Chapter 13: Demons and Demons (2)
Su Xue was stunned for a moment, but her face was not strange. She stood quietly by, as if Li Luo's words had nothing to do with him.
Li Zhong was secretly surprised. This son's mind was already so great.
Li Zhong gritted his teeth, as if he had made great determination, and said in a low voice: "Luoer came back from picking tea that day and was caught by a court official who was invited by the prince. This person liked lust and asked the prince for Luoer to accompany him. The prince happened to ask for Luoer to accompany him, but Luoer had no choice but to respond. However, Luoer was careless and broke the rules in the mansion, so he was punished by the villain. Please forgive him."
"Who is this person?"
"General Chang Lin and Chang."
"Chang Lin, deputy envoy of the Western Expedition? General Di Jie?"
"It's this person." Li Zhong was slightly shocked. Unexpectedly, Li Luo knew it and continued, "Luo'er was reckless and damaged the face rules of the royal palace, which made General Chang dislike. The prince was also quite angry. The villain could not do so, so he had to blame Luo Er heavily. Because of the villain, if the little prince was guilty, the villain would be willing to bear it with all his strength."
"Rules?" Li Luo smiled miserably, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Although I have never seen the filthy things about Zhuocheng Prince's Mansion, I also know that the collision is already a collision. What else can I do? A deputy envoy of the Western Expedition dares to be careless about the maid of the Prince's Mansion?"
"The little prince is gentle. General Chang is in charge of nearly 30% of the troops in the Great Gansu Expedition. Di Jie, the envoy of the West, has always had disagreements with the prince. The prince is also for the peace of the court."
"The peace of the court? I'm afraid it's the power of the royal palace. Does the dignified prince's mansion rely on women to do such things to win over cliques? What's the use of such power?" Li Luo was angry and unsheathed the sword. He slashed the Xingsu sword into the wooden pillar with a few inches of depth. "Tell me truthfully, what else is there?"
Li Zhong was in a heart of cold. Seeing that he could not hide it from Li Luo, he had to say, "General Chang used his might to clean Luo'er's innocence."
Li Luo's eyes turned black, and his blood surged, and he almost fell to the ground. Su Xue hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Li Luo shook Su Xue away and said sternly: "It's okay to insult Luo'er, what else do you want to do?"
"Miss Luo'er is stubborn. The prince scolded him a few times, but his innocence is damaged and he can no longer stay with the little prince. The villain makes a decision without authorization and sends Luo'er back to Luozhou, and he will never enter Zhuocheng again in his life."
"Okay, what a Prince Chun's mansion. Could it be that Butler Li has the kindness to let Luo'er go back to Luozhou alive and let her talk about the filth and filth in the palace?"
Li Zhong smiled bitterly, without defending her, and said with shame: "The villain once ordered someone to follow Luo'er out of the city and ambush her in secret."
Li Luo got angry from his heart, pulled out the Star Sword, and shouted wildly: "No, I must let Luoer out of this anger."
"Little Prince, no." Su Xue hurriedly stopped Li Luo.
"Get out of the way." Li Luo scolded.
Su Xue also stopped Li Luo as stubbornly as Luoer, and said hurriedly: "Luoer has passed away. How should the young master seek justice for her? Should he go to the prince to judge or to the deputy envoy of the Western Expedition? What if the young master goes? All the lives of us maids are worthless."
"Do you let it go?" Li Luo shouted angrily.
"Don't let it go." Su Xue cuts the railway line. "The young master is so rash, not only will Miss Luo'er die without a burial place, but he is afraid that Luo'er's family will not be spared. Young master, now that things have come to this point, it is better to find a way to keep Luo'er's parents, and Miss Luo'er can rest in peace even in the dark."
Li Zhong looked at Su Xue, and his eyes flashed and he whispered: "Little Prince, Miss Su Xue's words are reasonable. Besides, the prince did not order Luo'er to be executed. It was the villain who made a mistake. If the little prince wants to vent his anger, he will kill the villain. The villain will never escape."
Li Luo looked at Su Xue, and Su Xue also looked at Li Luo. This was a strange look. Li Luo's thoughts were suddenly attracted by this look. It seemed a bit envious, but it was very sad, and it seemed to be a little unwilling. When Li Luo came to his senses, he found that he was a little calmer.
Li Luo was confused and drooped his hand holding the Star Sword weakly, muttering to himself: "I'm still a useless person after all."
"The young master is young and cannot do some things now, but the young master is doing some things. The young master thinks of Luo'er. If he pleads with the prince and the lady for Luo'er's family, the prince and the lady will probably respond."
Li Luo felt a huge rock pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe. After a while, he vomited a turbid breath. When he turned around, he looked like Li Zhong was at slaughter and sighed sadly: "Butler Li, I don't blame you. If someone else was the same, Luo'er was in the palace and could not escape this disaster. He just hated that I had harmed her."
"No matter what the little prince is doing."
Li Luo glanced at Li Zhong, slowly lowered his head, and said tiredly: "If Luoer was not my personal maid, but just an ordinary maid, he would probably not have lost his life."
Li Zhong and Su Xue were silent, not knowing how to persuade each other, as Li Luo said, if Luo'er was not in Qingxin Tower, she would have been able to survive if she didn't want to die.
"How could Luoer be related to these assassins?"
"The villain is investigating. The killer sent out has not received any reward for many days. The villain speculated that there might be a change. After Luoer left Zhuocheng, he lost all news. The villain sent several spies out of the city but found no clues. Now he thought he must have been intercepted by the assassin."
"Why do you have to leave the city..." Before Li Luo finished speaking, he laughed at himself, "There are so many people in the mansion, so he wants to avoid me."
Li Zhong was speechless. Li Luo looked at Li Zhong, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, reached out to hold Li Zhong's arm, and said slowly: "Mr. Li, I offended so much just now, please don't blame me for being young and ignorant."
Li Zhong was flattered and was about to speak, but Li Luo said, "I am a little sensible, but Luoer is around me. They say that the marquis's family is as deep as the sea, and this royal palace is probably deeper. Apart from my parents and elders, I am only one who can say a few words."
Li Zhong's eyes heated up and he whispered: "The little prince is kind and compassionate, and it is a blessing for us servants."
Li Luoxiao smiled and said softly: "Luoer has always been with me. If you are heartless and righteous, it is just a self-deception. I know this and it will not make it difficult for President Li to do. You go."
"this?"
"I just pretend that what happened today has never happened. Whether you say you have to do with my father or not, I won't blame you." Li Luo said lightly.
"Thank you for your compassion, the villain will leave." Li Zhongru received a general amnesty and bowed respectfully, and left Qingxin Tower like a snowy fire.
Su Xue looked at Li Luo in a daze, as if she had only really understood Li Luo today. Su Xue's calmness surprised Li Luo a little, as if it was a snow lotus, with a kind of arrogance that she didn't want others to see.
After a while, Li Luo let out a sigh and said, "Suxue, help me make a cup of tea."
"Yes." Su Xue responded, and then heard Li Luo say softly: "The tea that Luoer picked for me."
Su Xue nodded and gently retreated out of the house. Li Luo looked at the long sword in his hand. This star sword was still at the age of seven when Li Luo was seven years old. Emperor Wanlong ordered the princes to write poems, and Li Luo also had to make a poem: Leaping from horses to find each other, and looking down from the long building, sunset sunset.
A sword will be given to you during the friendship period, and you will be given a thousand gold if you leave.
The singing voices are far away in the shelf, and the willows are dark in the door.
You must drink all the time at night, and don’t let your heart down for a hundred years.
This last sentence is mostly in line with Emperor Chengde's wishes. In his joy, Emperor Wanlong gave Li Luo a constellation, one of the seven most famous swords of the Great Gan Dynasty, to Li Luo, and also rewarded Prince Chun for helping him ascend the throne. Emperor Chengde told Li Luo to take charge of the stars in the world on behalf of the heavens and protect the Li family's Great Gan Dynasty, and not to let this sword be defeated.
Now holding this sword, the sword is like ice and the blade is like autumn frost, reflecting Li Luo's blurred shadow, as if there is a thick layer of frost in the corner of the eyebrows.
With a tingling sound, a tear fell on the sword, smashing it to pieces.
Dai Tian was in charge of the star constellation, but he didn't expect that the first person who died under the sword would be Luoer. Li Luo remembered the tenderness and enthusiasm he was when he took the sword, and stroked the ominous sword for a long time without a sound.
It was drizzling at night.
A few cold winds scattered flowers and leaves all over the ground.
Li Luo sat in front of the window, watching the flowers falling with the wind, and rolling on the ground with the wind. Su Xue warmed the tea and looked up at Li Luo from time to time. It was very quiet, and only the sound of rain hitting the roof. Su Xue looked at Li Luo, and suddenly felt a sense of unbearability. Su Xue brought a cup of tea to Li Luo and said, "Young Master, have a cup of tea."
Li Luo took the teacup, smiled, and said nothing. In a trance, Luoer seemed to be back to him.
Su Xuecha said, "Today I scared Butler Li. He is very grand on weekdays. I didn't expect that he would not dare to show up in front of the young master."
Li Luo smiled faintly and said, "Is that true?"
"Yes, it turns out that the young master is so scary when he gets angry."
Li Luo smiled miserably. I am afraid that this is the first time I got angry like this since I was a child. Su Xue saw that Li Luo's sadness had not diminished, so she sighed inwardly and said with a slight : "Young Master, are you annoyed me?"
"No, you risked your death and looked for me in the front yard, how could I annoy you?"
"If it were Luoer, she would be like this."
"Maybe, it's night, you can rest soon."
"Well, but..." Su Xue said worriedly, "Your Majesty, you must know that the young master is asking him for a question. What should I do if I ask?"
"No, even if my father knows, he will not come to ask me."
Su Xue exclaimed in surprise, not understanding the meaning, Li Luo didn't explain and took a sip of tea. It was probably a sleepless night tonight.
"Will Housekeeper Li tell the prince?"
"Yes, he is loyal to my father. I believe my father already knows that Li Zhong is brave and resourceful. His words are half true and half false today. Although he looks frightened, he is just pretending. Someone can ask for a comment in the future."
"Then why did he say it?"
"Because," Li Luo paused, looking outside the house, the falling flowers and leaves appeared and disappeared. The wind was a little weaker, but the night became deeper. Li Luo's leisurely and plain voice came from Su Xue's ears, "If I didn't say it, I would kill him."
A cold wind blew, and Suxue shivered. The figure in the candlelight seemed to suddenly sink into the boundless darkness outside the house, close to each other, far away from the world.
