I was imprisoned by the Empress at the beginning, and I was secretly invincible

"What did you say?"

Hearing the old minister's suggestion, Ji Luoyao's eyes widened in anger, and she stood up in a flash.

She looked at the old minister in disbelief, as if she had heard something unimaginable, and asked word by word: "You want me to... bow my head to him and admit my mistakes?"

What a joke, the king bows his head to his minister?

This is the opposite of Tiangang.

How could there be such a thing in the world?

The old minister looked indifferent. He was not afraid of the empress's punishment. Instead, he persuaded him earnestly:

"Your Majesty, don't act on impulse!"

"This is all for the stability of your country. Just admitting your mistakes can save your country. Is there any better deal than this?"

"No matter how big your face is, can it be bigger than the sky? Besides, as long as you don't say it, who will know that you admitted your mistakes, right?"

"..."

After listening to the old minister's rebellious remarks and his self-deceiving statement, Ji Luoyao was so angry that she was furious.

If the man in front of her was not the old minister, she would have wanted to slap him to death.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to restrain the strong impulse in her heart.

Then she said loudly, "Impossible! I will never admit my mistakes to him! Never!!!"

At this point, she glanced at the old minister coldly: "You can go if you want, but I will never go anyway."

The old minister curled his lips. He wanted both the inside and the face. There was no such good thing in the world.

If possible, he, an old man, would not mind losing face.

But the problem is that he has no friendship with the Duke of Weiguo, and he has no face at all.

Then he suddenly thought of someone, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said in a hurry: "Maybe there is someone who can invite him!"

Ji Luoyao's expression froze when she heard this, and she hesitated for a moment. She looked up at the scenery in the distance, and seemed not to care, and then asked calmly: "Who?"

For the empress's hypocritical attitude of wanting to refuse but also to welcome, the old minister was too lazy to complain, and quickly said a name: "Old Master!"

"Old Master?"

Ji Luoyao frowned slightly.

The old master was the chief academician of the Imperial College and one of the leading figures in the literary world of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When she imprisoned Jiang Hao, the old master led the students of the Imperial College to plead for Jiang Hao.

Ji Luoyao would naturally not feel unfamiliar with him.

"But some time ago, Prince Duan went to Tianlao to ask Jiang Hao to come out of seclusion, but Jiang Hao refused without hesitation. Even if the old master has some friendship with him, can he still surpass Prince Duan? I'm afraid it will be useless..."

The old minister smiled and shook his head, and quickly explained:

"No matter how good the friendship between Prince Duan and him is, it's just a personal friendship, but the old master is different. The old master once did him a great favor. To be precise, the old master once saved the lives of his parents."

"Although the parents of Duke Weiguo have passed away due to illness, the favor is there, and Duke Weiguo can't deny it."

"And Duke Weiguo has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. If there is a favor, he must repay it. You say, if the old master personally invites him to come out of seclusion, with the grace of his parents saving his life, can he still refuse?"

Ji Luoyao pondered for a moment.

Based on her understanding of Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao is indeed the kind of person who will repay a drop of water with a spring of water.

The reason why Jiang Hao helped her so wholeheartedly before was because when no one was optimistic about Jiang Hao, she gave Jiang Hao a chance and gave him the greatest trust, so that this young man with an unknown status had a stage to display his talents.

Then, Jiang Hao's return to her was also beyond imagination.

Before that, she was just a princess with good cultivation talent, and she never thought that one day she would rule the world and become the unique Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two of them have been complementary all the way.

Thinking of the past, Ji Luoyao couldn't help but feel dazed.

She couldn't help asking herself, with Jiang Hao's character, if she didn't take action in advance, would the other party keep his original intention?

She didn't know, but people would change, and no one would stay the same.

Because the position is different, the ideas will also be different.

Even she has changed, how can Jiang Hao stay the same.

Of course, whether it changes or not, it doesn't matter now. It's too late to say anything now.

"As far as I know, the old master has always been pedantic and stubborn, and his personality is very rigid. If he is asked to use his past kindness to threaten others, I am afraid he would rather die than do what we want."

Ji Luoyao pondered for a moment and spoke again soon.

The old minister nodded, approving the empress's judgment.

"The old master is indeedThis is the kind of person who would never agree to this matter, let alone if I ask him. Even if Your Majesty issues an order in person, he will never agree to this matter. He has been teaching and educating people all his life, and his personal morality is impeccable. He is a role model for the world. He never owes anyone anything in his life, only others owe him..."

Speaking of this, the old minister couldn't help but flash a trace of pity in his eyes.

He sighed helplessly, stamped his feet fiercely, and complained: "I have been upright all my life, but I didn't expect that I would still plot against someone like him when I am old. It's really a sin!"

Ji Luoyao's face turned black after hearing this.

But the old minister did this to help her, and she really had no right to say anything.

This old man may have a bad temper and a harsh mouth, but there is one thing that is beyond doubt, that is - the other party is really wholeheartedly for the Great Zhou!

After a while, the old minister finally said a solution: "It is definitely not okay for us to go to his house to ask for help, but it is okay for ordinary people to go to his house to ask for help, because... a gentleman can be deceived by a method! "

"Can a gentleman be deceived by tricks?"

Ji Luoyao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately blurted out, "Will this method work against Jiang Hao?"

The old minister looked up at her and shook his head.

"The Duke of Wei may not be a villain, but he is definitely not a gentleman. As the saying goes, a merciful man cannot command an army. If he is cruel, the people of the world are just numbers in his eyes. If you want to kidnap him morally, there may be some hope in the next life."

Ji Luoyao looked disappointed, and couldn't help but think of the last time she was in the sky prison. No matter what she said, Jiang Hao was indifferent. He was indeed a heart of stone.

"Then I'll leave this matter to the old minister. I will give orders and let others help with all their efforts! "

The old minister nodded, and after the ceremony, he dragged his tired body and walked out step by step.

His cultivation talent was average, just like Jiang Hao at the beginning, and he was not a martial arts expert.

In addition, he was nearly a hundred years old, and his body was getting worse and worse. I am afraid he could not hold on for a few more years.

Looking at his figure going away, Ji Luoyao felt a sense of sadness for no reason.

There were not many people she could trust in the court. If even the old minister was gone, she really didn't know who she could trust.

A lonely person!

At this moment, she finally understood the meaning of this word.

She sat there quietly, looking at the sky outside. Suddenly, there was a storm outside, and the cold wind was bleak.

At this moment, she felt even more lonely in her heart, as if she was the only one left in the world.

In the cold palace, a faint murmur sounded:

"If I hadn't sat in this position, would everything... be different?"
