The emperor's heart cannot be guessed.
This is the truth that he has listened to from his elders since he was a child.
Thunder, rain and dew are all gifts from the emperor. No matter when it comes, as a minister, you cannot rely on your status to try to figure out the emperor's heart or his majesty's thoughts.
But the elders who taught him the truth back then are dead, and he has now lived to their age, even stronger and older than them. But every time Liang Yuan thought of this sentence, he would feel that there was deep helplessness and fear hidden behind it.
Just like now, when Liang Yuan recalled the turmoil in the imperial capital, the strife of power hidden behind the palace, and the surging undercurrents, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened secretly, and even felt fearful.
Lin Wangbei's fate almost sounded the alarm to all the civil and military officials in the court.
No matter how powerful you are, if you have His Majesty's trust, the 'unpredictable will of the Holy Spirit' will only last for a moment. The dignified marshal of the country turned overnight into a criminal wanted by the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom with a bounty on his head. The people in the entire Holy Kingdom who wanted to kill him, as well as the strong men who were tempted by the bounty, all mobilized at this moment.
At such a critical moment, the Holy Kingdom has already used its trump cards such as the Border and Abyss. Jitian Demon Kingdom may break through the city wall at any time, but Tiantian Holy Kingdom has lost Lin Wangbei.
An atmosphere of despair almost enveloped the court, and even the few officials who once liked impeachment military attachés became more honest for the first time.
At this time, no one knows what His Majesty is thinking. Liang Yuan doesn't know, those important ministers don't know, the concubines in the palace who only know how to fight for power all day long don't know, even Mu Ningqiu, the eldest princess who is most favored by His Majesty, doesn't know. , were all turned away at this time and not summoned.
Liang Yuan saw this and could only lament that the sky in the Heaven-Tentian Holy Kingdom had changed.
All kinds of emotions only lasted for a moment. Liang Yuan looked at Mu Ningqiu, who was standing there like a sculpture, and advised him again: "Your Highness, please don't embarrass this old slave again. Come back."
"If Your Majesty doesn't see me, I won't go back."
Mu Ningqiu lowered her eyes and spoke calmly, but with a bit of hoarseness.
Liang Yuan's lips trembled when he heard these words, but seeing Mu Ningqiu's firm expression, he could only sigh helplessly and swallowed what he was about to say.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart.
No wonder the child has been close to her aunt since she was a child.
Their personalities are almost carved from the same mold.
Just as stubborn, determined, and even paranoid.
As long as they believe something, it is absolutely impossible to change it.
Just when Liang Yuan had such a sigh in his heart, a blue bird flapped its wings from a distance at a very fast speed. It broke through the restrictions outside the imperial study room in almost the blink of an eye, and hovered in front of Mu Ningqiu, with a green light. Broken into pieces, it turned into a jade pendant.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yuan silently took a few steps back to avoid suspicion.
Mu Ningqiu wanted to say no, but when she saw the special symbols on the jade pendant, her eyes moved slightly and she nodded towards Liang Yuan. Then she took the hanging jade pendant and closed her eyes to feel the message inside.
After a few breaths passed, Mu Ningqiu opened her eyes, her expression no longer so serious. After being silent for a long while, she said to Liang Yuan: "Please tell Your Majesty, Manager Liang, that I will come again."
At this time, she calls herself me instead of me, which means that her request for an audience as the 'eldest princess' has come to an end.
But she still refused to call her father, which proved that the anger in her heart had not subsided.
In just a moment, Liang Yuan heard two different meanings from Mu Ningqiu's words, and he made up his mind. He didn't ask what happened to her, but bowed slightly and said, "Congratulations, old slave." Your Highness."
Mu Ningqiu saluted Liang Yuan from afar, then immediately turned around and left.
Liang Yuan looked at her back, but he was keenly aware that Mu Ningqiu, who had always been calm and unfazed, was actually feeling a little anxious at this moment.
"problem occurs?"
Liang Yuan subconsciously thought something happened in the palace.
He knew that Mu Ningqiu had a force that was loyal to her. This force was deeply hidden in the palace, and the information from all aspects was also very well-informed. If something happened in the palace, Mu Ningqiu would get the news even faster than him, the chief manager.
However, as soon as this idea appeared, Liang Yuan was driven out of his mind.
Then someone important must be visiting
Ge Xinyue.
Or... Lu Li
When the second name emerged, Liang Yuan's expression changed again.
He looked at Mu Ningqiu's leaving figure and wanted to ask, but gave up in the end.
"If it's really Lu Li, things will be a little troublesome."
Liang Yuan murmured and began to think about whether to inform His Majesty of this guess immediately.
Lu Li's current strength is no longer what it was before. After becoming a grand master, he has done many great things in Yanzhou, and even Liang Yuan, who is far away in the imperial capital, has heard about it.
More importantly, Lu Li now has a name that is resounding throughout the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom.
'Demon King'!
The name "Devil" not only proves that his methods are terrible, but also represents his behavior style, which is almost the same as that of a demon.
If Lu Li really returns to the Imperial Capital, under the current surging undercurrent, there will probably be another turmoil.
After much hesitation, Liang Yuan finally decided to press the matter first.
His eyes flashed slightly, thinking of His Majesty's current state, and he felt that things were a little weird.
If Lu Li's arrival can change everything, maybe pretending not to know anything is the best choice.
…
At this moment.
In Mu Ningqiu's palace, Lu Li was looking around with his little furball in his arms, and said in his mouth: "As expected of the eldest princess of the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven, this is my first time to come to this palace, and the layout is better than that of Prince Yan's Palace. It’s much more powerful.”
The little furball snorted feebly, narrowed his eyes to a slit, and didn't even bother to look. He even felt that Lu Li was making a fuss out of a molehill and was embarrassing himself here.
Didn’t you see how the palace maids around you looked at you
Thinking of this, the little fur ball looked around and felt even more embarrassed.
The surrounding maids occasionally raised their eyes cautiously and looked at Lu Li curiously, as if they were confirming a certain title in their minds.
And when Lu Li's gaze swept over them, they quickly lowered their eyes, not daring to look directly at him.
Their attitude was actually more like fear than curiosity.
Although the news in the palace is 'closed', on some major events, it still spreads very quickly.
What Lu Li did in Yanzhou was obviously a big deal, and his name as the 'Devil King' had spread to the palace, almost to the point where everyone knew about it.
If it weren't for his kind attitude, these maids who were not very courageous would have called the guards long ago.
"When will your Highness arrive?"
After walking around for a while, Lu Li looked at the slightly reserved female official who was following him, and said with a smile: "If she doesn't come back, you may have to find some masters in the palace to drive me out."
"Lu..."
"Master Lu is joking."
The female officer was a little speechless and didn't know how to address Lu Li. Fortunately, she was quick-thinking and directly addressed her with the more general term 'sir'. She said respectfully: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has already given instructions. Noble people like you and Manager Ge do not need to be heavy-handed when they come to visit." If you inform her, you can send the message directly to her."
"Although there are many rules in the palace, being a servant still requires some discernment."
Having said this, the female officer buried her head lower, not to please, but she would never offend the 'evil star' in front of her.
When Lu Li saw her like this, he knew that his 'male power' had spread to the imperial palace. Some people had already regarded him as an evil star and had completely avoided him. From now on, in this place, Above the evil star, I am afraid that there will be another image of a 'devil king' who kills without blinking an eye.
"Hey, people have misunderstood me too much." Lu Li sighed in his heart, but he did not embarrass the female officer any more. He showed a smile that he thought was kind and said gently: "In that case, you don't need to be with me anymore. I can just wait for her here."
After that, Lu Li looked around again, looking at the palace ladies who subconsciously avoided his gaze, "You all should go out."
"Master Lu, spare your life!"
However, as soon as these words were said, a palace maid suddenly couldn't hold back her nervousness and knelt on the ground, sobbing and begging for mercy.
Immediately afterwards, as if they had made an appointment, the maids knelt down one after another, and the sounds of mercy could not be heard.
Lu Li's smile suddenly froze.
