Chapter 138: Cannon Fodder Gold Targeted by Slaves 21
*
"Your Majesty, we are envoys from the Kingdom of Wei. We have come here to present a letter of peace and to escort the Prime Minister's mansion of the Kingdom of Wei to you. Your Majesty will do whatever you want with us!"
Lord Sun held the letter of peace with his head held high, while Lord Lin behind him pulled off the black cloth covering it in a flattering manner.
Under the black cloth was a square iron cage, and trapped inside was the delicate and pretty young lady.
At that moment, Xiao Rongjing's pupils dilated, his chest shook, and all the blood in his body seemed to be screaming in anger.
Lord Lin and Lord Sun stood together, and both of them self-righteously thought that this was a way to vent Xiao Rongjing's anger. Lord Sun did not notice the sudden change in Xiao Rongjing's eyes when the black cloth was lifted.
"Your Majesty, we have specially used the iron cage for imprisoning slaves to escort Miss Yun into the palace. It is up to Your Majesty whether you want to kill her or chop her up—"
Before Lord Sun finished speaking, he saw Xiao Rongjing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, stumbling down the steps, with no regard for his imperial image in his movements.
Yun Wu, who was sitting in a small iron cage wearing a moon-white dress, had red eyes. She had just finished bathing and changing her clothes and was about to follow Xiao Rongjing into the palace, but was locked in the iron cage by the two envoys and covered with a black cloth.
They said they would escort her to Xiao Rongjing and let him torture her.
This iron cage was clearly used to imprison slaves. She had been raised pampered by her father, the Prime Minister, and had never suffered any hardship. How could she have suffered such an injustice?
The black cloth blocked her vision and she could not see anything. She was trapped in the small iron cage and her eyes turned red with fear. Her glass-like eyes looked at Xiao Rongjing with tears in them.
Xiao Rongjing staggered down from the dragon throne and looked at the young lady in the iron cage, who looked disheveled but whose hair and clothes were clean. She must have been suddenly locked in the iron cage when she was preparing to enter the palace.
Yun Wu sat in the iron cage in a panic with red eyes, fear and terror in her tearful eyes.
This made him feel as if his heart was being cut open with a knife, causing him unbearable pain.
"Where's the key... I'm asking you where's the key!!!"
He roared at Lord Sun and Lord Lin who were waiting on the side like a madman, his voice was urgent and his eyes were bloodshot.
The two men were so frightened that they trembled, and Lord Sun quickly handed over a bunch of keys with trembling hands.
Xiao Rongjing took the slightly larger key and tried anxiously to unlock the iron cage.
"Miss, don't be afraid, don't be afraid... I will open the lock right away..."
When Yun Wu's eyes turned red when she saw Xiao Rongjing panicking as he tried to comfort her while opening the lock of the iron cage with trembling hands.
She knew that it was definitely not Xiao Rongjing who ordered them to do this.
But when Xiao Rongjing opened the iron cage, he saw that Yun Wu was still wearing handcuffs on her wrists!
Her wrists were so thin and white, and the heavy handcuffs deeply hurt Xiao Rongjing's eyes.
He wanted to hold the young lady in his hands and pamper her, how dare they...how dare they? !
"Somebody come!"
Xiao Rongjing felt like he was going crazy. At his command, the guards rushed into the hall, frightening Lord Sun and Lord Lin so much that they trembled.
"Kill them... Kill them all! Except for the people that the young lady brought from the mansion, leave no one in the palace alive! Kill them all!"
"Your Majesty! Spare my life!"
Lord Sun and Lord Lin only thought of sparing their lives at this time, but the guards who were following Xiao Rongjing's orders blocked their mouths and dragged them out of the hall swiftly.
Xiao Rongjing hurriedly picked up the other long-handled key on the key.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
He opened his thin lips slightly and apologized, while his fingertips trembled as he untied the handcuffs on Yun Wu's hands.
When the heavy handcuffs were removed, Xiao Rongjing saw a circle of light pink marks on her slender white wrists.
Yun Wu's eyes were red and she was about to rub her sore hand when suddenly Xiao Rongjing in front of her grabbed her wrist tightly.
She was a little startled because Xiao Rongjing held her wrist close to her almost crazily, and kept rubbing and kissing the red mark on her wrist with his thin lips.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, miss. It's okay, miss. I killed them all. It's okay..."
How could his young lady be trapped in an iron cage and shackled like a slave? The young lady was so good, she should always be high and mighty and pampered.
Yun Wu subconsciously shrank her shoulders back, because she had never seen Xiao Rongjing like this when she was with him in Weiguo.
But as soon as she stepped back, she was suddenly taken out of the iron cage by Xiao Rongjing.
"what!"
Yun Wu cried out in surprise, and was then carried quickly up the stairs by Xiao Rongjing like a child.
The redness at the corners of her eyes had not yet faded away, but Xiao Rongjing actually carried her directly to sit on his dragon throne!
The bright yellow majestic imperial dragon throne beneath her made her whole body tremble with uneasiness.
"Xiao Rongjing..."
Yun Wu's soft voice was trembling. She wanted to ask Xiao Rongjing what he was doing, but she saw him half-kneeling in front of her.
"I'm sorry, miss. It's me who made you feel wronged... Miss, hit me, okay?"
Xiao Rongjing half-knelt in front of the dragon throne with a humbly posture. He devoutly held Yun Wu's white and tender hand and kissed the back of her hand in a flattering manner.
The reason why he did not directly confess to Weiguo that he loved the young lady was because he knew that some of Weiguo's court officials were very vicious.
If they knew how much the young lady meant to him, they would never let her leave Weiguo easily and would definitely hold her hostage and threaten her.
He didn't expect that the envoy sent by the Wei State would be so self-righteous and take the initiative to escort his young lady to him in this way.
"Wait a minute, let go first..."
There was a blush on Yun Wu's fair cheeks, and she wanted to escape her hand from Xiao Rongjing's palm out of shame and anger.
After not seeing each other for several months, she had just calmed down and looked at Xiao Rongjing carefully. The slave who used to be dressed as an old servant was now wearing a dragon robe and had become the most honorable person in the Xiao Kingdom.
He seemed to have changed a little. His features became more handsome and he no longer looked as submissive as before in front of her.
But why did she feel that Xiao Rongjing was weird? He was not like this when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Why is he so shameless now...
"Miss……"
Xiao Rongjing's voice was low, and Yun Wu freed her hand as she wished. With tears in the corners of her eyes, she looked at Xiao Rongjing timidly.
Seeing that he had no intention of hurting her, she relaxed a little.
But now Xiao Rongjing is not the lowly slave she used to be, and coupled with his shameful and angry behavior just now, Yun Wu is a little afraid of him.
"When you were in Weiguo before, I... I also bullied you, called you a lowly slave, stepped on your back, made you sleep on the floor when you were injured, and was very cruel to you. Now we are even!"
The delicate and soft daughter spoke tremblingly, she sniffed her nose and mustered up the courage to continue:
"So, so you can't hold a grudge against me anymore!"
But her voice was soft and not scary at all. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Rongjing's face with a guilty look.
The spoiled young lady immediately backed down, fearing to anger the new emperor, and added tentatively in a whisper:
"OK?"
Xiao Rongjing was still half-kneeling in front of her with his eyes level with hers. He didn't say anything, but his handsome eyes were dark and deep.
He smelled the fresh and clean faint fragrance on her body and knew that she had just taken a bath in the palace.
Every time after the lady takes a bath, her body fragrance will be stronger.
Xiao Rongjing thought, he hadn't seen his dear young lady for a few months, how come she became prettier and cuter, yet also spoiled and timid.
It's like a kitten that has grown a pair of milk teeth and dares to bare its teeth at a tiger. I really want to eat it in one bite...
His good lady is now in his territory and can't escape.
Yun Wu sat stiffly on the dragon throne, and Xiao Rongjing looked at her with an evil look.
Woohoo, it’s so scary… She wants to go home.
Yun Wu thought that she had gone too far with Xiao Rongjing in the past, and said in a soft voice with red eyes:
"At most...at most you can bully me once, no more! And it can't be too painful..."
"No, I don't bully the young lady. I just want the young lady to reward me..."
She heard Xiao Rongjing's voice was inexplicably hoarse, and her beautiful eyes had a dazed look.
Then she saw Xiao Rongjing slowly holding her——
Yun Wu felt that she seemed to have an impression of such a scene.
A strange palace, a dragon throne, a man whose face could not be seen clearly holding her...
It was exactly the same as what she had dreamed before!
