The words of the palace steward still carry some weight.
Hearing what he said, Lu Li's heart dropped to his stomach, and he immediately made friends with Liang Yuanpan with a shy face: "Liang..."
But as soon as he started speaking, Lu Li got stuck.
Calling him Manager Liang seems a bit awkward. Calling him father-in-law? Lu Li didn't know if this title was taboo, so he finally said, "Senior Liang, can you reveal some information?"
"Master Lu, His Majesty's thoughts are unpredictable. Even the old slave can only say that he understands two or three points, but he dare not say that he fully understands."
Liang Yuan said in a gentle voice: "But this time it is indeed a good thing. Otherwise, His Majesty would not specifically ask you to meet in the Imperial Study Room."
Hearing this, Lu Li nodded thoughtfully.
At the same time, I felt that Liang Yuan's attitude was a bit strange.
Because the way he looked at me... seemed kind of loving
"The old slave has some friendship with King Yan." Seeing his doubts, Liang Yuan explained with a smile, and then said: "King Yan... is she okay?"
"Thank you, senior, for remembering me. Your Highness, she is in a good mood recently. After all, she has put down a lot of burdens, and she seems much more relaxed."
Hearing Liang Yuan's answer, Lu Li immediately felt relieved.
This old man in the palace has served three emperors successively. The current group of princes probably grew up under his nose. It is normal for them to have some contact and even preference.
Liang Yuan sighed: "That's good... That's good."
As he spoke, the imperial study room was already in front of him.
When he reached the door, Liang Yuan stopped and said with a smile: "Go in, His Majesty is already waiting for you."
Lu Li nodded, not forgetting to express his thanks: "Thank you, senior."
Liang Yuan reached out and patted Lu Li on the shoulder, "Good boy."
After a pause, he said a little lonely: "From now on, King Yan... I will leave it to you to take care of me."
Lu Li was shocked. Just when he was about to say something, Mu Jing's somewhat angry voice came from the royal study: "What are you doing standing outside? Come in!"
After hearing this, Lu Li could only hide his doubts, apologized, and walked into the imperial study room.
At this time, there was no one else in the imperial study room except Mu Jing.
Although this was Lu Li's second time entering this place, the last time he saw Mu Jing was older and weaker.
And the two did not meet alone at that time.
Coupled with the fact that Mu Jing is now recovering from his injuries, the majesty of the Holy Kingdom Emperor has returned to him. Just sitting there gives people an irresistible sense of oppression.
"come over."
Seeing Lu Lichu standing there, Mu Jing frowned and said, "Can Gu still kill you?"
So who can say for sure
You surnamed Mu are all a bunch of lunatics.
Lu Li complained in his heart, but a hint of sneer appeared on his face, and he walked closer.
"How is Hongxiu's injury?" Mu Jing got straight to the point and asked about Mu Hongxiu's injury.
"Thank you... Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. King Yan's injury has improved, but... his cultivation has been completely lost."
Lu Li thought for a while, but still didn't say the last word "waste".
"You asked Wangbei to send a message to Gu, because you wanted to complain about Hongxiu and Gu for not intervening in this matter. Or do you think there was Gu's instruction behind her being crippled?"
Mu Jing raised his eyes and looked at Lu Li, his tone was calm, but with a hint of accountability.
Lu Li grinned and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I was just making random nonsense. Who knew that Marshal Lin was so honest that he would actually come back to report to you. If I had known this, I would have been careful in my words and deeds, and would never say anything behind your back. Your bad words.”
"Don't do such a playful smile in front of Gu." Mu Jing snorted coldly: "Gu Ke still remembers all the questions you asked. What? At that time, you were just a third-grade guard with no realm, so you dared What a shame. Now that you have become the general manager of Prince Yan’s Mansion, and have the strength to fight against a master, you don’t even dare to tell the truth?"
"Did Gu's actions today disappoint you?"
These words made Lu Li frightened, especially the comment about 'being able to fight against a master' made Lu Li even more surprised.
Although the bonus of Tianren Qiyun was very obvious, Lu Li was confident that he could hide it well, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape Mu Jing's eyes.
This emperor who is invincible to the Holy Kingdom seems to be more than just a top grandmaster.
Noticing the change in Lu Li's expression, Mu Jing sneered: "Your sword energy in the main hall can be hidden from King Yun, but you can't hide it from Gu."
Mu Jing stared at Lu Li and said word by word: "If Gu doesn't stop him, what else do you want to do? Kill a Holy Kingdom prince in front of the ministers?"
"You are so brave!"
When Lu Li heard this, he stopped pretending to be a well-behaved courtier and sighed: "Your Majesty knows your heart better than anyone else. Naturally, my little thoughts cannot be hidden from you. If I am caught and exposed, I will admit defeat."
"But... Your Majesty specially asked me to come here. It can't be as simple as calling for an attack, right?"
Lu Li frowned and said, "I'm here anyway. If Your Majesty raises an army to accuse me, I won't be able to escape. If Your Majesty has anything else to tell me, it's best not to scare me. I'm a human being." He is timid and cannot bear to be frightened.”
Seeing his look of needing a beating, Mu Jing knew that he was making it clear that he was going to take advantage of his 'young age' to act arrogantly.
So Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, and when he was about to say something, a pleasant female voice interrupted: "Father, I have already said that this guy's character is extremely shameless. Even if you bluff him, he will not easily Acknowledge it.”
Hearing this voice, Mu Whale raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "You are right."
At the same time, a beautiful figure walked out from behind the screen in the imperial study room.
Lu Li pretended to be surprised, widened his eyes and said, "Who is this?"
In fact, Lu Li had already guessed her identity the moment she opened her mouth.
In the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom, there was only one woman who could enter and leave the Imperial Study Room at will and call Mu Jing as her father.
The eldest princess of the Holy Kingdom, Mu Ningqiu!
Seeing Lu Li pretending to be stupid, Mu Ningqiu smiled charmingly, "It's only been a few months since I strangled my neck and begged for death. How come you don't recognize me so soon?"
"I've met the princess." Lu Li couldn't pretend anymore and could only smile.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, Lu Li."
Mu Ningqiu came a little closer and faced Lu Li face to face. The distance was so close that she could almost feel the other person's breath.
She looked Lu Li up and down and narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Not only has your strength become stronger now, but your temperament has also changed. This dress... was made for you by the descendant of the goddess?"
It should be said that Mu Ningqiu was indeed a woman, and she actually noticed the green robe at first sight.
"I heard that the little saint of the Ye Sect has a good relationship with you."
Before Lu Li could answer, Mu Ningqiu changed the topic and said with a smile: "You have really done a lot of great things during the days of my retreat."
"Okay, Ningqiu."
At this moment, Mu Jing interrupted Mu Ningqiu.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Li always felt that there was some caution in Mu Jing's eyes.
It was as if... he was afraid that he would kidnap his precious daughter.
Lu Li suddenly felt that he had been wronged.
I have nothing to do with her!
If there is any relationship, they are also 'enemies'!
Back in the Black Prison, Mu Ningqiu suffered a lot, so much so that when she returned to the ancient times, she threatened to kill herself.
With such a wonderful past, it was good that the two did not fight when they met.
When Mu Ningqiu wasn't paying attention, Lu Li took a few steps back and said with a smile, "When did the princess leave seclusion? You didn't even send anyone to notify her. I didn't even prepare a gift. How rude."
"With the national crisis approaching, it's natural for me to leave the country."
Mu Ningqiu glanced at him, and then said meaningfully: "If your gift was something that was defrauded from me, then you should keep it for yourself."
"Things that lied to you?" Mu Jing frowned and said, "Is there such a thing?"
Lu Li quickly said: "I was joking with you at that time. I keep those things in my collection. If you want them, just take them back."
The things he defrauded from Mu Ningqiu back then were just for extracting points. Now those points are not worth mentioning in Lu Li's eyes. He has indeed received those items in the storage props just to protect Mu Ningqiu. After leaving customs, you will have to settle the accounts with yourself.
"Hmph, do you think I care about those things?" Mu Ningqiu frowned, feeling very happy when she saw Lu Li being so 'panicked'.
I told you to lie to me!
