Her words were like thorns, which made Li Changqi very uncomfortable. As a young lady with little knowledge, it was natural for her to be compassionate when seeing such a scene, but because she was too ignorant, she could not
I understand the emperor's difficulties now, his difficulties! Even though she didn't mean to accuse, she seemed to say that they didn't have a good life and blamed them for not providing early relief!
The smile on Li Changqi's face completely disappeared, and his voice was slightly cold: "You shouldn't be asking these things!"
Gong Yueyue was shocked and quickly lowered her head, but her eyes flashed and the corners of her mouth raised with a hint of sarcasm.
"Yes, my little girl is rude, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Seeing her panicked look, Li Changqi felt a little better, and his voice couldn't help softening, "I don't mean to blame you, I'm just reminding you."
"Yes, I understand." Gong Yueyue nodded quickly, looked up at him cautiously, and confirmed that he was really not angry, before her expression softened slightly.
She looked like a frightened rabbit, which made Li Changqi feel very distressed. He blamed himself for being angry with her. Just when he wanted to comfort her, he heard Gong Yueyue ask again.
"When my daughter came, I heard my grandmother say something. The emperor has not allocated money for disaster relief. Is it because the treasury is empty?"
Li Changqi frowned for a moment, and the anger in his heart surged up again, "Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't ask these things?!"
Gong Yueyue quickly lowered her head, clasping her hands and shaking slightly, but with such a cowardly look, she still said with trembling: "My little girl just read a sentence in a book, the people are the most important thing and the country is important.
So I don’t understand, now that the people are in dire straits, why does the emperor have food and grass money for the army, but no relief money for the victims?”
"Who told you this?!" Li Changqi immediately became angry, slapped the table and stood up.
What is the difference between her words and questioning the emperor? Even if she is punished with beheading, it is not an exaggeration at all!
Gong Yueyue even shrank and stood up, but then raised her head and looked straight at him.
"My little girl understands what she is talking about, and she also understands that this is the voice of many people! Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are the Crown Prince and the future Emperor of our Liao Kingdom. Your Majesty does not know the situation outside, but Your Highness the Crown Prince knows it very well! Your Highness has also been
If you have been to the disaster areas in the west, you should know that there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster. Many people are already sick. If it is not controlled, it will never be possible to just watch the death of this rich Xiangyin County!"
"Presumptuous!" Li Changqi yelled, his hands shaking with anger, "Do you know what you are talking about?! Don't you believe that I can chop off your head right now!"
But the shrinking in Gong Yueyue's eyes became less and less, leaving only a touch of perseverance that was touching, and her voice became smoother, "Your Highness, there are always people to say these words. If it can make His Highness alert, compared with these, the little girl is nothing."
Life is insignificant! Xiangyin County and God are only a day's journey away, and they belong to the emperor. If you can't protect these people, what's the use of conquering a huge empire! Your Highness..."
"Snapped!"
The teacup flew over, causing her words to stop abruptly. The teacup was hit to pieces on the pillar behind her, and several fragments fell back, scratching her face. Gong Yueyue covered one side of her face, in disbelief and confusion.
He looked at Li Changqi disappointedly.
Li Changqi's hand trembled when she saw it, he clenched it into a fist and put it behind his back, and said angrily: "Don't say these words again, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!"
Gong Yueyue gritted her teeth slightly, "Your Highness, your loyal words are hard to hear!"
Looking at her, Li Changqi gasped twice. Through her eyes, he seemed to have returned to the dinner party four years ago. She pushed her little sister into the water, and with a quick glance, he
I saw such a pair of eyes, which seemed ruthless but had an unshakable power!
How could he forget that this woman has never been a kind-hearted person! She is just trying to embarrass him! Thinking about this, he seemed to be able to see some malice in her eyes, like a poisonous snake charging at him.
He spits out the letter!
He took two steps back, only to feel that her beautiful appearance had lost its color in an instant, losing its fatal attraction to him.
Li Changqi calmed down his mind, but did not look at Gong Yueyue. With a bit of hatred, he said, "Why don't you shut up! The affairs in the court naturally involve the courtiers and the father, and it doesn't concern you, a little person like you."
What's the matter, woman! Don't think that because you are the eldest lady of the Gong family, I don't dare to kill you. If you dare to say more, I will definitely chop off your head!"
His excessive reaction made Gong Yueyue a little strange, but looking at the disgust in his eyes, she felt that it didn't matter as long as the goal was achieved.
Four years ago, although Li Changqi was still innocent and harmless, he was not confident enough in his heart. Four years of power had turned him into a fierce and cowardly person! This kind of man likes to control women, and that sense of control can make him temporarily forget his inner feelings.
His low self-esteem gave him satisfaction that he could never get from anything else.
The same is true for her, but she is not a gorgeous piece of jewelry. Do you want her to be meek and courteous? She wants to let him know that even if she is good-looking, she is still a steel knife inlaid with gems. If she wants to control herself, she must be well behaved.
Prepare to get scratched!
Just by looking at his appearance, Gong Yueyue knew that the heat was almost over, and she would really get herself into trouble if she continued, so she quickly lowered her head. Although there was no shrinking as before, she could still tell that she was still very nervous.
"My dear daughter, my dear daughter was agitated for a moment. Please calm down, Your Highness!"
Although Li Changqi was furious, at this moment, Gong Yueyue had been recognized as a female Bodhisattva by those outside, not to mention that he really couldn't move the Gong family, so he had to endure his anger first and said coldly: "This
I won't let you worry about this matter, so I'll take my leave!" After saying that, he glared at her fiercely and left angrily.
Gong Yueyue's eyes grew colder, and there was a hint of murderous intent, "Compared to letting him stare at me with that look, how about being hurt like this?" Then he glanced at Jinxu, "You don't have this problem.
Report it to Zhao Changyuan and let him get angry."
Jinxu sighed softly, nodded, and then said: "Let me give the medicine to the lady."
Gong Yueyue nodded, took away the towel, and asked in a low voice: "How many days will it take for this to go away?"
"I'm afraid it will take more than ten days before I can't see it anymore." Jinxu looked at her completely swollen face and said with a slight frown.
Gong Yueyue also frowned, "Can such a good medicine not work?"
Jinxu nodded, "It's because of such good medicine that we don't have to worry too much about scarring."
"If I go back and be seen by my grandmother and mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out for a while!" Gong Yueyue wailed in a low voice.
Jinxu sighed again, feeling that the young lady was not as calm as before in the past few days. She didn't even have any airs with them, and she acted coquettishly towards the old lady and the madam, as if she had returned to life.
