Chapter 12 Chapter 12
Luo Ran thought Zhou Xi would endure it for two months and make plans, but she exploded very quickly, and it was a little different from her previous style of conduct.
Just two days after receiving Yue Feng, Zhou Xi stopped Lu Chen from the imperial carriage to Luo Yun Palace. She bit her lip and her eyes were slightly red. She stood in front of Lu Chen's imperial carriage, as if she had suffered a huge grievance, and even swallowed her complaint to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen listened to her accusation and only curled his eyebrows, and even felt relieved. Luo Ran was too delicate. He was worried that she would be bullied if she left her. She was sensitive and never told him that he had been worried that she would be too tolerant and was depressed. Now she was learning to fight back and no longer just endured it, but he let him down and there was no need to worry too much.
Zhou Xi looked at Lu Chen and thought that even if he was not angry, he would frown because Luo Ran was not as pure and kind as in his heart. Now, he looked calm, especially the unnatural relief in his eyes, which made Zhou Xi both angry and painful.
Why didn't he even have a trace of surprise?
Zhou Xi's eyes were red and tears were falling. Zhou Xi herself did not notice that she had never cried before. At some point, she began to consciously learn Luo Ran's appearance.
However, with Luo Ran's authentic product, her fake product was naturally not loved by Lu Chen, and even the previous feelings disappeared with her side behavior.
Lu Chen led Zhou Xi to Luoyun Palace.
Luo Ran heard the sound of the sound and was running out. When he saw Zhou Xi beside him, he paused and his expression suddenly became dark. After saluting Lu Chen with his spirit, he lowered his head and stood aside.
Lu Chen sat in the seat and saw her lower head, tucking her hands together, feeling weak in her heart, calling her "Ran'er, come here."
Luo Ran heard his voice and instantly raised her head, her eyes were gray and wet with water mist. She pursed her lips and looked at Zhou Xi, and moved carefully towards Lu Chen.
It was not until he walked to Lu Chen that Lu Chen held her hand and seemed to give her a reassurance that Luo Ran smiled as bright as Taoyao.
Seeing her smiling, Lu Chen's eyes seemed to be a little warm and "sitting."
The other side was occupied by Zhou Xi. Qing Ru brought a short stool and placed it next to Lu Chen. After Luo Ran sat down, Lu Chen held her hand and did not let go.
Zhou Xi saw it, bit her tongue and reminded her, "Emperor..."
Lu Chen glanced at her, and his eyes were as dark as a lake. Zhou Xi stopped instantly and swallowed the words in his mouth.
Luo Ran knew what they were coming, and tried hard to smile on his face, and his eyes were puzzled, "Master, is there anything wrong?"
She asked with caution, fearing that she had made a mistake and would make the emperor dislike.
Lu Chen held her hand tightly and said calmly, "Concubine Zhou said you deducted the cost of her palace and let me be fair."
Luo Ran was a little anxious and defended, "Master, I don't!"
"I believe in you."
Lu Chen pulled her up excitedly. He believed her. On the way, he thought she was interested. But when he saw her, he felt that she was still the little girl who needed to protect herself.
Luo Ran sat down with Lu Chen, but Zhou Xi suddenly stood up and shouted in disbelief, "Emperor!"
After Lu Chen's words, Luo Ran stopped talking and leaned on Lu Chen's knees, allowing Lu Chen to gently stroke her black hair. She looked sideways at Zhou Xi, with a smile on the corner of her eyes, as if she was sarcastic.
Zhou Xi was angry by this expression and didn't care about reason. "Your Majesty, every word I said is true. Every monthly fee in my palace is recorded in the book. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can take a look."
Lu Chen ignored her and ordered to "Grandpa De who was standing beside him to "go to spread the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
After Eunuch Zhang arrived, he said again what he said to Luo Ran last time.
Lu Chen listened to his words and his face did not change. However, Zhou Xi changed her face in an instant. She looked at Luo Ran, but saw Luo Ran pressing against Lu Chen, but there was a smile in her eyes. Seeing her looking over, the smile on her lips deepened.
Zhou Xi's hand in her sleeve was pinching it tightly, trembling slightly.
Luo Ran suddenly changed his expression and stood up from the stool, with a look of uneasiness on his face and said timidly, "Eunuch Zhang, I, Eunuch Zhang had told me that day, but I didn't handle it well. It was my fault, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, it's your first time getting involved in these things. What's more, you've done nothing wrong, so there's no need to apologize."
Lu Chen interrupted her and couldn't stand her timid appearance. After raising her for many days, she became more charming. Seeing her listening to her words, the corners of her eyes were filled with joy, and a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. Her soft appearance made people feel happy.
Zhou Xi felt the pain in her palms and knew that she had fallen into Luo Ran's words again. Since she already knew what was going on, why didn't she say it earlier? If she said that she was not waiting for this day, she wouldn't believe it!
But Luo Ran didn't want to end like this. She looked at Zhou Xi and hesitated, "Empress Zhou, if you are not satisfied with the current monthly expenses, then you should do it as before."
How could Zhou Xi not say he was dissatisfied at this time? But before she could retort, she heard Lu Chen's indifferent voice, "No need, you did a good job, you didn't favor one and the other, everything was following the rules, it was great."
Listening to Lu Chen's two consecutive sounds, Luo Ran's cheeks were red quietly, sitting next to Lu Chen, pulling his hand cutely, putting his clever hand in the palm of his hand, and waiting for him to look up, and then smiled at him with curved eyebrows.
Zhou Xi bit her tongue and made herself endure this unfairness. She had been in charge of the harem for a year and had to handle all matters properly. When would she get the emperor's praise? Now Luo Ran is just picking up her own wisdom, and she can actually praise him.
Zhou Xi glanced at the hands that the two of them were holding each other, and felt a stinging pain in their eyes. She didn't want to stay any longer. She owed her body and said hard, "Today, I don't know the truth, I'm making trouble, I'm leaving!"
Luo Ran seemed to realize that there was someone else there. She pulled out her hand, stood up behind her back, trembling her eyelashes, bowed to Zhou Xi, and lowered her voice, "Father Zhou walked slowly."
In an instant, the softness in his hands was lessened. Lu Chen frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Xi coldly. He saw her turning a blind eye to Luo Ran's salute. He knew that Luo Ran felt guilty towards Zhou Xi, but now they have the same identities and there is no need to be humiliated like this by Zhou Xi.
Although Luo Ran recommended himself, he made his own decision. Now Zhou Xi is dissatisfied with him?
Lu Chen looked cold, looked at Zhou Xi indifferently, and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Luo is saluting you."
Zhou Xi didn't understand what he meant for a moment. She didn't react until she looked into his deep eyes. Her face turned pale in an instant. No matter how she told herself, Luo Ran is the same identity as her, but she never looked down on Luo Ran in her heart.
Zhou Xi was pressed by Lu Chen's gaze, bent over, bowed down, bowed to Luo Ran, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out the voice from her teeth, "Father Luo doesn't have to be too polite."
Luo Ran stood up with his lips pursed, looked at Zhou Xi, and then looked at Lu Chen. Under Lu Chen's gaze, he finally plucked up the courage, stood up straight, and received Zhou Xi's gift.
After Zhou Xi left, Luo Ran leaned limply in Lu Chen's arms. Lu Chen pointed her lovingly and said with a smile, "No prospect."
Luo Ran didn't know that Lu Chen was right, but he also knew that Lu Chen was right. He hooked his neck, blushed his face, and printed his soft lips on his cheeks. His voice was soft, as if he was dripping with water. "It would be great if there was the emperor."
Lu Chen pressed her waist and looked at her, as if he wanted to deeply engrave her in his eyes, and instructed him word by word, "Ran'er, if you want to stand up by yourself, there will always be something I can't take care of."
Luo Ran's eyes turned red in an instant. She approached him coquettishly, allowing him to see the tears in his eyes clearly without any hesitation. "I don't want it, Ran'er can't protect herself, so the emperor must not have something to do with it."
Lu Chen felt a sense of heat in his heart, and his pity in his eyes became even more intense, so he could only rely on her, "Okay, I will protect you."
Luo Ran burst into tears and laughed. The palace servant had already stepped down. Luo Ran hooked him with soft and charming eyes. She leaned close to him stickyly, and one by one, light and grinding kiss on his face, down, down.
Lu Chen lets her toss on her body. Every time she is at this time, she is always so dazzling that she can't take her eyes away. It seems that she feels something wet and soft in her throat. Lu Chen's eyes are deep, and she slides up and down her throat, but she finds some fun toys.
She stopped there, gently polished her teeth, stretched out her tongue and tapped her tentatively. Lu Chen's breathing became heavier in an instant, pulled her over and pressed her under her body. She saw an innocent and seductive look in her eyes. Lu Chen felt hot in his heart, and he leaned close to her ears, with some dull and hoarse voices.
"Don't cry."
Luo Ran hooked his neck and bit his lips, bold and shy.
Put down the gauze and the plain clothes fell. That night, Ren Luoran begged for mercy, crying so hard that his voice was hoarse, and Lu Chen did not let her go.
As soon as Lu Chen stepped out of Luo Yun Palace, Eunuch De attached to his ear, "Emperor, I heard that the Empress Dowager wants to see Concubine Luo."
