He forcefully endured the pain all over his body, as if his entire body was no longer his own. He was in pain, in pain, in torment. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled slowly. Once again, he was in control of his marriage.
"Your majesty, what happened to you?"
The empress poured a cup of tea for Zuo Ruyi and casually asked her. Zuo Ruyi seemed a little weird today. Zuo Ruyi pulled the empress's hand and sat down. "Empress, Zhen hit someone today."
"Who is it?"
"The second son of Prime Minister Yao."
She had heard about Yao Yihang's unwillingness to marry the princess of Qitian Kingdom, but she hadn't thought that things would get out of hand. She didn't think that Zuo Lianyi's words would make her feel so uneasy.
Naturally, she could understand that Zuo Ran wanted to maintain the country's stability and oppose the idea of war. However, if the Qi Tian country really thought the Qiankun was a good place to bully, then it would be a huge mistake. Ye Zichen looked towards Zuo Rongyi and said softly.
"Your majesty, chenqie actually doesn't approve of accepting an intimidating marriage for the sake of the princess of the Qitian Kingdom. You should be merciful towards Prime Minister Yao's son, don't ruin this old subject's heart."
"Empress, I know that the Qi Tian country has ill intentions, but I absolutely cannot give them a just and proper reason to invade my country. If war cannot be avoided, I will naturally be the teacher of justice and give them a taste of strength." The reason why I feel uneasy is because of the solution proposed by Yao Yifan. "
Zuo Ran's large hands wrapped around the empress's small hands. She had always been considerate towards the empress, and she doted on her endlessly. She was a king that could be cold at any time, but yet she was filled with tenderness in front of this empress.
The empress withdrew her hand from Zuo Liyi's palm, stood up and walked to her back, her soft fingers lightly pinching Zuo Lianyi's shoulder. She smiled mischievously, "Just what method could make my emperor so indecisive?"
"Heh heh, you always make people feel warm inside. But this time, I wasn't indecisive. I was a tyrant. I gave Yao Yifan 50 lashes."
"What?" Fifty lashes, even if he doesn't die, half of his life will be lost, your majesty! "
The empress stopped her actions in shock and turned around to look at the benevolent Zuo Rao who had always governed the world. She didn't understand why she would do this. Why would Yao Yifan think of such a method? Zuo Lianyi had expected the empress to be surprised. She smiled helplessly and pulled the empress into her embrace. "Back then, Zhen was quite surprised when he heard Yao Yifan's words."
More than an hour ago.
Seeing that Zuo Rise was hesitating, Yao Yi decided that this was an opportunity. He immediately kneeled down and suggested a plan.
"Your Majesty, this subject has a plan that can be used. This one does not need to be on friendly terms, nor does this person need to worry about the Qi Tian Kingdom finding excuses to act upon it. This commoner's plan was to suffer through torture! This commoner was extremely disrespectful to the Emperor, and even went as far as to offend the Emperor. The Emperor was infuriated, and issued an order to punish this commoner severely. "
Zuo Lianyi turned around and stared fixedly at Yao Yifan. Her eyebrows slightly raised in surprise and curiosity as she asked, "What do you mean by that? You can get up and talk. "
As long as His Majesty is furious and punishing this subject, and this subject insists on not marrying, then the mistake will not be made by the emperor. The princess of Qitian Kingdom originally did not like this subject because she did not want to marry her, and if this subject does not give face, it is natural that she would feel bored. In order to prevent this subject from finding another person, the emperor can pretend to be this subject of marriage and change the person to be someone who is disrespectful to the heaven. My big brother and father will definitely not sit idly by. When they beg for mercy, the emperor can also show mercy and give half of the punishment. If this subject wants to deceive others, this subject will also ask the emperor to send this subject to the pressure of the clan's residence. "
"This is not a small matter. Let me think carefully."
"Your majesty, this humble subject will endure it. In ancient times, there was a saying, Zhou Yu was willing to beat the crap out of everyone, and this subject was willing to do so. This subject doesn't need to be worried about the Emperor, if we drag this out, we will give the Qi Tian Kingdom time to do so, after the punishment, this subject will be able to avoid all the Heavenly Kingdom envoys, and if the timing is feasible, the Emperor can directly send people to send the Sky country's envoys to leave our Qiankun Kingdom."
Seeing that Yao Yihang was determined to go through with this, he couldn't come up with a better idea. Zuo Liuyi patted Yao Yihang on the shoulder, then turned around and stood with her hands behind her back, "Men, drag this despicable man who has no status as king down and pay him a heavy penalty of a hundred lashes."
"Thank you, your majesty!"
With a smile as gentle as spring, Yao Yifan quietly turned around and followed the guards who rushed in.
Zuo Lianyi embraced the empress, praising Yao Yifan as he spoke. He also expressed his helplessness in making Yao Yifan suffer through physical pain.
"This is what happened. Does the empress think that Zhen was right or wrong?"
He clasped his hands together, self-reproach filling his eyes. Although he was the Ninth Paragon, there were still many things he couldn't do as he pleased. He was just an ordinary person and needed the affirmation of others.
The empress was very moved by Yao Yihang's actions. She exhaled and raised her head, looking confidently at Zuo Rongyi, revealing a gentle smile that was enough to turn the tables around.
"Your Majesty, this is not wrong, it is wrong. For the sake of saving the world's people from suffering, even if we have to sacrifice some people, it is still essential. Your Majesty, as long as you have a clear conscience, it is fine." However, even though the second young master was willing, it was truly touching. This concubine thinks that the clan's prison is dark and damp, and that the second young master is injured. This concubine thinks that it would be better to send an imperial physician secretly to take a look. "
"The empress's heart is indeed as meticulous as the dust. However, I have already told people to take a look." Come with me to take a look at our precious royal son! "
As he spoke, he took the empress's hand, and the gentle words were like a spring breeze that caressed her heart. The empress smiled and gently rested her head against his chest. "Mm, your son should wake up by now!"
He dotingly patted her head and said, "Let's go, Zhen isn't willing to let Your Highness wake up and not see us, the empress. Let's go quickly!"
The empress obediently nodded her head and whispered a few words in his ear shyly. She then followed Zuo Rongyi's hand and walked towards the side chamber.
"Daddy!" We should think of a way to visit Second Brother in the Sect's Mansion! "
"Let's go."
Prime Minister Yao pulled Yao ShiChang and turned to head towards the clan's residence. At this time, they bumped into Leng Feng, who just happened to walk out of the clan's residence. When Leng Feng saw the two of them, he hurriedly bowed, "This official greets Prime Minister Yao and Mister Yao."
Yao ShiChang was at a loss of what to do, but a chance of happiness appeared on his face. He quickly walked over to catch the cold wind and said, "It's good enough for Leng Feng to see you. I want to go to the prison to see my second brother. I don't know if you are willing to help."
Leng Feng glanced at Yao ShiChang and said coldly, "His Majesty has ordered that no one is to go visit him. Prime Minister, it's best if you go back, don't make things difficult for this official."
Hearing this, Prime Minister Yao's face turned increasingly ugly. He couldn't help but want to kneel down to Leng Feng, but it was Yao Shichang who quickly supported Prime Minister Yao and whispered into his ear, "Father, this isn't the place to talk."
