Huarong's sudden arrival made the men in black even more afraid to act rashly. They weren't sure how skilled Huarong and the other two were. After all, they couldn't be simple if they could appear here without a sound.
"You can go. They want my life, but they won't make things difficult for you." The old emperor sighed.
He was about to die, but he still had the time to care about Huarong. No wonder he was the emperor. Normal people didn't have this kind of breadth of mind.
Even though he was just a conservative emperor and not a wise ruler, Huarong decided to save Huarong just by letting him go.
She swaggered to the emperor's side. Zhu Liu and Shuxiu stood by her side, making it five against two.
She took out a small bottle and handed it to Wu Chenglu. "The divine doctor from Qilin Mountain gave it to me."
Wu Chenglu didn't dare to delay. He poured out the pill and smelled it. He seemed to have seen this medicine before. His face lit up as he fed it to the old emperor.
Hua Rong Guo saw that the two men in black had an extraordinary aura. Then, he looked around at the fallen Yu Lin Army on the ground. The wounds on these Yu Lin Army were all fatal. They were clean and neat. He concluded that the two men in black were the masters of one against ten. Zhu Liu was not their match.
"Your Majesty, does dying for you count as sacrificing one's life for the country?" she suddenly asked.
The old emperor was stunned. "Miss Gu, why do you have to do this?"
"Your Majesty, just tell me if it counts or not." Huarong made it clear that she wasn't going to leave.
Wu Chenglu had no choice but to answer for the old emperor. "Of course it counts."
"Your Majesty, remember to confer me the title of a martyr." Huarong appeared very serious, but the moment she said this, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. The old emperor laughed and nodded weakly.
The old Emperor nodded, and Hua Rong stepped forward. "Two … heroes, how should I address you? Don't we all need to exchange names before fighting? "
The men in black didn't answer. Huarong continued, "My surname is Gu. I like people to call me cute little sister."
The men in black were speechless. Could it be that she was an idiot?
"Don't listen to her nonsense. She's just stalling for time!" One of the black-clothed men said.
"Hey, that's not right." Huarong immediately raised his hand to stop the man in black who was about to rush over. "I just happened to pass by. How could there be reinforcements? Two heroes, before I die, can I write a will? I have parents and children to take care of … "
As she spoke, she began to cry. Her heart was broken, and she was extremely miserable. She spoke of her attachment to the world of mortals, as well as her fear of death.
"Cut the crap! Dog Emperor's life … "
Before he could finish, Huarong immediately shouted, "Wait a minute!"
The man in black shouldn't have stopped, but for some reason, he stopped. It was as if Huarong's every word had a magical power, an innate bewitching power.
"Hero, may I know what enmity you have with the Emperor? He insisted on killing the Emperor to vent his anger. "
"The dog emperor is muddleheaded and incompetent. Everyone has the right to kill him!" The man in black finally spoke normally.
Huarong was stunned. With a blank expression, he said, "Muddleheaded and incompetent? No, I think the Emperor is very wise and powerful. How is he muddleheaded? You've never been an Emperor, and you don't know what it's like to be an Emperor. How can you say that the Emperor is muddleheaded and incompetent? As the saying goes, a person is not a fish. How can you know if a fish is muddleheaded? "
The man in black was speechless. How can a person not be a fish be used in this way?
"The Prince Of Qi plotted a rebellion. The dog emperor killed all the officials in the southwest without any reason. How is this not muddleheaded?" The man in black said angrily.
Huarong was speechless. He turned to look at the old Emperor in surprise, but he saw the old Emperor lowering his head. It was obvious that the old Emperor also felt that he had gone too far. However, the words of an Emperor were not to be taken back.
Soon, she turned back and smiled coldly. "If the Prince Of Qi succeeds, those officials, as the local officials in his territory, will definitely rise to the top. In my opinion, even if those people are not his accomplices, they must know about it! Not reporting it is also a heinous crime. How can you say that they are innocent? Is it fair to the Emperor to do this? Even if you want to assassinate someone, you should assassinate the Prince Of Qi. "
"Besides, the Prince of Qi is still being held captive in the Prince of Qi's estate. Even the Second Prince of the Li Rong Empire is still alive. His Majesty is so kind and benevolent, aren't you black-hearted and heartless enough to accuse him of willfully killing the innocent?"
"Don't try to be glib!" The man in black was angry. He pointed his sword at Huarong. Zhu Liu immediately stood in front of Huarong.
Huarong pushed Zhu Liu to a position where he could help the old Emperor block the arrow. She cleared her throat and planned to use her big move — — the Art of Deception.
No, it should be using reason and emotion to move people.
"You see, the Prince of Qi has rebelled, implicating all the officials of the southwest. As the sovereign of the Nine and Five, if the sovereign wants his subjects to die, his subjects must die. How could you vent your resentment on the Emperor? Isn't it the Prince Of Qi who started it all? "
"Look again, the Emperor has never slacked off for the sake of the world. His hair is already white. We are born to be human. We should know how to respect the old, love the young, be loyal to the Emperor, and love the country. Look at you, you don't even have the basic qualities."
The man in black was speechless. Preposterous logic.
"Since the Emperor ascended the throne, has there been any great injustice? No, right? Has there been any waste of money to build a magnificent palace? No, right? Has there been any cruel officials to collect heavy taxes? Or no, right? "
"The entire Yue Clan is a great injustice!" The man in black said angrily.
Huarong didn't know much about the Yue Clan, but even if the Yue Clan was wronged today, it was not the time to clear their name.
She looked back at the old Emperor and saw that he was furious. He seemed to hate the Yue Clan very much. This … was strange.
"So you are clearing the Yue Clan's name?" Huarong asked.
"Hmph, the heavens are clear. The dog Emperor killed the meritorious officials. Everyone in the world knows about it!"
Huarong wanted to nod. That was true. The Yue Clan's death wasn't serious enough to be executed. The evidence was also vague. The Emperor had lost a lot of people's support because of this.
However, she couldn't nod now. She said loudly, "Yue Chongyang has served the people for decades. He has helped the Emperor with his hard work. If he didn't commit a great crime, why would the Emperor kill him? Even if he committed a great crime and got himself killed, the Emperor still didn't want to reveal his real crime. It's obvious that the Emperor is thinking about the reputation of the Lord Yue. The Emperor will take all the bad reputation and leave the good reputation to the Lord Yue. The Emperor's heart is as broad as the sky and the sea! "
These words were just polite words to fool people. However, the Emperor burst into tears when he heard them. "Miss Gu, I didn't misjudge you. You understand me."
Huarong was shocked. Your Majesty, don't say that. I'm only 16. You're already over 60. It's not appropriate!
The Emperor seemed to see that Huarong was frightened. He shook his head. "What are you thinking about? Do you think I'm such a muddle-headed person? "
Huarong immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. Your Majesty is wise and mighty. This humble girl was too narrow-minded."
As soon as she finished speaking, the people that Zhao Han-chul had arranged in the dark finally appeared. A few people flew out from the lush Bodhi tree and surrounded the black-clothed people.
"Heroes, the first rule of an assassin is to remember not to talk too much." She then realized that she had talked too much. She added, "Good people live by talking too much."
Perhaps it was because the words about Yue Chongyang had touched the Emperor deeply. After the Imperial Physician treated the Emperor's injuries, he summoned Huarong.
The bright room was clean and tidy. Sitting in it calmed one's heart.
"This humble girl greets the Emperor." Huarong kowtowed according to the rules.
"Get up and sit." The Emperor was very gentle. He always had a kind smile on his face. Compared to when they first met, the Emperor in front of her seemed more like a kind old man.
Huarong wasn't afraid. She sat down on the couch as instructed. "Your Majesty, your injuries?"
