Glancing at his two sons whose faces changed greatly, Emperor Zong straightened his face and said, "This matter is not a trivial matter. If anyone dares to say another word, don't blame me for punishing him! If you don't back down!"
The two people, who were familiar with Emperor Zong's temper, looked up at him and then glared at the envoys in the palace. They suppressed their protests and stepped aside. First, this matter involved a war between two countries. Under the siege of a large army, any
There can be no mistakes in every step. Secondly, the reason why my father agreed to this matter was not all for Qisa's consideration. The existence of the dragon girl has already constituted a threat to him. Emperor Yizong's narrow-minded nature, he vowed to do it
Take action. There is an honest opportunity before you.
It was inconvenient for them to say anything in front of the envoy. The consequences would be disastrous if both countries attacked at the same time.
Except for her previous surprise, Mai Mai has slowly returned to her usual calm state. How could she not guess the Emperor Zong's plan? If he wanted her to marry to the Yanbei Kingdom, he could not only get rid of himself as a potential threat, but also
If the immediate crisis can be solved, why not do it? Let alone the cunning Emperor Zong, even she would do this.
However, before doing anything, you must first see the target clearly. She is a dragon girl, but she is also Mai Mai. Do you want her to become a victim to save his country? She can send out this kindness. However, she must also get back the corresponding reward.
cost.
"Dragon Girl, for the Qisa Dynasty and the safety of the people, as Dragon Girl, you won't disagree, right?"
Emperor Zong's scheming actually made the ministers present frown. They also knew that this was the only way out at present, but, but, what Yanbei Kingdom wanted was their amiable and respectable dragon girl. The one who prayed for rain for them, for
The dragon girl they went on an expedition! They were really reluctant to marry such a fairy-like person to the Yanbei Kingdom.
Struggle flashed across everyone's faces, but they couldn't think of any good ideas. Look at the two kings in front who had competed to marry the Dragon Girl. They didn't dare to speak. It was better for them to stay silent and live in peace.
"Xuanyun certainly has nothing to say for the Qisa Dynasty," Mai Mai was calm and composed, and her unruffled momentum in the face of danger was worthy of applause from everyone present. She smiled suddenly and raised her deep pool-like eyes, "But
, Xuanyun wants to find out, does this count as the Emperor asking for something from me?"
Seeing the gloomy look on Emperor Zong's face, everyone sweated for her. In front of the emperor, they asked him if he wanted something from him. With such courage, no one except this one could defeat 130,000 enemy troops in three days.
There are no other dragon girls in the world today.
"Dragon Girl, please make it clear that you are doing this for the people of Qisa and all the people in the world, not for me alone." Emperor Zong hated the woman in front of him so much that he gritted his teeth. He dared to ask him like this in front of all the ministers. It was obvious that he was
He didn't take the emperor seriously. But he couldn't help but admire her free and easy calmness, and his hatred inevitably brought out a third part of fear.
"Your Majesty, the hat you gave me is very big." Mai Mai calmly stared at the Emperor sitting in his seat, as if it penetrated people's hearts.
Me?" She threw the burden that Emperor Zong had thrown at her to him easily. Everyone would say something high-sounding. Since he said it beautifully, she had to accept it gracefully.
Emperor Zong, who was speechless for a moment, stared at Mai Mai with sullen eyes. It seemed that she was deliberately trying to make him embarrassed in front of these ministers.
Liu Kangnao looked at the future princess-to-be with interest. Before coming to Qisa, he had never understood why his master, who was about to become a god, mobilized an army of 500,000 people, and just for the sake of
Marry a woman. Now, he seems to understand a little bit. It is difficult to find another woman like this in the world. If she dares to challenge the emperor, her momentum is enough to be worthy of his master.
Wan Qiqing kept her eyes on Mai Mai, her hands clasped tightly unconsciously. What did she want to do? If her father admitted that he wanted something from her, would she really agree to marry to Yanbei Kingdom?
He has never felt so powerless as at this moment. Wan Qizhao's evil eyes were slightly closed. Faced with the situation in front of him, he really didn't know how to resolve it. If he wanted to retreat, he would have to give up his beloved woman. But if not
Let, the armies of the two countries, which have been eyeing them for a long time, will definitely not give them any chance to breathe.
He will not forget that he is the future emperor of the Qisa Dynasty.
Holding back the tumbling in his chest, Emperor Zong's face turned purple. Not to mention that he had never been questioned like this before, he had never been disrespected even by a little bit. Today is a good day, good things come in pairs!
"Your Majesty, Xuanyun is waiting for your answer."
She is not a fool. Judging from the current situation, she will not be allowed to refuse when she marries Yanbei Kingdom. If the emperor is pressed, he will kill her without hesitation. Now, she has not avenged him, and it will be easier to die now.
The man on the throne of dragon!
Yanbei Kingdom?
Wouldn't it be better for another powerful country close to Qisa to use their military strength to destroy Qisa and Tiandu?
"Okay!" Emperor Zong responded in a deep voice, "If it can make the Dragon Girl happy, why don't I beg you on behalf of Qisa?" Such a righteous and awe-inspiring hero indeed has a certain heroic spirit of being able to bend and stretch.
Mai Mai smiled and shook her head, "Your Majesty, anyone can do what they say. The word 'please' can be solved with just a slight movement of lips. Xuanyun doesn't show any sincerity at all, for the sake of Qi Sa's sincerity!
"
Wan Qifan, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help but stand up for his father and said angrily, "Dragon Girl! What do you want? Are you deliberately making things difficult for the Emperor!"
"Dragon girl, just let it go." Wan Qijing's clear face was also a little angry, and even the person who had always been secretive showed his emotions. At first glance, he looked like a filial son protecting his father.
Mai Mai glanced at the two of them, "Xuanyun just wants to understand that although this world is supported by the people, its surname is Wanqi after all. As a dragon girl, Xuanyun serves the people. She agreed to marry Yan Beiguo.
, the people were saved from the disaster of war, but what about the Wanqi family? They must continue to sit firmly in Jiangcheng and rule the world. No matter whether it is a transaction or a condition, there will be no loss at all. For such a happy outcome, shouldn't the emperor beg me?
Or are you willing to let the people suffer just to take care of your own face?"
The words go straight to the point. Although it is something that everyone knows well, no one dares to say it without hesitation! The world belongs to the people, but it also belongs to your Wanqi family. In public and private matters, do whatever you want.
It is not an exaggeration to ask for help for the emperor, the highest authority in this family.
Liu Kang, who was watching the show for a while, was so excited that he almost screamed in the hall, "Serving the country and the people selflessly, it's all bullshit! If you agree to my conditions, I will withdraw my troops. I've made it clear that I will bully you! And this guy
Dragon Girl, is he right? Do you want her to get married? Then lower your profile and don’t use the concern for the country and the people as a cover!
"You! You are simply doing the following, just because you are a dragon girl..."
Wan Qifan's accusation was stopped by Emperor Zong's low shout.
"Boss, don't be arrogant with the Dragon Girl!" Emperor Zong raised his eyes and stared at the woman in white clothes, who looked leisurely but showed determination.
"Whatever Dragon Girl wants, just say it!" She only had this one chance to threaten him, as long as he married her to Yan Bei Kingdom, let's see what else she could do!
Mai Mai looked at the emperor and said word by word, "I want the emperor to kneel to me for the sake of the people!"
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Zong was furious and stood up, "Lan Xuanyun, you are too presumptuous!"
Everyone in the palace, one by one, was all dumbfounded and stunned on the spot. They knew that the dragon girl was very strong, and they also knew that she was very powerful. But, she wanted the emperor to kneel down before her?! Are they right?
Everyone has to wonder, does the Dragon Girl want to die? Is she taking the opportunity to anger the emperor, seek death, and save herself from marrying to the Yanbei Kingdom?
"Xuanyun?" Wan Qizhao's eyes widened in disbelief. She actually made such a request? Wasn't this forcing her father to punish her?
Wan Qiqing tightly focused on every subtle change on her face. After seeing her persistence, he completely understood and understood everything.
The reason why she went to the battlefield, the reason why she agreed to marry Wan Qizhao, and now, the reason why she has no objection to marrying to Yanbei Kingdom. There is only one reason, she already knows everything.
Father Huang was the murderer of Qing'er, and at the same time, he also indirectly killed his seventh brother.
"Yes," Mai Mai bowed, neither humble nor overbearing, "Xuanyun is too presumptuous to ask the emperor to punish him." She was betting on his greed.
"Here comes! General Longnu..." Before the Emperor Zong gave his order, Liu Kang said, "Your Majesty, our monarch is still waiting for Liu Kang to come back and reply. Do you agree to our conditions or not?"
"Our country's 500,000-strong army has also slept for a day. It's time to stretch out their muscles and bones." He is joking. Can he let them hurt his future mistress? Let the master know that he must be skinned alive.
"You..." Emperor Zong was so angry that he almost lost control. He stood up and took two steps angrily. He paused, glanced at Mai Mai, whose expression remained unchanged, and walked back and forth two more times.
Finally, he put his hands down and stood still, glaring angrily, "Dragon Girl, don't you think this request is too much? You want me to kneel down to you? You are using this opportunity to threaten! Don't think that if the situation is urgent, I will do this.
fulfill your wish!"
"The emperor cares so much about his status as the emperor that even if the people will be displaced and their homes will be destroyed, he will still be indifferent and disdain to kneel down. Why should Xuanyun make sacrifices for the emperor's people? After all, Xuanyun is still
As a half-Buddhist, you don’t care about these worldly things!”
Not only did she want him to kneel down, she also wanted him to apologize!
"You?!" Emperor Zong pointed at her with trembling fingers, his chest heaving violently, but he couldn't refute a word.
He is the emperor and has a distinguished status. But he also has the responsibility and obligation to protect his people and kneel down for his people. This is understandable. Damn it, this woman obviously wants to embarrass him.
A thought flashed through his mind, which immediately made half of his anger disappear. Could it be that she... knew that he ordered Qing'er to be killed? If so, then it makes perfect sense for her to do so.
He stared at her inquiringly. Mai Mai was not afraid and raised his eyebrows, which seemed to help him confirm his suspicion.
"Your Majesty, what do you think? Do you want to punish Xuanyun or kneel down to Xuanyun?" Her bet continued.
"Father," Wan Qiqing took a step forward, "Kneel down and petition for the people. There has been a precedent since ancient times. If you can give up your dignity for the sake of the people, doing so will only make the people respect and love your father more."
Whatever she wants, he will help her!
"Your Majesty, what King Qing said is absolutely true. He is petitioning for the people. It will only become a good story and add to the Emperor's eternal hegemony."
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Girl serves the country and the people, and she is also the incarnation of a fairy. Kneeling to her is like kneeling to a god. I think there is nothing wrong with that."
"Your Majesty, this kneeling is for the common people. Please think again, Your Majesty!"
Ministers always jump out and say nice words when things become clear and one-sided, and they are all just and official. However, it is impossible to find fault with them.
The Emperor Zong in the palace was so filled with hatred that he would shrink out of sight when he needed them. What better time to use the world and the people to oppress him? What's damning is, he still talks about the world and the people.
of!
"Your Majesty Qisa, have you decided to marry the dragon girl to our king?" Liu Kang interfered again as if it wasn't lively enough.
"That's all!" Emperor Zong flicked his long sleeves and turned around, "For the sake of enlightening the people, I will kneel down to you!" These words almost seemed to be bitten out from between the teeth. It was so painful to hear it in my ears.
One can't help but shudder.
Mai Mai smiled resolutely and gave a serious salute, "Xuanyun is scared."
Everyone really wanted to criticize this dragon girl. They kept saying "fear" and dared to ask the emperor to kneel to her? The most amazing woman today must be her.
At Maimai's request, Emperor Zong came outside the palace and knelt down to her, facing north. At the same time, she also ordered Ashang to bring two things, like wooden plaques, covered with red cloth.
Live. Can't see the contents inside.
Emperor Zong's face was ugly, his eyes were sinister, and he looked like he was swallowing his anger. Several kings and ministers were standing behind him. If the emperor wanted to kneel down, why should they stand? Is there any way?
, I can only kneel with the emperor.
Mai Mai held the things in her arms, turned her back to the north, and stood firmly in front of the Emperor Zong. I wonder if it was a coincidence, but the north was the direction of Nian Xi Palace. Mai Mai looked at the real murderer of Qing'er in front of her,
His clear eyes were so cold that there was no trace of warmth.
Emperor Zong took a deep breath, lifted up the hem of his dragon robe, and knelt down on the soft cushion. The king and ministers behind him also knelt down helplessly. Even if it was embarrassing, the emperor could not be humiliated alone!
Looking at the crowd of people kneeling in darkness, Mai Mai couldn't feel any excitement, but instead grabbed the things in her hands.
Have you seen this? This sanctimonious emperor is kneeling down to apologize to you...
As if sensing her call, a breeze suddenly came from all around, soft and warm, like a lover's hand caressing her scarred heart.
The wind lifted a corner of the red cloth...
Unintentionally glancing at the contents inside, Emperor Zong's face suddenly turned pale, and he suddenly raised his head and stared at the cold Mai Mai.
She, she already knew?!
There are two tablets with two names engraved on them, "Lan Yuqing" and "Wanqi Hao".
