Saving one's life is the first priority!

After the old emperor announced the verdict on Prince Jin, Xu Yanmiao suddenly remembered -

[Wait, what about the princess? She is innocent! And the twins who are not even one year old will also be exiled? They won't survive. ]

At the same time, Prince Jin suddenly burst out with great energy, and told the old emperor how ignorant his princess was, how superb her medical skills were, and how much she could contribute to Daxia.

The central idea was: "The road is long and the mountains are high. I beg my brother to have mercy and spare my princess. She didn't know about this from the beginning to the end. Moreover, she has medical skills and can serve Daxia and the royal family."

The emperor laughed: "Her husband and children were exiled to Guizhou, a poor place with bad mountains and bad waters. Her husband's family was destroyed. Who knows if she has hatred in her heart? How can I let her serve the royal family?"

The prince of Jin almost played the most quick wit in his life and immediately said: "Royal brother! I guarantee that she will never hate the royal family. I will definitely convince her! I beg my brother to have mercy and spare her life!"

However, when he raised his head with tears in his eyes, he could only see his brother staring at him coldly.

The prince of Jin's heart skipped a beat and then fell silent.

Yes, what can he guarantee?

His breathing became heavier, and his chest still ached slightly. If he had betrayed King Jinbei in time and made contributions, would he be... now?

The shadow on the dragon throne was like a terrible darkness that enveloped King Jin, almost suffocating him.

The shadow actually moved away.

"...Brother?"

King Jin's call did not attract the emperor's attention. He found that the other party did not know what he was looking at, and his eyes were looking far away.

[The princess is really innocent. ]

[The premise of bringing misfortune to the family is that happiness also comes to the family. King Jin was too cautious. King Jinbei wanted to give him benefits, but he refused them all. The princess did not enjoy anything. It was too pitiful that she lost her life inexplicably. 】

【Alas, but the emperor doesn't care whether she is innocent or not...】

【Even such a huge benefit as the miracle doctor can't impress the old emperor, what else can impress him? 】

The fur color of the little white Ze seemed to have dimmed a lot.

The old emperor turned around to look at Prince Jin, and suddenly snorted coldly: "Rebellion is a situation where the whole family will die, but... your princess has the help of a noble."

This means...

Prince Jin's eyes lit up. In the intense ecstasy, a trace of doubts surged in his heart.

Princess, what kind of noble did you know that could make his royal brother change his mind?

And the ministers who understood the old emperor's meaning better...

Prime Minister Dou took a breath.

The expressions on the faces of the six ministers were very unexpected and profound.

Lian Hang widened his eyes.

Xu Yanmiao quietly rubbed against her best friend and exclaimed: "There is actually a noble person who can influence His Majesty's decision, how magical, I really want to know who it is."

Lian Hang: "...Yes. It's really unexpected."

Xu Yanmiao guessed enthusiastically: "Lian Lang, do you think it could be the Queen? Or the Crown Prince? The princess happened to have a relationship with them when she was practicing medicine, so His Majesty..."

Lian Hang: "...I don't think so."

Xu Yanmiao was very surprised: "There is no third person in the world who can make the old... His Majesty change his mind, right?"

Lian Hang's expression was subtle for a moment: "That seems to be right."

"Right! I think it must be..."

The Jinyiwei who came over jogging coughed: "Xu Lang, His Majesty is calling you."

Xu Lang, who was chatting, was startled.

[The old emperor won’t notice that I’m chatting idly, right?]

[Shouldn’t he be that idle?]

The very idle old emperor looked at him with a half-smile after someone came over, leaned back in his chair, hugged his shoulders, and said slowly: "Xu Yanmiao, you should know that I’m in a bad mood right now."

Xu Yanmiao looked at him hesitantly: "...Really?"

"Come on, tell me something interesting to cheer me up?"

Xu Yanmiao blinked blankly: "Yes."

[Interesting thing, the King of Jin was so scared by a little historian named Huang and Prince in his neighboring territory that he dug a tunnel for three days to escape. Does that count?]

Surname Huang and Prince? !

The old emperor had his arms crossed over his chest, but when he heard this, his waist straightened imperceptibly.

Shengdou Xiaomin... He is really timid. Whenever there is a little movement, he closes the door and hides behind it trembling.

He is really brave. He even dares to call him the crown prince!

Not only does he call him the crown prince, he also dares to use this name as a small historian!

The old emperor glanced at his annoying brother imperceptibly.

It is not surprising that he would be scared by this.

His annoying brother was also looking at him.

Prince Jin was shocked.

He is very close to the old emperor now, so close that he can keenly perceive the changes in the emperor's aura.

After the handsome young man named Xu came forward, even though he didn't say a few words, his brother's irritable mood immediately stabilized, like a very angry lion who was suddenly smoothed down and could lie down peacefully again.

Who is this person?

Prince Jin couldn't help but look at Xu Yanmiao a few more times.

He couldn't see anything special about him at the moment, he could only say... he was very good-looking. He looked particularly clear.

*

Xu Yanmiao pondered for a while, picked and chose, and picked out something that he might be able to find out in his position: "Your Majesty, do you remember the 'eternal filial son' in Dingyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture?"

Seeing his majesty's face full of "Is there such a thing?", the old historian reminded him very reliably: "Your Majesty, this person is very filial. After his parents passed away, he was so sad that he didn't want to leave, so he lived in the tomb passage and kept mourning until now, for a full twenty years."

The old emperor looked at this matter and smiled, "It turns out that he is a filial son, Xu Yanmiao, you..."

Before he finished saying "I have a good heart", he heard the second half of the sentence blurted out by Xu Yanmiao, who obviously couldn't help but blurt out: "He drank wine and ate meat in the tomb passage, and gave birth to five fat babies!"

After that, Xu Yanmiao closed his mouth silently, not daring to say anything.

The old emperor: "..."

Do you think I am happy to hear this?

What am I happy about? Happy that the "filial son" insisted on living in the tomb for twenty years, but was exposed by you and his success was in vain?

"... Ahem." Thinking about this for a while, the old emperor's old chest suddenly burst into laughter. When he learned that there was a filial son under his rule, the smile that slightly raised his lips could not be compared with this.

Sure enough, when you are in trouble, watching others in trouble can make you feel better.

——The annals of the court have already recorded this incident. As for the "filial son" who wanted to be an official, he will soon be punished for being "unfilial". The

old emperor gestured to Xu Yanmiao to come forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, I am much happier now."

[Eh? Is it that simple? ]

Xu Lang blinked, and after making sure that he had not heard wrongly, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

[Great! Nothing went wrong. ]

[Ah... I originally just wanted to be a salted fish in a corner. It's really dangerous to be summoned by the emperor so frequently. I might lose my life if I'm not careful. Is there any way to prevent the emperor from calling me from time to time? ]

Ministers: "..."

Listen, people say!

Can you consider the feelings of those of us who are trying to climb up?

Unfortunately, Xu Yanmiao could not hear their thoughts.

Xu Yanmiao was still worried: [I wonder if I can be banished from the capital for making a small mistake...]

The ruler and ministers of Daxia: "!!!" Of course not! Who knows what the judgment rules of the artifact are? What if, after Xu Yanmiao becomes a local official, all local officials can hear his thoughts, then... what about their secrets! Does the whole world know that the emperor was cuckolded by his grandson?

Does the whole world know that the Minister of War does not take a bath? [Forget it, it's too dangerous. It's easy to die if you encounter robbers on the road. Even if you take office safely, there is a possibility that tigers will break into county towns and state capitals. It is still safer to stay in the capital. ] The ruler and ministers of Daxia suddenly relaxed their breath. Yes, yes! The capital is very safe! The emperor is here, there is no safer place in the world. "Prince Jin..." The old emperor interrupted quickly to prevent Xu Yanmiao from having any more wild thoughts. Prince Jin's heart skipped a beat, and negative thoughts came to his mind. - Could it be that his brother is making fun of him? Then, he heard his brother's meaningful words: "I made a secret decision in my heart before, leaving everything to God's will. If Xu Yanmiao can't make me feel better, even if there is a noble lady, I don't plan to spare your princess." Prince Jin: "What -" [What? ! ] [Such an important matter is so heavy on me, and I don't even know it? ! ] Xu Yanmiao and Prince Jin - one hand trembled slightly with fear, and one had beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. But at this moment, they all opened their eyes in unison. The dog emperor leaned his head back on the chair, rubbing his chin with his palm: "Now it seems that this is the will of heaven." He waved his big hand: "Then let your wife and the two children go." The arms of the King of Jin went limp, and the upper body that was supported fell back to the ground again, panting. ——At this time, he still hasn't forgotten that he is a cripple. His head and face had been beaten by the emperor's stick before, and his cheeks were swollen. At this moment, it was a bit difficult to pronounce: "Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness." The emperor raised his eyebrows: "You have also met a noble, right?" As soon as these words came out, the King of Jin reacted and looked at Xu Yanmiao with a different look. Indeed. If Xu Yanmiao had not coaxed his brother into a good mood, his wife's fate would have been unknown. Perhaps the wine houses, casinos and bankers he used as secret stakes could have... * Prince Jin was very afraid of death. Xu Yanmiao now knew how afraid Prince Jin was of death. In every prefecture in the country, there were secret stakes of his to gather information, but he never sold the information. Instead, he held the information tightly in his hands like a hamster hoarding food for the winter, and only felt at ease after looking at it from time to time. ——He knew the names of the minor officials in the prefecture next to his territory because of the existence of these secret stakes. Now, these secret stakes were handed over to Xu Yanmiao in the name of thank-you gifts. Xu Yanmiao immediately handed it over to the court. In response, the court said: "Since it is the private property of King Jin and he gave it to you, you can keep it. The court is not so poor that it can rob the property of ministers." The rulers and ministers of Daxia were calculating. With the hidden stakes, Xiaobai Ze would have a reasonable source of information. Wouldn't it be possible in the future... The old emperor showed a yearning expression. The ministers showed an expectant look. Although the risk has increased, the benefits are also greater! To put it simply and straightforwardly, such as asking where there is a gold mountain... [No, no, these hidden stakes must not be taken!] The rulers and ministers of Daxia: Wait! Why not! Give us a reason, and we will refute it immediately after you give it. [I'm not stupid. How could the emperor allow his ministers to control a powerful intelligence force?] The old emperor was anxious: I allow it! ! ! [If the court insists on not accepting it and wants to establish a reputation, I will... I will... well, find a way to destroy those intelligence sources in front of the whole court and dismiss all the people... No, what if the old emperor suspects that I am breaking up the whole into small pieces? I know! Send them to serve as soldiers and disperse them to various camps. They are not allowed to leave the camp without orders. He will feel at ease keeping them under his nose, right?] [It's more important to save your life.] The emperor and his ministers of Daxia: "!!!" No, no!
