The guard jumped off his horse and ran to the execution stage, holding the jade spot in his hand and pointing: "The emperor has a decree!"
At this time, there is a decree, and it must be to release Guo Zhen. Rong Changan pretended not to know, smiled slightly and said:
"After I behead Guo Zhen, it won't be too late to listen to the order."
The guard hurriedly said: "The emperor's will is to release Guo Zhen!"
Rong Changan deliberately did not disclose any information to Yan Li, because he was afraid that he would object. Who told him that she was going to kill Guo Zhen
"Is this really what the emperor meant?"
The guard brought the Yuban finger to Rong Chang'an: "Here is the Yuban finger, how dare the little one do anything wrong!"
Rong Chang'an held Yu Banzhi in his hand and looked at it: "Who went to see the emperor just now?"
The guard said: "The imperial concubine Ziyan has seen the emperor."
Rong Chang'an snorted coldly: "I knew it was this woman!" His tone suddenly became very severe, "Didn't I tell you not to let anyone go to see the emperor and disturb the emperor's rest?"
The guard's thighs were trembling: "Emperor Empress, I didn't let her in, but she was crying in the small courtyard next to Yong'an Palace. When the emperor found out, the emperor ordered us to bring Concubine Ziyan back to the palace and ask us to understand." .”
Rong Changan smiled coldly. Thinking in his stomach, this woman Ziyan really knows how to sneak into every hole, she has already guarded the gate strictly, but Ziyan still took advantage of the loopholes.
Needless to say, Zi Yan also revealed to Yan Li about beheading Guo Zhen.
"Okay, I see, you can go back to Yong'an Palace to serve the emperor!"
The guard didn't understand what Rong Changan meant, so he slightly raised his eyes to look at her.
"What does the empress mean to release Guo Zhen?"
A mocking smile flashed across Rong Chang'an's beautiful face: "I said, I know what the emperor means, you can go back."
The guard looked embarrassed: "If the emperor asks me, how should I answer? Also ask the queen to release Guo Zhen, so that I can go back and tell the emperor clearly."
Rong Chang'an said: "You just need to convey my thoughts to the emperor, don't worry about other things! I will go back and explain to the emperor in a while." Suddenly, she lowered her eyes, "Could it be that if I say it, you also Don't you listen?"
Naturally, the guards did not dare to say that they would not listen to Rong Chang'an's words, so they weighed it in their hearts and said, "Okay then, I will go back to the palace first, and wait for the good news from Queen Rong!"
The guards stepped down from the prison platform, jumped on their horses, galloped away, and then entered Yong'an Palace to report.
Yan Li blinked his dragon eyes, and looked at the guards: "What, can the Queen let Master Guo go?"
The guard dripped sweat from his cheeks: "Emperor... queen, she... she..."
"What's up with her?"
The guard said: "The queen just said that she already knows the emperor's will and will come back to Yong'an Palace in a while."
Yan Liban lowered his eyes, already understood the meaning of Rong Changan's words, and couldn't help shaking his head. He should have understood Rong Changan's personality long ago, how could a guard stop her from beheading Guo Zhen! He really should have gone to the Meridian Gate in person just now, but it was too late now.
"Okay, I get it. You go out!"
He tried to move his body, and the severe pain made the muscles on his face twitch. How can he take over the regime in such a state? But let Rong Changan go on like this, the government will not be able to mess with the law!
Not long after, the familiar sound of footsteps sounded outside the dormitory. The pace was neither too fast nor too slow, neither too heavy nor too heavy.
As soon as Rong Changan entered the door, it was as if a bright light flashed on him, and Yan Li's sharp and deep eyes shot straight at her. Facing his gaze, Rong Changan showed an alluring smile.
"Your majesty, this is your jade finger, you have to wear it!"
Rong Changan helped Yan Li put the Yuban finger on, Yan Li's eyes were not on the Yuban finger, but kept staring at Rong Changan.
The parrot shouted "Yan Li, Yan Li!" After a while, it changed its voice and called, "Chang'an, Chang'an!"
Rong Changan frowned: "Your Majesty, why is the parrot wet?" Looking carefully, he found that there were some tea leaves in the iron cage, and on the case, there was also tea leaves in a teacup. "Did Concubine Ziyan drink tea just now?"
Yan Li didn't listen to what Rong Changan said, but asked sternly: "You killed Guo Zhen, didn't you?"
Rong Changan didn't answer Yan Li's words, he picked up the teacup and asked Yan Li, "Did Zi Yan drink tea just now?"
Yan Li suddenly raised his voice: "I ask you, did you behead Guo Zhen?"
The four eyes met, and they were very strict with each other, but neither of them softened and looked away.
"Yes, I just killed Guo Zhen at the Meridian Gate."
"Cough cough..." Yan Li coughed twice, looking strangely at Rong Changan who didn't give in or compromise, "Didn't I tell you not to kill and let Guo Zhen go. You...cough cough...why didn't you Listen to me? You... do you love killing people so much?"
Yan Li's cough reached Rong Chang'an's heart, and a trace of tenderness flashed across her eyes. But her face was still cold, like the cold autumn wind blowing from outside the door.
"I only promised the emperor not to kill, but I didn't say not to kill Guo Zhen. Maybe the emperor misunderstood me."
"What crime did Guo Zhen commit? You must punish him to death?"
Rong Changan asked Yan Li back: "Since you don't know what crime he committed, why did you ask me not to kill him?"
Yan Li breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to scold Rong Changan angrily, he wanted to talk to Rong Changan as softly as possible: "Then tell me, what crime did he commit?"
Rong Chang'an said: "In order to cover up the crime, innocent people were arrested. Pretend to be the assassin who assassinated the emperor, and deceive me and the emperor like this. Shouldn't they be killed?"
"Even if he really deceived you, you can't rush to kill him? Convict him today and behead him tomorrow. How can you convince the courtiers? How can you convince the people?"
Rong Changan smiled and raised his chin slightly: "My purpose has never been to convince the courtiers or the common people."
Yan Li was very surprised that Rong Changan would say such words: "If you don't convince the courtiers or the common people, what purpose do you want to achieve?"
"I want the world to be peaceful, the people to be happy, the court to be pure, and the emperor to have no worries." Chang'an calmly spat out a few words between his white teeth.
"Killing Guo Zhen can make the world peaceful, the people happy, the court pure, and I have no worries?" Yan Liyu said earnestly, "Chang'an, have you gone the wrong way?"
Rong Changan didn't want to explain too much, his eyes turned around, and he looked at Yan Li with a clear and lingering look, there seemed to be infinite sadness in those eyes.
"If the emperor thinks that I am not qualified to act as an agent of state affairs and handle government affairs, he can dismiss me now."
"I have no such intention!"
"Since the emperor doesn't have that intention, then I'm going out. It won't affect the emperor's rest and recuperation."
