C47 Bear a child and a monster! Tying the in the mind bitter (2/2)
However, Mu Yizhou was not an ordinary person. He looked down at Luo Yi from above for a good while, and when he heard the first sentence, he found a loophole in her words. It was also because of this loophole that at this very moment, Luo Yi was just like a kid who was bluffing, but in reality, she did not even have a foundation.
He looked at Luo Yi and felt some regret in his heart for dragging her into these things. But things had already gotten to this point, and even if he regretted it now, he did not know which step he should take to repent.
In comparison to Luo Yi's overbearing attitude, his current tone was probably considered gentle. However, the moment she spoke the first word, Luo Yi's heart suddenly sank, and a strong sense of powerlessness emerged from her bones: ”This subject did not say, just where did he die?”
Returning to his room, Chen Liyi was still obediently lying down on the soft spot, reading a book. He was used to showing off in front of Luo Yi, just like how a normal 100 year old would do in front of his parents. However, he couldn't pretend to not want to be weak.
Luo Yi did not sit next to him like she usually did, but instead sat in a chair not far away.
That chair was originally a pair, but there was one that was still supporting Chen Liyi's legs!
Luo Yi casted a glance at him with a smile: ”No wonder the Tutor Liang wants to punish you. You're not serious after reciting it, even I would have to punish you.”
”This is a great disrespect! It's to behead! ” Chen Liyi said.
From Luo Yi's point of view, his face was bulging like a porcupine that was filled with air. Although he had said those words, her tone of voice didn't seem to be angry at all, and she probably didn't care about Luo Yi's random punishment.
Luo Yi had always liked to use these words to suppress her, but there wasn't any malice in these words. After Chen Liyi finished complaining, he still wanted to pester her to tell him a story to coax him to sleep, so Luo Yi had never taken it to heart. At the moment, he was the same as well, smiling a little and did not accept his words. She only lowered her head and stared at her fingertips for a while. When she opened her mouth again, her tone was no different from usual.
She paused here for a second, because she could not bear to do it anymore, she did not raise her head, and naturally did not see Chen Liyi's eyes that suddenly lit up: ”How is your reading going today? If you do not have a backer, be careful that Tutor Liang will hit your palm tomorrow. ”
”Huh?”
Qing Luo, who was standing at the side, was equally astonished.
She glanced at Luo Yi in shock, as if she didn't understand why she would lie to the crown prince, but cleverly maintained her silence, allowing the doubt on the crown prince's face to turn into dissatisfaction, before she lowered her head and muttered something.
She couldn't quite hear what he had said, but she could vaguely hear the words' trash '.
Luo Yi had probably heard it too, because she could clearly feel her shoulders shaking, but very quickly, she raised her head as though she was fine, and then smiled and waved at Chen Liyi: ”I'm a bit tired, I want to go back and rest, you recite from here, don't run around anywhere, listen …”
She was silent for two seconds, then changed her words. ”Okay?”
”En!”
Chen Liyi hopped over on one leg. Whenhe couldn't stand steadily, she tried to nod his head.
Luo Yi then laughed and ordered him to jump back in order to return back to her room.
Qing Luo hurriedly supported him, but before his hand could even touch Luo Yi, he was dodged by the latter's shoulders. However, it did not seem like a deliberate action, it was completely an unconscious instinctive reaction.
Qing Luo was startled, seeing that Luo Yi did not even look at him, she walked towards the door.
When night fell, the new Commander of the Imperial Guard that he had seen before came. He inherited the Commander of the Imperial Guard's love of climbing into windows, with a flick of his wrist, he entered the room.
Luo Yi had previously heard him speak out for Wen Shili, so she wasn't too surprised to see him here. She nodded at him and didn't say anything else, but while she was drinking her tea, she casually asked him if she wanted to sit down and have a drink.
This person did not have as much guts as Wen Shili, upon hearing these words, he immediately shook his head, and said a bunch of words at the same time, ”The Empress has truly destroyed this lowly official.”
Oh. Luo Yi withdrew her hand that was about to pour him tea, thinking how it could even be said that each time the Commander of the Imperial Guard s poured tea, each time would get worse.
It was obvious that this was his first time barging into a woman's room, and was even the new Commander of the Imperial Guard of the dynasty's favorite concubine's room. He was so nervous that he blurted out words like a thief looking out the window to confirm that there was no one around, before taking out a piece of jade from his bosom. He did not dare to directly hand it to Luo Yi, for fear that he would accidentally lose his life if he were to touch her, and only placed the jade on the table.
”This was sent by our lord urgently from Fengye. Our master said that jade is spiritual, and this piece of jade was specially requested by someone of high position and power. It will definitely ensure that everything goes well for the Empress. ”
”You guys have been too kind, thank him on my behalf.”
”Yes.”
As the Commander of the Imperial Guard spoke, he did not continue to reply nor leave. Instead, he simply stared at Luo Yi.
”Is there something else?” Luo Yi could not hold it in any longer and asked.
She thought that Wen Shili still had something he wanted her to pass on, but she didn't expect that the other party would widen his eyes in shock after hearing her words. His voice carried a hint of disbelief as he retorted, ”Did the Empress not have anything she wanted me to pass on to you?”
No.
Luo Yi calmly shook her head.
That person was immediately startled and stammered his question twice more before unwillingly jumping out the window again. Even so, he was unwilling to give up. He stuck to the window and asked, ”Does the Empress really have nothing to say to you?”
Luo Yi could not help but laugh, the way she looked at him was rarely gentle: ”In the letter your master gave you, did you need to pass on my reaction to him?”
”...” ”No.”
”Look, he doesn't care about how I react, so why are you worrying about this? ”You should head back earlier. The palace is a hard chore, so you should be careful. After all, your family's master is still pointing fingers at you to pass on the message.”
”Yes sir!” The man scratched the back of his head, he did not understand the relationship between the Mr. Wen and the Empress, but he was very smart, knowing that knowing more secrets in the palace would not benefit him, so he closed his mouth and did not ask further, he just tapped on the roof with his toe and disappeared.
Luo Yi closed the window and picked up the jade on the table, throwing it into a jewelry box without even looking at it.
Most of the jewelry she didn't wear was in the box, and the jade that was supposed to bring good luck lay still among them, and as the last of the light faded, the light went out.
