Yes, I wish you were dead in Xiliang!" Xiao Ren trembled with anger as a whole.
Lou Si nodded, walked slowly to his front, and handed him the long sword in her hand.
"If you so want me to die, then I give you a chance to kill me."
Chu Wei's face changed, and he instinctively wanted to go up to them, but Lou Si raised her hand to stop him, and he had to stand there, tense and watching them.
At this time, Xiao Rui had already hated Lou Si to the extreme, and reached out to take the long sword in her hand.
When his hand was about to touch the long sword, a cold voice from Luo Si echoed in his ear, as evil as a ghost.
"If the whole Xiao family accompanied me in my tomb, I wouldn't lose out. Qiao Lang, what do you think?"
Xiao Rui's hand was stiff in the air, and his face looked terrible.
Lou Si's eyes met his, and she smiled softly like water: "Qiao Lang, why don't you move your hands? Are you unwilling?"
Xiao Ren watched coldly, about to speak, when he caught a glimpse of Lao Yao lying motionless on the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
His face changed, and he rushed forward to carry Lao Yao, who was lying motionless, and walked while sending someone to summon the imperial physician.
At last, he left a sentence: "Today's matter, I will tell the truth to the emperor, the temple of general family is small, can't accommodate princess this big Buddha, please seek another place."
Lou Si made a "zé" sound, reached out to arrange her hairpins, and smiled with a playful twist.
She wanted to see what methods he could use if she didn't leave.
Chu Wei went forward to pick up the sword and put it back in the sheath, walked to her in front and lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong.
"I'm sorry, I'm late. You were humiliated."
Lou Si smiled and rubbed his head, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to blame yourself."
Although she smiled and said it wasn't his fault, Chu Wei knew that she was already extremely angry in her heart, especially when Lao Yao saw the scene between them in bed.
Apart from him, everyone who has seen Lou Xi's sleeping face is now dead.
He carefully held her hand and begged: "I am willing to suffer the whipping, don't let go of me."
Lou Xi looked at him, then pulled her hand away, saying nothing.
Wanxiang and several maids came in carrying water and food, seeing that Lou Xi and Chu Wei were standing in the yard, they were stunned for a moment, and then saw the blood on the ground, their faces instantly turned white.
How could there be blood in the courtyard? Could it be that Princess Lao has been assassinated?
But they were only away for a short while.
Lou Xi glanced at them and didn't say anything. She took a step into the house and soon the sound of whipping in the courtyard could be heard.
Half an hour later, the door of the room was knocked on, and Chu Wei's pleasant voice came from outside.
"Princess, it's time for meal."
Lou Xi leaned against the couch by the window, casually said: "Come in."
A "click" sound, Chu Wei pushed open the door and walked in. He placed the food next to Lou Xi and personally picked up a piece of pastry she liked, holding it to her lips.
Lou Xi opened her mouth and bit off a small piece, her lip brushing his fingers as if by accident.
"It's delicious."
Chu Wei's pale face broke into a smile: "If you like it, I'll buy it for you every day from now on."
Lou Xi remained silent, picked up a piece of pastry and played with it for a long time before slowly saying: "Even the most delicious food eaten every day will eventually become tiresome, and people are no exception."
Chu Wei heard the second part of Lou Xi's statement, and the pastry he had just bitten fell to the ground. His already pale face became even paler.
Then, he "thud" knelt in front of Lou Xi, his voice trembling severely: "Please don't leave me, okay?"
Lou Xi seemed to have ignored him, continuing to play with the pastry in her hand.
Chu Wei held onto Lou Xi's hand and said: "No matter what you impose on me, I will endure it. Please don't leave me, will you?"
Lou Xi still said nothing. Chu Wei grew anxious and took out a knife from his bosom, aiming it towards his chest.
He would rather die than leave Lou Xi.
Lou Xi, seeing this, sneered coldly: "You have grown some backbone now. You even dare to use death as a threat to me."
A "clink" sound was heard, and Chu Wei's knife fell to the ground. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot, at Lou Xi.
"I didn't, I was just afraid that you would leave me."
He knew that Lou Xi wouldn't leave him just because of what happened today, but Qiu Yu mentioned something from the past last night, and he was afraid...
Lou Xi stared at him for a long time before picking up another piece of pastry and holding it to his lips.
"Open your mouth, bite it."
Chu Wei opened his mouth, biting the pastry. He dare not bite too hard, afraid of breaking the pastry and angering Lou Xi.
Lou Xi smiled contentedly, reaching out to stroke his face. "You're so well-behaved, why would I leave you?"
She said this, and she lowered her head to take a bite of the pastry in his mouth. Her tongue brushed against his lips.
"It tastes better than the one just now."
After hearing this, Chu Wei put down his heart again, picked up another piece of pastry and bit it, standing up to bow and hold it in front of Lou Xi, coaxing her:
"Will you eat another one?"
Lou Xi did not refuse; she leaned down, bit into the pastry, and instead of leaving immediately, swallowed it and kissed Chu Wei's lips.
At this moment, the sound of Wanxiang's voice could be heard outside: "Princess, people from the palace have come, saying that the Empress Dowager has summoned you to the palace immediately."
Lou Xi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, already showing some dissatisfaction. She had long anticipated that the Empress Dowager would summon her to the palace, but she hadn't expected it at this particular moment.
Looking at Chu Wei, whose eyes were dazed, Lou Xi gently patted his face and stood up to sit in front of the dressing table. "Come in and dress me, your majesty."
When Wanxiang pushed open the door, Chu Wei was already standing behind Lou Xi.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Lou Xi reached out to stroke the peach blossom that bloomed luxuriously at the corner of her eye.
Mother, what expression would you have when you see your daughter?
Indeed, there is some expectation.
-
The Imperial Study.
Lou Zheng heard that Lou Si had stabbed and injured Lou Yao, causing her to miscarry, he just smiled.
"As long as you, the elder sister, are happy, it doesn't matter even if I set the whole Xiao family ablaze."
The dead soldiers on the ground heard this and their faces changed. Xiao Rui had just conquered Xiliang and was a major contributor to the army, yet he was still not as important as an empress dowager here, which made him wonder if the emperor was afraid that the Xiao family would become too powerful.
Standing aside and attending to the wait, Zhao Xian had no change in his face. He said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has dispatched people to summon Princess to the palace. By now, Princess should be at the palace gate."
Lou Zheng frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and sneered coldly: "Is she so eager to speak up for the fool Lao Yao?"
Zhao Xian had grown up watching Lou Zheng, and knew his temperament and methods well. He bowed his head and dared not answer.
Lou Zheng didn't expect him to say anything, and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and bring the princess over."
Zhao Xian hesitated for a moment and still couldn't help but say: "Should we send someone to Cening Palace to say something?"
Lou Zheng's eyes narrowed dangerously, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at him: "Is it that now in the palace, it's Empress Dowager Cining who calls the shots?"
Zhao Xian's face changed, and he knelt down in one motion, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my imprudent words."
Lou Zheng snorted coldly and said, "For your service to me since you were young, I'll forgive you this time. Go and bring the princess over."
"Yes." Zhao Xian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and exited the Imperial Study.
Lou Zheng took out a hairpin from his bosom, and a faint trace of a sickly smile appeared on his face.
Ah Xi, come to be my empress.
