Zhong Ling and Liu Yan held it in very hard and wanted to laugh, but they couldn't expose Xiao Tian.
I can only endure it forcefully, it is very uncomfortable.
Yama!
"It's unclear whether this King of Hell is an enemy or a friend, but it will be more beneficial to us, Great Yan." At this time, Zhong Yangming, who was next to him, also spoke.
Everyone's eyes turned towards him.
"Whether it is the Black Soul Palace or the Blood Cloud Tower, they have always had inexplicable thoughts about the Great Yan Dynasty in recent years. Although their purpose is unknown, it is certain that they contain malicious intent."
"Now the King of Hell has taken action to destroy the Blood Cloud Tower and kill the old man Poison Marsh of the Black Soul Palace."
"At least in the eyes of outsiders, this strange and powerful King of Hell is inextricably related to the Great Yan Dynasty."
"Throwing a rat-proof weapon will allow the Great Yan Dynasty to have a period of stability."
Zhong Yangming's words made Zi Ruoyan and Zhong Lishuang nod.
After Liu Yan and Zhong Ling were stunned, they also hurriedly agreed.
But the two of them were thinking secretly: "Not only are they inextricably linked, they are simply inseparable."
Thinking of this place, the two of them secretly glanced at Xiao Tian.
At this moment, Xiao Tian was eating vegetables and drinking wine carelessly, very leisurely.
Anyway, Zi Ruoyan has made her attitude clear and will definitely protect herself.
Xiao Tian, lie down completely and enjoy life.
"But Your Majesty, you have returned. Will you go to court the next day?" At this time, Zhong Yangming spoke again and looked at Zi Ruoyan.
Zi Ruoyan glanced at Zhong Yangming and nodded gently: "That's natural."
"Then your Majesty must protect the prince." At this point, Zhong Yangming turned to look at Xiao Tian, "After all, the war in Northern Xinjiang has been decided, and your Majesty has no excuse to delay it any longer."
"According to the rules, Your Majesty must allow the prince to meet the ministers in the court hall that day."
Zi Ruoyan frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhong Yangming: "Your Majesty, when you get married, you have already broken the rules by cutting the knot with a sharp knife."
"You know, there are no rules."
"Great Yan's luck is already unstable. If the rules are broken, it will be bad."
Zi Ruoyan said nothing again, knowing that what Zhong Yangming said made sense.
Xiao Tian, who was tasting the delicious food, also raised his head suddenly: "What do you mean? What does meeting the ministers mean?"
"Prince, when you get married to His Majesty, you are originally going to meet the ministers. In layman's terms, it is to meet your husband's family." Zhong Yangming explained to Xiao Tian, "In fact, it should have been like this. It's just that Your Majesty protects the Prince and doesn't use Northern Xinjiang.
Steady, we don’t talk about private matters in the court, we always shirk things.”
"Now that the war in Northern Xinjiang is over, Your Majesty cannot shirk it."
Xiao Tian was silent for a while, then said: "There will be trouble, right?"
If it was just an ordinary meeting with the ministers, Zhong Yangming would not bring it up at this time.
"Your Majesty, why don't you tell the prince the reason?" Zhong Yangming said this and looked at Zi Ruoyan, asking for her opinion.
Zi Ruoyan said: "I'd better say it myself."
Speaking of this, she turned around and faced Xiao Tian.
Seeing the other party's serious expression, Xiao Tian put down his chopsticks and prepared to listen carefully.
"I didn't say anything before, just because I was worried that you would be unhappy and misunderstood." As soon as she opened her mouth, Zi Ruoyan didn't say anything, but explained, "I want to give myself an explanation for marrying you, rather than simply taking it.
What kind of shield are you using?"
"I hope what I'm going to say next won't make you unhappy."
Xiao Tian's expression also became serious, and he sat upright: "Okay, I understand!"
He was serious because Zi Ruoyan showed him enough respect.
"The Prime Minister of the Great Yan Dynasty, his name is Liu Aotian. When my father was not missing, he was in this position." Zi Ruoyan spoke slowly and introduced to Xiao Tian, "He is also my father-in-law and my teacher."
"..." Xiao Tian didn't say anything, his face trembled.
Liu Aotian?
Is this silly name serious?
However, judging from what Zi Ruoyan said, Liu Aotian has many titles.
"In the first year after my father disappeared, his eldest brother succeeded to the throne, and the barbarian kingdom went south. He led the army to conquer the country himself, and died in the battle in the north."
"The second emperor brother succeeded to the throne, and war broke out in the Black Soul Palace in southern Xinjiang, which affected Great Yan. He went south to quell the chaos and expand the territory, but he died in the final battle."
"After that, with the help of Liu Aotian, I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor."
"I was sixteen years old that year."
Zi Ruoyan spoke in a calm tone and recounted the history of what happened to the Great Yan Dynasty in the past.
It seemed that she had seen it very lightly, but Xiao Tian could hear it.
When talking about her two brothers, Zi Ruoyan's heart beats faster.
No wonder Xiao Tian hasn't heard of any relatives of the emperor, it turns out this is the case.
"Liu Aotian promised that he would return power to me at the age of eighteen, but secretly he formed a clique and private interests, and for a while he had power over the government and the public."
"If I hadn't planned it secretly and had a pretty good talent for cultivation, it would have been very difficult to get back the imperial power from scratch to the seventh level of awakening in two years."
Xiao Tian's brows jumped sharply, the empress is indeed an empress.
In two years, you can directly practice to the seventh level?
What a terrifying talent!
Moreover, Zi Ruoyan said it was easy, but Xiao Tian could imagine that the process of seizing power back would not be easy.
"Liu Aotian is a person who respects rules and is very good at using them."
"In the name of my father-in-law, he told me that my father had negotiated a marriage contract with him, and I wanted to marry his son."
"I delayed it again and again until I accidentally found this summoning talisman in the library and brought you to the Great Yan Dynasty."
"Compared to Liu Aotian, I might as well marry you and end up in the current situation."
When Zi Ruoyan said this, she looked at Xiao Tian: "I broke Liu Aotian's wishful thinking. He will definitely make things difficult for you in the court."
"This is the cause and effect."
Xiao Tian understood clearly and also knew why Zi Ruoyan had to explain in advance before speaking.
As she said, she was not using herself as a shield.
Otherwise, she would have pushed herself out in the court hall in the past, so why would she need to protect herself?
She just chose to marry herself for herself and to get rid of Liu Aotian's shackles.
"I'm a little worried about Liu Aotian. His cultivation is unknown, and I don't know what his secret plans are. But he follows the rules and always stays within the rules."
"Logically, I should abide by the rules, but..."
Speaking of this point, Zi Ruoyan suddenly became domineering again and looked at Xiao Tian: "If you don't want to, I will block it for you."
"If I can't protect you alone, how can I protect the Great Yan that my father and two brothers left behind?"
Xiao Tian said nothing, the empress in his eyes seemed to have changed at this moment.
Opposite is not the Great Yan Empress.
She is just a lonely little girl, gritting her teeth, clinging to the inheritance left by her father, and trying hard to carry the treasures that her two brothers exchanged for their lives.
This is Great Yan!
"No, I'll go!" Xiao Tian shook his head and played with the wine glass in his hand, "Anyway, His Majesty is protecting me. Can Liu Aotian kill me in the court?"
