Chapter 331 That won’t work
Seeing his expression changing, Luo Yao was afraid that he would overheat his CPU.
So he changed the subject:
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report. It's about Concubine Xian in the Yanxi Palace..."
Hongli looked up in astonishment, "Is Concubine Xian also the Queen Mother's person?!!"
These words came out subconsciously.
It can be seen that he has been suspicious of Ruyi in his heart for more than a day or two.
“No wonder….No wonder….”
Hongli muttered to himself, and then became furious.
He slammed the table!
"What a great Concubine Xian!"
He knew that what Ruyi did at the time was very strange.
She didn't expect that even though the Queen Mother killed her aunt, the two of them could still be together!
Seeing his angry look, Luo Yao touched her nose awkwardly.
Now, instead of changing the topic, the situation became even more serious.
So he quickly interrupted his brainstorming and said:
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I was talking about something else."
"It was the maidservants around Concubine Xian who came to see me and told me about their recent experiences..."
Luo Yao recounted the difficulties they had encountered at the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, without hiding anything ulterior motive.
Hongli breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
It turns out that only Ruyi suffered a little, that’s okay, that’s okay.
He thought the other party had also betrayed him.
It was just a false alarm, just a false alarm.
After all, if even someone like Ruyi, who has a blood feud with her, can side with the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother's methods must be too unfathomable.
After calming down, he looked at his capable subordinate in front of him.
"So, in your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"
Luo Yao naturally would not suggest that Hongli should be a hero and save the beauty. Why do such a thankless task?
"I feel that since Empress Xian didn't say it in person, there is still room for maneuver."
Hongli nodded again.
"Yes, Concubine Xian has always been arrogant. She hasn't come to me yet. I guess she hasn't realized her mistake yet."
Children do not obey how to do?
Most of them are used to it, so a beating will be enough.
This sentence also applies to Ruyi.
After hearing these two things, Hongli no longer wanted to continue reading the memorials.
So she threw away the things in her hand and looked at the calm and collected man in front of her with admiration. The more she looked, the more she liked him.
"Li Yu, you did a great job this time and solved another potential hidden danger for me."
"Tell me, what reward do you want? I will definitely satisfy you!"
Luo Yao glanced at him and thought, I told you I wanted you to sleep with me for a few days, but you refused to agree...
Her Adam's apple rolled, and she thought it would be better to just think about these fierce words in her heart.
Otherwise, if you say it out loud, people will think you are a pervert.
"It is my duty to share the emperor's worries, so I don't want anything."
"If the emperor really wants to reward me, please ask me to sing less songs in the future."
Luo Yao thought about it and proposed a condition to reduce the workload.
As a result, Hongli refused without any extra thought:
"That won't work!"
The refusal came out of his mouth so easily that Luo Yao's face turned dark.
After he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed and said with a dry cough:
"Change the conditions. I will definitely agree to your request."
Luo Yao curled her lips speechlessly.
"Forget it, I'll go to the Nan Mansion to summon Bai Ruiji."
This dog emperor never speaks a word of truth!
Having said that, she turned and walked away, and no matter how Hongli called her from behind, she did not look back.
Seeing him walking away, Hongli couldn't help shaking his head.
"This guy is good in everything except that he has a bad temper."
How could a servant dare to throw a tantrum like this?
Only if I am a wise ruler can I tolerate him.
"Besides, he sings very well, why don't you like singing..."
Hongli played with the beads in his hand, not quite understanding.
After thinking for a while, I finally came to the conclusion:
"He must be shy!"
Hongli clapped his hands, feeling that he had seen through Li Yu's shy heart beneath his cold appearance.
............................................
Nanfu.
It was already dark at this time and the prostitutes no longer needed to rehearse.
I have some time to rest.
Bai Ruiji was absent-minded the whole day today and she didn't even know how many mistakes she made when playing the pipa.
She no longer had the capital to fail again, so she couldn't help but be nervous about this matter.
Since they made mistakes repeatedly like this, they were naturally scolded by the aunt in charge who was in charge of disciplining them.
She was punished so severely that she didn't even have dinner.
But it doesn't matter.
Whether it can be accomplished depends on these one or two days. If not, what’s the point of eating more food?
On the contrary, if it succeeds, there will be plenty of delicacies waiting for you in the future!
Bai Ruiji sat on her bed, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
There were many people living in their room, and they were all very surprised to see her sitting on the bed in a daze.
Some people started to laugh.
"Hey, look at our troublemaker. What happened? Why is he so quiet today?"
With one person taking the lead, others seemed to have found an outlet.
"That's right. Where is the arrogant demeanor you had in the past? Why do you look so weak now?"
The courtesans sat aside and maintained their pipa.
The sisters were chatting and laughing, looking very happy.
"She is so conceited that she even wants to deliberately play the wrong note to attract the emperor's attention. Who among us has the courage to do that?"
Some people were disdainful to speak, obviously still upset about Bai Ruiji's deliberate display of attention.
You know, if they anger the emperor, they will also be implicated!
It would be good if Bai Ruiji was in power.
Now that you are not in power, it is natural that everyone will step on you.
In the past, Bai Ruiji would usually argue with them, but now she endured it.
She might be summoned by the emperor soon, and she didn't want to encounter any setbacks in her life at this juncture.
However, her tolerance made others think that she was afraid, and for a while she was ridiculed and mocked.
Bai Ruiji listened to everything and felt deeply...
until--
"Bai Ruiji? Bai Ruiji, come out for a moment. Eunuch Li Yu in the imperial court is looking for you!"
A loud shout came from the door, and the noise in the room stopped instantly.
Everyone's eyes turned towards the door.
I saw a young eunuch holding his hat and breathing heavily.
Apparently he ran all the way here to deliver a message.
Bai Ruiji, who was playing the role of Ninja Turtle, was startled and stood up suddenly.
"Okay, I'll come right away!"
She stood up hurriedly, took two steps, then walked back and picked up her pipa.
Everyone in the room stared blankly at her as she walked away until she could no longer be seen.
"If I heard correctly just now, the little eunuch said that it was Eunuch Li Yu in the imperial court who called her?"
Someone spoke after realizing it belatedly.
As she finished her words, the room suddenly became lively again.
