That's it!
This is serious!
We're doomed...
Even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it now. He glanced back at the troublemaker, Little Dragon Girl, and found her looking at him with a sly smile. Although tears were streaming down her face, her eyes revealed a hint of amusement...
Is this guy really a child? Li Zhu seriously doubted that the other person's mental age matched his apparent age. A simple action had put him in a difficult position, and the worst part was that he couldn't explain himself...
Would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?
Li Zhu said weakly, he was already in despair. In this state, how could he expect the two beauties to see him? It was tantamount to closing the door on his love life...
"I don't believe you! Go to hell..."
Wang Riqing cursed angrily and charged straight at Li Zhu with her long sword. She felt so wronged. First, she was fighting with her father for a man, then with the princess of Xiliang, then with the prime minister's daughter, and now she had been defeated by a child. How could she accept this?
Li Zhu didn't expect Wang Riqing to be so agitated. As a straight man, how could he understand her state of mind at this moment?
"Qingqing, it's a misunderstanding..."
In his panic, Li Zhu tried to back away, but after taking only one step, his body flew backward...
This scene shocked everyone…
Li Zhu's body slid uncontrollably to the ground, but at that moment he completely forgot about the pain. He stared at the footprints he had left on the ground, still in a daze...
"Internal strength? You've cultivated internal strength?"
Wang Riqing immediately saw what had happened, and it was precisely because he saw it that he was shocked. How many days had Li Zhu been practicing martial arts? Two days? Or three days?
He achieved a level that others couldn't reach in two or three years, but he did it so quickly!
"Is this what hidden strength is?"
Li Zhu murmured to himself, carefully recalling every detail of what had just happened. The instant he stepped back, a force gathered beneath his feet, pushing his body backward…
Because he didn't know he could use internal force, he lost his balance...
How did you cultivate your internal strength?
Wang Riqing also forgot his purpose and asked in shock!
"It just happened after a good night's sleep..."
Li Zhu blurted out the words unconsciously, but the entire palace fell silent as soon as they left his mouth. When he looked up and saw the fierce glint in Wang Riqing's eyes, he immediately realized that his words were ambiguous...
"Qingqing, let me explain, it's not what you think. I mean, I took a nap by the bed... no... I took a nap next to Little Dragon Girl... damn it... I can't explain this anymore..."
Li Zhu tried to explain incoherently for a long time, only to find that the more he tried to explain, the worse it got, and he couldn't make anything clear at all...
"Sister Qingqing, it's not what you think. I fainted yesterday, and Brother Zhu took care of me all night..."
Upon hearing Xiaolongnu's words, Li Zhu was so moved that tears streamed down his face. Finally, she spoke like a human being. He felt that Xiaolongnu had done it on purpose. She had only spoken that way because she saw Wang Riqing and Yuwen Yingying, just to make the two of them misunderstand Li Zhu!
"real?"
Wang Riqing clearly didn't believe it. She thought Li Zhu was such a beast that he might have used some means to threaten Xiaolongnu into saying that!
"Of course it's true, what else did you think? If you don't believe me, go ask Consort Ming..."
Well, it's over again!
Even Xiaolongnu covered her forehead, feeling that some people were really hard to deal with. At this time, of all people to mention, you had to bring up Consort Ming. She was your brother's consort, and there was a moral obligation to meet her. Moreover, you asked her to be your witness. This was clearly telling Wang Riqing that Consort Ming and I had not just met once yesterday!
"You met with Consort Ming yesterday?"
Wang Riqing glared fiercely at Li Zhu, thinking that this guy was really too dishonest...
"That's not the point, is it? What I meant was that Consort Ming could testify for me that it was because Little Dragon Girl fainted yesterday that I stayed to take care of her..."
Li Zhu explained, feeling wronged.
When did you and Consort Ming meet?
Wang Riqing seemed to be interrogating him, which left Li Zhu feeling helpless. Now that the focus had shifted, solving one problem had only brought out a new one…
"After emerging from the dungeon..."
Li Zhu explained!
"What? Yingying and I just left, and you went to see Consort Ming?"
Li Zhu couldn't help but smile wryly. What the hell was going on? It was all connected like a seamless loop...
"No, I originally planned to discuss some matters with the Prince, but then Consort Ming suddenly rushed out and said that Xiaolongnu had fainted, so I dragged her along to check on Xiaolongnu's condition..."
"What? You even grabbed her? Where did you grab her? Don't you know men and women shouldn't touch each other? Besides, she's your sister-in-law, why did you grab her?"
"No...the situation was urgent, I didn't think that much..."
"Even in an emergency, you can't just rush to pull them away..."
Li Zhu felt like something was blocking his chest; this was something he couldn't explain!
And why is your focus different from others? I was just asking her to lead the way; it was a normal reaction in a moment of urgency. I didn't have any ulterior motives.
"You're right..."
Li Zhu could only swallow his anger helplessly. After all, she was the woman he had brought back, and he had to endure it even with tears in his eyes…
"Hmph! It's good that you know you were wrong..."
Wang Riqing spoke with an arrogant air, as if he were a messenger of justice, and the way he looked at Li Zhu had a sense of moral superiority...
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Eunuch Wei suddenly appeared and whispered to his young master...
"Your Highness, the Second Prince sent over a group of dancers from the Western Regions yesterday. What do you think we should do with them?"
Upon hearing Eunuch Wei's words, Li Zhu slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about this? He had swindled the Second Prince out of ten thousand taels of gold and a group of Western Region dancers, but now was not the time. He had just managed to appease Wang Riqing; wouldn't this mean he was going to be deposed...?
"Li Zhu, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Wang Riqing roared and was about to cut Li Zhu down with his sword. "Is this some kind of joke? Are there just another batch of Western Region dancers as rivals?"
This isn't just one or two; if we're talking about a batch, there are at least four. How the hell are we supposed to have a proper relationship?
"Help!"
Li Zhu screamed and ran outside. Sure enough, with his limited skills, he couldn't handle not only the chaotic situation, but he couldn't even handle Wang Riqing...
He wasn't running around aimlessly; he went straight to Wang Yanzhang's room. Wang Yanzhang was practicing shooting in the courtyard, and perhaps because he was sweating so much, he was completely shirtless...
"General Wang..."
Upon hearing this call, Wang Yanzhang didn't even grip his gun tightly; his spear turned into a javelin, which he threw out...
