Live up to the country

After Liu Hongjing came down, he was sent back to Ruoxi Palace in a small sedan chair. Concubine Xue Shu had already been waiting in the palace. After the ceremony, she reported to him that the Empress Dowager was about to return to the palace.

"Well, I will go to the palace gate to greet you, and I will call Binger over. I am feeling irritable, so let Binger come over and give me a break." Liu Hongjing lay on the soft couch with a tired look on his face.

Concubine Xue Shu hurriedly agreed, and ordered the maid to call Liang Fengyu over.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Concubine Xue Shu sat beside him and offered him hot tea.

Liu Hongjing let out a long sigh, but he didn't know where to start talking to Concubine Xue Shu.Thinking of the prince, his heart hurts. The son who loves him the most, but he did such a thing to betray him. He knew that he missed his mother so deeply, but he did such a rebellious thing regardless of his feelings. How embarrassing is he!

Above the court, the eldest son was so aggressive that he was speechless, but Liu Huo's idea seemed to be feasible, did he really want to treat the prince like this?

Luo Lianyi soon came over. After she paid her respects, Concubine Xue Shu moved her a small table next to the soft couch, and said, "Bing'er, you can accompany the emperor. I'll go get ready. The empress dowager is going back to the palace this afternoon."

"Yes." Seeing Concubine Xue Shu going out and asking her to be alone with the emperor, Luo Lianyi felt very embarrassed, but she had no choice but to sit down and stretch out her hand to feel Liu Hongjing's pulse.

After Concubine Xue Shu exited the hall, Liu Hongjing sent all the maids and eunuchs out of the hall. There were only two people left in the huge room, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing. It was even more expressionless because he was wearing a mask.

"I look at you so strangely." Liu Hongjing stared at her and said.

"Hehe, why? Your majesty." Luo Lianyi looked up at him.

"Why do you look expressionless? I think you are good everywhere, but this face is too—" Liu Hongjing stopped at this point, as if afraid of embarrassing Luo Lianyi.

"I was born like this." The corners of Luo Lianyi's mouth rose slightly, showing a little smile.

Liu Hongjing looked at her, smiled and said: "Compared with my concubine, you have lost a lot in appearance, but I still like you very much. You make me feel very peaceful. If you want, I can make you your concubine." Zhaoyi."

Luo Lianyi lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Bing'er is not willing."

"Can you tell me why? Are you afraid that I won't spoil you?" Liu Hongjing looked at her curiously.

"I just want to marry a man who only has me in my heart, and be with him forever." Luo Lianyi replied.

Liu Hongjing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case, this idea is not bad, I suddenly feel that I should support you." After he finished speaking, he looked at the image of Noble Concubine Xi hanging on the wall, and said faintly: "If I am not a king, and I really want to marry her for the rest of my life, if there is any exchange, I am willing to take Jiangshan and my life for a few years in exchange for staying with her."

Luo Lianyi followed his gaze to Concubine Xi, and sighed in her heart, why is this woman so unlucky?Is Hongyan really unlucky?

"I believe that God will also take pity on my deep affection and will send her back to my side." Liu Hongjing sat back and said with eyes closed.

"You mean Princess Dongling?" Luo Lianyi asked.

"Yes, she must be the reincarnation of Xi'er. I suddenly thought of a question. Could it be that the crown prince lost her since he was a child? When he met the princess, he also felt familiar, and then mistook this love for love. What?" Liu Hongjing frowned.

Luo Lianyi was speechless to what he said, but he thought so persistently, what could she say?Liu Hongjing stretched out his hand, motioning for her to bring him the tea, and she hurriedly turned around to serve the tea on the table.

"I want to announce to the world that the crown prince will be abolished! Let the crown prince die!" Liu Hongjing said suddenly.Luo Lianyi was startled, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm sorry!" She was so frightened that she hurriedly apologized, while squatting down to pick up the broken teacup, but unexpectedly her finger was pricked and blood flowed out.

"What's the matter? Are you scared by me?" Liu Hongjing got up from the soft couch, reached out to grab her hand, and pressed the wound for her to stop the bleeding.

"It's okay, I'll just bandage it myself." Luo Lianyi abruptly withdrew her hand from his hand, and wrapped it with the handkerchief herself.

Liu Hongjing frowned and looked at her for a while, then said, "Go down and have a rest."

"Yes." Luo Lianyi walked out of Ruoxi Palace clutching her fingers as if she was about to receive an amnesty, and trotted all the way to Shicui Palace.

After entering Shicui Palace, she quickly closed the door and dragged Xiaozhu to the inner hall. "What's the matter? You're in a panic, what happened?" Xiao Zhu asked nervously when he saw that her finger was injured, with a flustered expression.

"It's not good, the emperor said that he will abolish the crown prince and give him death!" Luo Lianyi said anxiously.

"Ah?!" Xiao Zhu was shocked, she stepped back and nearly fell down. "Did the emperor say it himself?" She asked tremblingly.

"Yes, he was talking to me about Concubine Xi, but suddenly he said that he wants to abolish the crown prince and give him death." Luo Lianyi repeated the conversation between her and Liu Hongjing just now.

Xiaozhu carefully understood Luo Lianyi's words, and after contemplating for a while, he said, "Let's go out of the palace and go to Taifu's mansion to discuss countermeasures."

"Well, let's go and talk to Concubine Shu, just say that I miss my mother." Luo Lianyi pulled Xiaozhu out, and the two went to Manjun Palace together. After taking leave with Concubine Xue Shu, they hurried out of the palace to go to Taifu Go to the government.

In Taifu's mansion, Taifu and Prime Minister Yin are both present, and they are discussing today's court affairs.Xiaozhu and Luo Lianyi finally realized that the crown prince was going to be abolished, and that the death of the crown prince was just a trick proposed by King Jing, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Tai Tu, the emperor won't really do this, will he?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"We are all guessing that the emperor neither objected nor approved at the court, but King Jing is aggressive at the court today, which really makes the emperor sad and angry!" Prime Minister Yin sighed.

The Taifu also sighed regretfully, his eyes fell on Luo Lianyi, and said: "The prince and King Jing are both the emperor's sons, one deceived him, and the other disobeyed him, alas!"

Luo Lianyi lowered her head, as if she was the one who made the mistake.

"If the emperor really does this, what should we do?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Let's wait and see, betting on the emperor's love for the crown prince, I shouldn't take it seriously." Taifu said.

"What if it's true? What if it's true?" Luo Lianyi frowned and muttered to herself.Judging from the emperor's attitude towards her, as long as the emperor sees her true face and knows that she is the princess of Dongling County, he will never let her go.Getting along with him these days, she saw that although he was a generation of kings, he was so infatuated, behind his aloofness, he was actually so lonely and fragile. She actually felt an inexplicable pity for him, and she couldn't bear to hurt him.
