Canglan Empress

Chapter 54
There were quite a lot of people sitting in the brocade shed, the emperor and empress, the four concubines in the harem, the princes, the three princesses, and the maids who shuttled between the seats to pour tea and wine.

After the fifth princess said these words, almost everyone looked at Xuanyin with some subtle meaning in their eyes.

Some people take pleasure in other people's misfortunes, some people are interested, some people drink alcohol out of their business, and of course, those who are a little less courageous lower their eyes unconsciously, trying to reduce their sense of existence.

Only Jimo Lingtian looked composed.

Holding a glass of fine wine in his hand, he sipped slowly, with a relaxed expression, as if he was watching the laughter among the children, without the slightest strange emotion on his face.

Xuanyin raised her eyes and glanced at the speaking princess, her dark eyes were as calm as snow.

She obviously didn't have any expression on her face, but the smile on the 16-year-old Princess Wu's face disappeared little by little, and then a barely noticeable blush slowly appeared.

Such a gaffe made Jimo Linghua a little ashamed: "You... What are you doing looking at Ben Gong like this?"

The queen frowned, turned her head to look at her daughter's obviously shy expression, frowned, and couldn't help but squeeze the armrest of the phoenix chair tightly.

what happened?

"Princess's praise." Xuanyin withdrew her gaze indifferently, as if she hadn't noticed Jimo Linghua's shyness at all, and casually raised her lips, "The emperor is the emperor, and this general is the minister. I still understand the relationship between the superiority of the emperor and the minister. What the princess said is not afraid of the powerful... This general does not seek glory and wealth, nor will he commit treason and treason, so naturally there is no need to be afraid."

"That's a righteous speech." Jimo Yuanshu sneered, "If you don't seek glory and wealth, why do you enter the court as a general? You won't do anything to conspire against the country. It is too early for the major general to say that. You minister, at the beginning of entering the court, he never thought of rebelling, so the major general can guarantee that he will not go astray for the rest of his life?"

As the voice fell, the air seemed to condense instantly.

"Yuan Shu!" Concubine Shu's face changed suddenly, and she reprimanded sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the major general rebel?"

Jimo Lingtian didn't speak, and leaned on the dragon chair expressionlessly, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

The queen's lips were slightly raised, and she sneered almost imperceptibly.

Make a noise, make a noise.

The louder the noise, the better.

Although this major general of the Huangfu family is not favored by her now and cannot be used by her, if he can take this opportunity to make King Yuan lose his position in the emperor's heart, it would not be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

Being reprimanded by Concubine Shu, Jimo Yuanshu obviously realized that his words were impolite, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

Immediately he stood up, left the seat and knelt down, pleading guilty in fear and trepidation: "I beg your father to forgive me, I have no other intentions."

The emperor glanced at him indifferently, "You seem to really want to see that the major general I've used so much has the intention of rebelling and committing rebellion?"

This sentence carries great weight.

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Shu and Jimo Yuanshu's faces paled instantly.

"I don't dare!" Jimo Yuanshu kowtowed, "I beg my father to learn from me!"

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu definitely doesn't dare to have such thoughts." Concubine Shu also explained eagerly, "Shu'er was only impulsive because of... because of the incident with the former Major General..."

"Because of what happened in the past?" Xuanyin smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, don't want to frame me casually. That...what kind of thing is it referring to?"
