Wei Liu walked silently on the road, he had been in Tianyao for more than ten years, except for the initial ceremony and the annual feast, the emperor had never summoned him.

This kind of thing has always been made of blood and hidden knives, and no one believes that a prince who is sent out as a hostage will really have much significance to that country.

As long as he lives in Tianyao for one day, the emperor of Tianyao and the people of Tianyao can show off to others how beautiful they used to be and trample Nanchu under their feet.

In addition to this role, Wei Liu is nothing more than an insignificant waste person to Tianyao.

Wei Liu knows this very well, he has deliberately kept his head in obscurity over the years, and has never done anything that will attract attention, so although his life is not good, it is definitely not bad, but this time, he is impulsive after all.

The emperor suddenly called him over, and the blessings and misfortunes were unpredictable, but Wei Liu's face had no expression, it was still the same as usual, faint, and elegant, as if no matter what happened, it was just a disturbance in the world, and it had nothing to do with him.

When he arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion, the emperor was waiting for him, and the two of them exchanged polite words according to the etiquette, and the emperor suddenly said: "Prince Weiliu, I called you this time, and I really have something important to tell you." ”

Wei Liu bowed and said, "Please ask the emperor for advice." ”

The emperor picked up a letter from the table, handed it to Wei Liu, and said: "Your father is seriously ill and may die soon. ”

When the emperor spoke, Wei Liu was also unfolding the paper to read, the letter was not long, and after the emperor finished speaking, Wei Liu had already finished reading it.

"Prince Weiliu, what do you think of this matter?" The Emperor asked, staring at Wei Liu without blinking, observing his reaction.

Wei Liu hung his head, his face remained unmoved, for a long time, he got up and saluted the emperor, and said: "The matter of the family, let the emperor smile, Wei Liu has no intention of fighting for power and profit, but the imperial brother does not believe it, if the imperial brother must be like this to be at ease, Wei Liu respectfully invited the emperor, and fulfilled his brother's wish." ”

"You're not afraid of death?" The Emperor asked.

"As soon as Wei Liu dies, if he can exchange for the peace of Nanchu, Wei Liu is willing to die." Wei Liu said indifferently.

This sentence successfully attracted the emperor's attention, and he squinted at Wei Liu, if Nanchu was peaceful, wouldn't Tianyao have a cheap advantage? In this way, this prince is still alive and well.

It's best to put him back and make a fight with the Great Prince of Southern Chu.

The emperor smiled and said, "The two countries are still at war without killing them, and the prince of Weiliu is a noble prince, how can I kill you lightly?" Prince Weiliu can rest assured, your imperial brother is unkind and unjust, how can I be a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong? ”

"Your Majesty." The emperor said it so open-mindedly, but Wei Liu didn't have much gratitude, as if he just said it for courtesy.

The emperor said again: "I have approved what Prince Weiliu asked before, I know that General Hongyan saved your life when he sent you to Beijing, and you should go to see her daughter, so you should take someone with you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Liu thanked him and turned to exit the warm pavilion.

As soon as Wei Liu's figure disappeared, the smile on the emperor's face immediately disappeared, and he asked the chief eunuch who had been standing beside him, "Gao Peisheng, what do you think?" ”

Gao Peisheng lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "The old slave doesn't dare to speak out. ”

"Hmph, what's not the heart to fight for power." The emperor snorted coldly and said: "At the moment of life and death, he can still be so calm, and he is not in a hurry to dig a pit in his words for me to jump, such a person is either a natural saint, or a natural wolf ambition." ”

Gao Peisheng still lowered his eyebrows, he knew that the emperor didn't want to listen to his opinion, what he wanted to do had already been decided, he just had to listen to the emperor's orders.

Sure enough, the emperor said: "This Nanchu child can't stay." ”

After walking a few steps in the warm pavilion with his hands behind his back, the emperor said: "But you can't kill in the capital, the killing is too obvious, and the world will definitely slander me for being cruel and immoral." ”

Turning his gaze to Gao Peisheng, he asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Gao Peisheng is the eunuch who has followed the emperor for the longest time, since the emperor was an unknown prince, and he accompanied the emperor throughout the days when he was fighting the world.

The royal families of all dynasties have an extremely mysterious force, although the number of this force is small, but the ability is very powerful, they are not in the establishment, they are not controlled by anyone, they are only directly responsible to the emperor, and Gao Peisheng is the person in charge of this force.

For the emperor, he is not only a servant who serves him personally, but also the person the emperor trusts the most.

At this time, he drooped his eyes from beginning to end, and he never even raised his head, and when he heard the emperor ask, he still maintained his original appearance, but he said slowly: "The queen mother is about to return to the court." ”

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he made up his mind in an instant.

……

Ruan Yanluo heard the news that Master Ruan had returned from the next dynasty, regardless of his weak body, got up and ran to the study.

She really wanted to know the answer to that question, how powerful her father was, and how much could the emperor be jealous.

When he ran to the study, Master Ruan had already changed his clothes and was about to take a cup of tea from the maid.

Seeing Ruan Yanluo, Master Ruan stopped his movements, waved his hand and motioned for everyone else to go down, the maid put the tea aside and went down, and only the father and daughter were left in the study.

Ruan Yanluo walked over, personally brought the tea to Master Ruan's hand, and asked softly, "Dad, has my daughter embarrassed you?" ”

No matter how big the hole cards in Master Ruan's hand are, Nangong Xuan is a genuine prince after all, and the emperor can't really listen to Master Ruan to put him to death, but even if he doesn't execute him, it doesn't matter, Ruan Yanluo just hopes to put on the strongest attitude at the beginning, so that when bargaining, he can also get the greatest benefits.

Master Ruan took the tea and took a sip, then reached out and touched Ruan Yanluo's head, and said lovingly: "If you can't even do this little thing, what face do I have to be your father?" ”

Ruan Yanluo was looking for two words to comfort Master Ruan, but when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

How can it be? Master Ruan really did it? Did he really force the emperor to execute Nangong Xuan?

Master Ruan looked at Ruan Yanluo's expression and smiled even more kindly, just like a father suddenly took out a gift that his daughter couldn't think of, looking at his daughter's surprised expression, that feeling of satisfaction and pride.

"Dad, the emperor really agrees......"

Ruan Yanluo didn't continue, because it was too surprising, what was the hole card in Master Ruan's hand? even let the emperor give up his son's life.
