The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 340 Is Just A Lie
Oi! I am an article!
Liu Yuan raised his eyes, his old face was filled with a flattering look: “In reply to the Emperor, everything I said was honest, there were absolutely no lies. At that time I was sure that the Emperor and Princess Liqing were a suitable match, only that this matter became what it is today because of Wu Chong's words!”
Liu Yuan thought that if he used Princess Liqing to speak, bringing up the Emperor's loved ones, he thought that he would win the Emperor's heart. Unexpectedly Emperor Zhaolie even put on a cold face and angrily said: “Liu Yuan, you are so presumptuous, you are insinuating my father cannot distinguish right from wrong, just listen and obey the words of others?”
Oi! I am an article!
Liu Yuan did not expect that not only did he not manage to look for face, but he also got angry, instantly he immediately knelt on the floor and said trembling: “I deserve to die, please Emperor forgive my sin, please Emperor forgive my sin, I have no such intention. I just thought Wu Chong's remark made no sense!”
Seeing the look on the other party's face that had turned pale from panic and his legs were also limp, the anger in Emperor Zhaolie's heart finally subsided a little, he then asked back with a cold face: “The words don't make sense? What does this word mean?”
Liu Yuan was fixated, took a deep breath, then calmly said: “Emperor, every generation of Kings in Kangqing believes in the hexagram of witches. Almost every king used a hexagram to determine the main affairs in the dynasty. Because of that the power of the witch family was slowly growing in the dynasty, quite a lot of criticized her. Fortunately, when in the hands of the Emperor now, the Emperor did not believe in these things, the Emperor handled national affairs with excellent wisdom and courage.”
“What do you really want to say?”
Oi! I am an article!
“I, I risked my life to say this, at that time, Wu Chong predicted that the Queen now had a destiny as the Queen, after which the previous Emperor did not care about the obstruction of the officials, forced the Crown Prince to ascend the throne and chose a good day to elevate Qin Ruojiu as Queen. Although Qin Ruojiu was completely predicted to be the Queen, but what I want to say is if Wu Chong does not make any predictions in a hurry, then after the Crown Prince ascends the throne, it will be after the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Queen's position today should not be her!”
Emperor Zhaolie smiled faintly and said flatly: “Then, Liu Yuan, who do you think should be my Queen?”
“Liu Yuan, do you know that what you are saying right now is a very big act of rebellion?” Emperor Zhaolie squinted his black eyes, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
The pale old face of Liu Yuan still insisted on saying: “I, I have said before that I risked my life to say this, the Emperor may listen to it, but if the Emperor doesn't want to listen to it, then the Emperor can kill me. I am willing to use my own life to awaken the royal family's superstition regarding witches.”
“You....”.
“Emperor. Back then, Wu Chong looked at the Crown Prince who was the current Emperor who did not believe in the divination of the witches, nor did he even like the existence of the witch clan. He was afraid that if he left then the magician clan he had supported all this time would be destroyed, therefore he had no choice but to thrust the disaster-bearer girl into the Queen's position to consolidate the position of magician in the Palace.”
“What?” Hearing this remark, Emperor Zhaolie suddenly raised his eyes, his ice-cold gaze sweeping over Liu Yuan, doesn't that mean inevitably going into a cold war with the aging body of the previous Emperor?
“Emperor, if Emperor does not believe then can send someone to verify it. All the words I say are true!”
“Is it possible that he can stand side by side with me in this dynasty not because it is destined, but is a plan from someone who has died?” Emperor Zhaolie froze there, his black eyes shining with flashes of hatred. Is it possible that all this is just a lie? Was he and his father who he respected the most fooled by this bunch of people who were full of nonsense?
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhaolie closed his black eyes in annoyance, his handsome face showing a cold look with an evil charm.
“Answing the Emperor, even if it was fate, there was no way that fate would fall on a witch woman. So, please Emperor think carefully!”
