Zhong Liye looked at the two rows of kneeling ministers below. He hadn't come to the palace for so long after arriving in Chicheng just to plan for him to surrender to them today. Is he really deposed?

He was silent for a while, and when everyone had no idea what was going on, the voice came slowly.

"The Marquis must have entered the palace as soon as he arrived in Chicheng. After a long journey, it's better to do this. They all happened to be here. I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some wine and food, and I thought it was to welcome the Marquis." The atmosphere should have been dull.

However, he was easily led astray by his words. Everyone was stunned for a while, but they felt that the emperor was influenced by the threat and was changing the topic.

The Marquis was still kneeling upright on the ground, his face full of uprightness: "If the Emperor does not agree, I am afraid that I will not be lucky enough to enjoy the Emperor's reception banquet."

The smile on the emperor's face dropped: "Does the Marquis really think that I should depose the queen?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present had unusual expressions on their faces. The ministers had relaxed expressions on their faces, and they were happy to accept that the emperor was finally willing to give in. And his father-in-law may have known it because of their understanding, or perhaps because of the experience he received from the Queen.

Well, after hearing the emperor's words, he frowned and quietly retreated to one side.

Facing the emperor's questions, the Marquis did not say anything, but continued to kneel.

"If I don't issue the imperial edict to abolish the queen today, I'm afraid the Marquis won't believe my words, right?"

Originally, if the emperor said it, even if he just said it, it would be regarded as an oracle. However, now faced with the emperor's words, the Marquis took advantage of the situation and said: "Please give the emperor an edict immediately."

Zhong Liye had a peaceful smile on his face: "I have always been a person who loves talents. Does the Marquis think that if I am not deposed, I will no longer be worthy of serving as an official in such a court?"

"I have always admired the emperor's love for talents, and I am willing to do everything for the emperor. However, the empress is a witch in the people's mouth, which is an ominous sign. If the emperor does not send her out of the palace, then I will have no choice but to resign and retire.

Return home."

"What do you think, adults?" he changed his voice and asked the officials present.

Ministers, you look at me and I look at you. Then, one of them stood up and said, Your Majesty, what Mr. Zuo Xiang said just now makes sense. The Marquis is the number one general in the country. With the strength of the four countries, it is actually true.

We should not let the Marquis resign and return to his hometown. I hope the Lord will think twice." Even though the Queen was not mentioned explicitly, it was clearly stated in the words that if there was a choice between the two, it would be the Marquis.

Zhong Liye glanced at the ministers and understood better than anyone else that since these people came into the palace with such severe symptoms, they naturally understood better than anyone that today, the matter regarding the Queen must be settled.

"Come here." Zhong Liye shouted, and all the ministers looked at each other.

Two guardsmen immediately ran in.

Zhong Liye glanced at the Marquis who was still kneeling on the ground: "I have always felt that the fall of a country is due to the incompetence of the monarch. As for beauty, it is just a matter of face and blaming the fault of the country's fall on women. Since I became the queen,

The queen is dedicated to taking care of

There have never been any mistakes in the harem. On the contrary, you have always suggested the candidate for the queen, which has never made me worry. Since the Marquis feels that he cannot coexist with the queen, I will not force him to come and take it off.

The Marquis put a black gauze on his neck and sent it out of the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

No one seemed to have expected that the emperor would act like this, and everyone was shocked.

His father-in-law quietly exited the Jinluan Palace and walked to Longyang Palace.

Bei Muqing was staying in the room chatting with Si Xi. She sat upright when she saw her father-in-law coming in a hurry. Her father-in-law always followed the emperor, so it was inevitable that he would come to her now.

It makes people wonder what happened to the emperor.

She didn't ask questions out loud, waiting for her father-in-law to calm down before explaining what it was.

"Slave, this slave is here to see you, your Majesty."

"Don't be anxious, tell me slowly if you have anything to do." Beimu Qing asked her father-in-law to take a breath.

Si Xi stood aside and just watched without speaking.

The father-in-law took a look at Si Xi and knew that Si Xi was one of the empress’s own, and the empress never concealed her own people, so he didn’t mind Si Xi’s presence: “Empress, the Marquis of Anling and all the ministers

We entered the palace and are now in the Jinluan Palace."

"The Marquis of Anling?" Bei Muqing frowned, it was just a Marquis entering the palace, why did he come to tell her specially?

"Your Majesty, Lord Anling is Concubine Feng's father."

Bei Muqing nodded, indicating that he understood, so it is not difficult to understand why. It seems that the Anling Marquis said something else related to her? He looked at his father-in-law as a question, but said,

He didn't say anything, he just looked at her like this.

His father-in-law calmed down. He came here to tell his wife what the Marquis proposed to the Emperor, so that she could be prepared. Originally, if it was just the Marquis' suggestion, there would be no need to pay attention to it. However, after listening to the Emperor's words

Those words were very satisfying to the Marquis, so his father-in-law came

Tell the empress. He has no ability to stop the advice of the ministers. As for the emperor, there is no guarantee that he will not be persuaded by the many words. The empress has always been a smart person and knows what is best. Now he can only

I can tell my queen the matter and let her figure out a solution on her own.

Everything was told to the Empress, including which officials had entered the palace. She emphasized the Marquis's proposal and the Emperor's soft tone, and was worried that the Empress would not understand these words.

He listened to it as a joke or didn't care. It wasn't that he couldn't trust the emperor, but it was good to have multiple ideas. At least if there was any accident in the future, he could still protect himself.

After listening to what his father-in-law said, Beimu remained silent and pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

His father-in-law looked at the Queen and said, "My Lady, if you need me for anything, you can give me orders."

Shuqi had been listening to it for a long time and was filled with indignation. Now when she heard her father-in-law's words, she immediately expressed her position: "My queen, if you need anything, you can also tell your servants."

Bei Muqing looked at the two of them and smiled: "My father-in-law, you should go back to the emperor first. Don't let anyone find out that you have come to Gaomi, otherwise you will get into trouble. As for Sixi, it seems that

, It’s time for the emperor to come back, Sixi, prepare some delicious food for the queen to taste when she comes back."

The two looked at each other in confusion at the Queen's instructions.

"Didn't you say that you can give me whatever you want? Just do it quickly."

"Yes, empress." The two of them saluted and left.

Bei Muqing walked to the door and looked at the cold wind outside. She was really not worried about this matter at all. She had this kind of trust in the emperor. Whether it was his love for her or his ability.
