Wishful Things

What kind of nonsense is this?

Give him all these underworld things!

If this is the case, if the dog emperor wants his granddaughter to enter the palace, as a thank you, wouldn't it make sense for him to cut off the other party's dog's head? !

When Li Ji heard the old man's ridiculous laughter, his heart pounded even more.

He knew about Duke Zhen being poisoned, and Duke Zhen had probably already learned from the military doctor who ordered it...

Therefore, the current situation is that Duke Zhen knew that the emperor wanted to kill him——

As for the real intention of this imperial decree conferring on the noble concubine, how could Lord Zhen only think of the good?

Thinking about this carefully, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Ji's back.

"The emperor's heart, I appreciate it. But this old man is just such a granddaughter, and I don't want her to enter the palace to be a concubine." Zhen Guogong raised his hand and stroked the top of the girl's head beside him. indisputable meaning.

Li Ji was embarrassed with a smile: "Duke..."

"Okay." Duke Zhen raised his hand to interrupt him, then stretched out his hand, and said solemnly: "I know that you are also obeying orders, so I don't want to make things difficult for you—and give this imperial decree to me. I will go and explain to the emperor."

Looking at the big hand stretched out in front of his eyes, Li Ji hesitated for a moment, before offering it with both hands.

Anyway, he has no ability to force the government of Zhen Guo to accept this decree...

In the current situation, it is better not to make too much trouble, and then add fuel to the fire.

After all, regardless of the overall situation, he still wants to leave the Zhen Guogong Mansion alive today...

Holding the imperial decree, Duke Zhen immediately ordered his servants: "See off the guests."

"Yes!" A servant came in with a loud voice.

Qin Wu took a look - good guy, isn't this the same as the general when he just woke up?

This feeling of full confidence as long as the general is around does not seem to be unique to him.

"Then we will bid farewell..."

"Let me say my goodbyes."

Several people saluted and retreated. As soon as they left the front hall, they heard the cold voice of the old man behind them with a trace of disgust, and ordered: "Throw all these things out for me and tell them to take them away."

The word "throw" made Li Jibei feel hot. As the chief eunuch in charge of ceremonies, when had he ever received such cold treatment or even humiliation...

But he knew in his heart that Duke Zhen's cold face was actually for the emperor...

Therefore, he dared not speak even more, just pretending that he didn't hear it.

The group of people came in a big way, and when they unloaded the rewards in front of the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion, they had already alarmed several families outside the square.

At this time, he was kicked out in disgrace, and the things he brought were also thrown out of the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion, which was noticed by many curious people.

"Why did things get thrown out..."

"I heard that Duke Zhen is back..."

"Then what are these people doing here?"

Listening to the low voice of discussion, two officials from the Ministry of Rituals got into the carriage with red and white complexions——

"What are you doing here... It's embarrassing!" One of them sat down in the carriage and said with a sigh.

"Okay, let's be ashamed and just be ashamed..." The other looked at it very openly, and was even a little rejoicing: "Just don't lose your life..."

Didn't you see the knife hanging on Duke Zhen's waist?

Just now when he looked at it, he was secretly frightened, for fear that Li Ji would say something that Lord Zhen would not like to listen to. Thank God, fortunately, Li Ji is also afraid of death...

In fact, when it comes to fear of death, these civil servants are not all so timid. After half a lifetime of reading sage books, it is impossible to say that they do not have the slightest backbone——

If they really encountered something related to the country, it would be okay to tell them to risk their lives.

But what is this called today?

They don't know that Duke Zhen is returning to the capital, how could the emperor not know?

And to send this imperial decree before Duke Zhen entered Beijing, it was clear that he wanted to use the girl from the Xu family to blackmail Duke Zhen...

Both of them had clearly realized this, and they were silent with complex expressions at this moment.

Duke Zhen's overly tough attitude today is also worth pondering...

The matter of his illness in Dongyuan City, I am afraid it is not that simple...

And to put it bluntly, death is not terrible, I am afraid that death is not worth it--the current emperor is getting more and more insane, and he does not listen to persuasion, and the things he does every time are people disagree, and it is even more useless to the people of the country, the country, and so on. How many people in the court are willing to die in vain for such a monarch?

"Grandfather, why don't you see Second Uncle come back together with Ming Shi?" In the hall, Xu Mingyi helped Duke Zhen Guo sit down in the chair, poured tea for him, and asked.

Grandfather's body must not be well maintained, but he must be extremely tired after traveling all the way.

"I'll hurry back first, and let them walk slowly behind..." Zhen Guogong said at this point, his voice lowered: "They will not enter the city for the time being, but will return to the camp with the army."

Xu Mingyi could hear it clearly.

Cui's heart trembled slightly, the old man arranged all the people who got in the way outside the city...

There is no delay in the family, and there is no need to worry about big things when the time comes!

Thinking of what might happen next, Cui began to quickly calculate in her heart, and she should make arrangements for her family as soon as possible...

"Is grandfather in better health now?" Xu Mingyi asked.

"It's much better." Zhen Guogong said to his granddaughter with a smile: "Thanks to that doctor Qiu for taking care of me all the way."

It is even more thanks to his family, Zhao Zhao, and his future grandson-in-law, otherwise his old life might really have to be handed over to Dongyuan City.

"Then Dr. Qiu and Uncle Yun didn't go to the city with grandfather?"

Lord Zhen Guo nodded: "I have other things to tell Yun Liu, he needs to arrange things in the barracks—"

As for Dr. Qiu, he has helped him a lot, so it is not appropriate to bring his savior into this city to take risks, he will have to leave the city sooner or later, the less people there are, the more convenient and clean it will be to act.

Xu Mingyi listened to this, and thought about her grandfather's attitude when he faced Li Ji just now—that attitude was indeed very cold and hard in the eyes of outsiders, but she could see that his grandfather had even tried to soften his treatment as much as possible.

Grandfather did this to leave room for both parties.

She thought that her grandfather should have already made a decision, or even a countermeasure.

Ming Shi once mentioned to her in a letter that he met His Highness King Yan in Dongyuan City, and the prince didn't leave until after his grandfather woke up...

When Xu Mingyi wanted to ask further questions, he saw the old man who had drunk half a cup of tea put down the teacup, picked up the imperial decree on the coffee table and stood up, saying: "Zhao Zhao, grandfather needs to go to the palace to return this imperial decree. To the emperor, the rest of the matter cannot be fully explained for a while, and we will talk about it in detail after we get back."

And besides returning the bullshit imperial decree, which was whimsical every word and every word, and made it clear that he wanted to die early and get out of life early, he also had to settle the accounts with the emperor over the past few days-those Since the emperor has done something immoral, he can't be afraid of being known.
