The old emperor patted Baili Xixi's hand, "It's all my father's fault. My father failed to protect your safety. My father sent someone immediately..."
"Father, no need." Baili Xixi shook her head weakly, "My son is fine."
"Princess, you are too naive. The person behind the assassin did not succeed last night, and there will definitely be another time." Yiduo covered her mouth and cried: "I don't know which vicious person actually wanted to take the princess's life...
…”
Ji Yushi said: "Princess, have those assassins ever said who sent them?"
Baili Xixi shook her head, "The four assassins in that group were very tight-lipped and didn't say a word."
Ji Yushi said: "Then hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment for torture..."
"They are already dead." Baili Xixi said calmly.
Ji Yushi added: "Then you can also hand over the body to the Ministry of Punishment. You can definitely find out something..."
"Your Majesty, the assassin's body has been dragged to the mountains to be fed to wolves." Dongfang Lengxie, dressed in black brocade clothes and holding a long sword, walked in from outside.
The appearance of Dongfang Lengxie shocked everyone, but he actually had a pair of red eyes.
With a sword flower in his arm, Dongfang Lengxie stuck the sword on the ground. He knelt down on one knee to the old emperor without any psychological barriers, "I have met the emperor."
"Who are you? Why has no one informed you?" Wang Quan asked the old emperor.
Baili Xixi said softly: "Father, this man's surname is Dongfang. He was abandoned by his parents because he was born with a pair of red eyes. He has been wandering in the northwest. Due to the famine in the northwest, he was hungry, tired and contracted bad diseases.
Last year I walked with the refugees from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River, and this year I came to the imperial capital. If it hadn't been for him last night, my father might not have been able to see his son."
After Baili Xixi finished speaking, she began to sob softly.
Dongfang Lengxie said: "If it hadn't been for Princess Dongrong's porridge and medicine, I would have starved to death on the streets like those refugees. I will repay the princess's life-saving grace with all my strength. If the princess does not dislike her, Dongfang is willing to protect her.
"
King Xirong frowned and said: "How dare you, a commoner like you, dare to call me 'I' in front of my father."
"He saved your emperor's wife, how can he be an ordinary commoner?" The old emperor didn't like what King Xirong said.
King Nanrong asked suspiciously: "The emperor's sister-in-law just said that four people assassinated her. Brother Dongfang was one against four. I think he is very good at it. How did he end up in the situation of a refugee?"
Dongfang Lengxie said coldly: "Your Majesty lives in the palace, so how do you know the hardships outside. Even though I am capable and can get food, I am surrounded by hungry, emaciated children..."
Baili Xixi said: "Dongfang is a good person. Otherwise, he would not be burdened by hunger and disease, and his life is on the line."
The old emperor said: "You are also a good person. He was able to save you not because you saved him first."
"It wasn't my son who saved him." Baili Xixi said with a smile: "The money that my son gave out for porridge and medicine was all diverted by the tax bureau. In the final analysis, it was my father who saved him. Father, people do things, and God
As we watch, one hundred thousand refugees have set up longevity tablets and bowed to them day and night, all thanking our father for his grace."
After hearing what Baili Xixi said, the old emperor paused.
The Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau and the Taxation Bureau have a large amount of gold and silver flowing into the treasury every day. The old emperor knew that the money for refugee relief was taken from here. This morning, he originally wanted Baili Xixi to reduce this expenditure.
Now that Baili Xixi said this, I gave up this idea again.
