Chapter 804 (2/2)
Concubine Ke's words made his sword unable to pierce.
He can kill concubine Li, but he can't kill all the people in the lingmen in the hospital. However, if there is a message left alive, the long letter will burn jade and stone.
His hand holding the sword was tight and loose, loose and tight. Finally, his wrist turned over and took the picture back to the scabbard.
In silence, Xiao mubai went to one side and looked out against the railing. He looked at the clouds in the sky and calmed the ups and downs just stirred by her words in his chest.
Imperial concubine Li didn't insist on him either. She ate alone, sipping her food quietly, dignified and decent. She didn't look at Xiao mubai at all. It seemed that she completely forgot Xiao mubai looking out of the fence and was still waiting for her answer.
When she finished her breakfast, the maid took down the leftover dishes and dishes, and Lian Yan lit a incense burner for her. The fragrance was lingering. Princess Li rinsed again, drank a Guzhu purple bamboo shoot, and finally slowly opened her mouth: ”for the sake of your short life, why dirty the hands of the palace. The most important thing is that the people around the palace don't want you to die.”
Xiao mubai didn't make waves about what she said in front of him. The Emperor didn't even know what ice Gu had solved on him. Concubine Li naturally thought he didn't have a few years to live.
But her last sentence made Xiao mubai suddenly look back.
Princess Li finally showed a hurt expression when she saw his unpopular face, and the smile on the corner of her lips became more and more sweet: ”the prince is so smart that he must have guessed it long ago. However, he always doesn't want to take off the following to see you. He deceives himself and others and pretends that you know nothing.”
A slight fluctuation suddenly appeared on Xiao Mu's white face and soon subsided as before.
He said sarcastically, ”I don't know if it's polite to tell you that Xiao Yanjun died when my mother ran out of food.”
Princess Li's blooming smile slowly coagulated, lowered her head and eyes, covered up her remaining expression, and opened her mouth sadly after a long time: ”eternal fame, exquisite country, ridiculous, my son's life, but there is no king's life.”
There was reluctance in her tone, but there was no pain.
Xiao mubai looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. How cold can he be so indifferent.
When Princess Li looked up again, she was still the smiling face: ”since you let your fourth brother return to Beijing, according to the palace's understanding of the emperor, the worst thing is to demote him into a common people's circle and ban him for a lifetime. He can't die.”
A trace of uneasiness flashed across the bottom of Xiao mubai's eyes. Although Xiao Yanjun was taken by him, he planned to take him back to Beijing and let the emperor see him.
But it happened in Changyuan pass. At that time, concubine Li had already been besieged by old general Zhao. How did she learn the news?
”Since my empress let me enter the city, I must ask for something. Since I gave Xiao Yanjun a chance to face the saint first, can my empress also give the people of the fortress a way to live?” Seeing that she already knew that Xiao Yanjun was not dead, Xiao mubai simply spread out her words, hoping that she, as a mother, would somehow scruple her own son.
”It's the Lord's fault to frighten the palace.” Imperial concubine Li covered her heart lightly, as if she were frightened, and her face looked frightened, like a heartwarming girl.
Xiao mubai closed his eyes, endured a chill at the bottom of his heart, and resisted the impulse to pull out the background.
”Since the king has entered the city, he is not afraid of death, not to mention you know that the king has few years left.” When Xiao mubai raised his eyes again, a pair of Phoenix eyes were cold and fierce: ”don't force the king, what are you... Going to do?”
