Instantly, the entire hall sounded like freshly boiled hot water, and the people standing behind them all looked at Wang Qi with attentive eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two hundred taels of grain! That's what they can't think of, that is, each family is given a pound of grain, and they only dare to write in the fold to ask for fifty taels.

This Wang Qi actually dared to ask for two hundred taels?!

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

Wang Qi's head hung lower, only to feel that in front of him was the emperor's scorching gaze, and behind him, there was a lot of discussion.

Holding on for a moment, he swallowed heavily before he opened his mouth with some trembling: "Emperor...... Emperor...... Wechen ...... Wechen is guilty ......"

"Guilty? Wang Aiqing didn't make a mistake, what is the crime? The corners of Mu Tiande's mouth hooked up a cold smile, and his voice was deep.

Wang Qi's sweat seeped out of his forehead in an instant, his hands were arched to salute, he didn't dare to put it away at all, and his speech was no longer as neat as before, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Mu Tiande's body leaned slightly sideways on the back of the dragon chair, his eyes were undiminished, and he stared at Wang Qi without moving.

In the courtroom, silence returned.

Everyone's eyes looked at Wang Qi's back, but everyone's hearts were filled with their own thoughts.

The atmosphere is already stiff.

After a quarter of an hour's effort, Wang Qi's sweat was already wet with the clothes on his back.

After a long time, he opened his mouth tremblingly, and his mouth was dry because of nervousness, and he stammered.

"Your Majesty, there are still ...... The sacrifice is still a few days away...... When the time comes...... When the time comes, Ting Yuan will definitely ......"

"Report ――――――"

The moment Wang Qi's words fell, outside the Dragon Yin Palace, an extraordinarily loud voice had already sounded, and in an instant, a man in armor had already rushed into the Dragon Yin Palace.

With his hands held high above his head, he held a brown envelope.

"Report to the emperor, ―――――― the emperor, the general has returned to Kyoto, and now he is waiting in front of the palace gate, and he will send a small one to report-" The soldier's words were particularly loud, and his figure was also extremely tall, and he stood in the nearest position at the bottom of the stairs, and presented the letter high.

Hearing only the word general, Mu Tiande's body sat up straight, the chill in his eyes had already dissipated immediately, and the moment he surged up became a surprise, without stopping, he took a step down, took the letter from the hand of the little soldier, and walked straight outside.

The voice was particularly powerful: "Retreat!! ”

With that, he strode towards the outside of the Dragon Yin Palace.

For a while, everyone was stunned, and no one dared to speak.

Gonggong Hai was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, the dust was raised high, resting on his right arm, and the voice sounded, calling back everyone's attention: "Early Dynasty, Bi-"

Everyone still didn't react, Gonggong Hai's brows were heavy, and his voice became a little stern: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't you still bow and retreat from the court?" ”

The next moment, everyone understood what Gonggong Hai meant, bent their knees, and knelt down one after another.

"Congratulations to the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

Seeing that everyone knelt down and saluted, Gonggong Hai sighed deeply, and his voice was still loud: "The emperor's meaning today must be very clear, and I hope that all of you will do your best for Ting Yuan." If there is anything to tell the emperor again, he will follow the old rules and send the letter to the General Administration. ”

"In that case, ladies and gentlemen, please go back."

The last sentence fell, and Gonggong Hai's footsteps also came down from the steps and rushed towards the outside of the Dragon Yin Palace.

When the prince returned to the palace, the emperor must be extremely happy, first, Mu Yungu was able to return to Kyoto safely, and second, that is, the sacrificial ceremony could be carried out as promised.

The entire palace is snow-white, and the red walls and yellow tiles of the past have now become red walls and white tiles, as if they have been submerged in the white world.

Mu Tiande's steps were very urgent, because the news came at the right time, and he only made the decision to pick up Gu'er at the gate of the palace in person for a moment.

In his heart, Mu Yungu is the child he trusts the most.

Gonggong Hai came out in a hurry, stood on the steps of the Dragon Yin Hall and squinted for a long time, only to see the direction where the emperor was going, and he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly went down the steps and rushed in the direction of Mu Tiande.

The father is looking forward to the return of the son, this is the first time, and the prince really sees the emperor's concern for the prince.

On a path next to the hall next to the Dragon Yin Palace, a woman in a white dress was shrinking in the corner of the wall, the color of her clothes was the same as snow, as if she was hidden in the snow, but her eyes were black and shiny, revealing a calmness that was extremely inconsistent with the woman's age.

The woman practiced martial arts, and her eyesight was excellent, until she saw Gonggong Hai's body disappear from sight, her eyes were fixed, and then she turned around and rushed in the direction of the Sanshui Palace.

Yes, the woman in white is Yi Ruo.

Yi Ruo was in the palace, in addition to assisting Shui Muqing, he also had an extremely important task, which was to go to the Dragon Yin Hall every day and eavesdrop on what they were discussing.

Previously, He Xiao, as a general, had always been guarding the frontier, and since he would not appear in the court, he secretly arranged for Yi Ruo to do this.

The footsteps were fast, Yi Ruo was extremely familiar with the road in this area, and returned to the Sanshui Hall with shallow light skills all the way.

Along the way, his eyes were extremely vigilant, and he was also looking for a hidden place to run.

The Dragon Yin Hall belongs to the front palace, and the women of the harem are not allowed to appear.

It wasn't until the figure entered the Sanshui Hall that the tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

Looking at the courtyard, a maid who was sweeping the snow, took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Is Niangniang in the house?" ”

The little maid swept the pavilion far away, but did not see Yi Ruo, and when she heard her voice, she hurriedly stopped what she was doing, ran to her quickly, and saluted: "Miss Yi Ruo, Niangniang is not in the house, she went to the small kitchen." ”

"Kitchenette?" Yi Ruo's voice slammed, and his eyes were full of fierce light, "Why don't you follow?" ”

Although the maid in front of her was a little scared of Yi Ruo, she still spoke calmly: "Niangniang ordered, saying that we must not follow." If the girl comes, let us speak to her. ”

Glancing deeply at the little maid again, Yi Ruo waved her hand, motioned for her to continue clearing the snow, turned around, and walked in the direction of the side hall of the Sanshui Palace.

Bypassing a long corridor, as soon as he turned the corner, Yi Ruo saw the direction of the small kitchen in the distance, and bursts of cooking smoke rose up, and the smoke was extremely thick, not at all like the rise of normal cooking.
