Lord Qiu adjusted his mentality and said with a respectful smile, "Your Majesty has prepared some tea, and I would like to ask Your Highness to show you his face and let us have a talk in the hall."
King Li nodded his head, "Your Majesty is being polite." Finally he said a gentle word.
So, accompanied by Lord Qiu, Wang Li and his party went to the hall.
Qiu Anran followed at the end of the crowd, and she was even more terrified when she saw this scene—a woman in her husband's family relies on her natal family for support, and King Li doesn't even look down on her grandfather, so how can he treat her kindly? Furthermore, King Li never looked at her from the beginning to the end, even if he glanced at her from the corner of his eye. In the eyes of King Li, she was no different from these domestic servants. In Prince Li's Mansion, life is worse than death, and there will never be a bright future.
Thinking of this, Qiu Anran's eyes darkened and he was about to faint.
"Anran!" Jiao hurriedly hugged Qiu Anran in her arms, "Doctor, hurry up and call the doctor!" Shouted to the servant girl.
Qiu Anran slowly opened his eyes, his face pale as paper. "Mother, don't call me doctor, don't say anything, I... I'm fine." Standing up straight, "Mother, you go to the front hall to serve, I... I won't go, even if King Li doesn't care, I... I Go back to the room." After saying that, he broke free from Jiao's embrace and ran to his own yard.
It's not right for Jiao Shi to chase, or not to chase, and finally sighed and went to the front hall.
After all, if the daughter coaxes her in the future, King Li will not offend her.
Qiu Anran returned to her own yard, crying loudly and calling for Nanny Wang.
Grandma Wang is the nanny of the Jiao family. She lived with her son in the capital after she retired and returned home. Later, after Qiu Anran was sent back to the capital, the Jiao family brought Wang Nanny back to take care of Qiu Anran. She loved Qiu Anran very much. It's like loving your own grandson.
The elderly Wang Momo walked out of the room slowly, "What's the matter? Princess, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry, if there is anything wrong, Wang Momo will find a way for you."
When Qiu Anran saw Wang Momo, it was like catching driftwood in the sea. The two entered the room and closed the door, and began to study.
And the other side.
When Mrs. Jiao rushed to the main hall and was about to sneak into the crowd, King Li, who was chatting with Lord Qiu, suddenly raised his head and said, "This is the mother of Princess Anran, General Qiu. Ma'am?" The voice was not respectful, it was relaxed and flat as if calling the cats and dogs at home.
But no one dared to investigate Li Wang's tone, in other words, they wished they could hide in the cracks of the ground and act as a transparent person without being discovered by Li Wang.
Mrs. Jiao froze in place with an embarrassed look on her face. When she saw Mrs. Zhou glaring at her, she woke up from her fear, forced herself to calm down, stepped forward generously, and made a blessing for King Li, saying, "I have seen His Highness King Li .”
King Li smiled faintly, "Excuse me, half an hour ago, the general's wife said that this king is an adulterer, right?"
"Wow!" Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Who leaked the news? Even if it was a leak, why did it reach King Li so quickly? Is this King Li a man or a ghost
Lord Qiu and General Qiu were so frightened that they subconsciously stood up. Mrs. Zhou's eyes darkened and she almost fainted. Mrs. Jiao was also frightened out of her wits, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! It's my concubine's fault, Concubine... concubine..."
"Get up," King Li said before Jiao Shi could finish his explanation, different from the previous coldness, but much gentler, "It doesn't matter how you insult this king, but this king feels that we will be a family from now on. You insulted this king, didn't you also insult Princess Anran and the Qiu family by the way?"
After hearing this, Jiao became even more afraid.
Lord Qiu and General Qiu looked at each other. Naturally, they did not believe that King Li was so "reasonable". Now that they are like this, one is to give them a warning and tell them that the Qiu family will never escape the palm of King Li. , no matter what happened to the Qiu family or what someone said, it could reach King Li's ears almost instantly.
Another reason, I'm afraid... King Li has other reasons.
"My lord, it's my concubine's wrong identity, my lord, spare me!" Although Jiao's family is not as deep as men think, but a woman's sixth sense is very accurate, she can feel the maliciousness of King Li.
Hearing this, King Li suddenly raised his thick eyebrows, and narrowed his eyes suddenly, "Don't you understand what this king said?"
Jiao was stunned.
Lord Qiu held his breath calmly, "Mr. Jiao, step back."
"Yes." Jiao Shi didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly retreated to the end of the crowd.
King Li still smiled coldly and didn't take the initiative to say anything.
"You all, go down," Qiuhou said to the servants with a wave of his hand.
The Zhou family and the Jiao family stayed behind under the signal of Lord Qiu, but did not leave. The servants received the order and immediately retreated. They also closed the door for inquiries, and the officials personally waited outside.
In an instant, the room became much colder. Except for King Li and Eunuch Shao, who was serving him personally, only Qiuhou and his wife and General Qiu and his wife were left.
Lord Qiu cupped his hands, "Your official is stupid, please tell me clearly."
Zhou and Jiao were at a loss, they didn't understand what happened, General Qiu didn't fully understand, just because he understood the meaning.
After hearing Lord Qiu's words, King Li smiled slightly, "Master Hou is not only not dull, but also very transparent."
Hearing what Wang Li said, Lord Qiu Hou looked even more reserved and ugly, "Your Majesty is serious."
Different from everyone who was waiting solemnly, King Li picked up the tea bowl and held the tea bowl with both hands to play without drinking. Called 10,000 reinforcements. This king still remembers the kindness of Lord Hou, and also remembers that the Qiu family’s army has strict discipline and is brave and good at fighting. , is indeed God’s blessing.”
These words can be said to be a great compliment to the Qiu family.
But as King Li's words became more polite, Lord Qiu's complexion became even uglier.
"My lord, as you said just now, after we get married, we are all one family, not to mention An Ran and the entire Qiu family, even the Qiu family's army is your lord's. If you have anything to say, just say it." Qiuhou Lord said.
The others were horrified! Lord Hou, what does this mean? What do you mean that Qiu's army belongs to King Li
The corner of Li Wang's lips curled into a smile, but it was cold and without warmth. He nodded lightly to Eunuch Shao, and Eunuch Shao hurriedly took out something like letter paper from his bosom, and offered it to Lord Qiu with both hands, "Master Hou." He said respectfully.
The huge hall was dead silent, everyone was staring at the letter, but Lord Qiu's bad premonition grew stronger, and after a while, beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He reached out to take the letter, unfolded it, and when he confirmed the content on the paper, he not only screamed.
King Li, still smiling lightly, held the tea bowl and took a sip with relish.
Lord Qiu fell to his knees, "My lord! This... this... this..."
King Li took it slowly, "For so many years, Lord Hou has deducted so much military pay. Thinking about it, Princess Anran's dowry must be quite rich, and this king has taken a huge advantage."
