I went to bed too late last night and went to bed too early in the morning. I was so sleepy that I couldn't be energetic.
The father-in-law came in and announced that Bai Song had come with Miss Mo and the Julu Sword.
Then he whispered in Li Shimin's ear what happened in the Palace Square.
The key last sentence, "Everything returns to its original owner" and "The world returns to its heart" are conveyed intact.
My father-in-law accepted Bai Song's banknote, and he was not stingy in his favor.
Li Shimin listened without showing any expression and seemed not to care about these details.
Instead, he asked: "Do you think he stole the giant deer sword?"
The father-in-law smiled and said: "No matter where it comes from, it belongs to you, the emperor, so why bother about anything else?"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and brought the people in.
Bai Song waited outside and whispered to Qing'er to be more pious when facing the emperor.
Now that Qing'er is here, she no longer cares about the Mo family. She only has one thought, hoping that she can exchange her loyalty for the peace of the Bai family.
The father-in-law came out and called the two of them in.
Today is the most important moment, and Bai Song is much more respectful than usual.
Seeing Li Shimin taking a nap on the couch, Bai Song knelt down respectfully and saluted without saying a word.
He was willing to kneel down so that his whole family would be safe.
Qing'er followed closely behind, also kneeling down and not daring to raise her head.
The father-in-law presented the giant deer sword.
Li Shimin just stood up and looked at it. He didn't look at the two people kneeling in front of him, but looked seriously at the ancient sword that was nearly a thousand years old.
The Julu Sword has long lost its original sharpness, leaving it full of devastation. The lines on the sword are incomplete, and the bloodstains embedded in the rust are full of vicissitudes of life.
"As expected, it is the Mohist treasure, the Giant Deer Sword... It has created countless myths, but in the end it cannot escape the fate of becoming a piece of scrap metal."
Li Shimin stroked the blade of the sword, and there was a sadness for the sword between his brows.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Li Shimin finally handed the sword to his father-in-law: "Put it in my bedroom."
The father-in-law took the order and left.
Li Shimin glanced at Bai Song and didn't care. He was more concerned about Qing'er behind Bai Song.
"Girl from the Mo family, raise your head."
Qing'er raised her head slightly.
"She is really a beauty. No wonder she can turn the flower house in Youzhou upside down."
Qing'er's heart tightened, she didn't expect the emperor to know her so well: "Back to the emperor, a common girl was bewitched by the monsters of the Holy Lotus Sect and went astray. Today I offer the Giant Deer Sword to avenge her crime. I beg the emperor to forgive her."
"Are you really loyal to me forever?"
"A civilian girl has no disloyal intentions. She just wants to be an ordinary woman for the rest of her life."
"If your grandfather had the same consciousness as you, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. If one day, I catch your grandfather and ask you to kill him with your own hands, what will you do?"
Qing'er frowned and looked at Bai Song.
Qing'er was not embarrassed, but was surprised. She didn't expect that the young master had guessed the emperor's question correctly.
Qing'er already had the answer to this question and calmly replied: "The emperor will not be like this. The emperor is a benevolent king and will never force the people under his rule to do things that are contrary to human ethics. Grandpa has embarked on a path to go against the imperial court.
I thought that there would be a time when I would be captured. If I was really captured by the emperor, it would be my own choice. If I died, the daughter would just burn some paper money at home."
Li Shimin nodded: "Little girl, you have seen clearly. I believe you will sever ties with the Mo family."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Li Shimin looked at Bai Song again: "Boy, you can raise your head."
Bai Song raised his head with pious eyes.
"I am not someone who breaks my word. You have completed your work, and it is time for me to fulfill my promise."
After that, he took a roll of imperial edict from the pillow and threw it directly to Bai Song.
"According to my decree, go to the Prince Consort's Mansion and ask the guards to withdraw."
Bai Song was trembling with excitement. He hurriedly picked up the imperial edict from the ground and wanted to open it to see what was written inside. However, he thought about whether it would be bad to do this in front of the emperor, so he finally endured it.
He put the imperial edict into his sleeves.
"I will also release the Mohists who are imprisoned in Dali Temple."
Qing'er was also overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty... Many thanks, Your Majesty..."
"Don't be too happy too early. If anyone from the Mo family who is currently in prison dares to commit any crime, I will hold you accountable."
"The women of the people know that they will definitely draw a clear line with the Mo family and will never do anything against the imperial court."
The big event that took half a year of hard work is finally over at this moment!
Bai Song and Qing'er exchanged glances, full of joy and excitement.
Li Shimin no longer paid attention to Qing'er, and his eyes stayed on Bai Song.
Bai Song noticed Li Shimin's eyes and suddenly became a little nervous. He thought to himself that there wouldn't be any extraneous matters, right?
Li Shimin spoke: "It took you half a year to solve the Holy Lotus Sect, which I spent several years of hard work to solve. What should I say, what do you want me to reward you for?"
Bai Song was stunned.
reward?
Are there any rewards?
This is something Bai Song couldn't even imagine.
Seeing Bai Song's stunned expression, Li Shimin finally smiled.
"Get up, don't kneel down. I am not a person who wants to withhold money. If you are guilty, you should be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded. Although you are guilty, your merits are enough to make up for your faults. Therefore, I will also reward you, you
If you have any requests, just ask."
Bai Song swallowed, this surprise came too suddenly, didn't it?
Looking at Li Shimin again, he realized that he was not joking. A flash of lightning flashed in Bai Song's mind, and he blurted out: "I beg the emperor to grant me a marriage!"
"Marriage?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "Li Jing's granddaughter, Li Shuwang, right?"
"Yes!" Bai Song was excited. This was his promise to Shu Wang. He would definitely let the emperor grant her a marriage and ask her to marry him openly.
"You are quite courageous. It is already taboo for a prince-in-law to have concubines, so you still want me to grant you a marriage?"
Bai Song frowned, wondering if he was too happy too early?
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Shimin smiled easily: "But if you destroy the Holy Lotus Sect, I will grant you a marriage and shut everyone's mouths."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Song was so happy that he finally got what he wanted in his heart. Looking back at the women around him, Shu Wang felt the most guilty. He gave her hope again and again, but let her down again and again. This time, it would not happen.
Things have changed.
Qing'er listened on the side, with endless envy in her eyes, but she was also a little lonely. Looking at Bai Song's back, she thought when would she be able to have an upright identity?
Suddenly, Bai Song said to Li Shimin again: "Your Majesty, I still have something to ask for."
"besides?"
"Actually, it's the same thing. Since Shu Wang has been granted a marriage, why doesn't the emperor also issue a decree to grant a marriage to Miss Mo? Your Majesty, don't worry, in the future, she will be in charge of the grassroots, and she will definitely not interact with the Mo family.
If she wants to commit a crime, the emperor does not need to take action, the common people will use family methods at home first!"
