Chapter 31: Tearing the Skin
Everyone looked at the corner, where stood a dark-skinned and petite man, who at first glance thought was a servant of the palace. But everyone knows that this person is someone from the emperor's side.
Lord Wang stepped forward and stammered, "Go back to ...... Back to the emperor, disaster relief money ......"
As soon as the emperor saw him, he immediately waved his hand to stop him from what he was talking about. He didn't want to hear what he said anymore, the matter of fraudulent donation of disaster relief funds was the moth that this person gave him, and now that this person appeared here, it was self-evident what he wanted to say.
If he is allowed to tell the truth of the matter, where will his face be saved? Thinking like this, the emperor said with a dark face: "The matter of disaster relief funds." I can ignore it, but the regent has repeatedly turned against me, and I must punish you! ”
However, no one intended to give him this opportunity to be punished. The queen stopped the loss in time, called the emperor who was already on the verge of collapse, and said: "Today is the birthday of this palace, not your court, what's the matter, can't you wait until today?" ”
The queen walked down, helped up the Huai River, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and said coldly: "The regent has merit in controlling the water, he is the hero of my court, and the hero should be a beauty, the regent, Huai He, the palace will be handed over to you." ”
The purpose of her birthday banquet today is to maintain peace between the two countries, no matter what happens, harmony is a necessary process. Otherwise, after today, when Huaihe goes back, there will be no way to communicate to the king of the Western Regions.
Yun Jingyao didn't think about it, so he refused: "This king has no plans to marry a wife. After a pause, Yun Jingyao felt that his refusal was too categorical, and it was inevitable that he would not provoke Huaihe's anger, and explained: "In order to avoid high merit." ”
After being rejected, Huai He's mood of excitement and anticipation a second ago instantly dropped to the freezing point, she made a straight face and laughed twice. originally thought that identity was the biggest bargaining chip she could match with the regent, but now that it looks like identity, it has become a burden.
Judging from the current situation, if she insists on marrying, she will only harm Yun Jingyao in the end, after all, the emperor has already moved to kill him.
Thinking like this, Huaihe sighed twice, raised his eyebrows and said: "I Huaihe don't have to rely on the regent not to leave, the matter of marrying is related to the interests of the two countries, how can I easily make a decision?" Everything is up to the emperor's arrangement. ”
Although you can't marry the regent, it doesn't matter who you marry.
The emperor is already dizzy at the moment, where will he take care of the affairs of the Huai River, who cares about the affairs of the border passes, anyway, no matter what he does, he is always inferior to the respected Yun Jingyao.
He waved his sleeves and said coldly: "The queen's birthday banquet, the queen will make her own decision!" ”
After speaking, the emperor did not look back, and walked out of the imperial garden. The ministers stared at the emperor's distant back, looking at each other for a while, and they were all a little at a loss. At a loss, the banquet still had to go on as usual.
The queen smiled far-fetchedly, and pretended to be calm: "Sit down." ”
The banquet went on as usual, the regent pulled Su Mujin to sit down, and Su Muyun stood next to him, his face was blue and red for a while. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and sat on the other side of Yun Jingyao.
The Lord Regent was eating his tea, and he looked the same as before, but in fact, his heart had been turned upside down.
Now that the emperor has put his hatred for him on the surface, he doesn't have to think about it in the future and knows how much better it will be. So, should he rebel as the ministers think?
At this moment, Su Mujin grabbed his hand, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had a stiff relationship with the emperor like this, I'm sorry." ”
"Lord Wang," Su Muyun saw the two of them talking to each other, her heart was so sour that she didn't feel good, she called out to Yun Jingyao, and said with a smile: "The queen's birthday banquet, I don't know what the prince has prepared?" The concubine was very curious. ”
Yun Jingyao glanced at her and said lightly, "I didn't send it." ”
"Huh?" Su Muyun was a little surprised, according to the rules, the regent should be sending things, he was already very bad with the emperor, and if he was special at this moment, wouldn't he slack off the queen?
Yun Jingyao said: "There is a lady to send." ”
In other words, what Su Mujin sent represented his identity. And what about her? She Su Muyun, the dignified princess, is just an outsider after all, is she nothing?
Su Muyun smiled extremely far-fetched, and with a smile, she turned her head, "I didn't expect that the prince still values his sister so much." ”
After speaking, she looked up at the queen, who was talking to Huaihe, and from such a distance, I don't know what they said, and the two of them didn't seem to be very happy.
When Su Muyun looked at the queen, Huai He also turned his head to look at her. They glanced at each other, and Huai He suddenly said: "Cousin, on your birthday, my cousin gave you a scimitar, the knife is a unique knife on our grassland, naturally it is not as good as the things here, and I suddenly want to see what strange treasures other people have sent." ”
When the other ministers with sharp ears heard this, someone immediately rushed forward first and offered their treasures to the queen.
This person dragged a pagoda, first bowed, and then said: "Queen Mother, such a thing in the hands of Weichen is called Linglong Pagoda, according to legend, it is the tower in the hands of King Li Tian, which can suppress demons and drive away evil spirits. ”
The queen nodded, "Good thing." ”
She stopped and motioned to the palace maid beside her to pick up the things sent by the man.
At this time, Su Mujin's side suddenly had someone on Su Mujin's side hurriedly ran over, and said a few words to Su Mujin in his ear, Su Mujin frowned, turned back to Yun Jingyao and said, "I have something to do, go out first." ”
Looking at Su Mujin's panicked appearance, Su Muyun smiled.
After going out, Su Mujin took off his panicked appearance, and said extremely calmly: "Are you sure that my seven-colored stone was smashed by someone?" ”
The man's face was full of worry, "Exactly." ”
At this juncture, the seven-colored stone was suddenly smashed, how can this be good?
Su Mujin hooked her lips, because she had already expected such a thing to happen, so she was not surprised. Su Mujin yawned lazily and said, "If the stone is broken, it will be broken, who stipulates that the seven-colored stone must be together?" ”
After saying that, she said, "Take me to see my stones." ”
On the way, Su Mujin saw a lot of people wearing foreign costumes on the side of the road, and couldn't help asking, "Who are they?" ”
"They are dancers sent by the Western Regions, who are dedicated to the birthday of the queen."
"Okay." Here's her chance.
