Great Xia Palace.

Prime Minister Li and Mrs. Chu knelt outside the imperial study, begging to see the emperor.

The internal official came out and said to the two, "The emperor is taking a nap, don't disturb it, the two of you should retreat."

"Imperial ......"

"Mrs. Chu."

Prime Minister Li stopped Mrs. Chu: "Disturbed by the emperor, Mrs. Chu will not be able to protect herself from prison, so let's wait first."

Mrs. Chu nodded yes, but her daughter was arrested and sent to Dali Temple, although she had Prime Minister Li as a guarantee, but she was worried that her daughter's injuries had shed so much blood, if she didn't get good medical treatment, I was afraid that her daughter's life would not be guaranteed if she didn't wait for the emperor to fall.

Even more afraid, there is an enemy who takes the opportunity to harm her daughter.

The time that flies in the past, every minute is so long at the moment, and she is anxious to wait.

The two knelt until the sun set in the west, the sunset filled the sky, and the golden glow poured into the earth, decorating the Great Xia Palace with golden splendor.

Prime Minister Li looked at Mrs. Chu, who looked tired and pale, and shook her head helplessly.

He arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Chu Zishan didn't disturb the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, let alone feel the grace of the saints, she just wanted to see the emperor, and wanted to explain the matter of her sister and Mo Xiao to the emperor clearly, so she went to the Dengwen Drum Courtyard in a hurry.

If you are really good for the Chu family, you should also explain the emperor's intentions to the champion Houfu, and don't let the world misinterpret and question the emperor's benevolence and wisdom."

Mrs. Chu looked at the closed door of the imperial study with tears in her eyes, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, my daughter is married, but I, the head of the house, don't know, is this reasonable......?"

Prime Minister Li pulled her hand robe and whispered, "Don't be too tough......

Mrs. Chu shook off Prime Minister Li's hand, her crying eyes were full of sorrow, what the emperor had done had disappointed her so much, what good tone could she have.

She has endured too much over the years, and the result she got was that the emperor was so rude and oppressive.

The picture of her daughter covered in blood made her unable to bear the stimulation any longer.

She sighed and looked at the cold gate resolutely: "The emperor issued a holy decree to marry my Houfu daughter to a eunuch, without a single explanation, the courtiers could not accept it.

The official in charge of the Dengwen Drum Courtyard was rude and demanded that the nail board must be rolled before the drum could be beaten, and my son could not bear to be guilty of my old mother, so he rolled the nail board on my behalf.

Pity my son, after rolling the nail board covered in blood, the official rebelled and wanted to kill my mother and daughter, and my son acted with him in self-defense.

My son is not guilty, if he is guilty, it is also committed by the courtiers, please send the courtiers to the prison of Dali Temple and release my son.

My daughter is the only female general in Great Xia, and she and my father-in-law, the champion, Hou Zhen, guard the border passes, and have made countless military exploits.

The emperor shouldn't put people in prison without asking, poor my son is covered in bruises, she shouldn't have this treatment.

Besides, the emperor gave marriage, if it is really good for my Chu family, why not let the courtiers enter the palace.

The courtiers are stupid and don't know the holy will, come and ask clearly, shouldn't they?

Not to mention the noble daughter of my Houfu, it is the common people who are willing to marry their daughters to a eunuch.

The emperor can govern the courtiers' disobedience, or they can copy my Chu family, in short, the courtiers just don't want to."

Prime Minister Li wanted to interrupt Mrs. Chu's words several times, but the tearful accusation made him unbearable to stop it.

He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please withdraw the holy decree of marriage, and don't chill the hearts of those soldiers who defended Great Xia with their blood and lives.

Please also order Chu Zishan to be released and treat the loyal ministers' families well."

Prime Minister Li's words fell, and the surroundings fell into death-like silence again.

Mrs. Chu's tearful eyes were full of anger, and she shouted loudly: "Courtier, I am willing to ask the emperor to take back the marriage and let my son go, courtier, I am willing to ask the emperor to take back the marriage and let my son go......

She kept repeating a sentence, and with each sentence, she kowtowed.

Prime Minister Li looked at Mrs. Chu, who was so weak that she was shaking, and he was worried.

"The old minister begged the emperor to think deeply, and the Chu family is full of loyal ministers and good generals

, the champion candidate is the cornerstone of my Great Xia's national protection, please take back the holy decree for the sake of the old candidate."

The officials standing on the steps looked at the two of them, a little unbearable, turned their heads to look at the closed door, and sighed helplessly.

For a long time, there was still no response from the emperor, and Prime Minister Li was angry and disappointed.

He looked at Mrs. Chu, who was still kowtowing and begging, he closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes full of loneliness and despair.

He took off his official hat and dragged it with both hands: "Seeing that the emperor made a mistake, but he was powerless to redeem it, the old minister is not worthy of being the minister of a country, please allow the emperor, and the old man will return to his hometown."

"Haha......" Mrs. Chu suddenly laughed wildly and staggered to her feet, "My Chu family's male sons have saved their lives in Great Xia, but their wives and children have been bullied like this, is this still unreasonable? I am the head of the Chu family, I can't seek justice for my daughter of the Chu family, and I don't have the face to live in this world, so use my blood to add the first red to her wedding."

With that, she ran wildly towards the thick stone pillars of the imperial study.

"Don't." Prime Minister Li was shocked and got up to catch Mrs. Chu, but his legs were already numb from kneeling, and he was too late to catch Mrs. Chu when he was slow.

He looked at Mrs. Chu who crashed into the stone pillar in a panic, and shouted with great grief and indignation.

A figure flashed, blocking in front of the stone pillar, and in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Chu's head slammed into him, and he snorted, but he held the crumbling Mrs. Chu steadily.

"King Huainan." Prime Minister Li was very surprised when he saw the sudden appearance of King Huainan, he endured the numbness in his legs and walked over and saluted King Huainan.

"The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the King of Huainan, thank you for your timely arrival, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

King Huainan held Mrs. Chu with one hand, and stroked the throbbing chest with the other, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Fortunately, fortunately."

He looked at the guards, "You send Mrs. Chu back to the Hou Mansion and wait carefully."

"Yes." The guards answered, helped Mrs. Chu and left slowly.

"Your Highness, are you here to see the emperor? Please also bring a message for the old man, the old man is going home."

Prime Minister Li handed over the official hat to the king of Huainan, but he was pushed back.

Huainan said with a smile: "Great Xia can't do without a righteous and virtuous old prime minister, this king is also here for Chu Zishan's deeds, this king will go to ask his father."

A happy smile appeared on Prime Minister Li's old face, "The prince is here for Chu Zishan, that's great, please make sure the emperor changes his mind, withdraws the holy decree, and lets Chu Zishan go."

"The king will do his best." King Huainan arched his hand to the prime minister.

He turned around and walked up the steps and bowed: "Father, my son has a report on the military situation of the border city."

The door that had been closed was opened, and the internal official came out to salute: "The emperor invites the king of Huainan to meet him."

King Huainan walked into the imperial study with the little internal official, and when he saw the emperor lying on the dragon couch, he solemnly saluted: "The son sees the emperor."
