The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 61 Argument
After staring at her for a while, Xie Zhao still didn't know what to say, so Xie Zhao had no choice but to persuade her to go out with a straight face.

He said: "Go to the side hall and let me stay by myself for a while."

"Nuo..." Xueli bowed her head and went to the side hall.After hearing this, Wei Chen bowed and left.

After the palace people left, the already empty inner hall became even emptier. Xie Zhao sat quietly for a while with his hand supported, a tear was slowly pushed out by the emptiness in the hall, and splashed into the wine glass between his fingers .

This is the fourth time he has faced such a thing.

The first one was hacked to death by random knives, and it was already a corpse when it was found; the second one was blinded and went back to Fusi, the imperial order of Weibei Town, at night, and told Wei Chen what he saw The third one was on New Year's Day last year, when he followed the lights of thousands of houses to investigate a clue that he had just obtained, and was cut by a sharp knife at a place not far from the West City Lantern Festival.

Lu Yong is the fourth.

He remembered everyone, and their deaths seemed to be a demonstration to him in the dark.The imperial guard he raised with one hand was famous in Luo'an City, but he still couldn't escape this kind of death, and he couldn't even figure out who the murderer was.

Xie Zhao knew in his heart that there were too many people who disliked Yu Lingwei.The imperial guards are a barrier in front of the imperial power. With them supporting the imperial power, the aristocratic families will be suppressed.When the father was in power, the imperial guards were suppressed by several aristocratic families and survived in name only. At that time, he, the prince, witnessed what kind of smoky atmosphere was in the court.

He has long decided to help the imperial guards up again, and he also knows that they are in the open, and the ruthless family is in the dark, this fierce battle will inevitably be tragic...

But when the people who used to talk and laugh with him turned into lifeless corpses lying in front of him, all the preparations in his heart were still like loose sand that could not be easily attacked.

Xie Zhao chuckled, and touched the silver dart on the case.Only two knuckles long, but narrow and sharp.

He threw the silver dart into the wine glass, and the blood on it slowly melted in the wine, turning from wisps of blood into an even light red color throughout the glass, and when the silver dart was taken out again, it was as clean as new.

Lu Yong...

The emperor's eyes were fixed on the cup of light red.

This revenge must be avenged.

In the side hall, Xue Li was silent for a while, but suddenly couldn't bear it any longer.

Just now, her mind was in a mess, and the question "Your Majesty and Lord Wei are very sad" was in front of her eyes, and she only wanted to solve it, and couldn't think of anything else.

But now, after calming down and thinking about it, the pictures that dazzled my mind just now... all of a sudden became real.

The man in the carriage is Mr. Lu... He is covered in blood, he is dead.

The sockets of Sydney's eyes became hot, and the tears welled up so quickly that they couldn't stop wiping.

The place where she was sitting was facing the door of the side hall, and there were palace people outside, Xueli knew that crying like this would be troublesome if she was seen, and she would be seen when she closed the door in the past.Sobbing silently for a while, she got up and hid to the side, until she couldn't see the wall directly from the door.

When Xie Zhao wanted to go outside for a walk, he passed by the side hall and remembered that Xueli should be waiting, but when he glanced at it, there was no one there.

After walking in two steps, I saw her sitting on the ground by the wall, with her arms wrapped around her knees, her head buried in her arms, trembling and crying into a ball.

Fortunately, she was able to calmly persuade him just now.

He walked over carefully and stood in front of her but didn't know what to say.After a moment of silence, he sat down beside her.

The movement next to her made Sydney stagnate.

Looking up, she hurriedly wiped her tears, and then wanted to hide to the side, but there was a small square table with tea in the way.

He just didn't know what she was nervous about, looked at the top of the hall and laughed, "Cry, it's really comfortable to cry."

Huh?Did he cry? !

Sydney looked at him in astonishment through tears.

He sat in a casual posture, with one leg stretched out and the other half curled up. He could no longer see what was on his mind, let alone any trace of crying.

Xie Zhao looked back and took a look at her: "Are you scared by blood?"

Xue Li shook her head, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but cried even harder: "This servant also likes Lord Lu very much..."

Xie Zhao was taken aback.He didn't know that they had met before, and after hearing her words, he realized that she was really sad, not scared.

"The potato at the palace banquet two days ago...is what Mr. Lu told the servant how to do." The more Xue Li said, the more uncomfortable she became.Two days ago, he was still tasting her dishes.He was full of praise for every plate of potatoes she made, and after tasting them, he told her that they were not cooked well, and Wei Chen was so angry that he swung his scabbard to beat him.

"I would have let him have a good time if I knew it earlier!" Xue Li cried so hard that the palace servants outside came in to check.His eyes must have noticed that the emperor was also sitting with her on the ground, and he was even more shocked, and hid without daring to take a second look.

Xie Zhao listened to her cry and kept looking at the top of the hall.But after a while, she still didn't stop.

"Come." He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, but at the same time he didn't know how to coax her.He really has no experience in this kind of thing, no one has ever cried so fiercely in front of him, even when she was bullied and cried by Wang Wanzhi last time, she stopped as soon as she saw him.

So Xie Zhao was at a loss, and he choked out a sentence: "Don't cry and hurt yourself."

"...No." Xue Li murmured, and then fell silent again.Although they are hugging each other, they are all very stiff.

After being frozen for a while, he said again: "Don't go to the hotel."

ah?Xue Li looked up in a daze: "Why?"

Xie Zhao weighed his strengths, pondered for a while, and gave her a general idea: "In the case of Lu Yong, we originally suspected that the Luowu envoys were in collusion with the aristocratic family."

so complicated.

Sydney thought about it: "Is there really a collusion?"

The emperor shook his head: "I don't know yet."

"Oh..." Xueli lowered her head and thought about it, and probably understood that it was because Lu Yong died, and she was afraid that something would happen if she went.Thinking about it in a muffled voice, she looked at his expression again, turned her sitting position into a kneeling one, and faced him, "Your Majesty, let the slaves go!"

Xie Zhao frowned.

"Your Majesty, isn't the envoys here for peace? Will there be troubles in the hotel?" She asked earnestly, "For example, if the two countries go to war...will the envoys sent directly cause trouble?"

"That's not true." Xie Zhao smiled, and couldn't help wiping the tears on her face, "I'm afraid that they will be disrespectful and intentionally make things difficult for you in small matters. I can't say anything."

Demonstration is to let others see that "we didn't intend to respect you more", and it is inappropriate for you to criticize.

For example, if the envoys complained that the food was not suitable for their mouths, even if he, the emperor, was unhappy to hear it, why not?If you really say it, you seem narrow-minded. If you can't say it, it means that the people at the bottom suffer from being dumb.

"It doesn't matter." Sydney sincerely said every word.She moved forward a bit, and continued, "Your Majesty, if they want to make things difficult, others will suffer bad luck if the servant does not go, right? At least the servant is still the royal servant appointed by His Majesty, maybe the matter will be lighter when it comes to the servant. ?”

He could hear her trying to persuade him, but every sentence turned into a question without confidence.With a low smile in his heart, Xie Zhao said: "Let's forget it. Others will bear it, you Shuili..."

"It's Sydney!" Xue Li blurted out and corrected.

He shook his head: "No, it's Shuili. If you have something to cry, you can see that there is a lot of water. No one will coax you when you cry when you are wronged in the hotel. You should stay in the palace honestly."

After he said that, he stood up and stood up - an emperor ran to sit on the ground, and he didn't react in his head just now.

He walked out with every step, and left her a sentence "That's it", when Xue Li heard it, she immediately got up and chased him out: "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!" She chased after the long steps, saw him stop on the long steps to look at the scenery, and just continued, "Slaves don't cry so much. These few times...we cry only when we are really wronged or sad. Yes! This time, His Majesty has told the servants what is going on, and the servants know what is going on, so they will treat them as opponents! It is strange that the opponents don’t show their faces!"

She is already seriously enlightening herself? !
Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, it was the first time he saw such a firm expression in her eyes.

She raised her head without avoiding his gaze, hoping that his nodding would not be more obvious.He remembered that when he mentioned her in the small courtyard a long time ago, she figured out the whole story and wrote it to him, and she also looked up and stared at him intently. That day, he thought she looked like a winter bird running to the lake. The little goose begging for food...

Then today is the little goose who is determined to leave the food in his hand!

With a short smile, he lifted her up and put her on the side railing before she could flop around.

"..." The handrails around the platform in front of the hall are not narrow, but when you look down, you can see the ground far away. It must be very painful to fall, and Xueli dare not move at once.

"It's sinking a lot, continue to eat hard." He said solemnly.After a pause, he bent down a little, put one hand on her side and looked at her, "Is it just so that others will not be troubled by the envoys?"

he asked her.I always feel that the emotion in her eyes is not just for "giving kindness".

Xue Li really shook her head: "No!"

"That is?"

"If the envoys have nothing on their minds, it doesn't matter if the servants go, just do things as usual; if they really dare to make things difficult, the servants will make them speechless and make no mistakes!" She straightened her back, "Absolutely Don't lose Daqi's face! Master Lu is watching!"

God knows how Xie Zhao, a passionate emperor, feels when he sees a teenage girl yelling at him, "Never lose face of Daqi".

It's actually a bit of a common enemy... a sense of tragedy?

He was stunned for a long time before coughing lightly to relieve his nerves, standing up straight and looking at her again: "Okay, then you go, I originally wanted you to do these things."

This is why she was given the title of "Imperial Catering Lady".It was only because of Lu Yong's incident that he wanted to push her back.

"Slaves will do it well!" Xueli's face was tense, and a sense of arrogance from a great country suddenly appeared in her heart, "They don't peel the potatoes! How dare you find fault with the imperial dining room?!"

"Puchi..." The emperor suddenly laughed.Just now she was still full of seriousness, but let her run away with a word.
