The emperor was sitting in the inner hall, watching the colored sand in the hourglass slowly slipping down, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy. Finally, when the hourglass finished leaking, he became furious, slapped the table angrily, and asked in a cold voice: "Where are they? No one came, what do they think I am?"
"Your Majesty, calm down." The ministers knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"Calm down your anger, calm down, what else can you say besides happiness and anger? Look at these traitors, do they still take my words seriously? They are clearly trying to rebel. They are rebelling." The emperor covered his head. He spoke angrily while patting the table with a gasping sound.
The ministers all looked at each other, no one dared to answer the question, and they were also wondering in their hearts. It would be fine if this one didn't come. Why didn't he come? If the inner guards hadn't come back, they really thought that the princes had not come back. Received news.
But now no matter what you say, it's useless. The emperor was already agitated by the loss of the border town. Now that all the princes have not come, it really adds fuel to the fire. Whoever is talking is hard to guarantee that he will be implicated. Now Mingzhebao God is what matters.
Looking at the shrunken ministers, the emperor's evil fire had nowhere to vent, and finally said: "Go, and then go and summon me. Anyone who doesn't come will be imprisoned in the prison."
The inner warden nodded in response, turned around and went out. However, just halfway through, a dusty soldier came up and said, "Please send a message from the inner warden that the front line is in emergency and Beichuan has been lost."
"What? You stay here later, I will report to the emperor right now."
The eunuch knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to delay. After receiving the news, he quickly entered the inner hall, knelt on the ground and explained the matter.
After hearing the news, the emperor still had time to vent his anger with several princes. The most important thing now was to protect the Dali border. If another city was lost, Dali would be completely in crisis.
"All the ministers have heard it. Di Qingchen is really bullying others. Do you have any ideas?" The emperor glanced at the ministers and asked with a frown.
Prime Minister Bai Kai was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this Emperor Qingchen is ungrateful, wolf-hearted, and ruthless in doing things. We can no longer talk about peace. Now we can only start a war."
Song Qi, the Minister of Punishment, also nodded in agreement: "I also think that Daliang should be taught a lesson, otherwise he would really think that there is no one in Dali."
However, Xiao Shu said: "I think I should first send a message to the fifth princess Fei Ge to inquire about Di Qingchen's intentions, and then make plans."
"Intention? His intention is already very obvious. He wants to usurp my land in Dali and start a war. What other intentions are there? If he delays it, he will hit his doorstep." Bai Kai said in an angry voice.
However, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Just follow Xiao Shu's wishes. Now that our Dali treasury is empty, it is really not appropriate to start a war."
"Your Majesty?" Bai Kai wanted to say something else, but was quietly stopped by Mu Nanfeng beside him.
After the last battle, Mu Nanfeng discovered that the current emperor has done nothing at all. He only cares about pleasure and suspicion of people's hearts, and has completely put aside governing the country. As for war, he will never fight if he can negotiate peace. Today's emperor Li Jiangshan was destroyed in his hands.
"That's it. If anything happens, we'll discuss it tomorrow morning." The emperor felt sullen and didn't want to discuss it anymore. He stood up and walked away.
Bai Kai, who is in his seventies, stood up tremblingly, shook his head and sighed: "Dali is in danger, Dali is in danger."
"Old Prime Minister, please be more relaxed." Mu Nanfeng said in a comforting voice.
"It's a pity that the foundation of the Second Emperor Qingfeng was destroyed in the hands of the Hunjun. I feel ashamed of my great ancestor and emperor, and of their entrustment." Bai Kai said, covering his face and crying.
Mu Nanfeng looked around hurriedly and saw that no one was listening. Then he relaxed and said, "Old Prime Minister, please don't mention this kind of thing again."
… …
When Ning Jiuwei opened his eyes, he looked at the tent above his head. His thoughts gradually returned, and fragments came to him one by one. The skin-to-skin contact with Qin Lin lasted for two days and two nights, and the delicate gasping sound is still there to this day. ear, making her face turn red.
"woke up?"
Hearing the familiar voice, she turned her head and saw Qin Lin's slightly smiling face. A flash of discomfort flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt something pressing against her lower abdomen.
"Qin Lin, if you are still shameless, get up quickly. Why are you in love so early in the morning?"
Ning Jiuwei said as she was about to sit up, but suddenly realized that she was wearing nothing, and her exposed skin was covered with bruises and bruises, reminding her of the craziness of the past two days.
When this scene fell into Qin Lin's eyes, his eyes suddenly darkened, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he instantly transformed into a wolf. He knocked Ning Jiuwei down again and said, "Let's do it again."
"Qin Lin, you big ****, get up... um..."
Ning Jiuwei's resistance was soon overwhelmed by Qin Lin's teasing. Wave after wave of pleasure hit her, making her unable to resist, and finally she could only collapse in Qin Lin's arms.
"Jiuwei, let's get married." Qin Lin started to move as he spoke.
"Hmm~" Ning Jiuwei couldn't hear what Qin Lin was saying at this time, and just nodded randomly.
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's agreement, the smile on Qin Lin's lips became more and more obvious. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, all the way down, rubbing the bright red area repeatedly.
I don't know how long it took before Qin Lin withdrew from it, wrapped Ning Jiuwei in a quilt and entered the hot spring, and then started massaging her.
Ning Jiuwei was exhausted in the past two days. She lay in Qin Lin's arms and fell asleep once again. Her sweet appearance was so endearing that Qin Lin couldn't help but kiss her forehead again.
By the time Qin Lin finished packing and walked out, it was already noon, and although it was the winter sun, it was still dazzling and warm.
"Fourth Master, you are finally out."
Bai Hua looked at Qin Lin and was so excited that he almost shed tears. Wow, it's not easy. The past two days have almost caught up to two years.
"What happened?" Qin Lin asked with a frown.
Mo Yu glanced at Bai Hua and really wanted to kick him out. He said, "Fourth Master, Daliang has repeatedly violated our border and has lost three cities in a row. The emperor declares you to enter the palace."
Qin Lin's eagle eyes suddenly turned cold and he asked, "When did it happen?"
"What happened two days ago, but my subordinates have already detained the three princes. Now please ask the fourth master to enter the palace quickly." Mo Yu said.
After hearing these words, Qin Lin didn't care about anything else. He didn't go to court for two days. He didn't know how the courtiers would criticize him. Now that such a big thing happened, it couldn't be justified. Fortunately, the other three didn't enter the palace, otherwise Everything is really over.
"Fourth Master, Third Master is still at home, do you want to wake him up and go with you?" Bai Hua asked.
He thought that now that the fourth master was the first to enter the palace to meet the emperor, the emperor's anger would definitely be directed at the fourth master. If the third master also followed, he could share some of the burden.
Obviously Qin Lin also thought about it. He nodded and said, "Go and call him."
