"What kind of trick are you trying to pull?"
Luo Yao glanced at Xiao Yan coldly, deliberately ignored him, and walked straight towards the palace gate.
As soon as she took a step, her wrist was grabbed by Xiao Yan.
"Are you threatening me?" Xiao Yan's voice was as cold as ice, and he had reached the critical point of patience.
She didn't reply, but tried hard to break free from his restraints, but to no avail, she said lukewarmly, "Let me go."
"Luo Yao, this king's patience is limited, you'd better not make trouble."
She sneered coldly and raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yan, "What a coincidence, my patience is also limited. I don't want to go back to Prince Li's Mansion with you now. I want to go back to the palace to find the Queen Mother."
"Do you really think that the Queen Mother is looking for you and can be your backer?"
That was his biological mother, and he knew the Queen Mother best.
The Queen Mother only wanted to protect Luo Yao because she was the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter and the Queen was the matchmaker herself, so she didn't want the Prime Minister and Queen to look too ugly.
Did she really think that the Queen Mother would protect her at all times and not trust her own son?
ridiculous!
Luo Yao smiled and sneered, "Then let go of me and I'll go ask the Queen Mother for confirmation."
"You..." Xiao Yan was so angry that he was itching his teeth, "You don't understand what it means to see through but not speak out? Do you have to tell the truth and make it difficult for everyone?"
"don't know."
"..."
She added with a laugh: "I just know what I want to say, and I say it."
As the genius head of an ancient martial arts family, she is a star-studded presence wherever she goes. When she frowns, the entire family and even the academic world will tremble.
Even though she came to this strange dynasty, the natural arrogance in her bones would not disappear due to the predicament in front of her.
Xiao Yan increased the force on his hands, wishing to crush her bones.
She tried to break free from Xiao Yan's hand again, but failed.
The remaining poison in this body was not cleared away, and she was completely unable to use force, making her lose to Xiao Yan at every turn.
She must remove the remaining poison from her body as soon as possible!
She gave up her struggle, curved her brows and changed her tone to a teasing tone, "Your Majesty, you hold my hand wherever you go. How much do you like me? Aren't you afraid that your sweetheart will be sad if you do this?"
"Stop being so sentimental!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan was annoyed, she deliberately moved closer and said, "Your body movements are more honest than your mouth."
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at her and warned in a cold voice: "Don't embarrass yourself here and go back with me quickly."
"It's okay if I go back, then you apologize to me." Luo Yao raised her eyebrows at him.
He is the God of War in Xilin. He has made countless military exploits for Xilin. He is the protector in the hearts of the people and the proud son of heaven.
Make him apologize!
Tired of living?
Seeing that Xiao Yan was indifferent, Luo Yao continued: "If you don't apologize, then I will go to the palace to find the Queen Mother. I think the Queen Mother is in a good mood today. If I say something to make the Queen Mother unhappy, she will get sick again..."
"sorry!"
Xiao Yan's cold words interrupted her subsequent words.
The Queen Mother has been tortured by illness these years. He has not seen the Queen Mother so happy for a long time. In order to make the Queen Mother happy for a while, he endured it!
A real man can bend and stretch, and there is no shame in compromising for the sake of his mother!
Hearing this, Luo Yao raised her chin with satisfaction, "Let's go back home."
…
Leave the palace and abandon the courtyard.
Luo Yao handed the Queen Mother's reward to Xiangxue, "You pick some jewelry and pawn it on the street, exchange the money for some people to clean up our yard, and buy some daily necessities. This will be our home from now on." "
This abandoned courtyard has two front and back doors. The front door is in Prince Li's Mansion, and the back door leads to the street, making it easier for her to go out.
This yard is larger than her previous one, and it is a good place to live and settle down.
After all, she had already married to Prince Li, and she couldn't go anywhere until she divorced Xiao Yan. She couldn't treat herself badly while she was away from Prince Mansion.
Xiangxue happily took the jewelry and cloth, and asked doubtfully: "Princess, why did you go out and bring back so many good things? Where did they come from?"
"Rewarded by the Queen Mother."
Hearing this, Xiangxue's face immediately changed, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "How can we pawn something given by the Queen Mother? If the Queen Mother finds out, we will all be held accountable."
The rewards in the palace are all recorded. If they are discovered on the market, Luo Yao will not be able to escape the blame. How dare Xiangxue pawn them.
"So troublesome?"
She originally thought she could hold these things and improve her current predicament, but in the end she thought too much.
She waved her hands dejectedly, "That's all, put your things away first!"
"yes."
Xiangxue carried her things and took Luo Yao into the house.
"Don't worry, Princess. I have used my savings to quietly go out and buy some things. We can still survive for a while."
Luo Yao entered the house and saw that her room had been tidied up by Xiangxue, and all daily necessities were available.
Although they are all worthless items, they are still better than nothing.
"I've spent a lot of money on you, please write down the expenses first, and I will repay you double the amount someday."
Xiangxue put away the reward from the Queen Mother, turned around and came to Luo Yao with a smile, "This slave's life was given by the Madam. I should take good care of the Princess to repay Madam's kindness."
Xiangxue was brought back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Luo Yao's mother Lan Qin on a freezing day. From then on, she became Luo Yao's personal maid.
She is several years older than Luo Yao. After Lan Qin passed away, she was the one who took care of Luo Yao in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But in the past, Luo Yao was weak and incompetent. She didn't dare to resist when her stepmother deducted her food and clothing expenses, and refused to listen to Xiangxue's advice. In the end, she was despised by the prime minister and ignored her.
If she hadn't been married to Prince Li's Mansion, she would still be secretly being squeezed out by her stepmother and concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Yao said.
Xiangxue smiled and shook her head, "As long as the princess is safe, whatever I do is worth it."
"Xiangxue, you have to remember that you are an independent person. You have already repaid your kindness to my mother. You have to live for yourself."
Xiangxue looked at her with confused eyes, "Princess, you seem to be different from before."
Forehead……
Her brain was working rapidly and she blurted out, "Our current situation is different from before, and naturally it cannot be the same as before."
Xiangxue nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions.
In the blink of an eye, night fell. The midsummer night was not only hot and bothersome, but there were also annoying mosquitoes. Xiangxue lit mosquito repellent incense for Luo Yao.
Seeing that Luo Yao was tired, Xiangxue walked to her side lightly, "It's getting late, Princess, please rest first!"
"You should go down and rest too!"
"It's hot here, please stay here and fan yourself for the princess."
She waved her hand, "No! I can't sleep if someone is watching."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Xiangxue had no choice but to resign.
Luo Yao lay on the bed tossing and turning for an hour. She was too hot to sleep, so she simply got out of bed and walked out of the room, looking for a cool place to cool off.
In the middle of the night, the Prince Li's Mansion was completely silent. She opened the door of the abandoned courtyard and wandered around the mansion under the bright moonlight.
Passing by a courtyard inadvertently, a cool breeze blew from the courtyard onto her body, instantly dissipating the heat around her.
What is this place?
She looked around and saw no one was around, so she quietly opened the courtyard door and walked straight in.
The further inside it became, the cooler it became. She forgot where she was and continued to pursue the coolness.
She pushed open the door that was ajar in front of her, and the cool breeze blew up the gauze in front of her. A naked man with a flushed face was soaking in the huge bathtub.
Seeing the man's face clearly, she suddenly came to her senses, turned around and was about to run away.
At some point, the man came up from behind her from the bath and put his long, hot arms around her waist...
