Chapter 306 Protect the country for her (25)

Author: Qi Yao

Nie Chi suddenly laughed angrily, "Your Majesty, you just want me to help you with your work?"

Yuan Yao blinked and showed a pitiful expression.

Nie Chi looked at her big watery eyes and felt a dull pain in his temples.

He endured it, but in the end he had no choice but to compromise, "Your Majesty, please go back and rest early. Don't sleep late tomorrow morning and miss the morning court."

Yuan Yao understood that he had agreed.

She immediately gave a sweet smile and said, "Then I'll go back first! Uncle Huang will also go back early to rest!"

After saying that, she waved her hand, then ran a few steps forward, got on the dragon chariot arranged by Xiao Shuanzi, and went back to the palace.

Nie Chi kept standing there, watching her dragon chariot go further and further away.

After the dragon chariot turned a corner and was no longer visible, he withdrew his gaze, then looked back in the direction of Leng Gong, with a cold look in his eyes.

…

Late at night, every household in the capital has turned off the lights and gone to sleep.

But for some people, it is destined to be sleepless.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial Master looked at the Prime Minister who was sitting silently at the table with a gloomy face, suppressing his anger and asked, "Did you instigate Concubine Su to assassinate Yuan Yao tonight?"

The Prime Minister looked extremely unwilling at this moment.

"So what? If Yuan Yao is not eliminated, I will not be able to rest assured!"

"Then get rid of it?" The Imperial Master looked at him coldly, "I lost my wife and lost my troops. Are you happy, the Prime Minister?"

When the Prime Minister heard this, his expression gradually became sad.

His voice was slightly hoarse, "Ying'er no longer wants to live... Her biggest wish for the rest of her life is to kill Yuan Yao with her own hands, how can I not satisfy her?"

The Imperial Master was silent for a while and said as calmly as possible, "Now we have alerted the snake. Although with that little girl's IQ, she will not be able to suspect us, it is best to restrain herself during this period and not to be pinched by King Huai.

.”

The Prime Minister frowned, "Will Prince Huai take care of this matter?"

The Imperial Master said calmly, "It was King Huai who saved her tonight, does the Prime Minister not know?"

The prime minister was stunned for a moment and asked strangely, "What did he do to save Yuan Yao? If she died, wouldn't he be able to ascend the throne legitimately?"

The Imperial Master glanced at him and said, "So the Prime Minister also knows the consequences of Yuan Yao's death?"

The Prime Minister choked immediately.

The Imperial Master sat down on another chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and then said softly, "I know that the Prime Minister is eager for revenge, but he must be patient enough at the moment to prevent all previous efforts from being wasted."

The Prime Minister was silent for a while and then asked, "What should we do now?"

"Now we must adopt a gentle policy to appease Yuan Yao first." A hint of evil flashed in the eyes of the Imperial Master, "Didn't she say that she doesn't like someone? Then we will let her have more people around her, so that there will be no more

It’s time to go find Prince Huai to communicate with you.”

…

On the second day, news of Concubine Su's assassination of Yuan Yao spread throughout the court.

Although Princess Su had "committed suicide out of fear of crime," there was a lot of controversy over how to arrange her funeral arrangements.

Some loyal and loyal ministers believed that Dowager Su was an abandoned concubine in the cold palace during her lifetime, and she dared to assassinate the emperor, so she was not worthy of being buried in the imperial mausoleum.

However, the vast majority of the courtiers still talked about how Concubine Su was also the late emperor's concubine. She had served the late emperor with meritorious service. The assassination of Yuan Yao was just a moment of confusion and she had already committed suicide. They advised Yuan Yao to put down her prejudices.

, and added a ban to her account.

Yuan Yao listened to the noise for a while, but suddenly stopped them, and then looked at the Prime Minister who had a calm expression, "I remember that Concubine Su and the Prime Minister are also related by blood. How does the Prime Minister think this matter should be handled?

"

Facing Yuan Yao's question, the Prime Minister's expression did not change. He just cupped his hands and answered honestly, "I am deeply saddened by Concubine Su's act of such a treason and injustice. I dare not speak nonsense. Everything is based on His Majesty's will.

"

Yuan Yao blinked and turned to Nie Chi, who had remained silent from beginning to end, "What do you think, uncle emperor?"

Nie Chi glanced at the old prime minister with a faint smile on his lips, "I remember that the late emperor issued a decree before his death that Concubine Su was no longer allowed to serve in front of the emperor..."

The court fell silent.

Everyone remembered that the late Emperor had indeed issued this decree when Concubine Su was pregnant and angered the late Emperor.

But they were all still alive at that time.

Now that both of them have returned to the West, this decree... I don't know if they are still fulfilled.

After hearing this, Yuan Yao nodded without hesitation, "Since my father doesn't want to see Concubine Su, then it's really hard for her to enter the imperial mausoleum..."

Not being buried in the imperial mausoleum would be equivalent to not recognizing Su Ying's identity as the imperial concubine, let alone adding a title after her death... Then her years in the palace would be in vain.

The Prime Minister's face twisted for a moment.

He never expected that Yuan Yao would actually dare to disobey him and make such a decision.

Wouldn't this mean stamping his face on the ground?

This is really unreasonable!

However, before he could get angry, he was stopped by a look from the Imperial Master. Finally, thinking of his great cause, he was forced to calm down and hold back his breath.

After the discussion on how to deal with Su Ying ended, Yuan Yao planned to end the morning court.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to speak, the Imperial Master stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say."
