Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 687 Succeed or benevolent!

In Zhengyang Hall, Li Qiong was sitting behind the desk, with an open memorial in front of him.

He stared intently at the memorial, as if he was seriously reviewing the memorial.

But as long as he observes patiently, he can find that he has been looking at the memorial in front of him for a long time.

This far exceeded his usual speed of reviewing memorials.

Zuo Ji, who was standing beside him, did not dare to remind him, so he could only silently pick up the cold tea cup and ask someone to bring a new cup of hot tea.

When the teacup fell on the desk, there was a slight sound.

Li Qiong suddenly raised her head as if awakened from a dream, and blurted out.

"Is anyone here?"

Zuoji paused.

He looked at the new emperor in surprise.

Li Qiong looked at the empty door and knew that he was thinking too much.

He pursed his lower lip, then lowered his head and continued to read the memorial.

Zuo Ji said cautiously: "Who is Your Majesty waiting for?"

Li Qiong replied without raising her head.

"Nobody."

Zuo Ji guessed that the new emperor should be waiting for the regent, but he dared not say so as not to annoy the unhappy little emperor in front of him.

"This cinnabar doesn't seem to be much, this servant is going to get a new box."

Zuo Ji cupped his hands towards the new emperor, bowed his head and exited Zhengyang Hall.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he immediately summoned a clever little eunuch and asked in a low voice.

"Where is the Prince Regent?"

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "According to the news from Habayashi Guard, it is said that the regent Prince Shen Shi has entered the palace gate. Calculating the time, he should be here soon."

"Let Ye Xiaowei and Habayashi Wei be ready to wait for the saint's orders at any time. This time, we must let the regent come and go!"

At the end, Zuo Ji gritted his teeth, and there was a ruthlessness in his voice.

They and the new emperor are grasshoppers on the same boat. If something happens to the new emperor, they, as the servants of the new emperor, will certainly not escape.

So they must go all out, if they fail, they will succeed!

The little eunuch nodded vigorously: "Here!"

He hurried away.

Zuo Ji stood on the high steps, looking at the sunset in the distance.

The fiery red sun dyed half of the sky red, looking from a distance, it looked like a blazing flame.

The palace was shrouded in red twilight, as if it was also burned by this flame.

It was at this time that two figures appeared at the end of the line of sight.

They were covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, and their whole bodies seemed to be coated with a layer of golden-red brilliance.

Zuo Ji was taken aback.

He looked intently, and soon recognized that the tall man walking in front was the regent Li Ji!

Zuo Ji secretly thought, finally here!

He immediately turned around and ran back to the hall, and said to the new emperor.

"Your Majesty, the traitor Li Ji is here!"

Li Qiong raised her head quickly: "Where is the person?"

Zuo Ji: "It's just outside the hall, should Ye Xiaowei and Habayashi guard take him down now?"

Li Qiong stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked a few steps back and forth in the hall.

After thinking twice, he just made a decision.

"Let's do it."

Although it is very unkind to do so, it will damage his reputation if it spreads out, but the matter has come to this point, reputation and so on can only be put aside for the time being, the most important thing at present is to put down the rebellion and keep his throne.

Zuo Ji cupped his hands and replied, "Your servant will make arrangements now."

When Li Ji and Hua Dingzong walked up to the steps at the entrance of Zhengyang Hall, nearly a thousand Habayashi guards and Ye Xiao guards suddenly came out.

Armed with weapons and shields, they completely surrounded Li Ji and Hua Dingzong.

Hua Dingzong was frightened by the posture in front of him, and the two groups fought, and he couldn't speak well.

"You, what are you doing? I was ordered to bring the regent to face the Holy Spirit. Don't hinder me from doing things."

"Don't be afraid Zhong Anbo, you have nothing to do here, please come here."

Hua Dingzong followed the prestige and saw two people standing on the top of the steps, namely Li Qiong and Zuo Ji.

The person who greeted Hua Dingzong just now was Zuo Ji.

Hua Dingzong looked at the Prince Regent beside him, he wanted to leave but dared not, he was very hesitant.

Li Ji tilted his head slightly, and said a few words to Hua Dingzong in a low voice.

After Hua Dingzong listened, his complexion suddenly became ugly.

Li Ji gently pushed behind him.

"Go."

Obviously Li Ji didn't use much strength, but Hua Dingzong staggered two steps forward uncontrollably.

He first looked at the new emperor who was standing far away on the step paper with a gloomy expression, and then he looked at the regent standing behind him, feeling very entangled in his heart.

Zuo Ji couldn't help but said: "What is Uncle doing? Why don't you come over?"

Hua Dingzong hesitated for a while, and finally took heavy steps, slowly stepped up the steps, and walked in front of the new emperor.

"My minister pays homage to the saint."

Li Qiong lowered her eyes slightly: "What did Li Ji tell you just now?"

Beads of sweat dripped from Hua Dingzong's forehead because he was too nervous.

He answered with a trembling voice.

"He said that Manman is not dead, he is hiding in the palace."

Li Qiong: "Do you believe it?"

Hua Dingzong didn't know how to answer. In desperation, the sweat on his head became more intense.

At this time, Li Qiong's mind was on Li Ji, and she didn't want to waste time on Hua Dingzong. Seeing that Hua Dingzong couldn't utter a word for a long time, she waved her hand to signal the other party to back down.

Hua Dingzong hurriedly retreated behind Zuo Ji as if he had received an amnesty.

Zuo Ji turned his head and smiled at him, and said kindly: "Uncle seems to be very hot, do you want to find a place to rest for a while?"

Although Zhong Anbo is timid and cowardly, it is difficult to achieve great things, but he is the new emperor's grandfather after all, with a distinguished status, so Zuo Ji naturally wants to be extra polite to him.

Hua Dingzong wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and pretended to be calm: "No, no."

At this time, Li Ji was trapped in the enemy army, but he didn't panic, his body was always straight, like a sharp spear.

He raised his head slightly, looked directly at the new emperor not far away, and said loudly.

"I'm here, where is Manman?"

Li Qiong was wearing luxurious clothes that represented the identity of the emperor, and he looked very imposing, but because he was still young, his body had not fully grown, and his face was still a bit childish.

Especially under the background of Li Ji, Li Qiong looks more and more like a child who hasn't grown up yet.

Li Qiong's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

He hated the feeling.

When he was a prince, he was always oppressed by the regent, and he had to obey the regent's arrangement in everything. As a prince, he had no authority at all.

Now that he has ascended the throne and become the emperor, when facing the regent, he still can't get rid of the feeling of being short.

Sure enough, Mr. Zhu was right.

As long as Li Ji is still alive, his throne will not be secure

Li Qiong raised the corners of his mouth, deliberately showing a nasty smile.

"She has been hidden by me. If you want her to live, kneel down and kowtow to me."

He thought Li Ji would become angry from embarrassment.

However, without even thinking about it, Li Ji knelt down and kowtowed to him.

The action was crisp and neat, without the slightest hesitation.
