Chapter 146: A Slippery Ground [IV]

It was nearly the end of July, and the weather was still very hot. Zhao Ling was waiting under the corridor outside the Harmony Hall. The noon sun was unbridled and projected on her body. The complicated clothes and skirts of ancient times added a bit of warmth.

There seemed to be beads of sweat dripping down her temples, Zhao Ling raised her hand to wipe them, and couldn't help but cursed in her heart.

This old emperor could really enjoy taking his time to sleep. She and Meng Yuan have been waiting here for nearly an hour, and he hasn't woken up from his nap.

It was a pity that she used to think that Emperor Ming was a good emperor who was diligent in government and loved the people.

"Ling'er, squat down." Meng Yuan took her hand and said angrily.

Zhao Ling squatted down according to the words and asked, "What's the matter, A-Yuan, is there any thing wrong?"

During the cold poison treatment, it was not advisable to be overly tired, but a few days ago, her imprisonment had exhausted him, and now that Mo Qingshan had happened again, she was really afraid that he would be too tired, affecting the treatment effect, and lead to the failure of all previous efforts.

Meng Yuan just took out a brocade handkerchief, raised his hand and wiped the sweat dripping from Zhao Ling's cheeks, with gentle movements, as if he was wiping something that he cherished very carefully.

He was extremely annoyed that his leg ailment had not been cured, and now he couldn't even do the trivial task of wiping Ling'er's sweat.

At this time, Eunuch Li finally took a small step and came out from the inner hall to communicate: "King Xuan, Princess Xuan, please come in."

Zhao Ling pushed Meng Yuan's wheelchair and stepped over the high threshold of the Harmony Hall.

Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of surprise. Didn't he come to plead for Mo Qingshan?

"Long live the emperor, this minister's daughter has come to fulfil the emperor's promise." Zhao Ling uttered solemnly but firmly.

"Promise? When did I promise you anything?" Emperor Ming snorted coldly.

However, Zhao Ling calmly took out a piece of beautifully crafted gold medallion from her arms, with a steady tone, and said slowly: "The servant girl asks the emperor's permission to exchange the death exemption token of the servant girl for Mo Qingshan's life."

The emperor's voice fell, and there was silence in the Harmony Hall for a while.

Emperor Ming was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he became furious. With a popping sound, he slapped his right hand on the table, and the memorials on the table were shaken.

Eunuch Li, who was at the side of the, was shocked, his legs were trembling, his knees were weak, he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Your anger, your majesty. It's important to take care of your dragon's body."

Emperor Ming ignored Eunuch Li, and just stared at Zhao Ling, his face ashen, and said angrily: "Zhao family girl, you are so courageous, how dare you use what I have given you to disobey me? You... ...did you take me seriously?"

Zhao Ling sighed inwardly. She had long expected that the act of protecting Mo Qingshan's life with the death-free gold medallion would definitely make Emperor Ming furious.

Back then, he gave her such a precious gold medal to avoid death, but she was trying to use it to save someone he personally ordered to be executed. Didn't this make him shoot himself in the foot? Emperor Ming felt that his imperial authority had been deeply teased, and was so angry that he lost his mind for a while.

Zhao Ling finally realized what "Dragon Stern's Fury" was, and it was a bit terrifying when the Ninety-Five Vessels got angry. After all, this was an era in which imperial power was paramount. The furious emperor in front of her holds the power of life and death. As long as he spoke a few words, she could be killed immediately.

Zhao Ling was helpless and had to kneel down again, but her tone was as firm as ever. "The minister's daughter have no intention of disobedience. Please, I beg the emperor to calm down. It's just that Mo Qingshan is the adopted father of the minister's daughter, and now his life is at stake, and the minister's daughters is so anxious that she has no choice but to think of this method. Your dynasty has always governed the country with benevolence and filial piety, and I believe the emperor will be sympathetic. The minister's daughter is filial, and she is gracious, hoping that you grant what she asks for."

Zhao Ling's words were sincere, and her filial piety moved the sky. Emperor Ming couldn't think of a refutation for a while. He could only sneer and say a few words. "Okay, very good!" 

The emperor then turned his head, and asked Meng Yuan, "Do King Xuan also meant the same thing?"

"The words of Ling'er is the words of this king." Meng Yuan's voice was always cold and unaffected by Emperor Ming's anger.

"So, you can also disobey me for the minister's daughter's adopted father?" Emperor Ming looked at Meng Yuan with a cold face, a little sad, but also a little hopeful.

He wished he could hear a negative answer, but he was clearly disappointed.

Meng Yuan quietly looked at Emperor Ming's eyes, and the firm and stubborn eyes explained everything.

Emperor Ming was completely disappointed. His second son was so fond of Mo Qingshan, his adoptive father, but he was so identical to his biological father, which made him feel so indifferent!

He remembered his plans for the crown prince in the past two years. Whether it was talent or not, Meng Yuan was outstanding among several princes. Recently, he heard that his leg disease is expected to be cured. Emperor Ming really had the idea of ​​passing the throne to this second son. .

But now it seemed that this second son couldn't be caring towards him at all, he was so disappointed in Meng Yuan that he decided to think carefully about his successor.
