Due to Xiao Shushen's order, the news quickly reached Tuoba Min's ears. The matter of Liu Churong before was the most powerful thing she said. Perhaps it was because the Mongolians were naturally not good at concealing their thoughts, and they were somewhat fearless, so they did not shy away from spreading the rumor.
"What you said is true!" Tuoba Min raised her voice, staring at the palace maid in front of her with wide eyes, seeming a little bit unbelievable, but then raised the corner of her mouth, "I didn't expect someone to be so bold. Concubine Liu was just executed, and she's flirting under the emperor's nose." She snorted lightly, but there was a malicious smile on her face. This was a good opportunity for her.
"In that case, let's go and see how thick-skinned that person is." He gently pinched the handkerchief and waved it in front of his eyes a few times as if with disdain, as if there was something disgusting in front of him.
Lan Xin hid behind the door and heard the conversation between the two of them clearly. Then a smile appeared on her face and she went back to report.
At this time, there were two people standing in Li Ruotong's yard, but because they were in the palace, they did not dare to make any joyful movements.
"Why are you so reckless today that you actually ran straight into my yard? If others saw this, I'm afraid there would be some trouble." Li Ruotong frowned and glared at Lin Feng coquettishly. Her slightly pouting lips were as pink as peach blossoms, making people unable to resist kissing her.
Lin Feng scratched his head a little embarrassedly, his face flushed a little, but fortunately he had been in the border area all this time, so his face was not very pale and nothing could be seen. "Ahem, today I was indeed too anxious, after all, I haven't seen you for many days..." At this point, he lowered his head even more, and it seemed that he couldn't say any more.
Instead, the woman in front of him laughed coquettishly, "Haha, I didn't expect that your dull mind would finally come to its senses one day."
After saying this, he felt even more embarrassed. He was indeed not good at expressing himself before, but it was during this border trip, since he was seriously injured, that he felt the unforgettable longing for her for the first time.
If he had an accident, would he never see her again? That was why he was able to persevere through the hardship and never had the thought of giving up.
"You... Have you ever thought about me during this period?" He simply gritted his teeth and spoke out his thoughts, staring at her with burning eyes.
Now it was Li Ruotong's turn to feel shy. She didn't expect him to be so blunt. "You... I..." Even her words were not fluent.
At this moment, sounds of quarreling were heard at the gate of the courtyard.
"You bold and shameless slave, how dare you block my way? Don't you want to live?" The voice came from Tuoba Min. Her eyes and eyebrows were raised, and her state at this moment was completely different from her usual weak and gentle appearance. She was exactly like another Liu Churong.
"Hey, what's wrong with Concubine Min today? I didn't expect that she could be so angry. She is just like Concubine Liu." Li Ruotong walked towards the source of the voice, covering her face with a handkerchief and showing a sarcastic smile, "I don't know when a little noble lady can casually call herself this palace, and even arbitrarily decide other people's life and death. As far as I know, the emperor is the only one in the world who has the right to decide life and death at will."
Tuoba Min was overshadowed, with some resentment in her eyes, but her attitude softened all of a sudden, "What do you mean, sister? Do you think that my status is too low and I am not worthy of the position of the emperor's concubine?" She bit her lips slightly, looking dejected and about to cry.
But in her opinion, there was no trace of sympathy, "Hey, what are you talking about, sister? Is it possible that my words were not clear enough?" Li Ruotong responded in a strange voice, and Tuoba Min's face changed instantly.
The meaning of her words was not difficult to understand, but she was at a loss for words to continue for a moment. She could only stand there awkwardly with her brows slightly lowered.
But in the blink of an eye, she put on a serious look and said, "Why do you need to explain, sister? I know that you are so displeased with me because you saw me having a tryst with Guard Lin, so you want me to leave." Her pupils rolled, and she said something very intriguing.
But these words obviously made Li Ruotong's face turn pale. She opened her mouth hesitantly, but her peripheral vision happened to catch a glimpse of Fu Yuheng who was walking towards here. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
What should I do? If he saw it, would he blame me? After all, Liu Churong's incident had just happened. If she met Lin Feng at this time, would he think that they also had some other thoughts
Li Ruotong's silence and frown obviously made Tuoba Min's face look more proud. She had just seen Fu Yuheng's figure, so she behaved like that.
"Could it be that my sister guessed it right?" She pretended to be very surprised and took a few steps back. "Sister, what you did is extremely rebellious! If the emperor knew about this, I would probably end up like Concubine Liu. How could you be so confused!" There was a little anxiety in her tone, as if they were really sisters and she was thinking about her completely, but the meaning of her words was very misleading.
After these words came out, Li Ruotong wanted to cover her mouth. Once this matter came out of her mouth, it would be hard for people not to misunderstand.
"What happened?" Li Ruotong was about to speak, but Fu Yuheng, who had just walked in, took the lead and raised his eyes to give her an intriguing look.
When Tuoba Min saw him coming, he quickly saluted, "Your Majesty..." His tone was a little flustered, but his eyes drifted towards Lin Feng in the courtyard, "This..."
She looked like she had something to hide, which made Fu Yuheng raise an eyebrow. He had just heard what she said and came over. Now he wanted to see what tricks he could come up with. "But what's the secret?"
"Nothing... I just saw Guard Lin coming to my sister's yard..." At this point, she quickly made an expression as if she had just remembered something, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and shook her head violently.
Li Ruotong naturally knew her plan, "I..." But just as she was about to open her mouth, Fu Yuheng raised his hand to stop her.
"Are you talking about Guard Lin?" He frowned and looked at Lin Feng who was a little uneasy in the yard.
Tuoba Min twirled the handkerchief in her hand a little at a loss, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, "Yes." She turned to face Li Ruotong again, "Sister, although it may be disadvantageous to you if this matter is told, I really cannot deceive the emperor." It seemed that she had just made up her mind, and she spoke in a decisive tone, but there were more tears in her eyes.
