No matter how strong and decisive you pretend to be in front of others, you still can't resist the impulse in your heart.

Liu Zhili didn't know how long she stood there, but she only remembered that it was already noon when she woke up from her thoughts.

Liu Zhili put away his emotions and returned to Liuli Palace. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Duanmuqing walking around the door anxiously. Seeing Liu Zhili coming back, he immediately showed his sad face and hurriedly said

He came forward with a happy face.

"Miss, where have you been? Qing'er is worried to death! Lunch is already ready. Come in and eat quickly."

"Well, let's go. You can eat together too." Liu Zhili smiled faintly, did not answer Duanmuqing's question, and then walked towards the house.

During the meal, it was as calm as usual. The two of them said nothing, but Duanmuqing always glanced at Liu Zhili intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to find out what was in her heart, but Liu Zhili had no choice but to eat alone.

From the beginning, he kept his head down, silent, expressionless, and seemed to be very focused on eating.

In fact, she knew that the young lady was going to see the emperor off, but she knew that Liu Zhili was a person with strong self-esteem and didn't want others to know, so she pretended not to know.

However, seeing Liu Zhili still like this, Duanmuqing couldn't help but feel worried and distressed. He didn't know what happened to the two of them.

"Don't look at it. I went to see him off, but I just took a look at him from the tower and didn't meet him." Liu Zhili said lightly, not looking at Duanmuqing as he spoke, and put a piece of green vegetables into his mouth.

He continued to eat with relish, his tone could not be calmer, as if he was saying I bought a cabbage today.

"Ah? Little Miss Qing'er is not

amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;

;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;

#8226;;•;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;”

Duanmuqing didn't react for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Zhili to be so direct, and he knew what she was thinking without looking at her eyes or expression. It was really scary!

"Okay, let's eat. The food will get cold if you don't eat it." Liu Zhili raised his head, glanced at Duanmuqing, who looked slightly panicked, and then lowered his head and continued eating, but there was a hint of sullenness in his words.

After hearing Liu Zhili's words, Duanmuqing did not dare to say anything more and lowered his head to eat with concentration.

At this time, bursts of violent coughing came from Murong Ying's room in General Murong's Mansion. Murong wondered why the housekeeper hadn't come back yet. After waiting for a long time in the morning, Murong Ji didn't come back. Maybe it was because the emperor was angry and wanted to embarrass him.

So I just sent a housekeeper to inquire about it, but I don't know what is going on.

General Murong gnashed his teeth in hatred as he thought about last night's experience. If the dog emperor hadn't been so cunning and cunning as to drag him into the water, why would he be so cruel to him?!

The memory was pulled back to the scene last night.

;

"Telford, get a bucket of hot water and a bucket of ice water. The hotter the hot water, the better. As long as you can get into the water, it's okay. Cold water is fine."

;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;Add half a bucket of ice!" In the room, under the dim light, General Murong coldly ordered the housekeeper.

"General, you want a bucket of hot water."

"A bucket of cold water, dry•••"

I was stunned when I heard this, and looked shocked at General Murong, who looked majestic and serious, not like he was joking.

"There's so much nonsense, just do it if you are asked to do it! Don't you want to be the chief steward of the General's Mansion anymore?! You don't want to do it, but there are many people who want to do it!" General Murong scolded him coldly, if it wasn't for a trick.

If he had done enough, why would he want to abuse himself like this?

"Yes, yes, I will go and prepare for you, General!"

Li Defu had just taken two steps when he was called back by General Murong.

"Wait a minute. Don't publicize this matter, let alone let others discover it.

Otherwise, be careful with your head!" General Murong thought for a while and then said slowly, with a serious expression. Long Yuhan must have arranged an informant in the general's mansion, so it is better to be careful. "Yes, yes, amp;

#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;

#8226;;•;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;Got it!”

After saying that, Butler Telford became panicked and ran out to get ready. The moment he turned around, a glint flashed in his eyes, but the anxious General Murong didn't notice it.

After a while, four servants wearing black servant uniforms came in, carrying a large bucket of steaming hot water and a large bucket of cold water that was mostly filled with ice. Li Defu was also followed by them.

"Okay, you all go down!" Seeing them put the barrels away, General Murong waved his hands coldly and said, his face so dark that he could give Gong Bao a try.

"But General"

"This general said, get down! Don't you understand?" General Murong scolded sternly, and at the same time a sharp look swept across Defu's face. This butler was really getting more and more disobedient. If he hadn't been thinking about him when doing things,

He has good abilities and has always kept the general's mansion in order. He has been kicked out a long time ago!

"Yes! Everyone, get out!" Li Defu yelled at the servants behind him, and then he lowered his body and exited with them.

With a "squeak" of the door closing, General Murong was the only one left in the silent room.

General Murong looked at the steaming wooden barrels and the cold steaming barrels in the room. His face became a little more solemn. He was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind to take off his coat, one by one.

It was very difficult, and when only a thin middle coat was left, General Murong stopped.

Step by step, he walked to the bucket of hot water and stepped in. Suddenly, a temperature much higher than his own spread throughout his body. There were also several scars on his back and chest caused by the burning of the hot water.

Become red and swollen.

After a while, not only General Murong's body, but also his face became red, and his whole body was red. In addition, it was almost summer, the weather was a little sultry, and hot sweat kept coming out, and the hot sweat on his face

It flowed down the cheeks into the water like water.

It was less than half an hour before General Murong came out of the barrel, but as soon as he came out, he immediately jumped into another barrel filled with more than half of the barrel of ice cubes.

When his whole body was immersed in the ice water, he suddenly felt that he had gone from hot summer to cold winter, but soon he felt like a naked person lying in an ice cellar. The sweat that had not yet dried on his body immediately

Ice particles formed, and I was shivering all over from the cold, but I still had to endure it.

As the temperature of his body gradually dropped, his eyebrows and lips were covered with a thick layer of frost. General Murong couldn't help but sneeze loudly. Hearing the sound, Li Defu rushed to the hospital.

Come in.

"General!" When he saw General Murong sitting in a bucket filled with ice, looking like an iceman, he immediately froze in place.

"Get out!" When General Murong saw someone coming in, he immediately shouted coldly, but his voice couldn't stop trembling.

Li Defu reacted immediately. Although he felt sorry for the general, the general's actions did not free him, so he had to retreat angrily.

I don’t know how long it took, General Murong felt weak all over, his body had lost consciousness, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. He used his last bit of strength to shout,

"Come, come people."

;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;

;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;Peopleamp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;

";" At this moment, he really hoped that Defu would rush in like before, but after shouting for a long time, no one was seen.

Outside the door••••

"Butler, is the general calling us?" One of the servants with sharp ears asked cautiously.

"Really? Why didn't I hear you? I was scolded by the general just after I entered. Which of you who are not afraid of death can go in!" Li Defu glanced at the servant, and then continued to lean against the door, closing his eyes to rest.

"Yeah, I didn't hear it either. Did you hear it wrong, Zhuzhu?!" One of the servants responded.

"That's right, I didn't hear it either. You'd better wait at the door and wait for the general's orders. Don't go in and seek death." The other one also quickly smoothed things over.

After hearing what Li Defu and the others said, the man immediately shut his mouth and waited outside the door with an aggrieved look on his face.

In fact, Li Defu had heard it a long time ago. Anyway, the old guy is determined to survive. It won't be too late to pick him up after he has suffered enough. The key is that the emperor is satisfied. Once the old fox is eliminated, he will no longer have to work hard to lurk.

It's in the General's Mansion.

In the night, Li Defu lowered his head and raised a cold smile that was not easy to detect. It is the truth that the devil is as high as the Taoism.

;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;amp;#8226;;

About a quarter of an hour later, after Li Defu didn't hear the faint shouts from inside, he yawned, pretended to wake up suddenly and shouted worriedly,

"Why haven't you heard the general's order yet?! Did something happen?!"

"Ah? No way?! How about you go in and take a look?

?" When one of the servants heard this, he immediately panicked and looked at Li Defu nervously.

"Should I go in? What if I get scolded again, or the general kills him in anger?! You should go in." Li Defu quickly pretended to be scared and said timidly.

These words were heard by the unconscious General Murong. If he had known better, he would not have been so cruel to them. Now, he could not speak anymore. He felt that he was about to freeze into ice. The summoner in his heart countless times

Li Defu, but the people outside are still pushing and talking about whether to go in or not.

"Hey, forget it! Let me go in! For the general's safety

, Even if you lose your life, it’s worth it!” Li Defu pretended to be resigned to death, gritted his teeth, and rushed in regardless of his own safety.

Immediately, the admiration of the servants arose spontaneously, and they all hid at the door waiting for news about Li Defu.

"General! Come quickly."

Seeing that Murong Ying's whole body was completely limp in the bucket, Li Defu immediately shouted loudly toward the door. Everyone worked together to fish General Murong out. Everywhere he touched, everyone trembled. It was really not an ordinary cold.

It's like hitting an ice cube.

Li Defu took advantage of the situation and tried his breath. Fortunately, he was still alive, otherwise the show wouldn't be able to be staged tomorrow.
