Duan Chongde did not delay in the slightest, and directly asked people to prepare the carriage and prepare to go to the palace non-stop, but he didn't know that when he was on his way, Duan Qiyun and Lin Muran had already arrived at the palace.

In fact, Duan Qiyun didn't really want to come to the palace, but the emperor just wanted to see them, and he knew that there must be a scolding, and the two of them were like frosted eggplants, extremely unwilling, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he still went to the imperial study.

The emperor was very annoyed last time when he knew that the county lord of Jin Guo was lost by them, but fortunately they found the county lord safely, otherwise the two countries would definitely be at war, and it would be the people who would be unlucky at that time.

When he came to the imperial study, Duan Qiyun walked in front, Lin Muran followed closely behind, and both came to the emperor.

Looking at the man sitting in the hall, his face was full of anger, his face was ugly, his eyes (yinyin) looked at them secretly, and the hun (body shēn) exuded the intimidation of the king up and down, which made the two of them shudder.

"The emperor is auspicious!"

The two of them knelt down and said in unison, their faces no longer playful before, but with a serious and indifferent look, and they bowed respectfully.

The emperor's face was very ugly, especially when he saw that they were still playful when they came in, looking at the two kneeling down in the hall, he slapped the table hard, his eyes were full of anger, and he stood up directly from the stool.

"I asked you to entertain the county lord of the Jin country, but you let her be taken away by the gangsters, if something happens to the county lord of the Jin country here, which of you can bear the consequences!"

A loud bang had already resounded throughout the imperial study, and then there was a man's roar, which made the two kneeling faces a little pale, kneeling on the ground without speaking, but their heartbeats were a little faster.

Lin Muran didn't think so, although his voice was very loud, and he really scared her just now, but she was still a little disdainful, and whispered in her mouth: "Didn't you bring it back?" ”

The voice was too small, only Duan Qiyun on the side heard it, and the emperor was in a rage, just reprimanding them, and he didn't hear her muttering.

Hearing her whispering, Duan Qiyun raised his head slightly, seeing that the people in the hall didn't notice what she had just said, he still reminded her with his arm and signaled her not to speak.

Lin Muran was stunned by her, and his heart was even more aggrieved, his voice was a little louder, and he said with a hint of complaint: "

What are you scolding me for, I'm telling the truth. ”

looked at the person in front of him with his head down, his face was a little dissatisfied, and he was about to say something, but he suddenly felt that the surroundings were a little quiet, and even felt a little cold behind him, frowning, and feeling a little nervous in his heart.

Raising his head, he met the cold and cold gaze of the people in the hall, and suddenly fell down, and quickly knelt down straight, pretending that nothing had happened.

Seeing their disdainful appearance, the emperor hated iron even more and wanted to teach them a good lesson. Looking at the two people who looked at each other, their eyes darkened, and they roared angrily: "Come on, drag me out, and punish me with fifty rods, so as to set an example!" ”

After speaking, the emperor directly turned his back (body shēn), Hun (body shēn) was trembling with anger, and did not want to look at them, only to hear a sound of footsteps, presumably the guards came up, wanted to take them down, closed his eyes, and sorted out his (qing) thoughts.

Duan Qiyun was actually willing to be punished, because this incident was indeed due to her negligence, but Lin Muran had nothing to do with this matter, and now she wanted her to be punished with herself, and she inevitably felt a little guilty in her heart.

Just as they were about to be taken away by the guards, a crisp and calm voice interrupted them and came straight in front of them.

"Your Majesty, slow down!"

The faces of the two who were about to be punished were already full of loneliness, but when they heard her voice, they seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and their faces showed joy, and they stood in place waiting for her to come.

When the emperor heard this, he turned around and saw the people coming from the door of the imperial study, frowned, and was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty!" When he came to the imperial study, looking at the man standing in the hall with a puzzled look, the county lord of Jin Guo did not intend to tell him his intention directly, but respectfully bowed.

Looking at the person kneeling on the ground, although the emperor was puzzled, he quickly stretched out his hand, and said with the same respectful look: "County Lord, please get up quickly." ”

The county lord of Jinguo, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up, raised his eyes to look at the emperor in the hall, and the two people who were escorted by the guards next to him, bent down, bowed to him, and said with a hint of pleading: "Your Majesty, the two young ladies have a life-saving grace for me, and I ask the emperor to let them go." ”

Lin Muran raised his eyebrows, looked at the guards who were still holding him, and directly shook off their hands that grabbed him, and then rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders

and looked at them defiantly.

The emperor was puzzled, sat down slowly, raised his eyes and looked at the county lord of Jin Guo with a sincere face in front of him, and felt a little puzzled.

Seeing his incomprehension, the county lord of Jin Guo raised his head, with a soft smile on his face, and explained: "Isn't there an old saying, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring." Besides, the two young ladies were a lifesaver to me, how could I let them be punished for me. ”

"But they neglected their duties and caused the county lord to be kidnapped, if something happens to you, how can I explain to the emperor of the Jin country." The emperor frowned, his face was a little embarrassed, and his eyes were full of annoyance when he looked at Duan Qiyun and Lin Muran.

The county lord of Jin Guo wanted to say something, but he interrupted him again, "Besides, if I don't punish me, I won't be able to explain to the civil and military officials and the people." ”

Duan Qiyun looked at the embarrassed faces of the people in the hall, and she inevitably felt a little guilty in her heart, and wanted to kneel down to ask for guilt, as long as she didn't drag others down, she was willing to be punished.

Just about to kneel, the county lord of Jin Guo next to him directly stretched out his hand to stop her kneeling movements, looked up suspiciously, met her peaceful appearance, and saw her smile at herself, a little stunned.

Her face was full of smiles, and she said a little playfully: "Your Majesty, don't you also have any claims to make up for your mistakes?" Anyway, I'm not hurt, and I'm all peace-oriented, so how can I embarrass the emperor? ”

After speaking, he turned (身shēn) to look at the back of (身shēn) and winked at them, revealing his neat and white teeth, signaling them to rest assured.

The emperor had no choice but to give up the matter, waved his hand to signal the guards to go down, and was about to let the three of them call down as well, when he suddenly heard a vicissitudes of life and a powerful voice, and shouted with some annoyance: "The emperor can't!" ”

The four of them were stunned, all of them stood in place and did not move, looking out of the door with dull eyes, only Duan Qiyun knew who this man was, and sneered, his eyes full of disdain to welcome his arrival.

"Your Majesty, don't give up hastily, our relationship with the Jin Kingdom has always been peaceful, if they know that something happened to the county lord here, the emperor can't pay it back, it will definitely cause discord between the two countries, and please think twice!"

The person next to him knelt directly on the ground, because he came in too much of a hurry, so there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, and his voice was full of urgency, as if he was really thinking about the emperor.
