Chapter 0051 Meeting
Once Princess Qingming entered the Xiaoling Mausoleum, Li Chengkong and his team's mission would be successfully completed.
He said to Fu Yuanhu who came over: "Brother Fu, I advise you to stay away from this princess. She has a bad temper!"
Fu Yuanhu smiled with a gloating look on his face and said, "I've heard that, Brother Li, you were sent here by Princess Qingming as punishment?"
The two men were close friends and spoke without courtesy.
Fu Yuanhu didn't know that Li Chengkong was sent in by Princess Qingming before. Later, one of his subordinates who was well-informed quietly reminded him.
He suddenly realized, no wonder Li Chengkong was not interested in Princess Qingming's arrival.
It would be the same if I were in her shoes. No matter how beautiful a person is, if she does such a cruel thing to me, I probably wouldn't be attracted to her.
Li Chengkong snorted, "I'm going back."
"Old Li, think positively. You are doing well now. If you don't come here, we brothers won't be able to get to know each other." Fu Yuanhu patted his shoulder with a smile.
Li Chengkong leaned over to avoid his slapping hand: "Get lost!"
Fu Yuanhu laughed out loud.
Li Chengkong returned to his own courtyard, and on the way back he was persuaded by Song Minghua and others.
Li Chengkong was in mixed mood, so he went to knock on Wang Ruoyu's door.
When he entered the room and saw Luo Qinglan's beautiful face, he sighed secretly. These stunning beauties are all very mean and can hurt people.
"Madam, I'm sorry to bother you." Li Chengkong clasped his fists and bowed before entering the yard. He came to the stone table in the pavilion and sat down opposite Wang Ruoyu.
Wang Ruoyu was drinking tea leisurely, with white steam curling up and the fragrance of tea filling the air. Combined with the faint fragrance of Luo Qinglan's body, the pavilion was filled with a charming atmosphere.
Luo Qinglan handed him a cup of tea, sat down next to Wang Ruoyu, and said with a smile: "I thought you, Chengkong, would never come here again."
Li Chengkong smiled embarrassedly: "I was indeed hurt by my wife, and I am just recovering now."
This kind of knot in the heart needs to be spoken out. The longer you don't speak up, the deeper the grudge will be.
Luo Qinglan smiled brightly, radiantly, lighting up the small pavilion.
"Are you upset because the princess is coming?" Wang Ruoyu put down the teacup and said slowly.
Li Chengkong nodded.
"Why, you still hate her?"
"I have a very good memory. I can't get that scene out of my mind."
"But you can't do anything about it, so you're angry?"
Li Chengkong remained silent.
"Isn't she beautiful?" Luo Qinglan chuckled.
"She is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you, madam. What's the use if her heart is not beautiful!" said Li Chengkong.
"You men are all lustful." Luo Qinglan said with a smile: "As long as a woman is beautiful, everything is good. I am not as good as Princess Qingming. Can't such beauty reduce the hatred in your heart?"
Li Chengkong sighed and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Chengkong, to be fair, Princess Qingming is indeed not a bad person." Wang Ruoyu said, "She is not the kind of person who kills without blinking an eye. However, the royal family's golden branches and jade leaves cannot be judged by ordinary people. To ordinary people, they are considered cruel and ruthless, but to the princes and princesses, they are already kind and merciful."
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "So, I should thank the princess for not killing me?"
Planting vegetables in the Xiaoling Mausoleum means losing all hope and ruining one's life.
What's the difference between this and being in prison or doing labor camp ? It's just that life is a little better.
"If it were someone else, and it were true, you would be dead!" Wang Ruoyu nodded seriously.
Li Chengkong smiled mockingly.
The life of a eunuch is just like that of an ant.
"Madam, please get a jar of wine." Wang Ruoyu said, "Let's get drunk together with this boy."
Luo Qinglan smiled and stood up, then suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked towards the courtyard gate, chuckled and said, "A distinguished guest has arrived."
"Oh——?" Wang Ruoyu looked surprised.
The only one who came to find him in the Xiaoling Mausoleum was Li Chengkong. Apart from Li Chengkong, there could be no other assassin. Could there be such a blind assassin who would come to assassinate him at this time?
"The princess is here." Luo Qinglan looked at Li Chengkong strangely.
Li Chengkong immediately started thinking twenty times faster.
The surroundings slowed down, allowing him to think calmly.
"Do you want to hide?" Wang Ruoyu turned his head and asked.
Li Chengkong shook his head: "Forget it."
In what seemed like an instant, he had already thought it over over and over again, and avoiding it would make him seem guilty and sneaky.
Wang Ruoyu smiled and said, "Okay."
He stood up, walked out of the pavilion and opened the gate.
The red-dressed girl, Xiao Miaoxue, was about to knock on the door and had just raised her pink fist.
"Greetings, Princess." Wang Ruoyu clasped his fists and smiled, then stepped aside and asked respectfully, "Your Highness, please come in quickly. I am sorry for not coming here to greet you."
"How is Eunuch Wang these days?" Dugu Shuming stepped lightly into the courtyard, his eyes shining like pearls as he scanned the courtyard and saw Luo Qinglan and Li Chengkong in the pavilion.
Luo Qinglan clasped his fists and greeted with a smile.
Li Chengkong also clasped his fists and bowed.
Dugu Shuming waved her jade hand, without even looking at Li Chengkong, and said to Luo Qinglan: "Saintess, how are you?"
As far as she knew , Wang Ruoyu had encountered assassination attempts more than once or twice, but he was able to turn danger into safety every time, all because of Luo Qinglan, the saint of the Qinglian Holy Sect.
As the saint of the Holy Green Lotus Sect, she married a eunuch who had not yet made a fortune at that time. This shows her wisdom in judging people and her deep affection for them.
Dugu Shuming respected such a person very much and had frequent contacts with him when he was in Shenjing.
Luo Qinglan smiled and said, "It's still the same as before. Your Highness has lost weight."
Dugu Shuming smiled, and it was as if the snow had just cleared up, and the whole courtyard seemed to be brighter.
Dugu Shuming didn't look at Li Chengkong, but the three women around her kept staring at Li Chengkong.
Especially after knowing that Li Chengkong was a martial arts genius, he was very curious.
Xiao Miaoxue in red and Xiao Meiying in green found it strange. Aunt Su was not around at that time, otherwise she would have definitely persuaded the young lady to stop losing her temper.
Not only did they not try to persuade him, they were even more angry than the young lady. They had Li Chengkong beaten and then exiled to the Xiaoling Mausoleum.
That was because she had just been offended by a eunuch in the palace. The eunuch Xu Shengchang from the Empress Dowager's palace came to Concubine Yu with a domineering attitude.
The young lady was so angry that her face turned pale. However, she did not want to offend the Queen Mother because of Concubine Yu's situation, so she could only endure it again and again and was on the verge of exploding.
After talking with Concubine Yu for a long time, they came back and saw a young eunuch sweeping the floor and raising dust on them. They thought he was instructed by Xu Shengchang, so they got angry and punished him severely.
This is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and to establish the authority of the soft-hearted Concubine Yu.
Later, they found out that it was a mistake and the young eunuch was wrongly accused. But since the mistake had been made, they just let it go. Originally, this time when the young lady came here, she planned to say hello to the Shrine Supervisor and make the young eunuch's life easier.
But no one expected that this young eunuch was actually a martial arts genius. He not only joined the Xiaoling Guard but also the Xuntian Guard.
They stared at Li Chengkong and felt that nothing in the world could be more bizarre than this.
