The queen spoke softly and softly, but it was like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake letter, full of malice.
Once it is determined that this is the case, it will not be a good thing for Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue.
In that case, in the eyes of everyone, Rong Xiu will become an infatuated man who will do anything for women, while Chu Liuyue will be called a "disaster".
No matter how much Emperor Jiawen favored Rong Xiu, he would never be able to hand over his great career to such a person.
At least the ministers of the DPRK and China will never agree.
Not to mention Chu Liuyue.
The emperor's family has always avoided such women like snakes and scorpions.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Jiawen's expression suddenly froze.
The situation was so tense just now that he never had time to think about it.
Now that the queen mentioned it, he also noticed that something was wrong.
"Rong Xiu, Liu Yue, is what the queen said true?"
He looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Thinking back carefully, these two people did come out together.
Could it be that Rong Xiu really went in because of Chu Liuyue
Probably because of taking Ye Zhiting's elixir, Rong Xiu's complexion looked better at this time.
His pale lips moved slightly, forming a faint smile.
"Father, that's not the case. I went in for another reason. It's just that I happened to meet Miss Chu in the middle, so we came out together."
The queen sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She only said warmly:
"Oh? So it's just a coincidence? But why are your injuries so serious, King Li? On the other hand, Miss Chu doesn't seem to be serious. People who don't know may think that you, King Li, were seriously injured because you were trying to save her. That’s it.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Emperor Jiawen and sighed:
"Fortunately, Li Wangji has his own destiny. Otherwise, I don't know how sad your Majesty would be if it were true! Your Majesty, don't you agree?"
Emperor Jiawen's eyes swept over Chu Liuyue's body with a bit of scrutiny.
What the Queen said is not unreasonable.
Anyone who looks at the situation of these two people will find it strange.
"Speaking of it, King Li and Miss Chu are really destined. At the Prince's birthday banquet, King Li seemed to take special care of Miss Chu."
Emperor Jiawen frowned slightly.
That's right.
He remembered this too.
Although it was just a small thing, now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit strange.
The queen's voice lowered and she suddenly smiled.
"Your Majesty, don't mind. I just said it casually. King Li has not been in the imperial capital for many years, and he must not have been familiar with Miss Chu before. These are just unfounded speculations. Besides, if King Li really likes Miss Chu, it is just right. What a wonderful achievement!"
There was no trace of joy on Emperor Jiawen's face.
Rong Xiu smiled gently:
"Father, actually today, I would like to thank Miss Chu a lot. If she hadn't come to the rescue in time, I'm afraid I would have died in Jiuyou Tower by now."
Everyone looked shocked.
Emperor Jiawen couldn't help but ask:
"You said it was Liu Yue who saved you?!"
"Exactly. At that time-ahem-"
Rong Xiu clenched his fist, put it against his lips and coughed a few times.
"When Jiuyou Tower began to collapse, Erchen happened to be trapped on the sixth floor. The injuries on his body were also caused at that time. At that time, the sixth floor was sealed by the collapsed stones. Erchen tried his best but could not get out. . Just at this time, I met Miss Chu. She helped Erchen and took him out regardless of the danger. Only then can Erchen see the light of day again, otherwise..."
Rong Xiu did not continue, but the meaning was already clear.
Emperor Jiawen's expression softened a lot.
"So, you were not hurt because of her, but she saved you?"
Rong Xiu nodded lightly.
"Father, the Holy Ming."
Emperor Jiawen breathed a sigh of relief, and the way he looked at Chu Liuyue was very different from before.
"So that's it! Liu Yue, it seems I want to thank you a lot this time! Rong Xiu has not been by my side for so many years, and now his body has finally recovered a little, and he finally returned to the imperial capital. If something really happened. How should I explain to Wan'er?"
His voice suddenly paused, and a look of pain flashed across his face.
The queen lowered her eyes to cover up the jealousy in her eyes.
Then, she smiled as if unintentionally:
"So that's it. I really made a mistake. I didn't expect that Miss Chu, despite her slender figure, could rescue King Li from such a dangerous place. It's really amazing!"
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
The queen still seemed unwilling to give up.
Rong Xiu had already talked to this point, and she actually wanted to drag her into the water.
Unfortunately, this little trick is of no use to her.
Rong Xiu smiled faintly:
"Miss Chu has won the first place in the Qingjiao Association as both a martial artist and a mystic master. I have been sick all year round, so naturally I cannot compare with her in this regard."
The queen choked.
She actually forgot about this!
Although Chu Liuyue looks thin, she has some strength!
Chu Liuyue knelt down and saluted, very modestly:
"Thank you, Queen. Although Liu Yue's little effort is not in your eyes, it is an honor to be of help to His Highness Prince Li."
Queen: "."
If people like Chu Liuyue are considered "little kung fu", then what do those people who lost to her in the Qingjiao Association mean to them!
"What? Girl, you actually won the first place in the Qingjiao Association!?"
Ye Zhiting on the side suddenly spoke, with a look of shock on his face.
After he came out of seclusion, he had been busy dealing with the affairs of Jiuyou Tower, and he didn't have time to know anything else.
Sun Zhongyan chuckled:
"Uncle Master, I almost forgot that I haven't told you this yet. Liu Yue has indeed won two first places!"
Ye Zhiting opened his eyes wide, and it took him a while to realize:
"Where's the doctor that day!?"
Chu Liuyue said frankly:
"Master, I did not sign up for the Xuanshi competition."
"ah?"
Ye Zhiting was suddenly disappointed.
Although she knew that based on Chu Liuyue's level, she might not even look down on the Heavenly Doctor Competition of the Qingjiao Association, but after all, she was also his old man's apprentice.
She won two first places, but she had nothing to do with the Heavenly Doctor. It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed.
Sun Zhongyan held back his laughter and said:
"Uncle Master, although Liu Yue did not sign up to participate, the elixir that won first place was refined by Liu Yue!"
Ye Zhiting looked confused.
Sun Zhongyan explained the matter simply.
".So, from a certain perspective, Liu Yue can be regarded as winning these three firsts!"
Sun Zhongyan sighed and glanced at the queen meaningfully.
"And now, Vice General Mu of the Tianling Dynasty has also chosen Liu Yue and is very optimistic about her!"
The queen swayed.
She doesn't like the person Mu Qinghe likes, so isn't this causing trouble for herself?
"I am not—"
The queen was extremely nervous and wanted to explain a few words, but found that in this situation, continuing to dwell on this issue would only be detrimental to her.
She was thinking, suddenly thought of something, and asked:
"By the way, it seems that there are restrictions on every floor of the Nine Nether Tower. King Li is weak, how can he get to the sixth floor?!"
