After saying that, the old general walked out the door. Ying immediately stopped him and said: "Old general, you must not do it."
"Why not?" Zhan Yan said angrily, "Indeed, the emperor is the king and heaven; the Zhan family is ministers and sons. But even if Xiang'er is a humble person, she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, veteran minister.
If you don’t believe it, the Holy One can just let the traitor fall into the dragon’s womb and just sit back and watch!”
Ying shook his head slightly and said as calmly as possible: "The young lady... has an idea in her heart."
Zhan Yan hurriedly asked: "What's your idea?"
Ying Qi didn't answer, but took out a glass bottle from his sleeve, unscrewed the cork, pulled out a note, and showed it to Zhan Yan.
Zhan Yan read word by word, and the note gradually burned, and his face became more solemn. When the note was finally burned, the general who had experienced hundreds of battles could not help but tremble his lips.
Ying Qi didn't say much, but quietly knelt down on one knee, waiting for Zhan Yan's reply.
After a long while, Zhan Yan found his voice: "...If this is discovered, it will be treacherous."
Ying Qi was silent for a moment, and then said: "But the young lady said that this is the best way."
Zhan Meixiang has arranged for Lan'er to go to Meiyan Pavilion and gradually withdraw all business and funds in Dongfang Country; if Zhan Yan agrees, then Zhan Meixiang's overall plan can be implemented.
Shadow waited silently. As a Shadow Guard, after setting out his interests, all he should do was wait.
It wasn't until the incense bell in the hall rang again and the copper beads rolled down that his thoughts were interrupted. Zhan Yan closed his eyes and rubbed his white temples.
"That's all, just do what Xiang'er said."
Ying Qi paused for a moment, then clasped his fists.
"yes."
At the same time, outside the palace.
The door of an inn room was closed, and the atmosphere inside was a bit tense.
Three rhythmic knocks on the door rang outside. Zhongke inside the house seemed to have already known who it was. He opened the door with confidence. It seemed that the person came and said respectfully: "Master, you are here."
The man outside the door was dressed in black and wore a black gauze hat to cover his face so that he couldn't see his face clearly. He just gave a haughty hum and walked in.
After entering, the man in black looked around at the people in the room and asked Zhong: "Are they all here?"
Zhong replied respectfully: "Master, they are all here."
The man nodded, sat down at the table, and slowly took off the veil on his head, revealing his handsome face.
After everyone in the room saw the man's face, they all took a breath unconsciously. They did not expect that the person who captured them and locked them up here was actually the current emperor - Dongfang Che.
"See you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor." The people in the room came to their senses after being shocked. After all, there are differences between monarch and minister, and they immediately participated in the ceremony of monarch and minister.
Dongfang Che watched them kneeling on the ground and was not in a hurry to let them get up. He picked up the tea cup and drank the tea carefully.
The surroundings became somewhat silent. People on the ground did not know what the emperor was thinking and did not dare to speak randomly.
Suddenly, Dongfang Che placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table and said in a stern and sharp tone: "Do you really hope that I will live longer, or have you already wanted to take my life?"
The people on the ground were all shocked by what the emperor said. It was not clear how much the emperor knew, or if he was just trying to trick them. He replied with a trembling voice: "You are scared!"
