"Hua Qingcheng, do you want him to live or die?"
Nalan Yunzhi glanced disdainfully at Shan Zuo who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at Hua Qingcheng, his face slightly gloomy, and spoke slowly.
Hua Qingcheng looked at Shan Zuo, who was kneeling on the ground with his head turned to the side and not saying a word. Suddenly, the image of Shan You, who had a pale face, a weak body, a sickly look, but could not hide his unyielding pride, appeared in her mind. She felt a little bit reluctant.
"Your Majesty, Shan Zuo's mother died innocently while trying to find out the truth about the Queen's fall from the cliff. I beg Your Majesty to forgive Shan Zuo's disrespectful behavior and give him a chance to reform, considering Shan Wushuang's unwavering loyalty."
"Hmph! One should do his job and fulfill his responsibilities. This is merely the duty of Shan Wushuang as a subject, and it is not a reason for me to forgive her son for daring to assassinate me. What's more, whether your one-sided statement is true or not remains to be verified." Nalan Yunzhi sneered disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, just consider it as... just consider it as accumulating blessings for the unfortunate Queen Phoenix and her daughter who died tragically."
Seeing that the emperor was not easy to persuade, Hua Qingcheng could only bring Feng Lingyan and his daughter out again.
"Do you really think so?" Nalan Yunzhi looked at Hua Qingcheng with an ambiguous look.
"Yes." Hua Qingcheng also looked directly at Nalan Yunzhi without any avoidance of gaze.
"An Yi!"
"Yes, Master."
Following Nalan Yunzhi's order, a figure dressed in crimson and purple clothes and wearing a half-gilded butterfly-shaped mask on his head flashed out from the darkness and knelt on one knee in front of Nalan Yunzhi waiting for orders.
"Take this brat to the Dark Guard Camp and train him using the Dark Guard selection training method. If he survives, let him return to Hua Qingcheng."
When Nalan Yunzhi first saw Shan Zuo, he knew that this little boy possessed extraordinary qualities. However, if jade is not polished, it will not be made into a useful tool. Moreover, this person has a rebellious heart. If he is not polished, once the identity of Princess Hua Qingcheng is exposed in the future, he may even commit murder.
"Yes, Master!"
After receiving the order, An Yi picked up Shan Zuo and prepared to take him away.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing..."
Hua Qingcheng glanced at Shan Zuo with concern. Although he had only been with her for a short time, he was indeed diligent and conscientious, but his desire for revenge had simply clouded his mind.
"It depends on his own luck. If he can pass the training for selecting secret guards, he can come back to you." It was rare for Nalan Yunzhi to have so much patience to explain to a junior.
"You little brat, if you want to return to your master, you'd better not die so soon!" Nalan Yunzhi glanced at Shan Zuo, whose collar was grabbed by An Yi, and snorted coldly.
"Master, rest assured, I will definitely come back alive! Please be sure to help me take good care of Ah You."
Dan Zuo looked at Hua Qingcheng with red eyes, and then turned his head to the side. Although he didn't know what was waiting for him next, for the sake of his master and Ah You, he had to bite his teeth and carry on, and come back alive to see them.
"take away!"
Nalan Yunzhi saw that it was almost done, so he said coldly.
"Yes, Master!"
After An Yi bowed to Nalan Yunzhi, he walked out carrying his single document.
"You little one, don't think I'll treat you any differently just because you're a man. You won't be spared any of the necessary training!"
After leaving the study, An Yi patted Dan Zuo's head and snapped his fingers. A moment later, two women dressed in the same style as An Yi and about the same height as her appeared.
"Boss, what are your orders?"
An Er and An San, who were also wearing crimson and purple clothes and half-gilded butterfly masks on their heads, asked An Yi in confusion, but their eyes were all on Dan Zuo, who was being held by An Yi by the collar.
"Take this kid back to the Dark Guard Camp and train him according to the Dark Guard selection standards. Don't give him any preferential treatment just because he's a man and young."
"Yes, Boss."
An Er and An San then took Shan Zuo away from the General's Mansion and went to the place where the royal family of Laifeng Kingdom trained their secret guards. As for where it was, no outsider knew.
After finishing his work, An Yi returned to the study to report to Nalan Yunzhi.
"Hua Qingcheng, come here."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Looking at the messy study, Nalan Yunzhi could no longer stay there, so she took the painting "Lingyan Imperial Horse" she had painted out of the study, and Hua Qingcheng followed her to the garden.
"sit."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nalan Yunzhi sat down at the stone table in the garden pavilion and asked Hua Qingcheng to sit opposite her.
After a while, a servant with lowered eyebrows and eyes came forward to serve tea, water and cakes.
"Hua Qingcheng, please keep this painting well. Next time... next time I will take you to see the real Lingyan Imperial Horse Painting." Nalan Yunzhi looked at Hua Qingcheng meaningfully and handed the painting to her.
"Qingcheng thanks the emperor!"
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord!
Although Hua Qingcheng didn't understand why the emperor insisted on giving her this complicated painting, as a commoner, she had no right to say "no" and could only accept and express her gratitude.
"Is your doctor pregnant now?" Nalan Yunzhi asked suddenly.
"My husband is indeed nearly four months pregnant." Although she didn't know why the emperor was still concerned about her husband in the backyard, Hua Qingcheng could only answer truthfully.
"It seems that the baby will be due after the Chinese New Year, in the first month of the lunar year..." Nalan Yunzhi said slowly.
She was unable to be with Lingyan when she gave birth, and now her daughter's husband is about to give birth, so she has to protect him well.
