Chapter 48: Loyalty, Your Majesty!
Prime Minister Li suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Daxia and have no disrespect for it. But recently I found that my eldest son-in-law, the doctor of the Dushui Division, was acting suspiciously. I dare not accuse others, but I am more afraid that Daxia's interests will be damaged, so I specially ordered my woman to keep an eye on him. This morning, my daughter said that she wanted to kill her own relatives for the sake of Daxia. I, I..."
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Li's eyes were filled with tears.
Other courtiers: !!!
As expected, he is the person who can become the prime minister!
He cleverly used the young imperial master's prophecy to express his loyalty on the one hand, and portrayed himself and his daughter as kind-hearted people who were righteous for the country in front of the young imperial master on the other.
Considering how much Your Majesty cares about the young Imperial Master, you will not easily confiscate the property of the good person in the young Imperial Master's heart.
At the same time, Yuanruan's voice was heard:
[Tong'er, I didn't expect that after Prime Minister Li found out that his son-in-law had problems, he would actually let his own daughter keep an eye on him... Let's not talk about anything else... This man really has great loyalty and love for the Xia Kingdom! ]
System: […I didn’t expect Prime Minister Li to be like this. It seems that the saying that everyone has a conscience is true.]
After hearing this, Prime Minister Li quickly looked at the emperor and found that his stern expression had indeed eased.
At this time, the emperor said: "Yes. I understand."
Young court officials: As expected, His Majesty has let Prime Minister Li go.
Prime Minister Li prayed desperately in his heart: Thank you, little imperial master! Fortunately, there is still the little imperial master who saved my life!
Prime Minister Li rushed outside without stopping.
Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, the details have been discovered. Why didn't the National Mission respond? Is it because the details were not important enough? ]
System: [No. The National Destiny Mission is a trigger mechanism. You have to see this person with your own eyes before it has a chance to be triggered. If the person is not in front of you, or you don't notice him, you have no way of knowing whether the National Destiny Mission can be triggered.]
Yuan Ruan: [What! I must see this person! I must go! I want to go too!!!]
Thinking of this, Yuanruan pointed at Prime Minister Li’s departing back and said “Ya ya ya”.
Wu Yue heard what was on her mind and immediately said, "Father, my ninth sister will be moving to the Empress' Kunning Palace the day after tomorrow. I want to spend more time with her. I wonder if I can leave the palace for a while."
Yuan Ruan immediately looked at the emperor with his big round eyes and clenched his fists like a fortune cat.
[Ahhh! Big brother, I want to leave the palace! ]
But the emperor was worried.
Yuan Ruan became the center of attention in the matter of succeeding the imperial tutor of Da Xia, which naturally attracted the attention of villains from all sides. The emperor was worried that if he let Yuan Ruan leave the palace, she would be in danger.
At this time, the crown prince happened to come over with his officials. The crown prince did not hear the whole thing, but he could hear Yuan Ruan's anxiety and desire to go out to take on the mission of national destiny.
He lowered his voice and said, "Father, Jiu'er is so eager to go out and play. I have so many people to accompany her. We can't confine Jiu'er to the palace forever."
The emperor really wanted to do this, but he couldn't bear it when he saw Yuanruan's excited eyes.
The emperor said: "Then I will also accompany the little princess on the trip."
[Great! My nephew is so nice! ]
Other court officials: The prince deserves to be the crown prince. He is so smart that he can get ahead even if he sleeps anywhere.
The prince smiled gently, gently held Yuan Ruan's outstretched hand, and picked her up.
Huh? No hug.
The prince lowered his head and happened to see Wu Yue hugging Yuan Ruan's legs tightly, staring at him with dead fish eyes.
[Ahh, it hurts! ]
The prince and Wu Yue let go of Yuan Ruan almost at the same time. When Yuan Ruan was about to fall, Wu Yue, who had undergone brutal training, reacted faster and pulled Yuan Ruan back into his arms.
System: [Aruan! You are not hurt, are you?]
The emperor, the crown prince and Wu Yue all looked nervously at Wu Yue's slightly trembling hands.
Yuanruan: [It’s so exciting! No wonder kids like to play high tossing. I really want to play it again.]
The emperor and his two companions breathed a sigh of relief.
Prime Minister Li took the lead and walked in front, followed by the emperor and his entourage, and the court officials followed closely behind.
Yuan Ruan: [Xi'er, see if you can find the location of his daughter from his melon.]
Prime Minister Li suddenly became nervous.
The other court officials pricked up their ears immediately: Another melon?! Here it comes, the most interesting part is here.
System: [Let me see! The first gossip is actually about his eldest daughter. January 3rd, huh? Isn't this today? His eldest daughter and her husband are having dinner at Changjiu Tavern? Huh? Isn't this the cosmetics shop to the left of Prime Minister Li? Then, his daughter picked up a bowl of soup and said, "Husband, it's time to take the medicine."]
Yuan Ruan: [??? Wait a minute, why do these words sound so much like Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian in the play.]
Everyone: ???
Who are Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian?
At this time, the court officials had followed Yuan Ruan's thoughts and came to the cosmetics shop on the left side of Chang'an Street, and happened to hear exactly the same words.
"Husband, it's time to take medicine."
Everyone looked over and saw a beautiful woman with a graceful figure walking over with a basket. In front of her was a man who was buying a hairpin. The man turned around and smiled, "Madam, thank you for your hard work."
It was the person that Yuan Ruan and others were looking for, the doctor of the Du Shui Si and the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Li.
Yuanruan: [Tong'er! Has the national destiny mission been triggered? !]
System: [It's triggered! Let me see. This is weird.]
Everyone was shocked. Why was it so strange?
Is there something wrong with the national mission?
System: [National Fortune Main Mission: Prevent the doctor from drinking poison and dying (uncompleted), National Fortune +8]
System: [Ah Ruan is so weird! Isn't this guy a spy? Why is the national destiny mission to protect him? And you can get 8 extra points! How ridiculous.]
emperor:???
Courtiers: ???
This is so outrageous! Mother Guoyun, don’t you love our Daxia anymore?
Yuanruan was also very surprised:
[Really? Protecting a spy? Wait, Madam Li's medicine soup has been delivered. Ahhh... my national destiny mission! ]
The court officials were still confused, or they didn't know whether they could intervene. After all, what His Majesty hated most was spies from other countries. After the matter was accomplished, His Majesty would not hold the young imperial master accountable, but would most likely be angry with those who helped.
The emperor was indeed conflicted, but he noticed that the prince did not refuse when he extended his hand.
At this moment, Wu Yue threw a small stone over. Madam Li cried out, and the medicine soup spilled on the ground. The doctor from the Du Shui Si hurried forward and held Madam Li's hand, and said worriedly, "You are not burned, are you?"
The beautiful woman trembled slightly and shook her head.
The doctor of the Du Shui Si Department came with his wife to pay their respects before the emperor.
Yuanruanxin's voice sounded:
[Tong'er, take a look at the melon of the doctor of the Du Shuisi, and see what charm he has that can make the country look at him differently.]
System: [Okay, let me see! Ah... this guy is quite awesome! ]
Crowd: !!!
What the heck?!
