The emperor's lack of expression was not as simple as imagination, but a deep and heartfelt fear.
Who is not afraid of the wrath of thunder?
If the Holy Emperor really gets serious, the consequences will be disastrous.
Empress Su knew the risks involved, so as soon as she heard the news, she tried to find the emperor to plead for her son.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she inquired, she could not find out where His Majesty was at the moment.
In the end, she had no choice but to do the next best thing and rush to personally protect the attic where her son was confined to prevent an accident.
In addition to the panic of the Queen, there was also one person who was very confused, that is, Mrs. Yin Tao after hearing the news.
At this juncture, Huang Fei's dog nose played a vital role in detection. He took advantage of the chaos and quickly sniffed out the outline of the matter.
"Xiao'er...how can he be so ridiculous?"
"Tell me, what can we do?"
"well……"
What made Yin Tao anxious was that he was sweating heavily and his face was flushed. For a moment, he had no idea.
After a long time, she finally regained her former composure.
"No, I have to go to the palace quickly to see His Majesty so that I can excuse Xiao'er's recklessness. Relying on the honor of my husband and brother, the Emperor will most likely grant him a lenient pardon."
"Madam, there is something wrong with this move!"
As soon as Yin Tao finished speaking, Huang Fei expressed his clear rejection.
On normal days, Lao Huang rarely made key statements, but today, he made his voice without hesitation.
"Improper? Why?"
"Madam may not know that when I was still the prince, I accompanied him as a personal guard for a period of time. Therefore, I still have some knowledge of his temperament. Based on my personal judgment, he is in a state of uncertainty at the moment. When making a decision, don't use things to provoke each other. If his stubborn temper is used up, not only will things not be accomplished, but it will be counterproductive."
Yin Tao once heard her brother say that when the emperor had a bad temper, he would often glare at and argue with his ministers, displaying a tough attitude that would not give up until the goal was achieved.
It can also be seen that taking the Qi and Yin families to put pressure on him may not necessarily solve the problem.
However, if I don’t come forward, who else can speak?
There is no choice!
At this moment, Huang Fei suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Madam, don't worry, Huang is willing to come forward and make arrangements to settle this matter as much as possible."
"You?" Yin Tao was startled at first, then shook her head and said: "Master Huang's courage is commendable, but he is not suitable. With your current capital, it is not enough to influence the emperor's thinking."
It means that your portion is not heavy enough!
Although these words don't sound nice, they are very sincere.
Huang Fei smiled nonchalantly and said, "Madam, please don't worry. Huang has his own way of doing things when he meets you this time. Even if he fails to make things happen, he will not drag down the Qi and Yin families."
Yin Tao straightened up and asked, "Master Huang, why do you insist on doing this?"
"As the saying goes, if you receive a favor from someone, you should repay it with a spring!" Huang Fei sighed softly and continued: "A certain person's real estate and assets in Qiongzhou are all gifts from Mr. Qi. He treats me so generously. I How can we not think about repayment? This time, let Huang do what he can for the Qi family."
Yin Tao was in awe after hearing this and praised: "Your Excellency is so kind and righteous, thank you very much for being here, Mrs. Qi Yin."
"You're welcome, madam!"
"..."
Night, third watch.
Huang Fei tidied up his appearance briefly and then formally entered the palace to see the driver.
Report first, then wait.
This is the rule.
Originally, the emperor planned not to see anyone.
However, when he heard that it was Huang Fei who was asking for an audience, he immediately made the call.
The purpose is not complicated, just want to ask about the real situation of Qiongzhou face to face.
"My lord, I have met His Majesty!"
"Well, get up!"
After finishing the ceremony, Huang Fei stood aside with his hands tied, and made a gesture of listening humbly.
The emperor also looked at him up and down, and made tut-tsk sounds from time to time.
"As expected, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black."
"People can indeed change due to the environment..."
Where does this come from?
Regarding the emperor's meaningless words, Huang Fei looked confused and had no idea why.
After laughing for a while, the Holy Emperor said with a smile: "I think back then, when you traveled with me, you were full of awe-inspiring righteousness, but now, after following Qi Yu, you are filled with a sense of righteousness. A strong evil spirit. If it’s not red when you’re close to vermilion, and black when you’re close to ink, then what is it?”
The general meaning is that you were led astray by Qi Aiqing...
Well, that makes sense!
Huang Fei actually nodded in approval.
After the opening remarks, the emperor directly asked him why he had not come to Beijing to report on his work in recent years.
Alas, aren't you asking knowingly?
really!
Huang Fei was afraid because he had witnessed the emperor's brother-killing process, which was the violent death of King Yongchuan.
People on Chang Hun Dao understand one truth, that is, only dead people can keep secrets.
If this was used as a trade-off, how could he dare to wander around the capital?
You can think the truth in your heart, but you cannot say it out of your mouth.
Therefore, Huang Fei very cleverly found a reason for himself to be "forgetful" as a reply to the emperor.
What? forgetful?
This... is a double entendre!
However, it is very comfortable to listen to.
The emperor laughed with satisfaction, and then with a wave of his hand, the matter was completely over.
Seeing this, Huang Fei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time wiped the cold sweat from his palms.
"You are here today. What do you want to report?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, I have two things to report!"
"Oh? What two things are they?"
"Let me describe them one by one!"
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately straightened his sitting posture and made a gesture of listening to the report.
Huang Fei, on the other hand, shook his head and began to talk.
"The first thing is to give a general report on Qiongzhou's military strength!"
"Oh? I am very concerned about this, tell me quickly!"
"yes!"
Huang Fei seemed to be neutral and began to introduce: "Qiongzhou's military development is particularly rapid. It can be said that it is changing with each passing day. The accumulation over the past few years has reached a quite terrifying level."
The emperor suddenly interrupted him and said: "How does this military compare with our Donghai Navy?"
Huang Fei replied: "It can be done several times!"
Several times?
The emperor's body trembled when he heard this, and the fierce light in his eyes suddenly appeared.
However, Huang Fei suddenly changed his voice and said: "However, Qiongzhou is no longer as brave as it used to be. Its glory has become history in the past."
Why is this?
The emperor was startled, with a look of confusion on his face.
