Two palace maids held lanterns to guide the way, and soon, a pair of plain white brocade shoes appeared in front of Tantai Hanze.
The young man slowly raised his head. The heavy rain blurred his eyes, and he could only vaguely see the figure of a slender woman standing in the warm orange light. There was not much expression on her face, and her eyes were cold but not cold.
"Figured out?"
Her tepid voice was just like her tepid expression.
Tantai Hanze concentrated hard and finally saw the woman in front of him clearly. Facing her scrutinizing eyes, he lowered his head and kowtowed. When his forehead touched the ground, there was a muffled "dong" sound, which was faintly brought out in the rain.
Blood flower.
Tai Shilan, who was kneeling next to him, followed Tantai Hanze's movements and bowed to Ling Xiyue.
The young man lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "You are my brother's best friend, the person he cares about the most, and the only person in the world who cares about and protects my brother. I don't have the guts to see my brother yet, so I would like to pay my respects this time."
You accept it on behalf of your elder brother."
He took a deep breath and said word by word, "I, Tantai Hanze, am guilty."
Ling Xiyue just looked at the embarrassed young man quietly, without saying anything.
Tantai Hanze stood up, with firm brows, and bowed slowly again, "This bow is on behalf of the people of Lanzhou. I would like to thank the Queen for her protection and considerate heart, so that the Lanzhou court will not fall apart and the people will not be displaced.
King of Lanzhou, I would like to thank you."
If it were Mo Qian in Xiling of the Longxiang Dynasty, the mountains and rivers would be shattered by the flames of war, and all vegetation would be destroyed.
The entire Xilan royal family will cease to exist, and will surely fall into a long period of chaos, with the people living in dire straits.
Although the Tianlin Dynasty annexed most of the land of the Xilan Dynasty, it still retained the old system and retained the title of king. The people of Lanzhou did not suffer the slightest pain from the war. Now the world of Lanzhou is stable and prosperous.
When the war started.
It is Tantai Yunlang's wish to entrust the king with the country and the country to continue. This is to complete the change of dynasty power at the minimum cost. No one knows what will happen in the future, but at least for now, Ling Xiyue has done it.
Although Tai Shilan couldn't bear it and was even more worried and anxious, at this moment, she didn't say a word and just stayed with her husband quietly.
He kowtows, and she kowtows too.
He opened his mouth to apologize, and she waited silently.
Ling Xiyue lowered her eyes and looked at Tantai Hanze quietly, then turned her eyes and gave Qiulan beside her a look.
Qiulan nodded and immediately stepped forward to help him up, but he held her down and refused.
Tantai Hanze seemed a little exhausted and shook a little.
The young man covered in mud lay low on the ground, panting for a while, then slowly raised his head, with a pair of clear eyes full of bright red.
The next second, he knelt down again, as devoutly as a believer. He stood up, looked into her eyes, and said loudly, word for word: "This is the last bow. I am sincerely repentant, and I beg the Queen to ignore the past grudges."
, to give guidance to the guilty minister."
"If the Queen is willing to show the way forward, the guilty minister must work hard to bring prosperity to the land of Lanzhou and maintain peace for the people of the area until his death."
Perhaps, this is the only meaning of his still living in this world.
Qiulan's hand that went to help her froze at the boy's side. Looking at his head bent in the rain, she silently retracted her hand and looked at her young lady. Even she, who was always noisy, didn't know at this time
What should I say?
"The Queen, your Majesty sincerely regrets, and I hope that the Queen will give you a chance." Tai Shilan kowtowed, "If the Queen has mercy on you, I am willing to do anything to repay your kindness." xdw8
Tantai Hanze knows that repentance and determination are one thing, but lack of ability is another thing, and it is even more true.
A person's character can change overnight, but his ability cannot. Learning and growth is a very long process. He needs a leader, someone who can guide him.
As a "teacher" and "leader", Ling Xiyue is undoubtedly one of the best in the world.
Although there are still many things that Tantai Hanze needs to learn, half the battle has been won if he is willing to lower his head and ask the right people for advice.
Ling Xiyue looked at Tantai Hanze's stubborn figure and slowly raised her eyes to the northern sky.
Suddenly, she smiled softly.
In that smile, there was emotion, relief, and relief...
Ling Xiyue lowered her head and looked at the pale young man in front of her who was soaked through. "Get up first."
It seemed that he didn't hear Ling Xiyue's response. Tantai Hanze was still kneeling with no intention of moving.
"The person you need to kneel to the most right now is not me, but before you do all these things, you must survive first, and don't fall down after walking a few steps." Ling Xiyue said helplessly, raising her hand to signal the palace maid next to her to surrender.
Help him up.
Tantai Hanze's bright red eyes lit up, his hoarse voice was slightly high, and he confirmed: "Is the Empress agreeing?"
"Who do you think the person I just said you need to kneel to the most right now will be?" Ling Xiyue looked at him with a half-smile but didn't answer directly, but she asked such a question with unclear meaning.
Tantai Hanze lowered his eyes, pursed his pale lips, and thought carefully for a while, "...His Majesty Yanhuang?"
Ling Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly. It is good to be willing to accept lessons with an open mind, but this boy's understanding is indeed more than a little bit behind that of his brother...
However, there are levels of talent, but ambition does not depend on age. With your current state of mind and attitude, as long as you are willing to learn, it is not too late.
It would not be a problem for her, Ling Xiyue, to help create a world overlord, let alone a city defender!
Qiulan muttered in her heart why she was so stupid.
Unable to stand it any longer, Qiulan stretched out her hand to help her, "Get up quickly, the Queen means she has agreed!"
Kneeling down to her young lady is much more useful than kneeling down to the emperor. What is this silly boy talking about? What else do you need to do to kneel down to the emperor?
Although she didn't know who the young lady was talking about, it was definitely not the emperor. The emperor's nod was basically not needed for the young lady's promise, but if the emperor's promise was about the young lady, he still had to ask the young lady.
Only your opinions will do.
"Really?" The young man looked at Qiulan blankly, with a slight blush finally appearing on his solemn cheeks.
Qiulan was really about to cry, so she reassured him, "Of course!"
The young lady is already giving him advice, which means she accepts his "asking for advice". Why are she still lying there stupidly unable to get up? Is she kneeling stupid or something? She wants to kneel through the floor tiles of their Ganquan Palace, but she can't.
!
Tantai Hanze's eyes turned from Qiulan to Ling Xiyue. As he stood up, he said again: "Thank you, Queen."
Due to a long hangover, his body was already weak, and he had been kneeling in the rain for so long. When he breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, but he still tried his best to calm down.
"Thank you so much, Queen!" Taishilan kowtowed and cried with joy.
Ling Xiyue said softly, "Hmm", and before she could say anything else, she watched Tantai Hanze fall straight down!
