Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 579 If you lie to me with just one word, I won't be able to live
As Qingniang spoke, she was about to bang her head against the pillar next to her.

The burly monk was so frightened that his heart was broken, and he didn't care that this was the throne room. He rushed over and hugged her.

He was so anxious that he shouted, "Qingniang, I didn't become a nun. I didn't abandon you and your son. Please believe me, please believe me!"

Qingniang burst into tears, grabbed his chest and sobbed, "You are not a monk, why are you wearing monk's clothes, why are you shaved bald, tell me, tell me!"

The two guards said that if she could make her husband willingly tell them the reason, they would spare his life, otherwise, he would be executed for his crime.

Rough monk: “…”

He had just sworn that he was from the Dragon King Temple, but now he was going back on his word...

"You don't want to tell me the reason, right? It seems that you really abandoned us, mother and son. You are such an ungrateful man, I will not live any longer..."

As Qingniang spoke, she struggled to hit the pillar again.

The rude monk looked at her with her trembling belly, almost fainting from crying, and even trying to commit suicide. His heart was in turmoil.

He hastily comforted her, "Okay, I'll tell you, Qingniang, don't cry, don't commit suicide, be careful with the child, be careful with the child, okay..."

Qing Niang grabbed his heart tightly, and said with red and swollen eyes: "Okay, you say, don't lie to me, if you lie to me with even one word, I will not be able to live, do you understand?"

Rough monk: “…”

Until now, there was still something he didn't understand.

They called Qingniang here to force him to tell the truth.

When he accepted the money, he promised not to tell the truth no matter what. But now, Qingniang's health is important, and he can't care about that anymore.

No matter what, he would never let anything unexpected happen to Qingniang.

He risked his life to earn so much money, wasn't it just to give them a good life? If anything happened to them, what would be the use of the money, and what would be the point of him living!
The rough monk struggled for a long time, nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay, I won't lie to you, not a single word." Qingniang seemed to be relieved, and tears fell like rain.

He forced himself to kneel down and knelt upright.

Eunuch Jixiang glanced at the emperor and said quickly, "This lady is pregnant. Please grant her a seat."

The two maids nearby immediately brought a small stool, helped Qingniang up, and sat her on it.

After Qingniang expressed her thanks, she only dared to sit on a small stool nearby.

The rough monk was grateful to the emperor in his heart. It seemed that the emperor was not as cruel and brutal as people said, as he favored his concubines and destroyed the country, and he did not kill powerful officials.

On the contrary, from such small details, we can see that the emperor is actually very kind.

Since he is a benevolent emperor, he is willing to tell the truth.

Whatever punishment was due next, he received it.

The burly monk kowtowed respectfully to the emperor, and then said in a low voice: "Half a month ago, someone found me and offered me a large sum of money to help out in the Dragon King Temple.

Qingniang is about to give birth to a baby, and will need a lot of money in the future, so I agreed without thinking.

I didn't expect that when I arrived at the Dragon King Temple, they asked me to shave my head and become a monk first.

I was puzzled, but I did it anyway. After all, the price was high enough and it was just a head shave, so it was acceptable.

After I shaved my head and became a monk, they assigned me a task. They asked me to find a way to dig a tunnel from the canal of the palace and the stage, leading directly to the Dragon King Temple.

I have been in the army for many years, and what I am best at is surveying terrain and digging tunnels. This is not a problem for me, so I accepted the task.
