On the contrary, Zhan Wuqi's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger: "Thanks to the Holy Grace, everything is going well for me recently."
Emperor Yanwu's face twitched violently, and he glanced at Su Jiangyi next to him and was stunned again.
As early as when Zhan Wuqi entered the palace, someone from the palace came to retaliate, and Zhan Wuqi also brought the humble maid.
No wonder the war king, who has always been cold-blooded and ruthless, is also crazy about her. This woman is indeed quite beautiful!
Emperor Yanwu understood clearly, but he reprimanded him: "Who is this? War King, how can cats and dogs be brought in to this important palace? There are no rules!"
Zhan Wuqi stood in front of Su Jiangyi, his dark eyes dark and cold: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, this is..."
He paused and looked at Su Jiangyi with a soft look in his eyes, "My new love."
Emperor Yanwu seemed to have found the reason for the attack, "Just for such a woman, you not only abandoned the friendship with Su Lingyu for many years, but also begged me to take back the decree? Now you even brought her to the Linde Hall openly... to fight
King, you have become increasingly confused recently!"
Emperor Yanwu's words were ridiculed, and Zhan Wuqi seemed to be particularly impressed, with a helpless smile on Jun's face:
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I have been in love with Doctor Su for a long time and cannot be separated from her for a moment!"
At the moment, there was an uproar!
Even the ninth princess behind Emperor Yanwu couldn't help but look down.
What kind of cold-blooded character is the King of War?
Even Su Jiangyi had never been so protected by him, right?
For a moment, the gaze that fell on Su Jiangyi was a bit inquisitive and hostile.
Su Jiangyi looked cold.
This situation and scene were not unfamiliar to her.
Eight years ago, Zhan Wuqi was more popular than she is now. For a country princess like her who "snatches love with a sword", the major families in the capital were full of ill will.
This is how she passed through malice again and again, and she was already...familiar with it.
Zhan Wuqi would never stand up for her. He made everyone know that she was important, but he never thought that along with his attention would come endless schemes and traps.
Su Jiangyi had already smelled the familiar smell of conspiracy in the air, but her expression did not change. She stood up gracefully: "The daughter of the people has met the emperor. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Emperor Yanwu would never put a woman in his eyes, and his hostility would only be directed at Zhan Wuqi.
Therefore, he nodded slightly: "Sit down."
Su Jiangyi sat down as he was told and looked around as if he didn't exist.
Emperor Yanwu quickly looked away, "Today's banquet is a great joy. Since the time of Taizu, the Tiger Talisman has been divided into two. Now finally..."
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
An old voice sounded in the hall.
An old minister walked out shakily, leaning on a cane.
He went to the center and knelt down with a bang, "Old minister, I beg your Majesty to return the Tiger Talisman to Prince Zhan's Mansion!"
Emperor Yanwu tightened his grip and almost crushed the wine glass to pieces.
Zhan Wuqi said: "Master Kong, I am willing to return the tiger talisman. I also ask Master Kong not to embarrass the emperor."
Taishi Kong said sadly: "The etiquette cannot be discarded! Since Taizu made it clear at the beginning that this half of the tiger talisman must be kept by Prince Zhan's palace, it is the inheritance of the palace from generation to generation. How can he hand over this tiger talisman just because of the prince's whim?
Go out? This is called Taizu's knowledge under the spring. How can you feel at ease?
Your Majesty, that half of the tiger talisman can only be used to its fullest effect in the hands of the prince! Taizu has Taizu’s considerations in mind. I am bold and I only ask the emperor not to let down the kindness of my ancestors!”
Emperor Yanwu's face was frighteningly gloomy.
"Master Kong, do you know what you are talking about?"
If it weren't for the person kneeling in the palace, it was Taishi Kong, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties. At this moment, he would have ordered people to throw this old guy who talks nonsense out!
Emperor Yanwu's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Can the War King hold this Tiger Talisman, but I can't?"
Taishi Kong said seriously: "That's true. Your Majesty, Taizu ordered the world that this half of the Tiger Talisman can only be kept in Prince Zhan's Mansion. If the Emperor accepts the Tiger Talisman, I'm afraid everyone in the world will be dissatisfied with the Emperor! Please think twice, Your Majesty.
!”
Emperor Yanwu had never suffered such humiliation.
The Tiger Talisman should have been his, but it fell into the hands of the King of War. He had tolerated it for many years. Now that he finally got the Tiger Talisman back, this old guy actually asked him to return it to the King of War?
What a fart!
No one in the palace dared to speak, and the emperor's face was filled with an obscure dark tone.
At this time, a sweet voice sounded: "The Grand Master's words are wrong. It is not that the emperor wants to take away the tiger talisman, but that the prince begs the emperor to accept the tiger talisman. The emperor cannot bear the disappointment of the prince, so he reluctantly accepts it. The emperor is kind-hearted, and the world
If people know the truth, they will only be grateful to Mingjun!"
The one who spoke was the Ninth Princess.
She stood up with a smile on her face and said: "Grand Master, Your Majesty is a man of beauty. This matter is something you and I wish to do. In my opinion, Grand Master does not need to interfere, right?"
Grand Master Kong raised his head to look at her and snorted coldly: "How can a woman be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court? The people of the world will not care about the truth. As long as the tiger talisman is not returned to Prince Zhan's Mansion for one day, the emperor may be betrayed by the people of the world.
Ridiculous!
If the emperor is disgraced one day, can the ninth princess bear such responsibility?"
The ninth princess smiled stiffly, "Although I am a woman, I am also a member of the royal family. I can understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. On the contrary, Grand Master Kong asked the emperor to return the tiger talisman for no reason. Could it be that he was entrusted by someone else?
"
She looked at Zhan Wuqi.
Zhan Wuqi's eyes also fell on her, his expression was calm, and there was no hint of guilt.
The Ninth Princess narrowed her eyes.
So, is this Zhan Wuqi’s instruction?
Grand Master Kong angrily rebuked: "Ninth Princess, please don't accuse me unjustly! Today, I have sacrificed my face to stand up for the sake of the country and the country. If you don't listen, I will naturally be unable to do anything to you. But I really don't want to watch the emperor step forward."
You made a mistake, please allow me to leave the palace banquet today!"
Emperor Yanwu said nothing.
Grand Master Kong got up from the ground with difficulty, took a deep look at Emperor Yanwu, and slowly walked out of the palace on crutches.
"Master!"
There were many ministers from the Taishi faction in the palace who looked unbearable.
But Emperor Yanwu, the leader, looked worried, and all the ministers did not dare to step forward. They could only watch Grand Master Kong staggering out.
The atmosphere in the palace was almost stagnant, and anyone could tell that Emperor Yanwu was in a bad mood.
The Ninth Princess looked exquisite and raised her glass: "Master Kong is old, so it is natural for him to leave the banquet early. Otherwise, the palace banquet will be over, and it will be long past his time to rest. The emperor is considerate of the old minister, and he is really kind-hearted.
I’d like to offer you a drink to the Emperor, sister!”
She was always good at dancing. After drinking a glass of sake, the courtiers who wanted to lighten the atmosphere also raised their glasses.
When the dancer entered the palace, the silk and bamboo curled up, dispersing the suffocating condensation just now, as if the farce just now did not exist!
But Emperor Yanwu's mood was affected after all, and he looked worried.
The Ninth Princess rolled her eyes and landed on Su Jiangyi, her smile not reaching her eyes——
