There was silence in the square. The little emperor stood in a protective circle formed by a group of guards. For some reason, he felt chilled for the first time in his life.
From a very young age, he has lived a life of responding to requests.
He was the only son of the late emperor and the most orthodox heir of the country. Although he was only six years old when he ascended the throne, he had a diligent uncle and a doting and gentle mother, so he was able to grow up under his wings.
Carefree, I never know what "rejection" means.
Although the empire was in turmoil, he still lived in a greenhouse. He opened his mouth when food came, and stretched out his hands when clothes came. He always took what he asked for, and was omnipotent.
So he raised a group of wanton playmates and a group of flattering helpers. Under the instigation of these guys, he gradually became a little naughty boy who no one could control.
To this day, he clearly feels that he has been as smart as possible, safeguarded the interests of both parties as much as possible, and thinks that he handles affairs like a real emperor.
Unfortunately, what the little emperor didn't expect was that he encountered a weirdo on his first try! A weirdo who had a lot of first-class meritorious deeds, just to get discouraged by killing people, and even didn't even buy the emperor's face for it! Staring across the way
The little emperor was so angry and resentful that he wanted to tear Li Xuan into pieces.
But Xia Ruixue was there, and her solemn expression reminded the little emperor of the only experience of being spanked when he was a child, so he had no choice but to be honest.
"Auntie...what exactly do you want to say?"
the little emperor asked.
Just as Xia Ruixue was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from the distance.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
"elder sister!"
"Queen mother?"
Everyone looked over in surprise.
Not long after the celebration was held, the Queen Mother left to rest. Otherwise, if there had been such a big fuss, she would have come over to find out what was going on.
But no one expected that the Queen Mother who had left would come back again. Could someone tell the truth?
A group of people appeared in the square, and among them was a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes who was the queen mother who had returned.
Her beautiful face was as dark as water, as if there were dark clouds covering it. As soon as she appeared, she looked at the charred corpses on the ground, her eyes swept over Li Xuan, and finally fell on the little emperor.
"what happened?"
The Queen Mother's voice was very calm, but only a fool could not hear the anger contained in it.
Xu Kai immediately called out to Qu: "Queen Mother, please make the decision for me..." Before his crying performance could begin, the Queen Mother had already said with a stern face: "Shut up, I didn't ask you!"
Xu Kai's tears and cries were immediately suppressed, and his face turned red.
The little emperor coughed dryly and was about to speak, but was stopped by the Queen Mother's gaze.
"I'm asking you."
The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Xia Ruixue.
"Sister, it's like this..." Xia Ruixue took a deep breath and recounted what had just happened in an impartial and neutral manner.
"What a Xu Kai, he actually molested the distinguished guests at the celebration!"
The Queen Mother's pupils shrank and she looked at Xu Kai coldly.
"Queen Mother..." Xu Kai knelt down with a pop, trembling all over, "I... this is a misunderstanding!"
The Queen Mother ignored him, looked at Sang Jingyu and Luo Li and said, "You two, I'm really sorry.
I apologize to you on his behalf, and I can guarantee that a similar situation will never happen again in the future!"
Luo Li was okay, she received an apology from the Queen Mother, and her eyebrows relaxed slightly.
Sang Jingyu said reluctantly: "Is this okay?
Queen Mother, look at Sister Luo Li’s shoulder, there are his fingerprints on it! This guy also said that Sister Luo Li and I are assassins, and wants the emperor to execute Brother Li Xuan! It’s so abominable!”
She was quite eccentric, and she put the execution order of the little emperor on Xu Kai's head, so as not to make the little emperor unable to step down.
Xu Kai knelt on the ground, his heart froze when he heard these words. He wanted to refute but didn't dare. He was so aggrieved that he almost fainted! Seeing that the situation was not good, the little emperor said bravely: "Mother, this matter Xu Kai
What you have done is indeed excessive and should be punished.
But Li Xuan killed six people, how can we count this matter!"
The Queen Mother looked at Li Xuan with deep eyes.
Li Xuan also looked back, his eyes clear and without the slightest fear.
The two of them stared at each other for a full five seconds, neither of them looking away, and sparks almost collided in the air.
Finally, the Queen Mother said calmly: "Li Xuan, you have to give an explanation."
Li Xuan said: "The explanation lies with Her Highness the Princess, please tell her."
Xia Ruixue sighed softly, things had reached this point, and even she didn't know how to end it.
But she knew one thing very well, Li Xuan had to keep it, even if it meant sacrificing the little emperor's face! She walked towards the Queen Mother and whispered a few words in her ear.
The Queen Mother's expression gradually changed. Even though she had heard of Li Xuan's name, she never thought that Li Xuan had made so many first-class contributions to the country.
Among these achievements, she had heard a little bit about the alliance between Yunteng and Daqi, and the loan from the Ferris Chamber of Commerce, but she knew nothing about other secrets.
It was not until now that she heard the seven great achievements made by Li Xuan that the Queen Mother understood why Xia Ruixue admired Li Xuan so much.
Especially the completion of the design drawings of Unit 1. Even the Queen Mother understood the importance of this matter. It was actually completed by Li Xuan alone, and it was praised by all the masters, which made her look pale.
In this way, not to mention that Li Xuan has seven great merits, which are enough to offset the crime of killing six people. Even if he only has this one great merit, Li Xuan must keep it! The Queen Mother wanted to understand this and looked at Li Xuan with a clear look.
It's become more complicated.
As the de facto true ruler of a country, there was no one who was not submissive and frightened in front of her, but this Li Xuan didn't have the slightest bit of fear.
Are you proud of your talents?
It seems so, but can a talent that even the emperor and the queen mother don't pay attention to can really be used by Yunteng forever?
The Queen Mother's thoughts moved slightly, and she actually had a faint murderous intention.
To her, if talents cannot be used by Yunteng, even if they come across once in ten thousand years, they are worthless! Li Xuan's existence may be Yunteng's good luck, but judging from the current situation, it is even more
It might be a curse! A slight change in the Queen Mother's expression fell in Xia Ruixue's eyes, and she understood immediately. She couldn't help but remind her again: "Sister, Li Xuan is a good friend of Master Lu Benhong..." "What!"
The Queen Mother's face could not conceal her shock this time, and she almost exclaimed.
Xia Ruixue explained a few more words in a low voice. By the time she finished speaking, the Queen Mother had a dumbfounded look on her face.
She never dreamed that Li Xuan would have a deep friendship with Lu Benhong.
If this is the case, then you absolutely cannot move!
