Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

"Uncle Huang is wise!" Li Fengjiao reacted quickly and put on a flattering smile.

"Since you have something to say, go and offer incense to your aunt, and talk to her along the way, as a sign of filial piety." Emperor Chongning didn't even raise his eyes.

Li Fengjiao and Mingyi looked at each other, a little helpless, but had to say "yes", and then turned around and went out.

Chu Yanze also heard Xian Zhiya and said to Emperor Chongning, "I will go outside and take a look around."

Emperor Chongning nodded lightly, and Chu Yanze turned around. Before leaving, his eyes met Mingyi's. With just one touch, he retracted and walked out of the Zen room without squinting.

Mingyi looked at his back and frowned slightly.

"No more, no less, just half a year old. Although Chu Yueqin has the integrity of a scholar, he still can't escape the world of mortals." Emperor Chongning suddenly spoke, snapping back Mingyi's thoughts that had just drifted away.

Mingyi turned around and saw that Emperor Chongning didn't look at her. He just lowered his head and picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one.

"Yun'an, tell me, is there anyone in this world who dares to defeat me?" Emperor Chongning finally raised his head and looked at Mingyi. He still had those peaceful eyes, which he had never given her even in the previous few times we met. There was no sense of intimidation at all, but for some unknown reason today, Mingyi's scalp tightened.

After a while, she realized that Emperor Chongning was asking if anyone "dare" to win against him. Rather, can anyone beat him? Sure enough, even though he was sitting in that high position, no matter how gentle he looked on the outside, he was like a mirror in his heart.

But Mingyi hesitated, not knowing how to answer, "Your Majesty, in this world..." How can someone dare to win against you when they know who you are?

It was probably because the embarrassment on Mingyi's face was too obvious. Even before she finished speaking, Emperor Chongning understood what she meant and said with a smile, "It seems that Xue Rongyu has never told you this."

What did you say? Mingyi's face was blank.

The smile on Emperor Chongning's face gradually disappeared, "Xue Rongyu is the only one who knows my identity but never gives in and dares to win against me!"

What? Mingyi's mind roared, is Xue Lin crazy? Also, why did Your Majesty suddenly talk to her about this? Or at this moment?
Mingyi suddenly knelt down and said with a tight throat, "Your Majesty, Governor Xue did not mean any offense. He is probably just a warrior and straightforward, and he didn't think that much."

"Lu Zhi?" Emperor Chongning smiled again, "Probably you are the only one who can use such a word to describe Xue Rongyu. So, you also came to see me because you think he is Lu Zhi? You didn't go to the palace to ask for an audience, but instead I chose today, and I specifically asked Gillian to bring you here. Compared to Xue Rongyu's Lu Zhi, Yun An... you are much more confident."

Of course this is not a real compliment. Mingyi knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

"Do you think that through the Queen's light, I will not hold Xue Lin accountable for the sake of your deep love and righteousness?" Emperor Chongning's voice was light, and there was no hint of emotion or anger.

Mingyi has never realized so deeply that the person in front of her is not the uncle who has always loved her, but the king of a country who is willing to take life and death. Of course, she is not Li Fengjiao now, and the other person is not her uncle.

There was sorrow and fear in her heart. Mingyi's eyes were slightly moist, and her voice could not control her trembling. "Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending the late Queen. I have not yet married Governor Xue, so I dare not mention any deep feelings." I would never dare to be on par with the emperor and empress. I chose this place to meet the emperor. Naturally, I have my selfish motives. However, I also want to use your majesty’s deep love for the late empress so that your majesty can also sympathize with my daughter. One or two, at least I can listen to what I have to say."

"You are always eloquent, and it seems that you have prepared a long speech today. Are you going to come to me to exonerate Xue Rong and Qingqing? Anyway, since you have put all your effort into choosing today to find this place, even if it is For the sake of the queen's peace, I must listen to you." Emperor Chongning turned around, straightened his robe, and said seriously, "Say it!" "Your Majesty, as the unmarried wife of Governor Xue, It is natural for the courtier to plead for him, but she is not just for Governor Xue. The courtier is also the Great Zhou and is also a subject of His Majesty. Governor Xue is the pillar of the country, and she is connected with the territory of the Great Zhou and the Great Zhou. Thousands of people around you must not be deceived by dust. In fact, I don’t need to come here, because I always believe that Your Majesty has a clear mind and can distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. But if you don’t come, I will never feel relieved, until I see you at this moment. Your Majesty, I can finally feel at ease. Your Majesty has never doubted Governor Xue."

"You don't need to use this method to provoke me. I never said that I trust Xue Rongyu from the beginning to the end!" Emperor Chongning tapped his hand casually on the cases.

"Isn't it the best proof that Your Majesty was willing to marry Gillian?"

"Since you have thought clearly, why haven't you thought of another possibility? I am the emperor of Dazhou first, and Gillian's uncle second. I married Gillian to Xue Lin to please and to impress! What's more? , even if I believed him at first, I may not believe him now. After all, people’s hearts are fickle. It is a fact that he concealed military information and did not report it. I can even punish him immediately!"

"Your Majesty!" Mingyi was so surprised that she suddenly raised her eyes, and what she saw was Emperor Chongning leaning on the back of the chair, with a pale face, and a pair of eyes that seemed gentle, but in fact it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger. Holding her.

Mingyi suddenly sweated through his back, and suddenly banged his head on the ground, "Your Majesty, I apologize for your trespass. Today's Zhou Dynasty seems to be peaceful, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent. If Your Majesty punishes Governor Xue at this time, it will be tantamount to committing suicide." Destroying the Great Wall, I don’t believe that Your Majesty would be so confused!”

"You are really overstepping your bounds. How dare you say such a thing?" Emperor Chongning lowered his voice slightly.

"Your Majesty, don't you just want to hear the truth? If it is the truth, why don't you dare to tell me?" Mingyi replied sonorously, truly fearless.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the Zen room, as if even the air was frozen.

Mingyi didn't dare to raise her head, her forehead was still pressed against the ground. In the silence where a pin drop could be heard, she vaguely heard the sound of cold sweat falling from her forehead and splashing on the ground.

"Hahaha!" The suffocating silence was broken by Emperor Chongning's sudden burst of laughter. Mingyi raised her eyes blankly, and saw Emperor Chongning's face turned cloudy, smiling and reaching out to lightly nod her, "I'm really glad that I let you marry me in the end. This can be regarded as a mistake. You are so courageous, but you are a perfect match for Xue Rongyu."

"Your Majesty." Mingyi was still a little confused, but vaguely knew that what she was worried about might not happen.

As expected, Emperor Chongning suppressed a smile and said seriously, "Don't worry! As you said, I'm not confused yet. So, just go back and wait."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mingyi was so happy that she quickly saluted and stood up.

Emperor Chongning looked at her and smiled warmly, with a hint of ridicule, "You have risked your life to plead for Xue Rongyu today. If this matter reaches his ears, I will hear that the two of you are deeply in love." Don’t you think it’s strange anymore? Isn’t it wonderful that my messy mandarin duck chart can lead to an unparalleled good marriage?”

"Your Majesty..." Mingyi thought that it would be nice if she and Xue Lin could respect each other as guests, but she was afraid that the day would not come as Emperor Chongning expected.

Emperor Chongning thought she was a little girl and was shy, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore, so as not to make you embarrassed. It's rare to go out, so go and play with Gillian!"

"Yes!" Mingyi knelt down, "I just happened to go to offer incense sticks to the late empress to express my condolences!"
