The slaves behind him who were responsible for blocking him all knelt on the ground.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, my servant can't stop the princess!"
Li Dan waved his hand: "Go, go, go out, it's none of your business."
As if they had escaped from death, everyone left with a lot of gratitude.
Taiping glanced at a few people, and although he was anxious, he still saluted.
"Taiping has met His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Master."
When Wu Meiniang saw Taiping coming, she asked calmly: "You came just in time. Mom didn't know what to wear to the celebration just now. Why don't you choose one for me?"
"I'll go...mother, do you still have a choice?" Li Dan simply stopped.
"Mother, it's been an hour... How long have all the civil and military officials outside been waiting?"
Wu Meiniang said calmly: "What happened to the minister waiting for the king for some time?"
At this time, Yuan Tiangang suddenly said: "It depends on which gentleman is waiting."
Wu Meiniang seemed to have just remembered that there was Yuan Tiangang beside Li Dan, and said calmly: "Now that we are not in court, this is all a family matter. Does the national master also have to take care of the family matter?"
Li Dan quickly said: "Okay, okay, do you still have to let me invite the Imperial Master back?"
"Master Imperial Master, he might be busy with other things. Don't ask him to come back just because you are not compatible with this matter."
Li Dan was speechless. He was very happy to have Yuan Tiangang by his side. He was also happy to have his mother by his side to teach him how to govern the country.
But when the two people came together, he could feel that they were about to fight in the next moment.
He didn't know how powerful his mother was, but Yuan Tiangang was a master. He listened to himself, but he was not sure whether the other party would disobey him.
Yuan Tiangang remained silent when he heard this, and Wu Meiniang didn't say anything either.
Li Dan quickly looked at Princess Taiping: "Taiping, can you quickly choose one for your mother?"
Taiping was originally here to plead for the prince-in-law, so how could he care about choosing?
But in front of the three of them, she couldn't refuse, so she pointed at a piece of clothing and said, "My daughter thinks this is a good one."
Wu Meiniang glanced at the pink pomegranate skirt and said with a smile: "I am already a very old woman, why are you wearing such a bright dress to show to those men?"
Princess Taiping pointed to another one casually: "Then this one is good."
Wu Meiniang looked at the gray and blue-striped skirt and shook her head.
Taiping glanced at Yuan Tiangang and Li Dan, biting his lips. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, and said in an urgent voice: "Mother, please stop playing riddles in front of them. Why is your daughter here? Don't you know?" ?"
After the words fell, Princess Taiping knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Taiping, I beg you two to consider our relationship, be accommodating to me, and forgive the sin of the consort. Even if I am demoted to a commoner, I cannot be sent to be a slave!"
Just when Li Dan was about to speak, Wu Meiniang said one step ahead: "So you are here for this matter. Unfortunately, you are late. Xue Shao and others were taken away last night."
"What!? You guys!!!"
Princess Taiping stood up angrily, then felt her vision go dark and fell down.
Li Dan quickly stepped forward to help: "Sister? What's wrong with you?"
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but show a look of concern on her face at this time.
"Come here, take the princess back to rest."
A group of maids came over and helped Princess Taiping leave.
Li Dan suddenly looked at Wu Meiniang and asked: "Mom, when did Xue Shao and the others were taken away, why didn't I know? How did you lie to her?"
Wu Meiniang said lightly: "I ordered people to take them away last night. Dan'er, you have to remember that the Li Tang clan is fine, but don't forget that they are treason, which is a major crime against the nine tribes. Let them return To live is to forgive.”
"If you are not ruthless, where is the majesty of the royal family? How will you intimidate the officials and subjects below in the future?"
"If you continue to act like this and the ministers Li Shu are not afraid of the royal power, how can the foreign countries outside be afraid?"
Yuan Tiangang remained silent, and he had to admit that Wu Meiniang's approach was right.
Wu Meiniang wanted to say something else, but Yuan Tiangang suddenly interrupted: "Why don't your Majesty and the Queen Mother rush to the celebration banquet first and discuss the matter later."
Wu Meiniang was slightly startled. She didn't know why Yuan Tiangang suddenly urged him, but she knew it immediately.
Because not far away, Princess Taiping suddenly shouted angrily!
"I see!!"
"It turns out it was all you! It was you!!!"
Princess Taiping pushed the maid away and walked back with heavy steps, pointing at Wu Meiniang with disgust on her brows.
"You yourself want to demote Xue Shao into a slave, just because you didn't like him at the beginning, right!?"
Having said this, Princess Taiping laughed at herself: "No wonder, no wonder you are willing to see me today."
"No wonder Shangguan Wan'er suddenly came out to guide me here. This is clearly what you ordered her to do!"
"If Xue Shao and the others hadn't been taken away, I wouldn't be able to see you today, and you wouldn't let me see you, right!?"
As a son or a minister, you must not be disrespectful. Pointing at the Queen Mother and yelling at the Queen Mother like Princess Taiping has already violated etiquette and can even be punished now.
But Li Dan obviously didn't stop him or didn't know how to stop him, while Yuan Tiangang seemed not to hear it and remained calm and composed.
The servants, maids, and eunuchs on the side were all dumbfounded. No one dared to reach out to stop them. Even Gao Lishi, who came after him, glanced at a few people and chose to remain silent after seeing Yuan Tiangang not saying a word.
But Gao Lishi was indeed an old man who had been in court for decades. Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly winked at the people around him.
The palace maids, servants, and eunuchs all understood this and knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. They quickly dragged the trays and followed Gao Lishi out.
Seeing everyone leaving, Princess Taiping went even further: "Speak! Where did Xue Shao offend you? Why did you insist on letting him die!?"
The caring look on Wu Meiniang's face suddenly disappeared, and she said with a serious face: "The Xue family and Li Zhen conspired to conspire. This is the crime of punishing the Nine Clan, and they should be executed!"
"I didn't order your execution because of your face. I just demoted you to a slave. This is already extrajudicial mercy!"
"Be merciful? If you are really merciful, why can't he dissipate his family wealth and return to the common people like those Li Tang clan? They are slaves?"
Wu Meiniang wanted to say that Li Yunxiao was the one who caused the obstruction, and those people deserved to die!
But the words came to her lips but she couldn't say them, because speaking from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to say everything to others. In the final analysis, it was her own lack of ability.
If it weren't for Li Yunxiao, she would definitely be like this! You can even establish your authority in the world and ascend the throne as emperor after killing those Li Tang clan members!
Li Dan sighed and stepped forward to comfort him: "Taiping, how about you go back first, and then I will send someone to take care of Xue Shao and prevent him from suffering too much?"
Princess Taiping wanted to reach out and open Li Dan, but as soon as she raised her hand halfway, she was knocked around by a force of energy and fell to the ground.
Taiping glared at Yuan Tiangang who was wearing a mask. He knew without thinking that behind the mask, there must be a pair of cold eyes!
