He Zhen chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from Master Duan that Shangguan Yunzhu, the princess of Tiandu Kingdom, is good at dancing and has extremely high dancing skills. It's rare to be so happy today. How about letting Shangguan Yunzhu dance for us?"
"Bah! He Zhen, our princess is so noble, how can she dance for a villain like you and a shameless traitor like Duan Xuan?" Although Wan Youqi knew that He Zhen would not be able to say anything good, but after hearing this After hearing what he said, he still couldn't help but get angry and shouted sharply.
"Incomparably noble? Hahaha... It's really funny! I asked General Wan to teach me, what can be noble about this prisoner?" After saying that, He Zhen's face suddenly turned cold, and he reached out and squeezed Wan hard. Youqi raised her chin and said coldly, "Wan Youqi, you'd better figure out your current situation before you act arrogantly! If I were you in your current situation, the first thing you should do is learn to behave. Do you understand?”
"Bah!" Wan Youqi was so angry that she suddenly spat on He Zhen's face.
"Presumptuous!" He Zhen was furious, and slapped Wan Youqi in the face. Wan Youqi was tied up, lost her balance, and immediately staggered back a few steps.
"Aunt!" Shangguan Yunzhu cried out sadly, struggling to hold Wan Youqi up. He Zhen suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the skirt of her clothes, dragged her in front of him, and said fiercely, "Stinky girl, your aunt It’s so unsmart. You should be smarter, right? Are you going to dance this dance or not?”
"Bastard!" As soon as He Zhen finished speaking, a minister stood up and pointed at He Zhen, sternly scolding, "He Zhen, no matter what, Shangguan Yunzhu is the princess of Tiandu Kingdom. She came to We, the Qingyun Empire, should treat each other with courtesy, how can you be so rude?"
"That's right! Mr. He, as a first-class member of the imperial court, you hit a woman. It is simply unseemly! The glory of my Qingyun Empire has been lost by you alone!"
"I really don't know how a scum like him can be the chief disciple of our Qingyun Empire!"
"That's right! Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to remove He Zhen from all his official positions, expel him from Yunzhong City, and banish him to the frontier fortress!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"
"Untie General Wan and Princess Shangguan!"
The ministers became excited again. All kinds of roars and curses came one after another, shaking all directions. They all spoke for Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu.
Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu were already in despair, but seeing the attitude of the officials of the Qingyun Empire, they immediately saw hope again, and their eyes filled with excitement.
"That's enough! Are you people with water in your head?" He Zhen was besieged again and again by the ministers. At this time, he also became angry and shouted angrily, "These two women were sent to our Qingyun by Tiandu Kingdom." The purpose of the empire's spies is to drag our Qingyun Empire into war. You are still protecting them like this. It's so stupid!"
As soon as He Zhen said this, the officials who were already furious stood up one after another, especially some generals who even drew their swords, eager to rush forward and chop He Zhen into pieces.
Seeing such a situation, He Zhen was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat. He hurriedly knelt down in front of Bai Zhenshan and said with a heartbroken look, "Your Majesty, I am so devoted, all for the country, the country, and the hundreds of millions of people. But they... they can't tolerate me and want to kill me at every turn. Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me."
Bai Zhenshan frowned, this He Zhen was simply a troublemaker. If this continues, he, the emperor, will be bound by him and become unpopular with others.
Seeing that Bai Zhenshan's expression was wrong, He Zhen was moved in his heart and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I asked Shangguan Yunzhu to dance, not for your sake, but to entertain Special Envoy Duan. Just like Special Envoy Duan finally came to our Qingyun Empire, you always We can’t let Special Envoy Duan return with regrets, right?”
Bai Zhenshan cursed in his heart, this He Zhen is really nothing. To say that Duan Xuan can't go home with regrets is simply bullshit. Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu were originally going to be handed over to Duan Xuan to bring back to the Iron War Dynasty. Duan Xuan wanted to see Shangguan Yunzhu dance at any time, but did he have to do it now? What He Zhen did was obviously to use his power as an emperor to support him and slap the civil and military officials in the court in the face.
Although Bai Zhenshan knew He Zhen's thoughts very clearly, since He Zhen had carried Duan Xuan out, Bai Zhenshan had to take over. Otherwise, wouldn't the dinner party he had worked so hard to prepare be in vain
"My dear friends, please be patient! It's just a dance, not that much. Come here, please untie Shangguan Yunzhu and Wan Youqi!" Bai Zhenshan waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty..."
The ministers wanted to remonstrate again, but Bai Zhenshan straightened his face and assumed the airs of an emperor, very majestic.
"No need to say any more! Shangguan Yunzhu, are you willing to dance for me?" Bai Zhenshan's cold eyes fell directly on Shangguan Yunzhu.
After all, he was the emperor of Shangguo, Shangguan Yunzhu's heart. Under Bai Zhenshan's gaze, everything went wrong in the blink of an eye. He looked like a frightened little white rabbit, and his delicate body was trembling. , looks very pitiable.
Shangguan Yunzhu would rather die than dance for Duan Xuan. But sometimes, death is the simplest thing. It is over as soon as your heart is turned aside and your eyes are closed. But what about after death? What should Wan Youqi do? What about the people of Tiandu Kingdom? If Bai Zhenshan gets angry and decides to join forces with the Tie Zhan Dynasty to deal with the Tiandu Kingdom, the Tiandu Kingdom will probably be wiped out in an instant.
"Aunt..." Shangguan Yunzhu looked at Wan Youqi aggrieved and helpless, with tears in her eyes.
Wan Youqi's heart felt as if it was being fried on an iron plate. Has Shangguan Yunzhu ever suffered such humiliation? Her helpless expression really broke Wan Youqi's heart.
"Okay, I... I'll jump." Wan Youqi's expression said it all. At this time, they have no other choice at all. Shangguan Yunzhu closed his eyes, and big tears fell down.
He Zhen chuckled and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Master Duan and Master Wei are distinguished guests. We must take good care of them. How about letting Wan Youqi be responsible for pouring wine for the two special envoys?"
After hearing this, Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu looked at each other and smiled. For the first time since they met He Zhen, they felt that He Zhen also had a cute side. This flattery just scratches their itch. Let the proud Wan Youqi pour wine for them. Just thinking about it made them excited.
When he saw the slightly smiling faces of Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu, He Zhen was even more happy, and his waist was extremely straight.
He raised his head and glanced at the livid-faced ministers, and said coldly in his heart, "Don't you want to protect them? I want to humiliate them to my heart's content and make you angry to death!"
Wan Youqi was feeling sad for the humiliation suffered by Shangguan Yunzhu. She never imagined that the next moment, the same bad luck would befall her.
Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu, a traitor of the Tiandu Kingdom, killed hundreds of thousands of Tiandu Kingdom soldiers and civilians, one is a mortal enemy of the Tiandu Kingdom, and their hands are stained with the blood of countless heroic spirits of the Tiandu Kingdom. Let Wan Youqi pour wine for two people like this, it would be better to shave her with a knife.
"Your Majesty!" Wan Youqi looked up at Bai Zhenshan with great grief and anger, and said through gritted teeth, "You can't die without just nodding your head! I, Wan Youqi, am standing here, and I will kill you if you want. Why should you humiliate me like this? Aren't you afraid of falling?" The reputation of the Qingyun Empire?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! You must not!"
As soon as Wan Youqi finished speaking, the officials of the Qingyun Empire responded one after another, and some even had a bad temper and greeted He Zhen's eighteenth generation ancestors on the spot.
Bai Zhenshan's expression changed a little, and the bastard He Zhen had gone out of his way again. In his opinion, this matter was really too much. As Wan Youqi said, if it spreads, it will be greatly detrimental to the honor of the Qingyun Empire.
But…
Bai Zhenshan turned his head and glanced at Duan Xuan, only to see Duan Xuan smiling and saying nothing, sitting quietly and waiting, obviously very agreeing with He Zhen's proposal.
Bai Zhenshan couldn't help but take a long breath, it doesn't matter, you have to do your best when it comes to acting! He could even be willing to give up Wan Youqi's life, so why should he care about anything else
After a pause, he looked at Wan Youqi and said, "Wan Youqi, Tiandu Kingdom sent you to our Yunzhong City to instigate our Qingyun Empire and the Iron War Dynasty to go to war. Your intentions are really sinister! It's you who have fallen into this situation today." It’s your own fault! If you agree to pour wine for Special Envoy Duan and Special Envoy Wei, then just do it. If you don’t want to, I will immediately order you and Shangguan Yunzhu to be pushed out and beheaded, and then we will launch an army to join forces with the Tie Zhan Dynasty to destroy your Tiandu Kingdom! "
"Ah!?" After hearing what Bai Zhenshan said, Wan Youqi felt as if someone had punched her in the heart. Her pretty face turned even darker than the color of ashes. Ugly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! General Wan, how can you help me?" Duan Xuan stood up with a smile at this time, first bowed to Bai Zhenshan, and then turned to look at Wan Youqi, his face full of pride. .
Wan Youqi felt a surge of anger in her heart, and then she felt a sweetness in her throat and spit out a blood arrow.
"Vomiting blood? Huh... Wan Youqi, even if you are going to die today, you have to serve the two special envoys before you die! Master Duan's wine glass is already empty, why don't you quickly pour wine for Master Duan? Do you really Do you want to destroy Tiandu Kingdom?"
He Zhen had no mercy and shouted directly at Wan Youqi.
Wan Youqi raised her head and scanned it for a week. What she could see was the prosperous, vast and majestic palace of the Qingyun Empire, but what she felt in her heart was desolation and helplessness as cold as ice. At this moment, Wan Youqi wished so much that she could dye the sky with blood and sacrifice her life to the world! But at this moment, even death is a luxury for Wan Youqi.
"Aunt..." Shangguan Yunzhu rushed forward and hugged the shaky Wan Youqi. Her face was stained with tears and she was already crying.
Wan Youqi gently stroked her hair and murmured, "Yunzhu, my aunt is useless, you have been wronged."
"No! It was Yunzhu who was useless and caused trouble for my aunt." Shangguan Yunzhu shook his head vigorously, and the aunt and nephew hugged each other and cried together. (To be continued)
