Chapter 76 The Past

"Oh, Lan Xiang! Why are you overjoyed? After this incident, the old lady of the Ai family will not be happy!" Seeing Lan Xiang standing up, the queen mother softened her expression.

It seemed that he found that standing outside the palace and being angry with the emperor could not solve anything, so he simply walked lightly, surrounded by the queen and others, and walked into the Longgan Hall.

The emperor hurriedly recruited someone to help Zhang chair and the seat slightly lower next to him, but when the queen mother passed by Lan Xiang, she paused, tilted her head and smiled, "Lan Xiang thinks, will King Dingbei rebel?"

Faced with the Queen Mother's sudden question, Lan Cheng didn't show any surprise on his face, he just bowed slightly, but his elegant smile was slightly put away, and Huo Jingtian turned his head to look at it, so he said seriously to the Queen Mother, "Empress Dowager, from the bottom of my heart, I can't believe this! I really don't want such a thing to happen!"

"Hehe, Prime Minister Lan and King Dingbei once galloped on the battlefield together, and the friendship between them is incomparable to ordinary people!" The queen mother chuckled, as if suddenly remembering something, and asked doubtfully, "I remember that King Dingbei and Prime Minister Lan were at that time Have you ever worshiped brotherhood?"

"Mother, why did you forget me? At the beginning, I and Dingbei Wang Lanxiang fought against the enemy together on the battlefield. They cherished each other and became brothers! Speaking of which, I am still the eldest brother!" Speaking of the past, the emperor's face His dignified meaning also retreated a lot, his expression was full of emotion, as if he recalled the high spirits of his youth.

"Oh? And the ranking?" The Queen Mother seemed to be suddenly interested, "The emperor is the boss, so is Xiang Lan the second or the youngest?"

"My humble minister has falsely extended King Dingbei for four months!" Lan Xiang replied respectfully.

"Oh, then King Dingbei is the youngest!" The queen mother shifted her gaze not far away, and her expression was full of Huo Jingtian who was cold and silent.

At this time, Huo Jingtian's eyes were all on Yun Biluo, and he didn't notice the queen mother's question. It was the official behind him who could finally regain his senses.

The queen mother didn't care about his rudeness, but followed his gaze and looked at Yun Biluo, and then turned her gaze back to Lan Xiang, smiling meaningfully, "Back then when you returned triumphantly, Ai's family was in the palace. Set up a banquet to welcome the soldiers, girl Bi Luo, at that time the Ai family had just accepted you as their daughter, it was at that time that you first met our three heroes from the Eastern Wasteland!"

The Empress Dowager suddenly cast her eyes on Yun Biluo, Yun Biluo's eyes were clear and indifferent, even though she was wearing a veil, the fairy spirit around her was also fascinated by people's eyes.

"What the queen mother said is true!" Yun Biluo obviously didn't like to be stared at like this, nodded slightly and answered the queen mother's words, then lowered her head, and didn't say much.

However, the Queen Mother seemed to be pulling up homework, with a teasing look on her face, "King Dingbei is so lucky to marry my precious daughter! Prime Minister Lan, are you right about what the Ai family said?"

Huo Jingtian, who was not far away, heard this, his eyes flickered, and there was a touch of tenderness on his haggard face.

Lan Cheng didn't speak, just nodded respectfully, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he tightly clenched his hands under his robe.

At this time, Yun Biluo pulled the queen mother down, and said angrily, "Queen mother, all the officials are here in Longgan hall, how do you talk about this? The letter of reconciliation between the boy and King Dingbei was written by you personally, why don't you write it?" Can't you count?"

As soon as the word "heli" was uttered, Huo Jingtian was struck by lightning instantly, his face was as pale as paper, when he was discussed and rebelled just now, he didn't have any violent fluctuations, but at this time, because of Yun Biluo's words, he was instantly shocked Serious blow.

Seeing Huo Shuishui hiding behind a bunch of wives, his heart ached!
Lan Cheng's expression was radiant, and his tightly clenched hands were loosened.

The Empress Dowager seemed not aware of the shock and joy her boring question brought to others, she just smiled and asked no further questions, and was accompanied by the Empress to the high seat.

Yun Biluo and the others retreated to the corner with courtesy.

"Report—" With a resounding cry, an officer hurried into the hall, cupped his fists at the emperor, and said respectfully, "My Majesty, I have finished negotiating with the army outside the imperial city!"

"Say!" The emperor only had a plain word, but it caught everyone's attention. Everyone turned their eyes to the officer, and each of them looked nervous.

Only Huo Jingtian, who seemed to be in a daze after suffering a huge blow, only cast his eyes on the corner where Yun Biluo was, and ignored everything else.

Just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others will ignore him!

The officer glanced at Huo Jingtian unconsciously, pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, with an unbelievable look, and said, "The deputy general of the Dingbei Army led the army to shout outside the imperial city, please let the king of Dingbei go out of the city immediately. soldiers, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" The emperor's face was as gloomy as ice, with an imposing manner!

"Otherwise, send troops to the imperial city and slaughter the people!"

"Waiting an army in the imperial city? Slaughtering the people? What a bold tone! How courageous!" The emperor shouted angrily, like a broken silver bottle, which made the atmosphere of the entire Longgan Hall tremble!
All civil and military officials bowed their heads and trembled!

"King Dingbei!" The emperor turned his eyes and pointed at Huo Jingtian, "What do you have to say?"

Huo Jingtian looked at Yun Biluo with a haggard expression. Under such a situation, the beautiful woman still did not raise her eyes to wait and see. Huo Jingtian felt sad and turned his head. Facing the emperor's questioning, he was arrogant, "My lord, I didn't order anyone Swing the army to the imperial city!"

Although it was a rebuttal, it seemed so powerless and pale because of the disheartened posture!

A sharp light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he remained silent, as if considering the credibility of Huo Jingtian's words.

Seeing this situation, an official standing behind Lancheng stood up and asked, "My lord, since you said that it has nothing to do with you, then show evidence, otherwise, facing the clamor of the rebels outside the city, you will let the Holy Majesty and me How can I trust you?"

"Evidence?" Huo Jingtian suddenly turned his head to look at the official, with a domineering expression on his face, and sneered, "My lord, I said that you are the one who rebelled!"

"My lord, you can't spitting blood at others, how dare you do something rebellious?" the lord Wang said urgently.

Huo Jingtian smiled mockingly, "Since Mr. Wang said no, please show evidence to prove it!"

"I..." Mr. Wang was blocked by Huo Jingtian's backlash, he was speechless for a moment, his face flushed, he carefully glanced at Lan Xiang, he didn't dare to speak anymore, and retreated to the back.

Huo Jingtian glanced at him wearily, saluted the emperor with a tired face, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, how can you not know what Xiao Wang is like? Xiao Wang will definitely not be able to do rebellion!"

"Then, what is your lord's explanation for the siege of the city by the northern army?" Just when the emperor showed his frustration and wanted to let go, Li Yannian, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up with a gloomy expression, and made another attack.
