The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

When Emperor Ning Cheng finished listening to Xuan Yuan's words, his face couldn't help but darken and condense. His dark eyes stared at Xuan Yuan, with a bit of fear, horror and fear in his eyes. When these fears dissipated, , what floats in my heart is the anger born of fear.

Although Xuan Yuan spoke nicely, was very careful with his words, and even had a very respectful and serious tone, as if he was truly a loyal and patriotic person, this was not enough to dispel the fear and anger in Emperor Ning Cheng's heart.

If it weren't for the inexplicable trust in Xuanyuan in his heart, Emperor Ning Cheng would be unable to help but turn his face and hold him accountable, and be ruthless. But even if he had a different kind of trust in Xuanyuan and an unreasonable reluctance in his heart, he wouldn't be able to bear it. It means that Emperor Ning Cheng can expose this matter so easily.

As an emperor, Emperor Ning Cheng really couldn't accept this matter. Listen to what he said. After smelling the medicinal powder, he would fall asleep directly and start to have dreams of all his wishes coming true. He even thought that what happened in the dream was real?

Emperor Ning Cheng's nerve belonging to the emperor was touched, and he was immediately on full alert. Xu Qingning had such a method, what if he had malicious intentions? I'm afraid he has already died in his unknown sleep!

With suppressed anger on his face, Emperor Ning Cheng's eyes were stern, and his tone was cold and full of suppressed anger: "You actually used this kind of powder to deal with me? Did you know that this was an attempt to kill your Majesty? It seems that your Xu family is really brave. You dare to deceive the emperor and plot against the emperor!"

Even if Emperor Ning Cheng suppressed his anger, he was powerful and majestic. If it were the officials or other concubines in front of him who had faced him, he would have been so frightened that his face turned pale, his face was as trembling as chaff, and his legs were weak and he knelt down to apologize.

Unfortunately for Xuan Yuan, it was worse than the breeze blowing on his face. He still replied calmly: "Your Majesty, please make it clear that this kind of medicinal powder is not harmful to people, and it is not as scary as your Majesty thought. Let the person who smells the powder fall asleep without knowing it.”

"Sniffing the medicinal powder can indeed make people fall asleep, but this sleep-promoting function is very mild. As long as there is a slight external interference, His Majesty can wake up. There is absolutely no situation where His Majesty is sleeping soundly and unaware of the world."

The anger in Emperor Ning Cheng's eyes dissipated slightly and became softer, but his anger and fear had not completely dissipated, so his expression remained cold and he said coldly: "Are you telling the truth?"

Xuan Yuan smiled as if nothing had happened, with a very calm expression: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, why not find someone to test it later. If there are facts in front of you, I think Your Majesty will believe it."

Seeing that he was so calm, Emperor Ning Cheng's anger and suspicion dissipated a little. He pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Okay, you used the powder to make me unconscious. I see that you have really taken care of my body." For my sake, I don’t have to pursue it.”

"But..." He narrowed his eyes dangerously, a dark look flashed across his eyes, "Xu Qingtian escaped from entering the palace and left home, and you entered the palace in his place, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor, do you Shen family still recognize it? deny?"

Xuan Yuan took a breath, with a look of helplessness and coldness on his brows: "This matter is indeed caused by the lax goddaughter of the Xu family. Now we are fully pursuing the whereabouts of Xu Qingtian. Once we bring her back, Your Majesty can do whatever you want to do with her. "

"Oh, your Xu family is so ruthless." Emperor Ning Cheng naturally heard the meaning of giving up Xu Qingtian in Xuan Yuan's words, but he sneered in his heart. Throwing out Xu Qingtian could easily erase this intention of bullying the emperor. crime? It's too simplistic.

Hearing Emperor Ning Cheng's ridicule, Xuan Yuan lowered his eyes, and his tone seemed a little cold and cold: "She has harmed the entire Xu family for her own selfish purposes and put us in a dangerous situation. Now I have nothing to do with her anymore." The relationship between brother and sister is naturally not tolerant."

"I know that the Xu family has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Please forgive us for the crime of deceiving the emperor because we didn't know about it beforehand and it was really out of necessity to deceive the emperor. Please spare our lives." Xuan Yuan raised his head. He looked at Emperor Ning Cheng and "pleaded" with great earnestness.

No matter what the reason is, no matter how many coincidences and how many problems there were before such a situation could occur, it has to be said that the Xu family did indeed deceive the king. It was a blessing to be able to save a life. If Xu's father If you still want to retain your official position, it is a fantasy that Xu's father still has his previous status.

What level of character do you really think you are? Don't be too confident. This kind of crime of deceiving the emperor is already rare to save the lives of the Xu family, let alone Xu Yuan, without making Emperor Ning Cheng into a puppet and obeying his orders wholeheartedly. The family retains its status and power.

Emperor Ning Cheng looked at Xuan Yuan coldly, his eyes were extremely cold, and he tapped the armrest with his right index finger, looking thoughtful, but did not immediately say what to do with the Xu family.

Seeing Emperor Ning Cheng's appearance, Xuan Yuan suddenly realized what he was saying. He sighed softly and said with great sincerity: "Your Majesty, please be aware that although I entered the harem as a man, I will definitely not mess up the harem. Your Majesty, please rest assured. "

Emperor Ning Cheng:... Damn it, I forgot about this! Yes, he was a man, and this man actually pretended to be a woman and entered his harem. This, this, he suddenly felt that his head seemed to have a different color.

As the saying goes, if you want to live a decent life, you must always have a little green on your head...

"Your Majesty should know that I have never left the palace where I live since I entered the palace, and I have never agreed to visits or invitations from other ladies. I dare say that I have never met any of your Majesty's ladies since I entered the palace. !”

Xuanyuan was very calm when he said these words, because it was the truth. Whether it was because he was lazy or because he wanted to avoid suspicion, no matter what the reason was, he had never seen other concubines before and he was very law-abiding.

Emperor Ning Cheng stared at Xuan Yuan without saying a word. There seemed to be a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes. He snorted coldly and suppressed the strange trust in his heart: "Even so, at most it will only spare you the crime of messing up the harem. The crime of deceiving the emperor will also be punished severely, and it is normal for you and your whole family. "

Very good, the topic has turned around and back again, and returned to the issue of how to punish the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Xuan Yuan clicked his tongue, feeling a little helpless. He knew that for emperors and men, it would hurt their self-esteem to have their chosen concubine run away from home instead of entering the palace. Most men could not bear this kind of thing. Let alone an emperor?

Moreover, if word spreads about the man entering the palace, no matter how "housed" Xuan Yuan is in the harem and has never met other concubines, bad words will spread. Even if Xuan Yuan is in the palace during this period, If any of the concubines were pregnant, they would be suspected of having impure blood.

But there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being, because Emperor Ning Cheng has not summoned any other concubines in the more than a month since Xuanyuan entered the palace.

"Then what does Your Majesty want to do with the Xu family?" Xuan Yuan suddenly laughed, his brows filled with a bit of unruliness and freedom. If Emperor Ning Cheng didn't change his mind, he didn't seem to have any good way to reverse the situation - Unless it's by violent means.

However, Xuan Yuan really didn't want to do this for Xu Qingning's mission.

Because he himself doesn't have much sympathy for Xu Qingning, and he doesn't feel that he is pitiful - yes, he was innocent and was implicated, but doesn't he know what kind of character his own sister is? Why not take precautions in advance? Why did you have to be fooled by Xu's mother?

The so-called pitiful people must be hateful. Xuan Yuan was not too sympathetic to Xu Qingning's experience, and naturally he had no intention of doing anything tough to the really innocent Emperor Ning Cheng in order to save the Xu family.

When Xuan Yuan asked him such a direct question, Emperor Ning Cheng, who had no good plan for dealing with the Xu family, suddenly choked up. He really wanted to speak directly and say that the whole family would be executed, but he didn't know why he couldn't bear it.

And now the complex emotions in Emperor Ning Cheng's heart are more than the anger of his concubines fleeing the palace. This is not the anger of thunder, and naturally he has no intention to kill the entire Xu family.

In general, Emperor Ning Cheng was still a very wise emperor. Although he was angry in his heart, if he was not furious, it would be difficult to directly order the entire Xu family to be executed.

Keenly aware of Emperor Ning Cheng's hesitation and compromise, Xuan Yuan pursed his lips slightly, and a smile quickly flashed across his eyes, but his expression soon became solemn, and he replied seriously: "In fact, ordinary people would be so overstepped. There is another reason why Li took the risk to enter the palace instead of Xu Qingtian. "

Emperor Ning Cheng frowned: "Oh? What else is the reason?" Probably because Xuanyuan spoke slowly and paused in reply, and his attitude was natural and calm. Gradually, Emperor Ning Cheng couldn't find the feeling of anger anymore. , asked with a stiff face at this time.

"The Xiongnu envoys came to the capital to pay homage. There seems to be a hidden conspiracy. The common people know some martial arts. If they enter the palace and take precautions secretly, they will be able to protect His Majesty and prevent His Majesty from being seriously injured." Xuan Yuan looked up and stared at Emperor Ning Cheng. Call someone serious and pious.

Emperor Ning Cheng sneered: "Protect me? Just you?" Although he remained silent here, the contempt and disdain were still beyond words, almost coming out.

After giving Xuan Yuan a cold look, Emperor Ning Cheng stood up and said, "It seems you have nothing to explain." He turned around and walked towards the door of the inner room in a strode. Before going out, he said coldly, "I am temporarily I won’t punish you, and we’ll talk about this after Xu Qingtian is found!”

Xuan Yuan pursed his lips slightly and remained silent, with no intention of stopping Emperor Ning Cheng.

He strode out of the door. Emperor Ning Cheng ignored everyone's greetings and walked directly outside Yimeixuan with a flick of his long sleeves. Li Dezhong hurriedly climbed up and followed closely behind him.

"Jia Xiurong was demoted to Xu Changyi. From now on, he will not be allowed to visit Yimeixuan. He will not be allowed to leave or leave without an edict!" Emperor Ning Cheng dropped these words with a dark face and left Yimeixuan without looking back.
