With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Meng Guiren pulled it out on the ground and soon lost his breath.
The emperor was stunned and collapsed on the ground.
At this time, Wu Min said loudly: "Meng Gui has brought trouble to the imperial court and deceived the emperor's heart. He should be punished for his crime. Your Majesty is wise, and you must cut it off when necessary. He ordered the prince to kill Meng Gui. This scourge has surpassed the emperor's order and stabilized the country. All the ministers praise him!"
"You! You traitor!" The emperor pointed at Yan Mu, anger bursting out of his eyes, "How dare you kill my concubine, how dare you..."
"Father, please look at her again." Yan Mu knelt down and said in a voice that only the father and son could hear: "She is a craftsman of the Southern Jin Dynasty. You have been deceived by her."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"I have evidence. A secret letter she sent to Nan Jin was intercepted by me."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "It's just a letter, so you conclude that she is a craftsman?"
"It's just a letter. Didn't you also copy and kill nearly a hundred people in the Yan family?"
"you!"
"Father, is this dragon chair really comfortable to sit on?"
Remember URL
The emperor's face darkened, "Are you planning to rebel?"
"My son, I didn't say publicly that Meng Guiren was a craftsman from the Southern Jin Dynasty, just to save face for you. Otherwise, the king of a country would be fascinated by a craftsman. Where would your face be? Where would Da Rong's face be? And the minister Are we still willing to be loyal to such a...faint king?"
"presumptuous!"
"Father, no matter how comfortable this dragon chair is, I will not compete with you." Yan Mu helped the emperor and let him sit on the dragon chair. "If you find your way back, this high position will still be yours. The great prosperity is still in your hands."
After saying that, Yan Mu waved for the Imperial Guards to come up and take Meng Guiren's body away. Then he walked down the long dragon steps and still stood in his seat.
"Your Majesty, peace talks with the Southern Jin Dynasty are absolutely impossible, right?" Wu Min continued to say earnestly.
The emperor's hands were trembling. He watched the dream noble man being lifted up, then closed his eyes and said: "Da Rong, the envoy of the Southern Jin Dynasty, came first. After I nodded, he went to Beijin and Xiyue separately. I think the two countries have already arrived. Got the news.”
Wu Min swayed. The meaning behind these words was that Beijin and Xiyue knew that Da Rong had betrayed their trust, so the alliance could not be negotiated. And even if you send someone to explain at the moment, it is useless, because if the Northern Jin Dynasty and Xiyue Dynasty are smarter, they have already agreed to the Southern Jin Dynasty to go to Ling'an City for peace talks.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance became the Four Kingdoms Peace Talks.
Da Rong went from being able to stand up in one fight to being at the mercy of others.
The emperor still didn't feel that his decision was wrong, but now that his mind was too confused and he had just lost Meng Guiren, he didn't want to talk any more, so he waved his hand and left. But when he left, he took a deep look at Yan Mu, and that look contained endless killing intent.
After coming down from the court, Wu Min chased Yan Mu out.
"Your Highness, if you kill Mr. Meng, the Emperor will not let you go."
"Master Wu, thank you for your cooperation just now."
"It should be so, but you have to be more careful in the future."
Yan Mu smiled and said, "Master Wu, don't worry about me, I know it well. It's just that I have made all my ministers feel wronged today, and I still need you to comfort me."
"I understand."
Back at the palace, Yan Mu told Liu Yunxiang that he killed Meng Guiren in court.
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "I knew you would take action sooner or later."
"The Emperor completely distrusts me."
"Before, we had to hide our capabilities and bide our time. We needed his trust to turn over in the mud, but now we don't need to." The emperor lost the hearts of his subjects, and Yan Mu won them. This was the turning point.
Another day, the emperor did not go to court, but Yan Mu got the news and summoned the fourth prince.
On this day, Aunt Zhang brought Zhu Yifan and his parents to the house to propose marriage. The betrothal gift was very generous, which showed how much the Zhu family valued it.
Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to lead them into the main hall of the east courtyard, and then she came out with Jinyan.
Several people came forward to salute, Liu Yunxiang nodded and asked them to sit down.
She first took a look at Zhu Yifan, who was worthy of being the leader of the caravan. He was tall and mighty, and he looked like a Lian Jiazi at first glance, but his facial features were rough and weathered.
But when the tall man saw Jin Yan again, he blushed.
The Zhu family's parents knew that they were ordinary peasants by looking at their clothes. They had dark faces and looked honest and honest. When he saw Liu Yunxiang, he hid nervously and did not dare to look up.
Aunt Zhang introduced Liu Yunxiang with a smile, and then whispered: "The parents of the Zhu family said they couldn't believe that their stupid son could marry someone like the Crown Princess. They thought I was a liar until I came to the house. In front of the door, the two of them believed it, and then they were so panicked that they wanted to run away."
Liu Yunxiang smiled and said: "Although Jinyan is my maid, we grew up together and are like sisters. I originally wanted to find a door for her right in front of me, but Aunt Zhang was full of words. After praising Zhu Tou, I agreed and asked them to look at each other. Unexpectedly, the two of them were interested in each other. In this case, I can only let him go."
Zhu's parents opened and closed their mouths, obviously wanting to say something, but they were too nervous to say anything.
At this time, Zhu Yifan stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and promised Liu Yunxiang: "If I marry Miss Jinyan, I will protect her for the rest of my life and never let her suffer any injustice. If one day Miss Jinyan comes to cry in front of you, , the villain will sacrifice his life to make amends!”
Jin Yan said angrily: "Quickly, stop talking nonsense!"
"Everything I said is true!"
"I believe you, and the girl will naturally believe you too." Jin Yan said with a blush.
Liu Yunxiang gave Jin Yan a funny look, then looked at Zhu Yifan and said, "This is indeed what I should say. If Jin Yan believes in you, I will also believe in you. I hope you will live up to her sincerity and treat her well."
"The villain will definitely do it!"
"Get up quickly."
Liu Yunxiang called Zhu's parents to him again and gave them a few words. The Zhu family's parents just nodded and didn't say a complete sentence in the end.
The wedding was decided in advance, so there was no rush for the wedding date, because Liu Yunxiang still couldn't do without Jin Yan, and Zhu Yifan had to arrange things in the caravan to free up time. Liu Yunxiang discussed with the Zhu family and decided to set the date after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"By the way, Zhu Bantou, where are you going to take goods next?" Liu Yunxiang asked before leaving.
Zhu Yifan said: "Brother Qi asked us to transport it to the north of the town."
"Zhenbei?" Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, "That's just right. Do me a favor."
After seeing off Zhu Yifan and his party, Liu Yunxiang asked Jin Yan to pack her and her three children's things.
"Your Highness and I may go to Ling'an. The situation in the court is changing. I don't feel comfortable leaving you in Shengjing. You take your wet nurse and three children to disguise yourself, and then go to Zhenbei with Zhu Yifan's caravan. , waiting for us in Yangui City."
Jinyan didn't know what was going on in the court, but she did whatever the girl asked her to do.
"Don't worry, girl, I will take good care of the three children."
Liu Yunxiang patted Jin Yan on the shoulder, "You know, the girl can rest assured when she leaves the three of them to you. When we get to Yangui City, we will hold a wedding with you and Zhu Yifan."
Jin Yan blushed again, "I'm in no hurry, slave."
"You're not in a hurry, but I'm afraid Zhu Bangtou won't be in a hurry."
