Chapter 356
Mu Qingyu is not completely ignorant, of course she knows that the carriage of the general family members can enter several doors, and the distance to go is not long.

Is this the old emperor beating her again, or did the eunuchs do it on purpose?

Fortunately, even though there were seven bends and eight turns, and a long walk, we finally arrived at the place.

The old emperor is in the Palace of Qinzheng.

Mu Qingyu has never learned the specific etiquette for seeing a driver, but there is nothing more than kneeling on the left and right. She doesn't want to kneel, but at this time, she can only reluctantly say: "Mu Qingyu, the daughter of the people, pay homage to the emperor!"

Qinzheng Hall is the place where the emperor reviews the memorials on weekdays, although the emperor also likes to take the memorials to the imperial study room for approval.

This hall is huge, the bluestone slabs on the ground are tightly stitched together, it is cold and cool, the table is at the top, and there is a large open space in front of the table, enough for dozens of people to sit in a row.

The emperor occasionally summoned courtiers here.

The emperor was condescending, looked at the girl kneeling on the ground and saluted, and said majesticly: "Raise your head!"

Mu Qingyu straightened her back and raised her head.

Although the emperor is only fifty, he looks older. There are already wrinkles on his face, especially at the corners of his eyes. His eyes are also cloudy, but occasionally there are flashes of light.

That is not the light in the eyes of a master of internal strength, but the oppression of dignity in the eyes of a person who has been in a high position for a long time.

However, Mu Qingyu didn't care about these things.

Although she was kneeling on the ground, she was like a proud plum with a straight back and a plain face.

The emperor looked at her for a long time before saying: "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Why didn't you choose the white silk and poisoned wine that I sent people?"

Mu Qingyu said: "The emperor has no intention of taking my life. If I choose, it will be against the emperor! So I don't choose!"

The emperor snorted and said, "The granddaughter of the Pei family?"

Mu Qingyu raised her head abruptly, and saw a trace of resentment in the old emperor's eyes. Although the resentment disappeared very quickly, she still caught it.

What does it mean?
The emperor is dissatisfied with the Pei family?
Because of that white-eyed wolf Mu Mingyuan?
She said: "Go back to the emperor, my grandfather Pei Ji, my uncle Pei Shichen, my late mother Pei Yi! The daughter of the people Mu Qingyu!"

The emperor said coldly: "You are very capable. After you divorced King Liang, you let King Liang cover it for you; you are not willing to be in the house, and you let King Chu run for you! You played with my two sons in the palm of your hand, Do you think that the royal family is nothing more than this? My son is nothing more than this?"

Mu Qingyu's eyelids drooped, covering the fluctuations in his eyes.

She paused and said: "Minnv and Liang Wang have no fate. It was a wrong beginning. Wouldn't it be good to end like this? Since the emperor has clearly checked the truth, he should know that Minnv and Liang Wang are both being plotted by others!"

"Hmph!" The little girl had sharp teeth.

Mu Qingyu said again: "Monarch and ministers, father and son, brother, husband and wife, and friends are the five ethics. There is etiquette and righteousness between monarch and minister, there is flesh and blood relationship between father and son, there is love between husband and wife but there are differences between inside and outside, and there is a difference between old and young. There is an order of honor and inferiority, and there is the virtue of honesty among friends! Morality is orderly, and morals are bound up! Since there is no true love between husband and wife, and each other is just resentful, is there any need to continue such an ethical relationship?"

"Are you complaining that my sage made a mistake and ordered you to marry King Liang?"

Mu Qingyu bowed his head and said: "The emperor misunderstood. The emperor has everything under control, so the great summer is prosperous and the people are prosperous, the country is prosperous and the people are safe! This is where the emperor is wise and powerful, but the emperor manages everything every day, and those villains are plotting things , Your Majesty does not have the eyes of the Jade Emperor, so it was a wise move to make such a holy order that day!"

The emperor's muddy eyes flashed again, he snorted and said, "Continue talking!"

"Your Majesty's move is wise, and the Minnv and the King of Liang are also deeply grateful for the grace. It's just a matter of affection, and there is no way to force it. The Minnv and the King of Liang are not in harmony, and they are drifting away. This is against the Emperor's original good intentions. Then Isn't it the best result to be separated from each other? The letter of divorce was written for the king of Liang, and the minnv did not fabricate it. The emperor clearly checked. The king of Liang wanted to divorce his wife, and the minnv also wanted to divorce. The minnv and His Royal Highness the King of Chu He is a friend, and he has absolutely no intention of disturbing or taking advantage of him, he just wants to live a peaceful life! Your Majesty, please be careful!"

The emperor said coldly: "Mu Qingyu, you don't think that with just a few sweet words of yours, I will be fooled by you, right?"

Mu Qingyu said calmly: "In front of Shengwei, how much does a minnv weigh? Dare to play tricks in front of the emperor? It's just telling the truth. Since the emperor has Xu Minnv's third choice today, he didn't even think about wanting a minnv." Fate, Your Majesty is a wise Majesty, the daughters of the people are honest about what they think in their hearts, if there are any inappropriate words, please forgive me!"

The emperor sneered: "The one on your left is a wise king, and the one on your right is a wise man who knows everything, but she can speak! If she is as eloquent as you, she probably won't fall into that situation!" His eyes were cold Yes, looking at Mu Qingyu, but it didn't seem like he was looking at Mu Qingyu.

These words made Mu Qingyu confused, is it him or him?Who is he (she)?

But at this moment, she couldn't answer.

The emperor did not speak, and for a moment, there was silence in the air.

Mu Qingyu felt a strange feeling in his heart again, something is wrong with this old emperor today.

She didn't think that the old emperor would let her go just by saying a few words like that.

But now, the old emperor is in this state, as if he is looking at others through her, and the expression on his face is also very strange. vicissitudes old man...

This is simply fine.

She had to be careful, if she suddenly made a sound, the old emperor opened it in the wrong way, and she might be given another glass of poisoned wine.

As for the person the old emperor saw through her, she also had some guesses in her heart, but that guess was too weird and unbelievable, so she had to suppress it heavily.

She lowered her head, trying to minimize her presence.

But the old emperor suddenly said: "Raise your head, what are you doing with your head down? Are you guilty?"

Mu Qingyu: "..."

All right, you are the boss, you have the final say.

Mu Qingyu had no choice but to straighten her back again, and then, the hall was silent again.

The old emperor looked at her, and after a while he said: "After I knew about the divorce letter, I didn't want to keep you. The reason why I gave you a third choice was not because I was soft-hearted, but because I promised you uncle."

Mu Qingyu raised her eyes abruptly, and saw a look of nostalgia in the old emperor's muddy eyes.

She asked softly, "What did my uncle... say?"

The old emperor stood up, walked out of the desk, and walked into the hall. He was tall and majestic in a dragon robe, but he was nothing more than an old man.

He stood in front of Mu Qingyu, and said: "Back then, Pei Shizhen, as a sixth-rank riding school, dared to violently beat my third-rank officials, and he didn't know how to hide his tail, so he was sued in front of me!"

 Thank you for your two rewards!thanks thanks!
