Rebirth of the Black-bellied Princess Mo - Chapter 804
That woman had long hair that flowed like silk. Although she had taken off her palace attire, she was still wearing a big red dress, which was burning and radiant.
Concubine Li is still the gorgeous and stunning beauty from the beginning. It has been nearly a hundred days since the palace change. The battle of Changlian did not make her feel haggard at all, but became more and more charming.
In her hair, which was tied into three stacks of cloud buns, the golden hairpin of the delphinium swayed her makeup, and her whole body was brilliantly embroidered, but it did not take away her stunning brilliance.
Xiao Mubai walked up the stairs and was taken to the pavilion to wait, watching her walk from the dazzling sun in the late spring, wearing a gauze coat, surrounded her like a light cloud, and folded it down along the way. A pear flower, the gleaming white color and her pair of soft weeds complement each other.
“His Royal Highness King Mo, this palace is your elder anyway, can’t you see the ceremony?” Concubine Li glanced at him lightly, leaning against the railing, indescribably lazy and indescribable elegance.
“Niangniang is now punished by everyone, so what’s the use of delusional rituals?” Xiao Mubai’s face was calm and his tone was indifferent.
“Everyone gets it and punishes it?” Concubine Li’s gaze shifted from the pear flower in her hand to Xiao Mubai’s body: “The person who was punished should be the prince.”
The corner of Xiao Mubai’s mouth showed a hint of sarcasm: “Since the maiden knows that I will be poisoned soon, and now I have fulfilled the reputation of this king’s dedication to the people of a city, this move is quite a lot of trouble, but it is not worth the loss.”
Concubine Li smiled brightly between Gu Pan: “The prince knows the truth, how can this palace let you do it?”
Xiao Mubai’s eyes sank and his brows frowned. When they were discussing last night, they all thought that Concubine Li hated Xiao Mubai again and again, and stopped Xiao Yanjun’s great cause again and again. I just want to burn all the jade and stones.
But listening to Concubine Li’s meaning right now, she didn’t plan to kill him at all?
Xiao Mubai couldn’t figure out what Concubine Li’s move meant for a while. Since he didn’t want to kill him, could it be that he was really here to negotiate by letting him enter the city alone?
With a calm face, he asked indifferently, “Now, Niangniang, do you still want a way out?”
Concubine Li ignored Xiao Mubai’s questioning at all, she leaned on the rail and waved, and the maids under the pavilion brought the boiled glutinous rice porridge, accompanied by six delicate side dishes on the stone table in the pavilion.
Concubine Li washed her hands in the basin held by Lian Yan, and then took the white linen towel handed over to wipe her hands. Her movements were slow and elegant, showing the nobility that had soaked the palace for many years.
“What exactly do you want to let this king enter the city?” Xiao Mubai looked at her contentedly, and became more and more unsure of her intentions.
Concubine Li sat directly on the stone pier, and Gong Yi asked him fully: “Although it is not comparable to the food in the imperial kitchen, it also has a different flavor. Do you want to use it together?”
Xiao Mubai rolled his eyes instead of answering. Concubine Li smiled and sneered: “Why, Wang Ye has been poisoned for all these years, and you are afraid that the poison will not work?”
Xiao Mubai recalled that she had walked to the entrance of Jianfu Gate before she left the palace, and suddenly stopped to look back. In her thin, wing-like cherry lips, three words were spit out against the wind: “It’s the emperor.”
Cheng Ying suddenly unsheathed along with his memory, carrying the sound of breaking wind, and pointed the tip of his sword directly at Concubine Li.
“If this palace is dead, the entire sealing dock will be in ruins.” Concubine Li raised her eyes to look at him, her eyebrows raised lightly, and she was not afraid.
Cheng Ying stopped three inches away from her throat. He just walked all the way and observed the people around him. Although there are many people under the pavilion, they are far away. He has every chance to kill him with one blow. .
Concubine Ke Li’s words made him unable to stab him with that sword.
He could kill Concubine Li, but after all, there was no way to kill all the people in the mausoleum gate in one breath. As long as there is a living mouth to report a message, the long letter will be ignited, and the jade will burn.
His hand holding the sword tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and finally turned his wrist, and Chengying retracted the sword and sheathed it.
Xiao Mubai remained silent, walked to the side leaning on the railing and looked out, looking at the clouds above the sky, calming the ups and downs in his chest just agitated by her words.
Concubine Li didn’t force him, she sipped her food alone, calm and dignified, never looking at Xiao Mubai at all, as if she had completely forgotten Xiao Mubai, who was leaning on the railing and looking out, still waiting for her answer.
When she finished her breakfast, the maid removed the leftovers and dishes, and Lian Yan lit the incense burner for her. The fragrance lingered, Concubine Li rinsed her mouth again, drank a cup of Gu Zhu’s purple bamboo shoots, and finally spoke slowly. : “For the sake of your imminent death, why should you dirty Ben Gong’s hands. The most important thing is that the people around Ben Gong are reluctant to let you die.”
Xiao Mubai didn’t have any trouble with her previous words. Even the emperor didn’t know what the ice Gu had on him. Concubine Li naturally thought that he would not have a good life for a few years.
But her last words made Xiao Mubai look back suddenly.
Concubine Li saw that his waveless face finally showed a hint of hurt, and the smile on the corners of her lips became more and more sweet: “My lord is so smart, he must have guessed it long ago, but he still doesn’t want to take off his mask to see you, deceiving himself and pretending to be. You know nothing.”
A slight fluctuation appeared on Xiao Mubai’s face, but it quickly subsided.
He said sarcastically with a calm expression: “This king specially waits for the empress to finish her meal and is telling you the news of Xiao Yanjun’s death. I don’t know if it is considered polite or not.”
Concubine Li’s blooming smile slowly froze, and she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, covering up the rest of her expression. After a long time, she said with a sense of disappointment: “Qianqiu’s fame, Linglong Sheji, it’s ridiculous that my son is alive, but there is no king’s life.”
There was unwillingness in her tone, but no pain.
Xiao Mubai looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, how cold-hearted must he be to be so indifferent.
When Concubine Li raised her head again, it was still her smiling face: “Since your fourth brother is asked to return to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit, according to this palace’s understanding of the emperor, the worst thing is to be demoted to the common people and banned for life, and you won’t be able to die.”
A trace of unease flashed in Xiao Mubai’s eyes, although Xiao Yanjun was taken down by him and planned to be detained and returned to Beijing for the emperor to meet.
But this happened in Changyuan Pass. Concubine Li was already besieged by General Zhao at that time. How did she know the news?
“Since Niangniang let this king enter the city, she must have made a request. Since this king first gave Xiao Yanjun a chance to face the saint, can Niangniang also give the people of Fengwu a way to survive.” Xiao Mubai saw that she already knew Xiao Yanjun Before she died, she simply opened her mouth to speak, hoping that as a mother, she would care about her own son anyway.
“To frighten this palace, but it is not the prince’s.” Concubine Li lightly covered her heart, as if she was frightened, with a look of panic on her face, as if holding her heart.
Xiao Mubai closed his eyes, resisting the chill in his heart, and resisting the urge to pull out Chengying.
“Since this king has entered the city, he is not afraid of death. Besides, you know that this king does not have a few years to live.” When Xiao Mubai raised his eyes again, his phoenix eyes were cold and sharp: “Don’t force this king, you… in the end. What are you going to do?”
