Chapter 217: 凤命加身

[The phoenix’s Honor]

Looking at the critical moment when their lips were about to touch.

Lu Yunluo abruptly covered her mouth.

The fingers covering her mouth collapsed tightly, not revealing a single gap.

It seemed like she had eaten a dish with garlic tonight?

She wondered if it smelled or not?

Should she go brush her teeth and come back again?

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a big shame if she was disliked by such a big handsome guy?

Lu Yunluo’s thoughts began to wander. 

The moment she covered her mouth, Ji Wu Jue’s movements also stopped.

His handsome face was fixed (stopped) at this moment, and then he just looked at her like this. 

He clearly felt Lu Yunluo’s rejection toward him. 

She is rejecting him!

Don’t tell me that she was still guarding her body for the Third Imperial Uncle even now?

This thought caused his ice cold eyes to bubble up. 

Very good!

It’s really good!

He got up and gave her a cold look.

It felt like what he had done on these days was like a joke.

(He) didn’t say another word.

Put on his clothes and just left like this. 

Lu Yunluo blinked, Did she just do something wrong?

She actually just wanted to brush her teeth. Is it possible that Ji Wu Jue had imagined some annual dog blood (mellow) drama?

The moment she thought of the look in Ji Wu Jue’s eyes when he was leaving just now, the uneasiness in her heart rubbed or upsurge.

Would he directly issue a decree to cut her off tomorrow?

Her mind flipped through the twenty-first century’s palace dramas, and the more she thought about what happened to the concubines who didn’t let the Emperor touch them, the more alarmed she became, and it seemed that none of them had a good ending.

Lu Yunluo lay in bed, tossing and turning around yet she is unable to sleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of the way Ji Wu Jue looked at her when she left.

There seemed to be a sense of hurt?

Lu Yunluo didn’t know.

She just felt very irritated in her heart.

Getting up, she decided to go out for a walk.

Outside the bedchamber was pitch black.

Only the bright moon overhead could still shed some dim light.

Lu Yunluo went out of the gate and prepared to walk along the pond there.

Unintentionally, she saw the lights on in Consort Yao’s chambers next door.

She then curiously went over to take a look.

Through the hidden and left unlocked doorway, she saw Eunuch Cao guarding the courtyard inside.

He he.

That dead emperor!

He still looked hurt when he just left her.

As soon as he left the room, he ran to another woman to seek comfort.

That’s really great!

Lu Yunluo instantly didn’t go around again and directly went to her own room.

She slept until dawn.

In these few days, Ji Wu Jue didn’t come to the Cold Palace for meals.

From what others said, everynight he went to Consort Yao’s place. 

Yin Shuang and Sister Zhou had a worried look on their faces, looking at it, Niang Niang is going to lose favor again.

Lu Yunluo leisurely happy instead. 

These days because of the plague raging in Shang Yuan State, the people are on edge or in anxiety over it. 

It is said that even in the military camps stationed at the border of Shang Yuan State appeared the infected people.

One must know that there are 50,000 elite soldiers stationed there.

If it wasn’t dealt with in a hurry, it was feared that the enemy country would directly destroy Dong Lan Kingdom’s 50,000 strong army without spending a single soldier.

The situations were getting more and more serious.

The Dong Lan Kingdom was in a vague danger of turmoil.

Even the Imperial Preceptor who had been traveling or wandering outside, returned a few days ago.

The Master of State counted with his fingers.

He said that Lu Yunluo’s phoenix life, the eight stars converge, and the nine pearls are strung together.

It is the only candidate who can resolve the national disaster.

Special request to the emperor, to send Lu Yunluo with the identity as the Empress to go to Shang Yuan State, appease the people, and calm the plague.

This State Master has a supreme status.

The moment these words came out, the ministers in the court agreed. 

There wasn’t even a single minister who disputed the status of Empress in the Imperial Preceptor’s words.

The Emperor agreed on the spot.

By the time Lu Yunluo learnt about this, Ji Wu Jue’s imperial decree had already come down.

Without giving her too much time to prepare, she was ordered to depart first thing in the morning.

After Yin Shuang returned from outside after inquiring about the news, she was furious and had tears in her eyes, ”What phoenix destiny is added to the body, the nine beads and string of jade? This is clearly to send my family’s Niang Niang to die!”

“Niang Niang.”

“How about we go to beg the Emperor again?”

Shang Yuan State is so far away, and the plague is so strong now, if Niang Niang goes there now, she’s afraid that she’ll even lose her life.

Lu Yunluo gave her a look, “Why should we go to beg him?”

“Niang Niang, the plague in Shang Yuan state is so powerful, you can’t go ah…” Yin Shuang anxiously stamped her feet.

The plague in that place, even the doctor went there, all didn’t return, not to mention the physically very weak women.

This clearly wants to send Niang Niang to death ah.

The more Yin Shuang thought about it, her tears fell.

Even Lan Guiren also spoke up and said, “Luo Jie Jie, I’ll help you and go plead with the Emperor.”

Lu Yunluo hurriedly stopped Lan Guiren. 

Before she had time to persuade, Consort Yao’s voice came from behind her.

“I heard that Jie Jie is going to Shang Yuan State tomorrow, now that the plague is rampant there, Jie Jie should take care of her body more.”

Concubine Yao was all smiling.

After a few days of dieting, Consort Yao’s body seemed to have cleared up a bit.

Lu Yunluo suddenly turned her head to look at her, “That State Master is one of your people, right?”

Eight stars assembled, nine pearls and jade stringing together, it really can pull ah! 

Moreover, in order to be able to get her out of the palace, she even gave up her empress hat to put on her first.

Concubine Yao smiled, naturally not going to admit it.

“Jie Jie is joking. how could Mei Mei have that ability?”

In order to get this done, naturally their Bai family, not knowing how many contacts and financial resources they had used behind the scenes?! 

Only if Lu Yunluo was allowed to leave the palace, the wheat of this cold palace would naturally be hers.

The plague in Shang Yuan State is a burnt hand or troublesome sweet potato.

Her father gave her a secret letter mentioned, wanted to completely eliminate the plague in Shang Yuan State, unless set fire to massacre the inhabitants of the captured city. 

If Lu Yunluo really dares to set fire to the city, then she will definitely become the sinner of Dong Lan Kingdom and she will be drowned out by the public opinion even if she doesn’t have to fight for the position of the Empress. 

If she didn’t have the guts to firebomb the city, then the plague would only get worse then the people were bound to still complain as the cries of complaint fill the roads. 

A charge of mishandling the situation, no matter what, she would not be able to escape from it. 

Moreover, as long as she left the palace, it was still uncertain whether or not she could come back alive.

“Are you sure that you can raise the wheat in the palace after I’m gone?” Lu Yunluo felt that this woman, Concubine Yao, was too confident in herself.

This wheat was still relatively considered good to grow though.

But there were rules and techniques about when and how to water it.

There are also various weather emergencies.

If you’re not careful when you plant it, it will die.

“This naturally won’t trouble Jie Jie. Mei Mei will do her best to raise them well.” Their Bai family had quite a few agricultural officials in their hands.

It would certainly do its best to assist her.

Lu Yunluo nodded.

Let’s hope so, ba! 

Don’t spoil that hundred acres of grain again.

Concubine Yao left in a happy mood.

Having fought with Lu Yunluo so many times.

Every time, she was the one who totally lost. 

Now, she finally won once.

At evening.

Noble Consort Lan hugged Lu Yunluo’s arm and cried so pitifully. 

“Luo Jie Jie, you must protect yourself well after you go over there, okay?”

“Luo Jie Jie, what should I do after you leave?”

“Luo Jie Jie, after you leave, who will make me delicious food?”

“Luo Jie Jie… don’t you leave me alone ah…”

Lan Guiren cried a handful of snot and tears.

That look, it was like crying in mourning.
