Looking at the old emperor's uncertain expression, many discerning people present, including the crown prince Li Yi, had already seen what trick the old lady was playing.

"Wonderful......"

"Or the old lady has a ...... hand"

"His Royal Highness King Zhang was finally able to save it, hey......"

"The old man can finally sleep peacefully......"

Many ministers and officials have begun to whisper below, and they have praised the old lady Yan Ke's chess master.

The crown prince Li Yi also cast an admiring gaze like his teacher.

The old emperor was not a fool, and soon, he understood what his old friend was thinking. But even if he understood, he could only pretend not to understand.

Is it really because of something that has not been ascertained, that his own son is to be executed in such a cruel way as Ling Chi?

Faced with the just right step given by the old lady Yan Ke, the old emperor could only smile bitterly in his heart, and borrowed the donkey to go down the slope and said:

"I'm a little unwell in my dragon body today, so I'll ...... this matter for the time being."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty—"

Outside the main hall, there was a sudden sound of coquettishness.

Who?

The ministers immediately turned their heads in confusion, and when they saw that slender and graceful figure running into the Taihe Palace, each Rao had a complicated expression on his face.

What is she going to do now?

Old Master Yan Ke couldn't help frowning, and a not very good premonition arose spontaneously in his thoughts.

"Ai Concubine?" the old emperor was also slightly stunned, "I am discussing with you Aiqing, why did you run in?"

"Your Majesty...... Concubines...... The concubine is here to intercede......"

The concubine Niangniang cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and her haggard and sad delicate appearance made a man feel distressed when he saw it.

The crown prince Li Yi was even more staring.

"Excuse me, what's wrong, what's wrong with the harem? Make you cry like this......" The old emperor asked unhappily, "Queen, can't she hold it?

"Your Majesty...... What the concubine asked for today was not for the sisters and sisters in the harem......" The concubine said while wiping her tears pitifully.

"Who is that for?" the old emperor asked strangely, furrowed his eyebrows.

"Concubine...... The concubine is interceding for His Royal Highness King Zhang......" The concubine began to hide her face and cry again.

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked, and no one thought that Guifei Niangniang, a woman of different races from the Western Regions, and a concubine living in the harem, would actually beg for forgiveness for a down-and-out prince who couldn't beat her with eight poles and didn't know how many of her compatriots had killed!

"Zhang...... King Zhang?" the old emperor asked in a deep voice, frowning.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubines and many sisters were very frightened when they heard that Your Majesty was going to condemn His Royal Highness King Zhang, their status was too low, so they begged the concubines to come on their behalf and plead with Your Majesty......" The concubine Niangniang stared at the old emperor with teary eyes, and continued: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhang, he is the important general of the country, if there is no him, what should Nanning do! Your Majesty's country, what should I do......?

The concubine Niangniang poured out sincerely, and when she was in deep love, she began to hide her face and cry again.

However, the eyes of the old lady Yan Ke and the loyal ministers of the court stayed on the face of the old emperor for a long time.

Because they really saw that the old emperor's face was becoming ugly little by little.

Broken!

The old lady Yan Ke's heart trembled, and she also subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"I see...... I see...... Hehe...... Hehehehehehe......"

Sure enough, in the next second, the old emperor sneered, and his voice was as cold as ice in the Nine Hells, extremely cold:

"Even the beauties who live in the harem have begun to worry about the safety of King Zhang's 'His Royal Highness'......"

"If it is a few years later, I am afraid that everyone will only know that there is King Zhang, but I don't know that I am the King of Tang!"

"Spread my will!" The old emperor waved his hand and said categorically: "After escorting King Zhang back to Beijing, he can be imprisoned! No one is allowed to visit without my permission!"

"Your Majesty...... Saint...... Ming ......"

The civil and military officials were shocked, but they could only bow unwillingly.

Only the old lady Yan Ke was still standing in place.

"Old Master Yan, do you have anything else to say?" the old emperor looked at Yan Ke coldly and said, "Isn't it because you want to discuss with me the day of King Zhang's execution?"

"Minister...... Nothing to ......"

The old lady Yan Ke took a deep look at the concubine Niangniang, and then slowly bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Humph!"

The old emperor snorted coldly and turned away.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! The concubine doesn't mean that, Your Majesty! Don't you, Your Majesty......" Seeing that the situation was "not right", the concubine Niangniang immediately snorted, bowed down to the old emperor's lap, and pulled the dragon robe tightly and did not let go.

"This is unusual...... the old emperor lowered his head, looked at the concubine Niangniang deeply, and said in a deep voice: "You are from the Western Regions, shouldn't you expect King Zhang to die soon, why do you want to plead for him?"

The sharp gaze was like a sharp arrow, shining directly on the concubine's body, as if to clear the clouds and detect the true thoughts in her heart.

Could it be ...... And a turnaround?

Old Master Yan Ke's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but quietly raise her head.

Unexpectedly, when the concubine heard this, she sobbed even louder: "Is Your Majesty suspicious of your concubine? Your Majesty, since you beat your concubine and become Your Majesty's concubine, in this life and this life, you are born to be Your Majesty's person, and when you die, you are also Your Majesty's ghost...... Whether the Western Regions are strong or weak, they have nothing to do with their concubines...... The concubine has no ability, so she can only do her best to share the worries of His Majesty, please Your Majesty, you must not blame King Zhang......"

"Is that really the case?" the old emperor's brows tightened.

"If Your Majesty suspects the concubine, it will be a great insult!" "The concubine raised her head with tears on her face, and said indignantly: "Since the concubine can't get the trust of Your Majesty, she would rather die to prove the innocence of the concubine——"

Before the words fell, she stood up tremblingly, and immediately without hesitation, she slammed her head into the column above the main hall.

"Concubine—"

The old emperor exclaimed, and immediately rushed forward without hesitation, and took the concubine Niangniang into his arms!

And the crown prince Li Yi at the foot of the steps actually subconsciously stood up and wanted to go up to the rescue. Fortunately, he reacted and stopped, but this move had already attracted the attention of many pairs of eyes.

Fortunately, the old emperor had his back to him, which also gave him time to kneel back in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, let me go...... The concubine is no longer alive...... Don't live anymore......"

The concubine Niangniang was crying "woo" while struggling weakly in the arms of the old emperor.

"Okay, okay, it's me who lost my words, it's all my bad ......"

Seeing the pear blossom crying in his arms with rain and the great beauty who was still looking for death and life, the old emperor's heart suddenly softened into a mess, and now he still has half a superfluous will to be angry and think?

"Spread His Majesty's will - the noble concubine Niangniang blocked the virtuous lady, I am very comforted, I am specially given ten gold beads, 100 horses of Chinese silk, Qin-this-"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and the cries were like thunder.

Looking at the two people who were openly lingering on the main hall, the heart of the old lady Yan Ke was full of emotion.

When the emperor's concubine brushed her sleeves away, two jet-black hairs suddenly fell down and slid to the face of the old lady Yan Ke.

He stared at it and gradually fell into a trance, as if he saw the fluttering qi of the dynasty.

"Retreat—Toward —"

......

"Taishi, just above the main hall, your plan is really wonderful! I heard a lot of ministers praising you, fortunately with you, Taishi, King Zhang can pick up a life!"

On the way back to the East Palace, the crown prince Li Yi looked at the sullen old lady Yan Ke, and he couldn't bear it for a while, so he couldn't help but say comfortingly:

"Although I went on a business trip halfway, I finally let my father just imprison the sixth brother in prison, and I don't think I will do too much punishment for a while, you should be happy!"

"Your Highness, the old man has decided to resign and go into hiding......"

The sudden words of the old lady Yan Ke directly made the prince Li Yi stunned on the spot:

"What is the Taishi? is a student...... Did you hear me wrong?"

The old lady Yan Ke ignored his question, was silent to herself, and suddenly said:

"Regarding the matter prepared by the old minister and His Highness, how are your preparations, Your Highness?"

"Are you...... Is that the incident?" Prince Li Yi was stunned, and then smiled: "It's ready, as long as you give an order, you can start at any time!"

As long as you can divert the topic of resignation and retirement, anything is fine.

If there is no assistance from the old lady Yan Ke, the prince Li Yi, who does not love government affairs, I am afraid that he will no longer have time to play with his flowers, birds, fish and insects!

"How can such a big event be a child's play? Naturally, it can't be done casually......," the old lady Yan Ke was silent again.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever heard of Huashan's discussion of swords?"

"Is Huashan talking about swords...... I've heard that it seems to be a gathering in the rivers and lakes to decide the next number one," Prince Li Yi frowned and said, "But isn't the current name of the next number one already taken away by Xiao Buyi, the head of the Wudang faction?

"The first place has indeed been elected, but the leader of the martial arts alliance has not yet ...... suitable candidate" The old lady Yan Ke sighed and said in a low voice: "Next year, then the old man will wait a little longer......"

"Taishi...... Teacher, don't you insist on leaving?"

"The court is already like this, the old man doesn't want to interfere anymore, the old man will be present in person in this matter, and it should be the last thing to do for His Royal Highness's future country......
