Chapter 54
Thunderstorms in August were gloomy and scary.Thunder bursts, cloudy.

Occasionally, a flash of lightning pierced the dark night sky, as if tearing the sky apart.

Inside the Deming Palace, red tents are warmed up.

Dai Wang sat in front of the window and patted Luo Tian'er's shoulder lightly.Luo Tian'er slept very restlessly, and the stuffy room made her extremely hot.She was covered with a thin quilt and still felt uncomfortably hot, her long eyelashes fluttered from time to time, Dai Wang looked at it with great heartache.

A thunderous sound woke Luo Tian'er awake.Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"I'm here! Don't be afraid!" Dai Wang picked up the handkerchief and wiped her forehead gently.

"Your Majesty! My concubine had a terrible dream just now! Can you abolish the decree on burial?" Luo Tian'er had indeed dreamed of the scene of burial.Maybe Luo Jiaojiao's words during the day made her think and dream at night.

"Good! Good!" Dai Wang shook Luo Jiaojiao's slender, white hand and nodded.

The rain began to fall, and Yunyi, who had been holding back for a long time, finally relaxed.

Dai Wang couldn't help but raised his head and looked out the window.The sleepy Luo Tian'er fell asleep listening to the rhythm of the rain.

Dai Wang wearily walked to the outer couch and sat down.He lay on the couch for a long time unable to sleep.The princess' words just now still linger in her ears.

The sacrificial burial system is a rule set by the ancestors. Although it is cruel, no one dares to break the old and bring forth the new.Dai Wang was benevolent by nature, and he did not want the living to be buried for the dead.But he was powerless, he was afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his promise!

Such a night is destined to make many people unable to sleep.

Luo Jiaojiao was afraid of thunder and lightning since she was a child, maybe she was too naughty, and the elders usually used this to frighten and restrain her.

Lightning flashed across the window of Luo Jiaojiao's bedroom like a sharp sword, and then there was a "rumbling" thunder, which made her shiver under the quilt.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and lightning flashed one after another.The thunder was much quieter.

Luo Jiaojiao poked her head out of the quilt, looked at the window and shouted to the outer room: "Xuan'er!"

Xuan'er, who had already fallen asleep in the side room, heard the master's call, and hurriedly put on her clothes and came to serve.

"Block this window with a curtain!" Luo Jiaojiao's appearance of lying under the quilt made Xuan'er understand that her master is afraid of thunder and lightning.But the window was too high, and Xuan'er couldn't hang the silk curtain in his hand.

Luo Jiaojiao shook her head when she saw it, put on her shoes and got out of bed, flew onto the narrow window sill, and hung the silk curtain on it.She was pinching her waist and laughing triumphantly, when a bolt of lightning came with thunder.

"Ah!" Luo Jiaojiao was so startled that her face paled, she fell down, but threw Xuan'er down and pinned her down.

Xuan'er twisted his waist and hurt his legs and feet.Luo Jiaojiao managed to get her onto her bed.She took out the wound medicine and rubbed it on Xuan'er, and kept saying, "I'm sorry!"

Xuan'er was in so much pain that she couldn't care less about the distinction between master and servant.She was lying on Luo Jiaojiao's bed so uncomfortable that she died.

This night, Luo Jiaojiao slept peacefully with Xuan'er's company.

The palace has always been a good place for gossip.The news of Xuan'er's injury spread like wildfire. It was said that Luo Jiaojiao had injured her, and the rumors spread more and more outrageous!

Mr. Bo Lang naturally heard about this.Jiang Yu didn't believe that Xuan'er was injured by Luo Jiaojiao at all, so he asked Bo Langjun to defend her.

Mr. Bo Lang just drank his tea in silence, but he wished that everyone would know about Luo Jiaojiao's beating.If Yang Zuocao knew about this, he would never agree to his son marrying this girl.

"Mr. Bo Lang! Called on behalf of the king! I want you to enter the palace immediately!" Liu's servant hurriedly reported outside Mr. Bo Lang's house.

Mr. Bo Lang had no choice but to get up and follow Liu Neishi to the palace.When he met Dai Wang, he realized that it was the princess who heard about his sister and fell ill with depression.

"You got the man into the palace! What do you think about this matter?" Dai Wang put on a straight face and gave Bo Langjun a back.

"This matter is definitely not what the rumors say! Luo Jiaojiao will never do something like beating a maidservant!" Bo Langjun bowed his hands and saluted.

"Oh! Could it be a rumor?" Dai Wang angrily turned and stared at Bo Langjun.

"Call someone over to confront him, and we'll know!" Mr. Bo Lang asked nonchalantly.

"Okay! Come! Bring Luo Jiaojiao and her maidservants to this king!" Dai Wang shouted angrily.

Liu Neishi hurriedly took people to Xiangxin Garden.It was the first time he saw Dai Wang get angry.

Luo Jiaojiao was feeding Xuan'er in the house, when Liu's house attendant led someone in and broke in.

"On behalf of the king, send Luo Jiaojiao and Xuan'er to meet you in the imperial study!" Liu Neishi was also taken aback when he saw the situation in front of him, he softened his tone and passed on the order from the king.

Xuan'er was carried to the imperial study.Luo Jiaojiao saluted Daiwang with a blank expression.She didn't know why Dai Wang looked at her angrily, and why Mr. Bo Lang looked at her with a half-smile.

"Tell me how you were injured?" Dai Wang went to the dragon chair and sat down.

Just as Xuan'er was about to speak, Luo Jiaojiao immediately saluted and said, "Actually, it's nothing? It's just..."

"This king is asking questions, how can you interrupt? If you say more, you will be slapped!" Dai Wang patted the dragon case, scared Luo Jiaojiao trembled, and quickly closed her mouth tightly.

Xuan'er had no choice but to tell the Dai Wang everything about last night.

Dai Wang's eyes widened after hearing Xuan'er's reply.He never expected that Luo Jiaojiao, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, would be afraid of thunder and lightning!
Mr. Bo Lang suppressed his smile and said to the King Dai: "Although Xiaoniang Luo is stubborn, she is definitely not a master who bullies slaves. Please ask someone on behalf of the King to investigate the slanderers in the palace, so as to quell the rumors in the market."

"Liu Neishi! This king gives you three days to investigate this matter! Otherwise, you will be kicked out of the palace!" Dai Wang's anger was directed at Liu Neishi again.

"Yes! I'll do it now!" Liu Neishi didn't expect that the unlucky person in the end would be himself.

"Your Majesty! The Princess wants to see you!" Qing'er saluted outside the door and reported.

After hearing this, Dai Wang hurriedly got up and went to Mingde Palace.Luo Jiaojiao turned to look at the door of the imperial study room, the light outside made her unable to open her eyes.

"Come here! Send Xuan'er back to Xiangxin Garden!" Bo Langjun rushed to the guard outside the door.

Luo Jiaojiao walked beside Xuan'er's stretcher, thinking about what happened just now.She has already basically figured out the clues, that is, someone used Xuan'er's injury to spread rumors and cause trouble, which made her take the blame for no clear reason.

Luo Jiaojiao asked Xuan'er to be placed on her bed, but Xuan'er refused.Luo Jiaojiao had no choice but to put her on the bed in the side room.

Luo Jiaojiao felt that her throat was a little hot, so she added some tea and took a big sip.

"If it wasn't for your sister, I'm afraid I don't know how you died this time!" Bo Langjun's voice rang in Luo Jiaojiao's ear.

"Why are you here?" Luo Jiaojiao put down her teacup and turned around to see the slightly pale Bo Langjun.

"If I don't come, can you get away with it?" Bo Langjun sat at the tea table and considered himself.

"If you didn't let me enter the palace, how could I be framed?" Luo Jiaojiao retorted.

"Captain Zhao has come to Daiguo, don't say you don't know!" Bo Langjun was a little annoyed.It's his fault that he helped her so much, and it's fine that he didn't even hear a word of thanks!

"Oh! So you were afraid that he would recognize me!" Only then did Luo Jiaojiao understand Bo Langjun's real purpose for letting her enter the palace.

"Although your mind is not very bright, I don't want you to die in a daze!" Bo Langjun said what was in his heart.

"If I'm recognized, will you really kill me?" Luo Jiaojiao looked up at Bo Langjun.

"If necessary, I will not hesitate!" Bo Langjun turned and left heartlessly.

Luo Jiaojiao stood there for a while, then said sadly in her heart: "Yeah! I am not someone to him either! Compared with his righteousness, what am I? Why should he let me go?"
