He was about to nod when he saw Ying Wuji take a step forward.
"Isn't Prime Minister Luo too anxious to make a decision for Hua Chao?"
Ying Wuji looked at Luo Yan's slightly hunched appearance, feeling both amused and angry: "Does Minister Luo think he knows Hua Chao well enough that making such a request will fulfill her happiness?"
Luo Yan opened his mouth and fell silent again.
Of course he thought so.
But he used to think he knew Hua Chao very well, but every time he made a decision, it would have the opposite effect.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you think so, Master Wuji? You risked your life to save Hua Chao, so you must think so too..."
Ying Wuji sneered: "That's between her and me!"
Luo Yan's breath was choked: "Don't you want to marry her?"
Ying Wuji's expression became colder and colder: "In your eyes, being nice to her means taking her as a concubine? Luo Yan, when you promised to take Hua Chao's mother as a concubine, did you also feel that you had made a great sacrifice for them and their daughter?"
Luo Yan: “…”
Ying Wuji: "Then let me ask you, what was her reaction when you said you wanted to take her as a concubine?"
Luo Yan: “…”
What reaction?
He almost poked my trachea with a sword!
At that time, because of the matter of Hua Chao's mother and daughter, he had a fierce quarrel with his wife, and had forced his wife to back down. However, when he told the news of "taking a concubine" to Hua Chao's mother, he was met with a cold stare.
"You have no idea what the word 'concubine' means to Hua Chao!"
Ying Wuji felt a little depressed. Let alone being a concubine, it was impossible for Hua Chao to even be a co-wife.
As a friend, confidant, or even a relative in a sense, Hua Chao can be very generous to me, but if I tell her: Sister Hua Chao, I want to marry you, but I may cheat on you.
Ying Wuji promised that Hua Chao would show him in person how the demon seed exploded.
He still remembers that when he was discussing the script of "The Deer and the Cauldron" with Hua Chao, Hua Chao said that he liked the role of Wei Xiaobao very much, and then he held his hand and changed all the female protagonists except Shuang'er into villains, and then killed them one by one.
Luo Yan moved his throat, and it seemed that he didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry about Hua Chao's affairs. I will take good care of her. If you really want to treat her well..."
Ying Wuji paused, pointed his finger at Hua Wanqiu, and said in a very cold voice: "Behead this villain who taught me right in front of me and His Majesty!"
"What!"
Luo Yan was horrified, his eyes full of panic and shock.
He turned his head to look at Zhao Ji and found that His Majesty Prince Li did not show any surprise at all. He suddenly felt his hands and feet cold, and finally confirmed that this time Zhao Ji specifically asked him to bring his new bride into the palace just for Hua Wanqiu.
Hua Wanqiu was shocked and subconsciously took a step back, saying in panic: "Teach me, what do you mean teach me? I, I don't know, don't kill me..."
She had just been scolded by Ying Wuji in the morning, and now she was even more frightened.
Zhao Ji did not show any anger, but just looked at Luo Yan calmly and sighed softly: "Old Luo, tell me!"
The word "Lao Luo" made Luo Yan stunned for a long time.
He looked somewhat struggling. The two of them had a very close personal relationship between the king and his subject. When they were not on official business, Zhao Ji would often call him Lao Luo.
Calling him like this now, I guess he wanted to put the national law aside and give himself a chance to admit his mistake. After all, openly, important officials of the court are forbidden to have any contact with Weiwojiao.
Luo Yan was silent for a long time: "Your Majesty! I can tell you everything without holding back, but... can you let Wanqiu step aside for a while?"
"Um!"
Zhao Ji nodded, called a few palace maids, and took Hua Wanqiu out.
Hua Wanqiu was both scared and confused. When she left the side hall, she looked back several times.
Seeing this scene, Ying Wuji frowned. Why did he feel that... Hua Wanqiu's identity seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined?
And Zhao Ji seemed to have guessed something.
"I am guilty!"
Luo Yan knelt down directly, his face full of shame: "This old minister has contacted the demon for me privately, and his crime is worthy of death. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ji bowed and helped him up: "If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Even if you want to kneel, you have to wait until I get angry before kneeling. Let's talk about the matter first, in detail. What is the identity of this Hua Wanqiu, and why is she so similar to the person at the beginning?"
"well……"
Luo Yan sighed deeply, turned around and glanced at Ying Wuji: "I don't know how you know she is related to Weiwojiao. You may think she is Weiwojiao's person, but that's not the case."
Ying Wuji said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, just say it directly!"
Luo Yan looked solemn: "Young Master Wuji, have you ever heard of a magical power in this world called the Soul-Transferring Art?"
"Danqing ferry soul!"
Zhao Ning, who had not interrupted for a long time, suddenly exclaimed.
"Danqing Duhun... I said the soul of the woman just now was incomplete and didn't look like a living person. It turned out to be this!"
Zhao Ji had a tone of "as expected".
Ying Wuji frowned. He considered himself to be somewhat knowledgeable and had learned a lot of magical powers from the information, but he had never heard of Danqing Duhun.
"What kind of magical power is this?"
"It's normal that Brother Ying doesn't understand!"
Zhao Ning was a little uneasy, but he still suppressed his fear and explained slowly: "This magical power last appeared during the war between Shang and Zhou. Now it has become a taboo secret. Even in the royal families of various countries, few people know about it."
