As soon as the concubine finished speaking, the emperor's face immediately showed a look of pride. When he looked at Mei Ziqing and Lu Waner, his eyes were no longer embarrassed, but showed a hint of calculating pride.
"Mei Ziqing, Lu Waner, listen, you two are plotting rebellion. It is a capital crime to punish the Nine Clan. I have pity on you two. There are elders and younger ones, and the lives of more than ten members of your family are at stake.
Come on, I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds..."
Mei Ziqing and Lu Waner just looked at each other, then looked at the emperor again, waiting for him to finish his words.
"I want you to assassinate the Ming Emperor..." The emperor's face showed a proud look, "Since I have made a decree that Wan'er marry to the Ming Dynasty, you have no joke. Since the decree has been made, I will never take it back.
You should resolve the family matters yourself. Kill the king of Ming Dynasty and the man who wants to marry Wan'er, and all problems will be solved."
"Kill the king of the Ming Dynasty?" Danqing sneered and said sarcastically: "Why don't you let my elder brother take over the country of the Ming Dynasty for you?"
Fortunately, the emperor was thick-skinned and didn't care about Danqing's sarcasm. He just looked at Mei Ziqing and said, "It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. As for the result..."
The result... What is there to say about the result? He could kill the emperor very quickly, but in the end, it could not be faster than the emperor's order. As long as he gave an order, those dozens of shining knives would kill his relatives... maybe,
To them, he is not important, but to him, they are close relatives, each one of them... No matter who is affected by this... he will have uneasy conscience for the rest of his life.
Mei Ziqing looked at his relatives. His father only looked at him angrily. His mother's eyes were full of sadness, perhaps because she blamed him. Why did she bring them such a disaster when she came back...
He looked at his two younger brothers again. The second brother's eyes were clear, as if telling him that no matter what his brother decided, he would support him... As for the third brother... what he saw was resentment...
…
Silently scanning all the relatives, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Lu Wan'er. After a while, his arms fiercely held her tightly in his arms.
