After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, Chen Jie had not yet spoken. The palace door behind him creaked. Young Master Liu stiffened and quickly scanned with breathless concentration.
However, after a long time, except for Chen Jie's breath, Young Master Liu could not feel the breath of any other living person at all.
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, please respect yourself!"
Chen Jie raised her snow-white neck and looked at Young Master Liu who dared not look at her with her beautiful eyes. The shyness in her beautiful eyes flashed away, and her eyes gradually became firm.
With her beautiful eyes silently looking at Mr. Liu's somewhat regretful stubble, Chen Jie put her pretty face against Liu Mingzhi's chest and started stroking it.
Frankly speaking, Chen Jie's beauty is comparable to that of Qi Yun, otherwise she would not have such a noble status as the crown prince's concubine.
Chen Jie looked at Young Master Liu's expression and said in a soft voice: "Brother-in-law, isn't the Ai family beautiful?"
Liu Mingzhi's pupils shrank and he slowly closed his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, my brother's words remain unchanged. Please respect yourself. If you don't let go, I will use my internal force to blow your arm away. If you are injured, don't blame me."
"I don't know what the emperor's sister-in-law means by this move, but I hope that the emperor's sister-in-law will think twice."
After hearing Young Master Liu's threat, Chen Jie not only had no intention of letting go, but the two pairs of jade arms holding Young Master Liu's waist tightened even more, with ten slender green-white jade fingers clasped together tightly.
I wish I could integrate my body into Liu Dashao's body.
Young Master Liu felt the increasingly full feeling in his arms, and wanted to use his inner strength to shake Chen Jie's arms away. However, when he thought about his own strength, a weak woman like Chen Jie would definitely die or be disabled if this happened.
Gritting his teeth, he wrapped his hands with the hem of his official robe and pulled them towards Chen Jie's palms on his lower back.
Liu Mingzhi exerted a little force and put his fingers slightly on the acupuncture points on Chen Jie's wrist. Chen Jie groaned in pain and subconsciously let go of her arms holding Liu Dashao's waist.
Young Master Liu broke free and waved his clothes gently, causing Chen Jie to fall onto the carpet behind her.
Liu Mingzhi turned around directly, swung his sword finger with his right hand on the slightly floating gauze, and a sword energy condensed from his inner strength cut off several sections of the gauze in the palace.
Feeling Chen Jie's position behind him, Liu Mingzhi grabbed the gauze and waved it behind him. Chen Jie's delicate body, which was not covered with hair, was instantly wrapped in the gauze.
"Imperial Sister-in-law, if you want to imitate Lu Pheasant, I advise you not to bring about your own destruction. If I feel guilty, your plan is fine. If I have a clear conscience, no one can try to kill me."
"Farewell!"
"Brother-in-law, wait a minute, Aijia doesn't mean this!"
Liu Mingzhi turned a deaf ear to Chen Jie's voice and walked quickly towards the palace door.
Chen Jie wrapped her delicate body with several layers of gauze and hurriedly chased after Young Master Liu.
"Brother-in-law, if the Ai family wants to imitate Empress Lu, how can they reject all the maids and eunuchs in the palace and even the entire Xiyuan."
Liu Mingzhi paused in his steps and frowned slightly.
Yes, there is no one in the entire Xiyuan. If Chen Jie wants to imitate Lu Pheasant, she should not do so at all.
"Emperor's sister-in-law, I would like an explanation. We have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in recent times. I traveled thousands of miles to help the capital, and supported Li Ye's nephew to ascend the throne as the emperor."
"My younger brother asks himself if he has lived up to the kindness of the emperor. Why does the emperor's sister-in-law want to do this and want to put my little brother to death?"
Chen Jie's pretty face looked at the back of Young Master Liu standing in front of the palace door with a melancholy look, her teeth biting her red lips.
"Brother-in-law, can you give the Ai family a chance to explain? The Ai family will go to the palace immediately to pretend."
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment and nodded silently: "Okay, I don't want the emperor's sister-in-law to become a life-and-death enemy by accident, but I would like to advise the emperor's sister-in-law not to repeat the same tricks."
"Otherwise, once what happened today is leaked, it will be neither good for you nor me."
"My brother is waiting for the emperor's sister-in-law in the pavilion outside the palace. The view from there is clear, and people will not be afraid of being criticized if they see her."
"Since we want to talk about business, let's talk openly."
After speaking, Liu Mingzhi directly opened the door of the palace and walked out of the palace, leaving Chen Jie, who looked a little unnatural, with her bare lotus feet behind the curtain to change into formal clothes.
"My lord, have you finished talking to your empress? We will send you out of the palace right now!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Gao Jin who was coming toward him and stared into his eyes.
After a long time, under Gao Jin's reserved look, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Chen Jie's behavior in the palace was not known even to her personal eunuch. Thinking of this, Liu Mingzhi felt a heavy burden fall from his heart.
The look on his and Chen Jie's face in the palace just now would be safer if one less person knew about it.
"We haven't finished talking yet. The Queen Mother feels that the palace is too stuffy, so she asked me to wait in the pavilion before we can discuss business."
"So that's it. Your Majesty, please come this way and I'll show you the way."
"Good work!"
In the pavilion dozens of steps outside Yi'an Palace, Mr. Liu straightened his official robe and sat down. During tea time, Chen Jie was dressed in dignified palace clothes. She wore a plain cloak behind her and held a tray in her hand.
Walking towards the pavilion.
Seeing this, Gao Jin hurried forward to take the tray from Chen Jie's hand, but Chen Jie stopped him and said, "Go and guard thirty steps away. The Ai family has to discuss something with King Bingbian."
.”
"Yes, let's resign!"
Gao Jin walked towards the pavilion. Chen Jie walked into the pavilion with the tray in her hand, put down the tray and sat down opposite Young Master Liu.
Seeing Young Master Liu's eyes, Chen Jie's pretty face turned red. She silently sat down opposite Young Master Liu, picked up the pot and poured Young Master Liu a glass of wine.
Mr. Liu frowned and looked at the wine glass in front of him. He really didn't dare to drink it, for fear that there would be something in it.
When Chen Jie saw Young Master Liu's expression, she waved her hands in a panic with her pretty face.
"There's nothing wrong with the drink. Brother-in-law, if you don't believe it, the Ai family will drink it for you."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, she picked up the drink in front of Young Master Liu and drank it all in one gulp. She then signaled the empty wine glass to Young Master Liu before putting it back.
Chen Jie was only twenty-eight when she married Li Baiyu, and now she is only in her thirties, only one year older than Mr. Liu.
When Young Master Liu frowned, Chen Jie, a weak woman, couldn't handle the fierce aura he brought from the battlefield.
Seeing Chen Jie finish his drink, Liu Mingzhi's expression slowly returned to its original state.
"Sister-in-law, I won't drink any more wine. Let me tell you the reason first!"
"It's not clear that the famous wife of the emperor who is promiscuous in the harem is not clear about it. I hope that the emperor's wife can give me a reasonable explanation."
Chen Jie stopped pouring the wine, put down the teapot and looked at Young Master Liu's calm eyes, her pretty face was a little embarrassed, and even more ashamed.
Apparently he was ashamed of his shameless behavior in the palace.
Chen Jie entwined her fingers tightly and lowered her head silently.
"The prince ascended the throne at a young age and has no foundation in the court. With his current power, he cannot suppress the civil and military forces of the court."
"The veterans in the court now are all old foxes left over from the Ruizong period. The late emperor Wuzong would have to spend a lot of effort to control them, let alone the emperor!"
"The Ai family just wants to find a capable helper for the emperor, but in the official court, it is impossible to figure out who is loyal to the Ai family and who is traitorous."
"Only brother-in-law, you tried every means to protect the safety of the Ai family, mother and son, and spared no effort to help the emperor ascend the throne and become emperor."
"Furthermore, brother-in-law, with your current status, you are the only person in the court who can withstand the pressure from the civil and military forces of the court and fully help the emperor."
"The Aijia just want to..."
Chen Jie's face once again showed a look of shyness and shame.
"I just want to use my residual body in exchange for your brother-in-law's great help to the emperor, to help the emperor to stabilize the country, to continue the bloodline of the late emperor, and to continue the Li family's country."
"As long as you, brother-in-law, can help the emperor stabilize the imperial court, the ruined body of the Ai family will be at your disposal."
Looking at Young Master Liu's stunned eyes, Chen Jie's face looked extremely unnatural.
"The Aijia knows that this method is shameless, but the Aijia really can't think of any other way."
"The humble forces of the Ai family cannot make any waves in the court."
"The Ai family also knows that this is a disservice to the late Emperor!"
"But women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong."
"I am willing to pay anything for the emperor's son and my family."
"Including the remains of the Ai family, as well as the lives that were lucky enough to survive."
"Other than this pretty body, the Ai family really has nothing to offer."
"As long as you swear to help the emperor ascend the throne and become emperor, the Ai family will be at your disposal."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, she raised her neck and closed her eyes slightly, showing a posture of letting anyone pick her.
