Chapter 2208 162. Eight Precious Jade Food (Dongfang Ying takes the initiative to plead guilty to Shangguan princes)
  "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wake up! Wake up!"

In front of the bed, Shangguan Marquis was holding pills in one hand and gently shaking Shangguan Marquis's shoulder with the other. Although the voice calling Shangguan Marquis was low, it was very urgent.

only--

No matter how many times the Shangguan princes called the Shangguan Marquis, he still fell into a nightmare, his eyelids were in the east, his fingers were trembling slightly, but his body was still sleeping deeply, with no intention of waking up.

This time the call ended in failure, and the princes sighed. He was very helpless about the current situation, but what could he do now?
  At this time, the messenger outside the door trotted in and whispered something into Lord Shangguan's ear. Lord Shangguan's face darkened. He handed the medicine bowl in his hand to the attendant behind him, and then slowly stood up. , and ordered to the servants——

"You are so happy to serve His Majesty the Dragon King. If you have any situation, report it in time. I have received important military matters from the emperor and have to deal with them."

Everyone bowed their heads to send the Shangguan princes off respectfully, and the Shangguan princes left in a hurry. After leaving Shangguan Marquis's palace, they turned around the corner and returned to their own palace, Lingkun Palace.

At this moment, a man in a black cloak was standing anxiously in the atrium. When he saw the Shangguan princes coming to pay him money, the man immediately knelt down on one knee and raised his fist in respect.

"I pay homage to His Highness the Dragon Emperor——"

The Shangguan princes walked straight up to the high hall, sat down firmly, raised one hand and said loudly.

"Excuse me! Why are you here today, my lord, after a long journey?"

The man in black knelt down and turned his head to the servants beside him. The Shangguan princes immediately understood the concerns of the man in black, so he waved his hand and removed the servants beside him until only the remaining officials in the room were left. When they were alone, the Shangguan princes spoke.

"There is no one else now. Master Dongfang can put away his worries and speak his mind directly."

At this time, the man in black slowly took off the hat of his cloak, revealing his true face. This face of an orphan from the world suddenly appeared in the eyes of Shangguan princes.

Dongfang Ying still knelt down, this time he was not asking for blessings, but asking for forgiveness.

"I'm... I'm ashamed. In the mission of sneak attack on the leader of Xijiang Town, I can't fail... I also ask His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to convict me..."

After saying that, Dongfang Ying bowed his head to the ground, feeling ashamed and asking for forgiveness.

After hearing this, the Shangguan princes were silent for a long time. After thinking for a while, he showed relief on his face and said warmly -

"Hey~ Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Master Dongfang is the victorious general of our clan. An accidental defeat is nothing. Don't take it to heart, sir."

Dongfang Ying is a smart man. He knows that the Shangguan princes are kind-hearted and hateful people. What he says are words of comfort, but what he thinks in his heart is probably not the case.

Therefore, Dongfang Ying did not dare to act rashly and continued to kneel down, reflecting on himself——

"His Majesty the Dragon King is considerate, but I have to reflect on my own problems. The failure of this mission, Dongfang Ying is really ashamed of his face... Dongfang Ying does not dare to go directly to apologize to His Majesty the Dragon King, for fear that His Majesty the Dragon King will hear the result. , will be disappointed with Dongfang Ying... After all... Dongfang Ying was promoted by His Majesty the Dragon King..." Hearing this, the Shangguan princes smiled slightly, and the smile was deep.

"That's right~ Mr. Dongfang has always been the confidant of the emperor's brother. He has always placed high hopes on you. If the news of the failure of the mission reaches his ears, it will be difficult for the emperor's brother not to say anything. After all, in the emperor's heart, Master Dongfang is a victorious general who can conquer all battles. The emperor only trusts Master Dongfang in the most difficult tasks. If the emperor knows that Master Dongfang has failed, Cao Yunfei will survive. It’s really terrifying…how disappointed the emperor’s brother must be…”

The Shangguan princes spoke slowly and rationally, but their words were full of needles, and their meanings made Dongfang Ying feel uneasy.

Dongfang Ying knew his master's character too well and knew that he could not escape the blame for the failure of this mission. Moreover, his son's life was uncertain. He also wanted to rely on the power of the Quan clan to find his son's whereabouts. At this time, He couldn't afford to offend Marquis Shangguan.

His own shortcomings were being exploited, but he was unlucky. He thought that he had succeeded in this mission and could claim credit in front of Marquis Shangguan and gain some fame and fortune for his son.

But now, let alone claiming credit, it is difficult to protect oneself.

"Well... I know my situation well, so I asked His Highness the Dragon Emperor to show me a clear way..."

Hearing this, the Shangguan prince's eyes became two lines, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his right hand supported his chin, and he said calmly——

"Oh? This is strange~ The Dongfang family is now the most popular member of our Quan family~ Not to mention, our Lord Dongfang Shuo is the right-hand man of my emperor brother and the most important minister in the court, and what about Lord Dongfang Ying~ Although you have always been hiding in the dark, you are in charge of the spy force of our Quan family. You two brothers work together openly and secretly. You report everything directly to my imperial brother. There is no need to tell me, the Dragon King, who is just a hypocrite. So much~ As long as Lord Dongfang Shuo has a few nice words in front of the Dragon King, coupled with the years of friendship and military exploits between Master Dongfang and the emperor's younger brother, what are Master Dongfang worried about for such a trivial matter?"

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Ying was speechless. He lowered his head and looked panicked.

When such a big thing happened, how could he not go to Dongfang Shuo?
  And when he learned from his brother that Marquis Shangguan had been unconscious for a period of time recently, his heart trembled. Firstly, he was concerned about His Majesty's comfort, and secondly, he also saw a glimmer of opportunity.

His Majesty the Dragon King is a ruthless person. He only reuses talents who are useful to him. As for those who are worthless, His Majesty the Dragon King will take into account their former face and give them a certain amount of compensation. However, the status of the Dongfang family is not as good as before. Already...

However, in just two months, the Dongfang family lost two strong generals. Dongfang Yu, who was finally trained, ended up missing and his whereabouts are unknown. He failed in such an important mission this time, and also exposed his own secrets. identity……

Dongfang Ying didn't even dare to think about the consequences. In the current situation, the status of the Dongfang family was in danger!
  Dongfang Shuo explained that the person with real power in power now is His Highness the Dragon Emperor. If this opportunity can be taken advantage of, the situation may be reversed.

Oriental Film also considers this...

Therefore, he begged to come to the Shangguan princes.

Dongfang Ying's eyes darkened, he let out a long sigh, lay on the ground and said -

"I don't dare to hide it. I have already heard that His Majesty the Dragon King has been in poor health during this period. Even if I feel sorry for myself, I'm afraid His Majesty the Dragon King may not be able to listen to what I'm saying at this time... "

Hearing this, the Shangguan princes smiled knowingly...
