♂? ，，

Xuanyuan Yan got up and stretched out his hand to drape the mink fur he had put back on Ye Ruoxi's body: "When I go out in the future, I must wear this, what kind of thing in my heart is incomparable, and the beauty of the country is unparalleled." ”

Ye Ruoxi grinned, wrapped the mink fur on her body tightly, and the snow-white mink fur set off her jade-like face, delicate and smart, making Xuanyuan Yan stare for a long time and unwilling to look away.

"I'll take care of something first."

Ye Ruoxi didn't go to see Kang Yuanbang again, big brother take care of himself, fortunately, the big demon won't be too embarrassed, I won't participate, escape!

All the affairs of the court and politics, the affairs between the monarch and the ministers, especially the affairs related to Kang Yuanbang, she understands that it is better not to say a word and retreat. She has confidence in Xuanyuanyan, and she does this to show Xuanyuan Yan her trust and reasonableness.

This Xuanyuan Yan is the king of a country in the end, Kang Yuanbang said something that should not be said, and punished him to kneel for an hour or two, which is a very light punishment, and it is not a big deal to scold a few words.

If she stayed, not only would it be difficult for Xuanyuan Yan to speak, but Kang Yuanbang would also be embarrassed. That arrogant eldest brother would not want to be seen by her and be reprimanded and punished by the emperor.

Ye Ruoxi's hand scratched Xuanyuan Yan's palm a few times, and he turned around and walked out with a smile.

These unpowerful slaves, the emperor came without a prior notice, but this big demon overheard what she said to Kang Yuanbang, and now Kang Yuanbang is difficult to explain.

Ye Ruoxi raised his phoenix eyes, his gaze viciously swept over those slaves inside and outside the dormitory, and pieces of eye knives flew.

Those slaves were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and together with Jinxiu and the others, they didn't dare to come out, and they prostrate on the ground, and no one dared to say more.

The mother is angry, and the consequences are serious.

"All the people, go and get ten rods by themselves, and kneel outside in the snow to think!"

"Yes, thank you for your grace."

Everyone agreed in a low voice, the emperor can't afford to offend, Niangniang, they can't afford to offend. This lady is the person who the emperor holds in the palm of his hand, and he will punish them with ten rods, which is extremely light.

Jinxiu and Xiaoyun reluctantly lowered their heads and walked outside, the emperor came and ordered them not to make a sound, not to report, one look killed everyone in seconds, did they dare to go against the holy will?

Appoint, the masters are always right, who made them slaves.

Ye Ruoxi walked out of the dormitory, went to the next room to deal with the trivial matters of the harem, checked the accounts, almost all the mouse holes in the harem were dug out by her, and she must thoroughly investigate every corner of the palace and leave no hidden dangers.

Xuanyuan Yan didn't open his mouth for a long time, Kang Yuanbang didn't open his mouth when he was prostrate on the ground, and after saying those words, the emperor should punish the crime in any way, and he could only wait for the emperor's punishment.

"Get up."

"The minister knows the crime, but the minister doesn't dare, please ask the emperor to give punishment."

Kang Yuanbang stared down at the ground, his hands supported on the cold ground, feeling the coldness and hardness of the ground.

"I

Let it go, dare to resist the decree? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister knows that he is guilty, and he doesn't dare to get up."

"What's the sin?"

"Ministers privately criticize the Holy Lord, vainly speculate on the Holy Will, and deserve death."

Kang Yuanbang's tone was calm, maybe it was not a bad thing for the emperor to hear what he said in his heart today, at most he was reprimanded and punished, and the emperor would never punish him too heavily just because of his few words. However, he can see something from the attitude of the emperor today.

Even if he was demoted, Kang Yuanbang didn't take it very seriously, and he faintly looked forward to it in his heart, and the emperor was willing to belittle him, so as not to worry about the affairs of the Yan family, the Ming family, and several princes.

"Well, how should I be punished?"

Xuanyuan Yan asked lightly, took a sip of tea, what Kang Yuanbang and Ye Ruoxi said just now, he heard most of it, Ye Ruoxi's trust in him made him very satisfied, so he was in a good mood.

As for Kang Yuanbang's suspicions, it is also normal, it is not a big disrespect, in the end, he did not spread these words in other places, it was just a secret whisper between him and Ye Ruoxi's brothers and sisters.

"The crime of a minister should be degraded or even deposed as a commoner, or at worst, he should be sent to prison and suffer from imprisonment."

"The punishment set for yourself, I really spare no effort, saying that I want to be degraded or even deposed as a commoner? Or do you want to go to jail? ”

Kang Yuanbang stared down at Xuanyuan Yan's bright yellow dragon boots, what he said, how to deal with it, it was all the emperor's grace, how dare he overstep his bounds?

"Minister......

Kang Yuanbang couldn't help but pause for a moment before lowering his head and touching the ground with his forehead: "I implore the emperor to forgive one or two, stay with the ministers to do things for the emperor, and make the merit for the crime." ”

Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help laughing, this eldest brother was very transparent, knowing that he would not let him go, give him a chance to get out of his leisure, and he didn't dare to continue to disobey the holy will and say anything that he was willing to be degraded or go to prison.

"Understand, don't expect me to let me go just because I've done something. It's best not to make too big a mistake and disappoint me, otherwise I will be forced to talk to my father-in-law. ”

Kang Yuanbang was helpless, he had long known that this was the result, and he could still touch some of the emperor's thoughts.

"Get up."

"Thank you for your grace."

Kang Yuanbang got up from the ground and deliberately reached out to wipe his forehead.

"No cold sweat, no need to wipe it."

Xuanyuan Yan's words made Kang Yuanbang's forehead really appear a little cold sweat, how could this tone and attitude become more and more similar to his demonic sister?

"Your Majesty, I beg the emperor to forgive your sins, and the ministers will spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and please forgive the emperor for one or two."

"I have a lot of scruples and suspicions about me in my heart, I understand, Ning Bang, do you really think that those things are my doing?"

"The minister is guilty, and the minister is ...... in vain"

"If I ask, can't I answer it positively? Ning Bang, if you have anything in your heart, say it in front of me at this moment, ask it, are you worried that I will not be able to deceive? ”

Kang Yuanbang kneeled in front of Xuanyuan Yan with a puff: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister never dares to have such an idea." ”

"Don't dare, don't you dare in your mouth, don't you think so in your heart?"

"The minister asks the emperor to give punishment."

"Ruoxi's words are very right, my monarch and minister, there is a friendship of in-laws, what is the benefit of mutual suspicion in this eventful season? Ning Bang, can you explain the doubts in your heart and the words in your heart to me? I am also willing to exchange the thoughts and words in my heart, my brother and minister, can we be honest with each other? ”

Xuanyuan Yan reached out and grabbed Kang Yuanbang's arm, helped Kang Yuanbang up, and looked directly into Kang Yuanbang's eyes.

"The minister doesn't dare to be the emperor to say this, the minister is just the emperor's courtier, but the emperor has inquiries, and the minister doesn't dare and won't have half a lie."

"Isn't the eldest brother unwilling to treat me as a brother?"

"The minister doesn't dare to have this thought, the emperor is the king of a country, and the minister ......"

Looking at Xuanyuan Yan's earnest gaze in the deep ink, Kang Yuanbang paused, not knowing how to express it, being regarded as a brother by the emperor, he couldn't dare to have such thoughts.

"I am willing, because I understand that my father-in-law and eldest brother should treat me with the same heart."

"The Emperor's ......"

Kang Yuanbang's hands trembled.

"Eldest brother, my father-in-law's hard work, hard work, and the third brother, what they have done, for my father, for the Tanglin Kingdom, for me, when I am a person without a heart, don't you understand and be grateful?"

Xuanyuan Yan grabbed Kang Yuanbang's arm: "I did have a lot of doubts and suspicions about those things before, and I didn't hide them, because in the past few years, I walked alone in the dark, and I didn't dare to trust anyone easily." But we're doing it, I'm watching. Ruoxi is right, I should watch carefully and trust others more. And the Xi family, father-in-law and eldest brother, and the third brother are the people I can really trust! ”

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace."

"I can have today, the Xi family is indispensable, the position of the queen can only be Ruoxi's, I swear by my father's heroic spirit, I will never live up to Ruoxi and the Xi family."

Xuanyuan Yan knelt down, raised his hand in front of the imperial tomb and swore an oath: "I, Xuanyuan Yan, am willing to swear by the heroic spirits of my ancestors, the heroic spirits of the first emperor, and the heroic spirits of the queen mother, and I will never live up to Ye Ruoxi's affection for me, and the queen of the Tanglin Kingdom will always belong to Ye Ruoxi, and there will be no one else." I swear that I will never live up to the kindness and righteousness of the Xi family, and will never harm Ye Tianqing, Kang Yuanbang, Kang Yuanyuan and others. If I violate this oath, I Xuanyuan Yan will be infamous for thousands of years, and I will not die well! ”

Kang Yuanbang hurriedly knelt beside Xuanyuan Yan

, he was shocked, and hugged Xuanyuan Yan's raised hand:

"Your Majesty, please don't say that, don't say that, the ministers can't afford it, the emperor, the emperor ......"

Xuanyuan Yan raised his hands high, and refused to let go even if Kang Yuanbang shook and hugged him vigorously until he said the last sentence.

"Bang Bang ......"

Kang Yuanbang's forehead was slammed, forcing the monarch to swear so much in front of him, and he would never die.

"The death of the minister is still light, please give the minister a death, the death of the minister is not enough to atone for the sins......"

Kang Yuanbang's voice was choked, and the Tanglin Kingdom swore very seriously, especially Xuanyuan Yan swore in the name of the ancestors of the Tanglin Kingdom, the first emperor and the successives, how could he bear it.

Since Xuanyuan Yan made such an oath, it would never be violated.

"The Emperor's ......"

Kang Yuanbang prostrate at Xuanyuan Yan's feet, unable to say a word, Xuanyuan Yan made such a heavy oath in front of him, which was beyond his expectations.

"Big brother, is my big brother willing to be honest with me now?"

Xuanyuan Yan stretched out his hand to straighten Kang Yuanbang from the ground, hugged Kang Yuanbang's shoulder, and looked at Kang Yuanbang with sincerity in his eyes.

"Yes, the minister obeys the order, and the order is the ......"

Kang Yuanbang was speechless, and tears kept sliding down his face.

Xuanyuan Yan raised his hand to wipe the tears on Kang Yuanbang's face and smiled: "I didn't know that my eldest brother would also shed tears, and the court and the opposition would also have tears when they recited the cold-faced and iron-faced Lord Yushi?" ”

"Your Majesty, let the emperor laugh, the minister will know the crime, and the minister can only do not hesitate to die, serve the emperor for the work of dogs and horses, and only ask the emperor for forgiveness."

Xuanyuan Yan lifted Kang Yuanbang up from the ground: "The Xi family has always been loyal and has done too many things for the Tanglin Kingdom, and my mind must be clear." The matter of Concubine Yan and Concubine Ming was not done by me, if I wanted to do something, it would not be so urgent. Twenty years have passed, and I have endured it for so long, do I think I will be so urgent to show so many horses' feet? ”

"Yes, everything is the heart of the villain, ask the emperor for forgiveness."

"Several princes, I let them go to the imperial mausoleum, which is indeed to give them the opportunity to do things. I've given them a chance to live, and if they won't, I won't mind killing them a second time. They are no longer brothers to me. ”

"Yes, I understand."

"My father has been sick for several years, my father-in-law has worked hard, and I haven't been in this position for a month, and I already feel powerless. It is only today that I can appreciate the gray hair on my father-in-law's sideburns, which is for me, for the sake of the Tanglin Kingdom, which makes me feel sorry in my heart. ”

'The Emperor's ......'

Kang Yuanbang was moved, it turned out that the emperor understood it, but he didn't say it in his heart.

"Ning Bang, my eyes are bloodshot, and there are a few wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, these are all for me, I understand. After saying these words today, I don't want any more scruples and suspicions. In those twenty dark years, I could hardly walk

When I came out, I luckily met Ruoxi. My father forced my father-in-law to marry Ruoxi to me, and I understood how reluctant my father-in-law must have been, but my father-in-law still didn't say anything, and gave me his favorite daughter. ”

A bright smile like spring returning to the earth bloomed on Xuanyuan Yan's lips, maybe if it weren't for that eccentric woman, he would still be walking alone in the dark.

It was the woman who had been silly, but who had become eccentric, who single-handedly brought him out of the darkness and stood again in the sunlight.

His heart was full of gratitude, grateful to his father for forcing Ye Tianqing to marry Ye Ruoxi to him, grateful to Ye Tianqing for his loyalty to Gong Qingtian, and did not hesitate to marry his favorite silly daughter into the devastated Yanwang Mansion.

I am grateful to my father for everything he has done for him, and I am grateful to Ye Tianqing......

These gratitudes, all kinds of past experiences, especially in the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Risheng Kingdom, who experienced life and death every day, made him understand many things, more courage as an emperor, and less ruthlessness.

He remembered the days when he stood in the middle of a dark and vast sea, full of anxiety and looking at the army of Risheng from afar, waiting for Ye Ruoxi's return.

Every day like that tormented him deeply, he understood how important that woman was to him, just like his life, and he could not be far away.

Perhaps, it was that kind of worry and waiting that made him really see his heart clearly, there was only her shadow in it, and she occupied his entire heart.

"Your Majesty, from now on, if the minister dares to be suspicious of the emperor and conceal something, the minister will not have the face to see the emperor again, please ask the emperor to learn clearly."

"Very good, Ning Bang, let it go."

"Yes, I obey!"

Kang Yuanbang bowed deeply and agreed, he thought, he already knew the emperor's intentions.

Xuanyuan Yan smiled: "The sky of the Tanglin Kingdom should change, there is only one relative in the Tanglin Kingdom, and that is the Xi family!" ”

"Yes, the minister obeys the order, whatever the emperor wants, the minister will definitely present it to the emperor with both hands!"

Xuanyuan Yan stretched out his hand and patted Kang Yuanbang on the shoulder: "I remember that my father-in-law said the same thing in front of my father, and my father-in-law also made such a promise in front of me." It's just that he is an old man, and now he has avoided going to the imperial tomb, which is too inauthentic. ”

Kang Yuanbang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have ascended the throne, and the government should be handled by the emperor himself, my father is tired, so please ask the emperor to be gracious and let him recuperate for a period of time and be quiet for a few days." What's more, the emperor didn't let the minister's father be at ease, but threw a few uneasy ones to the imperial mausoleum. ”

"My father-in-law wants to hide from his leisure, how can I let him be too happy? I can't sleep well every day, I can't sleep and eat, and those who can work hard, so my father-in-law will also share some of it for me, haha......"

Xuanyuan Yan laughed loudly, this was the first time since he took the throne, or in a long time, that he could laugh out loud.

The sound of bright laughter came far from the dormitory, making the servants look sideways, he

We had never seen the emperor laugh, let alone laugh so loudly.

Ye Ruoxi's lips curled, it seemed that her demonic husband and demonic eldest brother were talking happily.

"It's the first time I've heard the emperor laugh like this."

Jinxiu limped over, deliberately showing a painful expression: "Niangniang forgives her sins, the slaves and maids are guilty, please calm your anger." ”

"Don't pretend in front of my master, those slaves, dare to beat hard? The emperor didn't report it when he came, and he didn't know what the use of these slaves was. ”

"Niangniang, wronged, the emperor ordered the slaves and maids not to speak out or move, who would dare to disobey the holy decree?"

"My words, you can be regarded as the wind in your ears, splendid, who are the masters of your family?"

Splendid mouth flattened, this husband is a woman's heaven, needless to say that this mother's husband is the emperor, that is, an ordinary family, the wife also has to be respectful to her husband.

How did they end up with such a master, without the slightest awareness?

"Niangniang, Qi Niangniang, Concubine Zhen is gone!"

Ye Ruoxi suddenly felt that the sky was thundering, this is broad daylight, this murderer is too arrogant, in broad daylight, Lang Lang, he dared to kill another concubine.

"It's so arrogant, and I kill people in broad daylight!"

"Niangniang, you seem to have said last time that the day is the best protective color, a good time to commit crimes, and you still complain that those people always commit crimes and kill people in the middle of the night, delaying your sleep."

Xiao Yun rubbed his buttocks and walked over and whispered.

"These murderers are really caring, they even take a word I said casually to heart, so for my sake."

Ye Ruoxi raised his head and sighed, a bright threat and provocation!

"Let's go, don't be idle, go over and have a look. The Praetorian Guards and the people who are secretly protecting and staring at them are all rubbish, the guys who are eating vegetarian food, everyone is dead, what are they doing? ”

"Niangniang, if the other party sends a master like that night to kill, what is the use of the Praetorian Guard? Even a slave can kill two concubines without knowing it. ”

Jiao Tao said on the side, she was lucky that she didn't have to wait in the dormitory just now, so she was not scolded by the cane.

"Guess who's behind the scenes?"

"Niangniang, you are as wise and martial as Niangniang, where to use the slaves and maids to think what, the slaves and maids are stupid, everything is to obey the will of the mother."

"One by one, it's not powerful!"

Ye Ruoxi sighed, if this case was handed over to Sherlock Holmes, it is estimated that the case would have been revealed a long time ago, but it is a pity that she is such a shrewd person, and she has not found out who the murderer behind the scenes is and what she wants to do.
