Ability Shuttle: Don't mess with the black boss

Chapter 25 Qiankun Jade Cup (13)

Under the leadership of the inner eunuch, Li Rui and I walked out of the Spirit Hall, passed through many palaces, and finally came to the main hall to meet the emperor.

Before I came to Xifeng Dynasty, I never thought that I would meet the emperor of that dynasty.When I met the emperor, I realized that Li Rui actually looked more similar to him.It's just that he is over half a hundred years old, although the clothes and food are well maintained, but after all, he is no match for the aging of the years.

Together with Li Rui, I knelt at the emperor's feet when we entered the door and said, "I send my respects to the emperor."

He coughed twice, and raised his hand to avoid the salute.Then he frowned, looked at Li Rui sharply, and asked, "Didn't I specially approve you not to come to see me?"

I got up and stood next to Li Rui, feeling agitated in my heart.Thinking of what happened just now, I was very worried that Li Rui would be impulsive and commit the wrath of the emperor.

Just now, I knelt in front of the coffin of Concubine Yin in the Lingdian.Nanny Hu rushed in suddenly and fell at Li Rui's feet.She didn't know how long she had been crying, her eyes were terribly swollen.After kowtowing heavily on the ground a few times, he said in a hoarse voice: "Prince Rui, this old servant is waiting for you to come. This old servant is not reconciled to the empress, the empress... She was secretly bestowed to death by the emperor."

I was surprised to see that there were no other people in the hall of spirits except the three of us.It was only then that he regained his composure, walked up to Madam Hu, and helped her up.

Li Rui flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly at her, and said angrily, "Bold! Don't talk nonsense!"

Hu Nanny pushed me away, and said hoarsely: "The world can learn from it. The old slave has served the empress for dozens of years, and now the empress will leave the old slave first, and the old slave will definitely not live alone."

As he spoke, he slammed his head against the coffin, and the whole person fell to the ground, with blood protruding from his forehead.I hurried over to sniff her breath, but I was at a loss.

Li Rui glanced at her and said to me lightly, "Let's go."

I didn't know where he was going, but under the circumstances, I really didn't dare to ask more.So I followed him and saw what he said to the inner eunuch Hou Zai outside after he left the spirit hall. After the inner eunuch reported, he brought us to the main hall.

In the main hall, facing the emperor's questioning.Li Rui's voice sounded, and he said respectfully: "My son is a son, and if I failed to serve Er Niang wholeheartedly before her death, it would be considered unfilial. If you enter the palace today as a minister, if you don't pay homage to the emperor in person, it will be considered disloyal. You can't be such an unfaithful and unfilial person."

I was startled, and saw the emperor's eagle-like eyes scanning towards us.He lowered his head at the moment, not understanding why Li Rui came here to say these things.

The emperor sternly said, "You really think so?"

After a while, Li Rui knelt down again.I don't know why, so I can only kneel down.Suddenly saw him kowtowed on the ground, his voice was choked up and he said: "I have no chance to be with the emperor forever, to serve the left and right sides. I hope the emperor will take good care of the dragon's body from now on."

I don't know which song Li Rui sang, but it seems to be very useful to the emperor.

After a long time, the old emperor got up and sighed, then exited the main hall.Before leaving, he said: "I know. Kneel down."

After some visits, it was nightfall.The inner eunuch escorted us into the carriage, walked out of the Wanren palace wall, and went to a royal mansion not far from the palace to rest temporarily.

On the carriage, Li Rui propped his forehead to the side and closed his eyes to rest.

After deliberating for a long time, I asked in a low voice, "Do you believe what Nanny Hu said?"

His eyes snapped open, and a hair-raising smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.I heard him sneer and ask me back: "In this world, who else can I trust?"

I stared at him blankly, knowing that history was unfolding bit by bit.

This day is the end of the third month of my arrival at Xifeng Dynasty. I don't know everything about what will happen next, the only thing I know is that he must die.

Suddenly thought of Shen Yuan.On this night when I missed him so much, I don't know if he has already taken the Qiankun jade cup, and after deciding that I am greedy for the present glory and wealth, he returned to the Qing Dynasty alone.

Concubine Yin's funeral was settled, and she was finally buried in the imperial tomb.

Li Rui no longer had any reason to stay in the capital, so he followed the emperor's order and set off to return to Huxia County.The emperor specially sent a hundred more imperial guards as guards, and the journey went smoothly and was quite thoughtful.

But I didn't expect that two days later, when we first arrived in Ningta County, we were attacked.

About [-] men in black rushed down from the hillside at some point. They were superb in martial arts, and they killed the hundred guards in a short time.

In an instant, corpses were scattered all over the field, and screams continued one after another.

Sitting in the carriage, I heard the ear-piercing sounds of swords and guns fighting outside, and I couldn't help shivering.Li Rui didn't change his expression, he just shook my hand to calm down my emotions.

A quarter of an hour later, I saw the curtain of the carriage being raised by someone. The person who came was dressed in black. Seeing Li Rui, he said respectfully, "My subordinates are attending, Lord Rui."

I was taken aback, Li Rui covered my eyes, and carried me out of the carriage.

I heard everyone's loud voices saying in unison: "My subordinates join the Lord Rui."

In a panic, I stretched out my hand to break his big hand that covered my eyes.But he refused to let go, I heard him close to my ear, and said softly: "Don't look, the ground is full of blood."

I was so shocked by his words that I didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

Along the way, he hugged me and walked towards nowhere. It took me a long time to come back to my senses and connect the cause and effect.In the end, he murmured: "You still believe Hu Nanny's words?"

He didn't answer me.

I couldn't see his expression, thought for a while and asked again: "Then why did you go to see the emperor and say those things?"

He finally talked to me this time, and said disapprovingly: "Why do you think he gave my mother to death, and why did he call me into the palace?"

Hearing what he said, I felt indescribably uncomfortable. The emperor bestowed the death concubine concubine Yin to call Li Rui into the palace and kill him to avoid future troubles. If he hadn't gone to see the emperor in time, maybe we would have no chance at this moment Out of the palace alive.

Li Rui was trying his best to make a bet that the emperor had not lost his conscience.Fortunately, the last thing he thought about was blood relationship, he couldn't bear to kill his own flesh and blood after all.

I said cautiously: "So after hearing what you said, the emperor finally relented and let us go."

Suddenly, a rough male voice interrupted me and said: "The princess is really kind. If the emperor is really soft-hearted, why did he send a hundred imperial guards to escort him? The ministers intercepted the secret report, and after passing this Ningta County, they will issue an order to kill the prince." .”

My heart was beating fast.From this point of view, Li Rui was extremely intelligent, and the bet was that the emperor couldn't bear to kill him in the palace!
Probably already some distance away from the place just now, Li Rui let go of his hand covering my eyes.

I saw that he was accompanied by a man in armor who looked like a general, so I asked him, "Were you talking just now?"

He smiled naively and saluted me: "My subordinate Wang Bangyan has seen the princess."
