Chapter 228 Lighting the Sky Lantern (2)
She squinted her eyes, and coolly glanced at the resolute face of the man with wheat-colored skin, and snorted coldly in her heart: Humph, even if he wants to marry, the queen may not agree to his marriage, so she is too lazy to bother here. He was arguing meaninglessly, so let the mother and son argue about it.

The bewitching man over there who had been quiet and silent cast a slight glance, and landed on the golden marriage letter in Fengfeng's hand, a cold smile slowly appeared on his thin lips, well, he must let the golden wedding book go as soon as possible. The paper turned into ashes, let's see what that person will use to show off his pride and force Xiaoyu.

The girl glanced at the golden paper indifferently. After a long time, she told herself to hold her breath and just treat it like a mad dog barking.

She pondered for a while with her clear eyes down, and simply ignored the guy in the bright purple robe that was extremely eye-catching, then raised her head, stared at the emperor with twinkling eyes, suppressed her impatience, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I beg you to give me your favor." Let's make a will!"

The emperor half-raised his eyelids, looked at the three sons with serious faces below, and then at the handsome young girl, meeting her expectant and surprisingly clear eyes, the emperor pondered for a while, and finally opened his mouth slowly Said: "Well, since you are so determined, I will fulfill you and give you an imperial decree to marry independently. From now on, only you can decide your marriage, and no one else, including me, can decide your marriage." right to interfere with your marriage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise, Long live, Long live, Long live!" For the first time, the girl happily knelt down, shouted long live three times with open eyes and then pointed to thank you.

This is the most satisfying edict she has ever received!

As soon as the emperor opened his golden mouth, the silk-yellow imperial decree was quickly sealed and handed over to Dongfangyu.

When the rest of the people saw this, their hearts were full of feelings for a moment; but at the same time, they all fell silent. At this moment, they all knew that if they wanted to truly embrace the beauty, they would only have the ability to make this peerless girl nod in person.

Otherwise, everything will become a bubble, seeing the beauty is close at hand, but you can't reach out to grab it no matter what, the beauty will be broken when you catch it, and no matter how beautiful the bubble is, it will no longer exist.

The emperor was tired for a long time, and he didn't have the mood to ask other things. He glanced at the three dejected sons, then waved them to leave; but Dongfang Yu was left alone in the imperial study for a long time. , I saw her come out of it with a calm expression.

"Xiao Yu, what did His Majesty tell you when he left you alone?" Before Dongfang Yu turned and walked out of the palace gate, a figure in white clothes like snow flashed around the corner.

"Well, you haven't left the palace yet!" Dongfang Yu glanced at him lazily, but talked about it from left to right.

"Xiao Yu." Mo Bai flashed in front of her, blocked her way, fixed her bright eyes, and said in a faint voice with a trace of worry: "Don't change the subject, okay?"

"Mobai, why are you nervous? Just now, Fengluo and the others were all vying to marry me in the Imperial Study Room. You are not nervous. Your Majesty will ask me to talk to you, but you are nervous!" There was clearly an inexplicable displeasure on his face.

Mo Bai was startled, then he approached her ear and whispered, "Are you angry?"

"Who is angry, can he eat when he is angry? Can he be full after eating?" The girl gave him a cold look, curled her lips and hummed: "Since you can't eat, even if you can eat, you won't be full after eating, why should I eat it?" It's very good to be angry."

"But I'm surprised. Don't you understand that since the emperor left me alone, it means that he didn't want you to know what he said to me. You said, if he knew that I leaked the content of the conversation just now to you, he would Won't you find a reason to chop off my head?" She said, leaning closer to the man, blinking her bright and charming eyes, and beheading her neck with her hands raised.

When the bewitching man saw it, his heart skipped a beat for no reason. He thought about it for a while, and then smiled lightly. The so-called care is chaos, and it really is.

"Xiaoyu, promise me." Mo Bai glanced around, quickly grabbed the girl's hands, stared at her peerless face, and said seriously: "No matter when and where, you must protect yourself."

Dongfang Yu raised her head and bumped into his bewitching eyes, she was stunned immediately, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the hand caught by the man from the corner of her eyes, her face couldn't help feeling a little hot, she quickly looked around, she was immediately rejoiced, fortunately, there was no one around. People, if people see her flirting with this person in the Forbidden Palace, maybe there will be an order to send her back to question her crimes before she walks out of the palace gate!

Thinking of this, she tried hard to break free from the man's slender and white hand, looked around vigilantly, and quickly said: "Hey, let go first, if you have anything to say, leave the palace first." She can't forget, the last time She was still three or five steps away, and the queen stopped her back and sent her to prison.

She never wanted to experience this kind of bad luck again in her life.

"Well, then let's go!" Mo Bai deeply felt the uneasiness in her heart from her eyes, and he didn't insist on it at the moment, he let go of his hands to protect her, and the two walked quickly outside the palace.

Finally out of the gate of the Jiuzhong Palace, Dongfang Yu just thought that she was finally free.

But before she could fully spread her laughter on her pretty face, a person suddenly appeared on the right side of them.

"My lord, Miss Yu, you are finally out." The man was dressed in black clothes, his expression was cold and anxious, and he couldn't wait to meet him.

"Cheng Gang? What happened?" Mo Bai immediately asked when he saw his anxious and excited expression.

"My lord, something happened to Rouge, Miss Yu's close maid."

"Rouge?" Dongfang Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately asked anxiously: "What happened to her?" She had been explaining to Xia Xue many times before, taking good care of Yan Zhi and Luo's mother, and Xia Xue left now It didn't take long for Rouge to have an accident.

"She, she was falsely accused of misbehavior, and now she is tied up, and she is going to place a sky lantern in an empty space five miles to the right of Dongfang Mansion."

"Lighting a sky lantern?" Dongfang Yu frowned, looked at Mo Bai's slightly cold face, and asked, "What is a sky lantern?"

"To put it simply, this is a punishment for women's licentious behavior, but the process is very cruel. They first put the punished person into an oil tank and soak them in kerosene, and then hang him upside down and tie him to a wooden stick. And this wooden stick is directly inserted on the platform built with firewood, and the surrounding area under the platform is full of firewood, as soon as the time comes, they will start a fire from the bottom of the platform, and then the fire will continue to burn until the person is burned to death."

After listening to Mo Bai's explanation, Dongfang Yu's face suddenly turned pale.

After the shock, she forced herself to calm down, thinking about countermeasures in her mind, and asked repeatedly: "Cheng Gang, do you know who did this? Are you starting to light the fire now?"
