Chapter Nine
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. For a moment, the entire Nanyuan was silent. Everyone looked at the moonlight, to be precise, the skirt on her body.
Yue Luo's heart skipped a beat and thought it was not good. She had calculated it very much, but she didn't expect Tong Jia to make a fuss about this dress. Her current situation was extremely unfavorable to her. Once she was determined to be the relics of Empress Zhaode, she would not confirm her crime of disrespecting the late Empress Zhaode, and she might have to be labeled with an overbearing hat.
She didn't think much about it, and she knelt down on her knees, no matter what, she denied it first.
"The folk girl was wronged. This skirt was placed in the clothes room at that time, and there was nothing special about it."
Tong Jia said sternly, "Don't you mean that this palace has not kept the relics of Empress Zhaode?"
"The young woman dared not." Although she was kneeling, Yue Luo's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "It was just to tell the truth."
Tong Jia raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but she heard the prince say in a deep voice, "How come there are any witnesses?"
Yue Luo thought for a while and said, "There is a maid named Xiao Nian."
"Come on her up."
Yue Luo knelt down below, facing this false charge, her heart was extremely calm. She knew that Xiao Nian was originally Tong Jia's person who could not ask anything, but at least she had to make the tricks full, otherwise how could she play with her? Besides, Tong Jia is just a puppet of the prince, and the real mastermind was the prince wearing a four-clawed python robe!
Even though their strategies are closely linked and pressing step by step, there are always flaws and she is not in a hurry.
Soon the maid Xiao Nian was brought up, and Tong Jia asked, "Xiao Nian, I'll ask you, where did you put this clothes at the clothes room you followed Miss Yue just now?"
Xiao Nian glanced at Yue Luo beside him, then lowered her head and said, "I was outside at that time and didn't see it."
For a moment, the situation was in a stalemate. Yue Luo knelt on the ground and his feet were cut by a blade, which was really painful.
She gritted her teeth and kept thinking about how to escape. In fact, this matter can be big or small. The key is to look at the prince's attitude. He is the eldest son of Empress Zhaode and the person who is most qualified to deal with Empress Zhaode's relics here. But the prince expressed that he wanted her to show weakness to him, so how could this be possible?
The sun was a little dazzling, and the wounds on the feet were getting more and more painful. I felt unsteady when I knelt down. Yue Luo's body shook and slanted to the side.
A pair of gentle and powerful hands held her arm at the critical moment. Yue Luo stabilized her body with the man's arm. She looked up and was about to thank her, but was stunned by the appearance of the man in front of her.
Time seemed to be still at this moment, and everyone became the background of the man in front of him.
In a trance, only the word "stunning" remained in her mind.
There were towering mountains in the north and mists and rains in the south of the Yangtze River between the man's eyebrows and eyes. Just a simple action, she seemed to see the bright moon entering the blue waves and the breeze blew the willows in the river. Just like a simple ink painting, he is a fairy in the painting and a charm on earth.
The so-called Xiao Shuxuan is as clear as a god, and the world is so beautiful, but that's it.
The moon set was captured by the man's extremely handsome appearance, and she was as smart as she could not react for a while.
The man held her and said, "Girl?"
She then came back to her senses, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Qi."
Xuan Mingzhou was stunned for a moment and helped her get up, "I seem to have never seen a girl before. How can a girl determine that I am King Qi?"
Yue Luo asked without answering a question, "The prince has seen countless women. Will he remember their appearance one by one?"
Mingzhou smiled and shook his head, "At least I will never forget the beautiful girl at first sight."
It's indeed a romantic prince.
"Cough cough" The prince sitting above coughed at the right time, and Xuanmingzhou noticed that the atmosphere in the yard was a little wrong.
"Seventeenth brother, why did you come so late?" the prince asked with a reproachful tone.
Xuanmingzhou didn't care at all. He smiled like a spring breeze. "I just talked to Brother Jiu about the new music score, and found that it was a bit different from the book that had been circulating. I argued with Brother Jiu for a long time, and it was a bit late."
Unexpectedly, a famous killer god in Four Kingdoms actually understood the law. Yue Luo had just bent the corner of her mouth, but the pain from her feet made her breathe.
Xuan Mingzhou turned his head and asked with concern, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Yue Luo looked up and faced his clear eyes. Suddenly, the Seventeenth Prince is also the legitimate son of Queen Zhaode. If he could help, the people present would definitely not dare to have any objections.
But before she could speak, Tong Jia shouted righteously, "Seventeenth brother, don't interfere in this matter. This ignorant slut actually put on Queen Zhaode's dance clothes privately. This is very disrespectful. You should take off her clothes and drag them out to blame the ten major boards."
There were some small breathing sounds coming from all around. This punishment was not to be killed in humiliation. The top ten boards would not be able to kill human life, but the punishment was stripped off in front of a group of men, which was a great humiliation for the female prisoner. Tong Jia made a ruthless move this time.
Xuan Mingzhou frowned and looked at the clothes on Yue Luo's body carefully, "Brother, it's just a piece of clothing, why bother so much?"
"Seventeenth Brother" the prince, who had been silent, said sternly, "My mother went there early. You have never seen her wearing this dress. The emperor doesn't blame you. It's just that the mother's relics are so noble. How can others easily defile them?"
The prince's words were quite warning in Yue Luo's ears. He wanted to tell her that his patience was about to be exhausted.
Two powerful eunuchs of Kong Wu stepped forward and were about to pull Yue Luo down, but were stopped by Xuanmingzhou.
"Brother!" His voice was different from the gentleness he had just now, and it was actually very tough.
"The respect for the queen of mother is not in her heart, so why should the emperor be obsessed with a piece of clothing?"
"Are you questioning this palace?" The prince was furious and waved his hand and swept all the fruits and vegetables at his hand to the ground.
Everyone here bowed their heads, fearing that the prince's anger would burn on them.
Xuanmingzhou was not afraid. He pulled Yue Luo, who had not yet come back to his senses by the sudden reversal, and said to the prince, "Brother, there are still some things in Shiqi, so he will take his leave first."
After saying that, he pulled Yue Luo out of the garden gate with a swagger. Everyone sitting there looked at them in amazement, but no one dared to stop them.
Tong Jia was stunned. She turned her head to look at the man beside her. Xuan Lin looked at the backs of the two people leaving with gloomy eyes. He put the cup heavily on the table. The porcelain cup quickly cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it did not completely break, and it still trembled with the hot tea inside. Tong Jia opened her mouth and swallowed the words on her mouth.
Yue Luo was a little dazed. Originally, if Xuan Mingzhou could say one or two words for her, it would be enough for her to escape by herself, but she didn't expect that he could help her to this point.
Yue Luo watched him holding his white wrist and struggled slightly awkwardly. Xuan Mingzhou let go of her hand and turned around and said apologetically, "Perform to the expedient things, I hope the girl should not be surprised."
"How dare you? I haven't thanked His Highness King Qi for his help." Yue Luo was not a petty person. She smiled generously and gave a blessing.
"But since the clothes on the folk girl belong to Empress Zhaode, it would be better to go back soon." She looked at the clothes on her body and smiled at Xuan Mingzhou a little apologetically, "Please forgive the folk girl for not being able to accompany her."
Xuan Mingzhou said with understanding, "This is natural, but the girl's feet-" He looked at Yue Luo's feet, and from the moment he noticed that the girl's feet seemed to be injured.
Yue Luo was about to speak, but then she thought that she was worried about how to get rid of this annoying banquet. Perhaps the prince had a trick, so why not use His Highness Qi to leave this land of storm.
She frowned her extremely handsome eyebrows and said softly, "I accidentally twisted my feet just now."
Xuan Mingzhou frowned. As a prince, he disliked the court. He was rich and loved the mountains. Naturally, he would not think of any strange things. He naturally helped the moon set up. Since they came out, he had been waiting by the servant who had been waiting for him, "Go and invite the imperial physician."
Yue Luo immediately called the servant and said to Xuanmingzhou, "You don't have to bother the imperial doctor at all minor injuries. It's just that the female girl's feet are inconvenient and can't go back to serve her. You also ask your highness to resign in front of the prince."
Xuan Mingzhou nodded and called the servant to come over and said, "Go and tell the prince, just say I'll send it--" He paused and looked at Yue Luo.
Yue Luo said, "The surname of a young woman, the only one is Yue."
Xuanmingzhou continued, "Just say I'll send Miss Yue and I'll go back later."
The servant took the order and left.
Xuan Mingzhou turned his head and looked at her and said, "'Who is the short hatred? When the orioles speak with sincerity and the moon sets." It turns out that his name is as good as his person. The beauty of a girl is indeed only reflected in the artistic conception in poetry."
Yue Luo nodded and did not answer. Xuan Mingzhou smiled slightly and didn't want her to answer the conversation. Instead, he turned around and ordered another servant to prepare the carriage and horse. Yue Luo looked at the car and meticulous man, but shook his head secretly.
Unfortunately, I was born in the imperial family and had too many helpless things.
She blessed her body and said, "Please wait for a moment, and the girl will change her clothes."
Xuan Mingzhou nodded and approved her.
After saluting, she forced herself to walk through the corridor, and stopped at a place that could not be seen in Xuanmingzhou at the corner. Her legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she quickly supported the trunk beside her and barely stabilized her body.
She didn't have the heart to think about anything else now. Now her mind was full of pain from her feet. The soles of her shoes were wet and greasy. She must have been completely soaked by her blood. The shoes were still red in color, and they couldn't see them at all after being stained with blood. I'm afraid this is also the wonderful thing of Tong Jia's plan, which makes her suffer.
She took off her shoes and carried them in her hand. After all, the blade was cut on the instep, and she thought it would be better to walk barefoot.
Yue Luo gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up straight. This is just the first step to revenge. Yue Luo, the bloody feud of the Zhongrong clan has not been avenged, so you must not fall down.
She thought that her blood hatred could temporarily relieve the pain at the moment. After all, compared to such a deep hatred, this small pain could be ignored.
She walked step by step on the pebbly path. Because she was thinking too seriously, even the pain on her feet was gradually left behind by her. She completely forgot that the gravel road under her feet was an extremely difficult path.
Last night, there was a thunderstorm and the ground was extremely slippery. Yue Luo didn't pay attention to his feet for a moment. When the center of gravity was unstable, he would fall to the ground. The raised stones were extremely sharp. Seeing that he was about to hit him, Yue Luo Ji turned his head with all his strength, trying to use one hand and knee to resolve all the impact.
Just as she was cursing her in her heart, while closing her eyes to make an intimate contact with the ground, a strong and powerful hand barely held her arm and pulled her up.
Yue Luo was pulled by the sudden force, and her center of gravity was a little unstable. She quickly grabbed the man's clothes and stabilized her body.
She was about to thank her, but when she looked up, she just met a pair of dark green eyes, dark green, cold, without any fluctuations.
Yue Luo quickly loosened her hands, who were still holding someone's clothes, and found that her shoes were still in her hands. So she suddenly remembered that she was still barefoot and was very busy for a moment.
The man chuckled, and Yue Luo glared at him with shame and annoyance.
"What, I don't thank me." He looked at Yue Luo jokingly and said.
The man was wearing a mysterious suit, covered with golden silk yarn on his python pattern, and the golden unicorn pattern on his lapel was shining with the sun, and it seemed to be alive and was about to fly into the air.
Suddenly, King Chen looked at him from afar.
King Chen Xuanyin!
The woman in front of him saluted unwillingly. Xuan Yin curled the corners of his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly he saw several winding scars on the woman's white instep, rolling up blood and flesh, shocking. His brow frowned slightly invisibly, and the corners of his mouth that were about to bend were pursed into a hard straight line again.
Yue Luo lowered her head and saw that he had no other instructions, so she bowed and said she back.
Xuan Yin nodded, saying that she was accurate.
Yue Luo suppressed the doubts in her heart and retreated.
She never thought that a general, Wang, who was holding heavy troops in Dongqi, would have a face full of exotic aura.
From ancient times to the present, the saying "If you are not a race, your heart will be different" has been confirmed countless times in emperors, generals and ministers, because no emperor has ever given military power to a person with a foreign bloodline and great achievements.
Even if this person is his son.
What shocked Yue Luo was his dark green pupils.
It really thought it was in line with her guess. He and the man who savored the world with her that night was really the same!
