C255 His Plan Had Failed and He Had to Consider the King's Heart

"It seems you are determined to reject me? Do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the king? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? " When the Emperor heard Qing Yun's words, his face suddenly turned cold. How could he not know that Qing Yun's words were all excuses. Feeling a bit of anger in his heart, he raised his voice and spoke.

"This official knows that the Emperor is a wise ruler of a generation and will not get angry because of this matter. Furthermore, Princess Jinyu is the Emperor's most beloved younger sister. How can she marry a person she does not like just like this? Emperor, you must be joking with this official. " Mu Qingyun saw the trace of anger on the Emperor's face and thought about it.

After a long time, the Emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Hahahaha. Qingyun, I can't hide anything from you. Even I wanted to joke with you but you saw through me. But I really feel that you and Princess Jinyu are quite suitable. You should think about it. " At this time, the Emperor's face was full of smiles as if he was really joking just now. However, within this smile hid a trace of killing intent that was not noticed.

"Thank you for the Emperor's good intentions, but. . . "

"Alright, there's nothing to be afraid of. You can withdraw first. The Imperial Examination is about to begin. Pingyun Prince, you also need to prepare. This time, you must definitely select a few more talents for me. " The Emperor knew what Qingyun wanted to say, so he directly interrupted before Qingyun could finish speaking.

"Yes, then this official will go and prepare right away. "

"En, go. "

After hearing that, Qing Yun cupped his hands and retreated. But at this time, the Emperor's eyes were filled with thick anger. After Qing Yun left, his hands were spread out on the desk. He pushed all the things on the table to the ground and angrily said, "Mu Qingyun. You don't know what's good for you, but I still treat you this way. If it wasn't for you, I would have let you control all the soldiers in the world. Based on what you just said, I will definitely punish you for deceiving the emperor. "

Shunzi who was at the side was also shocked when he saw this scene. The Emperor had never been so angry before. As he kept saying that the Emperor would calm his anger, he bent down and picked up the memorial.

"Noble Consort Wan has arrived. "

Just at this time, a guard outside the hall called out. Following which, Wan walked in. Seeing the mess on the floor and the frowning and angry face of the Emperor, he could roughly guess what the corner of his mouth slightly curled up and immediately returned to his usual expression. He hurriedly went forward and picked up the things on the ground as he asked with concern, "Why is the Emperor so angry? What exactly happened?"

"It's Wan, hmph, isn't it that Mu Qingyun? He is simply angering me to death. "

"Oh? Pingyun Prince? What happened to him?" Hearing the Emperor's words, she knew what was going on. Furthermore, ever since Qing Yun came to the study room, Wan already knew. She had sent people to keep an eye on it. That was why she came here right after Qing Yun left. But she still asked even though she knew the answer.

"It's still because of the betrothal matter. He actually dared to reject me. Preposterous, this is simply infuriating. " It was obvious that the Emperor had yet to calm down and his face was still filled with anger.

"Isn't that just right? The Emperor can use this opportunity to convict him of the crime of deceiving the Emperor. Wouldn't he have no more worries?" When Wan saw this scene, there was a trace of excitement in her eyes, but there seemed to be loneliness and desolation.

"Ai! Beloved concubine, there is something that you do not know. After you have said this idea, I carefully thought about it. The matter is not as simple as you said. Fortunately, I did not announce it to the world in advance, otherwise, it would really be irreparable. "

"Oh?! Why did the Emperor say so? Could it be that there is some difficulty in this?"

"Although the flames of war have temporarily subsided, it has not been completely resolved. The various countries are still eyeing Great Ming covetously. I, Great Ming, am simply lacking people like Pingyun Prince. Therefore, he still has a great use for us. We can't just kill him like this, or else the war will start again. Great Ming will lose a fierce general. "

"So that's the case. Then what does the Emperor want to do?" Hearing the Emperor's words, Wan knew that her plan had failed and was slightly disappointed.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Currently, the Imperial Examinations are near and this is the biggest matter. I want to choose a few more talents in this exam. "

" The Emperor is indeed very intelligent and it is Wan who did not think properly. I hope the Emperor can forgive her. " As she spoke, Wan gave a deep bow.

"Alright Wan, get up. I do not have any intention of blaming you. After all, you are doing this for my own good. If you want to help me share my worries, then how can I blame you?"

"Thank you, Emperor. Then I will withdraw first. I hope that the Emperor will not be too angry and it will hurt his body greatly. Don't be too angry over these matters. "

"Hahaha, alright, alright, alright. I will listen to my beloved concubine. "

After saying that, Wan gave a deep bow and withdrew. She returned to her room with a frosty expression. "Humph, Mu Qingyun, I let you escape this time. But don't be complacent. One day, I will make you die without a burial ground. "

Within the Pingyun Prince Mansion.

Qing Yun returned to his mansion, but his brows were tightly knitted. General Qu, who was leading his guards to spar with the Cloud Guardian, saw Qing Yun's worried face. He quickly came over and asked, "Qing Yun, I saw that your brows were tightly knitted. Did you encounter some kind of trouble?"

"Oh, it's General Qu. That's right, I did encounter some difficulty. "

"Oh! What is it? His Royal Highness might as well tell him. One person is a stratagem, while the other is a stratagem. Two people are a stratagem. Maybe I can help you with something. "

" Sigh! Just now, the Emperor summoned me to the study and said that he wanted to grant me a marriage. "

"Grant me a marriage!!! What kind of marriage?"

" The Emperor wants to betroth Princess Jinyu to me. "

"Wh! What!! Princess Jinyu? Why would the Emperor suddenly want to marry Princess Jinyu to the Royal Highness? Does Princess Jinyu know about this matter? "

" I think that the Princess should not know. If the Princess knew, she would definitely not agree. The Emperor naturally would not find me. The relationship between the Princess and me is only that of siblings and there is no relationship between us. I think that the Emperor might have misunderstood because the Princess often comes here. "

"Oh!? Is this matter that simple? Your Highness, I feel that this matter isn't that simple. " General Qu said with a frown.

"Oh? Tell me about it. " Although Qing Yun said this to General Qu, he actually had other thoughts in his heart. That was the Emperor ordering him to take charge of all the soldiers in the world. His meritorious service shocked the master. This was the intention of recruiting him. However, when he saw that he only said so, he became curious in his heart. He wanted to know if what he was thinking was the same as him.

"Qingyun, now the Emperor has given you the authority to command all the soldiers in the world. Furthermore, you have the Cloud Guardian in your hands. This is undoubtedly the greatest threat to the Emperor.
