"Feng'er, be careful!"
Concubine Yu, who had always been calm and dignified, could not remain calm and stood up and shouted.
But it didn't help that she shouted like this. Lu Qingfeng was still caught. Lu Zhao showed no mercy and beat him until he vomited blood, and finally broke one of his arms.
Seeing the one-sided scene on the field, Lu Wuji propped his chin up boredly, his eyelids drooping, as if he might fall asleep at any moment.
"Your Majesty, we can't fight anymore, Qingfeng has already fainted."
Even Concubine Yu couldn't sit still when her own son was beaten, and couldn't help but beg Lu Wuji for mercy.
Lu Wuji said nothing, but turned his head and glanced at her coldly.
In an instant, Concubine Yu did not dare to call out anymore, and even sat back without saying a word. She just held her hands tightly on her knees, which proved that she was not calm at the moment.
After another moment, Lu Wuji waved his hand like a favor.
Qin You'an immediately stood up and said: "His Royal Highnesses the Second and Third Highnesses have lost consciousness. The competition is over. The final winner is His Highness the Crown Prince."
When Lu Zhao heard the voice announcing the end, he stood up and left the martial arts arena without any further entanglement.
When he walked off the stage, the backs of his hands were covered in blood, even dripping down.
Even his clothes were splattered with blood. He jumped off the court neatly, and immediately several eunuchs rushed up and pulled the two highnesses out.
Both men's faces were covered in blood and they were unconscious.
Lu Qingming's legs were disabled and he was hit hard by several wolves. His chest was bright red, most of which hurt his internal organs, and he vomited blood.
Lu Qingfeng's arms were hanging down. Not only had he received a severe beating, but his arms were also broken, making him look extremely miserable.
The scene was bloody, and every one of the concubines who were called over looked pale.
However, Chen Xueying sat the most securely. She just frowned with a look of disgust on her face, obviously disgusted with the smell of blood.
To be honest, the bloody scene this time was not as good as the fourth prince's courtesy last time, which is how miserable it was to be pushed by Lu Wuji.
Even though they princes did not personally participate in the battle at that time, the fourth prince's original wolf pack was forced to be beaten or even bitten to death. The kind of death that they watched helplessly was the most powerless thing.
This time everyone was beaten, but at least no one died. She believed in the strength of Lu Zhao's men.
Lu Wuji, who was watching the battle, couldn't possibly allow it. Lu Zhao had killed all the other princes, so the old pervert would have nothing to do with raising gu, and his son would be left with only Miaomiao. Not only could he no longer torture, but he also had to look forward to it. Don't die, otherwise no one will inherit the Lu family's empire.
Of course, it is also possible that Lu Zhao won this time, and she didn't care about the life or death of the second and third princes at all, so she didn't have much trouble in her heart.
"Wow--" and suddenly there was a sound of vomiting coming from the side.
Seeing that Li Fei couldn't hold it back, she lowered her head and started to vomit.
Chen Xueying didn't even need to turn her head to look, she already smelled a strange smell, her brows furrowed even more, and she immediately covered the tip of her nose with a handkerchief.
"Empress, Concubine Li has fainted."
Soon, another one fainted.
Chen Xueying turned her head and saw that Concubine Li's face had lost all color and she looked more and more like a female ghost.
When she turned her eyes, she met Xiang Bi.
This concubine, who had always had no sense of existence, now had eyes full of hatred, cold and vicious, like a poisonous snake, ready to pounce on her at any time.
Chen Xueying raised her eyebrows. She did not look away, but stared straight at him.
Concubine Xiang lowered her head, lowered her eyelids, and quickly put away her anger, as if the confrontation just now was just an illusion.
Chen Xueying sneered and looked directly at Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu did not look at her, but stared worriedly at the direction the second prince left.
Obviously Concubine Yu's qi-nurturing skills are better than those of Concubine Xiang.
But they will definitely remember the revenge of the prince's severe beating today.
It's just a woman, it's hard to take action against the prince after all, so this debt will probably be settled on her.
Lu Wuji, this old pervert, can really intensify conflicts.
Lu Zhao used beatings to retaliate and warn his brothers, but Lu Wuji invited all the female relatives over so that they could see it with their own eyes and bear the grudge in their hearts. He was afraid that the harem would not be stable in the future.
This year was not peaceful. Concubine Li was hung from a tree, and the prince was so angry that he beat the two princes seriously. When the court resumed after the annual holiday, the two princes were still lying in bed. , sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake.
"Lu Zhao, you have had enough of your prestige that day, but I don't know how much pressure I am under. The eyes of those two concubines almost pierced me. If looks could kill, I would have been shot through by now." As soon as Chen Xueying came back, she started to settle accounts with him.
Lu Zhao had already freshened up and changed his clothes.
At this moment, he was sitting relaxedly on the chair, holding a teacup in his hand and sipping tea.
He rarely felt like having fun, so he actually asked Hua Rong to pick several kinds of tea and brew them for him to try.
"Their sons were beaten to a semi-crippled state, and it's normal to have hatred in their hearts. But just after being beaten, no matter how much they hate themselves, they don't dare to act rashly. At least they have to wait until the injuries are healed before thinking about how to fight back. If nothing happens in the future, You should go to the palace less often, and even if you do, bring more people with you and stay in the East Palace. Those concubines who want to take revenge will not dare to come to the East Palace to make trouble."
Lu Zhao was obviously in a good mood, he talked more, and he had obviously thought of everything for her.
Chen Xueying curled her lips, obviously not believing it: "You said this, do you believe it? You will wait until the injury is healed before you will retaliate. You don't even think about it. People might have guessed your thoughts and took advantage of the opportunity. Just take a big bite and it won't be me who suffers. You are thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so you won't be afraid."
Lu Zhao stopped drinking tea and frowned slightly.
He was drinking someone else's tea and it was hard to refute.
After all, reason is reason, and those two people may indeed not follow the routine and attack unexpectedly.
Compared to him, a prince who was worth one to a hundred, he was indeed a wealthy prince and was more likely to be framed.
"What do you think the princess has to say?"
"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief the day before."
Lu Zhao's eyes flashed: "You want to bring down the two of them? Gu is not good at harem calculations. Gu only knows how to kill people. But killing them directly is too obvious. I'm afraid the emperor doesn't even need to investigate. The blame will be placed on you and me. If you have other plans, you can use the power of the East Palace at your disposal and let them obey your orders."
Chen Xueying sneered: "When I was in Dayan, I didn't even bother to use conspiracy and tricks. Most of the harem's secret methods are very dirty, and I am not willing to use them. If my hands are dirty, it may not necessarily achieve the goal. The purpose is to make the person who uses it ugly, jealous, and violent."
"I have sworn that I will never fall into such a dead end in my life."
Chen Xueying traveled through time and carefully thought about how to create a character. The first thing she eliminated was harem fighting.
She has also watched the Gongdou movie and TV series. As a bystander, she felt the excitement of the fight.
But she was very resistant to becoming one of them.
It's not that she's not good at it, on the contrary, she plays with a single mind in modern times, and she's not afraid of fighting her, and she even firmly believes that she can win.
But there is always a steelyard in my heart.
She can even get close to a cold-blooded madman like Lu Zhao, and she can live a comfortable life under an old pervert like Lu Wuji. She can deal with a few concubines without having to go through so much trouble.
"Yes, the Crown Princess has always been aloof, and they are not worthy of letting you take action." Lu Zhao nodded.
Chen Xueying curled her lips: "Tsk, why do I smell a strange yin and yang smell? I said you won't use those dirty tricks, but I didn't say you won't do it. You are on vacation recently, and while there are still a few days of vacation, Your Highness, please don't do it. You are busy working in vain, hurry up and train more wolves, let them obey my orders, and protect me at critical moments."
"I see that they are so brave, and they are much more reliable than your guards. Moreover, these wolves have already followed me. If there is any melee next time, don't bring them to the field, and just form another group. Team up.”
Lu Zhao took a breath, turned his head, and saw her face was full of seriousness. It was obvious that she really thought so.
"Do you know how difficult it is to train them to listen to you while still remaining wild?" The man frowned, showing a somewhat unbelievable expression.
To be able to let His Highness the Crown Prince show his emotions so clearly shows how outrageous her proposal is.
"Make a price." She said nonchalantly.
"This is not a matter of money, and Gu is not a shopkeeper you hired to come and go at your request."
Lu Zhao felt insulted by her dismissive tone, and he felt like a slave.
"Why do you feel so? We should at least be considered partners. I pay and you contribute. Isn't that how it was done before? You don't feel like a shopkeeper either. Why are you still doing this now? Are you devaluing yourself? Don't feel that you are not worthy of me. Although this is indeed the case, I do not dislike you. You have to stand up and get things done. We haven't even achieved a small goal yet! "
As Chen Xueying spoke, she raised a finger and waved it gently in front of him, obviously feeling very sorry.
Lu Zhao fell silent, and the familiar feeling came again.
Chen Xueying has such a mouth, whenever she opens her mouth, she will definitely be able to tell something, and at the same time she will step on him, and then praise herself, it is a whole mind control method.
If Lu Zhao were surfing the Internet in modern times, he would have known that this was definitely PUA, but he was an ancient person and just felt something was wrong.
"It's not a matter of money, it won't take a few days. I'm good at training wolves, but there are things I can't do. So what if you give me a mountain of gold? If you can't do it, you can't do it. Just give the money to the gods. , ask them to help you.”
He was obviously driven into a panic, and what he said seemed a bit like breaking a jar.
Chen Xueying frowned: "I have said before that the fear of difficulties should not be so serious. Nothing is difficult in the world, only for those who are willing. You say no before we have even started. Is this still the rumored omnipotent Prince of Northern Qi? You Have you been possessed by some coward?"
Lu Zhao took a deep breath and wanted to fight back, but the breath was quickly released and he couldn't say anything.
"Let's do this. I also know that this matter is difficult. If you can do it, the gold you owed me before will be written off." She was very generous, just throwing money all over the sky.
Lu Zhao was startled and turned to look at her, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"You just don't want twenty thousand taels of gold? For a pack of wolves?"
"Didn't you say that this matter is difficult to achieve? It's already reached the point of inviting gods. Why, it's not enough?" Chen Xueying rested her chin on her hand, still speaking in the same light tone.
Lu Zhao laughed angrily at her and said directly: "Yes, it's not enough. How much more can the Crown Princess give?"
Chen Xueying immediately raised her hand and waved her palm in front of his eyes.
"I'll give you two slaps, do you want me?"
"Don't push yourself too far. If you are unwilling, someone is willing to earn the money. At worst, I will go to the old pervert to discuss it. He should also have a good wolf trainer there. Just cooperating with him will be a lot of trouble and will cause countless worries. There’s no way to settle it with money alone.”
She frowned, looking worried.
Lu Zhao looked at her, and just as he was about to speak, he saw her turning her face away, looking full of disgust.
"Tell me why my life is so miserable. I thought that if I left Dayan, I wouldn't have to live such a miserable life. After all, Dayan relies on women to marry and marry to maintain temporary stability. But when I came to Beiqi, I won this victory. It doesn’t matter if you become the crown prince of the country, you have a perverted father-in-law above, younger brothers who are eyeing you, and a group of concubines who are staring at you."
"Originally, I thought that at least the husband I married was an upright man. Although he had a bad temper and was very bloody, he was at least pretty good to me. But I made a mistake. He was clearly the cause of the trouble. I paid him to settle it, but he still doesn’t want to.”
She looked like she was sighing, which made people's hearts tremble.
Lu Zhao was completely convinced and said quickly: "I'm going to train the wolf alone."
After he finished speaking, he walked away and stopped after taking a few steps.
"Also, prepare a place and take away your twenty thousand taels of gold."
Chen Xueying blinked: "Take whatever you want, that's your reward."
"Don't use your dirty money to insult me!" He said categorically, but his tone was too hasty and sounded like he was gritting his teeth.
Chen Xueying couldn't help but laugh out loud. What is this, His Highness the Crown Prince's final stubbornness?
She laughed wildly, but Lu Zhao walked away very fast, as if he was running away from here for fear of regretting it.
"You haven't spent all the money yet, so when will our small goal be achieved? As far as I know, in the previous war, the Northern Qi Dynasty defeated the large Yan with a small number. It was because your craftsmen improved the cannon. The barrel increases the range. Can’t you bribe the craftsmen and continue to improve it?”
"The range can be increased, and so can the power. One day, it should be easy to blow up the palace gate. Besides, training also requires——"
Chen Xueying lowered her voice and spoke softly.
If someone didn't know better, they would think that she was being so gentle and was talking about love.
But after hearing the content clearly, Lu Zhao turned around in an instant, ran back quickly, and immediately covered her mouth.
"You don't want your life!"
He was so anxious to come back that he almost held her in his arms, his voice was very low, and his tone seemed urgent, even slightly panting.
It was obvious that he was not tired from the few steps, but that he was made nervous by her words.
The two of them were close to each other, and he held her tightly in his arms, not only covering her mouth, but also controlling her body, as if Chen Xueying in his arms was not a weak woman with no power, but a capable woman. Like a banshee who kills without blinking an eye.
Chen Xueying struggled for a while, and Lu Zhao subconsciously hugged her tighter, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
She had no choice but to lean quietly into his arms, relax her body, slow down her breathing rate, and wanted him to feel her calmness.
Finally, Lu Zhao was sure that she was honest, and then he slowly let go of his hand, but his warning eyes were always fixed on her.
"You clearly know that the old pervert is very controlling, and if he is so loose and arrogant, he will send people to keep an eye on each palace." He lowered his voice and said angrily.
"Please, this is the East Palace, your territory. If you can't speak freely here, then in my opinion, you should stop being the prince and hang yourself as soon as possible. It will be faster to achieve your small goals by becoming a ghost!" Chen Xueying! He rolled his eyes fiercely and said disdainfully.
Lu Zhao also wanted to roll his eyes, but finally returned to his normal voice: "The Crown Princess is so cruel, she will die alone as soon as she opens her mouth!"
"I'm doing this for your own good. Instead of dying in frustration, it's better to hang yourself. At least everyone will praise you for your backbone. When you were alive, you were arranged by old perverts everywhere, but you chose the way of death. You win. one time."
"Aren't you very dignified? You don't even look down on my dirty money, but you like to make a living under him?" Chen Xueying raised her chin and said in a very unflattering tone.
Lu Zhao pinched his eyebrows, completely blocked and unable to say a word.
"I can't help you."
"Let go now if you can't help it!" Chen Xueying patted his chest.
Suddenly he felt that it felt quite hard, and his thoughts couldn't help but wander around. Lu Zhao's muscles really didn't grow in vain.
Only then did the man realize that something was wrong with his posture. The two of them were hugging each other and talking. Although they were talking to each other, they were so close to each other. In the eyes of others, it seemed more like they were rubbing each other's hands.
He immediately backed away and coughed lightly.
"Since you said so, I will accept it. When the results come out, I will tell you where the money was spent."
When Chen Xueying heard this, she felt even more comfortable.
Look, Lu Zhao is now enlightened and knows how to take the initiative to report the debt to her.
"Okay, I am waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince's account books."
Lu Zhao frowned. These words confirmed his identity as the big shopkeeper.
But now was not the time to look into it in detail. He finally left this time and rushed to the martial arts training ground to train the wolf for her conscientiously.
However, when he stood in the martial arts arena, he was always easily distracted. Several times, the fighting wolf rushed in front of him before he reacted and kicked him away.
"Tsk."
When the fighting wolf rushed over again, he immediately rode up and pressed it firmly to the ground.
"Sure enough, I didn't give you the wrong name. You really owe it to me. Gudu has asked you a few times, and you still slapped your nose in the face."
He patted the wolf's head and suddenly smelled a secret fragrance on the tip of his nose.
He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously searched for the source, only to find that it was his own palm.
It was obvious that he had covered Chen Xueying's mouth just now, and her lipstick was stained on his palm, leaving a wisp of fragrance.
When he sniffed carefully, he found that he also had a faint fragrance on his body, which was different from the lipstick. It should have been stained on his clothes when he held her in his arms.
It's just that I didn't notice it before, and my mind was completely occupied. Now I was blown away by the wind, and I became sober.
"Ouch--" The alpha wolf took advantage of his relaxation and jumped up hard, almost causing him to fall.
Lu Zhao immediately came back to his senses, suppressed it again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What kind of master, what kind of wolf did you raise? You are so proud of your favor, and you opened a dyeing workshop just for giving it some color."
After the annual leave, when he returned to the court, all the ministers had naturally heard about the prince beating the two princes until they couldn't get up, but no one dared to mention it.
Even among the two princes' henchmen, no one dared to say anything at this moment.
Even the leader was beaten to the ground, and they didn't dare to complain even if they were full of complaints.
Moreover, the emperor had agreed to this melee, and there was no room for them to comment. If they pointed it out in the court, they would be asking for trouble.
The atmosphere in the harem is indeed as Lu Zhao said, ushering in temporary calm.
Even though Concubine Xiang was overflowing with hatred that day, she did nothing, and Concubine Yu was even more so. Both of them were busy visiting their sons and instructing the doctors to take care of their bodies.
As a complete bystander, Li Fei suffered the most serious consequences. After returning, she fell ill again.
I heard that I often vomit and have nightmares. Unless the doctors prescribe some sleeping pills, I can have a good sleep.
Chen Xueying did not stay in the princess mansion all the time. On the contrary, she entered the palace almost every day.
In addition to going to the martial arts field to cooperate with the wolf training, she also often visits Fengzao Palace. The queen's health is actually better, and she no longer looks like she is leaving at any time.
Spring was warm and flowers were blooming. In early March, with Lu Zhao's efforts in taming her, the wolves finally had a tacit understanding with Chen Xueying.
Even the fighting wolf, who often went crazy and wanted to fight everywhere, was raised to be much more well-behaved, and even took the initiative to follow Chen Xueying to beg for food.
"Hey guys, run well. There will be a lot of meat waiting for you at the finish line!" Chen Xueying was sitting on the cart, holding the rope in her hand, but the cart was not pulled by horses, but by several wolves.
The low car she rode in was sketched by herself and made by a carpenter, just to match the height of the wolves.
In fact, she wanted to make a sled. After all, Alaska, the sled puller, is the descendant of wolves and dogs.
Alaska can pull cars so well. As their father, a purebred wolf must be even better at pulling cars.
It's a pity that spring is blooming and the snow has melted. Otherwise, it would be more enjoyable to sit on a sled. Now I can only experience it in a car.
These wolves are the triplets in the Wahaha team who have the best tacit understanding. It is also the easiest to train them to move in one movement and in the same direction.
"Walk!"
Sure enough, when she gave the order and shook the reins in her hand, the three wolves rushed out in an instant, heading straight for the finish line.
There are three pots of meat placed at the end, and the aroma is emitting at the moment, which is very tempting.
The three wolves, who had been fed by Chen Xueying, drooped their tongues while running, and saliva dripped all the way, almost to the point of sprinkling water.
They arrived at the finish line effortlessly, without pushing or swaying, making Chen Xueying's experience very comfortable.
As soon as they reached the finish line, they didn't even bother to wait for someone to untie the reins, and just started eating hard.
When Lu Zhao came over, he happened to see this scene and couldn't help but close his eyes.
Although he personally trained the wolves with great effort, during the annual vacation, he didn't even sleep at night and trained the wolves there. In order to hone the wild nature of the wolves, he also didn't let them sleep.
He is simply more diligent than training his own wolf.
No, this is training one's own wolves, but the purpose is different. This time it is to train one's brave and capable wolves into Chen Xueying's cute pets. :,,
