"On behalf of the king, I will do it for you." Hua Meng suddenly knelt down and gritted his teeth and said. The hot oil pan looked too scary. If one arm were removed, he would definitely be disabled or disabled. He couldn't imagine what kind of tragic things would happen after the contemporary king put his little hand in.
"No, I'll do it myself. You won't be convincing, right?" Li Hong said to the Western Turkic envoy.
After listening to Hua Meng's words, Wu Mei's heart slowly relaxed, but when she heard Li Hong's rejection, her heart suddenly lifted up, and she wanted to immediately pull the little thing into her arms and beat her hard. A meal.
The Western Turkic envoy looked at the boiling oil pot and swallowed. He could see clearly that this was indeed a scalding oil pot. It was definitely not fake, and the spoonful of oil poured into the fire was enough to prove it. The oil in this pan is not fake.
Li Hong's face was a little serious. He stared at the boiling oil pot quietly and motioned to Hua Meng to pick him up. If he got close to the oil pot, he would probably be roasted by the fire below before the oil in the pot was scalding. With.
Li Hong looked at the Western Turkic envoy, sneered and said, "I'm keeping an eye on you."
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his snow-white arms that were as tender as lotus roots and still had baby fat. He motioned Hua Meng to come closer to the oil pan, then slowly bent down and stretched his hand into the oil pan.
The entire Linhu Palace could hear the drop of a needle at this time. Everyone's mouth was open wide and their expressions were extremely nervous. All of them opened their eyes wide and held their breath as they watched Li Hong's little hand slowly reach out to the hot oil pan.
"Hong'er doesn't want it." Wu Mei couldn't stand it anymore. She could be cruel to others, and she could even strangle her own daughter to death to frame Queen Wang.
But now when I see my favorite child reaching into the hot oil pan to get the copper coins, I still can't stand the pressure. My inner defense suddenly collapses and I can't help but scream to stop him.
"Don't worry, queen, my son and I will be fine." Li Hong leaned out half of his body in Hua Meng's arms and gave Wu Mei a relieved smile.
Wu Mei held the stiffened Li Zhi's arm tightly with both hands. Li Zhi looked at everything in front of him in disbelief and shock, but he had already secretly sworn in his heart that if Hong'er had any shortcomings today, all the foreigners here would The envoys will all have to die to pay for Hong'er's sin!
Yiyang, Anyang and the other princes looked at Li Hong and the hot oil pan in a remote corner in horror. Li Hong was brave and they knew this was true, but this was the first time they discovered that Li Hong was so stupid.
Ashinu touched the cheek that was kicked by Li Hong and sneered in his heart: "It would be better to fall into the oil pan and be burned to death, so that you can watch the bigger jokes of the Tang Dynasty."
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Li Hong's white and tender little hand suddenly reached into the hot oil pan. A burst of nervous screams immediately erupted in Linhu Palace. Yiyang, Anyang and others buried their heads in each other's eyes. , dare not look in the direction of the oil pan.
But at this moment, Wu Mei showed unusual calmness, her fair and beautiful cheeks covered with frost, and she quietly watched Li Hong put his hand into the oil pan. Even so, the scene before her eyes still scared Wu Mei to death. Beneath the calm appearance, Wu Mei seemed to hear her heart beating violently, as if it was about to jump out at the next moment.
Li Hong in Hua Meng's arms did not scream. Instead, he groped in the oil pan with a relaxed expression. Seeing this, Wu Mei breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her entire back was wet with cold sweat. Thoroughly.
Li Hong groped for a while in the warm oil pan, and finally found the first copper coin. He quickly picked it up from the oil pan, raised it to the stunned Western Turkic envoy, and then put his hand into the hot oil pan again. Then he took out the second copper coin from the hot oil pan.
How can this be? How could he reach into the frying pan with his bare hands without getting burned? What the hell is going on? Huge waves surged in the heart of the Western Turk envoy, and everything that happened in front of him was already beyond his understanding.
The ministers were also stunned by the scene in front of them. Could it be that King Dai was really the Dragon Emperor? Are there really immortal gods protecting the body? The hot oil pan did not harm him at all.
Then the third copper coin was found, and the fourth copper coin dangled in front of everyone's eyes.
Li Hong quickly put his hand into the already hot oil pan again. The vinegar inside had evaporated completely by now, and now it was time for the oil temperature to rise. He quickly groped for the last copper coin. His little hand was under the oil pan and had already firmly grasped the last copper coin. However, he did not take his hand out immediately, but pretended to continue groping in the oil pan.
He needed to wait until the oil in the oil pan was completely boiling before he took his hand up, because he was afraid that the stupid Western Turkic envoy would immediately reach out to the oil pan to prove whether the oil was boiling hot.
With Li Hong's little hand, he took out the last copper coin from the hot oil pan, raised the five copper coins in his hand high to signal to everyone, and everyone let out a long breath. The scene just now made everyone They were so nervous that they were going crazy. Now that they saw that King Dai's little arm was intact, the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
At the same time, everyone in the Linhu Palace was full of curiosity about this magical and strange scene in front of them. King Dai was intact, and his arms as white and tender as jade could not be dissipated in their minds for a long time. Is it the protection of gods? It was still a trick, they had no way of guessing, but the hot oil pan and the white and tender arms still brought a huge shock to their hearts.
"Hong'er, come here, let your mother and your father take a look at your arms." Wu Mei stretched out her arms to wave to Li Hong, her whole body as weak as if she had experienced a life-and-death ordeal.
"Mother, please wait a moment and let the envoy check the copper coins first." Li Hong said, watching the Western Turkic envoy stare blankly at the oil pan.
I glanced at the oil pan. The vinegar in the oil pan should have evaporated long ago. What is boiling now should be the real boiling oil that is almost 300 degrees.
Hua Meng put down Li Hong. He was the closest just now, but he didn't understand why Dai Wang's men were unscathed. After putting down Dai Queen, he was about to reach in and try it, when he was slapped on the arm by Li Hong, who had quick eyes and quick hands. .
I heard Li Hong yelling angrily: "I'm looking for death."
The Western Turkic envoy looked at Li Hong and stopped Hua Meng from putting his hand into the oil pan. He looked at the oil pan and shouted: "This is impossible. It must be fake. The king must have used a blind trick."
"Whether it's a trick or not, you'll know after you try it. Oh, these five copper coins are my reward for you." Li Hong walked to the Western Turkic envoy, continued to delay time, and then took the five oily copper coins in his hand , and threw it to the Western Turkic envoy.
"Impossible, I will never believe that this is a real frying pan. Let me give it a try." Ashinu, the young Western Turk Khan next to Yiyang and Anyang, was obviously unwilling to admit that the shocking scene just now was in front of him. This fact, and seeing his courtier being teased again and again, made the young man feel more competitive.
Ashinu looked at Li Hong's pink and white hands, showing no signs of injury, and walked over quickly from the corner.
Li Hong looked at Ashinu who was stepping forward, his eyes reflected an icy cold light. The Western Turkic envoy was shocked when he noticed that cold light, and secretly thought that there must be something mysterious in it, and the oil pot must be fake.
At this time, Ashinu had already walked to the oil pot. Before anyone could stop him, he quickly reached his right hand into the still boiling oil pot.
"Ah..." Ashinu's screams echoed through the entire Linhu Palace, shocking everyone's minds once again.
Ashinu's whole body was like shrimps like boiling water. He curled up and fell to the ground. His right hand, which was burned by the boiling oil, was stretched out and shaken vigorously. Layers of blood blisters suddenly appeared on that hand, and the entire right hand It's so horrific that it makes people shudder.
"Impossible, how is this possible? Why are you okay on behalf of the king?" The Western Turk envoy panicked, dropped the bet written in his hand, hurriedly walked to Ashinu, squatted down and looked at the shrinking right hand .
The ministers looked at each other in astonishment. This is unbelievable. Ashnu’s arm proves that the oil pot is absolutely fake, but why can Dai Wang be safe? The small figure became more and more mysterious in the eyes of the ministers, and also grew taller.
At this time, Li Hong showed a shocking side again. His short legs suddenly changed, and he quickly ran to Wu Mei, threw himself into Wu Mei's arms, and whispered: "Thank you, my dear mother, and father for your concern."
"Little skin monkey, this trick of yours won't work. Do you know that today you made your own decisions and almost scared the queen to death? Wait until you return to the harem and see how the queen deals with you!" Wu Mei pretended to be angry, her tone was now But it is full of deep love and compassion.
"Mother, you are really beautiful today. I'm afraid all the women in the world combined are not half as beautiful as you are today." Li Hongni said coquettishly in Wu Mei's arms.
"Hmph, do you think that if you praise me like this, I will let you go, you little monkey?" Wu Mei ignored the messy scene in the court, ignored the screams of the Western Turkic envoy and the Western Turkic little khan, He hugged Li Hong and said softly.
Li Hong turned to attack and asked Li Zhi for help, and said coquettishly: "Father, today my son has made such great contributions to our Tang Dynasty, and my mother wants to punish him. My heart is really cold at this moment."
"Hong'er is really a genius. He can tell my father why your hand is fine, but the little Khan of Western Turks' hand was burned." Li Zhi asked dotingly as he looked at Li Hong who had accomplished a remarkable feat today.
"Giggles... The secret must not be leaked. I will tell you when I am free one day. In fact, it is very simple. It's just that those people are too stupid. That's why they ended up like this. They were arrogant and arrogant. If they hadn't just They bully Yiyang and Huang brother, I will not attack them," Li Hong said as he stood up from Wu Mei's arms.
At this moment, the court gradually became quiet. Yale also started to play again after the Western Turkic envoy and Ashinu were taken away by the imperial doctor. The atmosphere became lively again. The ministers were talking about Li Hong just now. That magical scene made Li Hong full of praise.
At this moment, Wu Mei could finally relax and have a banquet with Li Zhi. At the same time, she kept the little leather monkey by her side, not letting him run around without saying anything to avoid other troubles.
Li Hong lowered his head and ate the food on the table without a bite. His eyes occasionally glanced at the female officer who was playing elegant music in the corner, not wanting to be slapped on the back of his head by Wu Mei in warning.
"Don't think too much about that female officer. What are you thinking about? You don't want to make trouble there again." Wu Mei looked at Li Hong warily and said.
"Oh, that's right." Li Hong said in surprise, "I have prepared gifts for my father and mother today."
Yiyang, Anyang, Li Zhong and others had also presented the gifts they had prepared to Wu Mei one by one. If he hadn't seen this, Li Hong would have forgotten about preparing gifts.
