Ziyan settled down, lowered her eyes and pondered, if Guo Zhen casually finds someone to pretend to be an assassin, Yan Li will definitely not release Guo Zhen, why not take Huluti and let Yan Li release Guo Zhen first.
"I remembered that Mr. Guo didn't commit any serious crimes, and I don't know why the queen wanted to kill him! Guo Zhen is the commander of the Nine Sects, a fourth-rank official. The court has always stipulated that senior officials above the fourth rank must Repeated cases. But Empress Rong didn't go through this procedure at all, she directly had the final say, kill if you want to kill, let go if you want to let go."
"Now the court ministers are talking a lot, saying that the queen is too arbitrary and self-willed, and must ruin the Dajing Kingdom. I feel uncomfortable, and the queen will not let me see the emperor. Thinking about it is very sad. It is in the courtyard opposite Yong'an Palace Crying, hoping to reach heaven to listen."
Although Ziyan deliberately evaded his words, Yan Li understood why Rong Changan wanted to kill Guo Zhen.
That night, Guo Zhen led his troops to break into Yong'an Palace and almost ran into Rong Changan. Rong Changan thought that he was planning to rebel, so he wanted to clean up.
Yan Li had already said that he should not kill the ministers of the court, but govern the world with kindness, but Rong Chang'an didn't listen. The Du Keming incident last time had already had a bad influence on her. If she killed Guo Zhen again this time, she would make more enemies in the court. I am afraid that Yan Li will not be able to protect her position as queen in the future.
Chang'an, Chang'an, I always wanted to protect you, why didn't you listen to me and act willfully
Ziyan, who is good at observing words and expressions, saw Yan Lijian's eyebrows frowned, like two small hillocks, and her complexion was very gloomy. And in his deep and calm eyes, there was a painful light.
The corner of Ziyan's mouth curled up, revealing a smug smile. At this moment, it is time to strike while the iron is hot, persuade Yan Li, and issue an imperial decree to release Guo Zhen. She took a few steps on her knees and arrived under the roof.
"Your Majesty, if you kill court ministers so casually, wouldn't the others feel chilled? Who is willing to contribute to the country and serve the Emperor? Even if Mr. Guo committed a serious crime, the case should be repeatedly tested so that he dies worthy of death."
As she said that, Zi Yan cried again, wiped the corners of her eyes, and put on a show: "If Empress Rong is allowed to behave like this, the country will be ruined. I can't sleep at night, and I feel sad when I think about it."
Yan Li coughed violently on the bed: "Ahem..." It seemed as if he was about to cough up his entire internal organs.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zi Yan stood up, wiped Yan Li's chest, and patted Yan Li's back, "How are you? Is your injury flare-up? Oh, if I knew that the Emperor's injury is still so serious, I wouldn't Came to see you. It's all my fault!"
When wiping Yan Li's chest, Zi Yan sneaked a peek at Yan Li's back, only to see a white gauze tied from his left shoulder to his right side, the gauze was dripping with blood, and there was a pungent smell of externally applied medicine. De Ziyan almost coughed too.
There was a hint of ferocity in Zi Yan's eyes, and she thought that if the assassin's knife had been deeper that day, Yan Li would have been in mourning. It is useless to scold the assassin in my heart.
But there was a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I'll pour you a glass of water and drink it to moisten your throat."
I found the teapot and teacup on the case, poured out a cup of tea, and was about to serve it to Yan Li, when I caught a glimpse of the parrot staring at her with yellow eyes, purring and flying in the cage, Zi Yan was startled jumped.
With a bang, the teacup fell to the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with carpet, so the teacup did not break.
Yan Li didn't notice the teacup fell to the ground, but called out in a cold voice, "Come here!"
As soon as the words fell, a big inner guard ran in and knelt beside the bed: "What is the emperor's order?"
Yan Li withdrew the Yuban finger from his finger and threw it on the ground: "Take this Yuban finger and go to the queen and ask her to release Guo Zhen immediately."
The guard said: "Young one, let's go!"
Yuban finger emits green light, the light is pure and soft, not dazzling. The guard picked it up and held it in his palm, and immediately left Yong'an Palace.
Zi Yan was very happy. On the one hand, Guo Zhen can be rescued, on the other hand, she has more or less caused a misunderstanding between Yan Li and Rong Changan, causing them to have estrangement and suspicion. This is the best of both worlds, how can she not be happy!
"Your majesty, my concubine is very happy to have such a benevolent emperor like you in Dajing."
Yan Li was upset, and waved his hand at Zi Yan: "Now you can go! I want to rest for a while."
Zi Yan still wanted to show her courtesy: "Your Majesty, you are quite lonely here by yourself, why don't I accompany you for a while."
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Chang'an, Chang'an!" Five or six times in a row.
Zi Yan's delicate body was startled, thinking that Rong Changan was coming, her complexion turned completely white, even the tip of her small and exquisite nose turned white. He looked at the entrance of the main hall in horror, but only the autumn wind was blowing close to the ground, sending waves of coolness to his body.
Only then did she know that it was the parrot in the iron cage that made the sound. She pouted her mouth and gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to kill the parrot with one bite.
Yan Li closed his eyes and said in a calm, slightly weak voice, "You heard me too, I have someone here to accompany me. Let's go!"
"Your Majesty, this bird that pays tribute from a barbarian land is also considered a human being..."
"Go away!" A knife was shot from Yan Li's half-opened eyes. Zi Yan's body shook slightly.
Zi Yan looked bored, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is resigning, the emperor pays attention to the dragon's body!" Looking at the teacup on the ground, he said, "I just dropped the teacup on the ground, pick it up and I will Walk!"
Zi Yan picked up the teacup, secretly poured a cup of tea, and splashed it towards the parrot. The parrot fluttered its wings and patted the tea on its feathers.
At this moment, Zi Yan was in a better mood, curled her lips, and said in her heart: "I see you are still staring at me! Burn you to death!"
Flapping his arms, he walked out of Yong'an Palace swaying.
Outside the Meridian Gate, Rong Changan was sitting on the execution stage, opposite to the terrace where criminals were dealt with. Guo Zhen was kneeling on it with his hands and feet bound, with a crime card stuck behind his back. He had already drank two pots of wine in the prison, and passed away drunk at this time. The shirtless executioner stood beside him with a shining big knife in his hand, waiting for the time to cut.
Rong Chang'an did not invite the ministers of the imperial court to come, but executed him in isolation. So Zhang An, Geng Di and others were not at the scene.
Rong Changan looked up at the sunlight in the sky, and asked Tai Shiling who was standing beside him, "It's a quarter to three in the afternoon?"
Tai Shiling was in charge of astronomy and calendar, looked at the Huabiao set up next to him, and said back, "It's three quarters past noon!"
Rong Changan then threw the sign out, and was about to shout: "Behead!" when he heard a fast horse rushing up. Rong Chang'an turned to look, but it was the guards guarding Yong'an Palace. A look of panic flashed across Rong Chang'an's eyes: Could it be that something happened to Yan Li
