Chapter 245 The Silly Princess's Cunning
The place where the emperor summoned the Princess of Qin was not the imperial study, but the bedroom of Concubine Li.
The carriage that Luo Li was riding in was stopped outside the palace gate, and the privilege of the King of Qin and his wife to ride into the palace was revoked, which was considered a warning to her.
Under the guidance of a eunuch and two palace maids, Luo Li finally arrived at the Fushou Palace of Concubine Li Xianfei after her feet were sore from walking. A palace maid from the Fushou Palace led her in.
When the two palace maids opened the cotton curtain embroidered with gold and phoenixes, Luo Li adjusted her mood and the sadness on her face became even more intense.
After entering the room, she knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Concubine Xian."
Luo Li knelt anxiously, with tears in her voice, "Your Majesty, please help me! I beg Your Majesty to send troops to wipe out the rebels in Sichuan and Shu, and rescue my father from prison!
Wuwu... My father is so old and in poor health. How can he endure the torture in prison? Will those damned traitors torture him? Will they kill him? Wuwu... Your Majesty, please quickly issue an order to send troops to rescue my father from this dire situation! Wuwu..."
The emperor, who was gathering his strength and preparing to give the silly princess another show of power, was stunned!
Seeing the silly princess crying so sadly, heartbroken and heartbroken, the emperor's domineering and majestic aura, which was about to explode, unconsciously diminished a little.
The remnants of the Later Shu rebelled, and after capturing cities and territories, they arrested all the Song officials who refused to obey and put them in jail. Luo Ji, the prefect of Chengdu, would rather die than join the rebels, so of course he was also thrown into jail by the rebels.
After hearing the news, the silly princess cried and begged the emperor to send troops to suppress the rebellion and rescue her father, for the sake of her relatives who were imprisoned and whose life or death was unknown. The emperor couldn't reprimand her, right?
"Help the Princess of Qin up and give her a seat."
Two palace maids came forward quickly, helped the silly princess up, and helped her sit on a chair. Luo Li was crying with tears streaming down her face. Her arms were held by the palace maids, so she could only lean her head against the palace maid on the right and wipe her tears and snot on her clothes.
The maid felt disgusted but didn't dare hide. She could only curse the silly princess in her heart for her lack of etiquette and moral integrity. She felt sorry for her new clothes, which she usually didn't want to wear, and only put on this morning.
Luo Li sat up sobbing, and when her red and swollen eyes saw the plate of pears on the table, her eyes lit up!
"Oh! This pear is so big... It looks sweet, crisp and juicy. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." She picked up the largest one, wiped her tears, and started to eat it.
He sobbed while chewing the pear: "The pear is so sweet, but the bitterness of separation from family is as bitter as coptis... uh..." He burped and took another big bite of the pear.
Concubine Li was laughing so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She shook her shoulders and tried hard not to speak before the Emperor.
The palace maids couldn't help but laugh secretly. Although the emperor still had a sullen face, the atmosphere in the room had lost its gloomy and depressing feeling.
The emperor stared at the silly princess who was sobbing and chewing a pear with a sinister look. Was this silly princess cunning enough to use her father in prison as a shield, or was she really stupid enough not to know that she would face the interrogation after my suspicion?
"Princess Qin, why did the King of Qin take you to the front line?" The emperor's voice was full of majesty and coldness.
Luo Li swallowed the food in her mouth, and her red and swollen eyes revealed a rare shyness, "Reporting to the emperor, I want to see what the beautiful scenery of the North Country looks like, and I can't bear to be separated from Zhao Defang. It's very difficult to stay alone in an empty room.
I took my maid and the few shadow guards he left for me, secretly ran out of the city ahead of time, waited for him halfway, and after some coaxing and begging, he obediently took me with him. "When she said the last part, there was a hint of pride in her voice.
Then he felt wronged again: "Who knew that the north is so cold and the war is so dangerous? I didn't enjoy the good life in the capital but chose to suffer. I regret it so much. On the way back, I had nightmares every night!"
"Princess Qin, do you know medical skills?"
Speaking of this, the silly princess was very proud again, "Yes! People say that I got sick when I was a child and my brain was burned out, and they call me a fool, but I am very smart!
As long as I am interested in something, I will learn it. Ghost Hand Poison Doctor's medical skills are among the best in the world, so I forced him to teach me some medical skills. On the front line, I even treated the wounds of our Song Dynasty soldiers with my own hands! "Luo Li looked proud.
So that's how it is. Her medical skills were learned from the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor. Then the medical skills of the maids around her were also taught by the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor.
"Princess Qin, what happened to the powerful thunder bomb used by Mo Yunqi when he ambushed the Liao army's cavalry in Chenjia Valley?"
The emperor stared at Luo Li intently, trying to see into her innermost thoughts.
Luo Li's heart skipped a beat! The most terrifying problem had come. The emperor had actually known about the use of the thunderbolt.
The emperor stared at the silly princess, who put half a pear in her hand on the plate, and then she said excitedly while gesticulating and writing, "Your Majesty, the thunder bomb is a tin barrel this big, filled with large firecrackers, light the fuse, and throw it down the hillside!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." There was thunder and fire! The Liao army horses at the bottom of the valley were so frightened that they ran away neighing wildly, knocking over the Liao army soldiers and trampling on them, with ghosts crying and wolves howling to the sky.
At this moment, the elite Moyun cavalry soldiers ambushed at the valley entrance rushed over with bows and arrows and steel knives like little devils seeking their lives. After a hail of arrows, the Liao soldiers fell off their horses, and then, a cold flash of steel knives passed by, and the heads of the Liao soldiers were chopped off one by one like winter melons.
This was not over yet. Old General Yang Ye brought the 800 surviving Volcano Army warriors and rushed in with murderous intent. In order to avenge their dead brothers, the Volcano Army warriors were like killing gods who were ready to risk their lives. After rushing into the enemy country, they started to hack and kill wildly, killing the Liao army so badly that they fled crying for their lives!
The valley was littered with corpses of Liao soldiers and broken limbs, and the blood flowed into a blood-red river.
The elite Mo Yun cavalry and the brave warriors of the Huoshan Army chased the enemy and killed them wildly, chasing the Liao army for twenty or thirty miles before withdrawing.
I was on the hillside at the time, my legs were shaking with fear, but I couldn't bear to close my eyes and not watch. After all, such a thrilling scene of killing the enemy was rare.
However, I later suffered bad luck because of this. Every night when I closed my eyes, I had nightmares of corpses floating everywhere, broken limbs, rivers of blood, and ghosts howling. The ghost-handed poison doctor gave me tranquilizers for many days before I didn’t go insane with fear.”
Li Xianfei and the palace maids were all terrified and pale. The silly princess's description was too vivid. The screams of killing, the howling of ghosts and wolves, the flying of broken limbs and arms, and the blood flowing like a river appeared in their minds as if they had experienced it themselves.
Luo Li spoke lightly of the thunder, emphasizing the tragic, bloody and cruel battle scene, and then glanced at the emperor's reaction.
The emperor was silent and deep in thought, his eyes fixed on her turned elsewhere. Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she could fool around for the time being, the emperor would not embarrass her like a silly princess.
Seeing that the emperor remained silent, Concubine Li Xianfei broke the silence, "Princess Qin, from your description of the war scenes, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were truly heroes who bravely killed the enemy!"
"The Empress Xianfei is intelligent and virtuous. She is able to sympathize and care for the soldiers fighting on the front line. She is truly a benevolent and sensible concubine." Luo Li flattered the Empress Xianfei Li and made a subtle criticism of the silent emperor.
The emperor finally spoke: "My soldiers of the Song Dynasty are all brave and fearless men."
"Your Majesty is extremely wise! If the soldiers on the front line hear your majesty's praise of them, they will fight to the death even if it means blood on the battlefield, and their morale is high." Luo Li quickly flattered him again.
Finally, she used her extraordinary acting skills to fool people temporarily. Luo Li, with her underwear soaked with cold sweat, stood up and said goodbye, saying that she was going to visit her mother and Princess Yongqing.
