right? Li Wu is now very successful. No matter how beautiful his wife is, he, as a husband who married into the family, can never hold his head up high in the eyes of the world. So, not only are you not ashamed or humiliated by your majesty's ridiculous behavior, but you also help him solve the problem... and just go with the flow?
Eunuch Ji looked suspicious.
Zhang Tingyu: "Brother Li, it's already this hour, are you still concerned about the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects?"
"Qi Lang and I saw how much you missed your wife along the way. You kept stroking a small flying arrow in your hand all day long."
"How can I not be anxious?"
Zhang Tingyu said this before fiercely kicking Xiao Xiazi. "You bastard slave! Why don't you just go in and tell His Majesty that we've returned to report? What are you still wasting away here for?!"
Eunuch Ji waved his hand, and Eunuch Xia hurriedly crawled into the hall with his pants wet.
Yang Qilang: "Brother Li, don't worry. There's definitely still time for this matter. There's still room for maneuver."
Duan Rongshi just nodded coldly.
"Um."
Everyone:?
It seems that he is indeed not worried.
Seeing him like this, Zong Zheng Xingyao was the first to sneer, "What a waste for such a stunningly beautiful woman like Madam Nangong to marry a heartless and ruthless husband like you!!"
"Pooh!"
"For a bastard who can't even care about his wife, even if he gets promoted and becomes rich, how long can he enjoy his glory?"
"One day, a despicable person like you will pay the most painful price for your despicable and shameless actions!!"
The seventh princess was as disappointed as she was excited just now.
She cursed loudly and was very rude.
Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingyu on the side widened their eyes.
Is this Seventh Princess so loyal to Madam Nangong?
Look how angry a princess who is usually dignified and elegant has become!
Neither of them could hold back, while Lao Xiang looked indifferent and unresponsive, while Duan Rongshi showed no reaction.
At the same time, I made a "tsk" sound in my heart.
Although they were in the same March, they still knew too little about Li Wu, a man with great abilities but mysterious.
Just as he was thinking about it, Eunuch Xia came running out in a hurry, pissing and shitting.
He looked panicked and shouted, "Oh no! There seems to be a fire in the secret room!!"
"There's thick smoke, thick smoke coming out from the crack in the door!"
Li Wu, who had just been standing there calmly, was instantly swept into the hall.
Everyone hurried into the hall, and sure enough, thick smoke was billowing out from around the crack in the door of the secret room.
Everyone's expression changed drastically with shock.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"
"His Majesty is still inside! Come, hurry, the secret room is on fire, hurry——"
"Key, hurry up and get the key and open the door!!"
Eunuch Ji screamed loudly, slapped his legs and cried.
Duan Rongshi stepped forward and kicked the door to pieces.
Thick smoke and flames burst out with a bang.
Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingyu rushed forward and pushed Duan Rongshi back.
"Brother Li, don't be impulsive. The fire is so bright, I'm afraid it's too late."
Yang Qilang: "Yes, Brother Li, it's too late, it's too late!"
"Don't be impulsive—"
"Sister-in-law...if there's still a spirit in heaven, I don't want you to sacrifice anything innocent for this!"
Yang Qilang choked with sobs, feeling that it was such a pity to lose such a special woman.
Eunuch Ji on the side: Is there no one who is worried about His Majesty's life?
The life of an emperor is not as valuable as that of a merchant woman! !?
Eunuch Ji's face was frozen as he stared at the flames and smoke filling the room, muttering, "It's over... Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"
Duan Rongshi shook his arms vigorously and shook off the two people on his left and right.
"What are you all still standing there for?"
"Put out the fire!"
When the fire brigade arrived, the prince, the queen, and all the concubines in the palace had already rushed over after hearing the noise.
"Father——"
"Wuwuwu——Father——"
"How could this happen?"
"Eunuch Ji, what on earth happened today? How could Father be alone in this secret room and it catch fire?"
The prince wiped his tears while scolding Eunuch Ji for accountability.
Eunuch Ji: "Slave, slave doesn't know either..."
Eunuch Ji secretly looked at the three people standing at the door of the secret room not far away, staring at the busy fire-fighting team. At this moment, he was also struggling with his conscience.
