Chapter 25

On New Year's Eve, there was a joyful gathering, because You Ning was afraid of the cold, he just sat at the banquet for a short while and failed to keep watch. Although it was against the rules, the emperor didn't say anything, and the courtiers couldn't blame him.

Qin Tianjian watched the sky at midnight, speculating on Xu Guo's new year's luck, but what he saw shocked several Qin Tianjians.

It was originally a festive night, but because of the words of several Qin Tianjians, the atmosphere became dignified.

"I waited to watch the sky at night, and saw the dark star entering the Ziwei Star Palace with my own eyes, which has shaken the foundation of the country. If the dark star is not removed in time, I am afraid that the kingdom of Xu will perish."

Whether Qin Tianjian's words are true or not, in fact, the courtiers know it well, everyone can see the changes in this year, the decline of Xu State is a foregone conclusion, and it cannot be saved.

"Tell me, who is this dark star?"

"I see that the dark star is dark and lacks masculinity, so I guess this person should be someone from His Majesty's harem."

Who is in Xu Yanjin's harem, and everyone in the court and the public don't know, isn't there only one queen?

"It's a bunch of nonsense, come here, let me drag out these rebellious officials and thieves who are bewitching the public with their lies!"

"Your Majesty, on New Year's Eve, it's not appropriate to kill people."

They had no way of persuading Xu Yanjin to kill Qi Youning. They could only find a way to keep these Qin Tianjians. They were all ministers who were dedicated to Xu Guo, but because of Qi Youning, they would suffer innocent disasters.

It was really inappropriate to kill the ministers of the court on New Year's Eve, so many ministers wanted to plead for mercy, so Xu Yanjin gave these ministers a face, but sent them to the prison for retrial in a few days.

The news that there was a catastrophe in the harem spread quickly, and it reached Youning in an instant. Youning was also speechless. She had only been back for a long time, and her hands hadn't been warmed yet, so this rumor spread again.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely protect your Majesty."

You Ning felt that what Qin Tianjian said was right, she was indeed a disaster star, if Xu Yanjin really killed her, she would be much more relaxed.

The rumors have not been suppressed, but intensified, and even the folks have spread, saying that the queen Qi Youning is the reincarnation of Daji, Chu State deliberately sent her to Xu State to charm the monarch, and the people also begged Qi Youning Give death, make a lot of noise.

Xu Yanjin sent additional guards around You Ning to prevent people with evil intentions from doing harm to You Ning.

In the court, Xu Yanjin suppressed all the courtiers by himself, and his methods were extreme. Those who dared to mention this matter were all executed, but there were still courtiers who were not afraid of death and begged Xu Yanjin to kill Qi Youning.

Qi Youning walked to the door of the imperial study room, and saw a minister being dragged out of the imperial study room again. The direction they were going in, Youning recognized, should be the execution ground, and it seemed that it was another person who begged Xu Yanjin to give her death.

There is no way to go on like this, we always have to find a way to solve it.

You Ning walked a few steps quickly, stopped those guards, "Stop."

Everyone knew the queen's position in the emperor's heart, and the guards dared not disobey the queen's words.

But that minister didn't know what was going on, and continued to call Qi Youning a witch in front of her, Ping Wu couldn't stand it anymore, "Your Majesty."

"Let him go."

"This"

The guards didn't know what to do, the emperor's order was to execute him, but Qi Youning asked them to let him go, and they didn't know who to listen to.

"Empress, His Majesty's will."

The guards dared not go against Xu Yanjin's will, and You Ning could not make things difficult for them, "Take it back to the imperial study, and I will go to persuade Your Majesty."

"Yes."

This is the best way to deal with it, the worst is to take this person to the execution ground and behead him. If Qi Youning can really persuade Xu Yanjin, it will also save a loyal subject.

Ping Wu didn't know why You Ning did this, even if all these courtiers were killed by Xu Yanjin, they had nothing to do with You Ning, why did You Ning make such an unnecessary move?

Youning took the minister who had just been condemned to death into the imperial study. Several old ministers in the imperial study stood silently on one side, not daring to breathe, fearing that they would be taken away like the minister just now. Walk.

"Why did Concubine Ai bring this traitor?"

You Ning came to Xu Yanjin's side, stroked his back lightly, and calmed his emotions, "My lords are also thinking about Xu's country, Your Majesty must not get angry."

Nothing is as effective as a few words from Qi Youning, and I don't know what kind of ability this Qi Youning has that can kill Xu Yanjin so much.

"My dear concubine, do you know what these courtiers have said?"

"The concubine knows that they just want to find a way to break it, not against the concubine."

Qi Youning spoke for them, but they just wanted Qi Youning to die, so that the evil concubine, who was a disaster for the country, would continue to stay by the emperor's side, causing endless troubles.

"As long as I stay away from Your Majesty during this period, isn't it okay to take me back to the palace when the situation changes?"

Huixing has entered the Ziweixing Palace. As long as he drives Huixing away from the emperor, it should be effective. There is no need to kill Qi Youning.

What's more, Qi Youning is still the princess of Chu State, and because of Qin Tianjian's few words, Qi Youning was bestowed to death, and Chu State will inevitably have a hard time explaining it.

The method proposed by Qi Youning is indeed the best method so far.

"The concubine likes the palace, how about His Majesty sending the concubine to the palace?"

You Ning wanted to stay away from the center of the vortex, but Xu Yanjin didn't want to, the palace was too far away, sending You Ning there, Xu Yanjin thought it would be difficult to see You Ning.

"No."

This is the first time that Xu Yanjin has rejected You Ning, You Ning can do whatever he wants, but Xu Yanjin will never allow You Ning to leave his side.

Qi Youning's method was accepted by those courtiers, but in the end Xu Yanjin disagreed.

"There is no discussion on this matter. I don't believe in those so-called destiny. If there are people who deceive people with false rumors, I will never forgive them lightly."

This minister thought it was to give You Ning face, and Xu Yanjin spared his life. However, he could not escape the death penalty, so Xu Yanjin dismissed all his political posts and let him return to his hometown.

Xu Yanjin was so stubborn that he had exhausted all the patience of the ministers.

There have been many changes on the border recently, and the guard felt that a big war might be triggered, so he reported to the imperial court in advance and asked for support, but the imperial capital was undercurrents, and the urgent border report disappeared on the way, and did not reach Xu Yanjin.

The Chu army pressed on the border, and the border guards could not resist the Chu army and retreated steadily. This also became the trigger of the court battle.

Some courtiers have had enough of Xu Yanjin's tyranny, and they have been plotting secretly for a long time, only waiting for a legitimate reason to make the treason justifiable one day.

The border war spread to the capital, and the military generals with heavy troops in their hands joined forces with some civil servants to ask the emperor to bestow Qi Youning's death under the name of "Qing Emperor's side".

You Ning was not surprised to hear this, this day should have come long ago.
