After I had a false relationship with the emperor, he

Chapter 196 Fire
"Your Majesty's words are wrong. I am ashamed of the world, my parents, and the monarch. Why does Your Majesty give me such a glass of wine?" Xie Zhuo said slowly, as if nothing in the world could cause him any disturbance.

It is because of him that he has been on the throne for three full years, and the people of Nanyue Kingdom only know the famous Prime Minister Xie, but not him as the king.

And Cui Ming, for his sake, he has never been allowed to touch him in the past few years...

Why?
How could Xie Zhuo deserve these?The admiration and reverence of the world should belong to him, the emperor.

Li Xiuqi laughed out loud suddenly, "Your Excellency, you have read poetry and books, haven't you heard a sentence?
"Under the whole world, is it possible that the king's soil leads the shore of the land, and is it the king's ministers."

The king wants the minister to die, how dare the minister dare to resist?
"I've heard it before, but does your Majesty want to be a wise ruler who will be famous forever, or a foolish ruler who will leave a bad name forever? I don't think this should be a dilemma."

"you!"

Seeing Xie Zhuo and Li Xiuqi slowly put away his anger again, he said with an indistinguishable expression: "Could it be possible that the Prime Minister has forgotten that Ming'er is still in Huarong Palace?"

"Did your majesty also forget the original request of your majesty's assistant?"

"you!!"

The tense atmosphere in the imperial study room remained high, and Eunuch Wen was already frightened by their comings and goings and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Where is Seventh Brother? This county mainly sees Seventh Brother, and you, Xiao Xiao, dare to stop him?" Changle County Chief's domineering voice sounded outside.

"See Princess Changle, His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the imperial study room tonight, and the princess is invited back to the mansion."

"My princess has something to ask Brother Seven, why don't you just leave me?"

"The minister obeys orders, and I hope the princess will not make things difficult."

"What if the Princess wants to make things difficult?"

"Forgive me for offending."

Within a short while, there were sounds of fighting outside. Princess Changle was practicing martial arts, and her kung fu was also good, fighting on par with the guards.

Li Xiuqi in the imperial study pressed his temples with a headache, "Tell Changle to go back."

"Yes, this servant is going to invite the princess back." Eunuch Wen carefully put the glass of poisoned wine on the table beside him, and then backed out.

However, in the blink of an eye, Princess Changle rushed in. She looked at Li Xiuqi and asked with serious eyes, "What are you going to do, Brother Seven?"

"Changle, is this your attitude when talking to me?"

"Brother Seven, Brother Xie is right, you are not doing what you are doing!" Princess Changle frowned and glanced at the glass of poisoned wine on the table, and said loudly.

Li Xiuqi glanced at her expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Changle, recognize your identity clearly, am I the emperor or are you the emperor? You are also worthy to make my decision."

After speaking, he laughed mockingly, "Ming Jun? You don't need to judge whether I am Ming Jun or not!"

"Changle doesn't mean that, it's just that brother Xie has done what he has done in the past three years. Changle is just different. Seventh brother will regret it later."

Princess Changle took a deep breath to calm down, and persuaded seriously.

"It's so obvious to all. It's obvious to all of you that I'm no longer the emperor!" Li Xiuqi's chest was heaving and he was no longer as gentle as usual.

Huarong Palace.

Cui Ming counted the time, Xie Zhuo should have received her letter by now, but she felt more uneasy than before.

Cui Ming knocked on the table unconsciously, thinking about countermeasures calmly.

Her eyes stayed on the burning candle in the corner for a long time, then she got up suddenly and walked over.

"Miss?" Xiangyun asked in a low voice as she followed behind her without knowing why.

"Wait a minute, the fire is burning, let's take the opportunity to go out."

"Miss, what did you say?!" Xiang Yun was shocked.

She glanced at her calmly, and the other hand had already picked up the candlestick, "I need to go out to find the emperor now."

Reason told her that she should stand still now, and once she took this step, there would be no turning back.

But her intuition told her that Xie Zhuo must have entered the palace.

She can't stay here without knowing it now, she has to go out.

Using her as a threat is also something Li Xiuqi can do, and she must not allow such a thing to happen.

She is now trapped in Huarong Palace, she is too passive, so she has to seek other ways to break the deadlock.

Xiangyun watched anxiously as Cui Ming lit the curtain beside him as if nothing had happened, moved his lips or closed his mouth.

Miss has always known how to measure and advance and retreat better than her.Since she decided to do this, she must have a reason.

After a while, the flames rose up, and Cui Ming pulled Xiang Yun who was still in a daze to take a few steps back, carefully avoiding the flames.

Cui Ming picked up the handkerchief from the side, dipped it in water, and handed it to Xiangyun, and then covered his mouth and nose with the wet handkerchief, and said to Xiangyun in a vague tone: "You go to the outer hall and wait for me, I will be there in a while." Come out, remember to be careful, don't make any noise, and mess up your clothes and hair a little."

The fire is not big now, if the guards outside find out that something is wrong, they will definitely come in to put out the fire immediately, then all she has done will be in vain.

Xiang Yun hurriedly nodded, and retreated cautiously.

Cui Ming took the candlesticks and lighted them in several other places, and waited until the fire in the inner hall grew stronger, then tore off the beaded hairpins on the bun and threw them on the ground, and then messed up the very luxurious dresses.

She quickly ran out of the inner hall, pulled Xiangyun to knock on the tightly closed gate of Huarong Palace.

Xiangyun slammed on the door and shouted loudly, "Come on, come on, it's water, it's water!"

The fire behind him grew bigger and bigger, and Xiang Yun almost roared at the top of his voice.

Not a moment later, the gate opened from the outside, and a group of Habayashi soldiers looked at the situation inside, frightened and frantically went to fetch water to put out the fire.

"See empress, what's the matter with empress?" A Yulin soldier ran over and asked Cui Ming nervously.

Cui Ming shook his head, Xiangyun suddenly appeared from the side, she pulled the arm of the Yulin soldier and asked him to fetch water to put out the fire.

The Yulin Army was stunned for a moment, seeing that Cui Ming hadn't spoken, he immediately joined the team to put out the fire.

Xiangyun opened his voice, chattering and roaring, and pulled the group of Habayashi soldiers who put out the fire at once.

She secretly exchanged a look with Cui Ming, and Cui Ming nodded, taking advantage of their confusion, and was about to slip aside.

However, before taking a few steps, the commander of the Yulin Army suddenly stepped forward and blocked Cui Ming's way. He said to Cui Ming respectfully: "Empress, Your Majesty has orders. No matter what happens, your empress is not allowed to leave Huarong Palace." Half a step."

Cui Ming glanced at him quite innocently, and raised his chin towards Huarong Palace, where the fire was spreading nearby, "What does the Commander mean to let me go back to Huarong Palace now?"
