Chapter 72 Main Mission: Save the evil wife!
Chapter 72 Main Mission: Save the evil wife!
Qin Muye was confused after all, and he frantically wondered what the emperor's intentions were.
Unfortunately.
Li Hong didn't intend to give him time to think. Seeing that he didn't answer immediately, he asked directly: "Are you not ready?"
"How could I not be prepared for this?"
Qin Yanying couldn't help laughing first: "Your Majesty! My son Muye has wanted to get married for a long time, but he was too shy to ask for it. Today is the perfect time for you to make the decision. Muye, why don't you thank your Majesty quickly?"
Chen Sui: “…”
There was a flash of panic in his eyes, but he had no chance to grab Qin Yanying.
She secretly glanced at Li Hong, her heart filled with fear and confusion, not understanding why Li Hong would facilitate such a marriage.
He has not yet found out Bai Yuji's specific identity, but he can be sure that she must be related to Nanzhao.
This, this, this, this...
Qin Muye had no room to refuse, and bowed in surprise: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I, I was so excited just now!"
Bai Yuji knew that she had no reason to refuse in front of the emperor.
As long as you refuse, you will reveal your flaws.
Then she bowed with a sweet smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"
Li Hong stroked his beard and laughed: "You guys, hurry up and write down your birth dates. Hong Qing, you pick an auspicious day and hold both weddings at the same time!"
"Hey!"
Eunuch Hong took out the red paper that he had prepared long ago and spread it in front of the people with a smile.
After several people wrote down their birth dates, they began to calculate quickly.
Finally, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty! There are two auspicious dates suitable for the Crown Prince and his wife. One is ten days later, and the other is the tenth day of next month. However, ten days later is a bit incompatible with General Yanying's horoscope..."
"No need! Just ten days later!"
Qin Yanying waved his hands proudly: "I am strong and not afraid of the rush. I can't let the young people wait anxiously."
Everyone: "..."
Li Hong couldn't help laughing: "Okay, then let's set it for ten days later! Muye, eat quickly, and after you finish eating, I will give you two wedding gifts."
Qin Muye: “…”
Qin Yanying urged, "Muye, what are you hesitating about? Eat quickly!"
Qin Muye's scalp tingled. He could only respond and quickly eat his meal.
As we all know, when people are extremely nervous, their stomach capacity will become smaller.
Before he had taken a few bites, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked towards the back hall with Li Hong.
Qin Yanying raised her eyebrows proudly at Bai Yuji: "See! I told you that His Majesty treats us like brothers and uncles, right? From now on, you can rest assured to be a daughter-in-law in the Qin family. Good days are ahead!"
Bai Yuji: "..."
Chen Sui: “…”
……
"Oh!"
The door is closed.
In the huge back hall, besides Qin Muye and Li Hong, there was only a man in black who was covered completely.
Qin Muye calmed down and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, this is..."
Li Hong smiled and waved his hand gently, and the black silk on the man in black slipped off.
Revealing the body full of dull metallic texture.
Just like a puppet.
hiss……
Qin Muye frowned, feeling that this puppet seemed a little familiar.
Do not!
Doesn't it look a little familiar.
But it looks too familiar.
Isn’t this the one I refined in the Princess Palace today?
"puppet!"
Li Hong sat cross-legged on the couch and took a sip of tea slowly: "Do you remember the Puppet Conference a while ago?"
Qin Muye nodded quickly: "Remember!"
Li Hong smiled gently: "That genius puppeteer has become an official of Xingluo, and I, as his father, shamelessly asked for one. This puppet can exert the combat power of the fourth rank. Although it is a body of gold and stone, its intelligence is not lower than that of ordinary people.
I'll give it to you today.
From now on, you must never do something as dangerous as forcing your way into the Honglu Temple alone."
Qin Muye looked touched: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Hong quickly supported him and said, "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite in private. Your father saved me from danger many times in the past, but I watched you in danger in the capital. I hope you don't blame me in your heart!"
Qin Muye's eyes were red, and he seemed to be so moved that he was speechless.
Li Hong pulled him to sit next to him: "Muye, how is your health?"
"With Yuji taking care of me, I am already feeling better than before."
"This little girl's medical skills are really good!"
Li Hong said meaningfully: "You really found a treasure!"
really.
Wait for me here!
Qin Muye knew that he couldn't delay any longer. If he didn't confess the situation, he would definitely suffer the consequences.
But how to confess.
It all depends on artistic talent.
He was silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty! I want to ask you a favor!"
Li Hong acted surprised and quickly helped him up: "Muye, don't worry, talk slowly."
Qin Muye took a deep breath and said, "There is something I should have told you a long time ago, but because I was afraid of death, I never dared to tell you."
"whats the matter?"
"I... was poisoned. Have you heard of Luanfeng Gu?"
"Luanfeng Gu..."
Li Hong was startled, and quickly took Qin Muye's pulse, anxiously asking: "Isn't that Nanzhao's poison? How did you..."
"Have you heard of it?"
Qin Muye's voice was somewhat sad: "My 'confidante' is actually the fallen princess of Nanzhao!"
Li Hong's expression suddenly became serious: "I see! So what you want from me is to cure the poison of this Luanfeng Gu?"
"No!"
Qin Muye gritted his teeth and shook his head.
At this moment, his heartbeat was extremely fast.
His current performance is what Li Hong expected.
Apart from showing loyalty to the emperor, it has no other purpose.
Now that we have come this far.
Then you should try to take a big chance!
Although we were able to escape danger in the previous few times, it was always the case that the enemy was in the dark and we were in the light. Even if we counterattacked and threw a few punches, we were still the passive one.
He figured it out, he needed rights!
The prerequisite for obtaining power is to prove to the emperor that he is a valuable and competent chess piece. This proof is a gamble, a gamble on how big Li Hong's "capacity to tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in ancient and modern times" can be.
He took a deep breath and said, "Bai Yuji said that the Luanfeng Gu is a secret of the Nanzhao royal family. There is no medicine in the world that can cure it. I have given up."
"Then beg me..."
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to give Bai Yuji a chance!"
"She is connected to your life, I will not make things difficult for her."
"What I mean is, give Bai Yuji a chance to reform!"
"Ok?"
Li Hong frowned, and his tone became more stern: "She is the remnant of Nanzhao! Muye, do you know what you are talking about?"
Although he spoke sternly, he was somewhat surprised in his heart.
He loves the unexpected reactions.
According to his original guess, Qin Muye would confess to him only after receiving the second gift.
But unexpectedly, the child was so smart that he took the initiative to bring up the matter as soon as he received the first gift.
As for asking me to give Bai Yuji a chance to reform, that was even more unexpected.
"I know!"
Qin Muye looked extremely serious and said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, Bai Yuji held me hostage in order to conceive a child of our Qin family, and then use the fetus in my belly to make a poison to poison my father.
At first I hated and feared her, but after getting to know her for a while, I found that she was actually a very kind person.
She reads the books of the sages of our Central Plains, which are fundamentally different from those remnants of Nanzhao. She was just coerced by them..."
Li Hong's expression became even more stern: "So you feel sympathy for the remnants of Nanzhao? Or even have feelings for them?"
"Yes!"
"You bastard!"
Li Hong's eyes were full of murderous intent: "You know, just these words are enough to kill you several times!"
Qin Muye's body was stiff, and he was obviously extremely scared, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty! If I just have feelings for my enemy and the rebels, I will die with her!"
"Oh? Then why are you so afraid of death?"
"Because I...I think she can be used by Daqian!"
"You're good at making excuses!"
"I'm not making excuses!"
Qin Muye took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty! To be honest, this case that almost put my aunt in jail was planned by them!"
"You know this as well?"
Li Hong was a little surprised: "Since you knew, why did you plead for her?"
Qin Muye took a deep breath and said, "My aunt has always been very kind to her. After this incident, she couldn't bear the condemnation in her heart, so she told me about it. In fact, she regretted it from the beginning. When my aunt went to find Hu Huan, she wanted to stop my aunt, but failed."
"Do you believe what she said?"
"I asked the imperial guards under my aunt's command. You can also ask your majesty."
"Oh……"
Li Hong's expression eased a little: "Just these don't mean she is worthy of being forgiven."
Qin Muye was silent for a moment: "Yesterday she told me another thing."
"Oh?"
"She told me that the Nanzhao survivors planned that case in order to prove the value of Nanzhao to the four barbarians and to gain living space for the Nanzhao survivors. I think this is a good opportunity to infiltrate their ranks."
"She told you all this?"
Li Hong was really shocked this time. It seemed like this princess of a fallen country had a leak in her mouth. She was telling everything.
In other words, shake it towards Qin Muye.
Qin Muye was a little embarrassed: "She and I, um... that kind of thing, do you understand?"
Li Hong couldn't bear to watch it. A son of the Marquis of Zhennan and a princess of the fallen Nanzhao. They had a life-and-death feud, but they were led by love.
They have all lost their minds!
But not completely lost.
Bai Yuji also knew how to do the right thing for Nanzhao.
Qin Muye was still thinking about coming over and confessing, trying to get her to reform.
It's really... magical.
But it feels incredibly reasonable.
Li Hong rubbed his head and asked, "How do you want her to reform?"
Qin Muye was delighted when he heard him relax: "Your Majesty! Although I am not sure, from the current situation, she hopes that the Nanzhao survivors can survive rather than seek revenge.
Daqian also needs an insider who has a say and is obedient in the so-called alliance of states.
so……"
Li Hong looked at him quietly: "Now that we have defeated all the foreign nations, they have all come to the capital to ask for peace. Why do you think that Daqian needs an internal response?"
Qin Muye gritted his teeth and said, "Because it is not a long-term solution for the court to rely on those evil officials. It is true that they have fighting power, but they can only stir up conflicts and keep the borders in war, taking the opportunity to ask the court for military funds. Only when the hatred of the four barbarians is completely resolved and these evil officials are driven away can it be called a true prosperous era."
Li Hong looked a little serious: "Who told you these words?"
"My aunt!"
Qin Muye said confidently: "She keeps nagging me every day, and my ears are almost callused."
Li Hong: “…”
long silence.
He suddenly smiled: "It's a good idea, so what do you plan to do?"
Qin Muye shook his head: "I don't know..."
"What if I want you to think about it now?"
"This……"
Qin Muye was a little embarrassed: "I really can't think of this, I'm really not that cut out for it..."
"You are not cut out for this. You broke into the Honglu Temple by force?"
"To break into the Honglu Temple, you can just rush in with your eyes open, but I can't think of such an idea."
"..."
Li Hong laughed in silence, stared at Qin Muye and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Muye!"
"You say!"
Qin Muye's expression was still a little tense, and it was obvious that he was still worried.
Li Hong smiled and asked, "Do you want to be an official?"
"I, I'm not that kind of person, am I?"
"No problem! I'll teach you."
"This……"
"Don't you want to help Bai Yuji reform?"
"..."
