Concubine Wan Gui didn't really want to come to see Lu Louluo. This was not a matter of status or martial arts.
In terms of status, she is a noble concubine. She is more favored than the empress and controls the harem.
In terms of strength, she is in the God-Blessing Realm, while Lu Louluo is still one step away from the God-Blessing Realm.
Concubine Wan Gui didn't want to come because she was a little scared.
As for why she was afraid, only she and the emperor knew, because the emperor was also afraid.
Back then, the emperor personally asked Lu Louluo to do something, and this matter was indeed wronging her.
With Lu Louluo's temper, he rejected the emperor without any hesitation.
But the emperor was not angry, but felt guilty to this day.
There is a beautiful lotus garden in the east of Yangzi City, which is the royal garden of Lone Bamboo. Lu Louluo lives here.
In addition to her, Lu Yunjia and the injured Sui Qingqu also lived here.
When Concubine Wan Gui arrived, she took a deep breath. With her experience in the city and her strength and cultivation, she was actually a little timid.
There are no soldiers and horses guarding Xiuhe Garden, because the emperor knows Lu Louluo's temper, and if he sends troops here, he will be displeased.
Concubine Wan Gui entered the door and walked through the front yard. The closer she got, the more nervous she became.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself and said to herself, Wanqingli, Wanqingli, you have never been afraid of a duel with a master in the God-endowed Realm, so what are you afraid of now?
Self-deprecation is self-deprecation, and tension is tension.
As she walked, she thought about how the first thing she encountered when she returned to Geling City after practicing in Yuxinguan for fifteen years after leaving her master's door was that she was invited by the Master of Shangyang Palace.
At that time, she was not nervous at all.
"You still need to take care of your injury."
Suddenly someone spoke, which startled Concubine Wan Gui.
She turned around to look, and then noticed that Lu Luoluo, a woman in white, was standing in a pavilion a few feet away.
Outside the pavilion is a frozen lake. It has to be said that the winter here in Yangzicheng is colder than in the northern part of Dayu.
Concubine Wan Gui put on a smile, turned around and walked towards the pavilion: "I know, I have mixed some medicine and am taking it."
I don't know why, as a noble concubine, as the woman the emperor cares about most, when she put on a smile and walked forward, she actually looked a little bit flattering.
"Thank you."
Concubine Wan Gui said.
Lu Louluo didn't look at her, he stood in the pavilion and stared at the lake in front of him.
Concubine Wan Gui asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Louluo replied: "I'm thinking about your fight with Ye Puti in the palace."
Concubine Wan Gui said quickly: "If you need my help in any way, just tell me and I will tell you everything I know. You also know that I will not hide anything from you."
Lu Louluo nodded: "I know."
Concubine Wan Gui: "Then you might as well tell me now where I can help you."
Lu Louluo said: "No need."
Concubine Wan Gui felt even more nervous, wondering if she was still so resistant to her?
It's all your Majesty's fault.
If His Majesty hadn't told her that thing in the first place, how could she have hated herself as well?
You must know that when His Majesty begged her, he had not yet entered the palace. It was none of his business if His Majesty offended her.
So angry.
Just thinking about this, Lu Louluo said: "The matter between me and him does not involve you. I actually like you very much. It has not been easy for you in the palace for so many years."
It's rare.
Lu Louluo actually said so many words in one breath, and even said that he liked himself.
For a moment, Concubine Wan Gui actually felt a little flattered, and even a little proud.
Because it is impossible for Lu Louluo to say so many things to His Majesty, His Majesty cannot even ask for anything.
Concubine Wan Gui was pleasantly surprised and still advised herself not to talk nonsense just because she was happy.
Lu Louluo has such a stubborn temper that he has never given His Majesty a good look in all these years. He cannot mention His Majesty, just in case he offends her again...
Lu Louluo looked at Concubine Wan Gui. She seemed to have seen through all the thoughts in Concubine Wan Gui's mind, so when Concubine Wan Gui came back to her senses, her face turned slightly red.
Lu Louluo suddenly said: "Actually, you don't have to think about flattering me, you are the imperial concubine."
Concubine Wan Gui: "No, no, no, I'm just your sister-in-law."
If an outsider heard this, he would probably break into a cold sweat from fear.
Concubine Wan Gui said: "I sincerely hope that you don't treat me as a noble concubine. I just hope that you can accept it..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Louluo nodded: "If I don't accept it, I won't say I like you."
These words made Concubine Wan Gui fly with joy.
Lu Louluo asked: "You suddenly came to see me today. What did he ask you to tell me?"
Concubine Wan Gui immediately shook her head and said: "No, if he asks me to ask you to do something, I won't listen to him. How can I bother you because of his affairs? I'm here today just to see you."
Lu Louluo sighed softly.
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Believe me, I didn't come just because Your Majesty asked me to come."
Lu Louluo sighed again.
Concubine Wan Gui: "I have something to ask you."
Lu Louluo: "Say."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "It's... because, for a moment, I..."
Lu Louluo: "Because of Lin Ye?"
Concubine Wan Gui raised her hand and scratched her eyebrows: "That's not really true, hahahaha..."
Lu Louluo: "Your awkward smile is not pretty at all."
Concubine Wan Gui became even more embarrassed and had no choice but to laugh again.
Her mind turned over and over again, and finally she thought of Zinai, and planned to use Zinai as an excuse.
She said: "It was Miss Zina who begged me to help her make an armor for her brother. That little girl had been saving all the things Lin Ye gave her. She said she didn't want anything to happen to her brother, so she wanted to
..."
Lu Louluo asked: "Zinai has a very good physique, have you seen it?"
Concubine Wan Gui said immediately: "Yes, yes, I can tell at a glance that she is somewhat similar to you, more like you than Yunjia."
Lu Louluo hummed and turned around: "Come with me."
Concubine Wan Gui quickly followed her, exhaling softly as she walked.
I'm still cursing myself in my heart... Wan Qingli, Wan Qingli, I never thought you were really such a coward.
In fact, she really wanted to persuade Lu Louluo just now. After all, so many years have passed, so don't bear too much grudge against His Majesty.
When His Majesty asked her to do that thing, after all, it was not for His Majesty himself, but for Dayu's country and country.
Besides, it is indeed the most appropriate for her to go.
His Majesty didn't force her at first, he just mentioned it to her. She didn't want to, but His Majesty didn't even dare to say a word.
Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty is cruel to the royal family, but they don't know how much His Majesty loves his sister.
As they were walking, Lu Louluo suddenly said: "You should know that I hate him not because of myself, but because of him..."
Concubine Wan Gui blurted out: "There is no need to say this. If His Majesty had a second choice, he would not do that. He treats you the same way."
She originally didn't intend to speak for His Majesty, but at this moment, she couldn't help it anymore.
"The country and the country are suddenly on His Majesty's shoulders. If he doesn't do everything possible, will it really be only the members of the royal family who die? The people of the world will surely fall into civil strife. They would even dare to kill the late emperor, and even Your Majesty."
Lu Louluo's footsteps stopped.
Concubine Wan Gui continued: "When the late Emperor was still here, Your Majesty begged the late Emperor to send you to seclusion to practice in the world no matter what. He just wanted to protect you."
Lu Louluo looked back at Concubine Wan Gui: "What about the little sister?"
Concubine Wan Gui said: "My little sister actually... died of illness not long after."
Lu Louluo's expression changed drastically.
For such a cold and arrogant woman, her state of mind suddenly became chaotic and even collapsed.
"Your Majesty won't let me say it. She's afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "A few years after you went to practice, my little sister was born, and her health has been extremely poor since birth."
"At that time, His Majesty tried every means to save her and tried his best, but the little sister only lived to be a few years old before she died of illness."
Lu Louluo stood there, his face turned pale.
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Your Majesty knows that you will be sad once you find out about this."
Lu Louluo suddenly asked: "Who is Tuoba Yunxi?"
Concubine Wan Gui: "It's just that His Majesty had no choice but to select a child and send it to Tuoba Lie as a princess."
Lu Louluo's face became paler.
Concubine Wan Gui said: "At the beginning, 90% of His Majesty's close confidants were killed, and more than half of the Imperial Army at that time participated in the rebellion."
"The only troops your Majesty can use are the more than a thousand men Liu Jigong led after the bloody battle. Apart from that, the only one is Tuoba Lie."
She looked into Lu Luoluo's eyes and said, "Your Majesty had to use Tuoba Lie, and Tuoba Lie had already turned against me at that time, and I was worried that His Majesty would be suspicious of him if his betrayal was revealed."
"The situation at that time was so difficult and suffering. In order to stabilize Tuoba Lie, His Majesty sent Tuoba Yunxi there as a hostage."
Lu Louluo asked: "Tuoba Yunxi...does she know that she is not His Majesty's sister?"
Concubine Wan Gui shook her head: "She doesn't know."
Lu Louluo: "Then when do you plan to tell her?"
Concubine Wan Gui: "I don't plan to."
Lu Louluo was startled.
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Your Majesty said that he owed too much when he sent that little girl there, so he will treat her like his own sister from now on, and will never mention this matter to her."
Lu Louluo said in a particularly complicated tone: "Just like Lin Ye..."
The two women fell silent at this time, and neither one said anything more.
After a long time, Concubine Wan Gui continued: "It was really difficult for Your Majesty back then. Liu Jigong was loyal, but there was no one around him to help him, and he even lost his army."
"Tuoba Lie has a rebellious mind. He swings back and forth between being rebellious and not being rebellious. If Your Majesty doesn't make such arrangements to calm Tuoba Lie's heart, Tuoba Lie may do something rebellious in Geling."
"I see."
Lu Louluo turned around and said, "Come with me."
She walked in front, followed by Concubine Wan Gui.
After a moment, she said as if talking to herself: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you this, and I'm sorry for Your Majesty."
Lu Louluo shook his head.
The two people walked to the backyard. Lu Yunjia was helping Sui Qing to walk around the yard. When they saw Lu Louluo and Concubine Wan Gui coming, the two people hurriedly came forward to talk.
Lu Louluo said: "Take the things I prepared and give them to the noble concubine to take back."
Lu Yunjia responded, turned around and went back to the room.
Not long after, she came out holding a box, which seemed to be quite heavy.
Lu Luoluo handed the box to Concubine Wan Gui: "Ever since I learned that Yun Jia tempered the array sword for Lin Ye, I started to prepare this thing. I originally planned to give it to him later, because in practice, it is not reliable after all.
Many external forces.”
She looked at Concubine Wan Gui: "I just said that you don't need to help me, that's why."
Concubine Wan Gui nodded vigorously: "I will listen to you."
After she left with the box, Lu Yunjia looked at her master, a little curious.
"Master, why is Concubine Wan Gui so polite to you, and even seems to be a little afraid of you?"
Lu Louluo didn't answer immediately. He was silent for a while before speaking.
"She's not afraid."
She turned around and left without saying anything else, leaving behind a confused and confused disciple.
