Chapter 558: Let's Think About It

"Don't dare? I said I didn't dare, but I really didn't see anything you didn't dare! However, King Xiande and the eldest princess are right, I should indeed give you a chance to make amends. This time, the idle king must seize this opportunity, otherwise, I am afraid that no matter how great your credit is, it will not be worth the fault you put down in front of me! The emperor shook the long sword in his hand seemingly casually, and everyone pricked up their ears, waiting to hear what kind of conditions the emperor would put forward to make up for the merits.

It's just that some people suddenly feel indignant in their hearts, they have been frightened so much, they have suffered so much, especially the minister who is still fainting to death on the ground, and the blood on his face has not all coagulated, if he knows that he will become like this, but only a word from the prince and the princess will erase all what the emperor did to these ministers before, then how resentful he is, and how worthless he is!

It's a pity that these ministers are so worthless, so when the emperor changed his mind, he didn't even look at them more. He only fiddled with the long sword in his hand without listening, and seemed quite interested in the blood that remained on it, and from time to time he put the sword under his nose to ask about the smell of blood on it, and looked at him almost without sticking out his tongue to lick it and taste what the blood tasted like.

"Brother I understand." Xuanyuan Yichen said, and his heart was really the same as everyone else, guessing what conditions the emperor would say to make up for it.

Finally, the emperor didn't let everyone wait too long, so he heard him say: "The death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, and the merit will be made up, as long as the idle king hands over everything you have harvested at the border, what do you think?" ”

A condition that is completely beyond anyone's expectations, the emperor is really quite persistent. It's just that he is clearly more sure to put forward this condition, and he still either agrees or goes to live in the cold palace for a while until they agree. And now, it becomes, either agree, or there is only a dead end.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan secretly felt funny in their hearts, the emperor seemed to have really given them a great grace, but in fact, there was no difference at all. In fact, not to mention the two of them, the hearts of many ministers present are not clear and clear. It's just that everyone can see through it, but they can't say it.

"Your Majesty, the two of you still hope that you can give us a few more days so that we can think about it?" After Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan met with a look, the two finally came to this conclusion.

"Humph!" The emperor sneered greatly, "King Xian, it's already this time, why do you think I want to listen to you?" "The emperor's meaning is clear, he said before that they should think about it, but they refused. Now as soon as he said yes or die, his mother hurried back to find the condition he had agreed before. If the emperor really agreed, wouldn't he be teased by them?

Just when all the ministers were waiting to see the emperor lash out again or wave the long sword in his hand again, no one could have imagined that the emperor would change his words and agree again, only to hear him say: "Very good." For the sake of you and my brothers, I will give you another chance. Gonggong Li, quickly take King Xian and Princess Xian to the palace arranged for them. ”

In fact, even Gonggong Li didn't think of this. He couldn't figure it out, it was clear that there was such a good opportunity in front of him, why did the emperor go far and wide. The only plausible explanation may be that it is a game of cat and mouse, where the cat knows that the mouse is under its control, but it is not in a hurry to eat, so it plays with the mouse and finds it more and more interesting. The emperor is this confident cat, and of course the idle king is in a hurry to become the mouse he thinks will not escape from the palm of his hand.

Gonggong Li has been standing aside, and at this time he quickly agreed yes. However, the emperor was not in a hurry to let them leave like this, and instead looked at the eldest princess who was still standing between the idle king and the idle princess, and had not let go of her hand, and asked with a gloomy smile: "Eldest princess, I also give you a choice, whether to follow the two of them, or go back to your own palace?" ”

The eldest princess didn't think about it, she let go of one hand and grabbed the package she had just thrown down on the table, put it on her wrist, and then grabbed their hands, as if she was afraid that the two of them would throw her away at once, or that she herself would be taken away by the emperor's people, only one hand that grabbed the two of them could ensure that the three of them were always together. Anyway, she had already decided from the moment she rushed out, no matter what happened, she must be by their side. If something happened outside the palace, she couldn't even get out of the palace herself, and she couldn't help anything. But this is in the palace, and it can be said that half of her territory is over, if she can't protect these two people, she herself is afraid that she will live in apology for them for the rest of her life.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan understood that the eldest princess wanted to protect them, and in fact, they had also moved this mind, and if they didn't let her come with them, maybe they could let her go to the Xianwang Mansion to help them take care of the baby. But when I thought about it again, in fact, the relationship between the three of them was not very good, not to mention that they were brothers and sisters of the royal family, and they would naturally have a lot of concerns and disbelief in each other. Not to mention, with the eldest princess's temperament and intelligence, they really can't rest assured. is even more worried that the emperor will send someone to follow her behind her back, so that he obviously wants her to help take care of the baby, but because of her, it has brought more trouble to the baby.

Although the husband and wife actually didn't want the eldest princess to go to the cold palace with them, they didn't want the eldest princess to face the foreseeable danger with them. But since the eldest princess herself is unwilling to leave, and they don't worry about letting her take care of the baby, the best way is to follow them. At most, it would be nice for the two of them to take care of and protect themselves and spend some energy to take care of and protect her.

"Please!" The idea has been decided, Gonggong Li knew the emperor's arrangement, so he wanted to invite the prince, the princess and the princess to leave first. On the other side, a few steps away, King Xiande and Princess Xiande even had this idea, wanting to go with them, but they probably felt that this was too presumptuous to do so, and they couldn't help anything but cause trouble. They didn't say anything, but when they saw Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan looking at them as if they were coming from their side, both husband and wife nodded solemnly, and told them with the same firm eyes that no matter what happened, they would definitely not stand idly by.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan blinked their eyes and nodded, comprehending their kindness. Under the guidance of Gonggong Li, the two of them and the eldest princess in the middle, holding hands, walked out from behind the table where they were standing and came to the center of the banquet hall in full view of the ministers, and waiting for them in front of them were still dozens of guards at the door, holding long swords in their hands and pointing in their direction. The emperor has not said anything, and they dare not have any intention of taking it back.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan looked at it coldly, and they didn't move forward anymore. But the eldest princess was obviously a little impatient, so she simply said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you don't let them let him open, how can we get out?" I guess she felt in her heart that it must be safer to go anywhere than to stay here. It's a pity that Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan feel in their hearts that maybe it is safe to stay here. On the contrary, after going out, it is even more unsafe.

The emperor actually wanted to see these people under his hands and the swords in their hands to make Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan feel a little scared, at least to show a little bit of a scared look. But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see the slightest hint of it on their faces. And the eldest princess's fear and impatience were not what he wanted to see at all, and had no other effect than to make him feel more irritable and angry. He waved his hand, and after the guards got permission, they began to put away the long sword in their hands, and slowly moved out of the way to the sides, so that the people in front of them could pass smoothly.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan took the eldest princess's hand, and then walked to the door in a hurry. With their movements, even these people who were guarding the door were also out of the way. Everyone craned their necks to look at the door, and even secretly hoped that it would be great if they were the ones who went out at this time, and once they went out, they could return to their mansions immediately. But on second thought, if it was the same as King Xian, Princess Xian and the eldest princess, although they left here, they still had to stay in the palace, and they didn't know how long they would stay, then they were still willing to wait a little longer.

It was only at this time, the deeper and longer the neck, and under the bright lights, everyone saw more and more clearly that the guards guarding outside the banquet hall were really not a little bit more. At first, they thought that at most it was a few dozen, and hundreds were a remarkable number. But seeing that the line of people standing on both sides of the road, holding the bright swords, was getting longer and longer, and the head was outside the door, but it seemed that they couldn't see where its tail was, everyone knew that there might be hundreds of people outside, to say the least. This does not include the fact that the vertical length of the team is so long, and its horizontal development may be very wide, and the number is much more than everyone guesses at this time. In order to be able to trap the idle king and the idle princess, including so many of their ministers, the emperor actually sent so many people, which can really be described as well-intentioned.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan saw the situation outside clearly, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, brothers did their part, and both sides were eager to get rid of each other as soon as possible, which could be regarded as unique. They didn't know whether they should be happy, the emperor had made such great preparations as if he were facing a great enemy, and it seemed that he really cared about them very much; I should still worry that the emperor has made so many preparations, which is very beneficial to the emperor, and for the two of them, it is a very unfavorable thing.
