"Your Majesty, what do you mean by calling us here?" Shangguan Mingyue put down her tea cup and asked directly.
"I haven't seen you for many days. Miss Mingyue's appearance has become more and more exciting." Li Rong did not answer, but showed a strange smile, looking up and down at Shangguan Mingyue's pretty face and graceful figure, "How do you say that? ? By the way, it’s called ‘This girl should only exist in the sky and can only be heard of in the human world’. It’s the most appropriate way to describe Miss Mingyue.”
"My lord, you also know that Tong is a businessman. He doesn't know anything about poetry and books. He only focuses on money." Shangguan Tong stroked his beard gently, and the displeasure in his eyes flashed away, "If If I don’t understand what the ‘big deal’ you are talking about is, I’m afraid I will be itching all the time and be unable to sleep at night.”
"Master Shangguan, don't be anxious. Good tea is rare. Let's drink this cup first and then talk." Li Rong still didn't reply. He raised the cup and took a sip, pretending to be mysterious and urging everyone to drink tea.
Come to think of it, he wouldn't dare to poison me, would he?
Looking at the clear and transparent tea in the cup, Shangguan Tong hesitated for a moment, but finally took two more symbolic sips.
Master Feng was not as cautious as him. He directly picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
For Mr. Lingzun, most poisons in the world cannot kill him immediately. Even if the tea is really poisonous, he is fully confident that he can kill Prince Yi before the poison is released.
Furthermore, although the two parties had no friendship, there was no conflict. No matter how they considered it, neither of them felt that Li Rong would risk his life by tampering with the tea.
Only Shangguan Mingyue made no secret of her rejection of Li Rong and put the tea cup aside without even picking it up again to pretend to take a sip.
"Miss Mingyue, is it possible that this 'Yu Wu Tea' by this king is not to your taste?" Li Rong was not annoyed, but asked kindly, "Do you want me to ask someone to change the tea?"
"Mingyue doesn't like drinking tea." Shangguan Mingyue shook her head and flatly refused, "My lord, don't bother."
Being disliked so obviously, Li Rong finally lost his temper, and there was a faint look of embarrassment on his face.
"This girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child. Please forgive me for any rudeness." Upon seeing this, Shangguan Tong came out to smooth things over and said, "After returning home, Tong will discipline her strictly."
"Sister Mingyue is frank and innocent, she is very cute." Li Rong's face softened a little, and he laughed twice, "I don't even have time to appreciate her, so how can I be angry?"
Just like when he faced Jiang Yu's poem, he unknowingly changed the title from "Miss Mingyue" to "Sister Mingyue".
Shangguan Mingyue frowned and was about to start a fight, but suddenly she caught a glimpse of her father quietly waving his fingers, and then he managed to hold back his anger.
After all, she is the daughter of a businessman. She has been out and about all year round, dealing with all kinds of people. It is said that she has an all-round personality. However, she doesn't know if it was because the prince's behavior was so bad that she felt disgusted, which led to her having a worse reputation than Li Yan. The second prince, who was even more miserable, didn't have much affection for him.
"I've drank the tea. Is it time for the prince to get down to business?" Shangguan Tong put down the teacup and said softly.
"Master Shangguan, what do you think of the current situation?" Li Rong asked seriously, his expression slightly calmer.
"Although the Xiao family rebelled first and Fulong invaded later, fortunately, our Emperor Daqian was wise and had many heroes. We were able to overcome all the difficulties without any danger." Shangguan Tong never thought that this idiot prince would have any chance. After pondering this question for a moment, he replied cautiously, "Today's Daqian has solved internal and external troubles. It can be said that it has been reborn from the ashes and is prospering. It will definitely be better than before."
As an experienced businessman, he certainly knew what to say and what not to say to people in the royal family, but he did not mention a single word about the prince's perverse behavior.
"Master of the Shangguan family, I think so too." Li Rong nodded in agreement, and then changed the topic, "It's just that in my opinion, after experiencing the Xiao family rebellion, the border war and the prince's rebellion, my father is mentally and physically exhausted. , the energy is no longer what it used to be, and I am afraid that I may be tempted to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy."
The faces of Shangguan Tong, his daughter, and Master Feng all changed. They did not expect that Li Rong, as the current prince, would dare to openly predict Li Jiuye's abdication in front of outsiders.
It should be noted that in the imperial capital, there were many officials and dignitaries who noticed that Li Jiuye was in poor condition. However, speculating in his heart and saying it in front of others were completely different things.
After all, the relationship between Shengyu Trading Company and Prince Yi's Mansion is far from that close.
"My lord, be careful what you say!" Shangguan Mingyue's face sank and she scolded sternly.
"Everyone is aware of my father's condition and knows it well." Li Rong smiled slightly and didn't care at all, "Why should sister Mingyue deceive herself?"
"Not to mention whether His Majesty has such thoughts." Shangguan Tong suddenly regretted being invited, and already had the idea of leaving in his mind, he said casually, "What does this matter have to do with our 'Shengyu Trading Company'? "
"'Shengyu Trading Company' is actually the number one trading firm in Daqian, so how can it not care about the succession of the emperor?" Li Rong's words became more and more unsubtle, "Master of the Shangguan family, to tell you the truth, if my father really has this intention, I mean, I intend to fight for that throne."
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of Shangguan Tong and the others suddenly surged, and they could hardly believe their ears.
"With the prince's strength and popularity, if you want to sit on that throne, unless your majesty and all the ministers in the court are mad, otherwise..." Shangguan Mingyue sneered and said sarcastically.
"What Sister Mingyue said is true. With my current capital, I am indeed beyond my capabilities." Being ridiculed by a woman in front of his face, Li Rong was not angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "But...isn't this the case with you guys?" What?"
"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Tong slapped the table and stood up suddenly, "Tong is just a businessman. It is inconvenient to participate in such important national affairs, so I will say goodbye!"
"The head of the Shangguan family will stay." Li Rong tried to dissuade her, "As long as your Shangguan family is willing to support me in seizing the throne, on the day when I ascend the throne, I will make Sister Mingyue my queen and take charge of the harem, and my mother will honor the world. How about that?"
"Not to mention whether your Majesty has the intention to abdicate." A flash of anger flashed in Shangguan Tong's eyes, and his voice was no longer as gentle as before, "Even if you really have this intention, we cannot control who will inherit the throne. Your Majesty still has nothing to do with it. It’s better to look for trouble!”
"We are both the legitimate sons of our father, so the head of the Shangguan family doesn't think so highly of me?" Li Rong said reluctantly.
"That's all I've said, I'll be honest." Shangguan Tong said loudly, "Compared to Prince Wu, the prince is still far behind..."
The words stopped midway, but they stopped inexplicably.
I saw a strange light flashing in Shangguan Tong's eyes, his body stagnated, and he stopped for some reason.
And the same light also appeared in Master Feng's eyes.
"Dad, Mr. Feng, let's get out of this damn place quickly." Shangguan Mingyue didn't know why, and urged in a sweet voice, "I don't want to stay any longer."
At this time, Master Shangguan Tong and Feng Zun's expression had returned to normal, but he still stopped where he was, neither speaking nor moving.
"Dad?" Shangguan Mingyue called again.
Shangguan Tong remained silent and ignored his daughter's call.
"Master Shangguan, from today on, all the assets of 'Shengyu Trading Company' will be transferred to my name." Li Rong's eyes flashed with excitement, and he suddenly said, "Please go back and complete the formalities immediately."
"I obey your prince's instructions." Shangguan Tong agreed to such a ridiculous and rude request very obediently.
"Dad, what did you say?" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Mingyue's face turned pale and she was filled with surprise.
"Mingyue, the prince has an order, how can you and I not obey it?" Shangguan Tong turned to look at his daughter, his voice was still full of tenderness and doting, and his speech and behavior seemed to be normal.
"You, you..." Shangguan Mingyue was confused, feeling that her father was extremely strange at this time, as if he had become a completely different person.
"Sister Mingyue, did you really not drink my tea?" The expression on Li Rong's face suddenly became strange.
"It's you!" Shangguan Mingyue still didn't understand that there was something wrong with this "Yu Wu Tea", her beautiful eyes were burning with anger, "What did you do to the tea?"
"What tampering?" Li Rong pretended to be confused and said, "What tampering? I don't understand what you are talking about."
However, the pride and joking in his eyes were already ready to come out, without any concealment.
"How dare you drug my father!" Shangguan Mingyue said through gritted teeth, "Aren't you afraid of the revenge of our 'Shengyu Trading Company'?"
"Retaliation?" Staring at Shangguan Mingyue's slightly frightened and beautiful face, Li Rong finally stopped pretending, like a gray wolf stripped of its sheep's clothing, and laughed loudly, "Now the entire 'Shengyu Trading Company' is the original one." King, who else will come to take revenge on me?"
"I will definitely not let you succeed!" Shangguan Mingyue's willow eyebrows stood upright, her phoenix eyes widened, her delicate jade hand swept from the right side of the red dress, and suddenly a long black pole about three feet long appeared in her palm, with the front end The circular tube hole was pointed straight at Li Rong's position.
"Master of the Shangguan family, please advise Sister Mingyue." Although Li Rong didn't know the sacred fire gun, he could still tell that it was a weapon. He was slightly frightened, moved his steps hurriedly, jumped behind Shangguan Tong, and actually used it as a shield. , and said with a smile to himself, "As a future queen, but she still carries weapons with her, isn't that what a lady should look like?"
"You...shameless!" Shangguan Mingyue raised the sacred fire gun and was about to take aim, but Shangguan Tong blocked her sight. She was so angry that her eyes turned red and she shouted loudly.
"Yue'er, don't be rude!" Shangguan Tong said, "Your Majesty is right, my daughter's family doesn't have to go to the battlefield, so what are you doing with all this trouble?"
Shangguan Mingyue didn't answer, but kept moving, trying to adjust his position to bring Li Rong into range.
However, Li Rong walked around Shangguantong very vigilantly, never daring to face her directly, and his awareness of life-saving was outstanding.
"Master Feng, take her weapon!" He dodged while giving orders to Master Feng.
"Miss, don't be naughty!" Master Feng nodded, and a powerful spiritual aura suddenly emanated from him, instantly covering Shangguan Mingyue.
"Clang!"
Shangguan Mingyue's delicate body froze, her limbs were weak, her right hand holding the iron rod felt loose, and the divine fire gun fell directly to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Mr. Ge’s medicine is really effective!
If we can find a chance to get Master Jiu and Lao San to take it too...
Li Rong saw Lord Feng obeying his words. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He unconsciously imagined a bright future in which the "No. 1 Spirit Lord of Daqian" and Prince Wu would bow to him.
"Dad, Mr. Feng, wake up!" Shangguan Mingyue had tears rolling down her eyes. Her body was so limp that she couldn't even move a finger, so she could only shout at the top of her lungs, "Don't let this despicable person The villain’s evil plan succeeded!”
However, Lord Shangguan Tong and Feng Zun, who had always doted on her and regarded her as the apple of his eye, had a normal expression and showed no reaction. He seemed to have ignored the miserable cries of the eldest lady Shangguan.
"Sister Mingyue, there's no need to shout anymore." Seeing that the crisis was over, Li Rong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and got out from behind Shangguan Tong with a smile, his little eyes narrowed into two slits, "This 'Blood Spirit Seed Powder' It is mixed with my king's essence and blood, and there is no cure in the world. No matter who it is, as long as they take one sip, they will be driven by me and will no longer be able to resist. From now on, the head of Shangguan family and Master Feng are just two people. The life or death of an obedient puppet depends entirely on my thoughts."
"I won't let you go." Shangguan Mingyue's eyes were red and bloodshot. Under the excessive anger, her originally soft and sweet voice was already a bit hoarse, "I will definitely never let you go!"
"Soon you won't think like this anymore, Sister Mingyue." Li Rong came to the table, raised the "Yu Wu Tea" prepared for Shangguan Mingyue, and slowly walked towards her, "Wait until you drink this cup of tea, You will never hate me again."
"You, you dare!" Shangguan Mingyue's face changed drastically and her voice trembled as she said, "Even if I die, I will not drink your tea!"
"Without my permission, you can't die even if you want to." Li Rong could no longer suppress his swelling mood. He came to Shangguan Mingyue with a tea cup in his left hand, and gently stroked her soft and smooth breasts with his right hand from top to bottom. Face, "Sister Mingyue, whether you are willing or not, you will become my king's woman, bear children for me, take care of my husband and raise my children, and the wealth of 'Shengyu Trading Company' and the strength of Lord Feng will also be taken away by me. Strong reliance on the throne."
"You're dreaming!"
Shangguan Mingyue spat hard. Li Rong had been pampered since she was a child, and the skin on the surface of her palm was not rough. However, when her right hand touched her cheek, she felt extremely sick, almost gagging.
"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Li Rong stared at Shangguan Mingyue's delicate and gorgeous face, feeling his mouth go dry and his heartbeat speeding up, "To be able to get such a beauty as Sister Mingyue, who is like a fairy descending to earth, is really a blessing that I have cultivated in my previous life! "
"Don't touch me with your dirty hands!" Shangguan Mingyue struggled hard, but still couldn't get rid of the spiritual pressure of Master Feng. Apart from yelling and scolding, she could only let the mermaid be fleshed out. There was nothing she could do. Two lines of crystal tears fell from her eyes. It slowly slid down the cheek, with a sad and helpless expression, like pear blossoms with rain, which made people feel pity.
"Even the angry look is so tempting." Li Rong chuckled, pinched Shangguan Mingyue's cheek with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and exerted force, forcing her lips to part slightly, and her mouth to open slightly, "Soon, you Your body and mind will belong to me."
After saying that, he raised his right hand and slowly brought the teacup to Shangguan Mingyue's lips.
don't want!
Even if I die, I will not commit myself to a despicable person like Li Rong!
Shangguan Mingyue had her cheek pinched, and she could only make a sound of "Ahhh". When she was about to curse, she couldn't even utter a word. She watched the tea cup in Li Rong's hand getting closer and closer, and she just felt I was so humiliated that I couldn't help but burst into tears.
"boom!"
Just when Li Rong was about to pour the tea into his mouth, the door was suddenly knocked open by someone from the outside, and then several figures filed in. Each of them had a strong figure and obviously had a lot of cultivation. !
The leader was actually a beautiful, dignified, and noble girl in white.
The girl's clothes are elegant and her aura is overwhelming. One glance tells her that she was born into a powerful family, but she doesn't have any arrogance in her body. Instead, there is a trace of tenderness and warmth in her bright and charming eyes.
"Sister Mingyue!" She glanced around and soon landed on Shangguan Mingyue and Li Rong. She was so happy that she couldn't help blurting out.
"Yi Ru!" Li Rong was startled when he saw the girl's face clearly, and his right hand that was holding Shangguan Mingyue's face relaxed.
It turns out that this girl who suddenly entered the scene turned out to be Shangguan Mingyue's best friend, "Princess Izumo" Li Yiru!
"Yi Ru, save me!" Shangguan Mingyue looked happy and shouted loudly, "Dad and Master Feng were drugged by Li Rong. Now they are unconscious and can only listen to his mercy!"
"What!" Li Yiru usually has a gentle temperament and does not fight or grab, but at the critical moment, he was not ambiguous. Hearing his best friend's words, he was just slightly startled, then made a decisive decision, turned to the people behind him and shouted, "Save someone. !”
Several figures shot out from behind her, as fast as lightning, heading straight towards Shangguan Mingyue and Li Rong, each of them exuding the aura of a powerful cultivator.
"Master Feng!" Li Rong was about to do whatever he wanted to the beauty, but his sister would interfere with his good deeds. He became furious and shouted loudly, "Kill them!"
"Yes!" Master Feng replied meekly, then jumped up and stood in front of the intruder. With a wave of his sleeves, small gusts of wind were formed around him, sweeping towards everyone, wherever he passed, A "chichi" sound erupted, and the power was astonishing.
Although the masters brought by Li Yiru were not weak, how could they compete with the big brother Ling Zun? Just when they were about to be hit by the wind, a blue figure suddenly flashed in the air.
The person raised his right arm and struck out with a palm, facing the terrifying wind released by the Wind Master.
