"emperor……"
Wanfu trembled at the side, "How about... how about I try again?"
"shut up!"
The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out suddenly and grabbed the beautiful bead.
"Ho!" the emperor exclaimed.
Everyone in the palace was startled, holding their breath and staring at the emperor without blinking.
However, there was no expression of panic on the emperor's face. He exclaimed in surprise, but it was just because of the feel of the beads, which were warm and delicate, slippery to the touch, and even a little warm.
The feeling of the beads being warm under the touch is so wonderful.
Of course, because he didn't see any horrific scenes, he couldn't help but relax his tense nerves and breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the hall was filled with sparkling light!
It's not the silver-white brilliance of the night pearl, but the golden light! The golden light is brilliant, like the midsummer sunshine shining on the lake, the wind ruffles the water surface, and the waves sparkle!
"It's so... so beautiful!" The emperor stared at the golden light in the palace, his eyes widened, "Have you seen it? This golden light! It's brighter than gold!"
Everyone in the hall looked around suspiciously, and then looked at each other... They all saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Where is the golden light? What golden light?
"Dragon! There is a dragon!"
The emperor suddenly jumped up from the throne with excitement, his eyes widened, and the excitement in his eyes was more dazzling than the New Year's fireworks.
"True dragon! Big golden dragon! Hahaha! I am the True Dragon Emperor! So what I see is the golden dragon!"
"Don't you see it? You can't see it?"
"Hahahaha! This is a gift specially given to me! This is God's gift to me! Hahaha!"
The emperor spread his arms and laughed with ecstasy.
Everyone in the palace was quiet... They couldn't see the golden dragon, but they could see how happy the emperor was.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Ma Qiancheng with envy.
Gee, how come he is so lucky to pick up such a treasure?
No wonder he refused to pretend to be Liu Eunuch's hand, and would personally dedicate it to the emperor no matter what!
Wasn't this incredible wealth just poured over his head?
After the emperor was ecstatic, he played with the egg-sized orb in his hand and looked at Ma Qiancheng with satisfaction.
"Ma Qiancheng, Ma Tusi, Ma Aiqing!" The emperor smiled brightly, "You have presented a good treasure! I am very happy! Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Ma Qiancheng put down the sandalwood box and immediately returned to where the ministers should be standing. She knelt down and bowed her head and said, "This treasure is a treasure given to the emperor by God. I am just escorting this treasure to the capital along the way. It’s like this box containing treasures.”
"Wei Chen just did something that every Daye subject should do and can do. Wei Chen doesn't dare to take credit!"
She was frightened and cautious, which made the emperor very satisfied.
"Hahaha, you are a loyal minister." The emperor said, "I am a wise king. Naturally, rewards and punishments are clear. Loyal ministers should be rewarded! Traitors should be punished!"
When the emperor said this, he gave Tao Mingfu a meaningful look.
This is his point!
Tao Mingfu took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty..."
I don’t know why, but after saying this, my mouth felt bitter.
The emperor nodded and smiled, "Tell me, Ma Aiqing, I want to hear your thoughts."
Ma Qiancheng took a deep breath and lowered his face to the ground, "I do have something I want to report to the emperor, but... please ask the emperor to reject others."
"Presumptuous!" Wan Fu scolded.
The emperor waved his hand, "Do you want to report it to me alone?"
"Yes, please ask the emperor for permission."
The emperor shook his head, "There is no precedent for this."
Ma Qiancheng's eyes were anxious... What should I do? Yue'er said that she should beg to be alone and tell the emperor that she was a girl. In order to avoid being exposed by the national master and being passive.
Now that the emperor doesn't agree...should she give up this link?
In fact, she really didn't want to tell the emperor about her daughter's pregnancy.
Ma Qiancheng's mouth was dry and he licked his lips nervously, "I...I have nothing else to ask for."
The emperor lowered his head and looked at the moist and beautiful luminous pearl in his hand.
"Meow~" Shi Miao and Xuemei stood beside him and cupped his hand.
"Haha," the emperor looked at the two cats and said with a smile, "Do you believe him?"
"Meow~" the lion meowed.
Ma Qiancheng's heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out of his throat.
"You all stand down!" The emperor's eyes narrowed, "Yu Wenling comes in."
"Yes..." Wan Fu led the people in the palace and retreated out together with Tao Mingfu.
Yu Wenling entered the hall expressionlessly.
He held the hilt of the sword in his hand and stood beside the emperor, with no human expression on his face.
Ma Qiancheng swallowed hard.
"This is the biggest concession I can make for you, Ma Aiqing, don't push yourself too far!" The emperor smiled half-heartedly, "This is for the sake of Ye Mingzhu and Shi Miao."
Ma Qiancheng took a deep breath... She really didn't expect that one day, she would have to be in love with a cat!
"I beg the Emperor to forgive me for the crime of deceiving the emperor..."
"What?"
The emperor was slightly shocked.
Yu Wenling's sword was unsheathed.
"Weichen is... a woman." Ma Qiancheng said quickly.
Yu Wenling's sword trembled and stopped at her throat.
If she had spoken half a beat slower, or if Yu Wenling's reaction had been half a second slower... she might have had a hole poked in her throat.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and almost threw the orb in his hand.
He waved to Yu Wenling.
Yu Wenling sheathed his sword.
The emperor stood up with interest, held the orb, and walked up to Ma Qiancheng.
Ma Qiancheng knelt there, not daring to move.
"Raise your head and let me see."
Ma Qiancheng slowly raised his head, but his eyes were still lowered.
"No wonder you begged me to withdraw from everyone... But why?" The emperor shook his head in confusion, "Why did you say it? I can't see it at all? Yu Wenling, can you see it?"
Yu Wenling's face was expressionless, "Go back to the emperor, I can't see it."
"Look, neither I nor Yu Wenling can tell. I believe that you can get along with Tusi and survive until today without being exposed... Does this mean that no one can tell that you are a woman?"
"Back to the emperor, what you said is true! The little girl was born with a strong face and a masculine appearance. She was raised as a boy when she was a child, practiced martial arts, and did hard work. Later, she joined the army to replace her late husband... The little girl acted carefully, and she never No one has ever discovered it!”
Ma Qiancheng said sincerely the words she had practiced with Yue'er many times, "But I never dare to deceive the emperor. If the emperor sees it, it is my fault. If the emperor cannot see it, it is even more my fault." .”
The emperor chuckled, "Is your family asking you to avoid the sacrifice?"
Ma Qiancheng looked at the emperor suddenly, her eyes trembling - even her reaction was rehearsed in advance.
She immediately lowered her eyes, "Although Weichen is already married... Weichen is indeed a virgin. Because when Weichen married, her husband was no longer alive. Weichen's current name is after her deceased husband. name."
"The emperor wants me to sacrifice... I will not hesitate to die!"
"Okay, okay..." The emperor sighed, "Such a loyal minister... is the pillar of the imperial court and my confidant!"
The emperor personally helped Ma Qiancheng up and asked, "What is your real name?"
