Chapter 292 is good to everyone
The emperor's angry voice echoed in the hall. Xie Yuan frowned sadly when he heard it. Danfeng's eyes showed a rare weakness. She asked in a humble voice for a while, begging:
"Your Majesty... can't you treat me as a man?"

The emperor rubbed his forehead angrily, and said, "Stop talking! You conceal your identity, a criminal who deceives the emperor, and you will be executed according to the law..."

He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, covered his eyes with the palm of his forehead, and couldn't see the expression clearly, as if he was thinking about something.

Princess Huaizhen raised her head in shock, her heart pounding nervously.

She suddenly realized that she was very afraid that her father would kill Xie Yuan, but logically speaking, she shouldn't have stopped her.

She turned her head to look at the dejected young man, and saw him kneeling there in black, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, and a sense of strength. Although he was a general, he was polite and humble, without any vulgarity.

Even in the face of the emperor, he responded neither humble nor overbearing, and his whole body was full of confidence, as if all the beauty that a man in the world should have was concentrated in him alone.

Thinking about him saying that he is a girl, Princess Huaizhen couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

She doesn't want him to die...

So she raised her head and glanced at the emperor cautiously, and called out cautiously and tentatively, "Father Emperor..."

Seeing that the emperor didn't stop drinking, he continued, "He is a minister of merit and a hero in everyone's eyes. If he were to be killed suddenly... what would the world think?"

The emperor let go of his hand, and said angrily: "She is a criminal who deceives the emperor, so she should have thought that today will happen! If I let her go, what prestige is there for the court's laws?! At that time, everyone can deceive me at will!"

He said that the light in his eyes lit up here, pointing at Princess Huaizhen's nose and shouting: "...and you! You lied today that she is frivolous and you are also a bully! If you talk too much, I will even kill you!!"

"Come here!" the emperor yelled angrily towards the outside of the palace, "Zhonglang general Xie Yuan insulted the princess, rebelled against his arrogance and despised the imperial power, and sent him to death row to be executed!"

Xie Yuan suddenly raised his head, pursed his lips stubbornly and looked at the emperor with hatred, his face was ashamed.

She plucked up the courage and was about to say something, when Princess Huaizhen took two steps on her knees and said anxiously:

"Father! Please forgive me. He is a young hero praised by everyone. If he was killed because of such a crime, the world would feel sorry for him, and then speculate that his father is cruel. Why don't you treat him as a girl?" Announce it to the public and leave it to the world to judge, if there are too many people who come to the table to intercede, the emperor will let him go and spare his life, which also shows that the emperor is tolerant and benevolent in governing the country."

The old emperor of the Song Dynasty looked impatient, and said angrily: "What do you know?! If you want the world to know that the young hero that the Song Dynasty worships and praises is a woman, that would be a big joke!"

Xie Yuan said in a timely manner: "Your Majesty... the identity of the minister can not be announced to the public. If your majesty must die, please let the minister die in battle. This will not only preserve the law of the country, but also preserve the face that your majesty said. Let the minister die well..."

With tears in Xie Yuan's eyes, his high-pitched voice suddenly turned into a weak sigh, and he continued:

"This...is good for everyone."

Zhonglang Jiang Jieyuan, the rumored young hero, suddenly died in battle and disappeared from the world...

...It's really good for everyone.

In this way, the emperor no longer had to worry that her identity as a girl would be leaked out, which would embarrass the people of the country.

She herself no longer has to live in pain and entanglement because she resents God for giving birth to her in the wrong gender.

Really nice to everyone.

Xie Yuan sighed in her heart, she felt relieved after seeing the result, she thought to herself mockingly: Sure enough, the hope she was holding was a delusion after all.

Now that you hit the south wall, you don't have to look back, just hit the south wall to your death to prove that you have been here.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan had a look of resignation to death on his face.

The emperor did not order again, he was tempted.

There was silence in the hall.

When they came earlier, because the princess informed him that he had been treated lightly, the emperor was afraid of losing face, so he dismissed all the palace people in the hall, leaving only two cronies.

Just now the emperor issued an order to call for someone, and then two guards with knives came in and stood behind Xie Yuan.

At this time, because they knew the inside story, they all had shock in their eyes, but they didn't dare to show it with a blank face, so they just stood there, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

But the emperor looked at Xie Yuan and didn't speak...

Suddenly, a eunuch's report came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty... Shen Qingzhi, Lord Shen, has something to ask for an audience."

When the emperor heard this, he sneered, sat back in his seat, and said:
"But, how could I have forgotten him? He is your master. He helped you hide your identity until now, and he also claimed credit for you. He is so brave."

The emperor's tone was light and mocking, but Xie Yuan's heart trembled.

"Let him in! I want to see what he can say." The emperor ordered.

After a while, Shen Qingzhi left and walked in with a bow. Seeing that Xie Yuan was still kneeling there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he ran over along the way, he was still worried about Xie Yuan's safety.Even after he knelt down and saluted, and then straightened up, the voice of panting and breathing was still obvious:

"See Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't let him get up, but asked with a cold face, "Why did you come in such a hurry?"

Shen Qingzhi glanced at Princess Huaizhen who was beside the emperor, and said: "Perhaps His Majesty already knows, it is absolutely impossible for my apprentice to belittle the princess."

"I don't know...Shen Aiqing, come and tell me why?"

Shen Qingzhi glanced at Xie Yuan again, and seeing that Xie Yuan had tears in his eyes, looking like he was resigned to his fate, he knew that the emperor must have known the whole story, and he did not intend to let her go.

So he sighed, and said with a frown:
"Please calm down, Your Majesty. This apprentice of mine is a girl from the Xie family in Linjiang City. As you know, Your Majesty, she has been betrothed to my son Shen Liuzhen since childhood."

After hearing this, the emperor turned from anger and dissatisfaction to surprise, and looked at Xie Yuan.

It has to be said that the reputation of the Xie family that has been passed down for hundreds of years is enough for the world to look at, even the emperor of a country is no exception.

Because the aristocratic family was originally the force they wanted to win over and make friends with.

Only Shen Qingzhi went on to say:
"...This child has been gifted since she was a child, and I treat her as my own child.

In that year's war, Linjiang City was lost, and I was seriously injured. This kid ran out of the house without authorization, came to find news about me, and entered the barracks by mistake to become a soldier.After I recovered from my injury and went back, I realized that she had already become a head of guards by relying on her military achievements. "

Shen Qingzhi paused, raised his head and said sincerely to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I originally wanted to drive her home out of the desire not to hurt the child and take risks, but at that time we suffered a disastrous defeat, and the old minister really couldn't swallow this. Let me go, I am old, I am not as good as before when I am injured or sick, I just want to promote a few useful talents from the bottom, so that I can return this shame for His Majesty in the future. After searching and searching, she is the most suitable one candidate."

Tears glistened in Shen Qingzhi's big copper bell-like eyes, and he said excitedly:
"Your Majesty! Apart from Your Majesty, no one else understands the old minister's mind. Old minister, I don't regret the decision to keep her!"

Xie Yuan was terrified when he heard it.This is not the way they negotiated to deal with it!

Why did Master confess so much? !Isn't this bearing the emperor's rebellious scales and taking the crime of deceiving the emperor on himself? !
