Rebirth of the Black-bellied Princess Mo - Chapter 805
Xiao Mubai’s tone was decisive, declaring that he would not give in.
“What the lord said, it’s not what this palace is going to do, it’s what you are going to do. It’s not that this palace wants the lives of all the people in the city, but it’s the prince that you… don’t want them to live.” Concubine Li seemed to finish speaking in one breath. A mouthful of words, a little dry mouth, three fingers elegantly picked up a cup of tea, brought it to the lips and was about to take a sip.
With a ‘smack’ sound, the white porcelain teacup in her hand was knocked over by Xiao Mubai, fell to the ground and shattered. There was green tea powder all over the place, and the scalding tea was still steaming on the ground…
The splashed tea stains fell on Concubine Li’s left hand holding the white porcelain cup, the red sleeves were splashed, and two or three drops of water splashed on her gorgeous cheeks.
“If Ben Gong dies, this Fengwu will be full of ruins. If Ben Gong is unhappy, someone will have to die for you.” She stretched out her hand to remove the water droplets from her cheeks, and her soft voice was also soft. Fierce.
At the moment when he raised his eyes, Ji Bai raised his knife and fell, and a maid not far away fell to the ground in response. The splashed blood sprinkled a blooming peach blossom, and the pink was printed with crimson, which was particularly dazzling.
Xiao Mubai took care of the lives of the servants and maids in the courtyard, so he had to take a step back. In an instant, he regained his calmness, and sat down opposite her with his robes up: “The maiden has taken so much trouble, there must be a purpose.”
Concubine Li picked up the white pear blossoms that had been put aside when she had just eaten, and asked casually, “How are the two sons of Prince Hui?”
Xiao Mubai was slightly stunned. He guessed many kinds of requests from Concubine Li, but he never expected that the first sentence she asked was actually this.
Xiao Mubai saw her bowing her head and twisting the flowers, but she couldn’t make out her expression, and she didn’t know whether she wanted the two of them to be alive or dead.
“To tell the truth, it’s better for this palace to open the skylight and speak brightly with the lord.” Concubine Li raised her alarm when she saw his hesitation.
“Life is better than death.” Xiao Mubai pondered and told the truth.
The news that Gu Jiajun reported to Beijing was that both of them were resting in bed in Mianxi.
But he was not sure whether Concubine Li knew or not, and whether it was just a question to test him. Although this matter was secret, it was only because the two of them were in a miserable situation, and it was not really a secret.
Therefore, Xiao Mubai did not deceive her.
“Gu Duanfei really can’t support the wall.” Concubine Li said with a hint of disgust in her tone, and then said with some unwillingness: “The same is true of Ben Gong’s son.
Xiao Mubai’s eyes fell on the maid who came to clean up the broken pieces of porcelain.
“Niang Niang actually didn’t have to help him. This king was poisoned and could not succeed to the throne. Seventh younger brother has always been pure-hearted. Originally, he was the one who inherited the throne.” Xiao Mubai’s eyes flashed from the body of the maid Touch to open, move to Li Fei.
There was no sarcasm in his voice, as if he was just stating a fact: “It was you who pushed him off the road of kingship.”
Concubine Li snorted lightly, smiling disdainfully: “Wang Ye still wants to use such words at this time to punish Ben Gong’s heart? If it weren’t for Ben Gong, when you were added to your body, you have been in the heart of the emperor since the day you were born. The candidate for the crown prince, how can he have this opportunity to inherit the throne.”
Xiao Mu’s white eyebrows knitted together. King Liang and the emperor had high hopes for him. From Concubine Li’s mouth, it seemed that the same was true, but Concubine Li clearly said…
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Concubine Li: “The niangniang once said that this king’s poison was administered by the emperor. Even so, why didn’t the fourth brother have a chance?”
A sneer appeared on the corners of Concubine Li’s lips: “You don’t need to irritate this palace, you just want to know the truth about your poisoning.”
Xiao Mubai took the warm cups from the handmaiden who ordered the tea, one spoonful at a time, and distributed a cup of tea for Concubine Li: “But I hope the maiden can clear up the confusion.”
I don’t know if it was because Xiao Mubai suddenly softened, which made Concubine Li satisfied, she took a sip from the tea cup, and looked at the maid who was cooking the tea: “Your craftsmanship is really good, why haven’t I seen you these days? .”
The maid bowed her eyebrows and bowed respectfully, with a well-rounded etiquette, with a hint of joy in her tone of praise: “The fresh tea buds and leaves are slightly purple, and the young leaves are curled like bamboo shoots. Tea skills are very necessary, slave maid. Xiaoyun also knows this skill, Mrs. Mo said that the lady likes to drink this Gu Zhu Zi Bamboo shoots, and sent her servants to order tea, asking the Mo family to make a way out.”
Concubine Li snorted: “This Mo Jia has been stubborn for so long, but he is afraid of dying.”
She took a sip of the tea again, showing satisfaction: “You are really good at cooking tea, raise your head and let Ben Gong see.”
Gu Zhu’s Zi Sun is originally a tribute tea, and few people can cook its original tea aroma and taste, and even Yan has never been good at this.
Therefore, Concubine Li had really not had such an authentic Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoot for a long time.
Just as Concubine Li was waiting to see the maid Xiaoyun looking up, Xiao Mubai invited him to tea and called out again, “Niangniang.”
Concubine Li’s gaze turned to his face, and when she saw his eager look, she chuckled: “That poison was indeed fed to you by the emperor himself.”
Concubine Li put down the hand holding the cup, which was about the same height as the stone bench: “At that time, you were about three years old, staggering, babbled and threw into his arms with joy, and the emperor whispered softly. I coaxed you and fed you the poison one bite at a time.”
In such a late spring morning, even the breeze was warm and warm. Xiao Mubai listened to her eloquent words, and the words were full of emotion. Thin, average needle point.
Concubine Li looked at the hand he was holding, her knuckles turned white, and she chuckled lightly: “Does your heart hurt? How unacceptable the truth is, do you still want to know?”
Xiaoyun gently pressed Xiao Mubai’s wrist and filled his cup with tea.
Xiao Mubai retracted his fingers holding the tea cup involuntarily, the tea cup was tilted slightly, and the foam inside had not yet dissipated, and it overflowed at two or three points.
He looked at Concubine Li, who was smiling like a flower, with a pair of phoenix eyes: “What else is there that this king doesn’t know?”
Li Fei held the pear flower to her nose and sniffed the purple-red anthers. Her face was as bright as the bright moon, as if it could illuminate the whole spring in the garden behind her. Even the white pear flower in front of her nose could not take away her fair skin. The jade-like cheeks were half glowing.
“When you were four years old, the emperor was poisoned, and when you were five years old, Zhao Lansheng eliminated fragrance and jade damage to save the emperor.” Concubine Li’s face showed a pleasant color that smelled the fragrance of flowers.
She twirled the pear flower gently, then pulled off two petals, waved her hand and said “tsk”: “It’s a pity, Lord Hou and Zhao Lansheng, back then, they were a couple that everyone envied in Chang’an.”
