C126 A Trap Set by the Enemy!

He placed the wine glass on the table heavily and looked at Si Yaohe and the others with a fierce look in his eyes.

The person next to him shivered.

Si Yaohe and Empress Zhang looked at each other. Si Yaohe said, “What do you want to talk about, General He?”

He Dongzhi said, “It’s simple. We have to give you ten cities and the humiliation that happened to us in Canglan. We have to get it back. Dongchi has to give it to us. He has to give it to Princess Jin’an, who is your queen and your daughter.”

“We regret that he died. It was a mistake made by the late emperor.” Si Yaohe tried hard to look sad. Si Yaohe stood up and walked to He Dongzhi. He patted He Dongzhi’s shoulder to comfort him.

However, he was furious in his heart. It was just a woman and a child. He was just a general. He dared to talk to an emperor like that.

Moreover, the woman in Canglan deserved to die. She was a woman from an enemy country. She was not content staying in the harem. She tried to persuade the late emperor to give up attacking Canglan. She even said that she would die with Canglan even if she had to die. She would not let the late emperor attack her mother’s country.

“You can kill your wife and daughter because of your excitement? Is that something a human can do?” He Dongzhi sneered. The hatred in his words was obvious.

“Many years ago, when you saw that our Canglan was weak, you gave up on the marriage and attacked Canglan instead. You even killed our Canglan’s princess. This is not something that can be easily settled.”

He suddenly pulled out his sword and pointed it at Si Yaohe. “Why don’t we use His Majesty’s life to pay back the lives of Princess Jin An and her daughter? The Si Family has many princes and princesses anyway. Let’s just forget about this. From now on, Canglan and Dongchi will not owe each other anything. What do you think?”

The people from Dongchi were all stunned. The Empress shouted, “He Dongzhi, what are you trying to do?”

The noble woman gritted her teeth and used this chance to protect Si Yaohe. She thought that her body was protecting Si Yaohe. “Your Majesty, don’t be afraid. I won’t let her kill you even if I die.”

Her eyes were filled with tears and her shoulders trembled. She looked like she had lost a lot of her bones.

He Dongzhi threw his sword away. “Heh, I was just joking with Your Majesty. Your Majesty has a loyal woman who is not afraid of death.” The sword stabbed into the pillar and trembled.

The noble woman did not care about that anymore. She took the chance to crawl into Si Yaohe’s arms. “It’s good that Your Majesty is fine. I won’t live if Your Majesty is in trouble…” She was about to say something when she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Si Yaohe was so scared that he immediately sent someone to find the doctor. The banquet went back to normal as if what happened just now was just a joke. He Dongzhi raised his cup and drank all the wine in it.

“Your Majesty, I am also a good daughter. Xiao Ren said that he would get justice for Canglan. Why don’t we… dig out the tomb of the late emperor and burn his bones to avenge the daughter and son?”

“Are you kidding?” “Then you are humiliating the Eastern Charm Imperial Family! You dug out the tomb of our ancestors?” Si Yaohe almost exploded.

“Didn’t the Eastern Charm Imperial Family humiliate us too? They even killed the daughter and son.”

He Dongzizhen didn’t back off. He looked at Si Yaohe and said, “Your late emperor’s face is your face, but is our daughter’s life worthless?”

“That’s true, but the late emperor is gone. Isn’t it a bit rude to burn the tomb of the late emperor? We can consider other things.” Si Yaohe said.

Gu Jun’an, who was peeling the shrimps for the little guy, looked up and said, “In my opinion, we don’t need to go through so much trouble. Let the Eastern Charm Imperial Family write a letter of apology and move the tomb of the late emperor out of the ancestral temple. That will be enough to apologize to Canglan and Jin’an.”

“How is that possible? We didn’t kill Jin’an!” It was impossible for him to apologize.

Gu Jun’an was waiting for him to say that. He stood up and said, “Let’s go. There’s nothing to talk about. When the Eastern Charm Imperial Family is destroyed, General He, burn the ancestral temple of the Si family.” Lan Qingqian, who was full of food, left.

He Dongzizhi put away his sword and left as well.

The first official negotiation broke…

The Empress muttered, “Your servant’s information is correct, right? The West Province is trying to get involved in the war. Your Majesty has to deal with Gu Jun’an first.”

He Dongzizhi left and the two of them talked in a low voice, “Do you think he will write a letter of apology and beg for forgiveness in the name of Dongchi?” He was a little uncertain.

“Other than that, the Empress Dowager has been urging the Imperial Court. She said that the food and armies are almost used up and wants to recall the army. However, His Majesty is at the border and has been suppressing the letter.”

He Dongzizhi had already made the worst plan. If he could not get an apology that would be announced to the world, he would have to return some cities and make up for it. The order from the Deceased Emperor might not be completed well.

Gu Jun’an held Lan Qingqian, “It’s impossible to ask Si Yao to write a letter of apology to Canglan. However, if you only ask for the memorial of Chang Ci Emperor, do you think he will agree? As for the stubborn corpse, it’s not possible to do it on the surface but if you do it in secret, no one will dare to do it. Who will still blame you?”

“However, the imperial tomb has always been heavily guarded. It’s not easy to move an emperor’s tomb.”

Gu Jun’an smiled, “The emperor’s tomb has a secret mechanism. You just gave her a chance to return the favor. It’s not impossible for you to ask her to return the favor.”

He Dongzizhi understood what Gu Jun’an meant.

The pampered person who was pretending to be unconscious was lying quietly in the room. When she heard the voice of the Imperial Physician and the Emperor, the door opened. The pampered person immediately closed her eyes, waved her hands and shouted, “Don’t hurt His Majesty! Don’t! If you want to kill me, kill me!”

After struggling for a while, her eyelids loosened slightly. When she opened her eyes, she was already barefooted. She rushed towards Si Yaohe who had just come in, “Your Majesty, are you alright?” Her voice was filled with nervousness and fear. She threw herself into his arms.

She was already beautiful, and she was also a loyal person who would die for him. Si Yaohe naturally looked at her in a new light. He had all kinds of women in the palace, but there were not many who would sacrifice their lives for him.

“You are so protective of me. You are not afraid? You used to be very timid,” Si Yaohe said.

“Your Majesty, you scared me to death. I can do anything for you, but Your Majesty must not be harmed,” the pampered person’s voice was filled with grievance. Si Yaohe’s heart was beating fast.

When Empress Zhang came to see Si Yaohe, the palace maid said that the pampered person was resting at the Emperor’s side.

“Fox Charm!” Empress Zhang glanced at the darkening hall and left. She had underestimated this Fox Charm. She had been guarding the place strictly. She did not expect that she would find such an opportunity to get close to the Emperor!
