Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 681 Two Ways

Now that Yan Mu is not in Beijing, the emperor chose this opportunity.

Liu Yunxiang bowed his head and didn't speak, he said what was wrong right now, just show his attitude like the emperor.

As the sun turned to the west, it became cold outside the hall.Liu Yunxiang knelt on the icy ground, but within a moment, the coldness had spread all over his body.

"Hmph, since you are so ignorant, kneel here and reflect on yourself." After speaking, the emperor flicked his sleeves and left.

After the emperor left, there were guards watching.

Zijin was originally outside the palace gate, and sneaked in while the gatekeeper was not paying attention.

"Girl, it's freezing outside, you've suffered so much."

It has been nine cold days, covered with ice and snow everywhere, and the cold wind is like a blade, and her teeth are already chattering with cold.

If it goes on like this, it is indeed too much to suffer, and there is no need to change it.

She tilted her head slightly, and whispered to Zijin, "Go get a rescuer."

"Who?"

"Old Prince Shunping."

"Oh, will he?"

"Zhang Qi has an IOU from him, you just take the IOU and ask him to repay the debt."

Zijin went, Liu Yunxiang let out a little breath, she was not worried about whether the old prince would help her, after all he owed her money.What she was worried about was that even if the old prince interceded, the emperor would not spare her.

In particular, the matter of Yan Mu marrying Changning is related to the alliance between the two countries, and it is a big matter. Even if Yan Mu is in Beijing, the emperor kills him and wants him to marry Changning, there is nothing he can do unless he really resists the order.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, but now she was glad that Yan Mu wasn't here.

Just when she was thinking about how to resolve the immediate crisis, she heard movement on the steps, looked up and saw two court ladies carrying a large basin of water, walking up to the steps, one seemed to stumble accidentally, followed by a big The basin of water poured down.

The water flowed down the steps, and soon it would be under Liu Yunxiang's knees.

In this weather, dripping water turns into ice, and when it reaches her knees, it will not only wet her clothes, but soon her knees will be frozen to the ice.It didn't take long for her legs to be useless.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, and was about to get up and move around when Mother Jiang, who was beside the queen, came out.

"Princess!" This mother Jiang shouted, "The empress kindly advises you, not only did you not appreciate it, but you also made her faint from anger, and now she is dizzy and short of breath, unable to get up, are you reflecting on yourself?"

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "My lord's kindness, my princess can't bear it."

"presumptuous!"

When the water flowed over, Liu Yunxiang stood up and looked at Mother Jiang coldly, "You are a slave, yelling in front of this princess, you are the one who is presumptuous!"

"You!" Mother Jiang pointed at Liu Yunxiang, her face turning blue, "The emperor asked you to kneel in front of Feifeng Palace to reflect, if you dare to get up, you..."

Liu Yunxiang changed to a place without water and knelt down again, "The emperor asked my concubine to kneel to reflect, but he didn't say to let her kneel in the water. And if you go in, I will ask the empress, she really hopes that Yan Mu will marry you. Changning, did you get support from Beijin?"

Mammy Jiang saw Liu Yunxiang straightened up even though he was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, his aura was still fierce, and it still made people dare not disobey.

When Nanny Jiang went in, Liu Yunxiang bent down slightly calmly, rubbing his knees with his hands alternately.

The ground is so cold, kneeling on it, it feels like dozens of ice needles stabbing into the bone.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and I don't know if Zijin found the old prince.

At night, when the north wind blew, Liu Yunxiang had lost feeling in her knees, and she was groggy. She didn't know how long she could hold on.

The old prince finally came, with a dark face, facing the cold wind, he strode over.He was originally full of anger, but seeing Liu Yunxiang like this, he let out another long sigh.

"I shouldn't owe you money!"

Liu Yunxiang supported his body with his hands, looked up at the old prince, "Have you been trained by the emperor?"

"That's called swearing! I'm so old, I can't even have my old face!" Said the old prince and patted his face.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It's okay, you have a thick skin."

The old prince glared at Liu Yunxiang, and sat down on the steps in front of her, "I pleaded for you, but the emperor pressed me with state affairs, called me stupid, irrelevant, and a vain courtier. Look at his attitude, your seventh son The matter of marrying Princess Changning is a certainty."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, "I won't agree even if I die."

"Death is the way to go."

Liu Yunxiang glared at the old prince, "Before I die, you have to pay back the money you owe me!"

The old prince looked down at his gown, there was a hole in the knee, he sewed the patch by himself under the oil lamp yesterday, although it didn't look good, but at least it didn't leak.

One word: poor.

"Look at your impatience, listen to me slowly. If I don't risk my old face to beg the emperor, the emperor will let go."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes lit up, "Oh?"

"He gave you two choices."

"Which two?"

The old prince stroked his beard, smiled, and said: "The first thing, you accept Lao Qi's marriage to Changning Princess, the emperor read it from your contribution to the court. You are the concubine, she For the concubine."

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "What about the second one?"

The old prince glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and then said: "Actually, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, especially the seventh is a prince, if he..." The old prince pointed to the sky, seeing that Liu Yunxiang understood, and then Said: "You can't be the only one in the huge harem, right?"

"Why not?"

"Which emperor in all dynasties only married one?"

"I dare not others, just him."

The old prince sighed, "The second thing is that the emperor ordered Yan Mu to divorce you."

With Liu Yunxiang's deep eyes, she guessed that with this provision, the emperor would naturally not compromise with her, a weak woman with no power or influence.

She squinted at the old prince, "Is this what you asked for me?"

The old prince waved his hand to tell her to be calm, "What I can help you with is to wait for Yan Mu to return to Beijing and ask him to write you a letter of divorce in person."

"you……"

"You can't bear this matter, he has to bear it."

Liu Yunxiang let out a breath, "It's not like you don't know his temper, I'm afraid he will really confront the emperor head-on."

They have been cornered and cornered, and now they have finally opened up another situation. The road is getting smoother and smoother. She is afraid that Yan Mu's impulsiveness will ruin the good situation, and the efforts of the two of them will fall short.

"If you kneel here all night and go directly to the Palace of Hades, you don't have to worry about it." The old prince spread his hands.

Liu Yunxiang stood up with his arms propped up. Because his knees were numb from the cold, he staggered forward and gritted his teeth to stand still.

"Anyway, I can't let him carry it alone."

The old prince put his hands together, "That depends on whether your attitude is tough enough."

On the way back, Liu Yunxiang kept thinking, her attitude could be tough, but Yan Mu couldn't.Using the excuse of amnesia, he managed to get the emperor to trust him and get close to him, so he couldn't spoil the overall situation.

Back at the mansion, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin and Jinyan to tidy up.

"Girl, we... are we leaving the palace?" Jin Yan asked in confusion.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yan'er and Xingyi are already asleep, right? Wake them up, it's windy outside, and put them on cloaks."

Listening to the howling wind, Jin Yan asked, "Can we leave tomorrow?"

"Leave tonight."

She has to give the palace an attitude, and this attitude must be firm enough!
