Chapter 48 Deep love, no fear of death
"Your Majesty, I am guilty! But the truth is not like folklore!" Si Kou Xunxiang knelt down again.
The emperor took a few steps forward and suddenly laughed.
Then he said slowly, "Get up quickly. I don't know who the national teacher is? You are the great hero of my flaming country, and I have already said that there is no need to be polite!"
"Then what did you say about this?" The emperor suddenly became serious again.
The emperor obviously came to question himself this time, how to explain Yan Ji's death and rebirness, and how to explain Yan Ji's child?
If she admitted that Yan Ji was pregnant before marriage, she was a great crime of bullying the king at the beginning, and the marriage was given by the emperor. What happened to the emperor's majesty and face? But if you don't admit it, you will also bully the king!
The emperor must have found out something before he came to ask himself.
Si Kou Xunxiang didn't know how to answer. All he knew was that Yan Ji was sometimes delirious after she was sealed. Yan Ji must have been insulted by others at that time. Otherwise, she would not betray herself and betray their vows with such deep feelings.
Thinking of this, Si Kou Xunxiang felt a dull pain in his heart, only to blame himself for not protecting his beloved Ji'er at the beginning.
In fact, his guilt and worries have not subsided over the years. The moment he saw Ji'er again, he vowed to do his best to love her and protect her in the future, whether she has children or not, no matter what happened to her.
Love is just a word, once there is love, it carries thousands of responsibilities. His love for Ji'er is beyond the understanding of others. It has nothing to do with life and death, or all the disturbances of the outside world. He just loves her deeply until his death.
"Your Majesty, my sins, all this is my fault. Please forgive Ji'er..." Si Kou Xunxiang knew that the most dangerous thing now is his Ji'er, and he saved her anyway.
When the emperor heard this, he understood that nine out of ten rumors from the outside world were correct.
"Your Majesty, Ji'er was sick at the beginning, and her mind and consciousness were not clear. It was my minister. I have loved Ji'er for a long time. When I learned that she was married by the emperor, my heart was in great pain. When I saw her, I couldn't accept myself, so I made a big mistake! It's not that she didn't seduce me like the outside world, but that I was confused for a moment and made such a mistake!"
Si Kou Xunxiang knew that he could only save her by blaming all these charges on himself. That's all he could do for her. If the emperor executed him, he would not complain.
The emperor was furious when he heard this, picked up the teacup on the table and fell to the ground.
"Presumptuous... Do you dare to move when I give you a married woman? What else do you dare not do with such boldness?" At this time, the blue veins on the emperor's forehead were also slightly raised.
What he hates most is the loss of authority. The most important thing for governing the country and the world is to be able to convince the public and make everyone in the world awe and support him. He can never allow such a thing to happen.
More importantly, although this national teacher and his family have made a lot of achievements for the Flaming Kingdom and are respected by the people, this is also one of his worries. Although the national teacher has always been loyal, how can he be unprepared and ignore it?
"Your Majesty, I know my mistake, I know my mistake, but my feelings for Ji'er are not false at all! Just beg the emperor to forgive Ji'er. She is indeed innocent!" Si Kou Xunxiang only took all the mistakes on himself, hoping that Ji'er would be fine.
"You only care about your own feelings. When have you considered my feelings and majesty? National teacher... I have always respected you very much. I know that you have done a lot to the people and loyal to me, but I never expected you to do such an atroverted thing!" The emperor frowned coldly and was obviously extremely disappointed with Si Kou Xunxiang.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to die to apologize, but I just hope that the emperor can forgive Ji'er..." Si Kou Xunxiang knew that there was no way out now, and there was no other way to save Ji'er.
The emperor suddenly sneered and looked disdainful.
"Humph... Do you know what will happen if it is spreading in the capital at this time? Can you recover it when you die?"
Hearing this, Si Kou Xunxiang was suddenly stunned. This matter did not seem to be so simple.
"How can the old marquis give up? What would he think if he knew that the woman I married to Baixuan was such a miserable person and that such a shameful thing happened and was still spreading all over the capital? Only then did the emperor say his most important concerns.
Si Kou Xunxiang became clear in an instant.
Yes, this is the final problem.
Although the old marquis has now withdrawn from the officialdom, his son inherits his father's business and his nearly 100,000 elite soldiers and soldiers follow him. How can the power be ignored? Although the old marquis was afraid that his power would affect the emperor's power and had dominated important generals out of the remote areas, how could there be a few people who vowed to follow him with the name and majesty of the old marquis?
Seeing Si Kou Xunxiang's thoughtful appearance, the emperor knew that he had understood his worries.
With a wink, the eunuch next to him walked to Si Kou Xunxiang.
"I gave this pot of wine to Miss Yanji. If she can drink it, the source of this rumor will be gone, and everything can be broken without attack..."
The emperor's expression is very indifferent, and there is no emotion.
Si Kou Xunxiang shook his head, but he shook his head, "Your Majesty, Ji'er is already so pitiful. The old marquis has always been loyal. The world is all he and the emperor. I will not blame the emperor for such a trivial matter... I would like to die on Ji'er's behalf!"
"How can you be so good or evil... Pull it down... Pull it down and close it in the dark room..."
The emperor's color changed so much that he couldn't stand it anymore, and finally scolded him angrily.
He never thought that Si Kou Xunxiang would fight against him like this for a woman. No one could be so disrespectful to himself, and he could never allow anyone to do this to himself!
"Your Majesty, please forgive Ji'er, she is innocent...Your Majesty..."
When Si Kou Xunxiang was pulled away, he was still very worried. He knew that the emperor was now locked himself in the dark room, but it was just a delaying plan. He would definitely take action against Ji'er when he came down. He should hide Ji'er when he left!
Luan Yuchun hurriedly came to the imperial study. He heard the rumors of the capital and just heard that the emperor had called the national teacher into the palace, but then he was imprisoned in the dark room of the palace.
He was very anxious. He knew that if the emperor knew about this matter, he would definitely be furious. The most important thing was that Yan Ji must be the most dangerous one. Now even the national teacher can't protect himself. This matter is obviously very serious.
"Chun'er, what's the matter with you coming here today?" The emperor had a burst of doubts.
Luan Yuchun saw that there was still anger in the emperor's face, and knew that he could not plead directly now. At least he had to wait for him to feel a little better.
"Father, I heard that my father has been in a bad mood recently, and my son came to play chess with my father to relieve boredom..." Luan Yuchun answered very respectfully and politely.
The emperor was still very upset, but when he saw the sixth prince he had just recognized such filial piety, he also had some comfort in his heart.
I didn't expect that this child, whom I haven't seen for 20 years, took the initiative to come and have a relationship with me. Of course, I'm in a good mood. Blood is thicker than water. Although I have only been born and haven't raised, my family affection is still there. He and the child have just recognized, but they are still a little raw and don't know each other very well. It's rare for him to have this intention. Of course, he appreciates it.
The two began to play chess. Luan Yuchun has been outside for so many years, but he has read a lot of sages. Of course, he is also good at chess skills.
The two won't win or lose the first game of chess.
The emperor was very happy to see that his sixth prince was so powerful.
"It's worthy of being my son, and he didn't let me down..." The emperor brushed his beard and couldn't help laughing.
After four chess games, the emperor and Luan Yuchun tied two games.
The emperor's mood is naturally self-evident.
"Okay, Chun'er, that's all for today. It seems that it's not easy for me to win you. I must play chess with you another day. None of these princes can beat me. It seems that Chun'er has great potential!"
Luan Yuchun thought for a moment, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"Father, in fact, many people are afraid of winning you when they play chess with you. You are the emperor, and they are afraid that you will lose face and get angry. But I don't know so much from the people. I only know that you are father and son. Since you are father and son, why do you deliberately let you win? If I win, it also proves that I inherited your demeanor of my father, and the blue out of blue is better than blue, and the father's face is even more light..."
Luan Yuchun knew that the emperor had been used to listening to good words in the palace for so many years, and he certainly did not have much affection for those who flattered him. Of course, many people also tried their best to make the emperor happy, but the emperor was not confused.
"Haha... It's really my son, and the analysis is well-founded! Those people lie all day long, and no one and I sincerely play chess. Since it is chess, of course, there must be a difference between victory and defeat. Since it is played, it is natural to lose. I like your frankness!"
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Luan Yuchun knew that it was time.
"Father, do you remember the girl Yan Qingxia who investigated the case for her mother?" Luan Yuchun seemed to ask inadvertently that everything was so natural.
That day, Yanji solved the case and made contributions in the palace, and no one must have known it. What's more, she still explained the truth in front of the emperor. How could the emperor forget the beautiful and smart woman?
"Oh... Of course I remember that Miss Yan was different, and I really appreciated it at that time!"
The emperor thought that Luan Yuchun took advantage of his happy opportunity to talk about the banquet Qingxia. It seemed that he might have taken a fancy to her and asked him to give him a marriage.
However, his sixth prince is both talented and beautiful, and he is also a good match for the banquet girl.
Luan Yuchun suddenly got up and knelt on his knees.
"Father, I beg you for one thing!"
