Chapter 575: I Want Your Lives
The baby was still in Liu Qingyan's arms, looking at these things, he only felt that he didn't know, and asked ignorantly and innocently: "Father, mother, what are these things for?" Is it possible to play? For a child as young as him, things in the world basically only have two functions, one is to play and the other is to eat, but he also knows that the dagger and the white silk don't seem to be edible, as for the small bottle, he has seen a lot of it with his mother and the divine doctor, and knows that it must contain medicine and other things, and medicine must not be eaten.
The child's voice and questioning, all with a bit of innocence and childlike fun, but everyone present couldn't laugh, Liu Qingyan was also in his ear, softly but very patiently said: "Baby, these can't be played, and it's not fun at all." ”
"Then what is this uncle doing with it?" The baby still didn't understand, and continued to ask in the spirit of "100,000 whys".
Liu Qingyan didn't answer, but looked at the emperor, as if he wanted the baby to ask the emperor, and then let the emperor answer this question. In the face of such a child full of innocence and childlike fun, the emperor even hesitated for a while, and the answer "I want your life" was on his lips, but it seemed that he couldn't say it all of a sudden.
The baby's polite shouting of "uncle" was heard in the emperor's ears, but it caused a lot of ripples in his heart. As an emperor, his age can be said to be not small, and there are not a few concubines in the harem, but for so long, not a single child has been born, even if it is the news of pregnancy, he has never heard of it. There has been a lot of criticism among the ministers, and it is because of this that it was decided to hold a beauty pageant in a few months. In fact, the emperor himself didn't think there was anything, but when he saw this baby today and heard his shout, the emperor also began to think that if he also had a child, it would actually be a good thing.
Of course, if this child is born by himself and Liu Qingyan, whether it is a boy or a girl, it is certain that he will be beautiful. Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes kept spinning on Liu Qingyan's body.
It is men who understand the connotation of this kind of look, Xuanyuan Yichen did not say a word, took action directly, and stepped forward just in front of Liu Qingyan. Even if they are all fish and meat on the emperor's chopping board, Xuanyuan Yichen still has to protect his wife.
The emperor sneered, retracted the little tenderness that had been produced in his heart with great difficulty, he retreated again and again, and returned to his throne, and the guards immediately swarmed up, surrounding the emperor in the middle. The emperor seemed to feel very secure, and looked at the three people below who were also surrounded by the group, and said: "The idle king's mansion gathered people to rebel, trespassed on the palace, bullied the king, spread my will, and put the idle king, the idle princess, and the little prince all in prison!" If you dare to disobey, you will not be spared! ”
It's the same encirclement, but the meaning is the opposite. The guards around the emperor are here to protect him. The guards around the three members of the Xianwang Mansion are guarding against them and may kill them at any time.
The emperor's will is indeed expected by everyone, and now, just wait and see whether this family of three will be captured or the Jedi will fight back.
In the entire hall, the cold light was shining, and the murderous aura was bursting. To everyone's surprise, but it was exactly what the vast majority of people present hoped for to happen: King Xian and Princess Xian didn't say a word, and let these guards around them capture them and then take them away!
However, the guards are also smart people, although they strictly guard against the idle king, but they still dare not do anything to the idle princess, as long as she is willing to go with her, the guards do not do anything to her, nor do they care about the fact that she always holds a baby in her arms. And this, obviously, also waited until the emperor's permission.
In addition, the common people outside the palace have not dispersed yet, but without the backbone of the idle king, they seem to be a lot looser. The guards sent out by the emperor stood in front of them with sharp weapons, and many people were so frightened that they hurriedly left. The people who barely remained here did not dare to break in. The emperor didn't have any mercy, and deliberately caught a few chickens and monkeys, so that they could know that they didn't know how to do it, follow the idle king, and then go against the emperor, they won't end well!
The thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the matter of trespassing on the palace seemed to be solved in this way, although this was what everyone wanted, but it was also something that everyone would not believe. The emperor himself would not agree to be the first one, he did not go to the Zongren Mansion in person, but immediately asked Gonggong Li to pass on a word, telling the two idle kings and princesses who were divided into prisons, and give them three days to think about it. The emperor has only one condition, and that is to let Liu Qingyan be his queen. If she agreed, all the conditions she had agreed to would be fulfilled immediately. If she doesn't agree, her husband and children will die in front of her with a thousand cuts, and she will not be able to escape the fate of becoming the emperor's woman after all.
The emperor cares about whether Liu Qingyan is willing and agrees in person, but what he cares more about is whether Liu Qingyan can be by his side. No matter what happens, no matter what the price is paid, he is always determined to win Liu Qingyan!
The city is full of wind and rain, as if it has disappeared invisibly, but in fact, it is quietly brewing and accumulating, as long as it reaches a certain time, it will all burst out at once, and it will be impossible to clean up!
The people were taken down, and the guards followed out, and there were still people around the emperor to protect them, but the number of people had decreased a lot. The entire hall seemed to have become a lot emptyer all of a sudden. The ministers, who had been cowering in the corner, also seized the opportunity to return to their original positions, and still maintained a kneeling posture.
Looking at this group of useless ministers, the emperor felt even more irritable, and then said angrily: "What else do you have to say, if not, get out of here!" ”
The ministers all looked ugly, and they had a lot to say, but when the emperor asked him like this, no one dared to say it. The emperor didn't have the patience to wait, and when he was about to let the eunuch announce his retirement from the court, he heard it from an unknown corner; Suddenly, a small and somewhat transfigured voice came out: "Red face and troubled water!" ”
This obviously means that he has something to say, but he can't let the emperor know whose mouth it came from, although the emperor's ears are pointed, he can hear these four words clearly, and then he looks in the direction where the voice came from, and his eyes wander around the bodies of those suspicious people, but he can't be sure who said it.
This can not be investigated, but the four words "red face and trouble" really say what the emperor is doing at this moment, he either simply don't care about the idle king, but since the idle king is locked up, then he should be executed immediately, but he still has to be locked up, leaving himself with such a big trouble, in the final analysis, it is not because of Liu Qingyan.
If you want to blame, you can only blame it, when Liu Qingyan was the emperor's queen, he didn't see what people looked like, so he gave her to King Xian. Now that he sees it clearly, he is unwilling, and even wants to snatch it back. No matter how you look at it, you feel that the emperor is actually shameless and stupid to do this. Of course, no one would say this kind of thing in front of the emperor.
Finally, a minister stood up and bravely let the emperor know that the words were said by himself, but what he said was: "Your Majesty, you should continue to suffer from the chaos, and the idle king can't stay!" ”
The idle king and the idle princess, neither of them can stay.
How could the emperor not understand this truth. This time, they were edicted back a year in advance, and the emperor's purpose was exactly this. The so-called letting the idle king get wealth from the border and hand it over is just an excuse to start an incident. Everything is going well, and maybe it's working out now. But no one thought that just because Princess Xian suddenly showed her true face in front of everyone, the development of things would be greatly changed. For the sake of a woman, the emperor has temporarily put aside his country and his own safety.
Since ancient times, I don't know how many emperors and his country have been defeated in these four words, looking at the emperor in front of them, many ministers are speculating in their hearts, their emperor will also embark on this road of no return?
"I don't need you to teach me what I want to do!" The emperor swept over with cold eyes, the ministers quickly lowered their heads, and didn't dare to say anything, the emperor seemed to be very satisfied, glanced at the jade seal placed in front of him, and motioned to Gonggong Li on the side to hold it, and he was about to come with his hand.
Gonggong Li cautiously wanted to put the jade seal into the box, and then put it on the plate, so that he could leave, but as soon as he reached out and touched the jade seal, he suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty!" The voice was full of fear, and a pair of eyes widened even more, and the eyeballs seemed to fall out of their sockets.
As soon as the emperor turned around, he was about to reprimand Gonggong Li, but before he could make a sound, he also stared at a pair of round eyes, staring at the jade seal placed on the side. Gonggong Li had already withdrawn his hand, and now he was shaking even more, wanting to tell the emperor that it was none of his business, and he had already become like this before he touched it!
In front of the emperor, where is there any reason to talk about, he waved his hand, Gonggong Li stood unsteadily and rolled down directly from several steps high, and finally stopped, and he could even hear the sound of the bones on his body breaking, and a mouthful of blood spit out violently.
Many ministers actually didn't hear the low shout of Gonggong Li, and they were all ready to get up and leave, but suddenly they heard a loud noise, and when they raised their heads, they just saw Gonggong Li rolling down so miserably, and everyone was stunned. looked at the emperor again, and didn't even look at Gonggong Li, and looked at the jade seal in front of him.
When everyone was surprised, the ministers standing at the front suddenly screamed "ah", and the ministers behind really didn't know what was going on, but because of this, they were even more scared enough, and many people also shouted. It's like that night two years ago, watching how those two soldiers turned into bloody living dead, is the nightmare going to be repeated today?
The emperor held the jade seal in both hands and shouted: "Whatever is it called, shut up!" Otherwise, I'll cut off all your tongues!" ”
