Chapter 359 Negotiations
With the joint help of Wan Qiyueli and Tian'er, Lou Xuanying wrapped a thick bloody cloth strip around her arm. She also specially chose a plain white dress to wear, so that the blood on her left arm was very conspicuous.

Tian'er helped her put on a bleak make-up, which made her look sick and ready to collapse at any time.

She appeared in the hall with this "respect" and stood in front of Mo Xuanming.

"See... Your Majesty." Lou Xuanying knelt down to salute Mo Xuanming "weakly", her lips were bloodless, her voice was weak, and she completely lost her usual arrogance.

Mo Xuanming covered his mouth and coughed a few times. When he raised his head, he was a little frightened. He stared at her for a while, thinking about the reality in his heart.

After this incident, he had seen through her long ago. He was full of lies, and he could not change his face when he lied. He couldn't tell when she was telling the truth and when she was telling lies.

He frowned, put down the teacup in his hand, and said softly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lou Xuanying stood up with great difficulty, and before she stood up straight, she couldn't help but shake, put her hands on her forehead, and shook her head slightly, as if she was a little dizzy.

"Stop pretending, I don't care about the 'serious injury' with you, you sit there, I have something to tell you." Mo Xuanming finally couldn't stand it anymore, although her appearance was not broken, if put For a weak woman, he might believe it, but this person is Lou Xuanying, who is like a bull, making these weak movements, the more he looks at her, the more suspicious she becomes.

Lou Xuanying didn't let go of her hand on her forehead, she was really faking it before, but she was really dizzy when she got up, and there was even a dark shadow in front of her eyes, she stood for a while before she could see clearly.

How many meals did she not eat or drink normally?Today, I slept until the sun was high, and the old man came over before I even had a meal. She is suffering from hypoglycemia now!

She retreated to her seat, leaned on the armrest and sat down slowly, turning a deaf ear to the emperor's words, still showing her weakness.

"When are you going to pretend?"

"Your Majesty, I was really injured. Could it be that Mo Hongyi didn't tell you about my injury at his place when he told you that Prince Yi's mansion was on fire?"

Mo Xuanming was surprised, he had never heard of her injury, and he didn't notice it at all last night.

"How did you get hurt? Who hurt you?"

"My third sister, Lou Xuanya, Your Majesty, you let Mo Hongyi marry her first, and then sent me to Prince Yi's mansion. In her eyes, I seemed to be robbing her man. She took advantage of my sleep and stabbed me hard It stabbed towards my heart. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, so I stabbed my arm. The injury was not particularly serious at first, but I didn't treat the wound properly, and it got infected after sleeping all night. Now I feel uncomfortable all over. If the emperor has nothing important to do I want to go back and rest." When Lou Xuanying said these words, she always supported her head with her hands, her face was haggard, and she kept speaking in a lower voice.

Mo Xuanming narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to figure out the truth of what she said.

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can go to Prince Yi's mansion and ask."

She would say that, the injury seems to be a real thing, but is there such an exaggeration?

"Is this plausible? Lou Xuanya is still the 'number one talented woman', she doesn't even have basic female virtues, so why not let Hong Yi take a concubine?"

Lou Xuanya wanted to kill her, Lou Xuanying naturally hated her, but from her point of view, she was not wrong, love is selfish, if it were her, if she married Mo Jinghao, she would Don't want another woman to share her man!

She pursed her lips, and didn't want to argue with the emperor about wives and concubines. Even if she wanted to argue, it would be powerless, but there was one point that she had to fight with reason, because as long as the imperial decree was still in Mo Hongyi's hands, her freedom would never come back.

"The emperor asked us two sisters to serve as one husband. Could it be that he wants us to follow in the footsteps of the empress and concubine Lan?"

"Lou Xuanying!" Mo Xuanming slapped the table and stared at her. She repeatedly challenged his patience, is she really not afraid of death?

"The emperor is angry, but I still want to say it. Since you have pointed out my third sister to the second prince, I can no longer get involved. I also ask the emperor to take back the imperial order and take back the imperial edict from the second prince!"

Mo Xuanming's chest heaved violently, he was holding back his breath.Knowing her stubborn nature, he would be pissed to death sooner or later if he was serious with her, he took a deep breath to calm his anger, then changed his expression and smiled instead of anger.

"Want me to take back the imperial decree? It's not difficult, you just need to promise me two things."

Lou Xuanying looked at Mo Xuanming vigilantly, always thinking that it would be a trap, if she complied, would she die an ugly death?
"what's up?"

Mo Xuanming didn't expect that there was also something she was afraid of.

"It's very simple. Persuading Jing Hao to become the prince should be easy with your ability. Also, the queen is on a hunger strike, do you know what to do?"

She blinked, a little surprised by what she heard.

"The emperor still decided to give Mo Jinghao the position of crown prince? But why should I say this? If you come down with an imperial order, everything will be over?"

"Don't you know him yet? He resists his identity now, and it is impossible to accept the order."

Lou Xuanying rested her chin and thought, the emperor's words were true, Mo Jinghao's attitude last night was very clear, he had lost interest in the crown prince.

She pursed her lips and replied angrily: "You must let him be the prince? He doesn't want to. Most of the princes are vying for it. You can change someone."

Mo Xuanming gave her a hard gouged look, what is she making a fuss about?
"Don't you want Jing Hao to be the crown prince?"

On this question, she chose to remain silent.

She really doesn't want Mo Jinghao to be the prince. If possible, she even selfishly hopes that he is an ordinary person, so that her vision of a lifetime of one couple can be realized.

"You should know that Jing Hao is the most capable among all the princes, and he is also the most suitable for the position of prince. That's why I reluctantly wanted to kill him before. I also told you that as long as he exists for a day, it is impossible for other princes." Stabilize the country, now it is clear that he is my son, he must be the crown prince!" Mo Xuanming had already made up his mind, and in his opinion, Mo Jinghao had always been the best candidate to inherit the throne.

"I don't know what you think in your heart, and I'm not sure if you really don't want Jing Hao to be the prince, but I want to tell you, whoever becomes the prince, you have to follow who!" He was forcing her to make a decision, He had already seen that she and Jing Hao liked each other, and he didn't believe that she would be willing to be with someone other than Jing Hao.

When Lou Xuanying heard this, she was so angry that she slapped the table, not as ill as before.

But the action was too rough, which not only involved the wound, but also made her grin in pain. She was already dizzy from hunger because she got up too violently, and she immediately held onto the table to stand still.

"I'm a human being, not a puppet. The emperor puts me on others at every turn. What does he think of me? Has my dignity been taken into consideration?" After she regained her composure, she immediately questioned Mo Xuanming angrily.

"If Mo Jinghao becomes the prince, you can stay by his side!" Mo Xuanming said lightly, glanced at her angry face, picked up the teacup and drank tea by himself.

Lou Xuanying gritted her teeth and stared at him, he was forcing her!What he meant was that if Mo Jinghao rejected the position of prince, it would be tantamount to handing her over to other princes!

"What if I refuse?"

Mo Xuanming stared at her, and told her coldly: "If you refuse, then there is only one fate for you, and that is death!"

"Dead?" Lou Xuanying sneered, yesterday he already wanted to kill her, if she refused, the end might really be death.

"You know, for the sake of the country and the country, I will definitely do what I say. You can only choose one of death and persuading Jing Hao to be the prince."

pedantic!She will be killed by the prophecy of the hidden ancient pavilion in this life!

"I know you like Jing Hao. Since you like him, if you persuade him to be the prince, you will naturally be the princess. This is what so many women dream of. Why do you hesitate? Or are you playing hard to get?"

Lou Xuanying turned her face away. Only she knew why she was hesitating. In this ancient times, her thoughts would be labeled as unfeminine, and one day she would be labeled as "seven out".

But what can she do?She had no choice but to take one step at a time.

She closed her eyes for a long time, and she regained her composure when she opened it again: "Okay, I promise you, I can do the two things you said, but I also have conditions!"

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"It's still the same sentence. I am a human being with dignity. I hope the emperor will stop treating me like a puppet!" That feeling made her very uncomfortable, as if she had completely lost her human rights.

"If Jing Hao becomes the crown prince, you will naturally follow him, and I will hold a wedding banquet for you so that you can become the crown prince in a glorious manner."

She tried to take a deep breath and told herself not to worry about it, it was just a trivial matter, and she could discuss it with Mo Jinghao at that time.

"This is the first, and the second, please don't let the fifth princess get married!"

She made this request not to forgive Mo Xiaoqi, but because of Huangfuchen. As for how the pair of enemies will develop in the future, that is their business, and there is only so much she can do.

"You are not joking, I have already issued an order for the fifth princess to marry her, next month the Qiang Wu Kingdom will send envoys to marry her."

"Oh, you are not joking?" Lou Xuanying sneered, and sneered at Mo Xuanming's words, "Will the emperor talk less if he ruins himself? You pointed me to Mo Jinghao in an imperial decree, and then you gave me to Mo Xuanming again." I sent me to Prince Yi’s mansion with an imperial decree? Now, in order to negotiate terms with me, I’m going to take back the imperial order again, so I still have to take back the edict of the fifth princess’ marriage?”

Mo Xuanming frowned: "You should know that these are two different things. How will I explain to the Qiang Wu Kingdom when I take back the edict? It is very likely that a war will be provoked. This matter is not trivial. It is not just a matter of casual talk. I cannot agree to this condition." you."

"Well, one condition for another. I'm only in charge of persuading Mo Jinghao to become the crown prince. As for whether the queen wants to commit suicide, the emperor puts down his face to persuade him, and he may not be able to persuade him, right? She is all focused on Mo Jinghao now, Mo Jinghao. If Jing Hao hated her for the rest of her life, she probably wouldn't be able to survive."

Lou Xuanying had already noticed that the empress committed a terrible mistake but was not severely punished. The emperor's feelings for her were self-evident. He was willing to let her die?
