"Of course, you can also choose to pay money, three hundred taels of locusts per catty, and you don't have to eat locusts if you pay the daily amount.........." Speaking of money, the smile on Ye Qingqiu's face softened, and he lost the coldness and domineering momentum just now.

"If anyone secretly doesn't eat it, he will be fined 10,000 taels of silver once....... "Hearing Ye Qingqiu's words, everyone wanted to die, and they all regretted it in their hearts, what did they have to agree to come to the palace banquet, now it's okay.

To eat that disgusting thing.

"Your Majesty, listen to what His Highness has said." A minister knelt down and climbed to the center of the main hall, pulling a pale bitter gourd face, and looked up at the empress on the white jade platform. I hope the empress can say something fair.

Everyone else crawled over as well. With a sad face, he wailed, "Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for your ministers!" The ministers are all important officials of the imperial court, and His Royal Highness actually wants the ministers to eat locusts, if this spreads, the face of the ministers and the face of the court will be gone. ”

"The minister has never been insulted like this since he was a child, and he eats locusts, and the minister would rather choose to die........"

"Oh? The Ministry of Industry Shangshu chooses to die? Ye Qingqiu raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Er on the side, and said coldly with no extra look on his face, "Liu Er remember, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu chooses to die, and when you eat locusts for a while, you send it to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu." Ye Qingqiu's sentence naturally knew what it meant.

Everyone was shocked, but at the same time, they decided that Ye Qingqiu was just scaring people. How could the court officials kill her if she said it!

"You dare!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu raised his head violently and glared at Ye Qingqiu, his appearance was like an angry sheep, and he had no lethal effect on Ye Qingqiu.

"After a while, you will know whether His Highness dares or not." In the faint tone, there was an undoubted momentum in those hey eyes.

"Now Your Highness is re-stating the rules, tonight you have three choices, eat locusts, pay money, and ......... Die! Ye Qingqiu's cold eyes swept over the people below, and then his eyes fell on Liu Er, and he ordered, "Liu Er, you go and remember," whoever eats locusts, who pays the silver, and who chooses to die." After the recording is completed, it will be executed directly. ”

Ye Qingqiu said, sat down slowly, and leisurely stretched out his hand to pinch the locusts in front of him and ate them. If it weren't for the smell of the disgusting people in the main hall, Ye Qingqiu believed that he would eat more happily.

The empress, who had been silent, opened her mouth, and the old voice spread to every corner of the hall, "This locust I have eaten, the taste is crisp and refreshing, not as you Aiqing thought." The empress also raised her hand and picked up a locust and ate it in front of everyone.

The empress's move was nothing more than telling everyone that she supported Ye Qingqiu.

The faces of the people were like earth, and their bodies trembled slightly. It's more of a sense of humiliation.

Liu Er took a pen and paper and asked questions one by one, but at first everyone dragged on without answering.

Ye Qingqiu said directly, "If you don't answer immediately, you will add ten catties of locusts every day in the future, and if you drag it for a long time, you will directly choose to die for him." ”

Xu Wei couldn't wait to take off her shoes at this moment, and threw them on Ye Qingqiu's hypocritical face, she said how could Ye Qingqiu be so kind and specially invite herself to the palace banquet, it turned out ........ Xu Wei's face was extremely ugly.

The lowered eyes flashed with a thick poisonous intent, the hands under the sleeves were clenched, and the green tendons on the back of the hands burst out.

"Anyway, what do you choose?" Liu Er took the paper and pen, glanced at Xu Wei condescendingly, and said indifferently.

"I....... Pay the silver. The Xu family is a wealthy businessman in the daughter country, and the choice to pay the silver is expected by Ye Qingqiu.

Liu Er wrote on the paper, "Xu Wei, hand over the silver." ”

"What about the prince of Ningyang?" Liu Er walked up to Lin Shuiyun, held a pen in her hand, and asked lightly.

Lin Shuiyun was stupid since he knew that he was going to eat locusts, and he came back to his senses when he knew that Liu Er appeared. The delicate jade face was pale and bloodless.

"Grandmother, don't eat locusts in Ningyang!" Lin Shuiyun left the table and came to the center of the hall, and knelt down with a "bang". "How can people eat such disgusting things as locusts? Grandmother must have been deliberately teased by this Ye Qingqiu. ”

As soon as Lin Shuiyun's words came out, everyone saw that the expression on the empress's face instantly converged, and the old eyes became sharp and cold. Lin Yalan knew that the empress was angry.

As the empress, she naturally hopes that these royal children can stand on her side and support him, only then will those ministers be willing to surrender.

Lin Yalan endured the disgust in her heart, got up and = came to the center of the hall and knelt down beside Lin Shuiyun, "Yun'er is young and ignorant, and I ask the empress to forgive Yun'er this time." Erchen was willing to eat that share for Yun'er. "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, no matter how ambitious a person is, no matter how bad her nature is, her love for her children will not be worse than others.

"Mother!" Lin Shuiyun turned his head sideways, looking at his mother beside him, his eyes were scarlet, and tears fell instantly. I feel aggrieved and blame myself.

Since that day, she hasn't spoken a word to her mother.

The three princes are all willing to eat locusts, and the eldest prince naturally has no reason not to shirk it. The two princes are settled, and the remaining civil and military officials are much easier.

After an hour, a small percentage of the people were willing to give money, and most of them chose to eat locusts. For a while, there was a crunchy sound in the Cheng'en Palace, and when the first locust was eaten, everyone's facial expressions were like eating, and they were very constipated.

But after eating a few in a row, the fear and nausea in my heart decreased slightly, and I felt that the locusts were indeed as the empress said, crisp and refreshing.

The only thing that hovered in the hearts of everyone was the sense of humiliation that was forced, and after two or two hours, the locusts in front of everyone were almost eaten, and the empress leaned on the handrail, and with the support of her subordinates, she stood up and took two steps forward.

Looking at the officials below, he said, "Since Qingqiu has come up with an effective way to exterminate locusts within the specified time, you should also fulfill your promise and assist Qingqiu well!" I announced, I, Lin Shengxue abdicated, and Lin Qingqiu succeeded to the throne! ”

Ye Qingqiu's holy decree of succession was conveyed to every corner of the daughter country overnight. The prince succeeded to the throne and celebrated all over the world, and the empress wanted to give amnesty to the world, but Ye Qingqiu hurriedly stopped it.

In Ye Qingqiu's words, if you release a bad person, there will be ten hundred good people who will be killed. In that case, she would be guilty.

Tonight's palace banquet was the most humiliating of all the officials ever. Almost all of them went back with a grudge.

Lin Shuiyun was worried about what Ye Qingqiu promised her, so she didn't leave in a hurry after the banquet. When Lin Yalan left the palace, she came out of the latrine.

"What about Xu Yuzhi?" Lin Shuiyun came to Ye Qingqiu's dormitory, and he didn't knock on the door, he asked when he broke in.

Ye Qingqiu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his expression showed a hint of unhappiness. This Lin Shuiyun doesn't know how to respect people at all.

But thinking of Lin Shuiyun's sweetheart at the time, Ye Qingqiu had to suppress the trace of displeasure in his heart, and in exchange for his subordinates, he said coldly, "Wait for the prince of Ningyang to go to see Xu Youzhi." If she hadn't been a little ashamed of Xu Youzhi, she would have to teach this girl who doesn't know how to respect people.

In the palace where Xu Youzhi lived, when Lin Shuiyun came, the light in Xu Youzhi's room was still on, and Xu Youzhi was lying on the bed, looking at the roof with deep and warm eyes.

He had already heard from his subordinates in the room about what happened at the banquet tonight, eating locusts, which was really unheard of, and it was a shame that she came up with it. Even if those ministers were rectified and successfully ascended to the throne, it was really a double win.

It's just that........ Ye Qingqiu became the empress, what about him? What to do?

Is it according to his original plan, or is he resigned to his fate to be Ye Qingqiu's nobleman? Xu Youzhi's brows furrowed tightly, and his warm eyes became tangled.

"Squeak", the sound of opening the door at night is especially loud and dull.

Xu You's heart was overjoyed, and the smile on his face was that he hadn't even had time to find out, so he quickly turned his head and saw a beautiful woman walking at the door.

"Why, you're really here!" Lin Shuiyun ran to the bed quickly, and his delicate jade face was full of joy. Ye Qingqiu really didn't lie to her.

"Cloud, son!" Seeing the person who came, the joy on Xu Youzhi's face gradually cooled, and the bright white of his eyes dimmed as bright as stars. It turned out to be Lin Shuiyun, and he thought it was Ye Qingqiu.

How did Lin Shuiyun appear here? Without Ye Qingqiu's consent, it would be impossible for Lin Shuiyun to appear in the Heart Cultivation Palace. In other words, Ye Qingqiu let Lin Shuiyun in?

The heart calmed down, and Xu Youzhi's face became more and more ugly, and he could almost wring out the water when he sank. Ye Qingqiu, you are really generous, let your noble gentleman be alone with other women.

"How are you? I heard that you were seriously injured, are you feeling better now? Lin Shuiyun said, reaching out to uncover the quilt on Xu Youzhi's body, wanting to see the injuries on Xu Youzhi's body.

"There are differences between men and women, please keep your distance." Xu Youyi tugged on the brocade quilt tightly, his eyebrows were slightly lowered, and his tone was faint with a hint of anger.

"From this, I know that my mother sent someone to kill you and make you angry, but I really didn't know about that incident, and then I didn't talk to my mother for many days because of this, you have to believe me."

"I'm not angry, I'm just tired and want to rest!" For Lin Shuiyun, Xu Youzhi still couldn't bear to hurt her after all. In this daughter country, I am afraid that only Lin Shuiyun treats himself sincerely. And what about him? It is approaching Lin Shuiyun with a purpose.

I want to use her identity to do something against the sky.

"Then I'm here to accompany you, I promise not to disturb you!" Lin Shuiyun's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Xu Youzhi and said pitifully.

"Why are you doing this?" Xu Youzhi sighed, and at this moment he faintly regretted what he had done back then.

"Therefore, I am willing to do anything for you!" Why did she break her head and want the position of the empress? It's for him, Xu Youzhi. Because she knows his heart.

"Yun'er, forget it! You will still be the carefree prince of Ningyang in the Three Emperors' Mansion. ”
