Chapter 277 Purple Buddha Mountain
Chapter 277 Purple Buddha Mountain
It doesn't mean that he is an unqualified emperor.
Quite the opposite.
The late emperor was a wise ruler.
During his tenure, the national treasury was abundant, and the country was peaceful and prosperous without any unrest.
If Liu Rong really allowed Liu Yi to touch the things in the national treasury.
If others accidentally find out about this, you will most likely be accused of stealing the country.
Liu Rong held the handkerchief and bit her lower lip, "No, you can't touch the things in the treasury."
I thought Liu Rong would agree to help me out.
I never thought that the other party would reject me directly.
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed.
Liu Yi turned his head away with disappointment in his eyes.
I realized that my reaction was too emotional.
Liu Rong hurriedly explained to Liu Yi, "The national treasury cannot be touched casually. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, you and I will be in big trouble."
After all, Liu Rong and Liu Yi are now assisting the new emperor together.
If something really goes wrong with them, won't they be asked to atone for their sins then?
Liu Yi suppressed his discomfort and finally bowed to Liu Rong and said, "The Queen Mother is right. I will leave the palace first."
Without waiting for Liu Rong to speak, Liu Yi turned around and left.
It seems that Liu Yi is angry.
The two are not husband and wife.
Even if the two have rekindled their old love.
But there are too many mixed feelings.
For example, the deceased emperor has always been standing between the two of them.
And there is also the son Liu Yueqi.
It's also like a chasm, a chasm that is difficult to cross.
Liu Yi felt insecure from beginning to end.
In his heart.
I always think that Liu Rong only has Liu Yueqi in her heart.
I devoted myself to Liu Yueqi.
In fact, it happened early in the story.
Liu Rong does still care about her son and her duties as the queen mother.
They will also think about the country.
But in the later part of the plot, Liu Rong was gradually blinded by the feelings between the two.
Gradually, Liu Rong began to lean towards Liu Yi.
But now Liu Rong still has some rationality.
More inclined to think about themselves.
If the two of them destabilize the country during their rule.
Then when the time comes, the unlucky ones will be Liu Rong and Liu Yi.
Naturally, Liu Rong was unwilling to use the national treasury to help Liu Yi.
But Liu Yi doesn't think so.
You need to know what he gave away and the money he spent.
But all of this is to pave the way for Liu Rong and her son.
If he hadn't been outside helping Liu Rong with everything.
There was no way Liu Yueqi could become the crown prince.
He will never become an emperor who is high above everyone else.
At the beginning, the clan members had always recommended that Liu Yi become the emperor.
But I thought of my beloved woman.
Liu Yi decided to give up the throne.
Let Liu Yueqi take the position.
Liu Yi said nothing.
But in his heart, he is the benefactor of Liu Rong and Liu Yueqi.
There was no extravagance or waste during the late emperor's reign.
It's just a mere two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Another thing is to choose some similar treasures and return them to Xianxian.
But even with such a simple matter, Liu Rong was hesitant and unwilling to help.
Liu Yi unconsciously began to think more about it.
Is the other party simply taking advantage of you?
Just to climb to the position of Queen Mother on her own.
This kind of thing cannot withstand speculation.
As long as he thinks in this direction.
Then there will be a rift between Liu Rong and him.
Watching Liu Yi leave with emotion.
Liu Rong was also angry inside.
Her starting point was for the sake of both of them.
But Liu Yi wanted to shake the country's foundation.
I didn't expect the other party to lose his temper.
It is very normal for couples to quarrel.
Even couples who have been married for decades will have a quarrel one day.
What's more, they have different opinions.
Liu Rong bit her lower lip and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, the palace maid beside her hurriedly spoke to Liu Rong.
"Your Majesty, it looks like the Regent is angry."
Liu Rong raised his hand, the armor on it was inlaid with gems.
It looks very eye-catching and exquisite, symbolizing her noble status.
She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "He's angry. Should I try to comfort him?"
"As the regent of a country, doesn't he understand his responsibilities?"
"Some things can be touched, and some things cannot be touched. I will not let him shake the foundation of the country."
This is a typical case of the knife not stabbing oneself.
It was totally painless.
Liu Rong didn't understand Liu Yi's difficulties at all.
Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.
Now that they are not husband and wife, there is no need for them to fly together.
But the palace maid spoke with concern.
"Your Majesty is still young, so he naturally has to rely on the Regent. Will your Majesty's behavior cause the Regent to feel resentful?"
Dissension?
Thinking of entering the palace as a concubine.
Become Liu Yi's sister-in-law.
But Liu Yi will still help himself.
Over the years, he has been going through fire and water for himself.
It's just such a small matter, would the other party still be so fussy about it?
Liu Rong still felt somewhat proud.
She gently stroked her cheek with her fingers.
Thinking about my beautiful and delicate face.
There was confidence in her eyes.
"It's okay. He'll calm down in a couple of days."
Hearing Liu Rong's confidence, the palace maid stopped talking.
Liu Yi has left the palace and headed straight for the restaurant.
Ignore the advice of his subordinates.
Drink one glass after another.
This is the rhythm of getting yourself drunk.
Xianxian has been sending people to keep an eye on Liu Yi.
I learned that he was out drinking to drown his sorrows.
I roughly guessed that the other party had quarreled with Liu Rong.
Meanwhile on another street.
In the Manxiang Tower.
Xianxian lifted the chin of the girl in front of her.
The other person is beautiful and charming.
A pair of sparkling blue eyes seem to be able to blink into other people's hearts.
She bit her lower lip delicately.
Even when facing Xianxian, she still exudes her charm.
More importantly, she looks very much like Liu Rong when she was young.
Sixteen years old.
Like a delicate flower.
It was just someone lifting his chin, but it had an indescribable temptation.
Manxianglou was a famous brothel in the capital, and most of the prostitutes there were from Yangzhou.
They are all frail and easily knocked down.
After special training, men can become unable to stop lusting after their bodies.
There was a hint of amusement in her slender voice.
"What's your name?"
Her fingertips gently caressed, causing the woman's delicate body to tremble slightly. She bit her lower lip with a look of lust on her face.
"My dear daughter."
"You are indeed spoiled, but you will be mine from now on. I will redeem you, but you have to be obedient, understand?"
There was mist in Jiao'er's beautiful eyes, and her voice was as sweet as an oriole, but it was filled with pleading.
"Sir, since you want to redeem me, can you take my sister with you?"
The madam at the side swung her handkerchief and cursed, "You cheap bastard, someone is willing to spend so much money to redeem you, why are you still talking about your own sister?"
Xianxian let go of her hand at this time, sat down and asked, "Sister?"
Hearing the meaning of Xianxian's question, the madam began to explain.
"This Jiao'er's sister is only five years old. She is a pure white-eating thing. It is not difficult to tell that if she is a beauty, I am planning to sell her to other places."
"It's not that no one wanted to redeem Jiao'er before, but they couldn't stop her from bringing a burden with her. A five-year-old child is useless, and it's a waste of money to buy something for free."
The madam was still a little angry when she said this.
Originally, she was planning to sell herself and quit her job, and return to Yangzhou to retire.
Although Jiao'er looks gentle and boneless, she is actually full of fierce pride.
In order to take her sister with her, she ruined several opportunities for her patrons to redeem her.
The madam was very anxious.
After listening to this, Xianxian just nodded and said, "Go and bring the child over. I'll take a look. If you like the child, take him away with you."
"Yes."
This little girl's younger sister just turned five years old.
He hid behind Jiao'er with a timid look on his face, looking at Xianxian with curiosity in his eyes.
I thought the child would be dull, but she shouted to Xianxian in a low voice.
"Mother."
I heard my sister calling Xianxian "Mom".
Jiao'er was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly raised her hand to cover the other person's mouth.
She even said to her sister, "Xiaoyun, don't yell, this is a noble man."
"It's out of the way."
Xianxian waved her hand and said, "Let her come to me."
The little girl was wearing a flowery jacket and was very fair and cute.
It is obvious that she was raised with great care. Even though Jiao'er fell into prostitution, she never forgot to protect her younger sister.
In such a filthy land, it is not easy to feed even a child.
Xianxian asked curiously, "What's your name?"
"Xingyun, sister calls me Xiaoyun."
Looking at the cute child in front of her, Xianxian nodded thoughtfully.
She was going to let Jiao'er do something for her, so naturally she wanted to find her weak spot.
Xianxian reached out her hand to tidy up Xingyun's hair, and then she smiled very gently.
"Come with me and leave. I will accept you as my daughter, okay?"
Xingyun threw himself into Xianxian's arms with shining eyes.
"Mother."
Seeing that her sister liked Xianxian very much, Jiaoer smiled while holding her handkerchief.
Xianxian gently stroked Xingyun's hair.
"I have never given birth to a child, so you will follow my surname Yuan from now on. Yuan Xingyun, since you are my adopted daughter, I will not treat you unfairly."
I saw Jiao'er kneeling on the ground excitedly.
"Thank you, my lord. As long as you can be kind to me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Xianxian hugged Xingyun and chuckled, "I won't let you go through fire and water. I just want you to do me a favor. I won't treat you unfairly after you succeed."
"The slave family is willing!"
"Okay, but you have to change your name and identity. From now on, you can no longer be called Jiao'er. You will be called Wanwan from now on."
"Thank you for the name."
At this time, Xianxian asked Lichun to hand the silver note to the madam.
She picked up Yuan Xingyun and looked at Wanwan and instructed, "Lichun will tell you what to do in a while, just follow the instructions carefully."
"it is good."
Now that everything has been arranged, Xianxian takes Yuan Xingyun away first.
She also had to go back to the palace and make good arrangements for Yuan Xingyun.
Liu Yi was drinking in the restaurant, and occasionally he would smash a wine bottle to vent his anger.
"Rong'er, do you have me in your heart?"
Liu Yi's face flushed as he stared at the mess on the ground, muttering infatuatedly, "Is it that you only have your brother in your heart? There is no me at all?"
"Why do you still want to provoke me? Are you trying to use me?"
"Rong'er..."
The master was drunk and mad inside, and the servants were sighing while standing at the door.
Just then a woman ran upstairs holding a pipa. Before the servants guarding the door could react, she pushed the door open and rushed in.
She was wearing plain clothes and holding a pipa, looking at Liu Yi helplessly.
At this time, there was a group of people downstairs, looking for someone with gritted teeth.
"Where's that little girl?"
"Did you go upstairs?"
Hearing the noise downstairs, the woman hurriedly looked for a place to hide.
At this time, the servants did not dare to act rashly.
You should know that Liu Yi had expressly forbidden them from entering the house.
The presence of a stranger in the room quickly attracted Liu Yi's attention.
He looked up in a daze.
Just happened to see the woman's delicate and gentle face.
Xianxian can find Wanwan.
It’s because the other person’s appearance is very similar to Liu Rong.
Just a little dressing up.
It's exactly the same as the young Liu Rong.
Today's Liu Rong still bears the traces of time.
Even though she took crazy measures to take care of herself, her body was still damaged after giving birth to a child.
She is definitely not as pretty as the sixteen-year-old Wanwan.
When the two first met, Liu Rong was the same age as Wanwan.
She was also dressed very simply, but her face was so beautiful.
Liu Yi suddenly raised his head and grabbed Wanwan's wrist.
There was obsession in his eyes as he stared at Wanwan.
"who are you?"
Wanwan was like a frightened rabbit, wanting to struggle but not having enough strength.
Before she could distance herself from Liu Yi, she was pulled into his arms.
"What are you doing?"
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Let me go, you lecher. I just want to come in and hide. You can't touch me."
Even Wanwan's voice is somewhat similar to Liu Rong's.
The drunk Liu Yi hugged her tightly, his heart in turmoil.
This beautiful face is extremely similar.
Liu Yi pinched Wanwan's chin and immediately wanted to act like a hooligan.
"Snapped."
Wanwan showed no mercy and slapped Liu Yi so hard that he saw stars.
"lecher!"
The slap brought Liu Yi back to his senses and he could clearly see the other person's clothes.
Then he thought that Liu Rong was the empress dowager and there was no chance for her to appear outside the palace.
He asked seriously, "Who are you?"
But he had no intention of letting go.
He held Wanwan tightly with both hands.
Seeing that she couldn't struggle free, Wanwan bit her lower lip.
"I just wanted to go into the house to hide, but who would have thought that you would hug me directly."
"Take shelter?"
Liu Yi was slightly stunned and asked, "Did anything happen to you?"
"Because I went to someone else's place to sing and play, I offended some hooligans. They chased me and asked for money. I refused to give it to them and had to hide in the house."
"Just now I saw that there were servants guarding your door, and I thought you must be of a special status, so it would be safer for you to hide inside."
Such a frank personality is more like Liu Rong when he was young.
Liu Yi couldn't suppress his excitement.
I wonder if it was due to alcohol?
Or maybe it’s because of the woman’s fragrance.
Liu Yi said inexplicably, "I can help you solve these problems, but the prerequisite is that you follow me."
"Follow you?"
Wanwan didn't know what she was thinking about, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she subconsciously bit her lower lip.
Watch the other person bite his lower lip.
There was a deep meaning in Liu Yi's eyes.
Such a subconscious little action.
I never thought that I would be so similar to Liu Rong.
The two have known each other for more than ten years, and Liu Yi is still very familiar with some of Liu Rong's little habits in his movements.
He put his arm around Wanwan's waist and said, "As long as you agree to follow me, I can give you wealth, prosperity and a stable life.
Liu Rong's current face flashed before his eyes.
Liu Yi couldn't help but compare the two.
Finally, his eyes fell on Wanwan's face.
Young Liu Rong is more attractive.
Wanwan looked determined and put her arms around Liu Yi's neck.
Her breath is as fragrant as orchid and her eyes are full of affection.
"I am willing to be a slave as long as you can help me. I am an orphan and have nothing. I just want a stable life."
Wanwan was born into a prostitute family and knew very well how to arouse a man's desire.
Just gently raising your eyes and softening your voice, coupled with unconscious physical contact.
Sure enough, Liu Yi was interested.
There happened to be a bed for resting in the room of this restaurant.
He picked up Wanwan and walked towards the bed.
Wanwan looked shy yet seductive.
He even took the initiative to approach Liu Yi.
