Chapter 51 Learning the truth
Because of what happened at the banquet, no one mentioned the agreed competition anymore.
Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, Leng Qing ended the banquet early and invited the team leaders from various countries to come to the palace tomorrow to discuss the friendly competition with her.
The envoys were eager to go back as soon as possible because they had to discuss the next policy to be implemented towards Dongxia.
After the envoys left, Leng Wuqin and the Minister of War stayed behind.
The Minister of War looked extremely bad. He had just been kicked by the assassin and his shoulder was almost killed. Fortunately, Doctor Wen was guarding in the hall and reconnected it.
"My two beloved ministers, do you have something to ask me?"
"Your Majesty, please do not do anything as dangerous as today again."
"Where's the danger? It's quite fun."
The Minister of War was so angry that his face turned green. They were all worried about her, but she was fine. In her eyes, this was just a joke, right?
The Minister of War took a deep breath to suppress his anger and silently brainwashed himself: "This is the emperor, this is the emperor, this is the emperor, you can't hit him or scold him, you have to talk to him nicely and don't lose your temper."
"Your Majesty, please consider the hearts of your old ministers in your future actions. They really can't stand being frightened too much."
"It's okay. There will only be more and more such incidents in the future. You just need to know that I am very strong and can handle them without asking for help."
The Minister of War was so angry that he almost fainted. Leng Wuqin couldn't bear to watch it anymore and patted the Minister of War on the back.
The Minister of War, who had always disliked the Prime Minister, now liked him.
How could it be easy for him, an old man in his fifties? How come this young emperor finally became tough and lost his previous composure?
Could it be that he was really driven crazy by those filthy people?
"Your Majesty, in the future, if you can let the secret guards handle this kind of thing, don't do it yourself. There is really no need to dirty your hands."
"I know, but the three of them are the culprits behind the massacre of Zhong Cuigong. They all shit on my head, and I can't stand this."
Leng Wuqin's expression changed immediately. Those three people were the ones who almost killed his daughter. Why didn't he take advantage of the fact that they were trapped and stab them twice?
Regret!
"Yes, holding in anger is bad for your health. You should let it out when you need to."
The Minister of War was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He knew that Leng Wuqin was not a good person, a traitor! A complete traitor!
"Alright, Minister of War, go back and rest. I'll pay attention to this when I get to know you."
The Minister of War snorted coldly, saluted and left.
Leng Qingyi was really afraid that he would anger one of the few good officials in the court and cause something bad to happen.
If the Minister of War was not an upright person, the treatment of the soldiers would be even worse. The two meals a day were all negotiated by the Minister of War at the Ministry of Revenue.
"Prime Minister, is there anything else?"
"I want to see the little pear beside the emperor."
Zhongli Yuan, who was still in a trance, had not yet come to his senses when he was called. He stared at Leng Qingyi, trying to see the answer he wanted to know through Leng Qingyi's eyes.
"Niuniu, when did you learn martial arts?"
"what?"
Zhongli Yuan came back to his senses and met Leng Wuqin's worried face. Only then did he realize that he was now Leng Qingyi, Leng Wuqin's daughter.
"Father, I was really frightened by what happened today. I was taught martial arts by the Emperor recently. How could I live with the Emperor without some self-protection skills? I haven't learned anything yet."
Leng Wuqin didn't know what to say when he saw his good daughter who could fight with the top masters in the martial arts world.
This didn't teach the soldiers who trained hard in the coldest and hottest days of winter how to behave. But when I think about the fact that it was the emperor who taught them, I'm not so surprised anymore.
Even as an outsider, he could see that the emperor's skills were much better than those of the top masters. He thought he had some kind of adventure.
It makes sense that the secret guards around him were all masters who taught their daughter a few moves.
Everyone has their own secrets, and he just wants his daughter to be safe.
"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with the three assassins?"
"I'll torture him severely for a few days first. Anyone who hurts me will be repaid a hundredfold. If I can use you, I'll use you. If not, I'll kill you."
"I think so too. After all, it would be a waste to kill such a top expert directly."
"If the Prime Minister is upset, go to my dungeon and give me a few whips."
"That's not necessary. I believe Your Majesty can handle it. I'll take my leave now."
"Nie Yueming, send me off to the Prime Minister."
After everyone left and only Leng Qingyi and Zhongli Yuan were left, Zhongli Yuan was still staring at Leng Qingyi, as if he could see through people.
"who are you?"
"Ok?"
Leng Qing, who was sitting on the table with half of her butt sideways eating fruit, was a little confused when she heard Zhongli Yuan's serious question.
"Who are you?"
"I am the Son of Heaven."
"You know that guy, right?"
"Who?"
"Give me these secret guards."
"That's it."
"Where is she? Is she okay?"
"She's not very good."
"why?"
Leng Qing leaned on the armchair beside him and sighed.
"Because she has lost her freedom."
"Where is she? She's so strong who can trap her?"
Leng Qingyi looked at the indignant Zhongli Yuan with resentment.
At this moment, Zhongli Yuan's eyes were red and his expression was ferocious, as if he wanted to eat alive the person Leng Qingyi mentioned next.
"Who else? You."
Zhongli Yuan's body trembled and he looked at Leng Qingyi in disbelief.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that it's because of you that I'm trapped in this palace and become a miserable emperor."
Zhongli Yuan's pupils trembled violently, and he staggered back two steps.
"What do you mean?"
Zhongli Yuan is very nervous now. He hopes that the truth is that, but he also doesn't want it to be that way.
"It means that I raised a fool who was completely exploited by the ministers, and it also caused me to become like you, unable to leave the palace and wander around the world."
At this moment, Zhongli Yuan seemed to have lost all his strength and means and fell to the ground.
Zhongli Yuan didn't know what to feel right now. He was glad that he could see her again, but also annoyed that he was so bad and had to let her see him cleaning up his mess.
Leng Qingyi seemed to see the patient and strong child of that year through the current Zhongli Yuan. Now, only five or six years have passed since she left, and she has been bullied like this by those people.
"You...how did you become like this?"
Zhongli Yuan lay on the ground for a long time, not knowing how to get along with the person he thought about day and night.
"What kind?"
"How did you become Concubine Yi? And why did you leave without saying goodbye? Was there something I didn't do well enough?"
Zhongli Yuan lowered his head as he spoke, feeling somewhat ashamed.
"I really didn't do well enough and let you down. I'm sorry."
"Tsk, where's your old stubbornness?"
