Chapter 526: Challenging the Emperor's Bottom Line
Looking down at Mu Xiyue who was kneeling on the ground, the emperor's eyes trembled, with a bit of scrutiny.
Mu Xiyue came up and raised the matter to the level of the country, she took a step back but forced the emperor to agree, which the emperor did not expect.
"You get up and speak first."
The emperor looked at Mu Xiyue, his sharp eyes swept over her face, and he secretly thought about what she might say later.
"Emperor Xie!" Mu Xiyue got up, her clear eyes were still rippling, and she did not have the slightest cowardice in the face of the emperor's scrutinizing gaze: "This is the private matter of the Eighth Prince of Chiyan, but it involves major events in the world. ”
Listening to Mu Xiyue's words, the corners of the emperor's eyes couldn't help twitching, and he turned his back to Mu Xiyue and stayed for a moment, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking.
"Do you know that if I issue a document, it will be an explicit order to send an envoy to Chiyan, and if you enter Chiyan as an envoy, if something happens, it will directly affect my Celestial Empire?"
The emperor said, the corners of his lips couldn't help but tremble, when he interrogated Song Xinran before, he already knew Mu Xiyue's sharpness and aggressiveness, and now when he talks to her, he is a little more guarded, this child is not as easy to control as he imagined.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor's slightly wavering heart is a little more hesitant.
"What does the emperor think will happen?"
Mu Xiyue raised her head leisurely, a smile between her clear eyes, but there was a bit of coldness in this softness that made people tremble: "If the emperor is not at ease, he can send someone to follow, Mu Xiyue is a woman, it is not enough to make the emperor jealous, right?" What's more, Lei Tianchen came to my Celestial Dynasty to ask for relatives, his purpose, the emperor should know better than me, how can he not be guarded against this time when he goes to Chiyan? ”
The fierceness in his voice made the emperor's heart tremble, and he turned his face to look at Mu Xiyue's serious face, but the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, as if his mind was seen through the irony, and the expression on his face couldn't help but pull down!
"Presumptuous!" The emperor glared angrily at Mu Xiyue, and his eyes added a little coldness: "I have the final say on the choice of Lei Tianchen and his relatives, when will it be Lei Tianchen's turn to choose by himself?" ”
Huangwei seemed to have been provoked, the emperor's face was red with anger, and his hands trembled slightly.
"In this way, Xiyue can breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that this rumor is indeed unbelievable, the emperor is the Shengming monarch, naturally he will not be reckless for the sake of just three cities, after all, people's hearts cannot be lost."
Mu Xiyue didn't care about the emperor's anger at all, as she spoke, her sharp gaze swept over the emperor's face, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she quickly returned to calm.
Popularity?
Listening to Mu Xiyue's words, the emperor's brows furrowed, and he knew in his heart that if he really married Mu Xiyue to Lei Tianchen, there would definitely be a rift between him and Mo Yichen.
But the soldiers should put the country first, Mo Yichen knows better the importance of these three cities to the Celestial Empire, and now that Mu Xiyue said this, it was a little stabbing in his heart.
"I should have appeased you and your sister well, but as an orphan of a soldier, I should naturally also have the country in mind, this is the demeanor that a good general should have after that!"
As the emperor spoke, his eyes fell on Mu Xiyue's face, and he glanced at it carefully, but his eyes were still gloomy.
"So, for the sake of the stability of the family and country, the emperor sent Zhang Yaruo away?"
Mu Xiyue's face was cold, and the moment she spoke, she looked up into the emperor's eyes, without the slightest fear or dodge.
"What did you say!"
Hearing Zhang Yaruo's name, the emperor's whole body was obviously stiff, and his eyes, which were still a little flickering just now, suddenly froze, and seemed to be a little incredulous.
After the thirteenth prince forced the palace, Zhang Yaruo's name also became a taboo at the same time, no one dared to mention it, this matter was a thorn in the emperor's throat, and he couldn't move, and now listening to Mu Xiyue's words, he was naturally shocked, and his hands trembled involuntarily.
Seeing the emperor's reaction like this, Mu Xiyue sneered in her heart, but her face was still calm, she turned around leisurely and looked at the scenery on the screen, and her lips opened lightly: "I said, whether it is a good general or a child of the emperor, he should not bear what he should support, if Zhang Yaruo knew how to defend himself back then, he would not be forcibly sent out of the palace, the so-called love is stable only when it does not involve interests in the eyes of the emperor." ”
Mu Xiyue's voice was steady, word by word came out of his mouth, and passed into the emperor's ears, seeing that the expression on the emperor's face had instantly darkened, his hands under his sleeves couldn't help but clench.
"Bastard! Don't think that if you are Mu Xianghui's daughter, I won't touch you! With your presumptuous words, I can cure you of a sin of disrespect! ”
The emperor was touched by the scales, with a look on his face, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Mu Xiyue, and his eyes were quickly covered with red bloodshots.
It's not slander, it's a fact, it's a fact that the emperor has always regretted, and it's a fact that he doesn't dare to mention!
"Actually, as early as when the thirteenth prince forced the palace, the emperor already regretted it, right? After all these years, do you often dream of her? ”
Mu Xiyue smiled on her lips, and as she spoke, she strode to the screen behind the emperor, and her watery eyes fell on the screen like waves, rippling with waves.
I once heard Concubine Duan's mother mention that a screen that has been placed in the emperor's imperial study for many years was embroidered by Zhang Yaruo herself, and every silk thread was smoked with awakening incense to ensure that the emperor could be sober-minded when reviewing documents.
Although so many years have passed, there is no smell on the screen, but this screen seems to have become a thought, so many years no one is allowed to touch it at will, but also let people overhaul and maintain it every year.
Following Mu Xiyue's gaze towards the screen, the emperor's face froze, his heart fluctuated, and the corners of his lips trembled, but something seemed to be choked in his throat, and it took a long time to speak.
"What the hell are you trying to say!"
After saying a word, the emperor's hand had already slapped on the table, and with a bang, the cups on the table splashed water, wetting the approaching documents!
Knowing that Mu Xiyue was deliberately provoking herself, the emperor still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and I have to say that in the matter of Lei Tianchen, in the face of this girl, he was still a little weak-hearted.
For the emperor's anger, Mu Xiyue had already been prepared, and the sound in her ears did not make her expression change, but looked at the emperor's gaze, and the corners of her lips hooked.
"What I want to say is that I can go to the appointment of the Eighth Prince of Red Flame, but I will not agree to Lei Tianchen's request for peace!"
Mu Xiyue's voice was clear, and the expression on her face was a bit dignified that could not be denied, not to discuss, but to deny.
The trembling hand stiffened suddenly, the emperor's cold eyes looked at Mu Xiyue, a flash of essence flashed leisurely under his eyes, and the expression on his face was even more gloomy.
"You don't agree?" While speaking, the emperor turned to look at Mu Xiyue, glared, and roared: "If I get married, will it be difficult for you to resist the decree?" ”
"My marriage contract with Mo Yichen is also the emperor's decree, it was the emperor who first destroyed the Tianwei that he was supposed to maintain, I just followed the emperor and took the emperor as an example!" Mu Xiyue raised her head to meet the emperor, and a cold glow flashed between her clear eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You!"
The emperor was gagged by Mu Xiyue, and the words that he wanted to say were suffocated, his eyes swept over Mu Xiyue's face, looking at her fearless expression, and suddenly saw Mu Xianghui who helped him win the world back then, his heart trembled suddenly, and the anger in his heart was instantly extinguished.
In her sleeve, Mu Xiyue held Bai Jue in her hand a little tighter, challenging the emperor's limit, Mu Xiyue felt a little apprehensive in her heart, but she knew that if she didn't let the emperor recognize it clearly, Lei Tianchen's harmony would always be a thunder that didn't know when it sounded.
"Even if you are Mu Xianghui's orphan, if you offend my Tianwei, you will be punished as well, you are a smart person, you should know that it is not wise to have fear!"
The emperor secretly clenched his teeth, and a few words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth, with a momentum to bite.
Looking up at the emperor's eyes, Mu Xiyue's eyes flashed, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she brought out a light smile: "Xiyue knows that there is no backstage behind her, if she says that there is, it is just relying on Mo Yichen's feelings for me, so how dare you have no fear?" ”
Mu Xiyue's voice was calm, and she left Concubine Duan out with one sentence, this matter has nothing to do with others, no matter what the consequences are, she doesn't want to implicate anyone.
"Mo Yichen grew up beside me since he was a child, do you think he will turn against me for the sake of just one woman?" The emperor's cold eyes stared at Mu Xiyue, and he stretched out his finger to her, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Whether Mo Yichen will be opposed, the emperor naturally knows better than me, and others are speechless!"
is still such a calm and indifferent voice, between Mu Xiyue's words, a light flashed in his eyes, the emperor himself knows in his heart, Mo Yichen has great righteousness, and he is the most trusted general in the world.
For more than 20 years, Mo Yichen has galloped on the battlefield, he has the mind that a big man should have, and he has never been burdened by the private affairs of his children, it is precisely because the emperor understands that he will move the mind of pointing Mu Xiyue to Lei Tianchen.
It's not that Mu Xiyue has no fear, but the emperor!
After saying a word, Mu Xiyue turned to look at the emperor, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and a light smile appeared.
"However, if the emperor really broke his promise, even if Mo Yiji did not rebel, would you still use him as recklessly as before? Once there is no resolute trust between the monarch and the minister, there is no value! ”
One sentence hits the nail on the head!
The emperor's face flashed, his expression froze instantly, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
She was right, even if Mo Yichen didn't have the opposite mind, but he should also be on guard in his heart, and when the lessons of the previous dynasty appeared in his mind again, the emperor suddenly felt a dull pressure.
"This fast Bai Jue, someone asked me to transfer it to the emperor, Zhang Yaruo has never hated in her life, there is no resentment, only love!"
Turning around and taking the look on the emperor's face into his eyes, Mu Xiyue sighed leisurely, stretched out his hand, and handed Bai Jue, who had been holding in his hand just now, to the emperor.
When the emperor's eyes fell on the Bai Jue, his eyes suddenly widened, his face was shocked and excited, and the corners of his face and lips began to tremble.
