Chapter 193 Change It Sooner
System: [Because Captain Zhao Xin was a virgin before getting married.]
People who eat melons: ???
The corners of Captain Zhao Xin's mouth twitched slightly.
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? But Cheng Weining was also a virgin before he married the second princess.]
System: [Yes. But in the melon, his marriage was not smooth, and they were... "immoral" during their marriage. Novels like this with problems in world views will definitely be reported and removed from the shelves. Do you think they can become the male and female protagonists? What luck can they have? ]
People who eat melons: ???
Although I don’t know what taking the product off the shelves means, I can guess what it means.
Such a simple thing would be removed? Are people in later generations so conservative?
Yuan Ruan laughed so hard that he burped: [No problem! Hahaha, Tong'er, you made me suddenly understand. Especially since Captain Zhao Xin was exiled and married a slave, he should be thirty years old. He has remained a virgin for so many years. Ordinary people definitely can't keep their virginity. This is indeed very similar to the setting in a novel.]
Captain Zhao Xin looked a little embarrassed.
All the civil and military officials in the court sighed silently: I really can't do it.
At this time, a certain official whispered: "Why not let your son come?"
The eyes of several court officials suddenly lit up. That's right! A dead son is better than a dead father. You can let your son do what you can't do.
System: [Yes! And he has so many fashionable elements. The wife he married, if he changes the routine, wouldn’t it be a top-notch substitute abuse story, which can be dragged back and forth for dozens of chapters. And this one who returned to the top from a slave must be slapped in the face. And Ah Ruan, not only was he a virgin before marriage, he also didn’t have any peach blossoms after marriage. With so many elemental buffs stacked, he really looks like the male protagonist. ]
Yuan Ruan: [Yes. But his official position after he became famous was a bit low. If he could become the only general in the entire Xia Kingdom. Well, this identity would be very male-dominated.]
The Minister of War, General Zhaowu and other first-rank generals folded their arms and looked at Captain Zhaoxin.
Captain Zhao Xin's pupils trembled: ...
System: [That’s right. Even the male protagonists who are rescued in farming novels are mostly princes. He didn’t even make it to the sixth rank. Hey, Ah Ruan, it suddenly occurred to me that he still has a chance to be the male protagonist. For example, if his wife is kidnapped, he will turn evil and then usurp the throne! Ha, he has this identity too.]
Yuan Ruan: [Hahahaha... Tong'er, you must have read so many bloody and sad stories. This makes sense.]
The Emperor and the Crown Prince: ...
Captain Zhao Xin knelt down immediately, tears in his eyes, and said, "Imperial Master, you want me to die."
The court officials almost laughed themselves into a rage: "Little Imperial Master, do you remember that besides being the Imperial Master, you are also the princess appointed by the current emperor? The throne has been usurped. What will you do?"
Yuanruan just treated it as a joke, ate the melon, laughed, and then forgot about it after he was done laughing.
Little did they know that the ministers in the court were no longer focused on the quarrel. The two sides had changed from fighting with weapons to fighting with dances, and they all seemed to be thinking about something.
After the court session, the prince left with Yuan Ruan in his arms.
The emperor left behind Captain Zhaoxin and a group of important officials.
The emperor looked at Captain Zhaoxin in silence.
Captain Zhao Xin knelt down properly, then kowtowed to the floor in silence.
Only when his forehead was bleeding did the emperor gently say, "Stop."
Captain Zhao Xin immediately knelt straight and said humbly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was silent for a while, then looked at Prime Minister Wang and said, "My dear, what do you think about this?"
Prime Minister Li glanced at the emperor in surprise, and the court officials also exchanged glances with each other.
Of the two prime ministers, Prime Minister Wang's approach to affairs was relatively mild and conservative, and he was more likely to go against the radical emperor.
Therefore, even though the emperor knew clearly that Captain Zhaoxin was guilty, his first words were to let the conservative Prime Minister Wang speak, which clearly showed that he was going to treat the case leniently.
Prime Minister Wang understood and bowed, "Your Majesty. I think the big case from a few years ago has been settled. We can hold individuals accountable, but there is no need to stir up too much trouble."
The emperor looked at the other courtiers again.
What every court official said was similar to what Prime Minister Wang said, that is, if we are to arrest someone, we should arrest the person who hid the fugitive, and the others don't have to be enslaved, just have their property confiscated.
The emperor looked at Captain Zhao Xin again and asked, "What do you think?"
Captain Zhao Xin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have a different opinion."
Prime Minister Wang and others frowned and said: Boy, it’s not good to be greedy.
The emperor pinched his brows and said, "You tell me."
Captain Zhao Xin said, "I am willing to accept all punishments on behalf of my mother." After a pause, he added, "I only wish for one thing. I hope Your Majesty will exile me to serve under General Lin."
The emperor suddenly opened his eyes.
The other court officials were stunned for a moment, and soon took a breath of cold air: Wait, you don’t want to complete that national destiny mission, do you?
Someone couldn't help but ask directly: "Are you sure about Black Widow?"
The court officials looked at him sideways in disapproval, and the man immediately covered his mouth.
Captain Zhao Xin bowed and said, "I am not sure, I just don't want to find a young woman. As for the rest, let everything take its course."
The emperor hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "I agree."
Captain Zhaoxin bowed gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty." He would go through fire and water to save his mother's life.
After the court officials left, the emperor waved his hand.
Song Wei appeared in an instant and said, "Your Majesty, people from Chen and Shu went to Mount Wutai to look for the Queen Mother."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
Song Wei said, "I only heard them say that it was about Chen's diplomatic mission to Daxia." After a pause, Song Wei continued, "Queen Mother, it is estimated that they will set off soon."
The emperor said, "Go down."
Song Wei bowed and left.
…
Mount Wutai
The back hill, where Buddhist chants once lingered, is now as warm as a children's playground.
The edges and corners of the furniture are wrapped in soft silk.
The eunuch in black coaxed the little princess in his arms with a gentle expression, but soon he handed the little princess to the palace maid beside him, then lowered his head and came to the figure who had just entered.
A low-pitched voice sounded: "What's wrong?"
The eunuch in black hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Master, are you really going back to the palace?"
The visitor was thin, holding a cup of tea in his slender but bony hands, and took a sip: "When did Daxia become a den of dragons and tigers in your eyes?"
The eunuch in black clothes whispered, "Princess Rong, Concubine De, the Second Prince, and Marquis Cheng's... the little Imperial Preceptor has disrupted so many of the Master's arrangements, and there are also rumors about the Imperial Preceptor outside, this..."
The Queen Mother asked, "Can the rain from the Spring Festival heal the wounds on our bodies?"
The eunuch in black shook his head.
The Queen Mother continued, "You also saw the lucky bag sent by Chen Guo. Can it prevent harm from knives, guns, clubs, etc.?"
The eunuch in black wanted to say something but didn't dare to, and continued to shake his head.
The Queen Mother then said slowly, "People in the world are so foolish. It's just some small tricks. There's nothing to be afraid of. But the little imperial teacher, ha, how old is he? Not only did he stir up the turmoil in the Great Xia Dynasty, but even the Chen Kingdom and the Xiongnu were afraid of him. It's interesting, really interesting. Get ready to go back to the palace."
The eunuch in black hesitated and asked again, "Should we bring Concubine Hu with us?"
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time before she said, "No."
The eunuch in black was stunned.
The Queen Mother waved her hands, as if she didn't want to talk about this anymore, and just said, "Go get ready. I'm curious to see how she's grown up."
The eunuch in black was stunned when he heard this, and said sincerely: "Master will surely get what you want."
