This is what the emperor means who dares to disobey?

『．

Not to mention Li Yong who was just promoted, even the entire Li family would bow their heads here.

"I can't obey the order," Li Yong's voice was low, with a firm expression on his face. "I have seen General Cui die in siege and exhausted. Hebei Dao soldiers were killed by the Khitans to guard the pass. In order to attack the city and even bind the people, the soldiers on the city wall gritted their teeth and shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands. How serious is life and death?

We cannot stop those, but now... the wife of the Wei minister is about to die in a rumor.

What was she wrong? What unforgivable things have she done? On the contrary, she saved the Wei minister in times of crisis, helped the Wei minister's family escape from difficulties, sought justice for her parents-in-law, took people to cure wounded soldiers, and quelled the plague. No matter what, she had made no mistakes."

Li Yong said this and looked at Xie Xie: "As for the rumors in the capital, I just think she is in a loss. Not only does it hurt her reputation, but it also puts the Ji family at the forefront... and makes her lose the mouths of the treacherous villain."

Xie Xie frowned slightly. He looked over and saw Li Yong's gaze solemn, like a cold star in the sky. Li Yong scolded him openly.

Xie Xie's eyes flashed, his face was calm and his forehead was filled with blue veins. Even if Li Yong walked out of this hall, he would find an opportunity to kill him in the future.

Li Yong took off the official hat on his head and placed it in the hall: "If the ministers do not embark on the official career and become an ordinary gentry, there will be no today's business. Don't say that the ministers will definitely not agree to sacrifice their lives for their own lives. Even if the ministers agree, how will the king and his ministers meet in the future?

Lord Xie was also thinking that even if Li Yong did not die today, he would definitely be killed another day."

Xie Xie's eyes leapt: "General Li's words made Caomin panic, how could Caomin have such an idea?"

"Mr. Xie doesn't have to do this," said Li Yong. "Those who can stand here are deeply grateful to the emperor. How could they be ordinary people? Who among the Wu Dynasty is not talking about Master Xie's expression? Master Xie is so rude. Master Xie is the first person in the Wu Dynasty who enters the palace in regular clothes. He has no official position but can command all officials.

It is not the first time I have fought with Lord Xie. In Pinglu, I personally killed a dead soldier who assassinated General Cui. From then on, I knew that sooner or later I would receive the bell from Lord Xie.”

The emperor looked at Xie Xie coldly: "Pinglu's affairs have something to do with you?"

Xie Xie bowed and said, "Caomin has never sent someone to Pinglu."

"The dead soldier followed Weichen to Taiyuan Prefecture and plotted against Zhujing to blame Weichen. He sent Weichen to the prison for questioning. The Jiang family wanted to get Cui Qing's whereabouts from Weichen."

"Emperor," Xie Xie said, "General Li is smart. He was originally discussing Ji's affairs and now he has moved to Caomin. Caomin was ashamed and said nothing. Fortunately, Ji's family can solve all the puzzles."

"Did Lord Xie talk about the puzzle of the prophecy?" Li Yong said, "Master Jing may really know one or two."

The emperor's eyes suddenly changed.

...

Ji Yanran sat in the carriage, listening to the bustling sounds outside gradually fading away. As soon as she arrived near the capital, everything would become quiet. The towering palace walls and bright red colors were filled with a sense of depression and majesty.

Li Yong should have been on the main hall now, and I don’t know if it’s going well with him. Last night, she vaguely felt someone covering her quilt, and then whispered: “I will protect you wherever you go.”

After waking up, Li Yong had already left, and he didn't know whether it was a dream or a reality.

In fact, the whole thing has nothing to do with Li Yong. Everything is caused by her. It should be ended by her. Whether it is to take revenge or collect debts, those who have long been life-and-death enemies with her.

Madam Dong lifted the curtain and Ji Yanran looked over: "The weather is pretty good."

Madam Dong couldn't help but shook her head: "If you were not by your side, you would never have thought that a woman could be so bold. This was the case when you were a child. The wife was sick, but you tried every means to sneak out and found Master Shikong alone..."

With Madam Dong's story, her memories became clearer these days, and the past scenes returned to her mind.

After getting off the carriage at the palace gate, an eunuch came forward to pick him up and took a little girl to walk towards the inner palace gate.

There were fewer and fewer people around, and there seemed to be a bloody smell in the air.

The sedan chair suddenly stopped, and the palace servants around him retreated silently, and then several people surrounded him.

"Grandma Li San, please come here."

The eunuch stood in front of the sedan chair with a cold face. When Madam Dong and Mother Rong saw this, they immediately protected Ji Yanran.

"It's okay," Ji Yanran said, "When we come here, life and death are no longer allowed."

"It's still the clever grandma Li San," said the eunuch, "It will be easier for you and it will be easier for me. If you understand me, I will make you feel more comfortable."

Ji Yanran walked out of the sedan chair and followed the eunuch forward.

Zhao Mingjing in the corner walked out with his hands behind his back, and the eunuch beside him said, "Prince, it seems that this errand is easy to handle now. As long as you keep an eye on the disposal of Ji, you can go back and report. The emperor will definitely trust you more in the future."

Is it trust?

Zhao Mingjing smiled slightly because the position of the emperor's brother in the East Palace was not guaranteed. His father warned him not to think about it. He personally dealt with Ji's family. In the future, the Lin family and the Li family would not let him go. If he did not come to kill Ji's family, the father would suspect that he had close contacts with the Li family.

"Let's go!" Zhao Mingjing ordered lightly.

The palace is very big. Even if you live here for decades, you may not be able to see these clearly. There is too much dirt behind the glamor.

Ji Yanran gradually understood why Chang Ning would live carefully back then, because this golden and stone road that could be seen can break open at any time and swallow people.

Every time she comes here, she will be glad that her life is so unrestrained.

Entering the cold courtyard, the palace servant immediately moved in and Ji Yanran sat on it.

The eunuch couldn't help but wonder that he had never seen someone so calm and composed when he was in the palace for so long.

"Father-in-law," Ji Yanran looked at the eunuch, "Do I really can't get out of this door?"

The eunuch smiled and said, "Didn't you understand it? But don't worry, I will not let you down."

The eunuch looked back and Zhao Mingjing walked in with the man.

"What is my fault?" Ji Yanran simply refused to stand up and salute.

The girl raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes. Zhao Mingjing's heart trembled. He remembered the old thing. The man also raised his head and murmured, "What is the crime of me?"

No answer.

Ji Yanran sighed: "I don't know which way of death can make people feel more comfortable."

Zhao Mingjing's hand trembled, and the figure in his mind seemed to overlap with Ji Yanran.

She is the closest person he is.

Mother, he took the order to kill his mother himself.
