The devilish brat had become a monster again! The female lead was bitter in her heart
Chen Liyi lived a rich life, the few layers of cloth around his legs were like broken legs, his body leaned onto the soft chair, the injured one was stretched out on top of the chair that Hong Xiang moved over, afraid that he would even spread a cushion made of pure cotton on top of it.
The noble crown prince sat motionlessly, his mouth open wide, waiting for Sister to feed him.
Luo Yi, "..."
She glared at Chen Liyi, her expression filled with disdain. However, she sincerely picked up his favorite dish and passed it over to him. After that, Chen Liyi intentionally bit down on it with a wuwu sound, then smiled at Luo Yi with narrowed eyes.
Luo Yi didn't come today, but the snacks that the little kitchen had prepared were all for the benefit of the devilish brat, Chen Liyi. Luo Yi calculated in her heart, afraid that would eat too much, so she only fed him half of the food before sending someone to remove the plate. She then wiped her hands with a handkerchief and asked Qing Luo if the emperor had sent any messages today.
Logically speaking, Chen Jinyan was a dignified ruler of a country. It was his freedom to go wherever he wanted, but these past few days when he came, it had almost been a normal occurrence.
There was an ancient saying that there must be demons behind abnormal events, Luo Yi had to think about it.
Qing Luo shook her head.
"Why did you ask him?"
Chen Liyi's small face immediately drooped down, and when he spoke with his mouth flat, her voice revealed obvious dissatisfaction.
"Nothing, did you finish your homework today? I promised you that you wouldn't have to go to Tutor Liang's house today, but I didn't agree that you wouldn't have to memorize my words today! "
Luo Yi took out a book that she had hidden there for some unknown time from behind her back.
The faces of those who had been shocked by the bad news turned pale. They did not have time to say anything good before they heard the sharp sound of a messenger from the palace. They listened attentively for two seconds, but did not have the interest to continue joking around.
Luo Yi raised her eyebrows, the unease in her heart grew even stronger the moment she heard the name.
She quietly instructed Chen Liyi, telling him to stay inside the house and not to wander around while reading. Only after hearing his listless "Oh" did he get up and go outside.
The one who came was Mu Yizhou.
His face was still covered by the mask, but for some reason, it looked as if the person under the mask was emitting a chill from his bones, even Luo Yi, who was still quite a distance away from him, felt it, and was suddenly stopped in her tracks, only when the person in front of him detected her movements, did she slowly look over in her direction, and then did she return to walking.
Luo Yi stared blankly. Her perception of danger made her instinctively not want to hear anything from Mu Yizhou, so she stopped ten steps away from him and coldly asked, "Does Your Majesty have any orders?"
Mu Yizhou, however, immediately laughed out after hearing her words, as though his heart had been exposed to the pouring rain, causing him to feel cold from the bottom of his feet.
Luo Yi couldn't help but take another step back.
Mu Yizhou laughed, and although his voice was cold, it was still respectful. "Your Majesty has an urgent matter at hand, so he cannot come to the Empress's place. Since he is afraid of the Empress, he has specially sent an official to inform her."
"I understand." Luo Yi cautiously stared at him: "Lord Mu, take care."
Her luck was never very good, and the little bit of good foreboding in her heart had never come to fruition. However, it was definitely bad, ever since she saw Mu Yizhou looking past her and into the room behind her, seeming to be looking at something through her, yet also seemed like he was simply looking for a foothold in her line of sight. After a long while, Luo Yi heard him speaking in a voice that could be called indifferent: "The crown prince didn't go to Tutor Liang today … "Indeed, maybe even the heavens are helping the crown prince."
The second part of the sentence was full of obvious sarcasm.
Luo Yi knitted her eyebrows, and once again ordered sher to leave with a cold voice. After he finished speaking, he did not even wait for Mu Yizhou to respond before she quickly turned around and took a few steps forward. However, Mu Yizhou behind him acted as if he did not understand what she was saying, and laughed twice instead: "Does the Empress not want to know what has gotten into the emperor's legs?"
He was like a nightmare that was everywhere in the night. His voice came from an extremely deep place, and then it slowly converged, completely surrounding the nightmare within. There wasn't even room for him to breathe.
Luo Yi's footsteps almost involuntarily stopped, and she immediately quickened her pace.
Her back looked as if she was fleeing, but it was unknown whether it was on purpose or not, but Qing Luo, who had been following her from the side, had actually reached out and grabbed her, causing her, who was already unsteady, to stay where she was. There was worry that could not be hidden in her voice: "Empress, are you alright?"
And right at this moment, Mu Yizhou's voice behind his, was as cold as a snake, wrapping around her body. He quickly spread this chill to her four limbs, "Tutor Liang is dead."
Just like the wood in the yamen that decided the outcome, with a sound, whether it was success or failure, everything was settled. Luo Yi was sentenced to death by this sound.
However, it was probably because of a strange feeling that a dead pig wasn't afraid of being boiled in water, that Luo Yi suddenly calmed down at this moment. Then, without batting an eyelid, she brushed away Qing Luo's hand that was still on her arm, and silently turned around on the tip of her toes.
She took two steps forward before thinking of Qing Luo, who was following her, so she stopped and said with an indifferent tone of voice. "You go down first.
"But the Empress …"
Qing Luo frowned, there was hesitation in her tone, but before she could finish, he was glared at by Luo Yi, followed by her entire body becoming stiff, as she swallowed back the rest of her words.
"Everyone else should also go down. Without my permission, no one is allowed to get close to me … Also, the crown prince is not allowed to come. " Luo Yi's voice could be said to be sinister and vicious at the same time, "Even if you die, you must stop it for me."
She wasn't sure if Chen Liyi would actually come out to look for her, but no matter what, an extra layer of protection was always good. After doing all this, she walked towards Mu Yizhou, looking straight ahead.
There was a stone table in the courtyard with Xia Ye admiring the moon. Luo Yi sat in front of it and didn't even glance at Mu Yizhou, who had silently followed over: "I am dumb, but from your words, I can hear that Lord Mu suspects the crown prince?"
"This official dares not."
"Oh, you probably wouldn't dare," Luo Yi continued. "It's a heinous crime to discredit the crown prince without any proof. Even if the Lord Mu is on good terms with His Majesty, I believe that the bandit leader wouldn't dare to take this crime on himself."
"Although the crown prince is studying at Tutor Liang's place, it's a pity that I don't have many interactions with the latter. Since the Lord Mu is deliberately bringing up this topic, if it's not suspecting the crown prince, then does it mean that this case is related to the Tutor Liang?"
She toyed with her fingers as she gave a faint smile, "Although my mother's family isn't as rich and imposing as the other sisters in the palace, they aren't people that the Lord Mu can slander. When the Lord Mu speaks, he must pay close attention to the evidence."
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.
