Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 488 The Grand Finale (17)
What they are asking for are three insignificant little girls, but what they are giving is the antidote that can control the emperor, or in other words, the poison that can kill the emperor. The emperor can naturally weigh which one is weaker.

"He still has a bit of humanity, but how can I guarantee that the good medicine you brought is true and not just another conspiracy?" The emperor said coldly.

The emperor's words were not wrong, however, Uncle Shou Chang seemed to have expected this, and at the same time as the antidote, there was also a letter written by Shou Chang and a book on witchcraft.

Wanqing presented the letter to the emperor, the emperor read it and said: "You go down."

Wanqing knew that the emperor's medicine had been trusted by three points, so she made a big gift and said: "My wife wants to see Uncle Shouchang's daughter and my sister, please forgive me."

What he was talking about was the word of grace, which was the most polite word in Wanqing Jin Yushu's emperor's letter. Maybe the emperor felt a little better after reading the letter from Shou Changbo, and there was a smile on his lips: "Ma'am It’s a lot more tactful.”

Wanqing acted as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in the emperor's words, lowered her head, lowered her eyebrows and treated the ninety-five-year-old emperor with a childlike temper.

The emperor waved his hand to summon the chief eunuch, and Wanqing retreated. Outside the imperial study, Shangguan Yeli was waiting for her. Seeing that Wanqing's face was normal, she was relieved. Wanqing pulled him to go out. Shangguan Yeli But he said to the chief eunuch: "I would like to ask your father-in-law to report again. Your son Jing Ninghou has something important to report."

The chief eunuch was stunned for a moment, Shangguan Yeli had just left, why did he have something important to report again all of a sudden, seeing his seriousness and calmness, the chief eunuch hesitated for a while, then entered the imperial study room, and there was a sound coming from the room. The emperor said in a slightly cheerful voice: "Let his husband and wife come in."

Wanqing followed Shangguan Yeli into the imperial study room again, the emperor looked at Shangguan Yeli with a clear look, but Shangguan Yeli's face was not good-looking, there was an undercurrent in the two eyes, and the atmosphere was a little bit Nervous, the chief eunuch looked gloomy, and Wanqing subconsciously shook Shangguan Yeli's hand.

"Your Majesty, I have something to present to the Emperor." Shangguan Yeli looked away first, lowered his head, his attitude seemed respectful, his tone was sonorous and forceful, with a hint of firmness.

"What is it? I have to like it." The emperor said casually.

Shangguan Yeli took off the piece of jade from Wanqing's neck in front of the emperor, and handed it to the chief eunuch together with the small brocade box given by the old matriarch.

The emperor was really moved. This is a treasure secret that the Shangguan family and the Ouyang family have kept for decades. The emperor has used many means and spent a lot of effort to get it. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yeli would be so easy He took the initiative to hand it in, which made him a little bit unconvinced for a while.

After taking a look at the jade and brocade box, the emperor turned his head to look at Shangguan Yeli with deep eyes: "What do you mean by Aiqing? Isn't this jade your family heirloom?"

"It is a family heirloom of the Shangguan family and the Ouyang family, but I have no luck to accept it. Since it is a treasure, I think the emperor needs it more than the minister. If I can use this treasure to strengthen my great Zhou, it can be regarded as the Ouyang family and the Shangguan family. Your family's contribution to the court." Shangguan Yeli said neither humble nor overbearing.

The emperor stared sharply at Shangguan Yeli for a long while, then looked at Wanqing for a whole night, and finally showed a slight smile and said: "It's rare that Aiqing understands righteousness so well. Sincerity, the things are accepted."

Shangguan Yeli let out a sigh of relief, bowed his head and bid farewell to the emperor.

Wanqing was confused by Monk Zhang Er. Although the couple is not interested in treasure hunting at all, they can make a lot of money and create such wealth by themselves. The place where the entire Ouyang family lost their lives, Shangguan Yeli gave it to the emperor so easily, wouldn't they be afraid of being scolded by Ouyang and Shangguan?
"I will hand over everything I can. If he bothers you again, I will take you to Beirong and never come back again." Shangguan Yeli whispered in Wanqing's ear before the chief executive came out.

It turned out that during the eye contact, Shangguan Yeli had already wrestled with the emperor and made a deal, Wanqing couldn't help laughing, that's right, that piece of jade was not a good thing in the first place, how many people died because of it, and passed away How much blood is just a dead thing, and keeping it on your body is also a disaster. It is better to dedicate it to the emperor, which saves a lot of trouble. Shangguan Yeli even gave the most important family heirloom to the court without reservation. It's not too fatuous, and I shouldn't bother you again.

Now that there is an antidote to the emperor's life, and the treasure that the emperor peeped at, Shangguan Yeli and his wife have nothing to worry about and plan for the emperor. The future life should be much simpler and happier. If not, this Marquis Jingning's wish to be crowned prince, Shangguan Yeli wished that the title would be resigned.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Wanqing saw His Highness the Crown Prince standing in the corridor outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, standing on the fence with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, inside the Forbidden City, court ladies and eunuchs were coming and going, lively and full of energy, beside the Prince There wasn't a single guard standing there, and although his back was stalwart, there was a sense of loneliness and loneliness. Shangguan Yeli paused, and stepped forward to salute.

The prince seemed to have recovered from his contemplation, turned around and saw Wanqing was there, a gentle smile slipped through his cold eyes and said, "Isn't the father embarrassing my younger siblings?"

The prince is still called a younger brother and sister, which made Wanqing feel close and relaxed, and smiled and said: "My wife is now an ambassador. The two countries have mutual relations, and if you don't kill me, the emperor is wise and didn't make things difficult for me."

The prince smiled when he heard it, and looked up at the familiar hairpin on Wanqing's head, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Concubine Yan always talks about you in front of this palace, so I will come to the palace to see you when I have time. Just look at her."

Wanqing bowed her body to agree, and she also missed Wanyan very much, but she was very busy these days, and there was a filial piety at home, so it was inconvenient to go out to visit guests, so she didn't go to the East Palace.

When it was time to visit Wanyan, Wanqing presented an exquisite box to the prince respectfully with both hands: "Thank you for your kindness, if it wasn't for the special gift from your highness, my wife might never see you again." Zhou's landscape is gone, and now that the minister's wife has returned to the country safely, naturally she can no longer keep His Highness's property, so the property will return to the original owner, Your Highness, please take it back."
