It was already night, and the'Lan Yue Pavilion' on a rockery in the imperial garden of the imperial palace was still lit. There are two people sitting in the pavilion, one is the current emperor of Qi State, Zheng Yuan, and the other is our protagonist, Dongfanghong.
The reason why Dongfanghong would sit in the imperial garden in the middle of the night was because when the sky was just getting dark, the chief of Neiwei, Zhou Tai, quietly came to the'Shangshu' Mansion and secretly brought Dongfanghong here. Dongfanghong had also thought of this day for a long time. After being swept out by the Dongfang family, Dongfanghong knew that Zheng Yuan would come to him at any time, because it was time for a showdown with the emperor.
In "Lan Yueting Pavilion", Zheng Yuan did not want Dongfanghong to be as majestic as he wanted to be in the court, but with a smile and affectionately let Dongfanghong sit opposite him. The stone table in the pavilion was filled with various seasonal melons. With fruits and cakes, the monarch and the courtiers drink tea and admire the moon like friends.
"I heard that the girl Siyun has a deep love for Aiqing!" Zheng Yuan said intentionally or unintentionally.
After hearing this, Dongfanghong understood that Zheng Yuan was going to get close to himself first, and win over himself with family affection. So he hurriedly replied: "The princess has a wrong love, and the Weichen really dare not bear it."
"Haha, what dare you dare to do. Love between men and women is human nature, besides, I think Aiqing is also very good! It is worthy of my imperial sister."
Dongfanghong continued to push back and said: "Weichen is really afraid to climb high. There are already several wives in the Weichen's house. This will make the princess and the royal family detrimental." Think of a dignified man who shares her husband with others. , Indeed an insult to the royal family.
Zheng Yuan smiled and looked at Dongfanghong and said, "Haha, if I ask Aiqing to divorce the wife of a few rooms and marry Tianxiang, where will Aiqing go?"
After listening to this, Dongfanghong immediately got up and knelt down and said: "Please take your majesty back and die. Even if you are not talented, you will not do such treachery. We will never dare to marry the princess. Weichen has only one death to remember his mind."
Zheng Yuan stepped forward to support Dongfanghong, patted him on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Why is Aiqing like this? Didn't I just make an analogy just now! Haha, let's sit down and talk when we come here."
Dongfanghong sat down again with a look of sincerity and fear, Zheng Yuan went on to say: "Yes, Aiqing can not forget his wife who has a mess. It seems that Aiqing is a loving and righteous person. As for Aiqing and the imperial sister. Just let it go! Haha, I am not that kind of stubborn person. How can the face of the royal family be more important than the happiness of the imperial sister?"
Listening to Zheng Yuan's words, Dongfanghong couldn't help but admire it very much. It seems that the emperor still has something to do with it. At least Zheng Yuan's words Dongfanghong feels that Zheng Yuan's sincere words. So Dongfanghong quickly got up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty Xie's wrong love. Weichen really doesn't dare to climb high."
Zheng Yuan waved his hand and motioned Dongfanghong to sit down and speak: "We monarchs and ministers do not need to be polite here tonight, Aiqing don't be so cautious. As for the matter of Tianxiang, you can solve it by yourself in the future, and do whatever it takes! Aiqing doesn't need to do it. Low-climbing. Haha, besides, is there anything in this world that Aiqing dared not do?" Zheng Yuan said with deep meaning.
Dongfanghong's heart jumped, knowing that tonight's topic had begun. Dongfanghong still pretended to be cautious and replied: "Your Majesty's remarks make the Weichen shameless. Weichen has always been loyal to his Majesty and will never dare to do anything harmful to his Majesty."
Zheng Yuan squinted his eyes, his face became a little serious and asked: "Oh! Really? Since Ai Qing said so, how should we explain the affairs of Taishi Wei's family?"
Dongfanghong saw that Zheng Yuan had already mentioned the topic, and just wanted to speak, Zheng Yuan then said sharply: "Don't say that the Wei family's affairs have nothing to do with you. This can't even be fooled by children. Don't tell me that you are for your beloved wife. Take revenge, let alone make other excuses. I don’t believe this, hum! Even your grandfather Dongfang Angyu won’t offend a big family for this kind of thing. Aiqing, do you think?"
After all, Zheng Yuan is the king of a country. After Dongfanghong launched an action against the Wei family, he had long felt that there was something hidden in it. He dared to attack the four big families so unscrupulously. Zheng Yuan believed that Dongfanghong must have other reliance or purpose.
Dongfanghong saw that Zheng Yuan had spoken to this point, and naturally knew that the previous excuses were no longer useful, and using those would only be counterproductive. To gain the trust of the emperor, one must have a showdown with Zheng Yuan. Of course, it is not to say that all showdowns, but to point out something that convinced Zheng Yuan.
Fortunately, Dongfanghong was prepared. He knew very well in his heart that excuses such as revenge for his wife were pure nonsense. Rulers in high positions like Zheng Yuan are all shrewd people, how can ordinary lies deceive them. It's just that people like Zheng Yuan, although they understand that there is something else in their hearts, but can't figure out what's going on for a while, that's why there is the current deep palace secret conversation. Not only Zheng Yuan knew that there was something hidden in it, but even Li Jing, Wei Taishi, and Dongfang Angyu were more or less able to think of it, but they didn't have the capital Zheng Yuan that could make Dongfanghong show his trump card.
No one wants to always have hidden dangers around him without knowing the inside story, so tonight's conversation is not only a showdown, once Dongfanghong's explanation can't satisfy Zheng Yuan, I am afraid Dongfanghong will not be able to get out of the palace tonight.
Dongfanghong pondered for a moment, then looked up at Zheng Yuan and said: "Since your Majesty said so, then the minister has no choice but to know everything. I just hope that his Majesty will not be furious and forgive the minister for his unreasonable crimes."
After hearing this, Zheng Yuan showed a smile on his face and said: "Aiqing don't have to worry, as long as you and my monarchs meet frankly, I will not embarrass Aiqing. Besides, if I do anything to Aiqing, will I still wait until today? And if Tianxiang knows that I have dealt with her lover, this emperor sister of mine will not overthrow the palace!" Zheng Yuan said these words to make Dongfanghong feel relieved.
Dongfanghong naturally understands what Zheng Yuan meant, but these words are just talking. If the emperor really turns his face at that time, haha, who can stop it! However, Dongfanghong still has to say something that upsets Zheng Yuan. As for whether Zheng Yuan will turn his face, it depends on Dongfanghong's understanding of Zheng Yuan. This is somewhat of a gambling nature.
"Thank you for your irresponsible grace!"
"Okay! Can Aiqing talk about it now?"
Dongfanghong thought for a moment and asked, "Have your Majesty heard of the organization'Yingtian Pavilion'?"
Zheng Yuan couldn't help but stunned. He didn't expect the Oriental Red Club to ask this. Is this still related to'Yingtian Pavilion'? Zheng Yuan then pretended to be casual and said: "Yes, I have indeed heard of it."
Dongfanghong smiled and said, "Your Majesty is probably more than just hearing about it!"
Zheng Yuan looked at Dongfanghong with a glint in his eyes and asked, "What does Ai Qing say?"
"If Weichen didn't guess wrong, your Majesty should have cooperated with'Yingtian Pavilion' before!"
Zheng Yuan was taken aback again. Only a few people around him knew about his affairs with'Yingtian Pavilion', and they didn't even know about the situation, how did Dongfanghong know about the situation, such as the first lieutenant of the court and the imperial master. So Zheng Yuan asked, "Where did Aiqing learn about it? Besides, does it have anything to do with Aiqing's annihilation of the Wei family?"
Dongfanghong saw that Zheng Yuan did not answer directly, but he admitted the matter in disguise, so he replied: "As for the matter of the Wei family, why did you mention'Yingtian Pavilion', this minister will explain to your majesty later."
"Yeah! Let's say it!" Zheng Yuan didn't go into it anymore, because it was unnecessary.
"Since your Majesty is familiar with'Yingtian Pavilion', then your Majesty must also know another organization,'Adverse Heaven Sect', right?"
Hearing the name of'Adverse Tianzong', Zheng Yuan seemed to have caught something, but he was not sure, so he said: "'Nigianzong'... I have heard of it. Does it matter
Dongfanghong explained to Zheng Yuan: "These two organizations are rivals for thousands of years."
"Oh!" Zheng Yuan seemed to understand something. He had never understood the opponent of'Yingtian Pavilion', because Li Jing had never talked about Zheng Yuan, and Zheng Yuan had only heard about it. In fact, even if it is'Yingtian Pavilion', he doesn't understand it very well, so there is no need to say the opponent of'Yingtian Pavilion'. Listening to Dongfanghong now say that the two organizations have had grievances for thousands of years. This undoubtedly raised Zheng Yuan's interest. After all, Zheng Yuan is also very dissatisfied with the'Yingtian Pavilion' and wants to get rid of it soon. Zheng Yuan still knows the phrase "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", so the vague feeling in his heart has become more and more obvious.
"Let's talk about it, what's the matter between them? I'm quite interested."
Dongfanghong smiled. Through the observations just now, Dongfanghong has a bottom in her heart. So he didn't conceal the whole story of the grievances between'Yingtian Pavilion' and'Ni Tianzong', and told Zheng Yuan all the history of'Xiaoyaozi' he knew. Because there is no need to hide these things.
When Dongfanghong finished talking about the millennia of grievances between the two factions, Zheng Yuan fell into deep thought. He did not expect that such a large scale and such a deep hatred would be involved. At the same time, Zheng Yuan was also taken aback by the fact that Yingtian Pavilion had such a huge power, which he did not expect. He had always thought that'Yingtian Pavilion' was a born sect, and only sent his disciple Kuang to help Jiangshan during the troubled times, but after Dongfanghong said that, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but sweat from his back. Just as Dongfanghong immediately thought after hearing the words of'Xiaoyaozi' that'Yingtian Pavilion' would secretly control the world sooner or later, Zheng Yuan had the same idea.
Zheng Yuan closed his eyes and calmly said: "You can know the thousand-year secrets here, I am afraid Aiqing is not an ordinary person! I don't know if you are from the'Yingtian Pavilion' or the'Tiantian Sect'? I'm afraid that the possibility of "Tian Tianzong" is higher!" Zheng Yuan looked at Dongfang Hong with a sharp gaze in his eyes.
Dongfanghong replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are indeed related to the'Tiantian Sect', but the ministers are not yet regarded as official disciples of the'Tiantian Sect'."
"Oh? Even if you know many secrets about the two factions, why isn't it an official disciple?"
