Luo Qian Qian replies coldly, “I only have a son, that is you, everything I do is just for you, can I not agree to your request? Do you still force me to swear when you don’t believe it? Okay, I swear right in front of you.”
“Mother, I didn’t mean that…”
Without listening to Luo Yun’s explanation, Luo Qian Qian pressed her fist on her left chest. “The heaven’s above and the ancestors of the Xiao family testify that if that bitch Yaoye’s son couldn’t be killed in Tong Ze this time, Luo Qian Qian would stop and never hurt that little bastard. If I break this vow, I would like to die under the sword of my own son Luo Yun.” Her face is resolute, without hesitation.
Having said that, she turns her head and sneers, “How? Do you believe you mom now?”
Luo Yun feels guilty when she made such a vicious vow and hangs his head in silence.
Luo Qian Qian also seems to feel herself is too extreme, her tone become gentler. “Yun Er, since you promised your mom, you will put this drugs into his meal as your mom told you, right?”
Luo Yun nods, suddenly says, “But I can’t guarantee whether the drug will work, one of the people who was sent by the King of Xirei to protect him was Rong Hu”, Luo Qian Qian reminded, “he’s very careful, and he occasionally spot checks the food himself, there are really too many variables in this matter.”
“As long as you really stand by your mom’s side.”
“This time, I will be on mom’s side.” Luo Yun can’t help but reminding, “But if he can escape this catastrophe, please don’t forget you vow.”
“Do you really worry about him so much?”
Luo Yun doesn’t want to answer, pretending to put the drug bag in his arms, and after a while he says, “I’ve been out for too long. Do you have anything else to tell?”
“By the way, there is one more thing.” After Luo Qian Qian thinking for a moment, her face suddenly softened, and there’s a strange smile on her face, “I heard your uncle said, you have been with a maid recently, her look quite beautiful, her skin white, her eyes big, and her name is Qiu Yue, right? I didn’t expect my Yun Er who usually ignore people, actually knows how to pursue girls.”
Luo Yun’s handsome face is blushed and he explains hurriedly, “That girl is pure and innocent, mom should never think of going elsewhere. I was just ordered to send her to Fu Qi Men to learn dyeing carftmanship, probably because uncle often saw me send her out of the house and pick her up, he’s misunderstanding.”
Luo Qian Qian catches a glimpse of the embarrassment on his face, but she doesn’t pierce it and says softly, “You kiddo, mom is just asking. Even if it is true, i’m only happy for you. I hope that this unlucky woman will have a grandchildren in the future.”
Luo Yun is even more embarrassed, thinking of the extremely secret and passionate kiss with Qiu Yue, he can’t help but feel a little sweet in his heart.
Obfuscated, he says goodbye to his mom and flee.
After a round of work, Qing Zhang just returned to He Qing prince palace, Luo Qian Qian who just met Luo Yun, secretly walk from the palace to the east house to sneak into the secret room and meet him.
Seeing the beautiful lady who he hasn’t gotten in his hand, Qing Zhang smiles, “I have been busy working for The Lady for the past two days, and I have no time to chat with The Lady. I have a piece of good news to tell The Lady that I have just secretly met with Shang Yi the spies i arranged beside Qing Li to clean up the things over there, when she gets back, she will work harder to urge Qingli to make a final decision as soon as possible.”
Luo Qian Qian asks absent-mindedly, “Imperial uncle is no longer worried that if her identity is revealed, she will confess it?”
“It’s really grateful that Lady is starting to worry about me,” Qing Zhang says with a smile, “But Lady can rest assure, this time it has been resolved, in order to reassure Shang Yi, I not only gave her the newly refined drug, but also specially sent her a life-saving kit and ordered her to take it with her, it can’t be opened at the critical moment when her identity was revealed. As for the mystery, Lady will understand in the future.”
He still has some skill in controlling the pieces in his hand.
Luo Qian Qian wisely doesn’t ask, anyway, the man who took a fancy to her and coveted the Xiao family property, his reason was blinded by greed, at present he will try his best to kill Yaoye’s son.
Remembering what his brother Luo Ning had mentioned, Luo Qian Qian reminds him. “Will imperial uncle have to beware of your royal family? I don’t know why, that little bastard is quite likable, after only a few days here, I heard that he had become friends with one of imperial uncle’s sons and nephews and had frequent contacts. At a critical time, anyone who intervenes may lead to failure. In this regard, should imperial uncle take precautions first?”
“Oh, Lady must be talking about Wu Qian, right?” Qing Zhang laughs, showing a slight disdain on his face, “Wu Qian is just one of the insignificant members of the royal family, when imperial brother was there, he also looked at him unpleasantly and never promoted him. This man has a eccentric personality , arrogant but have no charm, he wants power but has no power, he wants soldiers but has no soldiers, he doesn’t pose much threat. However, under his influence, Zhuang Pu recently was obviously had a lot of affection for the boy. Zhuang Pu is a former general, most of Tong Ze’s forces are in his hands, in case he comes out to protect the boy, with the men of The King of Xirei and the Xiao family, I am afraid that none of us can touch that boy.”
Luo Qian Qian watches him talking, knowing that he had been prepared for a long time, she smiles gently, “These small things will certainly can’t beat imperial uncle.”
Qing Zhang kind of lustfully looks at her, “I’m flattered Lady. How can I ignore such an important person? Zhuang Pu, I have bribed several of his trusted men and also used some small tricks to reveal all kinds of false news to him through unnoticed channels. This man is the most loyal to the same royal family, and his stand is firm, as long as he is given a little suspicion, he feels that The King of Xirei may be conspiring against the Tong Kingdom, he will definitely be alert and draw a line with the Xiao family”
Luo Qian Qian says, “In that case, why doesn’t imperial uncle just make more efforts in Zhuang Pu to create illusions, like Qing Li, convinced him that the Tong Kingdom’s great king was killed by that little bastard? In this way, as long as Zhuang Pu uses the soldiers in his hands, he can immediately chop that little bastard into flesh, so why spend so much time and effort?”
Qing Zhang objects quickly, “How can Qing Li compared with Zhuang Pu? Zhuang Pu handled things calmly and suspiciously, it was easy to guard against the Xiao family, but he acted cautiously and was still stubbornly determined, to convince him to take initiative against Xiao family, he must have solid evidence. If we do this, if we will be a little careless and reveal a little flaw, he will suspect us, which is too dangerous. The imperial general will master massive military forces, make him turn his face and not recognizing his family, why bother this trouble? In this matter, it’s good if he’s remained neutral and not interfere.”
Qing Zhang’s face told the truth, in fact, he was still has his own abacus in mind.
Qing Li, the crown prince, is an opponent to fight for the throne, killing him is not enough, after Feng Ming was killed, that Qing Li came to be a scapegoat, killing Qing Li to calm the Xiao family and Rong Tian’s anger. It’s just like killing two birds with one stone, it can’t be more affordable.
Zhuang Pu, a former imperial general, is a good loyal minister of the Tong Kingdom. After he himself ascended the throne in the future, he will be a good helper, how can he easily sacrifice him.
Besides, if Zhuang Pu was incited to mobilize the army of the Tong Kingdom to kill Feng Ming, the personal revenge would become public revenge, wouldn’t Xiao Zong and Rong Tian treat the entire kingdom as the object of revenge? Maybe he will be involved.
That’s really not worth it.
Luo Qian Qian is not stupid, of course she’s guessing what Qing Zhang is worried about, she’s secretly sneering, not expressing an opinion on the surface, and changes the topic, “I just met Luo Yun and wanted to see if his attitude can be our insider response.”
“Then how does he deal with Lady?” Qing Zhang shows a look of concern.
Luo Qian Qian’s eyes are sad and decisive, her tone is cold. “This child really disappointed me, he already regarded the bitch’s son as a brother, and begged me to not hurt that person in the future if this was not successful.”
Qing Zhang is taken aback, “This is not good! If your son knows our plan, but sympathizes with Duke Ming’s side, he may deliberately give us away and expose us all.”
“Why would I be so stupid and tell him all the plans?” Luo Qian Qian said, “All he knows now is nothing more than the matter of Qing Li, I haven’t leaked a word about imperial uncle. Aih, this child looks cold, but he’s very soft-hearted.”
“After all with variables, do we need to change our plan?”
“No, the plan remains the same.”
Qing Zhang frowns. “Is Lady sure? At least your treasured son already know about Qing Li, he also knows that we will do it on the day when the King’s birthday is celebrated.”
Luo Qian Qian smiles proudly, “He knew when we are going to do it, but he thought that I can only use him to drug the guards, and then let Qing Li’s people attack and kill the boy.”
Qing Zhang asks, “Will Luo Yun really listen to The Lady and drug him?”
“Even if he does, he will warn the guards of Xirei to not fall into the trap in a way that i wouldn’t found out, such as the one named Rong Hu who is vigilant”.
Qing Zhang says, “Why do you send him to drug him if you know it?”
The one who should be called bitch is you, vicious mother. you actually ask your son to kill his brother when he doesn’t want to do it. I’m waiting for your tragic ending later..humph!!!!!
