Today, Li Wanrou is very happy to make Zhao's mother and son and Li Shifu displeased. The more painful and uncomfortable they are, the more comfortable and refreshed she is!
"Li Shifu...Zhao, the enemy of my previous life, in this life I will come to collect debts..."
Li Wanrou's delicate face seemed to be covered with a layer of cold frost, making her look like an evil spirit from the underworld.
suddenly.
A black figure appeared behind the tents in the boudoir, but Li Wanrou did not panic, but sighed faintly.
Is this guy really the prince?
Every time I choose to go out when the night is dark and the wind is high, and every time I choose to visit her when she is in the shower, isn't it true that she is deliberately taking advantage of her?
Thinking of this, Li Wanrou looked down at herself.
"I still have some capital..."
Li Wanrou puts on her clothes calmly, and she feels it doesn't matter if she sees too much.
"You and Nangong Rongji are really a virtue."
At the back, Nangong Chengde saw Li Wanrou getting up and putting on her clothes, and then she opened the drapery and came out. She was dressed in a black brocade robe with a golden dragon tattooed on the neckline, and his heroic face looked fascinating.
"I can be stared at by my ten younger brothers day and night. I have to pick this time when I want to find you. Listening to your tone, it seems that I don't want to see my second brother. You haven't seen it before, right?"
Nangong Chengde found someone who could detoxify herself. His words were no longer as cold as before, but his casual question made Li Wanrou feel tight.
But Li Wanrou didn't have any sense of being at a loss for the answer: "In the emperor's home, where can there be simple characters, the second prince has been active in recent years, and the news from the outside knows that he is not a good thing."
Moreover, the keen-minded Li Wanrou also heard other things from Nangong Chengde's words, and asked, "Ten brothers? The Eleventh Prince is still young, so how can he contend with you?"
Nangong Chengde sneered, and then returned Li Wanrou's words to her: "In the emperor's house, where are there simple characters. Although my eleven brother is young, it is not simple. The one standing behind her is currently favored. Concubine Xiang."
Nangong Chengde's words suddenly changed, and he laughed loudly: "But my second brother is really not a good thing, but I am a good person."
Li Wanrou really couldn't stand the prince, and turned around.
"It's really shameless."
Li Wanrou took out the silver needle from the cabinet and signaled Nangong Chengde to lie down and treat him. Nangong Chengde did not feel shy at all. She lay openly on Li Wanrou's bed and complained that the bed was too small.
Li Wanrou gave him a white look, really wanting to seal his mouth with a silver needle in her hand.
"You have been poisoned for so long, haven't you ever noticed it?" Li Wanrou asked when she performed her delicate medical skills. Nangong Chengde was so smart, but she still wrote. It seems that the water in the palace is also very deep, but since this life He is his ally, so he can't let him repeat the same mistakes in his previous life.
"Perceived, of course I was aware of it, but what can I do? Of course they can't break through my impregnable palace, but how can all those dark arrows be prevented? I am the lord of the East Palace. How many people are staring at my position? Not just mine. Brother, above the court, in the harem, how many people want to overthrow me?" Nangong Chengde sneered, and there was anger and anger that couldn't be concealed in his words. It seems that he also has a deep resentment towards those people.
"But your play is very well performed, much better than those on the stage." Li Wanrou couldn't help laughing when she remembered how he looked in front of the capital's rich and powerful that day. With a sickly appearance, if anyone really believes and provokes him, he will definitely be eaten by him without bones.
"Heh, don't pretend it, some people still dare not move me. The number of guests coming to my east palace in the past few days is more and more, just to provide nutrients for my garden."
Nangong Chengde said softly, but Li Wanrou could imagine how much blood would bleed in the East Palace every night, how many wailings would be heard, the light of the knife flashed, and the dust settled.
It's like purgatory on earth.
But am I not the avenger from purgatory?
Li Wanrou looked at the fatal scar on Nangong Chengde's chest, and pondered a little: "Don't die in someone else's hands."
Nangong Chengde leaped up when he heard the words, and Li Wanrou's chin was hooked up with his thick and powerful right hand, her jet-black eyes stared at Li Wanrou's face, and she smiled evilly.
"Say, do you like this prince?"
Li Wanrou rolled her eyes, and pierced the silver needle fiercely in her hand.
"Shut your mouth, and get out of it if you are cured!"
In addition to coming to heal the wounds, Nangong Chengde also brought a news that he will host a banquet in the East Palace in a month to entertain princes from all walks of life and the powerful young masters and young ladies in the capital. This is also his signal to everyone.
The high-spirited prince is back.
On the way back, blood and rain are bound to follow.
Li Wanrou could not manage the struggle for court power for the time being. Even if the battle for the conquest of the concubine began, according to the memory of the previous life, there would still be two years left, two years, enough for her to do a lot of things.
The next day.
Lotus wakes Li Wanrou from her sleep early in the morning.
"Miss, Miss Cai has sent her maid over here and invites you to go to the general's mansion tomorrow, saying it is Miss An Ruyi's birthday."
Li Wanrou didn't have the slightest surprise in her heart. Li Shifu had been holding back for so long, and she couldn't help but want to make a move to herself. How could she not let her get what she wanted?
"I see, you said in reply, saying that I will be going to a banquet with my sister on time tomorrow."
There was a trace of worry on Furong's face, and she said worriedly: "Although it is common for Miss Jingcheng to hold banquets, the eldest lady has never invited you to participate once before. This time...Is this time it is not good for Miss?"
Seeing that Furong's little face was full of worries about herself, Li Wanrou couldn't help but laughed. In her heart, she felt that this little maid was really cute, and she touched her forehead with her hand.
"Furong, don't worry. I am no longer the Li Wanrou I used to be. I have my own way to deal with it. Don't worry about me."
"I believe in Miss!" Although Furong couldn't understand the young lady in front of her more and more, she knew that she was no longer as vulnerable as before.
And in the courtyard on the other side of Xiangfu, Li Shifu sullenly, lying in the arms of the Zhao family, said word by word: "This time I will ruin that sword! I was born with a fox face, which led to the prince. , And also bewitched the old lady, so that the mother's position in Xiangfu was shaken. It is really a natural fit to die."
Li Shifu gave birth to a good face, with a lot of hibiscus in the water, and the voice was so nice, like a oriole in the forest, but what he said was such vicious and vicious words.
Zhao's face is slightly pale and gloomy. It seems that the shock of the previous few days has not been relieved. She whispered: "Heh, Li Wanrou is just a small character, if it weren't for the old lady and your father. My mother had already expelled her from the mansion. She and her mother had the same virtue and a short-lived ghost. What I am most worried about is that Qing Ruyu will take this opportunity to stand firm in the Xiangfu this time, and will threaten our mothers in the future. status!"
Li Shifu raised his head to look at his mother's face, and asked, "Er Niang? Does Er Niang still have the courage to compete with her mother? Over the years, she swallowed her breath and was so suppressed by her mother that she didn't dare to make any moves, so she had to look at us everywhere. His wink is a complete irritation."
Zhao's face became solemn when he heard the words, and shook his head and rejected his daughter's statement: "Shifu, you are wrong, and your second mother is the most afraid of the mother in this mansion."
Regardless of the shock expressed by his daughter, Zhao continued: "It is not so much that your second mother dared to speak, it is better to say that she understands words. Although she hasn't moved anything in the Xiangfu for more than ten years, she has done nothing. My mother couldn't find a reason even if she wanted to trouble her."
"It is not so much that Qing Ruyu swallows her anger, it is better to say that she is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to rise, once she has a chance, she will definitely attack me. She is not like Qin Huanyan, Qin Huanyan is rough and easy to be caught. Start, but she has no flaws!"
Li Shifu was shocked after listening to his mother's words. The Erniang, who has always been looked down upon by her and always treated with a gentle smile, actually has such a city.
"By the way, mother, what happened to Qin Huanyan? I heard that the old man in the palace said that she died of illness not long after giving birth to the little swordman Li Wanrou, but the mother Wang quietly told me that the matter seemed to be different a few days ago. This is not the case. After Qin Huanyan died, the old lady was furious, and even dismissed nearly half of her family. Dad also seemed to..."
"Hmph, as a servant, Mother Wang actually discussed the matter of the master. Tomorrow she will be punished by herself!"
Zhao suddenly changed his face and shocked Li Shifu in her arms. It was the first time she saw her mother so angry, and suddenly she had a bold guess in her heart...
As for the focus of their discussion, the Qing family is now slowly trimming the flowers and plants in their yard, as if nothing has happened, but the Nuan Yu's face beside him has an uncontrollable smile.
"Mother, it's great. The Zhao family has been in charge of Xiangfu for so many years. Finally, it is the mother's turn to play. Humph, the Zhao family didn't mess with our mother and son on weekdays. Look at her expression on that day. It's so fun."
Qing shook his head, put down the scissors in his hand, and said lightly; "Zhao has been in charge of the Xiangfu for many years, and we have not had a chance to bring her down. At least for now, the old lady is just asking me to assist her, the real power. It's still at Zhao's."
Nuanyu frowned, and said unwillingly: "Then we are better than Wanrou. She is alone, and she is very lonely."
After hearing the words, Qing did not speak, and stood there quietly thinking.
"This time things will never be that simple. I feel that the heavens of Xiangfu are about to change, Yu'er. You should be careful these days and don't usually go out. Mother's only wish is to protect you and make you safe and sound. It's a good relationship to find a door steadily. As for Wanrou, I'm afraid it's not that simple. She seems to be different from before."
