Ability Shuttle: Don't mess with the black boss

Chapter 29 Qiankun Jade Cup (17)

When I woke up, I was lying in a completely strange room.

There is a gauze curtain beside the large bed, and incense burns in the incense burner.I rubbed my temples, got up and got out of bed and opened the curtain with my hands. After walking a few steps, I found that the place I was in was an extremely luxurious bedroom.

Carved jade pillars stand at the four corners of the palace, inlaid with countless pearls and emeralds, emitting a bright light.There are many antique treasures in the room, especially the huge luminous pearl on the desk is particularly dazzling.

I figured it could be used to light up a room late at night without having to turn on a lamp.

There was a sudden soreness in the back of the neck, I stretched out my hand and pressed it, remembering what happened before I passed out.

At that time, Shen Yuan just had the consciousness to wake up, and I was knocked unconscious by the attendants sent by Li Rui and took me away.

As soon as I thought of this, I walked quickly to the door and pushed the door open with both hands.Before I stepped over the threshold, I saw the two servant girls waiting outside the door kneeling in front of me, and said respectfully: "Your maidservant pays respects to the empress, best wishes to you, empress."

I was so confused that I didn't have time to deal with it.When I was about to bypass them and go outside, one of the servant girls suddenly hugged my leg and said in horror: "Without the emperor's order, the servants dare not let the lady out of the palace. Please don't embarrass the servants."

I yelled: "Get out of the way!" Then I went to break her hand holding my leg, but she refused to let go at all.The other servant girl then knelt down and knocked her head on the ground, sobbing, "My lord, please spare my life. My lady, please spare my life."

Seeing that it was impossible to break out by force, I had no choice but to straighten up, turn around and go back to the room, and said to them: "Go and tell your emperor, I want to see him."

After the maids passed on my request, within a quarter of an hour, Li Rui really came to see me.

I saw that he was not what he used to be at that time. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, embroidered with complicated and delicate patterns with gold thread, and wearing a hair crown in the shape of a white jade chilong on his head. kingly spirit.

Behind him followed three or five inner eunuchs, and together with the servants in the entire dormitory, they all knelt on the ground.

Li Rui stood in front of the bedroom door, raised his hand towards them, and said flatly, "Excuse me."

Then he entered the room, looked at me with a half-smile in his eyes and said: "The Queen hastily called me here, why?"

I looked at him in front of me. He had just gone through a thrilling battle for the throne, and his hands were covered with the blood of countless people, which made me feel a lot stranger in an instant.

I met his gaze, gritted my teeth and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to imprison me in the palace just like this?"

Unexpectedly, he nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "If this is the only way to keep the queen by my side, I am willing to give it a try."

I stood up from the chair abruptly, and asked him angrily: "Could it be that you think keeping me by your side will keep you safe for the rest of your life. Li Rui, to tell you the truth, about your history, I know nothing but Wang Bangyan Nothing else is known about the mutiny."

He walked up to me with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "In your eyes, is it possible that I am such an unbearable person who would take advantage of one of you just to protect myself?"

I snorted coldly: "If not, please let me go because I helped you ascend the throne."

My emotions were extremely agitated at this time, and even the scent of concentration in the bedroom could not calm me down.I stood beside him, waiting for his answer.But I didn't expect him to be silent for a while, then suddenly took my hand, pulled me into his arms, and locked me tightly with both hands.

I struggled to break free in his arms, but he held me tighter.I heard him approaching my ear, and said in a harsh voice: "Why don't you want to stay by my side? If it's only because of that guard named Shen Yuan, then I can make him disappear from the world right now."

I was startled, looked up at him, grabbed his collar and asked eagerly, "What happened to him?"

His eyes dimmed, and he murmured: "That's really the case." Then he said: "As long as you stay by my side, he won't be harmed in the slightest."

As soon as I let go of him, I let go of him and took a step back.

He is no longer the Li Rui I knew at the beginning, and even the slightest sympathy I have for him is gone now.I lowered my head, thought for a while and said, "I promise you. But before that, you have to take me to see him for the last time. From then on, I will stay by your side with peace of mind."

There was some surprise and disbelief in his voice, he raised his voice and asked me: "Is this true?"

I raised my head and smiled at him: "Now you are the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the master of power in the world, no one dares to oppose you. As long as you promise me not to hurt him, I will promise you to stay."

He thought about it for a while, and seemed to think that what I said was reasonable, he is now the emperor aloof, and no one in the world can escape from his grasp.

He said: "I promise you. After three days, I will bring him to see you."

I know that the longer it drags on, the more things change and the more impromptu situations that need to be dealt with.So he made a firm request to Li Rui, "I want to see him now."

He frowned, and after thinking about it for a while, he called Hou Zai's inner supervisor outside the door and said: "Order someone to bring Shen Yuan to see me."

The inner supervisor said loudly: "Observe the order."

I sat back on the chair again, stroked my heart with my hand, and reconfirmed that the anesthesia gun was really still on me.

In front of the general's mansion that day, after Shen Yuan was injured, he handed over the anesthesia gun to me for safekeeping. I have been taking care of him for the past few days without taking off my clothes, so the anesthesia gun has been kept in my arms.When Li Rui hugged me just now, I felt something clucking in my arms, and immediately remembered that the anesthesia gun was still with me.

This is simply God help me too.As long as I have this anesthesia gun, after I see Shen Yuan later, I will be more sure of him successfully escaping from the palace.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but pull a smile from the corner of my mouth.

Li Rui caught this detail, narrowed his eyes and asked me suspiciously: "What are you laughing at?"

I froze for a moment, afraid that he would see something.So he simply put on a brighter smile and pretended to say to him: "I'm thinking that the long years to come will be spent in this high wall, and it will be so lively with the emperor's many concubines."

He came over suddenly, put my head in his arms, and said lightly: "I said before, I will only marry you in this life. If you don't like this high wall, I will order someone to tear it down; If you like gardens and courtyards, I will build you a unique one; if you don’t like staying in the palace, I will accompany you to play around..."

I laughed out loud and asked him: "If that's the case, wouldn't your throne be taken for nothing?"

He didn't take it seriously, and replied softly: "For me, the throne is nothing more than giving me enough ability to protect the people I want to protect."
