Chapter 430 The Power of the Emperor (3)
After a long time, the pressure seemed to gradually fade away.Mu Qingyi let out a deep breath in his heart, but his face remained calm as if he didn't feel anything.The faint voice of Emperor Xiyue came from next to his ear: "Let's get down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Qingyi thanked her before standing up.

"The descendants of the Gu family really deserve their reputation." Emperor Xiyue said indifferently.

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty's absurd praise, Gu Liuyun is ashamed." Emperor Xiyue stared at her for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "If Mr. Liuyun has the ambition of an ancestor, why did you choose Jin'er?"

Mu Qingyi was startled, but soon calmed down again.Looking up at the stern eyes under the Xiyue emperor's crown, he said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty's words... are you deliberately suppressing King Qin just because of Liu Yun?"

Emperor Xiyue sneered, and Mu Qingyi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me. When I was in Huaguo, His Highness the Ninth Prince was kind to Liu Yun. Although we met each other not long ago, we can still be regarded as friends. Today's matter... really is Yu Is the palace suppressing King Qin? If Liu Yun does not argue for King Yu, with King Yu's temper... His Majesty must know what the result will be."

Emperor Xiyue's smile was even colder, "The people of the Gu family really talked about him from left to right, no wonder Huai'er was forced to retreat by you. But...do you think Jin'er's thoughts can be hidden from me? Sitting in this position is longer than the combined ages of the two of you!"

Mu Qingyi was silent, she never dared to treat Emperor Xiyue as a fool.But Emperor Xiyue was obviously more sensitive than any suspicious king.Rong Jin was in front of such an imperial father, unless Emperor Xiyue was willing to give him power, otherwise... what hope could he have other than rebelling and forcing the palace?

But the Emperor Xiyue in front of him obviously didn't have this plan.Even, Rong Jin's exposure to a little bit of power is enough to make Emperor Xiyue fly into a rage.What you have done these days is not perfect, but if it were another prince, Emperor Xiyue would never be so sensitive to notice it. It can only be said that Emperor Xiyue paid more attention and precautions to Rong Jin than other princes. There are too many princes.

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes, but clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves tightly.This should be the first real crisis she has encountered since becoming Mu Qingyi.She is very clear that if things here are not handled well today, not only her, but everything that Rong Jin has been planning all along may come to naught.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingyi raised her head and calmly looked at the king in the hall, and said calmly, "What does your majesty mean to say... King Yu deserves death if he is contaminated with power?"

Emperor Xiyue's face darkened, and he stared fiercely at the calm young man in front of him.Said in a deep voice: "King Yu is still young, if it weren't for you people to instigate him, how could he be ambitious?"

Mu Qingyi smiled coldly, "Are you still young? Your Majesty... King Yu will soon be 20 years old. What were you doing when you were 20, Your Majesty? What was His Highness Prince Yu doing? And the other princes in the court, 20 years old. What were you doing when you were young? If His Majesty insists that His Royal Highness Prince Yu dare not taint power, and if His Majesty truly loves King Yu Dingxia, Caomin will definitely demote His Highness King Yu to a commoner right now."

"You are presumptuous!" Emperor Xiyue was furious, "My nine princes are born noble, how could they be demoted to common people?"

Mu Qingyi nodded and said: "That's right, the Ninth Princes are born noble. They don't have any power in their hands, and they don't have an inch of merit in the country or the people, but their status is above all the princes and grandchildren. Does Your Majesty want to roast King Yu on the fire?" Is it true that His Majesty King Yu said that His Majesty intends to take His Highness Jiu with him when Long Yu returns to heaven? I just don’t know if Concubine Mei will be happy to see her son.”

Emperor Xiyue couldn't help but stared at Mu Qingyi and said, "Even this...he told you. It seems...Jin'er is really worried..."

Mu Qingyi said calmly: "Although His Highness Ninth Prince may not be smarter than other princes, he is not a fool either."

This time, Emperor Xiyue was silent for a longer time, and finally waved his hands sadly: "You go back first."

Mu Qingyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly, "Gu Liuyun will leave."

Slowly exiting the hall, the oncoming cold wind outside the door shocked her spirits.The cold wind that he hated in the past actually made him feel like he was reborn.In the hall today, it is really dangerous.If she didn't pay attention to her words, she might not be able to get out, but in the end she chose to gamble.For a person like Emperor Xiyue, it is impossible to impress him with just perfunctory excuses, so she chose to question him directly.

"Ziqing." Outside the hall, Rong Jin, dressed in black, walked over quickly.Walking up to her, he stopped and looked her over, his gloomy face softened a little, and he said softly, "Ziqing, nothing happened."

Mu Qingyi smiled faintly, shook her head and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Rong Jin glanced at the closed palace door behind him with an uneasy expression, and pulled Mu Qingyi towards the palace gate.

in the hall

"Your Majesty, His Highness Ninth Prince and Mr. Gu have gone back." Jiang Bin stepped forward to report cautiously.He naturally heard Mr. Gu's words just now, and he was secretly sweating for that handsome young man in white.His Majesty's contradictory attitude towards His Majesty Ninth Prince can naturally be felt by those who are close to him, but this is the first time someone dared to speak out in front of His Majesty.If His Majesty was furious for a moment, the handsome young man who looked like a fairy would probably disappear that day.

"Jin'er has been waiting outside?" Emperor Xiyue asked with a frown.

Jiang Bin nodded and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, His Highness the Ninth Prince has been waiting outside for Mr. Gu. We just went back together."

Emperor Xiyue nodded, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Jin'er has never been so kind to others, and it is not in vain that Gu Liuyun dares to speak out for him, and is not afraid of my crime."

Jiang Bin carefully looked at Emperor Xiyue's face, and just now he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness and Mr. Gu are both young and energetic, so it is possible that His Majesty will still care about the younger generation."

Emperor Xiyue waved his hand to signal him to back down.Looking at the empty hall alone, he became silent, and suddenly a feeling of desolation rose from the bottom of his heart. A feeling of loneliness suddenly rose in the heart of the emperor who had never been more than lonely.When he was young, he also had close friends and brothers who were utterly devoted to each other.It's just that he didn't know when, he was the only one in this lofty palace.It's... so lonely.

Gu Liuyun said that his doting was harming Jin'er?Is that so... Emperor Xiyue shook his head, maybe so...

As soon as she got out of the palace and got into the carriage, Mu Qingyi felt a little tired and sat down in the carriage with her eyes closed, she didn't even have the energy to open them.

Rong Jin stepped forward to touch her forehead with some worry, and said softly: "Qingqing, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
