Chapter 118 Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind
The more Meng Ruoxi thought about it, the angrier she became. She grabbed Xiao Yu's ears and said, "You sold me for two bottles of Miao Lian! See how I deal with you!"
"Little... miss! Be gentle! It hurts!" Because of the pain, Xiao Yu's face was full of pain. She looked at Meng Ruoxi with tearful eyes, her eyes full of grievance, and her expression was like a pug dog. Feeling aggrieved, he looked at his master pitifully.
"It hurts? You still have the nerve to shout that it hurts?!" Meng Ruoxi saw her like this, and her teeth itched with hatred, "What, you are still wronged? What do you have to be wronged about?!"
Meng Ruoxi shook her ears away hard, with a look of disappointment on her face, and her tone was completely full of disappointment, "I really didn't expect this! The girl who has been raised by my side since she was a child, quietly Sold me out! In the end, I am no better than an outsider!"
Xiaoyu rubbed his sore ears in pain. When Meng Ruoxi said this, his tone was filled with disappointment for himself. He ignored the pain and quickly knelt down on his knees to admit his mistake to Meng Ruoxi.
"I realize my mistake! Miss, please don't get angry or get angry again."
Meng Ruoxi didn't pay attention to Xiao Yu anymore, but sat alone and sulked. There was silence in the room, except for Meng Ruoxi's slightly heavy breathing.
Meng Ruoxi sat quietly for a while, her breathing gradually stabilized, and the anger in her heart was no longer so heavy. She glanced at Xiao Yu, who was kneeling on her knees, and snorted coldly, "Huh! Since you already know your mistake, then..."
Xiaoyu felt a little relaxed after hearing the young lady's tone, and looked at Meng Ruoxi with lowered eyes, looking at her with hope. However, Meng Ruoxi's next words dashed her newly raised hopes, and she suddenly withered. Go down.
"If you make a mistake, you will be punished, but I still know your character, so I am willing to give you a chance to explain. If I am satisfied, then forget it. On the contrary, if there is something that makes me not If you are satisfied, you will never leave this house intact today."
When Xiaoyu heard what Meng Ruoxi said, he immediately lowered his head and pouted a little aggrievedly, thinking about how to explain, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out how to explain.
She didn't dare to tell the young lady the truth. If she told the young lady the truth, she might be left with nothing to eat.
Ever since she took a sip of Miaolian last time, she fell in love with its taste. This time, taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's birthday, she hid it from the young lady and even betrayed her appearance, secretly pestering the young master to ask him to ask for it from the King of Qi. Several bottles.
Although the young master took advantage of her, fortunately, she got her wish. She had promised the young lady before that she would keep a distance from the young master.
Just such a moment of thinking caused the room to fall into silence again.
"Ha!" Meng Ruoxi lost her patience in waiting and sneered impatiently, "What kind of ecstasy soup did King Qi pour into you? It has reached this point and you are still unwilling to tell the reason! I think you are really You damn duck has a tough mouth!" Meng Ruoxi's tone was cold, without any warmth.
"Thanks to me for treating you as my sister, and because you have been with me since childhood, I gave you a chance. Since you don't cherish it, don't blame me for destroying it!"
"Miss, you are trying to circumvent your life! This slave will never dare to do it again!" Xiao Yu quickly kowtowed and admitted her mistake, knowing that her punishment was unavoidable. She only hoped that Meng Ruoxi could see her again for the sake of serving her since she was a child. , don’t punish yourself too badly.
I hope the young lady will not kick me out, otherwise I will have to disobey the young lady's order, shamelessly put myself into the young master's mouth, just because I am afraid that the young master will get me easily and will not cherish him in the future.
"Hmph! Have you forgotten what you said to King Qi before? A dog can't change its habit of eating shit! If I spare you this time, you will definitely have a next time!"
After Meng Ruoxi finished speaking, when I saw Xiao Yu's pitiful appearance, I felt pity for him and felt soft in my heart. After all, she had grown up with her. Once this thought emerged, it never dissipated, and the thought of giving her a long memory also faded away.
Of course, although I thought so in my mind, I didn't soften my words, "You can't escape the death penalty! Since the mistake you made is not an unforgivable mistake, you won't be punished severely this time." You! But Qingrao is indispensable!"
Meng Ruoxi stretched out and yawned at the same time, "I happen to be a little sleepy, please kneel here and think about it carefully!"
Xiaoyu watched his young lady stretch out comfortably, yawning and lying down with a comfortable expression on her face, and felt entangled in her heart again, whether or not to tell her the truth!
"Miss!" Xiaoyu pouted and whined aggrievedly, hoping to make the lady soften her heart, but in the end, the only sound that came was Meng Ruoxi's steady breathing.
Seeing that the young lady had fallen asleep, and knowing that it was a foregone conclusion, even if there were ten thousand reluctances in my heart, I had no choice but to kneel down and accept the punishment.
"Hey!" Xiao Yu sighed softly and told the lady that he would probably be even worse off. Choose the greater of the two benefits and the lesser of the two evils. You will be punished anyway, so you should choose the lightest one!
At the same time, somewhere on a mountain road, a group of people were galloping towards the capital.
"Report to the lord, there is a flying pigeon delivering a message!" At this time, a subordinate whipped the horse hard, caught up with the leader, and reported to the leader.
"Hey!" The leader heard the report from his subordinates and reined in the horse hard, "Repair where you are and get the letter!"
The leader took the letter and laughed when he read the contents. "Hahaha! God is really helping me!"
"I wonder why this letter makes His Highness so happy!" Ji Taimei heard him laughing and stepped forward to ask.
"Hahaha!" The leading man did not immediately answer Ji Taimei's question, but continued to laugh, "Brother Ji, you better read it yourself!" He stopped laughing and handed the letter in his hand to Ji Tai fell asleep.
Ji Taimei took the letter and was instantly overjoyed after taking a look at it. "Your Highness, it seems that things are going very smoothly. The only news left is the news from Mr. Tao."
"Yes, as long as Tao Pengju integrates all the merchants in Jinling City and becomes the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, he will have countless money. Now we need soldiers and territory, and the only thing missing is money.
Although I can now rely on the imperial court to raise troops for me, I am not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. If our plan is exposed, we can still use Tao Pengju to make money for us to continue to implement the plan. "
"But..." Ji Taimei hesitated a little, not knowing whether he should say this. Seeing His Highness indicating that he should continue, Ji Taimei lost his scruples, "But a few days ago, Tao Pengju sent a letter, and the letter mentioned We have arrived at the Xue family, and now the Xue family is the only one that has not yet been taken into our hands. I wonder if I should urge Tao Pengju to speed up his progress?!"
The person called His Highness waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It's okay to stay quiet for a while. The matter in the letter has attracted the attention of the court. It will be the Empress Dowager's birthday soon. Although the entire court is now concerned about this matter. Things are busy and the Emperor has no time to take care of this matter, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be dealt with after the birthday.”
"Besides, the Xue family still has some background. Even if we ask him to speed up his progress, I'm afraid he won't be able to succeed in an instant. Now is a troubled time, so we still need to send a message to remind him that he must not rush forward and be careful. , don’t be too ostentatious!”
After the leader finished speaking, he snorted indifferently and showed no regard for Tao Pengju's womanly behavior. His eyes were full of contempt, "It's really hopeless. You even dream of taking advantage of the Xue family's wealth and beauty." Come on, if the Tao family wasn't still useful to me, how could I let him delay like this!"
"Hahaha!" Ji Taimei heard what he meant and complimented with a smile: "Your Highness, not everyone can have the courage of a strong man to slit his wrists like you."
"Although the dream girl is not a queen, she can still be considered a beauty. Moreover, she is the daughter of the left prime minister. Coupled with her unworldly temperament, she is also a fairy-like beauty. !" Ji Taimei's face was full of flattery and compliments, "Such a beautiful person is discarded like dregs. I really admire Ji Taimei!"
"Hmph!" Hearing that he mentioned Meng Ruoxi, the smile on the second prince's face froze, and his eyes became colder. The second prince snorted coldly, "It's just a bitch. What kind of woman won't wait for me to win the throne?!"
Thinking of the personal belongings that were originally his own being taken over by others, being played with wantonly, and possibly even damaged, the second prince now wanted to kill their adulterous couple with a thousand knives.
"Ah! Bi Yuntao, if I don't kill you, I will never be a human being!" The second prince roared angrily, clenched his fists, and with a terrifying punching wind, he punched the tree trunk hard.
"Your Highness!" Everyone stood up and looked at the second prince who suddenly went crazy in horror.
"If you dare to say this in front of this prince again, don't blame me for being rude!" The second prince ignored everyone and warned Ji Taimei coldly.
After the second prince warned Ji Taimei, he got on his horse, raised his whip, and shouted sternly: "Everyone, get on your horse and hurry up and hurry up!"
Seeing the second prince's frantic state and the chilling tone in his words of warning, Ji Taimei shuddered, mounted his horse dejectedly and hurriedly followed the people who had disappeared.
The cold wind was blowing, and in the lonely and deserted mountain, a sudden voice broke the silence in the mountain.
A century-old tree, like a decrepit old man, is swaying to the end of its life.
"boom!"
The century-old tree was broken in half due to the heavy load. If you look at the fracture at this time, you will definitely find a clearly visible mark the size of a fist.
The century-old tree broke on the ground. The huge reaction force made the earth tremble, and the surrounding area was even more in chaos.
After a while, the mountain fell into silence again, and a slightly abrupt piece of white paper slowly fell from the sky. As the white paper floated in the air, the words "White Lotus enters the world and advances together, everything is ready, only the east wind" is clearly visible. .
