Chapter 145 Getting Mu Li Drunk
Wucheng...
Is it possible that I will have the same experience as in my previous life?
Lu Jingning rubbed his brows, looking worried.
"His Majesty."
Mu Li's voice came from outside the door, and Lu Jingning's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard it.
"Your Majesty, the Donglin envoys will be leaving soon in the next two days, and we should not offend them." Eunuch Changxi advised.
Lu Jingning had no choice but to call someone in.
Mu Li had a gentle smile on his face and saluted her: "Greetings to His Majesty."
"Li Qing, there's no need to be so polite." Lu Jingning pointed to the chair below, but Mu Li walked straight towards her with two jugs of wine in his hands, which he gently placed on the table.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about Wucheng?"
This sentence touched Lu Jingning's heart.
She stared at Mu Li in confusion.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to look at me like that. Although Wucheng is on the border of Northern Qi and Southern Liang, it's not far from Donglin."
Mu Li opened a pot of wine and handed it to Lu Jingning: "Your Majesty, this is brewed by me. It has a mild taste and is suitable for girls."
Lu Jingning raised his hand and pressed his arm, frowning and asking, "How did you know this news?"
"This is not a secret..." Mu Li smiled at Lu Jingning: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous. Donglin didn't do this. Donglin is not so despicable and shameless."
Lu Jingning didn't believe a word of this.
He withdrew his hand, changed his sitting position and ignored Mu Li's attempts to pay attention to him.
Mu Li was not annoyed and just stood by quietly.
In the end, it was Lu Jingning who compromised first. He took a pot of wine and put it to his nose and sniffed it gently. There was actually the fragrance of peony flowers in the wine.
It seems that he came prepared.
Knowing that she liked peonies, he specially brewed peony wine.
Really thoughtful.
Lu Jingning was not in a hurry to drink, and looked at Mu Li with a smile: "Today, we are not going to talk about the relationship between the king and his subjects. How about we just be good friends and chat for a while?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to talk about who is causing trouble in Wucheng?"
Mu Li could always guess Lu Jingning's thoughts accurately, but Lu Jingning smiled and said, "It's so troublesome to guess all the time. There are only a few of them, either this one or the other one."
Lu Jingning glanced at Changxi and said, "Bring some snacks."
"Yes."
Soon a table of food was served, and the two sat facing each other. Lu Jingning took the glass and poured a glass of wine, then asked casually, "Does Li Qing have a favorite girl in Donglin?"
Mu Li frowned.
"Li Qing is young, and her status and appearance are both outstanding. There must be many matchmakers waiting for her, right?" Lu Jingning teased, "Isn't it a pity for someone like you to marry into Nanliang?"
"How could it be a pity to be able to accompany Your Majesty? Why should Your Majesty belittle yourself?" Mu Li disagreed.
Lu Jingning raised the wine towards Mu Li, and Mu Li also raised his glass. They drank from each other, the fragrance of the peony flowers lingering in their mouths.
The corners of her mouth curled up: "Good wine!"
Mu Li smiled.
The two chatted about all sorts of things. Lu Jingning's cheeks were flushed and his black pupils were as bright as the moon. On the other hand, Mu Li did not look drunk at all and stared at Lu Jingning without blinking.
Lu Jingning waved his hand: "Everyone, leave."
"Your Majesty?" Changxi panicked.
Your Majesty will definitely be bullied if this man and woman are alone in the same room.
Lu Jingning stood up shakily and glared at Changxi angrily: "Why, you don't even want to listen to me?"
Helplessly, Changxi had to retreat with everyone.
There were only two of them left. Lu Jingning sat down again, burped, and stared at Mu Li seriously: "Li Qing, think carefully. If you are favored by me, you will have to face three palaces and six courtyards in the future. You will not be the only one around me."
Mu Li lowered his eyes to hide the trace of disgust in his eyes, and when he raised his hand again, his face returned to its usual gentleness.
"It is my blessing to be able to accompany Your Majesty."
lie!
No man can tolerate his woman having an affair with other men, even if the other man is an empress.
But Lu Jingning did not expose him. He continued to drink with the other party while holding the wine. The next moment, his body staggered and he fell into the chair without standing steadily. His body limply fell on the table.
Mu Li stood up and gently touched Lu Jingning: "Your Majesty?"
After calling out several times without any response, Mu Li raised a smile and began searching Lu Jingning's body with his fingertips.
As soon as their fingers touched, the next second, Lu Jingning quickly grabbed his hand and twisted it hard.
Crunch!
It was the sound of bones breaking.
Mu Li's face changed slightly, and she stared at Lu Jingning in a daze. How could there be even a hint of drunkenness in her eyes at this moment?
"What are you looking for, Li Qing?" Lu Jingning asked with a smile.
"I..." Mu Li endured the pain and soon calmed down: "I just want to help your Majesty to rest on the couch."
Lu Jingning snapped his fingers, and several men in black rushed out from behind the pillar. They held Mu Li down, and Mu Li's face changed slightly: "What is your majesty going to do?"
Ignoring Mu Li, Lu Jingning picked up the jar of wine in front of him, reached out and grabbed Mu Li's jaw, and drank the whole bowl of wine.
First cup, second cup...
The jar is empty.
Lu Jingning reached behind him and said, "Bring me some wine."
Another jar of liquor was brought up.
Mu Li's clothes had already been soaked by the wine. He struggled, but the black-clothed men were so skilled in martial arts that they held him down so that he could not move at all.
"I've heard that Prince Li of Donglin can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Today I want to see how much Li Qing can drink."
After drinking a glass of strong liquor, the burning sensation slid from his throat all the way to his stomach, and Mu Li's eyes gradually became blurred.
Until Mu Li collapsed to the ground.
The secret guard then let go of his hand.
Lu Jingning looked down at Mu Li and said, "Strip him naked and carry him back to Youran Palace on a quilt."
"Yes."
It was already the second day when Mu Li woke up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Jing Yun's gloomy face. He raised his hand and rubbed his head, feeling swollen and uncomfortable.
"Your Highness."
Jing Yun glanced at Mu Li calmly: "Prince Li has a good alcohol tolerance, how come he got himself drunk this time?"
Mu Li then remembered the drinking scene yesterday and gritted his teeth. Not to mention him, even if a cow was drunk by Lu Jingning in that way, it would be impossible for it not to get drunk.
"Did you say anything to her?" Jing Yun asked with a serious face.
Mu Li shook his head.
"Really?"
"Your Highness, how could I say anything to her?" Mu Li was so angry that he secretly cursed Lu Jingning for being so despicable.
At this time, news of promotion came from outside the door. Mu Li was canonized as Li Guiqing, with the same status as Jing Yun.
Jing Yun raised his eyebrows.
"Your Highness, Lu Jingning is treacherous and cunning. You must not fall into his trap." Mu Li explained anxiously. In fact, he was drunk yesterday and could not remember what he said. He also did not understand why Lu Jingning would enthrone him at this critical juncture.
This is simply nonsense!
