Chapter 54: To hand over or not to pay
"A few days ago, someone robbed the execution ground and took away a few death row prisoners, I don't know if King Dugu has heard of this?" Yuan Xin didn't plan to go around in circles, and his black eyes were shining dangerously.
What do you mean by heard, this is clearly what he did alone, okay?
Mu Chengtian and Fang Zhenye also moved their gaze to the cyan figure together.
Dugu Jue pinched the delicate wine glass in his hand, he didn't mean to drink it at all, and when he heard Yuan Xin's question, he put down the wine glass in a flat tone, "This king, I know about it." ”
Yuan Xin's eyes darkened, and he picked up the wine glass and moved it to his lips, the expression on his face was unpredictable, "Oh? But I also got some news, someone told me that the person who robbed the prisoner was you, King Dugu." ”
After speaking, he drank all the glass of wine in one gulp, and coldly faced Dugu's black eyes as deep as a cold pool.
"King Dugu, I don't know how you want to explain this to me?"
The words were full of provocation, and Dugu curled his lips as if smiling, "Yes, it is the prisoner of this king." ”
What? He confessed so frankly?
I don't even take him, the famous emperor, in my eyes!
Yuan Xin was stunned for a while, and then clenched his fists coldly, and every muscle from the corner of his eyes to his chin was tense, suppressing his anger.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall fell to the bottom coldly.
Just as Yuan Xin was about to speak again, suddenly, there was a panicked sound outside the door.
"Princess Helian, the emperor is meeting with distinguished guests, please let the old slave go in first and pass it on. ”
"No need, just go in by yourself. ”
"Hey, this is absolutely unacceptable, princess, princess, please stay!"
Where could Zhou Dehai at the door stop Gu Qingluan, who was imperative, and soon their figures appeared at the door of the Taihe Palace.
Yuan Xinjian frowned, and asked unhappily, "What happened?"
"Oh, your majesty!" Zhou Dehai saw that Yuan Xin was angry, and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, Princess Helian insists on coming in, and the old slave really can't stop her!"
Sure enough, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by Gu Qingluan, who was dressed in a black dress and standing straight at His Royal Highness, unlike the surprise of others, Dugu Jue just glanced at her lightly and looked away.
Gu Qingluan looked at his handsome face, and found that he didn't pay attention to her at all, and a little disappointed in his heart, now that she was the high-ranking princess Helian, he still didn't want to look at her more......
Yuan Xin's frowning brows were loosened, since the princess Helian who suddenly appeared at the ceremony lived in the palace, he hadn't paid much attention to it, and almost forgot the existence of this person - perhaps, in his heart, the real Princess Helian was still the one before.
"Good manner, how did Princess Helian come to this Taihe Palace?" Whether it is true or not, the other party is a distinguished guest after all, Yuan Xin still asked politely.
Gu Qingluan raised his chin proudly behind his hands, "I heard that the emperor and King Dugu gathered together in the Taihe Hall today, since this princess has left the Valley of Despair, how can she not come?"
She stepped forward a few steps, and when she passed by Dugujue's side, she stopped, and the beautiful eyes on the black gauze looked at him carefully, without the slightest evasion. Dugu Jue naturally felt her burning gaze, and his warm and jade-like face was not moved in the slightest.
Yuan Xin noticed her gaze, and a cold light faintly flashed in her eagle eyes, "What, the two of you know each other? ”
"This king does not know this princess Helian. Unexpectedly, Dugu Jue suddenly spoke, and his attitude towards Gu Qingluan was extremely cold.
Don't know her?
Gu Qingluan's heart sank at first, and then the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. That's right, it's okay if you don't know her, and now she has a new identity, let's just think it's the first time we've met.
Originally, the person standing here today with infinite scenery should be his most beloved woman, but now she has become her, lonely, your heart must be unwilling to accept it.
"I didn't know it before, but I will know it in the future, King Dugu, fortunately. ”
Gu Qingluan pursed her lips and said with a smile, although she knew that he couldn't see her smile, her mood was still better.
"Come, give a seat to Princess Helian. Yuan Xin waved his hand and pointed to Dugu's absolute seat, Gu Qingluan was very satisfied with this place, and walked over and sat down according to his words.
Although Gu Qingluan's arrival was unexpected by Yuan Xin, the purpose of today's meeting is the most important thing, after a while, Yuan Xin knocked on the table with one hand, opened his mouth leisurely, and continued the previous topic, "King Dugu, even in front of Princess Helian today, I have to ask, why did King Dugu take away the death row prisoner of my name?" I hope you will give me a reasonable explanation. ”
It turned out that they were talking about this topic, and Gu Qingluan came at the right time, she planned not to speak for now, and then wait to observe the situation.
"It turns out that the person taken away by this king that day is a death row prisoner, I don't know what crime she has committed, and the emperor wants to take her life?"
His face sank, and Yuan Xin asked rhetorically: "What, if I want to kill someone, do I still have to explain it to King Dugu?"
"Of course this king doesn't mean this, it's just that the person the emperor wants to kill is a very important person to the desert, this king must protect her life, if you are offended, please bear with the emperor. "Dugu is a light and breezy way.
"Someone very important to the desert?" Yuan Xin smiled sarcastically, "Why don't I know that one of my concubines has such an important position that King Dugu will not hesitate to turn against the great name! Or is there something else hidden in this?"
He was speechless for a while, until Fang Zhenye, who had never opened his mouth, took over, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin's body is fragrant, and someone has seen her face when she entered the palace. ”
Fang Zhenye stood up from his seat as he spoke, raised the wine glass in his hand at Dugu Jue, and the meaning of the forced question could not be more obvious, "I don't know what King Dugu wants?"
Yuan Xin glanced at him appreciatively, and also turned his inquiring gaze to Dugu Jue, "Fang Aiqing's move is in line with my heart, the daimyo has shown enough sincerity, King Dugu, what do you think?"
The two of them sang and harmonized, undoubtedly forcing Dugu to the tip of the knife, and now there are only two choices in front of him: one is to hand over Mu Xinya, and the daimyo will rebuild the old friendship with the daimyo regardless of the previous suspicions, and second, I am afraid that you Dugu Wang will not step out of this palace gate again today!
Of course, Dugu Jue understood their intentions, and an indifferent face finally appeared at this moment, and a little cold, and his cold eyes flickered brightly and darkly.
Just as everyone was waiting for his answer, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and blades clashing outside, and Yuan Xin and Fang Zhenye on the seat were calm about this, because this was part of their plan, and as expected, the Imperial Forest Army had surrounded this Taihe Palace.
Gu Qingluan casually glanced outside the door with his spare eyes, and saw several figures of guards with knives, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and snorted coldly in his heart, Yuan Xin really came to this trick, the torture of Bubing Bu was obvious, was it putting pressure on him?
Glancing at the gentle man who was as steady as Mount Tai opposite, Gu Qingluan couldn't help but wonder what he would do.
In the quiet air, you can even hear the breathing of a few people present, Dugu faintly condensed the wine in the glass, the slender big hand pinched the wine glass, and shook it a few times at will, just when others thought he was going to drink, his hand suddenly paused, and the big hand holding the wine glass tightened suddenly, only to hear the "click", the wine glass was broken, and the clear wine flowed down the fingers.
Seeing that Gu Qingluan and Yuan Xin were present, they were slightly stunned.
But what surprised them even more was yet to come!
"I'm sorry, let me hand over Miss Mu, it's impossible. Dugu's thin lips spit out these words coldly and resolutely, and his tall body exuded a cold and arrogant aura.
As soon as these words came out, the four of them were immediately shocked! Yuan Xin's face immediately became darker than ink, and the fists under the dragon robe were clenched and bruised.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for not remembering the old love, come here, and take down Dugujue!"
……
"Master Leng, are you awake? I'm Hu Han Evil, do you remember me?"
Hu Han Xie looked at the person on the bed with a nervous face, Condensation Frost kept looking at him fixedly, and a pair of Danfeng eyes were unusually calm, so calm that Hu Han Xie couldn't be sure if she was awake or not.
But because he was so nervous, he didn't notice that at some point, Condensation Frost's expression had quietly changed, and he was no longer as sluggish as before, but had a bit of charm.
"Cold master, cold master?"
The intermittent call reached the ears of the person on the bed, and the brain was in a trance, as if time had passed for a thousand years in the days she had been asleep.
Over here...... Where is it?
She...... What's wrong?
Condensation closed his eyes, and a tear fell silently from the corner of his eye, I don't know if it was because his eyes were sore after being open for too long, or because of something else.
When Hu Han Xie saw this crystal tear, his heart was suddenly shocked, he fell to his knees, clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, "Hu Han Xie knocked to see Miss Leng." ”
"Lonely and alone, where are the people?" asked Condensation Frost.
"The king is now in talks with the Daimyo Emperor Yuanxin. Hu Han Xie told the truth, and he was a little anxious in his heart, and he didn't know how the meeting between the king and Yuan Xin was.
Daimyo Emperor Yuan Xin?
"Isn't this a desert?" she frowned slightly.
"No, this is in the Central Plains, and Master Leng lives in the Daimyo's Zhongcui Palace. ”
Condensation Frost slowly propped herself up from the bed, and her face was even fairer with her gorgeous red clothes, "Why am I here? Why don't you come to accompany me? What is the Emperor Daimyo!"
Unexpectedly, Master Leng had such a sharp temper when he woke up, Hu Han Ye's face changed slightly, and he raised his voice, "Master Leng, please leave the palace with your subordinates immediately!"
"What do you mean by that, go and call the king of your family to come up to me, I won't leave without seeing him!"
"No, Master Leng, if you continue to stay, you will only be taken hostage by the Daimyo Emperor, and then you will only live up to the king's hard work!"
