The Emperor nervously wiped the cold sweat off his face and forced a smile, "Prince Zhongshun, what are you talking about?
The peace talks are a good thing that both Yan and Zhou are looking forward to. Why would I be dissatisfied? "
"If you are not dissatisfied, why would Your Majesty of Dayan make such a big scene today? If This King didn't happen to meet you, I'm afraid that your country's Imperial Tutor's wife would have died. This King doesn't care about how many people your country killed, but you killed the family of the official in charge of the peace talks. This King can't help but think about it. This King is a rough person and can't analyze the twists and turns in this matter. It's inevitable that Your Majesty of Dayan will make a decision. "
Pang Xiao was someone who had seen blood on his hands, so his fierce eyes were naturally different.
The Emperor was used to being flattered and had never seen someone who dared to release killing intent towards him. How could he take it? He was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat and his inner clothes were soaked. His stomach was growling and he faintly felt like he wanted to go to the toilet.
Pang Xiao looked at the Emperor's cowardly appearance with disdain and sneered.
"How dare you!"
Yuchi Yan couldn't take it anymore. He strode forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is just a prince. How dare you be so arrogant in front of our Dayan Emperor! How can an outsider interfere with the matters of our Yan dynasty? "
"Tsk tsk, the Crown Prince is full of pride. You are so aggressive, it seems like it's also your Emperor's idea?"
Pang Xiao crossed his arms and looked down at them condescendingly, "This King is indeed just a prince and can't interfere with your country's methods of killing loyal people. However, This King's Tiger Army is under the command of This King!"
Threat! This was a clear threat!
Yuchi Yan's white face was red with anger. He wanted to argue, but the Emperor slapped him fiercely in the face.
"How dare you! I'm still here, is it your turn to speak? "He turned to Pang Xiao and smiled apologetically," This is all a misunderstanding. Prince Zhongshun, please don't mind it. "
Yuchi Yan covered his face and looked at the Emperor in disbelief. His eyes were full of hurt and anger.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they were filled with righteous indignation and started whispering to each other.
Pang Xiao raised an eyebrow at Yuchi Yan and snorted.
The Emperor saw that Pang Xiao did not say anything. He had already admitted defeat in public, but the other party was still not willing to give him a way out. Then, he heard the buzz of the common people's voices. He felt as if he had been stripped naked and paraded through the streets. He could not help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. However, there was nothing he could do about people like Pang Xiao.
The Empress understood the Emperor's intentions. She smiled charmingly and said, "Prince Zhongshun, you may not know, but what happened today …"
"Get lost! Did This King ask you? And who the hell are you?! "
The Empress widened her eyes in disbelief. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the Emperor with grievance.
The Emperor's expression was already very ugly. He seemed to be explaining, but also reprimanding, "This is my Empress, Lady Cao."
"A hen leads the morning, but only the rope of the family. Is there no man left in your country? You actually make the harem jump up and down! "Pang Xiao said disdainfully.
The Emperor was so angry that his face turned green. However, he pretended not to care because of fear.
Although the onlookers did not like Pang Xiao's arrogant behavior, his words of reprimanding the incapable ruler inexplicably made them feel good.
Pang Xiao said all the things that they wanted to say but did not dare to say. It was really satisfying to see the incapable ruler and the demon empress being angry but not daring to say anything!
The Emperor took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He smiled and said, "Actually, what happened today was a test for Minister Qin and his wife. Minister Qin and the Sun Clan are deeply in love. Now, the Empress and I are very gratified and feel that their love is very touching. It just so happens that Prince Zhongshun is also here and can be my witness."
The Emperor turned around and saw that the Sun Clan was still tied up. He angrily reprimanded, "Hurry up and untie Madam Qin!"
Immediately, someone walked up quickly and removed the rag that was blocking the Sun Clan's mouth. Then, they cut the rope.
Qin Huaiyuan draped his dark gray cloak over the Sun Clan's shoulders. He tidied her hair and sighed.
The Sun Clan stretched her neck and looked behind Pang Xiao. Seeing that Qin Yining was still unconscious, she was so worried that tears flowed down her face. "Master, Sister Yi, she …"
Qin Huaiyuan put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture, indicating for her to speak later.
The Sun Clan nodded and followed Qin Huaiyuan to the Emperor. They knelt down and bowed.
The Emperor said with satisfaction, "Grand Preceptor Qin has done a meritorious deed during the peace talks. You and Madam Qin are deeply in love. Today, Grand Preceptor Qin will be conferred the title of Marquis of Anping, which will be hereditary. Madam Qin will be conferred the title of First-rank Madam of Anping."
"This subject (this subject's wife) thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness." Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan kowtowed together.
The common people also began to discuss.
What exactly was the Emperor trying to do? First, he wanted to kill someone else's wife. Then, he said that he wanted to test their relationship? This was simply bullshit!
Now, he was afraid of power and Little Wang Ye. He was so afraid that he was about to kneel. Then, he hurriedly conferred Qin Huaiyuan the title of Marquis of Anping, which will be hereditary. This sounded like a great favor, but everyone knew that Qin Huaiyuan still didn't have a legitimate son. There were even rumors that Qin Huaiyuan had no hope of having an heir. What hereditary title? Who was he going to give it to? If he really wanted to be praised, he might as well be conferred the title of Duke!
The common people were full of criticism and whispered in low voices.
The Emperor couldn't hear the buzzing discussion clearly, but he also felt that it wasn't anything good.
Today's plan had been completely ruined by this boorish man in front of him. Unfortunately, he was the Emperor, so he couldn't show any dissatisfaction.
The Emperor had a bellyful of anger that had nowhere to vent, but he still had to put on a smile in front of Pang Xiao.
"Prince Zhongshun has arrived. We have already ordered people to set up a banquet …"
Pang Xiao waved his hand and interrupted the Emperor, "There's no hurry. Young Miss Qin fainted because she was worried about her mother's life or death. This King is worried. He will only be in the mood to do other things after seeing her get better. "
The Emperor's face turned purple from choking. He didn't dare to do anything, so he could only nod and laugh dryly, "Of course, of course. Sure enough, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of beautiful women. Haha!"
Pang Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to Old Dog Yuchi. He turned around to check on Qin Yining's situation.
Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun Clan also saluted the Emperor and bid him farewell.
The Emperor gave Qin Huaiyuan a look.
Qin Huaiyuan understood and stepped forward, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"
The Emperor said in a low voice, "If that evil embryo likes her, you know what to do."
Qin Huaiyuan looked at the Emperor in shock and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, this official plotted to kill Zhao Zhongzheng and has a grudge against Prince Zhongshun. He also pestered this official's daughter in every possible way. Who knows what intentions he has! How can this official send my beloved daughter to the hands of my enemy? "
"You want to defy the imperial decree!?" The Emperor heard Qin Huaiyuan's words and dispelled his suspicion of treason.
"This official … does not dare." Qin Huaiyuan saluted.
Only then was the Emperor satisfied. He returned to the carriage with the aggrieved Empress.
Yuchi Yan, who had heard everything clearly, looked at the Emperor's back and then looked at Qin Huaiyuan, whose face was filled with worry. Under the discussion of the common people, she only wished that there was a hole in the ground that she could crawl into.
"Imperial Tutor, this … this official will go back first." Yuchi Yan awkwardly turned around and left.
Qin Huaiyuan waited until the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince had walked far away before he put away his anxious and helpless expression. He stood up straight and calmly stared in the direction of the Emperor's departure.
At this time, the Sun Clan had already run in front of Qin Yining. She held her unconscious daughter in her arms and sobbed, "Sister Yi, don't scare mother. I kept shaking my head at you. I wanted to tell you that they didn't really want to kill me, but they blocked my mouth! Sister Yi, wake up! "
